Liam's actions instantly stunned the mother and daughter duo.
Because they were preoccupied with the parting, no one had been thinking about the nature of their relationships. Liam's parting kiss and hug now directly pulled everyone's attention back to it.
Dugu Yan and the others, along with Gu Yuena and her group, all looked at Bibi Dong with strange expressions, and then couldn't help but glance at Qian Renxue.
It was still that same question:
Sisters.
Who is the elder sister, and who is the younger sister?
Bibi Dong's face was filled with awkwardness as she turned her head to the side, pretending she hadn't seen anything.
Qian Renxue's face was flushed red; she was so embarrassed she wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Outrageous!
Liam, you bastard!
The mother and daughter were both silently cursing Liam in their hearts.
Liam held her for a while, gently patted Qian Renxue's back, then released her and looked toward Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, and Ning Rongrong, saying:
"Your turn."
Hu Liena's face turned slightly red. She glanced at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue before walking into Liam's embrace and giving him a light kiss on the cheek.
Dugu Yan and Ning Rongrong were about to step closer but hesitated and stopped, letting Hu Liena say her goodbyes to Liam first.
The two thought to themselves: We didn't come at the right time.
Liam laughed, as if he had guessed their thoughts, and said to Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan:
"You've come at exactly the right time."
As he spoke, he spread his arms wide.
"Pfft."
Ning Rongrong and the other suddenly burst into laughter, stepping forward together to dive into Liam's wide embrace on either side of Hu Liena, each planting a kiss on one of Liam's cheeks.
Well then.
Watching this scene, the expressions of Gu Yuena's group of four became somewhat complicated.
Wait, what?
This family is a bit too... something.
Exactly the right time?
A short while later.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling rose as the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent flew over.
Gu Yuena and her group looked up, surprise showing in their eyes.
"A Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent?"
"It actually grew this large and is so attuned to human nature?"
Zi Ji and Bi Ji couldn't help but glance at Gu Yuena, a bit of confusion in their hearts.
This Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent actually didn't show the fear and respect toward their Lord that a normal Soul Beast would?
Liam said with a smile, "My Wangcai has a great appetite; he eats everything with gusto!"
The Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent flicked its tongue in response.
Gu Yuena hesitated for a moment and asked, "Why do I feel like this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent isn't that afraid of me?"
Liam laughed, "My Wangcai bites everyone except me. Why?"
"Because I'm the one who raised him!"
Gu Yuena and the other three listened with looks of bewilderment.
Liam thought for a moment and explained further, "The ones afraid of you are wild Soul Beasts. A Soul Beast with a master will naturally listen to its master more."
Gu Yuena shook her head, still not quite understanding.
Liam didn't explain further. If this Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent were just a Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, it would naturally be terrified of Gu Yuena.
But it was more than that, because the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent had eaten an Enlightenment Spirit Pill rewarded by the System.
To put it simply.
On the Douluo Continent, you call him Wangcai and he won't mind. But if you were in a world of immortal cultivation and gave him a few hundred years, you'd have to address him as Golden Core Old Ancestor.
"Little Xue, we're leaving."
Liam waved to Qian Renxue and the others, then flew onto the back of the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, sitting behind Zhu Zhuqing and hugging her. Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue and followed him up.
Gu Yuena also flew up. Ah Yin looked at Bi Ji with some difficulty, and Bi Ji, understanding her meaning, picked her up as she flew.
Qian Renxue and the others watched quietly as Liam and the group flew off on the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent, until it flew higher and disappeared into the horizon.
"Sigh."
Qian Renxue sighed softly and looked at Hu Liena, saying, "Nana, help me back so I can sleep a bit longer!"
"Oh, okay!"
Hu Liena also had a strange look in her eyes now. Once Bibi Dong left, she wasn't so shy anymore.
"Little Xue, confess honestly."
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan also looked at Qian Renxue together.
Qian Renxue said with a bewildered face:
"Con... confess what?"
Ning Rongrong said with a mischievous grin, "Confess how you managed to enchant Brother Su Chen to such an extent that he wore you out like this."
Dugu Yan also said with a straight face:
"I bet Sister Xue definitely has some secret technique; otherwise, how could he be so vigorous?"
Hu Liena looked at Qian Renxue with a half-smile. Who would have thought!
You were a dark horse.
Qian Renxue's face was completely flushed. These people were so wicked, starting to tease her as soon as Liam left.
Liam, come back and teach them a lesson.
It was Qian Renxue's first time practicing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, so she was still very shy and couldn't withstand the teasing of the three of them.
Seeing that Qian Renxue remained silent, Hu Liena pretended to be unhappy and said:
"Hmph!"
"Little Xue, you've changed. You're so charming yet you won't even tell us about it."
Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan both nodded with knowing smiles.
"I... what charm do I have?"
"Hmph!"
Qian Renxue's face was bright red, and she snapped back irritably, "It's all your fault. If there's any charm, it's yours. If I hadn't turned into you,
how could I have ended up like this?"
What?
Hu Liena and the other two were instantly stunned.
What did Qian Renxue just say? She turned into—Oh my God!!!
They had only wanted to tease and banter with Qian Renxue, but who would have thought! They actually blew the lid off such a huge secret.
Hu Liena grabbed Qian Renxue and asked, "Is what you just said true?"
Qian Renxue looked at the three of them, lowered her head with a red face.
So annoying.
How am I supposed to say this out loud?
Ning Rongrong pulled on Hu Liena and said, "Sister Nana, I have a bold idea."
Dugu Yan followed up, saying:
"Me too!"
The two looked at each other and said in unison, "My idea is to Cultivate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Liam alongside Sister Little Xue."
After finishing together, Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan gave each other a look of admiration. As expected of sisters—great minds think alike!
Hu Liena also said with a look of expectation:
"This bold idea coincides with mine. When Liam comes back, Little Xue, let's do a sweet duo queue together."
"What!"
Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded.
Wait, what?
Can you three be a little more normal? Even though we are all sisters and one family, how can you say such things out loud?
This is so embarrassing!
Ning Rongrong touched her flushed little face and muttered to herself:
"I really want Sister Xue to turn into me and Cultivate the Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Brother Su Chen, because then I could see for myself
what I look like when Cultivating the Martial Soul Fusion Skill."
Hearing this, Dugu Yan and Hu Liena looked at Ning Rongrong with admiration in their eyes.
Bold!
This idea is truly bold!
Qian Renxue was also feeling numb. In this family, she often felt out of place because she wasn't perverted enough.
On the back of the Phoenix-Tailed Crested Serpent.
Liam was "driving," and his mood was quite good, but he still missed Qian Renxue in his heart. Her divine skill had only been developed a tiny bit, just the tip of the iceberg!
At the same time, Liam felt some regret. Why had he only eaten the Little Angel now? He should have eaten her first, before anyone else.
