Zhao Ling spent a few pleasant days with Bibi Dong in Spirit City. Over the years, Bibi Dong had subtly inherited the Shura God's power, bringing her strength dangerously close to that of a demigod.

As a result, Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu could no longer find an excuse to keep Zhao Ling and Bibi Dong apart.

Zhao Ling then decided to visit Qian Xunji. The reason?

Of course, it was because he had been intimate with his daughter, and he felt uneasy not meeting his father-in-law.

Qian Xunji, who was leisurely making tea and enjoying his "retirement life," felt strangely puzzled when he saw Zhao Ling looking somewhat embarrassed. This guy had never acted so shy around him before.

When Zhao Ling first came to Wuhun City with Dong'er, he showed no fear. Why, then, was he hesitating now?

Qian Xunji, sensing something amiss, asked, "What's wrong with you? If you have something to say, just say it. You're making me uneasy by acting so timid. Speak up, or just fart if you need to!"

Zhao Ling scratched his nose and smiled awkwardly. "Uh... Brother Qian, no, that's not right... Teacher, no... I should say Father-in-law. I'm here to show my respect..."

The mention of "Father-in-law" made Qian Xunji panic. "Father-in-law? What is this nonsense?"

Then, he remembered that his precious daughter, who had been hiding in Tiandou Imperial City, was around sixteen or seventeen. Seeing how his daughter had always eagerly thrown herself into Zhao Ling's arms, Qian Xunji was certain that this man had already taken liberties with her.

"You… you…" Qian Xunji stood up, pointing at Zhao Ling, unable to form words. He stammered, "You..." but couldn't finish the thought.

Zhao Ling chuckled, eager to clarify. "Father-in-law, don't be so... upset. To you, Dong'er is like a daughter. Honestly, I've wanted to call you Father-in-law for a long time. Now that Xue'er and I are married, I can finally address you as such."

"Moreover, with my strength now, you will definitely benefit from being my father-in-law. You won't lose out at all."

"You… you have the nerve to say that?!" Qian Xunji was shaking with anger. "I've never seen anyone as shameless as you! I… I..."

He had long suspected this day would come. Xue'er had always been especially fond of Zhao Ling. When she was a toddler, she cried to be in his arms, shouting, "Brother Ling, give me a kiss! Brother Ling, hug me!"

But now, Zhao Ling had really done that to his own daughter. Qian Xunji felt like the cabbage he had lovingly nurtured for over a decade had been eaten by a pig. His heart ached as he trembled.

"How could you do this?" Qian Xunji asked, now visibly shaken. "Xue'er is only sixteen or seventeen! How could you do such a thing to her?"

Qian Xunji longed to release his six-winged angel martial spirit and challenge Zhao Ling to a battle, hoping to thrash him into the dirt. However, deep down, he knew that such a confrontation was pointless.

From the very beginning, when Zhao Ling arrived in Wuhun City, Qian Xunji had been no match for him. Now, even if all the Titled Douluo in the Spirit Hall joined forces, they probably wouldn't be able to withstand Zhao Ling's power.

Realizing this, Qian Xunji's desire for revenge seemed like an impossible dream.

Zhao Ling saw Qian Xunji's trembling form and let out a silly smile. "Hehe... Father-in-law, I really can't help it. Xue'er is so devoted to me. If I don't comply with her wishes, she'll come over and cause trouble all day.

Father-in-law, accept me as your son-in-law. From now on, your affairs are my affairs. Your daughter is my wife, and your wife is my… ahem… mother-in-law."

Zhao Ling couldn't help but laugh as he watched Qian Xunji's fury. It seemed he was the only one who could make this man so exasperated.

Qian Xunji took several deep breaths, struggling to suppress his emotions. He shot a fierce glare at Zhao Ling. "Have you told Xue'er's grandfather about this?"

"Well... not yet. I was planning to speak to him after meeting with you," Zhao Ling answered with a wicked grin, like a dead pig indifferent to boiling water.

"Get lost!" Qian Xunji nearly slapped him. "That old man dotes on Xue'er so much. If he finds out that she's been taken away by you, he'll be so angry that he might have a stroke!"

Qian Xunji was livid, but Zhao Ling only shrugged, unbothered.

"This is something that has to be told to the old man sooner or later. Why not tell him directly? Maybe he'll be happy to know his grandson-in-law is as young and promising as me."

Zhao Ling was displeased, as he wasn't some useless man.

No matter what, his strength surpassed that of the so-called gods in the Douluo world.

Why did Qian Xunji not want Qian Daoliu to know about what had happened with him and Xue'er?

"Go away, go away, go away... I said no, and I mean no!" Qian Xunji ordered, his voice sharp. "When Xue'er is older and returns to Spirit City, we can talk about it then."

Without another word, Qian Xunji gestured for Zhao Ling to leave. Zhao Ling shrugged and tore through space with his left hand, disappearing instantly.

Qian Xunji was left in stunned silence. Zhao Ling's growing strength was truly terrifying.

According to Qian Daoliu's estimates, not all gods could open space and leave as Zhao Ling had just done. But he could do it with ease. Even Qian Xunji couldn't figure out how strong Zhao Ling had become.

It was almost as though Zhao Ling had surpassed the power of ordinary gods. Even their six-winged angel martial spirits seemed insignificant in comparison.

And what of the child of Dong'er and Zhao Ling? The child had stayed in the womb for a full sixteen years before being born, yet was able to fly instantly as if defying the laws of the world.

Clearly, Dong'er herself didn't have such abilities, which meant the child must have inherited some of Zhao Ling's extraordinary powers.

Qian Xunji suspected that if Xue'er had a child with Zhao Ling in the future, that child might also inherit the ability to break the world's rules. By then, their six-winged angel clan could become even more powerful with the help of such a child.

Of course, the child would never bear the Qian surname, but that didn't matter. As long as the child carried the bloodline of the six-winged angels, they would still be part of the clan...
