Soon.
Qian Renxue and her younger brother, Qian Renjue, arrived at the breakfast area.
The luxuriously decorated room featured small round tables beneath crystal chandeliers.
Qian Daoliu and Qian Xunji, father and son, had already been waiting for a while.
Qian Renjue released Qian Renxue's hand.
He held up his wooden swords in both hands, waving them high in greeting.
"Grandpa, Dad, good morning!"
Qian Renxue was much calmer, nodding her head and greeting them softly.
"Grandfather, Father."
"Haha, good, Xiaoxue is good, Xiaojue, come here. Let Grandpa hold you."
Before Qian Xunji could say anything.
Qian Daoliu had already stepped forward eagerly and picked up Qian Renjue.
A smile was radiant on his face.
After spending time with Qian Renjue, Qian Daoliu felt as if he had become much younger.
Originally, he had almost lost emotional fluctuations and felt a sense of impending death, but now his body and mind seemed to be filled with vibrant vitality once more.
The lagging Qian Xunji saw that he hadn't managed to snatch up the well-behaved son. He could only turn his gaze towards the composed Qian Renxue.
He squatted down and opened his arms.
A gentle smile hung on his face, and his eyes were filled with hope.
"Little Xue'er, would you like to..."
"I don't want to."
Before he could finish speaking,
Qian Renxue shook her head, politely declining her old father's hug.
"..."
Qian Xunji sighed helplessly.
It seemed that having a daughter who was too exceptional wasn't necessarily a good thing.
Before he could even stand up, warmth washed over him.
Qian Renxue stepped forward and gently embraced him, her voice clear as she said, "Let's eat, Father."
"Yes, yes, let's eat, let's eat!"
Even from just a simple embrace, Qian Xunji couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth.
Without a second thought, he picked up Qian Renxue and placed her on a stool.
Qian Renxue's face flushed slightly.
She wasn't young anymore and wasn't used to this kind of childish coaxing.
The home she'd lived in before definitely wasn't like this.
Qian Renxue turned her head, looking at her younger brother who had just sat down. These were all changes brought about by Qian Renjue.
"Sister."
Qian Renjue picked up his own cutlery and smiled at Qian Renxue.
Then he asked Qian Daoliu, "Grandfather, what delicious food are we having today?"
"For breakfast today, Grandfather has prepared a surprise for you."
"Dad! I have a share, too."
Facing Qian Xunji's desire to show off in front of his children, Qian Daoliu was dismissive, and directly wanted to send him away.
"Go, go, what are you doing here, have you finished dealing with everything?"
Qian Renjue couldn't help but laugh.
Qian Renxue was also amused, she liked how this family had become.
It had more warmth, rather than rigid rules and regulations.
"..."
Qian Xunji opened his mouth.
He felt like he was really becoming the most superfluous person in this family.
However, he really should go to the Papal Palace.
He isn't in the mood to argue with Qian Daoliu.
Qian Xunji stepped forward and rubbed Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue's heads, speaking softly,
"You two be good and don't run around."
He said.
Qian Xunji unconsciously touched the scar on Qian Renjue's brow.
His eyes were filled with guilt and apology.
"Especially Xiao Jue, if you want to go anywhere, you can call Dad."
"I know!"
Qian Renjue nodded with a smile.
He didn't take Qian Xunji's words to heart.
His father sat in the high hall all day, how could he have time to spend with him?
Qian Xunji nodded with satisfaction and then instructed Qian Renxue: "Little Xue, you're still young. You need to practice swordsmanship in moderation."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded.
She also didn't take it to heart.
She knew her own body best.
Qian Xunji helplessly twitched the corner of his mouth. It seemed he wasn't very good at being a father either.
He subtly glanced at Qian Daoliu.
Then, a strange smile appeared on Qian Xunji's face, and he rubbed his children's heads.
He dropped the smile and quickly said, "Little Jue, your breakfast today has a small amount of Whale Gel!"
"Shut up! You bastard!"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu, who had been anticipating a pleasant surprise, immediately burst out in anger.
"Dad, don't be so harsh, the children are still here!"
As Qian Xunji quickly departed, he didn't forget to turn back and remind his old father to watch his words.
At this moment, Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue had no time to pay attention to Qian Daoliu, whose words were as sweet as honey. They were staring intently at the food cart, their purple eyes shining.
Qian Renxue also took a moment to glance at her younger brother.
Ever since Qian Renjue could read…
He had discovered the record of Whale Gel in the [Dilapidated Ancient Book] produced by the system. It clearly stated that Whale Gel had the effects of an aphrodisiac and enhancing a Soul Master's physical qualities.
Now, after Qian Daoliu and the others had examined it…
They could finally consume it.
This was the foundation for obtaining higher-year soul rings after awakening their Martial Souls in the future!
Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue couldn't help but take this seriously.
"Ahem."
Qian Daoliu coughed twice, suppressing his anger, and didn't beat around the bush.
He took out the delicacies from the food cart.
He cheerfully introduced: "We've already confirmed the effects of the Whale Gel. Now, we can initially add the lower-aged Whale Gel, after processing, into your daily meals. This way, you won't have too much of a burden absorbing it."
As Qian Daoliu spoke, he pushed two large bowls in front of the siblings.
Lifting the lids, inside was a fragrant, rich meat porridge.
Sprinkled on top of the golden-hued porridge were many emerald green vegetables, making one's appetite soar.
Slurp!
Qian Daoliu didn't need to say another word.
Qian Renjue couldn't resist, and gently slurped from the edge of the bowl.
It smelled exotic, and had a faint fishy taste upon entering his mouth. As soon as he swallowed, a warm current flowed throughout his body, and a strange fragrance wafted from his mouth and nose.
"Xiao Jue, you... be careful, it's hot."
Qian Daoliu couldn't help but remind him.
"It's not hot."
Qian Renjue happily shook his head, looked at Qian Renxue, and said with a smile: "Elder Sister, it's delicious! Drink it quickly!"
Slurp!
After speaking, Qian Renjue began to slurp down his porridge.
"Mmm, Jue, drink slowly."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, her voice filled with gentle concern.
Watching Qian Renjue hug the bowl and vigorously slurp the porridge from the rim, she smiled warmly.
Turning back, she picked up her own small golden spoon and began to enjoy her meal slowly.
Qian Daoliu watched the two youngsters with a smile.
He was, in a way, enjoying the bliss of family.
The only regret... was that his own scoundrel hadn't handled the matter of the two little fellows' mother properly.
\n\n
At the same time that Qian Renjue and the others were eating...
Qian Xunji, who had just left, walked out of the Worship Hall.
The words "scoundrel" seemed to echo from the hall behind him.
Qian Xunji raised his hand to shield his eyes, looking up at the sky.
He'd been called a scoundrel for some time now. It seemed he hadn't even been a good father.
He chuckled to himself, a self-deprecating laugh.
Qian Xunji quickly made his way towards the Papal Palace halfway up the mountain.
He couldn't change the past; he should look to the future more and think about his two children.
In the room.
Qian Renjue had already finished most of his bowl of meat porridge.
Seeing Qian Renxue still eating slowly, Qian Renjue couldn't help but gently pat her.
"Sister, look at me, look at me!"
"I'll teach you how to drink porridge. It's not hot like this, slurp~ slurp!"
Saying this, Qian Renjue put his mouth on the bowl and slurped all around.
"..."
Qian Renxue watched, a look of difficulty on her face.
Although she found it amusing, her upbringing simply wouldn't allow her to eat in such a manner.
"Sister, it's faster this way."
Seeing Qian Renxue's lack of response, Qian Renjue urged her again, speaking kindly.
"Jue, Sister isn't in a hurry. You should slow down too; eating too fast isn't good for digestion."
Qian Renxue gently touched Qian Renjue's cheek, tenderly wiping away the meat porridge that clung to his face.
While gently declining, she also tried to get him to change his eating habits, which, though amusing, weren't very presentable.
I wish everyone a happy life!
