Chapter 198 Qian Renxue's Current Strength
"My daughter..." Su Mo muttered, repeating it once.
He stared blankly at the tender, pink little life in the stroller, and an unprecedented emotion surged into his heart.
There was surprise, joy, and also helplessness.
Even having lived two lives, he had never been a father before; this was his first time.
Moreover, he never expected that in just two days, Ye Qingshuang would already be pregnant.
He had originally planned to take advantage of this time to work hard with Ye Qingshuang and conceive a child of their own before completely inheriting the God Position.
"Babble, babble..."
Hearing Su Lingling's voice, Su Mo instantly snapped back to reality.
He leaned down and carefully picked Su Lingling up from the stroller.
His movements were clumsy and cautious, afraid that using even a fraction more force would hurt her.
He even held his breath until he safely cradled his daughter in his arms, then slowly exhaled a breath.
Looking at his daughter smiling brightly in his arms, the corners of his lips rose involuntarily.
"Ling'ling..." Su Mo's voice unconsciously softened, "I am Daddy..."
Little Ling'ling's response was another burst of babbling laughter.
Ye Qingshuang and Bo Saixi did not disturb them either, just quietly watching this scene.
After teasing her for a moment, Su Mo put Su Lingling back into the stroller, turned around to gently hug Ye Qingshuang, rested his chin on the top of her head, and said softly, "Qingshuang, thank you for your hard work, and I am sorry that I wasn't there when you needed me the most."
Ye Qingshuang smiled and leaned into Su Mo's arms, "Don't say that. My Soul Power is not weak, and I'm not that delicate. On the day I gave birth to Ling'ling, I was already able to move around freely. Besides, my mother and a few sisters took very good care of me."
Su Mo said nothing more. After holding her for a moment, he gently released Ye Qingshuang and pulled Bo Saixi to sit together on the sofa.
While teasing Su Lingling, he asked, "By the way, has anything major happened this past year?"
"No," Bo Saixi smiled and shook her head. "However, if you're talking about major events, there is one. Two months ago, that girl Xue'er awakened her Martial Soul. Right after Awakening, the Martial Soul mutated, and its fire attribute greatly increased. Afterward, she consumed the bright sacred heart herb, and her Martial Soul evolved into eight wings, now called the Eight-Winged Blazing Angel."
"Oh?" Su Mo raised an eyebrow, revealing an interested smile. "That girl Xue'er's talent is indeed quite good. In that case, inheriting the Angel God should not be a problem."
Although Su Mo knew that the original Qian Renxue could inherit the Angel God, the trajectory of many things had already changed, and he could not be certain whether the current Qian Renxue could inherit the Angel God.
However, an eight-winged angel was definitely stronger than a six-winged one, so inheriting the Angel God should not be a problem.
"Indeed, the High Priest and the others were so happy back then," Ye Qingshuang smiled. "By the way, are you going to see her now? That little girl has been looking forward to your return, especially these past few days; every day after she finished Cultivate, she would run over here to see if you had come back."
"Where is that girl now?" Su Mo asked.
"She should be at home to Cultivate. Ever since she awakened her Martial Soul, the High Priest has been personally teaching her," Ye Qingshuang said softly.
Su Mo stood up, "Then I'll go see her and stop by to see Dong'er as well. You guys take good care of Ling'ling at home."
"Mm-hm, go ahead," Ye Qingshuang smiled.
Su Mo nodded and stood up, leaving the Holy Sons Palace.
Not long after, he arrived at Qian Xunji's residence.
At this moment, in the courtyard, Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, looking at a small figure in the distance, which was none other than Qian Renxue.
She was holding a small wooden sword, swinging it in a decent manner, but her expression was exceptionally focused, and every sword strike she made carried a strong sense of earnestness.
At this moment, Qian Daoliu seemed to sense something and looked toward the entrance, seeing Su Mo walking toward him.
The smile on the corners of his lips deepened a bit more, "Xiao Mo, you're back?"
Su Mo stopped not far in front of Qian Daoliu and greeted him with a smile, "Grandpa Qian."
"A year has passed, and your aura is even more refined than a year ago. It seems your harvest has not been small," Qian Daoliu looked him up and down, a trace of approval flashing in his eyes. "Right, your Gods Trial is completed, isn't it?"
Su Mo nodded, "Everything went very smoothly."
"That's good."
At this moment, a crisp exclamation came from the distance.
Qian Renxue had originally been focusing on practicing her sword, but suddenly turning around, she saw Su Mo.
The wooden sword in her hand almost slipped and fell to the ground, and then an unbelievable surprise flashed across her little face.
"Brother Su Mo!"
She hurriedly stopped her actions, spread her little legs, and sprinted toward Su Mo.
Su Mo squatted down and caught Qian Renxue in his arms.
Qian Renxue threw herself into Su Mo's arms, tightly hugging his neck, burying her little face in Su Mo's shoulder pocket, her voice carrying a hint of grievance yet full of joy, "Brother Su Mo, you're finally back. Xue'er missed you so much."
"Brother missed you too," Su Mo chuckled softly.
A moment later, Qian Renxue released Su Mo and said with a smile, "Brother Su Mo, let me show you my current strength."
As she spoke, golden light surged behind her, and the Eight-Winged Blazing Angel Martial Soul condensed and emerged, radiating a holy and scorching aura.
Surrounding her body were three Soul Rings—one yellow and two purple—and her Soul Power fluctuation had unexpectedly reached level thirty-one.
"Xue'er is truly amazing. Only two months after Awakening your Martial Soul, you are already a Soul Elder, and your second Soul Ring is even a thousand-year one," Su Mo praised with a smile. "You have already surpassed me back then. Brother is proud of you."
Regarding Qian Renxue's current strength, Su Mo was not too surprised. Qian Renxue had consumed whale glue since she was young, and her physical fitness far exceeded that of her peers, so absorbing a Soul Ring of a higher level was naturally a piece of cake.
Moreover, she had consumed an Immortal Herb early on, greatly boosting her Soul Power. Coupled with the extra energy from absorbing a higher-level Soul Ring, breaking through to a Soul Elder in two months was entirely normal.
Hearing Su Mo's praise, Qian Renxue couldn't be happier, her face brimming with smiles.
"Alright, go continue practicing your sword now. When you finish your training, Brother will play with you," Su Mo smiled and rubbed her head.
Qian Renxue nodded heavily, then pulled the corner of Su Mo's clothing, raising her little face to earnestly say, "Then will you stay here and accompany me?"
"Okay," Su Mo softly replied. Anyway, he still had something to discuss with Qian Daoliu.
Hearing this, Qian Renxue happily took her small wooden sword and ran back to the distance to continue training.
This time, her sword moves were even more powerful than before, as if she was eager to show off in front of Su Mo.
Su Mo looked at her figure with a smile on his lips, then turned serious and turned to Qian Daoliu, "Grandpa Qian, there is something I want to discuss with you."
Seeing his solemn expression, Qian Daoliu also put aside his casual posture and asked slightly surprised, "What is it?"
"I have already condensed the second Martial Soul core," Su Mo said softly.
"What! You can still condense a second Martial Soul core?" Qian Daoliu was slightly startled.
Su Mo nodded, and then detailed the two completely different paths of Yin-Yang Complement and concentric resonance to Qian Daoliu.
After finishing, Su Mo paused, "The process of the second Martial Soul core is even more perilous, especially the path of Yin-Yang Complement; a slight misstep and you will be beyond redemption. Therefore, I suggest choosing concentric resonance. Although it is not as powerful as Yin-Yang Complement, it is much safer."
Qian Daoliu nodded with a solemn expression, "This old man understands. I will arrange this matter, and as for how to choose, it's entirely up to them individually."
Afterward, Qian Daoliu and Su Mo chatted idly again, asking about Su Mo's experiences over the past year.
