Spirit Hall's Inner Palace!
Shi Hao was ultimately brought here. Although he had done everything he could to break free of his restraints along the way, it had been to no avail.
Moreover, Bibi Dong had grown irritated watching him and directly tapped him twice.
She sealed his Martial Soul, crushing Shi Hao's hopes of escape!
"Don't waste your strength... You won't be able to escape."
Bibi Dong looked at Shi Hao and spoke seriously, but Shi Hao simply turned his head away.
"I don't want to talk to a big liar..."
Bibi Dong: "..."
Why was this little brat so infuriating? Bibi Dong took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her anger.
She thought to herself, Even if I deal with this child, it can only be within Spirit Hall. Doing it outside would attract too much attention. It would be troublesome if someone else launched a sneak attack, and it took three Titled Douluo to capture him. That would be far too embarrassing for Spirit Hall.
There was another reason as well. The instant she had touched Shi Hao's body just now, she had felt something strange. She could only return to Spirit Hall first.
This child was far too mysterious. Bibi Dong wanted to study him properly.
"You two can leave first... I'll speak with this child alone."
Bibi Dong looked toward the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo. The two nodded, then took their leave.
Soon, only Bibi Dong and Shi Hao remained. The two stared each other down in the dim little room.
The one with the big eyes... was Shi Hao.
Though he was still a child, his eyes were clearly much larger than those of ordinary people.
Bibi Dong looked at the child before her, his eyes wide with anger. Looking closely, his eyes were quite large and rather adorable. Even his brows and eyes seemed somewhat familiar.
She directly asked, "What exactly is your Mother's name? Why did you come cause trouble at our Spirit Hall?"
"Tell me the truth..."
Bibi Dong felt that when she had questioned him outside, Shi Hao might simply have been unwilling to tell the truth. Now that he had lost... she wanted to have a calm talk with him.
"Why should I tell you? You won't give Mother back to me anyway. Hmph..."
Shi Hao snorted coldly. "And how many times have I already answered that question... What's the point?"
"That's different. I want to know your parents' real names!"
Bibi Dong spoke with a dark expression. She kept feeling that this little brat's features were familiar.
Moreover, the aura around him did not repulse her. It even felt somewhat intimate.
"Father is Father... Xiao Xue is Mother. How many times do I have to tell you??"
Shi Hao shouted angrily. Was this bad woman crazy? She kept asking and asking. He had already said it a hundred times.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcefully restraining the urge to slap this little brat to death.
"Your surname is Shi... Does your father also have the surname Shi?"
"Obviously..." Shi Hao rolled his eyes at Bibi Dong.
"Shi Hao... Shi... Mother's name has a Xue in it!"
Bibi Dong did not get angry. She merely mulled over this information. Muttering Shi Hao's name, Bibi Dong's eyes suddenly lit up. Could Shi Hao be related to Shi Bantian?
In truth, Bibi Dong had long felt that the name was too much of a coincidence.
His father had the surname Shi, and his Mother had a Xue in her name...
Didn't that perfectly match her daughter, Qian Renxue, and Shi Bantian?
But only one or two months had passed since they separated. How could they have a child this old? It was clearly impossible.
Yet Bibi Dong truly could not think of anything else that could explain it, so she directly asked, "Is your Father called Shi Bantian?"
"I already told you, Father is Father!"
Shi Hao answered Bibi Dong with an impatient expression. Father always referred to himself as Father... How was he supposed to know what Father's name was? He only knew that Father had the surname Shi.
Bibi Dong tentatively asked again, "Then is your Mother called Qian Renxue?"
"My Mother is called Xiao Xue! Not Qian Renxue, or Wan Renxue!" Shi Hao strongly objected. Whenever Shi Bantian spoke of Mother, he called her Xiao Xue.
In his world, Mother was called Xiao Xue. After all, he had only been born for a month, so his way of thinking could not keep up with ordinary people.
But Bibi Dong had already confirmed her suspicion. Though this child's intelligence was not very high and his words were incoherent.
Bibi Dong had already made her guess. This child was very likely Qian Renxue and Shi Bantian's son. Although the timing did not quite fit... there was no other more reasonable explanation.
Bibi Dong could only guess that there might be something unusual about Shi Bantian's Martial Soul. This little Hao was definitely no ordinary child.
And if Shi Hao truly was Qian Renxue's child, didn't that mean she was this child's grandmother? It was truly unbelievable.
"I... became a grandmother already?"
Bibi Dong's mouth twitched, and her killing intent toward Shi Hao vanished at once.
But she still could not understand how he could have grown so much in such a short time. Had he eaten some Immortal Herb that promoted growth, or something else?
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's thoughts grew heavy. Since he was Qian Renxue's bloodline, he naturally could not be killed. Furthermore, he could be cultivated into a talent of Spirit Hall. But this matter was of great importance, and she had to carefully weigh the pros and cons.
"Perhaps... I can ask Xiao Xue about this and see whether she knows what is going on. After all, Shi Bantian is her man."
Bibi Dong thought to herself, preparing to go find Qian Renxue.
Just as she was about to leave, Shi Hao suddenly shouted, "Give my Mother back! Give my Mother back!"
"You... Shut... Stop making noise. Stay here quietly. Later, I'll have someone bring you food. There may be a turning point regarding your mother."
Thinking that Shi Hao might be her grandson, Bibi Dong could not bring herself to put on a cold face. Even her voice softened somewhat.
"Bad woman... You're trying to lie to me again, aren't you? Give my Mother back!!!"
How could Shi Hao possibly trust Bibi Dong now? He continued shouting.
"You..."
Bibi Dong was so enraged that she could only use Spider Silk to seal Shi Hao's mouth, then turned and left!
Worship Hall, Secret Chamber.
Qian Renxue, who had been cultivating with her head lowered, seemed to sense something. She suddenly raised her head... Upon seeing the familiar visitor, she immediately lowered her head again expressionlessly.
"What are you here for again... Didn't you say you would leave me to fend for myself?"
Qian Renxue spoke in a mocking tone.
Bibi Dong's expression darkened. She had not expected Qian Renxue to treat her this way. It was simply too much. She had originally planned to tell her that Shi Hao might be her child, but now it seemed better to forget it!
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice.
"I only came here to ask you a few things... Once I'm done asking, I'll leave immediately."
"Ask me something... You, the current Pope of Spirit Hall, actually have something to ask me? How rare."
Qian Renxue did not waste a single chance to mock Bibi Dong.
"Just tell me whether you're willing to answer."
Bibi Dong's face turned cold. Qian Renxue raised her brows.
"Of course... But once you're done asking, leave quickly. Don't come looking for me so often."
Qian Renxue was also curious what matter could have brought Bibi Dong here to question her.
"Fine!"
