Compared to Bibi Dong in the Sky Screen timeline, her current situation was countlessly times better.
Although under house arrest, she at least lived in luxury with servants catering to her every need.
However, the two maidservants who waited on her refused to talk much with her.
Qian Renxue... had not come either.
Sitting in the courtyard, basking in the warm sunshine, Bibi Dong slowly drifted off to sleep.
She dreamt, dreaming of Qian Renxue's childhood.
Although full of resentment back then, she could still move around at Qian Xunji's side.
Back then, Qian Xunji held Qian Renxue as they played in the garden, while she watched with a gloomy expression.
"Was I really wrong?"
Bibi Dong woke up and spoke aloud.
The two maidservants offered no response. She muttered to herself again, "But Teacher was also at fault."
He shouldn't have used such methods.
Bibi Dong looked up at the Sky Screen again, thinking of her counterpart's fate in the Sky Screen timeline.
If, back then, Teacher had crippled her as he did in the Sky Screen...
What would have become of her?
No, she had merely been temporarily blinded and made a tiny mistake.
Teacher shouldn't have treated her like that...
Bibi Dong shook her head, muttering something under her breath.
Listening to her self-mutterings, the two maidservants imperceptibly stepped a few paces further away from her.
...Sky Screen Timeline...
Shui Bing'er snuggled in Qian Xunji's embrace: "Your Excellency, I have to leave."
The one-year mark had arrived; she didn't want to leave.
But the spatiotemporal passage would take her away.
"Go on. After returning, act prudently.
If you go out leveling up, you can go to Spirit Hall and ask a few Titled Douluo for protection."
Qian Xunji instructed, gently pinching Shui Bing'er's cheek: "Don't cry. In the future, we might meet again."
"Your Excellency, goodbye."
With reddened eyes, full of reluctance to part, Shui Bing'er lightly kissed the corner of Qian Xunji's lips: "Your Excellency, I love you."
The Little girl suddenly shouted, then turned and vanished into the spatiotemporal passage.
Qian Xunji was momentarily dazed; this girl...
Whether it was Ye Qingxian, Ah Yin, or Bo Saixi, they only said such things when begging for mercy.
【Temporary Nurturing Target Shui Bing'er Reward Settlement.】
【Congratulations Host on obtaining: "Carefree Wind Riding", 100,000-year Eye of Destiny External Soul Bone.】
"Carefree Wind Riding?"
Qian Xunji looked surprised; this cultivation technique was quite special.
Speaking purely of this "Carefree Wind Riding", it might not be very famous.
But speaking of the "Northern Darkness Divine Art", "Lesser Formless Skill", and "Eight Desolations Six Harmonies Supreme Art", those were immensely famous.
And these three cultivation techniques all originated from "Carefree Wind Riding".
This was a Martial Arts near to godhood, even more powerful and perfect than the Mingyu Technique.
Aside from this, the Eye of Destiny reward was also beyond Qian Xunji's expectations.
A 100,000-year Soul Bone, even an External Soul Bone, wasn't something Qian Xunji particularly cared about.
But this External Soul Bone was the Eye of Destiny.
That was truly extraordinary.
Although, for Qian Xunji at this moment, the Eye of Destiny was merely the icing on the cake.
But in the entire Douluo Continent, there really wasn't much that could be icing on the cake for him.
Furthermore, what the System provided vs. what dropped from a Soul Beast were definitely not on the same level.
If the System said it was the Eye of Destiny, it would certainly live up to its name.
Rather than something that merely touched upon it superficially.
Another two years passed, and Ye Lingling finally got her wish, bearing Qian Xunji a son.
Ah Yin did not get pregnant again, concentrating on taking care of little Wushang.
Instead, it was Bo Saixi who shyly gave birth to a daughter for Qian Xunji.
Ye Lingling's son was named Qian Wuyou, while Bo Saixi's daughter was named Qian Ruoshui.
At this point, all of Qian Xunji's nurturing tasks had bound their targets.
During these two years, spatiotemporal intersections still occurred occasionally, but they were very brief, and those chosen by the Sky Screen were minor figures.
Some of them chose to appear near Qian Xunji, seeking guidance.
Others chose to appear elsewhere, unknown what changes they might cause.
After all, those were people from the future.
But it didn't matter; no matter how much they stirred things up, they would only affect a small fraction of people.
In the face of absolute martial force, everything was illusionary.
...Original Work Timeline...
Qian Renxue had made a breakthrough to Level 99 half a year ago, only one final step away from becoming a god.
With her current foundation, she could become a god whenever she wished.
However, she no longer wanted to become a god.
Because the price of her becoming a god was Qian Daoliu's sacrifice.
She was unwilling.
"Little Xue, your grandfather really doesn't want to live anymore."
Qian Daoliu had pleaded with Qian Renxue more than once to hurry up and begin the final transformation.
He really couldn't go on living.
He watched with his own eyes as his Xixi was taken by that little brat!
He watched with his own eyes as his white moonlight bore him a grandson!
He had even secretly snuck off to Sea God Island once, only to discover Bo Saixi holding a child with golden-blue hair.
That child bore an eighty percent resemblance to Qian Xunji when he was young.
Noticing his appearance, Bo Saixi was also very uncomfortable.
After all, they were originally of the same generation, yet now one was the father-in-law, one was the daughter-in-law, and there was even a grandson.
Of course, Bo Saixi didn't give Qian Daoliu a good look either; she certainly didn't acknowledge Qian Daoliu as her father-in-law.
Nor was the son she bore a child of this timeline's Qian Xunji.
"Grandpa, wait a bit longer. I've already proclaimed to the world that if anyone is chosen by the Sky Screen...
...they should head to Sea God Island to seek Father's help.
Father will definitely have a way to make it so you don't have to sacrifice yourself."
Qian Renxue truly didn't want her grandfather to die, otherwise, in this timeline, she...
Well, she still had a little sister.
Shui Bing'er was now already a Level 97 Super Douluo, and she had borne Qian Xunji a daughter named Qian Ling'er.
Little Ling'er was right in Spirit Hall, now able to run all about, speaking clearly, bright and clever, carved like fine jade—she would definitely be a great beauty in the future.
Still, Qian Renxue did not want her grandfather to die.
"Little Xue, you don't understand. Your grandfather really doesn't want to live anymore."
Qian Daoliu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Especially since that Old fellow Golden Crocodile would pick at his wounds from time to time.
The main point was, after that old fellow consumed the Immortal Herb, he had also achieved a breakthrough to Level 99.
Beating him up was no longer as easy as before.
Qian Daoliu felt that the entire world was filled with malice towards him.
Slaughter City.
Tang San had already won a hundred battles.
But he didn't rush to leave, instead getting mixed up with the King of Slaughter.
"Hehehehe, Tang San, you are very impressive. Your System Panel is even better than those women's."
The King of Slaughter laughed evilly, recklessly venting the violent malice in his heart upon Tang San.
But right at the moment he reached his Peak, the Eight Spider Lances pierced through his heart and the center of his forehead.
The devouring power of the Dark Blue Silver Emperor and the Eight Spider Lances was driven to the extreme.
The King of Slaughter stared wide-eyed at Tang San.
"You!"
"Hmph, old fellow, did you really think you got my ass for free?
Everyone who has enjoyed me must die!"
Tang San's smile was nearly morbid, but the changes occurring on the King of Slaughter left him shocked, followed by wild, ecstatic laughter.
"Hahahahaha, Heaven favors me!!!
My Tang Sect shall rise!!!"
