69: Chapter 69: You want her to go to Seagod Island to obtain the Seagod's position?

The next morning, Heaven Dou City was shrouded in a thin layer of morning mist, and the sound of sweeping came from the inn's courtyard, crisp and rhythmic.

When Lu Jing and Wang Donger arrived at the pre-arranged side hall, Qian Renxue was already sitting there.

She was still wearing a pale gold long dress, her soft long hair draped casually behind her, and between her brows was an innate coldness and nobility.

On the table were several exquisite breakfast items, steaming hot and emitting an enticing aroma.

"You two are punctual."

Qian Renxue raised her eyes to glance at the three of them, her tone flat, as if she were speaking of the most ordinary thing.

Lu Jing sat down opposite her with Wang Donger and Xiao Wu, picked up a meat bun, and asked in a flat tone: "Sister Xue'er, let me ask you something."

Qian Renxue's hand holding the spoon paused, and she raised an eyebrow as she looked at him: "What is it?"

"Do you know about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?" Lu Jing's voice was not loud, but it clearly reached the ears of the three people.

"Clatter."

The spoon in Qian Renxue's hand tapped lightly against the edge of the bowl, making a soft sound.

She raised her head, her purple eyes full of confusion, staring at the young man opposite her, and asked uncomprehendingly: "Why are you asking about the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud?"

Hearing this familiar name, Wang Donger, who was sitting beside Lu Jing, trembled slightly. Her fingers holding the chopsticks subconsciously tightened, and she bit her lip, holding her breath and pricking up her ears.

The events of last night were still vivid in her mind; she hadn't expected Lu Jing to ask about it directly this morning, and her heartbeat involuntarily quickened a little.

Lu Jing did not pay attention to their reactions, bit into the meat bun on his own, and said vaguely: "I have a use for this thing, can you find a way to get it out?"

Qian Renxue's gaze instantly became sharp, as if she were scrutinizing something.

The Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud was the national treasure of the Heaven Dou Empire, stored in a secret chamber in the deepest part of the imperial palace, guarded by a specialized team of Spirit Masters, and ordinary people didn't even have the qualification to approach it.

Lu Jing suddenly asking about this was by no means a coincidence.

"What use does it have for you?"

Qian Renxue put down her spoon, leaned forward slightly, and asked with a hint of inquiry in her tone: "Although that thing is an ancient treasure containing water-type Soul Power, to me it is nothing more than a decoration. For you... does it perhaps have special significance?"

She did not believe that Lu Jing would target an imperial treasure for no reason. This guy seemed casual, but he was actually deep in thought and would never do things he wasn't sure about.

Lu Jing saw her doubts, smiled, and said in a calm tone: "This thing is indeed useless to you, but it is different for us."

He paused, then dropped a more astonishing name, saying: "Besides being called the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud, it has another name—the Sea God's Heart."

"The Sea God's Heart?"

Qian Renxue's willow-leaf brows furrowed sharply, her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and a flash of surprise crossed her eyes.

As a descendant of the Angel God, she had been exposed to the secrets of the Divine Realm since childhood, so she naturally knew of the Sea God's existence.

That was a powerful Divinity who ruled the endless seas, and like her own Angel God, was a First-Class Divinity with a revered status.

She hadn't expected that the national treasure the Heaven Dou imperial family had worshipped for a thousand years would actually be related to the Sea God.

"You mean..."

She asked tentatively: "This Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is something of the Sea God's?"

Lu Jing nodded, a smile on his lips: "That's right, it is the inheritance token left in the mortal world by the Sea God, and it is the key to unlocking the Sea God's inheritance."

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, her fingertips tapping lightly on the table, her thoughts racing.

The Sea God's inheritance token... What does Lu Jing want this for? Could it be that he wants to get his hands on the Sea God's God Position?

But he is already the successor of the God King of Destruction!

"Since it is the Sea God's item!"

Qian Renxue raised her eyes to look at him, her tone carrying a bit of confusion, and asked: "What do you intend to do once you get your hands on it? Send it to Sea God Island in exchange for a reward? I don't think there is anything on Sea God Island that you need."

With Lu Jing's strength and knowledge, ordinary Spirit Bones and spirit rings were likely beneath his notice.

Lu Jing shook his head, his gaze turning to Wang Donger beside him: "I plan to have Sister Donger go to Sea God Island."

Qian Renxue followed his gaze, which fell on Wang Donger's slightly flushed face.

The girl lowered her head, her long eyelashes trembling slightly, yet she could not hide the anticipation in her eyes.

In an instant, Qian Renxue seemed to understand something; her pupils suddenly contracted, and she exclaimed involuntarily: "You want her to go to Sea God Island and obtain the Sea God's God Position?"

This is too crazy!

The Sea God's God Position is a top-tier Divinity position; in ten thousand years, very few people have been able to inherit it, and even the guardians of Sea God Island themselves might not be qualified.

Although Wang Donger's talent is not bad, in her view, she is still far from the God Position.

"Bingo."

Lu Jing snapped his fingers, his smile filled with certainty, and said: "That is exactly what I mean."

Just then, a crisp voice came from the side: "Can Sister Donger succeed?"

Wang Donger was stunned by the question, subconsciously looking at Lu Jing, her eyes filled with a hint of uncertainty.

Becoming a god; that is a legendary existence. Can she really do it?

Lu Jing replied: "As long as you get the Sea God's Heart and pass the preliminary test, there is a chance. Donger's talent is not bad, and her temperament is tough enough; there is nothing impossible about it."

If Tang San could pass it, there is no reason Wang Donger cannot.

Qian Renxue was silent for a moment, picked up the spoon again, scooped a spoonful of porridge, and said slowly: "I know where the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud is stored; the guards are indeed tight, with three Spirit Saints taking turns keeping watch."

"Spirit Saints? With Senior Porcupinefish's help, it should be very easy to deal with, right?" Wang Donger raised her head and said softly.

"It is indeed very easy."

Qian Renxue smiled and said with great disdain: "Just wait for my news."

Wang Donger being able to obtain the Sea God's inheritance had benefits for both herself and Spirit Hall, so she naturally would not refuse this request.

"How long do you need?" Lu Jing asked.

"Tonight will do."

Qian Renxue gave a precise time and said: "Come find me tonight, and I will give you the item."

She looked at Wang Donger, her eyes holding a bit more scrutiny: "However, I will say the ugly words upfront: the Sea God's God Position is not so easy to obtain. The difficulty of the Seagod Nine Trials is immense; a slight carelessness could result in death and annihilation. Are you sure you want her to take this risk?"

Wang Donger took a deep breath, raised her head, met Qian Renxue's gaze, and said in a firm tone: "I am sure."

For the sake of returning home, for the sake of being able to return with Lu Jing, she was willing to take this risk.

Lu Jing looked at the determination in her eyes, nodded with satisfaction, and looked at Qian Renxue again: "Then I will have to trouble you, Sister Xue'er."

Qian Renxue waved her hand and said indifferently: "What kind of trouble is this? It's just a small matter."

Her goal was the throne of the Heaven Dou Empire and the inheritance of the Angel God; as for the rest, it could be said that none of it was important.
