Douluo Dalu: Qian Renxue's Younger Brother

Chapter 172: 168. The Time Is Up



Qian Renjue hadn't forgotten.

When he initially obtained the 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit from the blind box, it came with a five-year limit.

Now, it was time for it to return and to continue its life

"Ugh..."

The Soft Bone Rabbit stuck out its moist little tongue, letting out a pitiful whimper.

A while ago, Qian Renjue had already informed it of this.

But now, it still couldn't accept the fact, and its soft pink rabbit ears drooped sadly.

Its large scarlet eyes were filled with reluctance and pleading.

It cried softly, saying:

(Your Highness, don't chase Xiao Wu away, Xiao Wu has been obedient...)

"Haha..."

Qian Renjue chuckled softly and explained:

"It's not me sending you away."

"You'll leave the same way you came. I don't have control over that."

The Soft Bone Rabbit blinked in confusion.

(But Xiao Wu doesn't even know how she got here.)

"Exactly, I'm not too sure either."

Qian Renjue continued walking down the steps leisurely.

"Ugh!"

(But Xiao Wu doesn't want to leave you...)

The Soft Bone Rabbit clung tightly to Qian Renjue's face, its soft fur brushing against him.

"Silly rabbit, you're my pet, and you're even wearing a collar."

Qian Renjue glanced over at his shoulder.

He raised his left hand, revealing a golden circular mark resting in his palm.

"Look, you can't run away."

"Squeak squeak!"

(Xiao Wu won't run, Xiao Wu wants to be your pet now.)

The Soft Bone Rabbit immediately affirmed.

The golden collar on its neck shimmered in harmony with the mark in Qian Renjue's palm.

In its rabbit form, it was perfectly content being a pet.

"Well, don't you want to go back home to visit your old friends?"

Qian Renjue smiled.

It seemed like the little rabbit had become a little too attached to him

(Home...?)

The Soft Bone Rabbit paused, falling into a quiet reflection.

"Yes, haven't you already transformed?"

Qian Renjue nodded, reminding it.

"If you go back now and transform yourself. You will easily find me again right?"

(...)

The Soft Bone Rabbit lay still on his shoulder, licking the pink gem attached to its collar.

It did miss Da Ming and Er Ming, though not as much as it did when it first came here.

Softly, it questioned:

(Does that mean Xiao Wu can return? To be your pet again?)

"Pet?"

Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow.

Once the Soft Bone Rabbit transformed, being a pet was a matter that would need some reconsideration.

But as for coming back, that wasn't an issue.

After all, she'd eventually become a Title Douluo.

Smiling gently, he nodded and reassured her:

"Of course, you can return to me"

"Squeak squeak!"

(That's great! When Xiao Wu comes back, I also want to go to school!)

The Soft Bone Rabbit was overjoyed.

When the time came, it would be the boss of Spirit Academy, just like a little fox brat.

"Hm?"

Qian Renjue paused, looking at the excited rabbit with some amusement.

Unable to help himself, he laughed.

"Going to school is fine. I'll cover the costs, but it won't be in Spirit City."

"Ugh?!"

(Not in Spirit City?)

The Soft Bone Rabbit stared at Qian Renjue in confusion.

"That's right. You've been raised long enough, now I need you for something."

Qian Renjue gazed at the three white clouds drifting across the sky, a cold glint in his eyes.

"Once you've completed your task, I'll bring you back. How does that sound?"

The Soft Bone Rabbit was taken aback.

With its newfound intelligence, it was much sharper than before.

Qian Renjue had hinted more than once that there was something it needed to do.

(Xiao Wu is willing to do anything for you, Your Highness.)

Though a bit saddened, the Soft Bone Rabbit nodded repeatedly.

The kindness Qian Renjue had shown was something it would repay with everything it had.

"I'll tell you the details through the beast master collar later."

Qian Renjue stroked his chin and turned to comfort the rabbit:

"Don't worry. The collar will hide your soul beast aura."

(Xiao Wu isn't scared, Xiao Wu is just reluctant to leave you...)

The Soft Bone Rabbit murmured.

It snuggled against Qian Renjue's ear, even sticking out its tongue to lick him—doing something he had strictly forbidden.

It licked his neck.

Its rabbit ears stood upright in excitement, trembling and shaking continuously.

Qian Renjue rolled his eyes.

No wonder Nana always called it the "licking rabbit."

He wondered if the rabbit was behaving properly when he rested.

Suppressing the ticklish sensation, Qian Renjue spoke softly:

"Once Nana breaks through to Soul Elder, we'll head to Star Dou and see you off."

"Mm."

The Soft Bone Rabbit whimpered.

It used its fur to carefully wipe Qian Renjue clean.

"..."

Qian Renjue continued forward silently.

By now, Tang San should be around five years old.

He would be awakening his martial spirit soon.

Some things needed to be severed early if possible

Qian Renjue looked ahead, his gaze falling on the Blue Silver Emperor who was playing in Bibi Dong's courtyard.

Its trunk and leaves had grown more than three meters tall.

Like a banana tree, it exuded a rich natural fragrance, overflowing with life energy.

Even the flowers could survive without watering.

Qian Renjue had a hunch that the Blue Silver Emperor was nearing the point where it could use the Blue Silver Domain.

"When the time comes, I'll bring Ah Yin as well."

His eyes flickered.

At this point, taking it to the Blue Silver Forest would help it grow better.

After all, it was nearing the 10,000-year old.

Let the Blue Silver King and its kin help Blue Silver Emperor to solidify its place as their leader.

Swish!

Sensing the familiar aura approach, the Blue Silver Emperor extended its long leaves toward Qian Renjue.

"Heh, how about we take you to see your people soon?"

Qian Renjue smiled, extending his hand.

The leaf nodded, then began drawing circles in Qian Renjue's palm.

As for the Soft Bone Rabbit, it was a bit anxious.

After all, the last time it tried to sneak a bite of the Blue Silver Emperor's body, it nearly got hung all day

The Blue Silver Emperor had spared it, but the memory haunted the rabbit, and it didn't dare act rashly again.

Qian Renjue's expression became odd as he watched the Blue Silver Emperor's leaves completely envelop his hand.

It emitted a sensation akin to suction cups.

The Blue Silver Emperor had done this many times, but Qian Renjue still didn't quite understand it.

The courtyard was bathed in life energy.

The Blue Silver Emperor's trunk and leaves retracted, returning to a half-meter-tall thin plant.

Hugging its pot, it humorously waddled toward Qian Renjue.

"Senior Brother~"

From the room came a graceful figure.

Pink fox ears, a fluffy tail, and a sweet milk scent filled the air.

As she stepped, three purple spirit rings around Hu Liena's feet flickered continuously.

Her slightly slanted eyes glimmered with a pink hue.

She stood by Qian Renjue's side, her alluring body subtly pressing against his.

Her movements were deliberate and practiced.

Her face was full of charm as she raised her delicate fingers, bringing them to her lips.

Her short orange hair slightly covered her flushed cheeks, making her look incredibly enticing.

"Senior Brother~ How's Nana's new model move?"

Hu Liena's soft voice carried a fragrant breeze as she swayed her body.

Her fox tail swept teasingly around Qian Renjue's waist.
