To adapt to various roads, Qian Xunji chose a carriage that, while luxurious, wasn't particularly large.
The interior walls of the carriage were inlaid with golden patterns, shimmering with light.
Three sides were lined with cushions and backrests. They were all meticulously sewn from superior silk, feeling soft and smooth to the touch.
In the center of the carriage, a tea table was placed for brewing tea and burning incense.
The space wasn't large, but it could comfortably accommodate over a dozen people.
Pulling the carriage were horses with the bloodline of soul beasts.
Three horses, lined up in a row.
The carriage was driven by the two elders, Chrysanthemum and Ghost.
Chrysanthemum Douluo sat in the carriage, frequently glancing back at the carriage behind them.
He always felt... He seemed to have stumbled upon a significant secret.
The mother the two children were looking for, could it be the Holy Maiden?
Thinking about the sudden deterioration of the master-disciple relationship... The closer he got to the truth, the more terrified Chrysanthemum Douluo became.
Ghost Douluo drove the horses.
The shock in his heart was no less than Chrysanthemum Douluo's.
Regarding this matter... Both of them knew very well that whether it existed or not, they had to pretend it didn't.
They still understood the basic stakes!
Inside the carriage.
Qian Xunji leaned back in the main seat.
Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue were on either side, resting their heads on his legs.
In this not-so-spacious space.
There was no way for Qian Renjue and the others to move around freely and play.
After a long time.
Qian Renjue, who had been full of anticipation, couldn't help but feel sleepy.
At this moment, the siblings were both fast asleep.
Qian Xunji gently stroked the children's hair, his face showing affection.
He looked like a noble young master, approachable and refined.
He raised his head, looking at the scenery outside the window. As time passed, they were getting closer and closer to the exit of the Hell Road.
Qian Xunji had thought of Bibi Dong, having not seen her in two years.
People are not plants. He had nurtured her for over a decade, so how could he not have any feelings for her? But Qian Xunji still chose to destroy her with his own hands!
Ever since he had done that thing.
Qian Xunji had also regretted it. But at this moment, those regrets had long since vanished.
Wrong or right, it no longer mattered to him.
After Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue were born, it was all irrelevant.
He really liked this pair of siblings.
If Bibi Dong wanted to scold him, or kill him, then so be it.
He, Qian Xunji, would endure it all.
He only hoped that she wouldn't involve the two children.
After two and a half days of travel.
The carriage finally stopped in a lush, dense forest.
It was night. Chrysanthemum and Ghost lit a bonfire outside.
Watching the Pope roasting meat and cooking porridge over the fire, they couldn't hide their surprise.
The Pope cooking… it was truly beneath her.
"Jue, it's dark outside. Don't go out."
Suddenly, Qian Renxue's voice came from the carriage.
Then, Qian Renjue spoke.
"Sister, it's okay, Jue isn't afraid of the dark."
The words fell.
The carriage curtain was lifted, and two small figures stepped out of the carriage.
"Dad!"
Qian Renjue ran quickly and threw himself into Qian Xunji's arms.
Qian Renxue hurried to catch up.
"Little Jue, how are you? Are you still sleepy?"
Qian Xunji put down the roasted meat and held Qian Renjue in his arms.
Next, he pulled Qian Renxue over and sat her down on a cushion.
"I'm not sleepy anymore. I've slept enough."
Qian Renjue rubbed his eyes, looked left and right, and greeted Chrysanthemum and Ghost.
"Good evening, Sister Chrysanthemum, Grandpa Ghost!"
"Good evening, Young Master Jue."
Chrysanthemum Douluo quickly responded.
Ghost Douluo was even more terrified of the title 'Grandpa Ghost'.
"Hehe."
Hearing his new title, Qian Renjue felt it was quite novel.
Then, looking at Qian Xunji, he asked curiously, "Dad, have we arrived already?"
"Yes, we've arrived. You'll be able to see Mom tomorrow, are you happy?"
Qian Xunji chuckled lightly, not showing any sign of abnormality.
"Happy!"
Qian Renjue replied joyfully, excitedly nuzzling into Qian Xunji's embrace.
Qian Renxue watched quietly, worry in her eyes.
Looking at his son's expectant expression.
Qian Xunji was also worried, but he didn't say anything more.
Smiling, he said, "Alright, you've slept for most of the day, you must be hungry. Dad has already prepared some food."
"Mmhmm, I'm hungry!"
Qian Renjue nodded heavily, glanced at Qian Renxue, and giggled, "I even heard elder sister's stomach rumbling just now."
"Jue, you're talking nonsense!"
Grumble
Before Qian Renxue could finish speaking, her stomach had already betrayed her.
Her face immediately flushed a deep red.
"Elder sister, Jue really isn't talking nonsense, oh."
Qian Renjue went over to Qian Renxue, reaching out to rub her stomach.
"Mmm, Renjue, stop moving around! It tickles!"
Qian Renxue's face flushed red as she grabbed Qian Renjue's hand, which was groping around on her stomach.
"Little Xue, since you're hungry, why don't you eat some porridge first?"
Qian Xunji knew his daughter's personality well.
He didn't dare to laugh out loud, and after serving two bowls of porridge, he handed them over.
"Thank you, Dad."
Qian Renxue held the hot porridge.
Qian Renjue didn't disturb her either, reaching out to take his own portion.
Carefully, he blew on it and then took a gentle sip.
"Slurp~! Delicious."
Listening to the sound and watching Qian Renjue's actions, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't help but swallow. He was really quite curious about what the thing the Pope had made actually tasted like.
"Jue, use a spoon, please."
Qian Renxue frowned slightly, picked up a spoon, and handed it to Qian Renjue.
"Okay."
Qian Renjue nodded. At that moment, he noticed Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze.
He immediately smiled and ran towards Chrysanthemum Douluo.
He held the bowl to his mouth.
"Sister Chrysanthemum, would you like to try some? It's delicious."
"Young Master Jue, this subordinate isn't hungry."
Chrysanthemum Douluo waved his hands repeatedly.
Qian Renjue ignored him, holding the spoon and trying to feed him.
"Sister Chrysanthemum, try it. It's really good."
"Young Master Jue, no need."
Before Chrysanthemum Douluo could finish speaking, he sensed Qian Xunji's sharp gaze from the side.
His heart trembled slightly.
He quickly changed his words with a dry laugh.
"Ahaha, no need for that, Young Master Jue. This subordinate brought a bowl, I have a bowl."
With that, he quickly took out his large, flowery bowl.
"Alright, then Jue, pour half into Sister Chrysanthemum's bowl."
"Thank you, Young Master Jue."
Chrysanthemum Douluo held the porridge, not daring to look around anymore, and ate in silence, head bowed.
Immediately after, Qian Renjue ran to Ghost Douluo and held out a spoon, ready to feed him.
"Grandpa Ghost, try some too."
"Okay, okay."
With Chrysanthemum Douluo's lesson learned, how could Ghost Douluo refuse?
He obediently opened his mouth, and then his whole body stiffened.
It was just because Qian Xunji's eyes were even fiercer!
Oh, dear!
This action of Qian Renjue's...
More than calling him 'Grandpa Ghost' when they first met, it was more than he could bear!
Qian Renjue looked at him with a puzzled expression, and asked, "Grandpa Ghost, is it not delicious?"
"Delicious, delicious!"
"That's good."
Looking at the spoon being extended towards him.
Ghost Douluo numbly opened his mouth, looking at Chrysanthemum Douluo as if seeking help.
He didn't have a bowl!
Let Young Master Jue serve him, he was scared.
Chrysanthemum Douluo had already noticed something was wrong, but he just kept his head down and tasted the Pope's culinary skills.
Looking at Ghost Douluo.
Qian Xunji's gaze became colder and colder.
He hadn't even been fed a few times.
"Chrysanthemum!"
Ghost Douluo couldn't take it anymore!
His lips moved, and he sent a sound transmission to Chrysanthemum Douluo, begging for help.
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked up helplessly.
He really couldn't help him. He also only had a big flower bowl.
"Pfft, haha!"
Qian Renxue couldn't help but burst out laughing, and called out to Qian Renjue:
"Jue, let Elder Ghost eat it himself. Come here, Sister will serve you."
"Okay, big sister. Jue is coming right now."
Qian Renjue nodded and handed the bowl in his hand to Ghost Douluo.
"Here, Grandpa Ghost, eat more."
Seeing Qian Renjue leave, Ghost Douluo felt as if he had escaped death and cast a grateful glance at Qian Renxue.
Before he could relax, Qian Renjue returned and refilled the porridge in his hand.
He also carefully wiped clean the area around his mouth.
Ghost Douluo was somewhat stunned. He had never met a child like this, let alone someone who was so affectionate towards him.
The system's voice rang out at the right moment.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully conveying great love for the first time! (Target: Gui Mei)] [Reward received: 800 points!]
"Thank you, Young Master Jue!"
Grandpa Ghost's raspy voice followed, unusually soft and gentle.
