Chapter 220 is so straightforward; it's an invitation.
Su Chen lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was truly hurt by Qian Renxue's words. However, if one looked up from below, one could see a hint of amusement in Su Chen's eyes. Clearly, he was just teasing Qian Renxue with those words.
Qian Renxue watched Su Chen's actions and had some guesses about his thoughts, but in the end, she had misunderstood Su Chen's meaning. So, seeing the other party like this, Qian Renxue subconsciously apologized and explained.
"That's not what I meant. I just want you to spend more time with me..."
Qian Renxue wanted to say that she just wanted to act cute with Su Chen, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't say it.
"Yes, I know."
"So you've been thinking about me too, haven't you?"
Su Chen stepped forward and hugged Qian Renxue in his arms. He asked her in a low voice above her head. This time, Qian Renxue dared not say "no" again. As soon as Su Chen finished speaking, she nodded repeatedly.
"miss you."
"I know, so would it be convenient for you to leave with me for a few days?"
Su Chen had intended to take Qian Renxue out for a walk to relax. Because of her status, Qian Renxue rarely had the opportunity to go out and relax. The main reason was that he was afraid that the Heavenly Dou Empire would find something was wrong. Now the Heavenly Dou Empire was completely under Qian Renxue's control, so Su Chen suggested that she might be able to leave for a few days.
"Of course there's time. If I can't even do this, I shouldn't even talk about controlling the Heaven Dou Empire. I'd better just be a good prince."
Upon hearing that she could go out and have fun, Qian Renxue's eyes immediately lit up. Despite her young age, she had been trapped in the Heavenly Dou Empire for so many years and still couldn't be herself. She had wanted to go out with Su Chen for a long time, but Su Chen had always tried to stop her by saying that they couldn't mess up the plan.
As Bibi Dong's daughter, she naturally knew the weight of her responsibilities, so she had no choice but to quietly obey Su Chen's words.
She never imagined that one day Su Chen would take the initiative to ask her if she wanted to go out and play for a few days. For a cultivation fanatic like Su Chen, it was something she would never even dare to think about.
"Then you take care of the Heavenly Battle matter, I'll wait for you."
Ruffled Qian Renxue's hair and told her to handle things properly so she could leave with a suitable excuse. Given Qian Renxue's current status in the Heavenly Dou Empire, she could simply leave as Xue Qinghe without arousing suspicion.
"Okay, I'll be there soon."
"Have you decided where we're going?"
After subconsciously asking Su Chen a question, Qian Renxue transformed back into Xue Qinghe and walked out, clearly to give instructions.
She never expected Su Chen to answer her question. For Yu Qianrenxue, Su Chen could make her happy all day long, no matter where he took her.
Watching Qian Renxue leave, Su Chen took out a soul tool. He hesitated for a moment before dialing a number, but his soul tool rang first.
"Sigh~ Kids get wild as they grow up. Some of them take care of things without telling me, which is really heartbreaking."
Bibi Dong had just finished a meeting and learned that Su Chen had returned from dealing with matters on Poseidon Island, so she began waiting for Su Chen's call.
After waiting for an hour or two, Su Chen hadn't said a single word, so Bibi Dong couldn't help but contact him.
Given Su Chen's speed, one or two hours would be enough time for him to return from the coast.
But the result was that Su Chen didn't send any news at all!
Therefore, Bibi Dong's tone was extremely resentful at this moment, as if she was about to point her index finger at Su Chen's shoulder and say that Su Chen had no conscience or something.
Su Chen believed he understood Bibi Dong's personality very well, so instead of explaining why he hadn't contacted her, he told her what he had originally planned to say.
"I know of this island with stunning scenery. I wonder if His Holiness the Pope has time to visit it together?"
Su Chen deliberately emphasized the word "Pope," speaking very slowly, slow enough for Bibi Dong to hear every word clearly, just like when he had called Bibi Dong "Your Holiness the Pope" in his ear a few days ago.
Bibi Dong's face flushed red as the soul tool in her hand fell to her body. She instinctively wanted to tease him back, but before she could finish speaking, she realized that the soul tool in her hand had already fallen when Su Chen called out "Your Holiness."
Noticing that her breathing was a little rapid, Bibi Dong controlled it slightly, picked up the soul tool again, and unconsciously rubbed it a few times with her thumb.
"So, is Xiao Su Chen inviting me to go on a date with you on the island?"
Having raised Su Chen for so many years, Bibi Dong knows some modern vocabulary, such as the word "date".
In the previous exchange, Bibi Dong was slightly outmatched, so now she straightened up a bit, ready to take it back!
A soft chuckle reached Bibi Dong's ears, and also surprised Qian Renxue, who had just finished dealing with matters concerning the Heaven Dou Empire, causing her to cast a questioning glance at Su Chen.
Hearing the noise, Su Chen looked up at Qian Renxue and beckoned her over.
When Qian Renxue walked to his side, Su Chen patted the seat next to him, signaling her to sit down, before he could even reply to Bibi Dong.
"If you want to treat it as a date invitation, that's fine too."
"So, are you going on a date with me, Bibi Dong?"
Completely unexpectedly, Su Chen directly invited Bibi Dong to a date.
Such direct or explicit words expressing his feelings rarely come from Su Chen's mouth, especially in front of Bibi Dong. Su Chen always thinks about teasing Bibi Dong a bit.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was so startled that she stood up abruptly, causing the chair behind her to tip over with a "bang".
"Your Holiness, may I ask what has happened?"
There was a knock on the door; it was someone inquiring about Bibi Dong's situation.
"fine."
After putting down the soul tool and replying to the person outside, Bibi Dong refocused her gaze on the soul tool, as if she wanted to see through it to understand the person's entire expression.
"That doesn't sound like something you would say."
All her emotions surged in her eyes, only to be slowly suppressed. With Su Chen not in front of her, Bibi Dong naturally wouldn't allow her emotions to leak out and be noticed by others.
"I don't think that's right. What would I say?"
"I wanted to ask you out anyway, so why would I tease you about this and make you sad?"
"A date should be a happy one."
"Okay, I'll come find you right now."
She quickly interrupted Su Chen and asked about his whereabouts.
When Bibi Dong heard Su Chen say that he was in the Heaven Dou Imperial City, she knew that this date trip would not be just between her and Su Chen.
If you were to ask Bibi Dong if she was truly happy about the trip with her three friends, she would say that something was missing.
She preferred to be alone with Su Chen, but Qian Renxue was, after all, her daughter, so she wasn't too opposed to including Qian Renxue in the trip for two. (End of Chapter)
