NOVEL WEB Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Kissing Qian Renxue
"It's exactly what it sounds like!"
Dai Chengfeng smiled as he explained, "This is my domain space. Within this space, time is reshaped."
"Everyone and every soul beast that enters will regress to the age of six."
As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng couldn't resist pinching Qian Renxue's tiny cheek again, marveling:
"The texture feels amazing—just like cotton candy, so soft…"
This time, Qian Renxue didn't struggle. Instead, her small mouth dropped open, her eyes wide with shock.
She had originally thought that only her body had been shrunk, but she hadn't expected that shrinking would also mean…
Nothing was simple here.
Even their ages had regressed.
A domain that involved both time and space? Qian Renxue had never heard of such a thing!
"This… this is incredible."
"The power over time and space—this is something only gods are supposed to wield…"
"Dai Chengfeng, how did you do this?"
Qian Renxue felt a shiver run through her entire body. Her voice was filled with awe as she looked at Dai Chengfeng as if he were a 'monster.'
Meanwhile, the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor still didn't fully understand what had happened.
But relying on instinct, it still recognized Dai Chengfeng as an enemy.
A flicker of ferocity flashed in its eyes, and it charged toward Dai Chengfeng and Qian Renxue once more.
However, things were different now.
Dai Chengfeng merely glanced casually at the charging spider emperor, a smile curling at the corner of his lips. "Go play somewhere else. Don't bother me."
With that, he lightly raised his foot and kicked the spider emperor away.
Dai Chengfeng possessed the power of the Evil God, so his soul power remained at level 33, and his physical strength hadn't diminished either.
For a creature now reduced to the equivalent of a six-year-old soul beast, Dai Chengfeng's strength was godlike and irresistible.
Bam—
In an instant, the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor was sent flying by Dai Chengfeng's kick, crashing heavily onto the ground with a pained screech.
"This is just too…"
Qian Renxue watched the scene in shock, once again marveling at the overwhelming power of this domain.
After all, the creature that had previously forced her and Dai Chengfeng into a fierce battle was now being toyed with like a mere object, completely at Dai Chengfeng's mercy.
For a moment, Qian Renxue looked at Dai Chengfeng with a complex expression. "Dai Chengfeng, you're a freak!"
"I thought I was already strong enough, but why do I feel like you're even stronger than me?"
"I've trained hard for years and have a top-tier spirit, yet in front of you…"
At this moment, Qian Renxue was filled with a deep sense of defeat.
She thought back to her pride, her confidence in her own strength. But in the face of Dai Chengfeng's mysterious and powerful domain, she felt utterly crushed.
Seeing Qian Renxue's dejected expression, Dai Chengfeng gently reached out and ruffled her hair, then tucked a stray strand behind her ear. He softly asked:
"What are you thinking about?"
"Feeling defeated?"
"You're already incredibly strong—it's just that my domain is special."
As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng kicked the spider emperor again as it attempted another charge.
"Not at all…"
Qian Renxue pouted, speaking softly.
She watched the spider emperor being kicked away and glanced at her own tiny form, gaining an even deeper understanding of the immense power of Dai Chengfeng's mysterious domain.
But!
I'm the young master of the Spirit Hall, the future Angel God. How can I be overshadowed by you…
Qian Renxue clenched her fists slightly, steeling herself once more.
Her gaze grew resolute, burning with an intense flame of determination.
Watching Qian Renxue's renewed fire of defiance, Dai Chengfeng felt an indescribable admiration well up within him.
Unable to resist, he leaned down and gently kissed her tiny forehead, softly saying:
"Good girl. I knew you wouldn't give up so easily."
"Huh???"
The sudden kiss caused Qian Renxue's eyes to widen instantly. Her face turned bright red, like a ripe apple.
Overwhelmed with embarrassment, she didn't know what to do, her heart full of conflicted emotions. She shouted loudly, "Dai Chengfeng, you… you've gone too far!"
"Who… who asked you to praise me?!"
"How could you just kiss me like that?!"
For a moment, Qian Renxue had no idea how to handle the situation…
After all, from childhood to now, no man unrelated by blood had ever treated her this way.
Although her appearance was now that of a six-year-old, her mind certainly wasn't!
"Haha…"
Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but laugh at Qian Renxue's adorable reaction. No longer teasing her, he gently set her down.
Then, he strode confidently toward the Human-Faced Demon Spider Emperor.
By now, after several failed attacks, the spider emperor finally realized it was no match for this human.
Its eyes were filled with fear, its body trembling uncontrollably as it tried to retreat, desperate to escape this terrifying foe.
"Now you're afraid?"
Dai Chengfeng sneered as he looked at the frightened spider emperor. "Too late!"
"What happened to your arrogance when you were chasing us earlier?"
With that, Dai Chengfeng swung his halberd swiftly.
Whoosh—
A flash of cold light, and the spider emperor's head was severed.
A black soul ring slowly rose from the spider emperor's corpse, emitting a faint glow.
Unfortunately, Dai Chengfeng's soul power was only at level 33, far too low to absorb this soul ring.
And although Qian Renxue's soul power had reached level 60, she had no need for the spider emperor's soul ring.
"A soul ring this powerful will go to waste."
But soon, Dai Chengfeng stopped dwelling on it. Turning to Qian Renxue, he spoke to her as if soothing a child: "Xiao Xue, be a good girl and don't wander off. Let me meditate for a bit—I'll be done soon."
With that, Dai Chengfeng sat cross-legged and began circulating the Innate Technique, fully absorbing the lingering killing intent from the spider emperor's body.
At this moment, Dai Chengfeng's heart was filled with anticipation…
He was absolutely certain that this time, he would successfully solidify his unique Killing God Domain!

Qian Renxue watched Dai Chengfeng, her heart filled with exasperation. She muttered under her breath, "Dai Chengfeng, you're such a jerk, taking advantage of me while I'm small!"
"And stop treating me like a kid—I don't need your reminders!"
Despite her words, she obediently sat nearby, hugging her knees as she quietly watched the meditating Dai Chengfeng.
"Dai Chengfeng, how many secrets do you still have?"
"I must get stronger—I can't let you surpass me…"
"When we get out, I'll ask Grandpa to take me to obtain my sixth soul ring!"
As she gazed at the closed-eyed Dai Chengfeng, Qian Renxue silently resolved.
Her fingertips unconsciously brushed against the spot on her forehead where Dai Chengfeng had kissed her. The warm sensation still lingered on her skin, tingling with a faint itch.
Her tightly pursed lips relaxed slightly. "It feels… not bad~"
