Chapter 2: Fortune changes every three years; never underestimate a young girl's potential!
Qian Renxue locked herself in her room.
With his back against the cold door panel, his body slid down little by little until he finally collapsed onto the cold ground.
She curled up her legs, hugging her knees tightly and shrinking herself into a ball, like a wounded little animal.
Tears fell silently.
One drop after another, it gathered into a small puddle on the floor.
"Why, why are you doing this to me? Should I really not have been born?"
She bit her lip, the taste of blood spreading between her teeth.
Her father left shortly after she was born.
And the way her mother, Bibi Dong, looked at her.
It doesn't look like he's looking at his daughter.
It was as if she were looking at an enemy. It was her grandfather who led her away from that cold world and then raised her single-handedly.
However, her cultivation level disappeared.
Qian Daoliu's gaze also began to change.
From initial anxiety, rage, and a desire to search the entire continent for a cure for her...
after that,
It cooled down little by little, gradually turning into the indifference she feared most.
She dared not think too deeply about it, and simply attributed all the mistakes to her own lack of ambition.
She was still hoping.
I look forward to the day when I can cultivate my soul power again.
The grandfather who used to carry her on his shoulders and look at her with doting eyes will come back!
after all……
That was the person who was there for her through her darkest times.
Her dearest and most respected grandfather!
However, the words spoken inside the ancestral hall completely shattered her last psychological defenses.
She even... didn't want to live anymore!
at this time,
A long and deep voice suddenly rang in her mind.
"Alas! As a descendant of angels, how can I be defeated by such a small storm?"
Qian Renxue froze, her pupils shrinking sharply.
His long-standing vigilance, honed by years of infiltration into the Heavenly Dou royal family, instinctively overwhelmed all sorrow.
"Who? Who are you? What brings you into the Spirit Hall?"
She stood up, her gaze sweeping across every corner of the room like that of a hawk.
However, the surroundings were empty, and not even the curtains moved.
"Don't worry, I mean you no harm."
"As for me... I'm just a remnant soul that happened to enter your sea of consciousness."
Ling Xiao said slowly, his tone tinged with reminiscence.
He transmigrated to the Dou Qi Continent, where he happened to meet the wandering Zi Yan. The two conspired together and quickly rose to power.
But God gave him the destiny to travel through time, but not the template of a protagonist.
His rise has attracted the attention of the ancient imperial clans!
That old bastard, Soul Emperor, was even more shameless. He had just broken through to the Dou Sheng realm when he slapped him down.
If he hadn't reacted quickly enough
He had decisively self-destructed to escape, but he would likely have been suppressed under the Soul Palace forever, never to rise again.
I thought it was all over, but when I opened my eyes, I found myself transported to another time.
It even got put into Qian Renxue's body!
"Sea of Consciousness... a remnant soul?"
Qian Renxue was incredibly clever; she could connect the two words instantly by simply letting them roll around on her tongue.
"So—you're the one who caused my soul power to disappear?!"
Her voice trembled as she tried her best to suppress her anger. The soul tool she was using to transmit messages was being squeezed so tightly that it was cracking and fissures were appearing on its surface.
Faced with her question, I fell silent for a moment.
And silence,
In Qian Renxue's view, this meant tacit agreement.
"Heh...heh...five years, a full five years!"
She tilted her head back, large tears rolling down her cheeks, her voice tearing from deep within her throat.
"Do you know what I've been through these past five years?!"
"The moment I open my eyes, all I see are the intrigues and schemes in the imperial court! The moment I close my eyes, all I see are the faces of my grandfather and the people from the Spirit Hall, faces etched with disappointment!"
"I can't sleep at all, and I'm afraid to sleep!"
"I'm afraid that if I fall asleep, my soul power will mysteriously disappear again!"
"I trained with all my might, desperately trying to prove I wasn't a waste!"
"No matter how much I practice or how hard I try, my soul power is like sand in an hourglass!"
"Every bit of hard work and cultivation vanished completely in the blink of an eye, leaving not a trace!"
Qian Renxue screamed hysterically.
Even her secret of being an undercover agent in the Heaven Dou Empire was exposed by her roar in anger, yet she seemed oblivious to it.
"Now tell me—all of this is because of you!"
"You're the one who made me lose the last shred of family affection!"
"You're the one who made me a complete loser!"
At this moment, Qian Renxue no longer possessed even a trace of the heroic bearing and nobility of the young master of the Spirit Hall.
He was like a crazed wild beast.
His eyes were bloodshot, his hair was disheveled, and tears mixed with sweat clung to his cheeks.
It's madness mixed with a suffocating sense of devastation.
"Ahem...this was just an accident!"
"It wasn't something I did voluntarily."
Ling Xiao coughed lightly, his tone tinged with guilt and reluctance, knowing he was in the wrong.
"An accident? Heh."
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, gripping her hair as if she wanted to tear the person in her mind to pieces.
"You think you can cover all this up with just the word 'accident'?"
Ling Xiao remained silent for a moment.
Although he was infamous in the Dou Qi Continent, he still had his bottom line.
She never laid a hand on the elderly, weak, women, or disabled; her only activities were robbing husbands to help the poor.
He truly feels guilty for turning such a promising young woman into this state.
Besides... I'll still be counting on her to help me recover my physical body and cultivation level in the future!
"This was indeed my fault. I can make it up to you!"
"compensate?"
Qian Renxue was still furious, her chest heaving violently. She wanted to retort.
Five years, a full five years, from heaven to hell, what can compensate for that?
How will they compensate us?
But she thought of something else.
This person could make her soul power disappear, and even her grandfather and the entire Spirit Hall couldn't find the reason. Such methods...
Perhaps, the one who tied the knot must untie it.
"How will you compensate me?"
She suppressed her anger, but her tone was as cold as the wind blowing from the far north!
"I think you have some talent, and after these years of training, your character has improved a lot."
"I will make an exception today and reluctantly accept you as my personal disciple!"
Hearing the other person's tone as if they'd hit the jackpot,
Qian Renxue's chest, which had just calmed down, began to heave violently again.
He thought the other party would restore her cultivation or give her some kind of powerful secret treasure.
Unexpectedly, they wanted to take her as their apprentice.
You have to understand that the five years of unbearable suffering he endured were all caused by his own actions!
How dare he accept me as his apprentice?
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
Qianrenxue said with a voice full of resentment.
"Not only is it impossible, but I'm also going to tell my grandfather and have him tear you to pieces to vent my hatred!"
"Oh? Is that so?"
This little girl has quite a stubborn temper.
Ling Xiao's voice was leisurely, showing no annoyance whatsoever.
"Are you sure your grandfather will believe you, and not use it as an excuse to refuse to hand over the Angelic Armor?"
"And are you sure your grandfather can handle me?"
