Douluo Continent: The Golden List is Revealed, and the Holy Spirit Puni Subdues Evil Spirits

Chapter 18 Qian Daoliu: Welcome Home, Xiao Tian

Lin Tian looked down at Qian Renxue in his arms, a gentle smile on his face.

He gently patted Qian Renxue on the back and teased her.

"You're so old now, but you still like to cling to me like you did when you were little. It's not good if word gets out."

Qian Renxue, however, did not care at all.

She buried her head in Lin Tian's chest, let out a soft hum, and spoke with a hint of coquetry in her voice.

"Xiaoxue doesn't care what others say, I will only act like this in front of Brother Lin Tian."

Looking back on every little thing from childhood to adulthood, Qian Renxue's heart is filled with warmth.

From childhood to adulthood, besides her grandfather, only her brother Lin Tian has always been with her and would take her to play many interesting things!

So in my heart, besides my grandfather, my brother Lin Tian is the most important person!

She looked up, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"Also, Xiaoxue has been waiting for you for twenty-three years, and Grandpa has been waiting for you to come back too!"

"Shall we go back together?"

"Grandpa already knows he was wrong!"

"He said that as long as you come back, the Three Palaces will be under your command!"

Lin Tian gently lifted his fingertips and steadily placed Qian Renxue in his arms.

"Xiaoxue, my departure has nothing to do with Master!"

"I understand his situation back then."

He gazed into Qian Renxue's clear eyes, a complex feeling passing through his heart.

He did indeed have the idea of ​​killing Bibi Dong back then.

But Qian Daoliu chose to stand with Bibi Dong.

He understood perfectly well that Qian Daoliu didn't want his granddaughter to end up without parents.

Qian Renxue secretly clenched the hem of her skirt with her hands hanging at her sides, her eyes filled with anticipation.

"So, is Brother Lin Tian going back to the Spirit Hall?"

"The Spirit Hall needs you, Grandpa needs you, everyone needs you..."

"I need you too."

When she spoke the last few words, her voice was barely audible.

Her cheeks flushed crimson instantly, and even the tips of her ears turned a faint pink.

Lin Tian couldn't help but chuckle at her shy appearance and gently rubbed the top of her head with his fingertips.

"Xiaoxue has grown into a young lady now, and she's even getting shy."

"Stop talking... Let's go back."

Qian Renxue lowered her head even further, her ear tips so hot they seemed to drip water.

She reached out and gently tugged at Lin Tian's sleeve.

The warm touch from her fingertips made her heart beat even faster.

Lin Tian nodded in agreement, and the two embarked on their journey home side by side.

The mountain path was quiet, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing through the woods.

After hesitating for a long time, Qian Renxue finally asked the question that had been lingering in her mind.

"Brother Lin Tian, ​​when you go back this time, will you take action against Bibi Dong?"

Lin Tian glanced at her sideways; the girl's face was full of trepidation in the sunset.

He didn't answer immediately, but just kept walking forward.

It wasn't that he didn't want to speak, but that he couldn't bear to!

He didn't want to disturb Xiaoxue's peace of mind at this moment.

But the answer had already taken root in his heart!

Bibi Dong had once harbored murderous intentions towards him, but now he has made a powerful comeback.

Given that woman's personality, she will definitely make another move.

Even if they lie low for now, it's just waiting for the right opportunity.

He would never leave behind a knife that could be used against him at any time.

Qian Renxue pursed her reddened lips, her fingertips turning slightly white.

She understood the silence all too well; a thin mist instantly welled up in her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

The hand gripping Lin Tian's sleeve tightened even more.

By the time the two returned to Wuhun City, it was already late at night.

The news of Lin Tian's return had already spread throughout the city like wildfire.

Countless Soul Masters spontaneously poured into the streets, and the sound of gongs and drums was deafening.

The golden and red fragments from the exploding firecrackers illuminated the night sky, and even the evening breeze carried a joyful atmosphere. The guiding lights on the city wall lit up one after another, illuminating the entire street as if it were daytime.

"It's Lord Lin Tian! He's really back! The Spirit Hall is saved!"

"I thought he had been saving up for a long time... I didn't expect he was holding back a big move. Even Tang San is no match for Lin Tian."

"Comparing Tang San to Lin Tian? Tang San is nothing!"

"Look, how well-matched the young master and Lord Lin Tian are standing together! They're a match made in heaven!"

"Absolutely! They're a perfect match, and their child will definitely be a top genius!"

The whispers drifted into Qian Renxue's ears on the evening breeze.

Her cheeks flushed bright red again.

For some reason, besides feeling shy, I also felt a secret excitement.

She secretly glanced at Lin Tian, ​​but his expression remained calm, his gaze fixed on the sacrificial hall in front of him, without the slightest ripple.

That sweet feeling was quickly replaced by disappointment, and the light in his eyes dimmed a little.

Soon, the two arrived outside the offering hall, where the six chief priests were already waiting.

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward first and hooked his arm around Lin Tian's shoulder.

The force he used carried the affection of an elder, and his aged face was full of satisfaction.

"Good lad, your strength has improved so much in twenty-three years!"

The Lion Douluo also stepped forward, his tone tinged with reproach, yet unable to conceal his concern.

“You silly child, you left without even saying goodbye to us uncles. We’ve talked about you a lot over the years, and the Grand Master often stood outside the hall waiting for you to come back.”

"I'm sorry, I left in a hurry back then and didn't have time to say goodbye."

Lin Tian smiled and apologized, his gaze sweeping over the six elders, his eyes full of respect.

The six great deities provided him with a lot of help when he was young.

They all deserve his respect!
Golden Crocodile Douluo immediately nudged Lion Douluo with his elbow and whispered.

"Fourth brother, why are you blaming Xiaotian? It's good that he's back!"

Lion Douluo laughed heartily, patted his mouth, and quickly waved his hand.

"It was my mistake, it was my mistake!"

"Go in quickly, Xiao Tian, ​​the Grand Elder has been waiting for you inside for a long time."

Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped aside to make way.

Lin Tian nodded and entered with Qian Renxue.

The light inside the hall was soft, and Qian Daoliu's figure stood in front of the window, surrounded by a faint golden halo.

But that silhouette carried an indescribable sense of loneliness, as if it had been waiting there for a very long time.

Only when he turned around and saw Lin Tian did a smile finally bloom on his usually indifferent face.

That smile dispelled all the loneliness, and her voice remained as gentle as ever.

"Welcome home, Xiao Tian."

-

Meanwhile, outside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong stood under the corridor, gazing at the bustling scene of Wuhun City. Her fingertips unconsciously caressed the gem on the Pope's scepter, her eyes filled with icy coldness.

She knew, of course, that Lin Tian had returned.

She could clearly sense that familiar aura, even though it was halfway across Wuhun City.

Hu Liena walked briskly over, her pink skirt fluttering in the wind, her tone filled with joy.

"Teacher, Brother Lin Tian is back. Should we go see him? I haven't seen him in so long."

Bibi Dong smiled faintly.

"Nana, you go ahead. I have matters to attend to at the Papal Palace, so I won't go."

Although Hu Liena had doubts, she didn't ask any further questions, assuming that the teacher was genuinely busy.

Then, she turned and ran towards the direction of the offering hall.

As soon as her figure disappeared through the doorway, Bibi Dong's smile vanished instantly, and her gaze turned toward the direction of the Hall of Worship, her eyes revealing a murderous intent.

"Lin Tian, ​​you'd better sleep with your eyes open tonight, or you won't even know how you died!"

Her fingertips were wreathed in purplish-black soul power, and her voice was cold and cruel.

"If I devour you, I might be able to complete the ninth trial of the Rakshasa God and directly advance to the Rakshasa God!"

"When the time comes, I will be the first to become a god, and the entire Douluo Continent will have to obey my commands!"
