Bibi Dong resigned herself. This time, she no longer struggled, instead walking voluntarily toward the Secret Chamber.

She knew that as long as Xiao Gang still held an important place in her heart, that beast Qian Xunji would always have a reason to use Xiao Gang to threaten her—unless Bibi Dong could forget Xiao Gang.

But...

How could she possibly forget that lovable man, Xiao Gang? Without Xiao Gang, what would Bibi Dong have left?

Inside the Secret Chamber, system notifications sounded one after another.

Bibi Dong's resentment +25999

Bibi Dong's resentment +25999

Bibi Dong's resentment +15999

After an unknown amount of time, Bibi Dong was finally so exhausted that she drifted off to sleep, and the Emotion Points that could be collected came to an abrupt stop because of her slumber.

Qian Xunji sat in his chair, looking at the more than two million Emotion Points in the system.

The greatest contributor to these Emotion Points had to be his "Good Disciple," followed by Hao Zi. At this stage, Tang San could provide him with very few Emotion Points.

Qian Xunji suppressed the urge to draw prizes. He decided to wait until he had ten million Emotion Points before going for a big draw.

With that thought, Qian Xunji spent two Emotion Points in the System Shop to buy a lighter and a pack of Hua Zi. He lit a post-coital cigarette and began puffing away.

He smoked as he watched the sleeping Bibi Dong.

The sleeping Bibi Dong looked holy and beautiful. Qian Xunji knew that beneath that beautiful exterior lay a crazed heart.

The more obedient Bibi Dong was toward him, the more important Yu Xiaogang's place was in her heart.

They said that a drowning person would desperately cling to the last straw that could save them, while someone sinking into darkness would desperately grasp at that sliver of light within it.

What kind of man was Yu Xiaogang

A level 29 piece of trash. The theories he was proud of came from plagiarism, while the common knowledge and Martial Soul Soul Ring configurations came from summaries compiled in the era of the Angel God Ancestor.

What charm did such a man possess that made two outstanding women devoted to him?

Actually, it was not difficult to understand. On Liu Erlong's side, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill caused the man and woman to be mutually attracted to each other. The Golden Iron Triangle's Martial Soul Fusion Skill had primary and secondary roles, with Yu Xiaogang as the primary and Flender and Liu Erlong as the secondary. That was why Liu Erlong was drawn to Yu Xiaogang, while Flender willingly gave up Liu Erlong to fulfill Yu Xiaogang.

As for Bibi Dong, she had been entirely protected by Qian Xunji. Very few people could approach her, and even those who did could not avoid treating her with awe and distance. In her adolescence, Bibi Dong had expectations toward the opposite sex, and Yu Xiaogang became the first person to enter her heart. Everyone else addressed her as Her Highness, the Saintess, Her Highness, the Saintess, keeping their distance. But Yu Xiaogang? Inferior yet arrogant, useless but always pretending to be impressive, acting before Bibi Dong as if he were incredibly learned.

And that act actually worked on a sheltered Little Girl like Bibi Dong. Before long, he had her hooked.

Would Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang truly have been happy if they ended up together? Not necessarily. It was like a Bai Baihe-type girl in the anime Doraemon. In Nobisuke's memories, that first love of his had been so wonderful—who could have imagined that she was his future son, Nobita?

First love came with its own rose-tinted filter, but that was not the key reason Bibi Dong fell for Yu Xiaogang. The real key lay in two things: Qian Xunji and the Rakshasa God's assistance!

Qian Xunji forcibly tore the lovers apart, and what happened to Bibi Dong in the Secret Chamber completely shattered Qian Xunji's image in Bibi Dong's heart. On top of that, the Rakshasa God constantly put filters over Bibi Dong's perception, causing Yu Xiaogang to become, in Bibi Dong's heart—

A level 29 waste with plagiarized theories, transformed directly into a sacred and inviolable figure.

Even a pile of dog shit could be imagined as gold.

Bibi Dong had truly been blinded by love, so blinded that she sold out Spirit Hall's secrets without even realizing it. Qian Renxue's six Soul Bones, Light Feather Douluo of the Worship Hall, Yu Xiaogang always managed to display his broad knowledge at crucial moments. This intelligence was Spirit Hall's secret. Ning Fengzhi did not know it, the Clear Sky Sect did not know it, yet Yu Xiaogang alone knew. That explained everything.

Only Pope Qian Xunji and Qian Daoliu had been merciful. For behavior like Bibi Dong's, it would not have been excessive to execute her on the spot—literally.

Love was not a reason for you to betray Spirit Hall!

At that thought, Qian Xunji became annoyed. He felt as though both he and his predecessor had fucking been making wedding clothes for Yu Xiaogang.

"Fuck that. Qian Xunji and I have both been helping Yu Xiaogang, making Bibi Dong love him with all her heart." Qian Xunji gloomily extinguished his cigarette. If he had transmigrated a little earlier, he had no idea how many ways he could have used to ruin Yu Xiaogang's reputation and let Bibi Dong see Yu Xiaogang's true face. But it was too late. Everything was fucking too late.

"The more a person drowns, the more desperately they cling to a straw. And Bibi Dong will never be able to forget Yu Xiaogang." Qian Xunji recalled the original novel's ending. Even at the end, when Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong recognized each other as mother and daughter, Bibi Dong still had not let go of Yu Xiaogang even in death. It left Qian Xunji deeply frustrated.

"Right." An idea flashed through Qian Xunji's mind.

Qian Xunji picked up the All-Purpose Affection Card and said, "System, use the All-Purpose Affection Card."

Respected host, please select the designated user, designated target, and type of affection!

"User: Qian Renxue. Designated target: Bibi Dong. Increase the mother-daughter familial affection Bibi Dong feels toward Qian Renxue," Qian Xunji said.

Using the All-Purpose Affection Card!

The Friendship Card in Qian Xunji's hand turned into specks of light. One portion drifted toward Qian Renxue, while the other flowed into Bibi Dong's body.

After a while.

The All-Purpose Affection Card had been used successfully.

Qian Xunji looked deeply at Bibi Dong.

He did not care whether Bibi Dong hated him, but he could not compare Bibi Dong with Tang Hao and Yu Xiaogang. After all, Qian Renxue stood between the two of them. The more Bibi Dong hated Qian Xunji, the greater the rift between mother and daughter would become.

Could the mother-daughter bond between Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong really be inferior to that pile of dog shit, Yu Xiaogang?

Of course, there was one chief culprit behind this matter: the Rakshasa God. Bibi Dong had her own subjective reasons for wanting to kill him, but a large part of it was also due to the Rakshasa God's temptation.

Likewise, Bibi Dong's attack on Qian Renxue this time could not have happened without the Rakshasa God stirring up trouble behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, the Rakshasa God was far away in the God Realm. Even if he descended to the lower realm, he was still a genuine First Level God, not someone Qian Xunji could handle yet. Of course, Qian Xunji was not worried. The Rakshasa God could not descend to the lower realm.

Rakshasa God, I'm fucking keeping this debt in mind. One day, I'll fucking capture you and refine you.
