Shortly after Yu Xiaowei left, Liu Erlong and the others regained consciousness, and their faces clearly looked much better than before.
Seeing them awake, Yu Yuanzhen and the other four who were keeping them company quickly rushed over to check on their condition.
After hearing how Tang Hao had attacked them, Gu Rong, who had the most irritable temper, immediately rolled up his sleeves and cursed.
"Is that damn Clear Sky Sect planning to go to war with our two sects?"
"Who gave Tang Hao the face to dare attack the future pillars of our sects?!"
"Damn it, I'm so angry. If I see any of their disciples from the Haotian Sect, I'll skin them alive!"
Unlike the angry Gu Rong, Liu Erlong and the others lowered their heads in shame.
There were so many of them, yet they had all been captured by Tang Hao. If Tang Hao were still the Clear Sky Douluo, that would be understandable. But he was merely at the Soul Saint level.
They also knew Yu Xiaowei had rushed off to find someone to detoxify them for their safety.
Feeling moved, Liu Erlong, Oscar, and the others—who had been lazy in cultivating—developed a desire to gain power for the first time in their lives.
However, since only their external injuries had been treated and the internal poison had not yet been expelled, they still couldn't use their soul power. So they had to continue healing in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo had buried himself in his lab, analyzing the blood samples day and night.
But his progress was extremely slow.
The reason was that the levels of poisoning varied between individuals. Among them, Ning Rongrong showed the least signs of poisoning, while the healing-type soul master Jiangzhu was the most poisoned—even suffering seizures. Fortunately, Dugu Bo had mastered the use of the Ice and Fire Spring water to craft medicine to suppress the poison, or Jiangzhu might already be dead.
Jiangzhu, having narrowly escaped death, no longer dared to secretly extract Qian Daoliu's dagger again.
Still, due to the different types of poison, Dugu Bo's analysis was very slow.
Although Qian Daoliu's dagger could now suppress the poison, a prolonged delay could spell danger.
Just as everyone was hoping for Yu Xiaowei's return, an uninvited guest appeared at the gate.
"Where is Yu Xiaowei?"
Seeing the proud-looking beautiful girl seated in the family's meeting hall, Yu Yuanzhen couldn't help but twitch his eyelid.
Qian Renxue.
Why was this plague goddess here again?
And worst of all, she hadn't come alone—she brought Golden Crocodile Douluo with her.
Considering their current six-month weakened state, with Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi still recovering from injuries, and with only Gu Rong left to defend them, Yu Yuanzhen felt they were no match. He could only force a smile and say helplessly:
"He's out."
Qian Renxue frowned and said unhappily:
"Didn't he tell my grandfather to let me be his servant? So why did he run off when I came?"
"Hey, you old dragon, are you lying to me on purpose?"
Hearing Qian Renxue's displeasure, Yu Yuanzhen spread his hands helplessly.
"I wouldn't dare say such things, but Xiaowei's companions were attacked, so he went to find someone to treat their injuries."
"Oh? Is that so?"
This time Qian Renxue said no more. After rubbing her chin for a while, she smiled and said, "Prepare a room for me. I'll stay in your house and wait for Yu Xiaowei to come back."
"…"
Yu Yuanzhen was speechless. Was the Spirit Hall's eldest young lady taking their Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family too lightly?
However, after Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly, he quickly forced a smile and agreed.
Forget it. They had the power to be arrogant—and the Blue Lightning family couldn't afford to provoke them.
So, for the next two days, the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family often saw a very beautiful girl wandering about the compound.
She would investigate anything that caught her attention.
Yu Yuanzhen had already warned his family members early in the morning that this girl's identity was not simple. Whatever she wanted to do, they should try to accommodate her.
As a result, the family members could only seethe in silence and tolerate her bullying behavior.
At that moment, she was in Dugu Bo's private lab, intently watching him refine antidotes.
Normally, someone who was poisoned wouldn't be so carefree—but Qian Renxue acted as if she wasn't even worried.
This made Yu Yuanzhen and the others even more suspicious. Could it be that she wasn't poisoned at all and was just pretending?
"What are you doing?"
After watching all morning, Qian Renxue finally asked.
Dugu Bo glanced at her coldly, but for the sake of Golden Crocodile Douluo, he answered patiently:
"Making poison."
"Making poison? Is that the kind that poisoned me?"
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up. "Hey, teach me! It looks fun."
Dugu Bo immediately replied unhappily:
"No. You can't learn it."
"Why not? Just because I'm the Spirit Hall's princess doesn't mean you should discriminate against me. Otherwise, my Grandpa Crocodile might get mad and his hand might shake."
A threat.
A blatant threat.
Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. He wanted to slap Qian Renxue, but when he saw Golden Crocodile Douluo staring, he sighed.
"My poison skills require a poison-attributed spirit. Does your spirit have that?"
"Uh…"
That question stumped Qian Renxue.
Her Angel Spirit was not only non-poisonous—it was the natural enemy of all poisons.
After being disappointed, she pouted but didn't leave. She continued watching Dugu Bo mix medicine with great interest.
Dugu Bo had no choice but to continue working, enduring her presence like an annoying sticker that couldn't be slapped, scolded, or peeled off.
Inevitably, he made a few mistakes due to his bad mood, which irritated him even more.
During these few days in the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, Qian Renxue had a lot of fun.
Since she started spying in the Heaven Dou Empire at age nine, this was the first time in fifteen years that she could truly relax. No more scheming for Spirit Hall, no need to wear a mask.
She loved this kind of life—laughing whenever she wanted, bullying others freely, and not pretending anymore.
What about the poison?
At first, she was angry and upset. She wanted to kill Yu Xiaowei immediately—especially after Qian Daoliu brought news that Yu Xiaowei wanted her to be his servant in exchange for the antidote. At that moment, she seriously considered using Spirit Hall to destroy the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
But in two days, she realized one thing.
Yes, she was poisoned. Yes, Yu Xiaowei was using it to threaten her grandfather. But he would never dare actually kill her.
So she thought of a plan—to disgust Yu Xiaowei.
To harass the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
And to do it openly.
If Yu Xiaowei liked poisoning people so much, she'd torment his clan in return.
Let's see who breaks first.
Thus, she enthusiastically brought Golden Crocodile Douluo to their doorstep.
And over the past few days, the Blue Lightning clan members had been tortured.
Yu Yuanzhen could tolerate petty things, but Qian Renxue delaying Dugu Bo's antidote work was intolerable.
Just as he and Ning Fengzhi were preparing to find a way to drive her out, the guards came with news—Yu Xiaowei had returned.
He brought with him a lean old man.
The man had black hair, reddish skin, and bright eyes. He stood like a sharp weapon, exuding a strong aura from head to toe.
Upon seeing Yu Yuanzhen, Yu Xiaowei smiled and introduced him:
"Yang Wudi, Patriarch of the Breaking Clan. Uncle Yang has agreed to join our Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family."
This good news made Yu Yuanzhen smile instantly. For a moment, he even forgot his resentment toward Qian Renxue.
The Breaking Clan had originally been a subordinate family of the Clear Sky Sect.
They belonged to the extremist branch of soul masters.
After the Clear Sky Sect closed off, and the four elemental clans left, every major faction tried to recruit them.
The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family also reached out—but none of the four clans wanted to become followers of another big sect. After repeated failures, Yu Yuanzhen gave up.
Now, it felt like a pie had fallen from the sky.
Just as they were chatting, an unpleasant voice rang out.
"Yu Xiaowei, you're finally back. I thought you didn't dare come back."
"Qian Renxue? What are you doing here?"
Yu Xiaowei frowned, and his good mood vanished.
Qian Renxue replied casually:
"I came to see you. Didn't you want me as your servant? So here I am."
"…"
Just like Yu Yuanzhen earlier, Yu Xiaowei was speechless.
You came to be a servant—and brought Golden Crocodile Douluo with you?
Knowing there was nothing he could do to Qian Renxue now, Yu Xiaowei shook his head and said to Yu Yuanzhen:
"Uncle, please take Uncle Yang to meet Senior Dugu. I'll deal with this young lady."
"Sect Master Yang, this way please."
Yu Yuanzhen nodded and left with Yang Wudi.
Once everyone had gone, Yu Xiaowei waved at Qian Renxue.
"Come, let's talk."
In Yu Xiaowei's room, the two sat face to face.
Golden Crocodile Douluo, under Yu Xiaowei's firm demand, had to wait outside. Meanwhile, Qian Renxue opened her angel domain to ensure he couldn't hear.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was no longer the childish girl from before. She exuded a majestic aura.
Just like Bibi Dong interrogating someone, she rested her cheek on one hand and tapped the back of her chair with the other, speaking coldly:
"Tell me, what do you want from me?"
"Mind your tone. Your life is in my hands. You're here to be my servant, not my mother."
"Oh, really? Then kill me."
Qian Renxue's words made Yu Xiaowei choke.
Then it hit him—no wonder she was so arrogant.
Indeed, he didn't dare touch Qian Renxue right now, or Spirit Hall would kill him instantly.
Damn. The situation had become a weird closed loop.
He had threatened Qian Daoliu using Qian Renxue's life, tricked Bibi Dong into confusion, and now Qian Renxue was using her own life to turn the tables.
This feeling sucked.
Seeing Qian Renxue's calm face, Yu Xiaowei was silent for a while, then suddenly slapped the table and said:
"Tsk, okay, stop pretending. I'll lay it out. Actually, I never poisoned you. That's the truth."
"You think I'm stupid?"
Qian Renxue sneered at Yu Xiaowei.
With such a powerful leverage—enough to threaten her grandfather and Bibi Dong—how could he let go of that?
Yu Xiaowei grinned and spread his hands.
"See? We don't even have the most basic trust. So how can you believe anything I say?"
"Try me. Maybe I'll believe it?"
"Fine. Listen closely. Your mother killed your father and devoured his skin, bones, and soul. Now she wants to devour you. Believe it?"
"I don't believe it."
Qian Renxue's face was calm. Such outrageous nonsense—did Yu Xiaowei really think she was an idiot?
No, even an idiot wouldn't believe that.
Yu Xiaowei didn't waver and continued:
"Okay, second thing. The reason that happened is because your father forcibly separated your mother and her ex, raped her, then locked her in a secret room and tortured her for over a year until you were born. Do you believe this?"
"No, I don't believe it."
"Third thing. Your grandfather knew all about this because he spoiled your father. Do you believe this?"
"No. Impossible!"
Qian Renxue's expression finally changed.
What Yu Xiaowei said sounded ridiculous—but oddly enough, it matched some of the clues she'd discovered in Spirit Hall.
Just the idea that Bibi Dong wanted to devour her—she had sensed that greed.
If this was true, and her grandfather knew about it...
She didn't dare continue that thought, but she still stubbornly insisted:
"No sane person would believe you!"
"Well, it's hard to believe. You'll become the Angel God, your grandfather will sacrifice himself for you. You'll become a god, but there will be no more Angel Douluo. You—"
"You're talking nonsense! Impossible! Impossible! IMPOSSIBLE!"
Qian Renxue panicked and interrupted Yu Xiaowei before he could finish.
The Nine Angel Trials, the secret of the Angel Clan, the key to godhood—
How could Yu Xiaowei know such things?
She didn't realize that by reacting this way, she'd already started believing him.
"Alright, since you don't believe, I'll leave you with one last thing."
"Your mother has already begun the Rakshasa God Trial. Influenced by the Rakshasa's will, she's gone mad. She's determined to destroy your Spirit Hall. Whether you believe it or not, that's up to you."
"That's all I have to say. As for where my info came from, don't worry about it."
Yu Xiaowei crossed his arms, propped up his chin, and stared at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue, sitting across from him, was truly panicked.
Everything Yu Xiaowei said sounded sensational—but why did it all feel so true?
