Chen Muxuan hadn’t dared to sleep too deeply last night either.
Although the system had assured him there was a safe mode and that any sudden sneak attack would trigger an immediate alarm, he was still a little nervous inside.
After all, things weren’t exactly peaceful within the Spirit Hall.
The person he needed to be most wary of was this level ninety-nine Limit Douluo standing before him.
Fortunately, the man was fairly reasonable and hadn’t come disturbing him in the middle of the night.
Chen Muxuan didn’t want to be too flashy for the time being.
Moreover, the fact that he could bestow spirit souls upon others needed to be kept strictly confidential.
Otherwise, he would inevitably attract some covetous troublemakers.
For instance, the Finality Apostle spirit soul he had given to Bibi Dong yesterday.
Normally, people could only obtain a new spirit ring by hunting spirit beasts or absorbing spirit bones.
But with Chen Muxuan, it was different.
Although Bibi Dong was curious, she didn’t dare to ask, considering his special circumstances.
As for others, if they found out, they would certainly dig deeper.
So, in this world where the strong were respected, before he had fully mastered his abilities, Chen Muxuan planned to keep a low profile and maintain a cautious, steady approach to growth.
Of course, he still needed to show off when necessary, but only when the system presented options that required it.
Speaking of which, had Tang San been born at this point in time?
Had he already attracted the attention of the Asura God?
Forget it, he’d find some time to visit Holy Soul Village.
What he needed to do now was eat first, and then go check on that girl Qian Renxue.
She probably hadn’t grown up yet, so he could nurture her properly.
Don’t let her end up like some obsessed fangirl, wanting to throw herself at Tang San the moment she saw him.
To be honest, Chen Muxuan didn’t have much of a possessive desire for Bibi Dong or Qian Renxue.
He simply wanted to stir up more chaos in the situation.
Even if he couldn’t stop Tang San from becoming a god, it would still be fun to cause some trouble for him, the Sea God, and the Asura God.
With that thought in mind, Chen Muxuan was in no rush at all.
Oh, and he should also find some time to visit the forest and collect that rabbit, along with Da Ming and Er Ming.
That way, they wouldn’t end up sacrificing themselves to the protagonist and increasing his chances of becoming a god.
“Great供奉, where’s the cafeteria in your Spirit Hall?”
“Cafeteria?”
Chen Muxuan explained, “The place where you eat.
Don’t tell me you don’t have one.”
“We usually have servants attending to us.
As for others, I’m not too sure.
How about this, why don’t you come to my place?
I’ll have the servants prepare an extra portion,” Qian Daoliu scratched his head and extended an invitation.
Staring at the old man for a moment, Chen Muxuan let out a light sigh.
“Fine.
Oh, and that girl Qian Renxue, she lives with you, right?”
Hearing the man bring up his granddaughter, Qian Daoliu suddenly became alert and stared at the man before him in silence.
Chen Muxuan raised his head.
“Don’t panic.
This is a gift I have for her.
After Qian Renxue turns six, I plan to give this to her and become that girl’s teacher.
As her guardian, you don’t have any objections, do you?”
Within Qian Daoliu’s line of sight, a dazzling light shone from the handsome man’s hand.
That light was the Super Angel spirit soul, with wings numbering twelve, truly astonishing!
“Y-you, who exactly, are you?”
Qian Daoliu was so shocked he couldn’t even speak properly.
The spirit soul in his hand dissipated, and Chen Muxuan’s expression remained neutral.
“Just a passing Kamen Rider.
Remember that.”
“Uh…”
Qian Daoliu was a bit speechless.
“Then how should I address Your Excellency?”
“Di Qi.
‘Di’ as in emperor, ‘Qi’ as in knight.”
“Very well, Lord Di Qi, please follow me.”
Breakfast was a bowl of plain congee with some pickled vegetables.
As expected, the elderly lived a very nutritious life.
Chen Muxuan didn’t mind.
He usually didn’t have the habit of eating breakfast, but recently he had suddenly developed stomach issues.
After going to the hospital for a gastroscopy, the doctor told him to take good care of his stomach.
Especially his three meals, which needed to be eaten on time.
From that point on, Chen Muxuan gradually got used to eating breakfast.
Qian Daoliu asked cautiously, “Lord Di Qi, is the breakfast to your liking?
If you’d prefer something more substantial like meat and fish, I’ll have the servants prepare it right away.”
“There’s really no need.
Although it’s quite simple, I think it’s just fine.
Plain and ordinary is the truth,” Chen Muxuan declined the man’s kindness.
Qian Daoliu’s pupils contracted slightly as he murmured, “Plain and ordinary is the truth…
Plain and ordinary is the truth…”
Yes, he had spent his entire life competing with Tang Chen.
In the end, he still lost to that man.
It wasn’t until a few years ago, when he held his granddaughter in his arms, that he gradually returned to a simple life and began handing over the management of the Spirit Hall to Bibi Dong.
On one hand, it was to keep her in check.
On the other hand, it was because he no longer wanted to be entangled by worldly affairs.
He never expected this young man before him, at such an age, to see things more clearly than he did.
One could say, as expected of the man who could punch through a meteorite.
Actually, Qian Daoliu could do that too, but he would need to rely on spirit skills.
He had learned from Gui Mei and Juhua Guan that this young man hadn’t used any techniques at all.
He had just thrown a very ordinary punch and then stood in the sky completely unscathed.
It was as if punching through a meteorite was an everyday occurrence, which was truly astonishing.
“May I ask, does Your Excellency know something?” Qian Daoliu asked carefully.
Chen Muxuan slowly closed his eyes and spoke in a very calm tone.
“I know everything.
I can do anything.”
Qian Daoliu didn’t know what to say and turned his gaze to the white-haired girl beside him.
Miss Flame-Chaser simply nodded, as if affirming what Chen Muxuan had said.
With the backing of the Honkai God, Chen Muxuan was indeed all-knowing and all-powerful at this moment, but he himself didn’t dare to use that power freely.
This man was always very cautious, afraid of attracting unnecessary trouble.
Unlike those reckless transmigrators who thought they were invincible, this was perhaps exactly why the system had chosen him as its host.
No one would dislike a steady person.
Only fools would think such a person was just pretending to be aloof.
“Is Qian Renxue six yet?”
“Next year.
She’ll be six next year.”
“So she hasn’t awakened her spirit soul yet?”
“Correct.”
Chen Muxuan fell into deep thought.
He was considering how to arrange the next steps so that the Sea God and the Asura God would be thoroughly disgusted.
As for those sects and empires, Chen Muxuan scoffed at them.
They all acted so noble and high-minded, but everything was for their own benefit.
The Spirit Hall was different.
Regardless of one’s status or background, they would take people in, nurture them, and provide food, clothing, and shelter.
Compared to those sects and empires, the Spirit Hall was many times better.
Even if the Spirit Hall had its own selfish motives, they were genuinely doing practical work.
“Do you want to become a god?”
After a long pause, Chen Muxuan spoke, looking at Qian Daoliu.
Qian Daoliu was taken aback and waved his hand.
“I think I’ll pass.
At my age, I can’t handle that kind of ordeal anymore.
If becoming a god were really that easy, I would have ascended to the Divine Realm long ago instead of staying in the Spirit Hall to retire.”
He only wanted to nurture the Angel lineage now and see if that girl Qian Renxue had the aptitude for it.
Chen Muxuan nodded.
“I see.”
He had never been the type to force things on people.
Since Qian Daoliu had no such intention, there was no need to go out of his way.
For now, he should just go meet that little girl.
Chen Muxuan looked at Qian Daoliu.
“I’ll be Qian Renxue’s teacher.
For the next year, I’ll guide her studies.
No objections, right?
Of course, you’re welcome to observe if you’d like.”
If a strong expert was willing to personally instruct, Qian Daoliu was naturally more than happy.
His own strength wasn’t low, but if he was going to entrust her to an outsider…
Thinking of the Super Angel spirit soul the man had revealed, and for the glory of the Angel God to descend upon the earth once more, Qian Daoliu steeled his heart.
“I agree!”
