Chapter 23: 23. Fallen Angel Domain
.
Squatting in front of Hu Liena, Qian Renjue reached into his pocket while gently stroking her silky hair.
"Are you hungry? Big brother has something for you to eat. Open your mouth... Ah~"
Under Qian Renjue's gentle and soft-spoken guidance, Hu Liena involuntarily opened her little mouth.
"Ah~"
She looked like a bird waiting to be fed.
"Dong, dong, whuuzh!"
Qian Renjue added sound effects of his own.
He took out the [Infinite Pacifier] that he hadn't used in years.
Under Hu Liena's curious and timid gaze, he gently placed it in her mouth.
In a soft voice, he reminded her, "Bite down and suck on it a few times, and you'll have milk to drink."
"…"
With the pacifier in her mouth, Hu Liena blinked, looking at Qian Renjue curiously.
She knew what a pacifier was, but where would the milk come from when there wasn't even a bottle?
"Try it quickly."
Qian Renjue gently urged her.
Hu Liena, a bit confused, obediently followed along.
"*suck*... *suck*"
After just a couple of sucks on the pacifier, an unexpectedly rich taste appeared on her tongue.
This miraculous phenomenon astonished Hu Liena so much that she even forgot to swallow, and she stood there dumbfounded, with milky white liquid spilling from the corners of her mouth.
"Haha, you're leaking it all over."
Qian Renjue's laughter brought Hu Liena back to her senses.
She quickly raised her sleeve to wipe it off, but still didn't stop sucking on the pacifier.
Her little throat moved slowly as she drank to satisfy her hunger.
Qian Renjue gently pinched her soft cheeks and asked with a smile, "How is it? Does it taste good?"
"Mm-hmm."
With the pacifier in her mouth, Hu Liena nodded heavily while swallowing.
Her slightly narrow eyes were filled with satisfaction.
"If you like it, then I'll give it to you."
Qian Renjue stood up with a smile.
He didn't need it anymore, and it was just collecting dust in the system space.
Hu Liena was stunned, looking up at him, her eyes reflecting Qian Renjue's affectionate smile.
Besides her brother, Qian Renjue was the person who treated her the best.
Next to them, Qian Renxue could no longer hold back, a slight coldness appearing in her eyes.
That pacifier was something Qian Renjue had used since he was little!
That vixen...
In her previous life, she took Bibi Dong away.
And in this life, she still wants to take away her little brother?!
She would never allow it!
Qian Renxue exhaled slowly and urged softly, "Jue, it's time to go back and practice swords with your sister. If we don't leave now, I won't wait for you."
"Sister, I'm coming right away."
Hearing this, Qian Renjue quickly ran towards Qian Renxue.
He turned back to Hu Liena with a smile, raising his hand in a gentle wave.
"Little sister, see you later!"
He then grabbed Qian Renxue's hand, cheerfully saying,
"Sister! Let's go."
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded, holding Qian Renjue's little hand as they slowly walked away.
On the edge of the dunes, only Hu Liena remained standing there.
Watching Qian Renjue's departing figure, her pink lips moved slightly as she murmured with the pacifier in her mouth, her voice faint and somewhat unclear.
"Th-thank you, big brother..."
Then she raised her little hand and waved.
At that moment, a voice echoed in Qian Renjue's mind as he walked hand in hand with Qian Renxue.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully spreading great love for the first time! (Recipient: Hu Liena)]
[Reward received: Fallen Angel Domain!]
Qian Renjue was stunned.
He looked back in surprise, seeing the little girl in the distance, sucking on the pacifier and waving goodbye to him.
Unexpectedly...
She was actually Hu Liena?!
Qian Renxue glanced back, reassuring him,
"Jue, don't worry, someone will come to find her soon."
"Mm."
Qian Renjue smiled slightly.
In the past two years, he had reached the 20th rank of innate soul power.
Now, he also possessed a domain.
He just wondered how the others would react after he awakened the evil six-winged Fallen Angel Martial Spirit.
…
"Sister!"
A young, anxious voice called out across the sand.
A child with silver hair came running quickly towards Hu Liena.
Hearing the voice and seeing who it was, Hu Liena removed the pacifier and stood on tiptoe, waving her small hands at the child.
In a sweet, childish voice, she called out, "Brother, Nana is here!"
The newcomer was none other than Hu Liena's twin brother, Xie Yue.
He also looked somewhat disheveled, and he quickly ran up to Hu Liena, his face full of concern.
"Sister, are you okay?"
Hu Liena, with the pacifier back in her mouth, shook her head.
"Sister, what are you biting? Where did you find that?"
Xie Yue frowned, reaching out to remove the pacifier.
He was about to throw it on the ground.
"Ah, brother! Don't throw it away!"
Hu Liena cried out with a sobbing tone, hurriedly snatched it back.
"A big brother gave it to Nana just now."
"Gave it to you?"
Xie Yue looked around cautiously, but there was no one in sight.
Puzzled, he asked, "Sister, who was there?"
"They've already left. There was also a beautiful big sister..."
Hu Liena lowered her head, wanting to put the pacifier away.
But seeing her dirty clothes, she frowned and put it back in her mouth.
"All right."
Xie Yue didn't press the matter further, taking Hu Liena's hand and walking her back to the orphanage.
"Sister... next time you go out to play, stay close to your me. Don't get lost again."
"Mm, Nana knows."
"By the way, sister, did you see Yan's shoe? He lost one."
"Didn't see it."
Hu Liena shook her head absentmindedly, focused on sucking the milk.
…
On the other side.
Qian Renxue looked at Qian Renjue, who seemed to have something on his mind.
She thought he was still thinking about Hu Liena.
She couldn't help but remind him, "Jue, don't associate with people like that in the future."
"Huh?"
Qian Renjue looked up blankly, puzzled by her words.
"Are you talking about that little sister?"
"Mm."
Qian Renxue nodded.
Qian Renjue's face was full of confusion as he asked,
"But sister, aren't all the children in the orphanage the orphans of meritorious members of the Spirit Hall? They…"
"Jue, that's not what sister meant..."
Qian Renxue hurriedly explained.
She didn't look down on those children.
She just had a prejudice and wariness towards Hu Liena.
Seeing Qian Renjue getting close to Hu Liena made her feel very uncomfortable.
But she couldn't explain this to Qian Renjue directly.
After a moment of contemplation, she finally said, "In any case, don't associate with disobedient people in the future."
"Disobedient?"
Qian Renjue raised his eyebrows, not really understanding, but nodded anyway.
"Mm, Jue understands."
…
Not long after.
The siblings Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue returned to the training grounds.
At the same time, Qian Xunji, wearing a golden crown and dressed in formal attire, appeared before them.
His face bore a gentle and kind smile, quite different from his usual demeanor.
"Dad!"
Qian Renjue happily ran towards Qian Xunji.
"Haha... Xiao Jue, how's the training going? Tired?"
Qian Xunji crouched down, as always, hugging Qian Renjue tightly.
Qian Renjue shook his head repeatedly, "Not tired, not tired. Sister is the one who's tired."
"So, are you saying Xiao Jue has been slacking off?"
"Not at all! It's just that Sister is working too hard."
"Haha..."
Qian Xunji laughed heartily, looking at Qian Renxue with a hint of reproach,
"Xiao Xue, have you been exhausting yourself again?"
"I'm not exhausted. I'm still standing, aren't I?"
Qian Renxue's eyes avoided his gaze, her expression slightly unnatural as she tried to explain.
"All right, come here, don't make it a habit! Give me hug! "
Qian Xunji sighed helplessly, reaching out to Qian Renxue.
"Okay, Dad."
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward to hug Qian Xunji.
In the past two years, Qian Xunji had made time almost every day to be with his two children.
She was gradually getting used to this warmth.
Holding his son and daughter, Qian Xunji's face was filled with smiles.
Looking at the warm sun in the sky, he wished that time would stop at the moment.
But what was destined to come would still come.
With a heavy heart, Qian Xunji stood up, holding both children in his arms.
Smiling, he said, "Xiao Xue, Xiao Jue, Dad has some good news today. Do you want to guess what it is?"
"Good news?!"
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow, quickly guessing, and his face lit up with joy.
"It's about Mom, isn't it?!"
"That's right! Xiao Jue is so smart."
Qian Xunji nodded with a smile, rubbing his face gently against Qian Renjue's.
He smiled and said, "Mom will be coming out of that place very soon."
"That's great!"
Unlike Qian Renjue's excitement, Qian Renxue was filled with worry.
She knew very well that after becoming the God of Slaughter, Bibi Dong would be at her most bloodthirsty and twisted!
