“However, under specific conditions, the two can be interchanged.
In most cases, a teacher remains a teacher, and very rarely can they become a husband.
But a husband is much better than a teacher.
During study, you should definitely show respect.
But when you’re being playful and acting spoiled, you’ll be doted on.
That’s what a husband is.
With that explanation, you should understand now, right?” Miss Flame-Chaser squinted her eyes.
Qian Renxue nodded firmly.
“I understand!
I want a husband!”
Chen Muxuan covered his face.
Qian Daoliu held his forehead.
Bibi Dong felt a tightness in her chest.
This white-haired girl was only making things more confusing, and there was no bringing it back now.
Qian Daoliu cleared his throat.
“Xiao Xue, don’t be rude!
Show respect to your teacher and don’t use other forms of address!”
Seeing that her grandfather was showing signs of getting angry, the clever little girl had no choice but to back down.
“Oh, I understand…”
Even though Qian Renxue was only five years old, she still knew how to read the room.
She didn’t want to get scolded; she wanted to be a good child.
As for this big brother before her, Qian Renxue still held a lot of fondness for him.
Perhaps it was because he was more approachable and seemed easy to talk to.
As for that white-haired big sister, she felt like she was full of mischief.
In any case, Qian Renxue was still very happy that her grandfather had found someone to keep her company.
Trapped inside the Spirit Hall, unable to go anywhere except the Worship Hall, the little one had long been bored to death.
If this continued, she might really develop depression.
The key point was that Qian Daoliu couldn’t always be with Qian Renxue.
This period of emptiness was quite unbearable for the little girl, making her yearn more and more for the outside world.
“Ah, children say the darndest things.
I hope the two of you won’t take it to heart,” Qian Daoliu said, looking at Chen Muxuan and the Flame-Chaser Herrscher.
Chen Muxuan waved his hand.
“It’s fine.
I don’t mind.
Xiao Xue, from now on, we’ll have class in the mornings.
If you’re serious, I’ll take you out to play in the afternoons.
How does that sound?”
Based on the clues from the original story, Qian Renxue’s identity had been deliberately hidden.
So, in the early stages, besides Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and a few servants and guards, basically no one knew that this little girl was the child of the Spirit Hall’s Pope.
She had probably been trapped here for quite a few years, hadn’t she?
Like a caged bird, longing for the sky above her head.
For Chen Muxuan, none of this was an issue.
Hearing that she could go out and play, Qian Renxue’s eyes lit up, and she tugged at Chen Muxuan’s sleeve.
“Really?
Teacher, you’re not lying to me, are you?”
“I would never lie to you.
A gentleman’s word is his bond,” Chen Muxuan promised with a smile.
“Your Excellency, this…
this is somewhat inappropriate.”
Qian Daoliu frowned slightly.
“If people find out about Xiao Xue’s existence, then…”
Chen Muxuan picked up the little girl and stood up.
“Hey, I know what I’m doing.
Don’t worry.
With me guiding her, Xiao Xue’s talent won’t go to waste.
Besides, she should go out and see the world.
What’s the point of staying cooped up here?
Raising a child isn’t just about giving them food and drink.
You also need to focus on their physical and mental growth.
The final step to becoming a god tests one’s mental fortitude.
I’m sure you don’t want this child to fail at the last stage, do you?”
These words moved Qian Daoliu somewhat.
He understood that Chen Muxuan’s words were not without reason, but he still couldn’t help feeling worried.
As for Bibi Dong, not far away, she also made a decision in her heart after hearing these words.
She wanted to intervene in Qian Renxue’s growth and no longer wanted to be an insignificant “outsider.”
In her previous life, she had given all the love she should have given to her daughter to Hu Liena, thus constantly neglecting Qian Renxue.
Since fate had chosen to give her a second chance, she definitely couldn’t stand by idly again.
Even if she had endured an unspeakable past, Qian Renxue was still her own child.
That was an inescapable fact.
In the Douluo Continent, the way for spirit masters to level up was simply through meditation and practical combat to increase their strength.
When one’s spirit power reached a multiple of ten, they needed to hunt spirit beasts for spirit rings.
After successfully absorbing the spirit ring, they could continue cultivating their spirit power.
Then, the process repeated: continuing to meditate or engage in combat to raise spirit power.
There was also one more thing: every time a spirit ring was absorbed, it would raise one’s level by at least one.
Qian Renxue was only five now, with less than a year until her spirit soul awakening.
She believed that her grandfather Qian Daoliu had already taught her these things, but Chen Muxuan still needed to teach her other things.
Those were experiences that no one else could impart, and perhaps even knowledge of a higher order.
Ten minutes later, the class officially began.
“Actually, in this world, besides the Douluo Continent, there’s another continent,” Chen Muxuan began to introduce.
Hearing this, besides the white-haired girl, the other three were all stunned.
Qian Renxue raised her little hand.
“Teacher, what’s the other continent called?”
Chen Muxuan replied expressionlessly, “I forgot.”
He really wasn’t deliberately being difficult; he had genuinely forgotten.
He hadn’t even read many chapters of the original story, so could one really expect him to remember everything?
Dream on!
Qian Renxue pouted in dissatisfaction.
“Teacher, you didn’t just make that up, did you?”
Chen Muxuan was speechless.
He was actually being questioned by a little girl.
Forget it, he couldn’t be bothered to argue.
The morning’s lessons passed quickly.
“Lord Di Qi, I’d like to…”
Just as Qian Daoliu was about to speak, Chen Muxuan immediately stopped him.
“I know what you want to ask, but I’m not lying.
The name of the other continent, I really did forget.
Besides, it’s still very far from the Douluo Continent.
The only thing I can say for sure is that the overall strength of that continent is quite weak.
You can rest assured on that.”
“Alright…”
Qian Daoliu asked cautiously, “About Xiao Xue’s afternoon arrangements…”
Chen Muxuan glanced at him.
“I told you, I’ll take her out to broaden her horizons.
You don’t need to worry about safety.
Since I can help Bibi Dong become a Limit Douluo in such a short time, I naturally have ways to protect Qian Renxue.
If you’re still uneasy, I’ll say it again: follow along.”
“With Lord Di Qi saying that, this old man has nothing to fear, hahahaha!” Qian Daoliu laughed heartily.
He had also thought it through carefully.
His granddaughter really did need to get out and about.
Staying cooped up in the Worship Hall all day was no good.
If Qian Renxue truly could become a god, then focusing on mental cultivation was indeed a top priority.
He let the white-haired girl coax Qian Renxue into her afternoon nap.
It wasn’t until three o’clock in the afternoon that the group gathered together.
“Flame-Chaser, you hold Xiao Xue tightly.
Got it?” Chen Muxuan instructed.
The white-haired girl nodded to show she understood.
As for Qian Renxue, she looked at the two of them with eager eyes, not quite understanding what they were saying.
Chen Muxuan, dressed in casual clothes, closed his eyes and slowly activated his spirit soul.
After a few seconds, a glimmering Herrscher core appeared in his hand.
Yes, it was the Core of Reason.
This core had successfully drained the lives of Joyce and Welt Yang.
Even for the third-generation Bronya, using it came with a terrifying degree of corrosion.
One could say it was paid for with their lives.
One could say, the Herrscher core was the bond that strangled generation after generation.
But in Chen Muxuan’s hands, it was a different story.
His spirit soul was the Finality Herrscher, so he had no fear of the influence of other cores.
Using his own understanding, a Horizon (motorcycle) began to materialize before him.
