"W-what do you want?"
Lin Yu asked, still leaning his face closer.
Qian Renxue kissed him again, but only bit his lip slightly.
"Ah, that hurts."
Qian Renxue smiled sweetly: "Heh heh, that makes us even."
She wanted the broken lip to be a memory point, so Lin Yu would forever remember this day.
"It's not that easy to call it even like that~"
Lin Yu smirked and pounced, pinning Qian Renxue beneath him.
"What are you doing~"
"Ah~ No!"
"Ha ha ha ha~~"
"Don't~"
The two of them frolicked amidst laughter and joy.
Unconsciously, a night of sweet time passed.
As long as you are with your loved one, it seems that no matter where you are, you won't feel bored.
They spent the night on the rooftop, and that night, besides kissing and hugging, they didn't do anything more intimate.
Soon, dawn broke.
And so, it was time for their brief separation once again.
"Lin Yu, I promised Grandpa that after meeting you, I would go back and focus on completing the Angel Nine Trials. It might be several months before we can see each other again." Qian Renxue said with great reluctance.
Couples who have just entered a relationship hate to be together 24 hours a day and are reluctant to separate.
Lin Yu was naturally the same; he also didn't want to separate from Qian Renxue.
But he understood that both of them should prioritize their Element God trials at the moment and should not be affected by romantic feelings.
He still couldn't be complacent; he still had to cultivate with all his might and become stronger as quickly as possible!
Although with the current situation, Spirit Hall's unification of the continent was unstoppable, there was still a huge hidden danger: Bibi Dong, who was eyeing them covetously!
At the same time, there was another major and pressing matter in Lin Yu's heart: saving Qian Daoliu!
He swore to find a way to let Qian Daoliu live and let Qian Renxue become a God, but Lin Yu currently couldn't find a solution.
Either see if the Seven Elemental Gods could help, or he could only become a God as quickly as possible.
Perhaps only with enough power could he resolve Qian Daoliu's fatal predicament.
And if Lin Yu remembered correctly, in the original work, it only took Qian Renxue six years from accepting the Angel Nine Trials to finally completing them and becoming a God.
In other words, Lin Yu must find a way to save Qian Daoliu within six years.
He collected his thoughts and said: "Xue'er, just focus on your trials with peace of mind. A brief separation can lead to a long companionship in the future."
"We are not yet at a point where we can relax."
"Today, I also plan to challenge my father and complete the Element God's Fourth Trial."
Lin Yu's address to Qian Renxue had changed from Xue'er Jie to Xue'er.
"Okay, then I'll tell Grandpa and go watch you complete the Fourth Trial before returning to accept the Angel Nine Trials." Qian Renxue was quite looking forward to this battle.
"That works too; anyway, you don't mind delaying for a few hours." Lin Yu nodded, and the two held hands and got up to find Qian Daoliu.
"Oh?"
Seeing Lin Yu and Qian Renxue openly holding hands, Qian Daoliu knew that they were openly informing him of their current relationship.
Qian Daoliu chuckled to himself and asked knowingly: "What is this...?"
Lin Yu squeezed Qian Renxue's jade hand a little tighter and responded directly: "Teacher! Xue'er and I are together, but please rest assured, Teacher, I will treat her well and will never let her down—"
"Alright, Xiao Yu, you don't need to say more. As your teacher, I believe you can take good care of Xiao Xue for me." Qian Daoliu waved his hand.
It was also time for him to inform them of the marriage contract he had made with Lin Tian back then. Qian Daoliu smiled and continued: "Moreover, Xiao Yu, as your teacher, I actually entrusted Xiao Xue's lifelong happiness to you long ago."
"Long ago? Teacher, what do you mean—"
Lin Yu and Qian Renxue were both a little bewildered.
"Heh heh, let your father tell you." Qian Daoliu smiled kindly, and the next second, Lin Tian pushed the door open and entered.
"Father!"
Lin Tian patted Lin Yu's shoulder and said: "Xiao Yu, actually, as early as when you became the High Priest's disciple, I and the High Priest settled the matter of your engagement with the Young Mistress."
"So you two were already engaged."
"What... an engagement!?"
Qian Daoliu continued: "That's right. You two were still young back then, so we didn't tell you about the engagement. Now that you two have found true love, it's time for you to know about the engagement."
"So there was already an engagement between us..."
"Fiancée..."
"Fiancé..."
Lin Yu and Qian Renxue looked into each other's eyes. Although they were already together, this marriage contract, this fiancé and fiancée relationship, seemed to suddenly give them an even deeper bond.
"Now that both of you are undergoing the God Nine Trials, there's no rush to hold the wedding. Let's hold the wedding after you both become Gods."
"Yes, yes, no rush now." Lin Tian laughed.
"Mm! We'll follow the Elders' arrangements."
Lin Yu and Qian Renxue had just started dating; they weren't in a hurry to talk about marriage, so they had no objections.
A moment later, Lin Yu brought up the main topic: "Teacher, Father, I plan to begin the Fourth Trial assessment today."
"What, now?"
Qian Daoliu and Lin Tian frowned upon hearing this.
"Xiao Yu, if I remember correctly, you said that there's only one chance to challenge the Fourth Trial, and you still have one year and two months until the deadline for your Fourth Trial. Isn't it too early to challenge your father, Lin Tian, now?"
Lin Tian also felt that starting now was very inappropriate: "Yes, son, although your father is only a peak 91st-rank Titled Douluo, my current strength is such that even 92nd-rank Snake LanceElder and PorcupinefishElder might not be my opponents."
"If you fight me now, you might not win!"
They all knew that Lin Yu already had Titled Douluo battle power, but they didn't know exactly how strong he was.
In their opinion, Lin Yu was now at peak 67th-rank, and there was a great chance he could break through to 70th-rank in the remaining one year and two months. At that time, Lin Yu, as a Spirit Saint, would definitely easily defeat Lin Tian and complete the Fourth Trial.
Now, however, it was still very dangerous!
"Don't worry, Father, your son is stronger than you now." Lin Yu grinned, exuding absolute confidence.
He was confident of winning, but he indeed didn't have the strength to absolutely crush Lin Tian. However, if he were to drag out each subsequent trial until close to its deadline, then...
If Lin Yu wanted to complete the Nine Trials and become a God, it might not even be possible in ten years. Ten years was too long, so he had to speed up.
After completing one, he would quickly move on to the next.
Seeing Lin Yu's strong confidence, Lin Tian and Qian Daoliu no longer doubted him.
Lin Tian said excitedly: "Good boy! Alright, alright, then let me see how you, with 67th-rank spirit power, will defeat me, a 91st-rank Titled Douluo powerhouse!"
