After listening to Lu Yunzhou's words and repeatedly confirming she hadn't misunderstood, Qian Renxue's beautiful brows knitted tightly together. Trembling slightly, she hesitated before finally speaking:

"Lu, you… are you serious?"

"After all... that's my mother's most treasured possession. Are you sure she... she'll be willing to give it to you willingly?"

Hearing this, Lu Yunzhou smiled faintly and responded in a carefree tone, "Well? Not entirely sure. But regardless, isn't it worth a try?"

"If we don't at least attempt it, it definitely won't work, right?"

As Lu Yunzhou's words fell, Qian Renxue nodded thoughtfully, acknowledging his reasoning. She replied, "You're right. No matter the outcome, it must be tried. If fear of failure makes us hesitant to act, then failure is inevitable."

Surprised by her unexpectedly profound insight, Lu Yunzhou smirked and teased, "I didn't expect that little pig brain of yours to have such literary depth. One might think you're preparing for an advanced exam."

Before Qian Renxue could react, Lu Yunzhou swiftly scooped her into his arms and carried her to the bed with startling speed.

Although she had no idea what an advanced exam was, Qian Renxue knew one thing—she was about to suffer again.

As dawn broke, the pitch-black night sky was replaced by endless blue skies and white clouds. The fiery red sun hung high in the sky, illuminating the scene.

When Qian Renxue stepped out of the room alongside Lu Yunzhou, her face was filled with exhaustion and a faint trace of resentment. Dark circles under her eyes betrayed her sleepless night.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, and Gu Yuena were already waiting at the gates of the Angelic Hall, fully prepared.

Upon seeing Lu Yunzhou and Qian Renxue approach, Gu Yuena, who had been leaning casually against a wall, quickly straightened up and adjusted her posture to appear respectful, avoiding any chance of offending him.

Qian Daoliu immediately strode forward to greet them. As for Bibi Dong, after a brief moment of surprise at Lu Yunzhou's appearance, her cold and emotionless face softened slightly. A rare, polite smile graced her strikingly beautiful features.

"Mr. Lu," the three of them greeted in unison, their tones full of deference.

Acknowledging their respect with a slight nod, Lu Yunzhou responded calmly, "Greetings to all."

Shifting his gaze to Qian Daoliu, he added, "Elder, time is of the essence. Shall we begin now?"

The words left everyone momentarily stunned. Qian Daoliu, Bibi Dong, and even Qian Renxue froze in shock.

Did he just call Qian Daoliu Elder? That term was typically reserved for Qian Daoliu's grandchildren or in-laws!

Bibi Dong's eyes widened slightly as realization dawned. Internally, she cursed, This bastard! Is he publicly declaring our relationship without warning? How sudden! Couldn't he have prepared me in advance? How awkward!

While Bibi Dong fumed inwardly, Qian Renxue's heart swelled with joy. This acknowledgment officially made her Lu Yunzhou's first recognized woman—a status she had fought hard to secure the previous night.

Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu was taken aback by the unexpected title. Once he processed it, his expression shifted to one of deep gratitude and humility. Hastily, he replied, "Of course! Please, this way!"

Without hesitation, Qian Daoliu personally opened the doors to the Angelic Hall and ushered Lu Yunzhou inside with the utmost reverence.

Respect, after all, was reciprocal. When dealing with a figure of such stature, any respect given must be returned tenfold.

The Angelic Hall was resplendent and grand, its vast interior dominated by a towering angelic statue. The statue radiated holiness and solemnity, exuding an imperceptible trace of divinity—the residual power of the Angelic God.

Lu Yunzhou's gaze sharpened as he identified the source of that divine energy. He knew the Angelic God's divinity resided there.

In the original story, Qian Renxue had knelt before this statue for 108 days without food, drink, or rest. Her unwavering determination ultimately triggered the Angelic God's trial, awakening the remnants of divine power.

Naturally, Lu Yunzhou had no intention of kneeling for 108 days. Instead, he chose a more direct approach.

With a wave of his hand, Lu Yunzhou unleashed his formidable power, forcefully awakening the residual divinity of the Angelic God.

In an instant, radiant blue and red energies erupted, illuminating the hall. The statue of the Angelic God began to glow with divine brilliance as if coming to life. The overwhelming aura of divinity spread across the space, leaving everyone in awe.

Qian Daoliu stared at the scene with a mix of shock and reverence. Gu Yuena's curiosity deepened as she observed Lu Yunzhou's actions. Bibi Dong, however, gripped her scepter tightly, her face grim.

She couldn't shake the turmoil within. Her daughter, Qian Renxue, had been "taken" by Lu Yunzhou—a fact she hadn't even been aware of until now. Though their relationship was strained, blood ties ran deep, and the realization left her conflicted and distressed.

As divine light bathed the Angelic Hall, the air grew heavy with power. Lu Yunzhou stood tall and unwavering, ready to confront the Angelic God's test head-on.
