"Brother Xun!"
After hearing Qian Xunji's deeply emotional words, Ling Yuan's beautiful eyes were full of redness as she hugged Qian Xunji tightly and burst into tears, moved beyond words.
In response, Qian Xunji gently comforted her while feeling a mix of emotions and pride in his heart.
'Sigh! I really am a scumbag!'
'But what can I do?'
'My feelings for Ling Yuan are genuine. But my feelings for Ah Yin are just as real.'
'In fact, in my previous life, I liked Ah Yin even earlier and even more than Ling Yuan!'
'I can only keep being a scumbag.'
'But I love them both and never planned to give up on either.'
'If you go deep enough into being a scumbag, it becomes deep affection!'
'They're both my wings—what else can I do?'
He shrugged helplessly.
"Oh right, Ah Yuan!"
As if remembering something, Qian Xunji smiled and had a thought.
A pure white ball of light appeared in his hand, which he handed over to Ling Yuan.
"Here, this is for you."
"What is it?" Ling Yuan looked confused.
"Didn't I receive the favor of a mysterious and mighty god?"
"During my recent trip, I completed a task for that Lord and received some rewards."
"One of them was this."
"This is a blank god position. As long as you merge with it, when you one day break through Level 99 and become a demigod, stepping on the path to godhood, this blank god position will make collecting faith and becoming a god much easier."
With a smile, Qian Xunji briefly explained the use of the blank god position to Ling Yuan.
As for the six blank god positions he got from the system, he had already assigned them:
One for himself.
Then one each for his two wives and two children.
And the last one for the old man, Qian Daoliu.
That used up all six.
As for Golden Crocodile Douluo, well, he was out of luck.
After all, there were only six blank god positions.
But in Qian Xunji's opinion, it didn't matter.
With his help, Golden Crocodile Douluo could easily become the Earth God in the future.
The one he had to worry about was Qian Daoliu. Since he had already accepted the god test and become the Grand Worship of the Angel God, he could neither inherit the Angel God's position nor any other god's.
Only by merging with a blank god position could he become a god.
"Brother Xun! This is too precious!"
"This blank god position should be yours to merge with!"
Upon learning that it was related to godhood, Ling Yuan became even more moved and wanted to refuse.
"Don't worry! I have one too!"
With a smile, Qian Xunji tapped lightly and fused the blank god position into Ling Yuan's body as a stream of light.
"Keep it with peace of mind. With it, the path up to breaking through to Limit Douluo will be much easier."
The main use of the blank god position was, of course, helping someone become a god.
But beyond that, it could also eliminate bottlenecks in cultivation.
Once fused with a blank god position, all bottlenecks up to godhood would be gone.
For example: the most difficult Level 90 and Level 95 bottlenecks would disappear.
And after giving the blank god position to Ling Yuan…
Knowing full well that many marital conflicts…
Could be resolved in bed.
Seeing the touched and emotional look on Ling Yuan's beautiful face, Qian Xunji smiled softly and lovingly kissed her rosy lips.
"Ah Yuan, I love you."
Night had fallen. The bright moon shyly hid behind the clouds.
The night was still long.
And after deeply expressing his love to Ling Yuan…
The boosted power of his battle-hardened body, refined through the Dragon Transformation Technique, left Ling Yuan completely exhausted, begging for mercy before finally falling into a deep sleep.
Qian Xunji then quietly left her room and went to Ah Yin's.
At that moment, Ah Yin hadn't gone to sleep yet.
"Ah Yin, why aren't you asleep? Not used to this place?"
Qian Xunji gently embraced her and asked in a soft voice.
A faint blush rose to Ah Yin's face, and she felt a little shy.
"You and Sister Ling Yuan were so loud... Even if I wanted to sleep, I couldn't!"
After putting Qian Renxue to bed, Qian Xunji had sealed her room to block out sound.
But he hadn't done the same for Ah Yin's room.
"N-no, it's not that!"
Ah Yin stammered shyly.
"Sister Ling Yuan was really kind and welcoming today, and so was Xue'er. Being here feels just like coming home."
"It's just that it's still a new environment, so I'm not completely used to it yet."
Compared to Ling Yuan…
Ah Yin could accept her existence more easily.
After all, in the world of soul beasts, powerful ones having multiple mates in their tribe was completely normal.
"Hehe, then I'll sleep with you tonight."
Qian Xunji smiled warmly and affectionately.
"But I have a gift for you too."
As he spoke, Qian Xunji brought out a jade box.
Upon opening it, inside lay a snow-white flower about the size of a palm.
It looked like a peony without leaves, with its root connected to a chunk of black stone that gleamed like metal—clearly heavy.
The flower itself was white with streaks of blood-red, as though dyed with real blood.
"This is a rare immortal herb called the Lovesick Heartbroken Red. It also has a tragic love story behind it."
With a faint smile, Qian Xunji shared the story that Tang San once told in the novel—about the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.
"I don't know if the story is true, but to pluck this flower, one must have deep, devoted love like the story's protagonist."
"You must be completely devoted, drop a bit of heart's blood onto its petals, and only then can it be picked."
"If your love wavers even slightly, you won't be able to take it off even if you vomit blood and die."
"Back then, Father didn't allow me to announce you as my wife across the continent."
"But in my heart, Ah Yin, your place is equal to Ling Yuan's."
"In those days, I made a public announcement and had a proper marriage with Ling Yuan."
"Now, I must do the same for you."
Qian Xunji's eyes were full of affection.
"Right now, you're not in your mature stage. If Soul Douluo or Title Douluo sense it, they'll find out your identity."
"But if we can pluck this Lovesick Heartbroken Red, I can refine a pill from it that will completely mask your soul beast aura."
Listening to Qian Xunji's heartfelt words, Ah Yin's delicate and stunning face turned red, her eyes moist.
"Brother Xun! I can definitely pluck it!"
Looking at the flower before her, Ah Yin's blue-silver eyes shone with determination.
Thinking of all Qian Xunji's love and kindness, she let a drop of heart's blood fall onto the flower's petal.
The moment it touched the white petal with red streaks, the Lovesick Heartbroken Red quietly detached from the dark stone.
"Brother Xun, I did it!"
Ah Yin was overjoyed upon successfully picking the flower.
"Ah Yin!"
Qian Xunji hugged her tightly, his heart stirred.
"Tomorrow, I'll refine it into a pill to conceal your aura. Then we'll set our wedding date right away."
"Otherwise, when the child gets bigger, it'll be too late."
And the next day…
Using the Lovesick Heartbroken Red as the main ingredient…
Qian Xunji used the Wordless Pill Scripture to develop a special Transformation Pill that enhanced the flower's aura-masking effect.
After giving it to Ah Yin and having Qian Daoliu inspect her…
Confirming he couldn't see through her identity…
Qian Xunji began discussing the wedding date with Qian Daoliu.
Since Ah Yin was already pregnant, the wedding had to be held before she started to show.
So in the end, the wedding was set…
For three months later.
