Chapter 113: Chapter 114 – Xue'er with Amnesia? Obedience or Orders?
"Hmph. I am a Rank 99 Peerless Douluo, after all."
Qian Daoliu's gaze was cold as he looked at the Angel God standing before him.
His voice was full of icy authority and pressure.
"All of this… I owe to you, don't I?"
"A mere lower-realm god without a divine position dares to act so arrogantly before me?"
A flash of panic crossed the Angel God's eyes. "You… How do you know?!"
Qian Daoliu sneered, "Did you really think I never communicated with other Peerless Douluo or gods?"
"If not for Xue'er's potential to inherit divinity, I would have shattered your divine consciousness long ago!"
After speaking, Qian Daoliu threw his head back and laughed. "Hahaha! So even you face your downfall. Your consciousness has vanished—heaven truly favors Xue'er!"
The Angel God stared deeply at Qian Daoliu. "I hope you won't regret this, Qian Daoliu. Don't forget who granted you your power."
"That's none of your concern. This old man isn't so decrepit yet. What now? Do you want to test yourself against me?"
Qian Daoliu's expression was filled with disdain and cold indifference as he stared at the Angel God.
He didn't care in the slightest that this divine entity was essentially the origin of his own martial soul.
"Hmph!"
With a cold snort, the Angel God transformed into a golden beam of light and returned to Qian Daoliu's body.
Qian Daoliu sat quietly on his seat, yet his heart was far from calm.
Inheriting a god's position was always a risk.
Some unscrupulous gods left behind remnants of their consciousness, using the inheritor's body not only to pass on divine power but to reassert their will on the mortal world.
As Qian Daoliu's power grew, he gradually became aware of this fatal flaw.
The Angel God—the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul—might appear sacred and radiant on the surface, but its consciousness was corrupt and scheming.
Its plan was to ensure every descendant of Qian Daoliu's bloodline inherited its divine legacy.
In doing so, the Angel God could remain dormant within each generation of Angel Spirit Masters, gradually reviving its will.
Immortal and eternal.
There was only one reason behind this—
The true Angel God had already been completely extinguished!
This lingering consciousness refused to fade, trying instead to achieve a twisted form of immortality through parasitic legacy.
Qian Daoliu had long since discovered this scheme, yet could do nothing about it.
Even if it was only a remnant, it still wielded divine power.
Qian Daoliu might not fear its strength in battle—but he had no method to resist the implantation of its divine will.
And now, the Angel God's consciousness within Qian Renxue… had been completely erased!
Qian Daoliu was too thrilled to even consider helping the Angel God now.
He sank into brief contemplation.
There was no way Xue'er herself could have accomplished this.
And Bibi Dong didn't possess the power to do so either.
Then… why had the Angel God's consciousness vanished?
Qian Daoliu pondered deeply, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
Some time ago, Xue'er had been sent to the Star Dou Forest—and ever since her return, strange things had begun to happen.
Could it be… related to the Star Dou Forest?
"Seems I've been sitting around for too long… it's time this old man took a little trip," Qian Daoliu muttered to himself, then closed his eyes again, resuming his meditation.
Golden waves of divine energy rippled gently from his seated form.
Lin Fan opened his eyes once more. The scarlet glow in his pupils faded swiftly.
At the same time, the countless psychic filaments that connected his Zerg Hive Mind to the mental nodes of his swarm began to retract.
All Zerg units under his control resumed normal activity.
His eyes turned to the girl lying unconscious on the bed—Qian Renxue.
He wanted to observe firsthand how she had changed after inheriting the Angel God's divine source.
It seemed the mental clash between him and the Angel God had rendered her unconscious.
She now lay peacefully on the bed, a faint trace of exhaustion on her beautiful face.
Lin Fan slowly approached, staring at her flawless, angelic features.
There was no denying it—Qian Renxue, the chosen inheritor of the Angel Martial Soul, was as perfect as a celestial being.
Her proportions were impeccable. Combined with her stunning beauty, she was the very image of perfection.
And now, after undergoing incubation within the Zerg Blade Queen's chrysalis, her physical potential had been fully unlocked.
Her body had reached its most optimized state. Even in aspects where she previously trailed behind Zhu Zhuyun, she had now surpassed expectations.
Her slender waist was mesmerizing, and her long legs were lean and shapely.
Even her curves had become more pronounced, naturally drawing the eye.
Lin Fan couldn't help but lean in, lowering himself until he was face-to-face with her delicate lips.
He pressed a gentle kiss to them.
"Mm…"
Still asleep, Qian Renxue stirred as warmth brushed her lips. She murmured softly, slowly fluttering her eyes open.
The first thing she saw was Lin Fan's handsome, resolute face mere inches from hers.
Startled, her cheeks flushed with color. She quickly pushed him away, grabbing the blanket and wrapping herself up tightly.
She looked at him in alarm, her voice sharp, "Y-You! Who are you?! How did you get in here?!"
"…?"
Lin Fan blinked in surprise, momentarily confused.
Hadn't he already devoured the Angel God's consciousness?
Why was Qian Renxue acting like she didn't know him?
His crimson eyes flashed once again, locking with hers.
Qian Renxue's body froze, and she sat still like a puppet, unmoving.
A moment later…
Lin Fan's expression shifted to one of astonishment.
So this was the situation?
Due to his battle with the Angel God, its divine consciousness had been erased.
But at the same time, his own implanted Hive Lord directive—his dominating command over Qian Renxue—had also been affected, partially overwritten by the fading god's remnants.
The memory of him was gone… but the command protocols remained.
In other words—she no longer remembered him, but she would still obey him unconditionally.
Lin Fan's eyes widened.
…Wasn't this situation actually better?
Suppressing the strange feeling in his chest, he looked at her and gently asked, "Do you remember me… Xue'er?"
Qian Renxue gazed at Lin Fan, a sense of familiarity flickering in her heart.
But no matter how hard she tried to recall, she couldn't remember who he was.
Her memory stopped at the moment she entered the Star Dou Forest.
She shook her head.
Seeing this, Lin Fan's lips curled slightly.
He began to move closer again, slowly.
"Jie jie jie…"
"I… am your master."
