"Teacher..."

Qian Renxue's expression was complicated. "So, the person who exposed my true form that day was also arranged by you, Teacher?"

She was a prisoner of the Starshine Empire, yet she was not bound by any shackles. Besides You Chen's approval, the biggest reason was that she herself had never shown any intention to resist.

Unexpectedly, when You Chen came to see her, this was the first thing she said.

You Chen remained calm. "Why ask when you already know the answer? I've already given you my final notice. Since we're on opposing sides, you should be prepared for me to expose your true colors."

Qian Renxue remained silent.

If it were a few months ago, her expression would have been extremely awkward upon hearing You Chen's words, but now, it doesn't matter so much anymore.

She truly lost, in every aspect, utterly and completely.

"Teacher, you're probably right. Whether it's about Bibi Dong or me, you've always been right."

Even the actions taken against the Spirit Hall that Qian Renxue considered incomprehensible back then now seem to be correct, or rather, only You Chen had foreseen Bibi Dong's madness in advance.

Qian Renxue looked up at him, her voice low and somber. "So, what are you going to do with me, this complete failure who has accomplished nothing?"

You Chen stepped forward, and under Qian Renxue's trembling gaze, he lifted her chin, revealing an Evil God King smile, "My good disciple, those stories I spread about your mother actually conceal a secret that could completely collapse the authority of the Spirit Hall. Hmm... have you heard of the Secret Room Douluo?"

Qian Renxue looked bewildered.

Bibi Dong never expected that, Doudou and turns, she would end up back in Spirit City.

However, this time she was not as the master, but as a prisoner, her power sealed and her body chained here.

This dark and gloomy place was her former cultivation chamber.

And just one wall away was his former bedroom.

At this moment, Bibi Dong, now a prisoner, has not reconciled with herself. Her lifeless eyes are fixed ahead, her resentment still lingering.

'Why is it that even though I've become stronger, I was defeated by that guy more easily than before I became a god? Did he become a god too? Even if he did, there's no reason he should have surpassed me in such a short time!'

Bibi Dong couldn't understand how You Chen could demonstrate power even stronger than hers when she relied on the resentment of all living beings to advance further and was not far from truly possessing the power to destroy the world.

She simply couldn't understand how You Chen had become so strong so quickly; it was as if he had cheated.

She didn't want to accept this outcome.

It even felt like a dream.

Suddenly, a bright light appeared.

Bibi Dong raised her head slightly.

The pitch-black walls suddenly became transparent, revealing his former bedroom.

Bibi Dong's eyes widened suddenly.

"Qian Renxue!? And... You Chen!?"

She saw two figures she absolutely did not want to see appear before her.

"Don't worry, I've transformed these prison walls into special magic mirrors. Xue'er can't see you or hear your voice."

A voice sounded behind Bibi Dong, but upon hearing this answer, instead of feeling relieved, Bibi Dong became even more terrified.

A warm hand then quietly caressed Bibi Dong's bare, snow-white back.

Bibi Dong turned her head and was greeted by You Chen, another You Chen, with a gentle smile on his face.

"What's going on?! You Chen!!" Bibi Dong roared, struggling involuntarily, causing the chains to sway violently.

"It's nothing, just giving you a good show."

You Chen smiled as he gently stroked Bibi Dong's body like a lover, sending shivers down her spine.

Suddenly, without any mercy, You Chen snapped Bibi Dong's head back into place, forcing Bibi Dong to face the image of the clone he was controlling and Qian Renxue.

Bibi Dong's pupils constricted, and she couldn't help but let out a trembling voice. "A good show? This is the good show you wanted me to see? Shameless! You two are master and disciple! You're utterly despicable! But do you really think that my two enemies doing such vile things will make me waver!?"

Bibi Dong looked in the mirror and saw Qian Renxue's eyes seemed to be about to tear at her eyes. Whether it was embarrassment or anger, her face turned bright red.

Although Bibi Dong's tone was firm, the trembling in her body betrayed that she was not at peace.

"What? Harmonious master-disciple relationship, Secret Room Douluo, isn't this a common tradition among masters and disciples of our Spirit Hall?"

You Chen spoke in a slightly reproachful tone, his voice sarcastic.

Bibi Dong's body stiffened, and the trembling stopped.

She gritted her teeth, extreme resentment rising within her.

Before Bibi Dong could utter a curse, You Chen exerted a little more force and sneered, "But you don't think my revenge against you will be that simple, do you?"

Bibi Dong's pupils trembled violently.

On the other side of the mirror, You Chen suddenly grabbed Qian Renxue by the neck without warning.

Qian Renxue twitched and thrashed on the cutting board like a fish with its white belly showing, its face gradually turning bluish-purple.

"What are you doing?! Isn't she your disciple?!" Bibi Dong exclaimed incredulously.

You Chen continued to sneer, "Disciple? After she refused my recruitment several times, she became my enemy, just like you. And now, she is a sinner and prisoner of my Starshine Empire, just like you!"

"Heh, heh ha... So what are you doing now? Making an example of someone to scare others!?"

Bibi Dong herself didn't understand why her voice was trembling so much.

You Chen remained unresponsive for a long time.

Bibi Dong suddenly exclaimed urgently, "You don't actually think there's any mother-daughter relationship between me and this bastard, do you?! That's hilarious!"

You Chen was simply controlling Bibi Dong's head, making her look directly at Qian Renxue's increasingly thin breathing.

At this moment, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue, who was being held by the neck by You Chen's clone and pressed in front of the magic mirror with one hand. Her eyes were glazed over, and she seemed to be staring at her in a daze. Even she couldn't understand why her heart was beating so fast, as if it were convulsing.

It felt as if something of utmost importance to me was about to be lost.

Her heart finally panicked.

"You Chen! Stop! Stop! Let her go! I'll do anything to let her go!"

As she cried out, a complete blank filled her mind: 'Why did I say such a thing?'

Why?

You Chen's prediction was correct from the very beginning.

Bibi Dong is just as clueless as expected.

While talking about Destruction God King the world and wiping out humanity, when he actually saw his daughter about to die, the daughter he had previously despised, he became flustered and started begging for mercy without thinking of anything else.

"Would you do anything?" You Chen asked in a low voice.

"I'm willing to do anything!" Bibi Dong answered without hesitation.

You Chen did indeed let go of her hand.

The mirror turned back into a wall.

On the other side of the wall, the reality was completely different from what Bibi Dong had imagined.

You Chen released his grip on Qian Renxue's Qian Renxue and easily removed the bruises with his healing power.

Qian Renxue raised her head, revealing a look that was both reproachful and annoyed, yet also alluring. "Teacher, how could you do that? I thought I was really going to die!"

She couldn't help but angrily pound on You Chen's chest, making a loud thud, which showed how strong she was.

You Chen chuckled, "Are you apologizing to me, and even asking me for favors? Anyway, even if you really stop breathing, I can still bring you back to life."

"Teacher, I never realized before... how could you be so twisted?"

"Hate?"

"...like."

Bibi Dong couldn't come up with an idea even if she racked her brains.

What she had just witnessed—her daughter being strangled to death—was actually just a romantic moment between lovers.

Qian Renxue accepted her failure and mistakes, You Chen Qian Renxue forgave her youthful ignorance, but proposed a punishment that seemed extremely perverse to ordinary people.

Qian Renxue felt... well, extreme sorrow turned to joy, she was overjoyed beyond expectation, and she couldn't have gotten what she wanted.

This doesn't mean she inherently enjoys this kind of play, but compared to the physical pain, the situation where she was mentally prepared to sever ties but suddenly turned around and was able to fulfill her wish inexplicably was enough for her to ignore everything else.

Therefore, the world where Bibi Dong was injured was achieved.

Confused by the truth, Bibi Dong glared at You Chen with a twisted expression, her eyes filled with anger and fear. "Why are you torturing me like this!?"

However, he was all bark and no bite, lacking any real authority or domineering presence.

Because her tears were flowing uncontrollably.

It was less of a question and more of a mournful sigh.

Seeing this expression, You Chen not only showed no pity, but instead revealed a look of satisfaction.

In You Chen's eyes, no matter how Bibi Dong was treated, it was not a pity.

Although Bibi Dong, who used the deaths of all living beings to complete her plan to collect faith, is indeed a great villain, she is the real culprit who initiated all of this and should apologize to all the Douluo!

Even dying ten thousand times wouldn't be enough!

However, he himself had nothing to be angry about. Even any resentment he might have harbored in the past had long since dissipated in the process. After all, he now controlled everything about Bibi Dong.

Contrary to his true feelings, You Chen angrily said, "Of course it's to inflict the pain I suffered in the past on you in return!"

Puff.

Bibi Dong's eyes widened. "Huh!?"

Looking at Bibi Dong's expression, You Chen couldn't help but sneer, "What? Didn't you say you were willing to do anything? Oh, if you're not willing, I'll just end it now."

Bibi Dong panicked again. "Wait! Wait! I'm willing, I'm willing!"

She quickly shrugged back.

Puff.

"Gurgle!"

Bibi Dong let out a muffled scream.

As You Chen exerted his strength, he began to talk to himself.

"Bibi Dong, you are truly foolish! Yu Xiaogang managed to deceive you with just a few words!"

"Hmm... you can do whatever you want to me, but you're not allowed to say Yu Xiaogang!"

You Chen didn't respond to Bibi Dong at all, and continued talking to himself, "If I had known it would be this easy, I would have done it myself!"

Thump!

Bibi Dong's pupils were trembling.

"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"

You Chen roared, portraying the image of impotent rage.

Then he uttered that supreme statement. "I was here first!"

Bibi Dong was in a daze.

"What did you say?"

Bibi Dong's face twisted in a grimace, a mixture of smugness and agony, the mental anguish in her eyes. "You Chen, You don't actually like me, do you?"

You Chen did not answer.

Silence is a response.

Having received the expected reply, Bibi Dong should have been smug and displayed the demeanor of a shrewish woman, but when she turned to look at You Chen, her heart was filled with sorrow.

But she burst into maniacal laughter. "Hahaha! So, that's why you used Xue'er to threaten me? Nobody saw through it, not even myself, but you saw through it!? You threatened me with Xue'er 'Xue'er life just to torture me? You really went through all that trouble! Starshine Emperor? World-Saving Star God!?"

No! It's not just about Qian Renxue. Even You Chen's two previous actions of letting tigers return to the mountains on Sea God Island and in the Star Dou Great Forest, as well as other inexplicable actions such as spreading rumors about her, have been explained!

If it weren't for deep love and extreme hatred, how could someone both want to ruin her reputation and yet be unable to truly harm her?

"Shut up!"

You Chen let out a low growl of embarrassment and anger.

You Chen knew very well what kind of extraordinary person Bibi Dong was.

If he simply treats Bibi Dong as a toy to play with, Bibi Dong will feel angry, humiliated, and eventually become numb.

However, if Bibi Dong knew that he was seeking revenge because of love turned to hate and was obsessed with love, and if Bibi Dong were to fully experience the so-called "love," she would be conflicted and in pain because of it.

Even...

Over time, feelings developed, and she You Chen.

In any other world, this would be an inconceivable thing.

You Chen's behavior can only be described as perverted and has nothing to do with love. However, if we put it in the context of the Douluo Continent and in the eyes of Bibi Dong, who is the ultimate love-obsessed person, it would be perfectly reasonable.

Because Bibi Dong would do the same kind of perverted and absurd things for the sake of her love.

A character in Douluo Continent with a love-struck mind is unbearable to watch, but it's different if that person falls in love with themselves.

You Chen felt that it would be really difficult to control his expression and complete this performance.

He could now truly feel Bibi Dong's heartache.

What kind of blow is most devastating to a hopeless person?

It wasn't about giving her deeper despair, but about telling her that she was originally only a hair's breadth away from a happy ending.

Bibi Dong mocked and ridiculed You Chen, but suddenly broke down in her own defenses. "Then why don't you do anything! You're a piece of trash! You couldn't even snatch me away from Yu Xiaogang, yet you dare to say you like me!? You just stood by and watched me be defiled by that bastard Qian Xunji!? You're a piece of trash!"

You Chen responded with a perfectly matched, equally foolish reply.

"Damn it, who knew you were easier to fool than a village girl! Don't I know that old Qian Xunji? He may be a bit stupid, but nothing is more important to him than the Spirit Hall! If you give it away like this, who knows if you'll sell the Spirit Hall one day!?"

Amid You Chen's angry curses, the images in Bibi Dong's mind became clearer.

If he refused Yu Xiaogang, then Qian Xunji would have no reason to persecute him.

She was still the noble Saintess of the Spirit Hall.

In just one or two years, You Chen will become famous throughout the world. Given her personality and preferences, everything will fall into place naturally...

Both possess Twin Martial Souls, both have the potential to become gods, and he also possesses unprecedented Wisdom God Position and abilities, as well as an unparalleled celestial appearance...

'Why, why did I fall for that fake con artist, Yu Xiaogang? If I had rejected Yu Xiaogang —no, if I hadn't met this con artist—would my life have been completely different...?'

She missed her true destiny, and that was the beginning of all the tragedy...

Bibi Dong began to have this idea.

Shifting blame is an innate human trait.

Not to mention, this was a way for You Chen to deliberately induce and tailor-make a way to shift the blame.

"Why... why couldn't you have appeared sooner? It's all your fault!"

Bibi Dong is being completely unreasonable.

She was well aware that she was being unreasonable.

She had far too many opportunities to extricate herself from her mistakes.

However, she never managed to seize the opportunity.

Happiness was always within reach, yet she always let it slip by, steadfastly continuing down the wrong path.

Now that things have come to this, Bibi Dong can no longer reconcile with herself.

All the mistakes have been made.

Her only stroke of luck... was that she eventually ended up with the person she "should have loved".

But she no longer had a reason or the right to express this love.

She could only indulge in physical pleasure while enduring mental anguish.

That is the pain of loving someone you can't have, loving someone you can't express.

Because of this mental anguish, even physical pleasure turns into pain.

Yet, it was also because of the "love" she imagined that she was willing to endure the endless pain, no matter how much she suffered.

Hatred and anger are emotions that can only last for a short time.

And this profound pain, entanglement, and nagging will continue in an endless cycle as long as You Chen doesn't take the initiative to end it.

Bibi Dong will then become You Chen's ultimate tool for farming rewards.
