Qian Daoliu understood after hearing this.
It seemed Dai Hao wanted to curry favor with him, or rather, win him over, by offering women.
He shook his head helplessly.
Just then, Zhenzhen walked in carrying a bucket.
Seeing Qian Daoliu holding her sister’s wrist, she clearly got the wrong idea.
But compared to Aiai’s shyness, Zhenzhen was much more composed.
She set down the bucket and said directly, “My Lord, do you want Aiai to bathe with you?
It’s fine, you can do whatever you want, My Lord, even if you include me, it doesn’t matter.”
As she spoke, Zhenzhen’s face also turned red.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and released Aiai’s wrist.
He said in a deep voice, “I don’t care what task Dai Hao gave you—whether it’s to seduce me or if you have other intentions.
You may serve me, but only regarding my daily needs—food, clothing, housing, and travel.
Do you understand?”
Having held a high position for many years, Qian Daoliu possessed an imposing manner even without anger.
Zhenzhen and Aiai were immediately silenced, trembling like cicadas in winter.
They lowered their heads, not daring to meet Qian Daoliu’s gaze.
Qian Daoliu snorted coldly and waved his hand.
“Zhenzhen, continue preparing the hot water.
As for Aiai, go outside and wait.”
Zhenzhen nodded quickly, poured the hot water into the bathtub, and then went out to continue fetching more hot water.
Aiai also obediently exited the room and closed the door.
Before long.
After the bathtub was filled with hot water, Zhenzhen pulled down the bath curtain, exited the room, and closed the door.
Qian Daoliu untied his belt, removed his clothes, and stepped into the bathtub.
The hot water covered his chest, dispelling the fatigue of the day.
He leaned against the edge of the bathtub, closed his eyes, and fell into deep thought.
To be honest, even he had to admit that Zhenzhen and Aiai were indeed very beautiful, definitely top-tier beauties.
And being twins with similar appearances, they could easily give a man a unique feeling.
Their Spirit’s function was also very tempting.
Although he was already a hundred years old, as a Limit Douluo, his body was countless times better than an ordinary person’s; if he wanted to do anything, there would certainly be no issues at all.
But ever since his Breakthrough to Titled Douluo and fathering Qian Xunji, he had dedicated his heart entirely to Cultivate.
For a very long time, he had not touched women and had long lost the need for such things.
Furthermore.
If he really had something happen with Zhenzhen and Aiai tonight.
It would actually be equivalent to implicitly owing Dai Hao a favor.
He was someone who always repaid debts of gratitude and vengeance.
It would be very difficult to handle later on.
Qian Daoliu opened his eyes, looked at the ceiling, and sighed slightly.
However, after pondering for a while.
Qian Daoliu soon felt that perhaps finding a woman was necessary after all.
After all, Martial Soul Hall had been destroyed, and as the Angel Lineage that had controlled Martial Soul Hall for generations, even if they hadn’t been wiped out along with it, there probably weren’t many descendants left in this current era.
Those who could inherit the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul were likely even fewer.
He was the Clan Chief of the Angel Lineage and had the obligation to pass on the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Legacy.
Finding a woman to have children with was the only way.
Of course, that was a matter for later.
Qian Daoliu believed there were two things that needed priority resolution now.
The first was to understand the truth behind the destruction of Martial Soul Hall.
The second was to rebuild Martial Soul Hall.
Finding a woman could only be ranked behind those for now.
Besides, perhaps he might encounter descendants of the Angel Lineage later; he didn’t necessarily need to do it himself.
Anyway, there was no rush; he would take it slowly.
Qian Daoliu stood up from the bathtub, dried his body, and changed into clean clothes.
He walked to the window and pushed it open.
The night breeze blew in, carrying a hint of chill.
…
Meanwhile.
In a secret room within the White Tiger Dukes Mansion.
Dai Hao, Zhu Nuo, and Dai Tian were sitting around a stone table, remaining silent.
In the secret room, only a few spirit tools on the walls emitted a faint light, and the atmosphere was somewhat oppressive.
They seemed to be waiting for something.
Soon, Dai Hao’s communication spirit tool rang.
He picked it up, read the text on it carefully, and couldn’t help but sigh.
Zhu Nuo asked, “What happened?”
Dai Tian frowned, “Did Zhenzhen and Aiai not succeed?”
Dai Hao shook his head and put down the communication spirit tool.
“They didn’t.”
“Qian Daoliu has extremely high self-control.
Not only did he refuse their service, but he also guessed that I was the one behind it.”
Zhu Nuo frowned slightly and muttered in a low voice.
“That shouldn’t be.
Zhenzhen and Aiai are top-tier resources that I carefully selected and personally trained.
Regardless of figure or appearance, they are top-notch, and they even possess the Cauldron Spirit that all men dream of.”
“Back then, even the Heavenly Fiend Douluo hinted that he wanted them, and I only managed to brush him off with great difficulty.
How could Qian Daoliu resist the temptation?”
Dai Tian was somewhat worried.
“His attitude is so firm.
Cousin, might we have offended him?
He is a Titled Douluo, and perhaps even stronger than you.
If he gets unhappy because of this…”
Dai Tian didn’t continue, but his meaning was already very clear.
Dai Hao frowned and muttered to himself, “He doesn’t like women, and he can even refuse the temptation of easily improving his strength.
Is he really a Saint?”
Zhu Nuo offered a suggestion.
“If that’s the case, why don’t we try to win him over with money?”
Before Dai Hao could speak, Dai Tian slowly shook his head.
“Qian Daoliu is a Titled Douluo; obtaining money is easy for him.
How much could we possibly offer to win him over?”
Zhu Nuo clicked her tongue, “Then what should we do?”
Dai Hao couldn’t think of a better way for the moment.
He sighed and said, “Let nature take its course from here on.
If I gain it, it is my luck; if I lose it, it is my fate.
Such things cannot be forced.
For this period, let’s just act as if nothing happened.”
Hearing this, a flash of unwillingness crossed Zhu Nuo and Dai Tian’s eyes, but they knew that was indeed all they could do.
…
Another half a month passed.
Qian Daoliu repeated reading, eating, and sleeping every day.
He would enter the Library as soon as the sky brightened in the morning.
He wouldn’t come out until it was dark at night.
Zhenzhen and Aiai delivered meals to him on time every day and served him, but they never dared to have any overstepping actions again.
Qian Daoliu’s attitude toward them remained indifferent; neither close nor distant.
Finally, on this day.
Qian Daoliu finished reading all the books stored in the Library.
He stood in front of the last row of bookshelves, returned the book in his hand to its original place, and let out a long sigh.
Unfortunately, apart from gaining a deeper understanding of the current era, he still hadn’t found the information he wanted.
Regarding the truth behind the destruction of Martial Soul Hall, he had still gained nothing.
Qian Daoliu felt it was necessary to go somewhere else.
He walked out of the Library.
He glanced at the sky.
It was just after noon, and the sun was bright.
…
Qian Daoliu found Dai Hao and Zhu Nuo, who had just finished their lunch.
The two were sitting in a gazebo chatting, with several servants standing nearby.
Seeing him arrive, Dai Hao was full of enthusiasm.
“Brother Qian, you’re a bit early today.
Are you done reading?”
Qian Daoliu shook his head, “I have finished reading everything, but I didn’t find the information I wanted.
So I would like to ask you, where else can I find more comprehensive and extensive classics?”
Hearing this, Dai Hao understood that Qian Daoliu was going to leave.
He immediately gave a look to Zhu Nuo.
Zhu Nuo understood and left with the servants.
Dai Hao made a gesture of invitation, “Brother Qian, please sit and let’s talk in detail.”
Qian Daoliu acknowledged with a hum and sat opposite Dai Hao.
Dai Hao pondered for a moment and said, “Since Brother Qian couldn’t find the information you wanted here with me, then looking at the entire continent, there are probably only five places where you might be able to find the information you are looking for.”
