Chapter 17. Soul Bones Should Be Given to Those Who Can Use Them.
Qian Xunji emerged from the secret room and returned to the Pope's Hall.
"Come in," Qian Xunji said to Jue Gui and the others outside the palace from his seat.
The hall door opened, and Yue Guan and Gui Mei walked in.
As Jue Gui and the others entered, Qian Xunji sensed their auras had both reached level 90.
Absorbing one soul ring would allow them to successfully ascend to Titled Douluo. Qian Xunji had noticed this upon returning, but Bibi Dong's situation was more pressing, so he overlooked it.
Now, after dealing with Bibi Dong, he could also address the soul ring issues of his two subordinates.
In the original novel, Yue Guan and Gui Mei's loyalty was evident. Jue Douluo struggled to the end, but failed to acquire a soul bone, was neglected by Bibi Dong, and ultimately died at the hands of Tang San. Although he considered defecting before his death, Yue Guan's fault was not his.
At that time, Bibi Dong was a person who only needed people to help her. When Guimei was around, Yueguan and Guimei were the elders guarding the hall, one in front and one behind, following Bibi Dong. Once Guimei died and her spirit fusion technique was broken, Yueguan was reduced to a role that could only carry out sneak attacks on logistics.
Qianxunji did want to reuse Jugui, because the old man was really, too stingy.
Just like the local rich man in Shanxi, he would keep three walnuts and two dates in his hands and never let them come out. With so many Titled Douluo hiding in the Elder Hall, how could they produce offspring?
After the Tang Hao incident, Qianxunji's reputation and prestige in the Spirit Hall were ruined. Qian Daoliu was unlikely to give Qianxunji more people to do whatever he wanted. Qianxunji could only develop the power in his hands.
"You two have both reached level ninety. It's time to obtain a spirit ring," Qianxunji said. "Let me ask you a question. Do you have confidence in absorbing a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring?"
Yueguan and Guimei, upon hearing the mention of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring, looked up in surprise at Qianxunji. Why did he bring up a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring? Did he want us to absorb one?
Seeing their hesitation, Qianxunji asked unhappily, "Let me ask you, do you have the confidence to absorb one?"
Yueguan looked delighted, but Guimei wasn't overwhelmed by the idea. He said, "Your Holiness, we don't have many spirit bones. Our current physical fitness isn't strong enough to withstand the impact of a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring."
Qianxunji stood up and went to the storage room behind the Pope's Hall. He searched the hall's archives. Spirit bones were extremely rare, after all. The vast majority of the Spirit Hall's spirit bones had been absorbed by the elders, leaving very few.
There are roughly a few soul bones that are tens of thousands of years old: the Wisdom Head Soul Bone of Concentrated Mind, the Explosive and Burning Flame Right Arm Bone, the Swift and Forward Chasing Wind Left Leg Bone, and the head soul bone that belongs to Hu Liena. Including the Wisdom Nightmare Head Soul Bone that Qian Xunji won in the Silver Lottery, there are five soul bones in total.
Excluding the head soul bone Bibi Dong gave to Hu Liena in the original novel, Qian Xunji took these four soul bones to the Pope's Palace. Regardless of whether these soul bones were suitable for Yueguan and Guimei, he used his soul power to carry the four soul bones and flew towards Yueguan and Guimei.
The Swift and Forward Chasing Wind Left Leg Bone and the Wisdom Nightmare Head Soul Bone flew towards Guimei.
The Explosive and Burning Flame Right Arm Bone and the Wisdom Head Soul Bone of Concentrated Mind flew towards Yueguan.
"So, what about these soul bones? Do you have confidence?" Qian Xunji asked.
Yueguan and Guimei held the two soul bones in a daze for a moment. Understanding Qianxunji's intention, they thought for a moment and said through gritted teeth, "If we count these two soul bones, we are confident, Your Holiness."
Qianxunji nodded and said, "That's best. These four soul bones belong to you. Don't waste my four soul bones and two spirit rings. Go absorb them. Once you've absorbed them, come back to me."
"Thank you, Your Holiness, for this gift. I will be loyal to you."
In the original novel, these soul bones ultimately fell into Shrek's hands. Originally, they were intended by Bibi Dong for the Spirit Hall's golden generation.
Qianxunji believed that instead of giving these three soul bones to the Spirit Hall's younger generation, it would be better to give them directly to the Spirit Hall's elders who could demonstrate their current combat power.
Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan's talents might allow them to surpass the two elders, Jue Gui, in the future. However, in the original novel's finale, these three hadn't even reached the rank of Titled Douluo, so what good would it do to give them a title?
Not to mention Hu Liena, who was also in love.
Bibi Dong had a nightmare she'd had for several nights. She dreamed of Qian Xunji's first violent encounter in a secret room, and then of being imprisoned in a dungeon and giving birth to Qian Renxue.
Finally, the dream shattered, and in the darkness, Bibi Dong saw two people: Yu Xiaogang and a young Qian Renxue.
Yu Xiaogang walked up to Bibi Dong and said affectionately, "Dong'er, you've suffered a lot over the years. Let's start over. Come with me."
Bibi Dong said with tears on her face, "Xiaogang, I'm no longer clean. Do you still want me?"
The handsome Yu Xiaogang walked up to Bibi Dong, reached out and wiped the tears from her cheeks, and said, "Dong'er, what nonsense are you talking about? No matter what you are like, you are the Dong'er I love deeply. Of course, there is one thing I cannot tolerate."
"That is--" Yu Xiaogang pointed at Qian Renxue and said, "Her!"
Bibi Dong looked in the direction of Yu Xiaogang's finger and saw Qian Renxue.
"Bibi Dong, she is Qian Xunji's daughter. If you want to be with me, then kill her. Qian Xunji's evil offspring should not remain in this world." Yu Xiaogang said.
"This..." Even if Bibi Dong hated Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue was, after all, her daughter, born after ten months of pregnancy, a piece of flesh that fell from her body. Bibi Dong couldn't bring herself to kill her. She said, "Xiaogang, she knows nothing after all."
"Bibi Dong, if I, Yu Xiaogang, were there, there would be no such bastard. If this bastard were there, there would be no Yu Xiaogang." After saying that, Yu Xiaogang pulled at his windbreaker and said righteously to Bibi Dong, "Do you want me, Yu Xiaogang, who deeply loves you and is full of wisdom and experience, or this bastard that Qian Xunji forced you to give birth to? Qian Renxue, make your own choice."
Bibi Dong: "..."
