Chapter 221:Xue Qinghe is missing
"Really?"
Hu Liena's eyes lit up. If her Spirit was evolved first, then no matter if this matter succeeded or not, she would benefit.
Of course, Hu Liena wasn't the kind of person who would take the sugar coating and then throw the cannonball back.
Her teacher was so good to her, also hoping to help her alleviate the relationship with Qian Renxue.
"Here you go."
Saying that, Wang Teng gave Hu Liena three Cosmic Souls.
Qian Renxue also knew about these. Every time they challenged the God's Trial Land in abyss mode, they could obtain a few.
Although they were very effective, they were of no use to the two of them, so they didn't value them much.
"Then thank you very much! I will definitely help with this!"
Immediately, Hu Liena patted her chest and guaranteed it. Of course, she didn't speak absolutely, leaving some room for maneuver.
"Refine them now, otherwise, a mere Level 60 quasi-Spirit Emperor like you won't be able to hold onto these."
That's right, the current Hu Liena was already a Level 60 quasi-Spirit Emperor. Wang Teng remembered that in the original work, during the Soul Master Competition finals, Hu Liena was still a Level 51 Spirit King, which was a bit outrageous.
Actually, this was all a butterfly effect caused by Wang Teng.
Wang Teng had given the Ten-thousand Year Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Left Leg Bone as a betrothal gift to Bibi Dong, and Bibi Dong, in turn, gave it to Hu Liena.
Moreover, later Bibi Dong also hunted two Ten-thousand Year Sea Soul Beasts. She absorbed their spirit rings herself, and since her Spirit Bone slots were full at the time, she gave both Ten-thousand Year Spirit Bones to Hu Liena.
Coupled with the fact that Hu Liena had met Wang Teng and Qian Renxue before, and learned from Bibi Dong that their strength far surpassed hers, the greatly disheartened Hu Liena naturally worked hard and diligently cultivated.
With three Ten-thousand Year Spirit Bones and her diligent cultivation, Hu Liena's spirit power level was able to increase so quickly.
"Mhm, mhm!"
Hu Liena nodded and immediately began to refine the Cosmic Souls.
As soon as she began refining, she felt a warm current from the Cosmic Souls in her hand flow into her Spirit within her body.
At this moment, the origin of her Heavenly Fox Spirit was rapidly growing.
Time gradually passed, and after all three Cosmic Souls were refined, Hu Liena's Heavenly Fox Spirit suddenly underwent a transformation, entering a new level.
The Heavenly Fox Spirit, which originally only had one tail, now had multiple tails, becoming nine in total.
"Nine tails? Let's call it Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox!"
Seeing her Spirit successfully evolve, Hu Liena was extremely excited and quickly gave her evolved Spirit a new name.
"Hu Liena, I'm counting on you for this matter! Also, on the first day of next month, Xue'er and I invite you to our wedding!"
"Mhm, mhm, don't worry!"
Hu Liena nodded repeatedly, completely unaware that she had already jumped into the large pit Wang Teng had dug for her.
Of course, even if Hu Liena fell into the pit, she didn't lose out. Other than anything else, at least her Spirit had evolved into a Divine Spirit.
Afterward, Wang Teng and Qian Renxue bid farewell and headed to the Hall of Offerings.
Meanwhile, Hu Liena went to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to find Bibi Dong.
Previously, Hu Liena had originally wanted to tell her teacher the good news that she had advanced to Level 60 quasi-Spirit Emperor, but she unexpectedly ran into Wang Teng and Qian Renxue, so she was delayed, but it didn't matter.
Soon, in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Hu Liena met Bibi Dong.
At this time, Bibi Dong had recovered her emotions and looked as usual. As for her inner thoughts, they certainly wouldn't be as calm as they appeared on the surface.
Watching Hu Liena enter, Bibi Dong tidied her thoughts.
"Nana, is something the matter?"
"Teacher, I have reached the realm of Level 60 quasi-Spirit Emperor."
"Hmm, very good. Tomorrow, I'll have Chrysanthemum Douluo take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to acquire a spirit ring!"
Bibi Dong nodded. Although her disciple was not as monstrous as Wang Teng and Qian Renxue, she was still good, far surpassing her peers.
"Teacher, I still have something to say, please don't be unhappy~"
Remembering the matter Wang Teng and Qian Renxue had entrusted to her, Hu Liena said softly. Since she had accepted the benefits from them, she naturally had to do the task. She still needed to have this much integrity.
"Oh? Tell me!"
Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows.
"Teacher, Wang Teng and Senior Sister Qian Renxue have invited me to attend their wedding on the first day of next month."
"Hmm? You call her Senior Sister? They told you about it?"
"Yes."
Hu Liena nodded.
"Did they say anything else?"
"Uh~, well~"
Hu Liena was very simple-minded, considering whether to tell the truth, and began to stammer.
At this, Bibi Dong immediately noticed her abnormality.
"Is there something you can't tell your teacher?"
"No~, no, they want me to persuade you to go too!"
Hu Liena said softly.
"…"
Bibi Dong glared at Hu Liena, annoyed. This was her private matter, and she originally didn't want Hu Liena to get involved.
Seeing that her teacher seemed unhappy, Hu Liena quickly spoke, hoping to make her happy.
"Teacher, my Spirit has evolved."
"What? Your Spirit has evolved?"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened. This was a bit off! How could she not understand her disciple's Spirit? The Heavenly Fox Spirit was a top-quality Spirit, and it could actually evolve? Could it be that I can't keep up with the times?
"Teacher, this is my new Spirit—the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox, it has grown nine tails."
Saying that, Hu Liena released her Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Spirit.
Looking at Hu Liena's Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox Spirit with its nine tails, plus the aura emanating from the Spirit, Bibi Dong was stunned. It really had evolved, surpassing the quality of a top-tier Spirit.
"Quickly tell me, what happened?"
"It was a treasure Wang Teng gave me. After I refined it, my Spirit evolved."
"…"
Bibi Dong was speechless. Good heavens, her son-in-law actually spent such a large sum?
Although Bibi Dong didn't know exactly what treasure Wang Teng used to evolve Hu Liena's Spirit, she figured it must be extremely precious. Was he worried that she wouldn't go, so he sent her disciple to be a persuader?
"Alright, since your Spirit has evolved, then you should cultivate well from now on."
Waving her hand, Bibi Dong didn't say much else.
However, Bibi Dong truly had to accept this huge favor from Wang Teng.
"Then, Teacher, shall we go to the wedding together?"
Hu Liena's eyes lit up.
"Hmph, we'll see then!"
Bibi Dong said grumpily. Her disciple had received such a great benefit; if she really didn't accept the favor, they would completely fall out.
She also knew that she had been wrong to treat Qian Renxue that way back then, but whenever she wanted to show care, she would involuntarily recall the past, leading to mutual dislike. That's why she adopted an "out of sight, out of mind" approach, sending Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Now that her own daughter was preparing to reconcile with her, and with Wang Teng contributing from the side, Bibi Dong was not completely cold-blooded after all. It was just that for a while, it was still somewhat difficult for her to accept.
"Alright then~!"
Hu Liena didn't know if this matter would succeed or not. If her teacher really didn't go then, she wouldn't have the face to see Wang Teng and Qian Renxue.
And even if she hadn't accepted Wang Teng's benefits, Hu Liena still wanted her teacher to go. After all, no matter what, Qian Renxue was her teacher's biological daughter. How could a mother be absent on such an important day?
'I hope Teacher can go then!'
On the other side, in the Heaven Dou Empire.
In the evening, in a grand hall within the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Emperor Xue Ye was handling state affairs when a guard suddenly reported.
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's head butler requests an audience."
"??? Qinghe's head butler? Is something the matter?"
"I don't know, but he said it was extremely urgent."
"Oh? Let him in."
The Crown Prince's head butler was someone Emperor Xue Ye had dispatched. Since he said it was extremely urgent, something major must have happened.
Soon, a middle-aged butler entered the hall.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Dispense with the formalities. What urgent matter does the Crown Prince's residence have?"
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has disappeared!"
"What? Qinghe has disappeared?"
Emperor Xue Ye's eyes widened, somewhat incredulous. Xue Qinghe was perfectly fine, how could he just disappear?
"Yes, Your Majesty. Since the Crown Prince rested last night, no one in the entire Crown Prince's residence has seen His Royal Highness until now."
"!!!"
Xue Qinghe was the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. Under normal circumstances, he wouldn't just disappear.
Even if he went out, arrangements would be made. To not have seen him for an entire day, this matter was definitely serious.
"Search, immediately go and search for him!"
"Yes!"
The head butler immediately withdrew. In fact, he had already arranged for people to search even without Emperor Xue Ye's command. After all, his authority as head butler came from Crown Prince Xue Qinghe. If Xue Qinghe had an accident, he would have no future.
"Someone!"
Emperor Xue Ye shouted loudly.
"Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Soon, an Heaven Dou Imperial Guard entered and saluted Emperor Xue Ye.
"Have Marshal Ge Long and Prince Xue Xing come over immediately!"
"Yes!"
Afterward, Emperor Xue Ye sat in his position, deep in thought.
He knew Crown Prince Xue Qinghe's character. He was steady and wouldn't play such a big joke, disappearing without reason.
Excluding this, Emperor Xue Ye immediately thought of a possibility: that he was kidnapped by a Titled Douluo-level powerhouse.
But that didn't make sense either! Although for the Heaven Dou Empire, Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was quite important.
But for other major powers, the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire probably wasn't even on their radar, right?
This wasn't Emperor Xue Ye belittling himself, but in this World, strength was revered. If Crown Prince Xue Qinghe of Heaven Dou had incredibly powerful talent, then someone might secretly try to eliminate him.
But he knew his son's strength well. His character was also steady, and he was quite good at handling state affairs. Xue Qinghe was very skilled in that.
However, in terms of cultivation talent, it was just average, not even considered a genius.
Even with the Heaven Dou Empire's vast resources supplied without limit, it was questionable whether he could reach the Spirit Saint level in this lifetime.
