This Woman Can Still Be Saved!

In the original story's ending, Bibi Dong claimed that everything she had done was for Yu Xiaogang, but that was really just an excuse. No! It could not be called entirely an excuse—perhaps part of it was indeed to vent her anger. But more than that, she probably wanted to unleash her resentment!!

Because of all the misery she had suffered, she wanted revenge against the world!

She was a pitiful woman.

But at the same time, she was also a hateful woman!

So when facing such an extremely dangerous woman, no matter how beautiful she was, Yun Chuan felt nothing for her. He was not someone whose values followed a pretty face. He would not overlook Bibi Dong's danger simply because she was beautiful.

Still, judging from the current situation, as the Clear Sky Douluo's son, Bibi Dong probably would not make a move against him. After all, strictly speaking, his cheap father had done her a favor. If his father had not severely injured Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong would never have found it so easy to kill him. Much less seize the chance to become Pope.

So, all things considered.

Yun Chuan believed that he was relatively safe for the time being.

Now it depended on how Spirit Hall planned to deal with him. Would they brainwash and train him into a death warrior from childhood, then have him fight his cheap father to the death once he grew up? Or would they simply kill him to vent their anger? Or perhaps use him to strike some unspeakable, dirty deal with the Clear Sky Sect or some other sect?

Different arrangements would inevitably lead to different outcomes.

The next day.

After drinking his fill of milk and becoming a little too stuffed, Yun Chuan crawled around the fairly spacious nursery as usual, working off his meal.

There was nothing dangerous around him—only some toys brought in by the wet nurse, along with a small crib. There was not even any other furniture, leaving the entire room completely bare. Even an infant who knew nothing could hardly get himself into danger.

Thus, the wet nurse temporarily opened the door and left, for who knew what.

After a while, the door opened.

Yun Chuan had assumed the wet nurse had returned, but when he turned around, the first thing that entered his sight was a pair of familiar, beautiful legs. Higher up was a flat, smooth abdomen, followed by two full, ample mounds larger than his head... Who in all of Spirit Hall possessed such a perfect figure besides the former Saintess and current Pope, Bibi Dong?

"Gulp!"

He swallowed unconsciously.

Yun Chuan had to admit that he wanted to play with balls.

Moreover, when she had held him in her arms yesterday, he had caught that exceptionally sweet, subtle scent of milk. It made him absolutely certain that Bibi Dong was still breastfeeding! In other words, she had milk for him to drink.

But the problem was, according to the original story, Qian Renxue should have been born six or seven years ago, right? After so many years, she should have been weaned long ago. How could Bibi Dong still be breastfeeding?

Yun Chuan could not make sense of it no matter how hard he thought.

Still, the key question now was: what was this crazy woman doing here again today? Surely she had not come specifically to tease him just because she thought he was cute? Given how vicious she had been in the original story, she should not have been this motherly, should she?

Just as Yun Chuan was completely baffled, Bibi Dong, who had entered through the door, had already walked over and crouched in front of him. Her beautiful, jewel-like eyes, clear and profound, quietly watched him as though she were looking at someone else...

Gradually, the woman's gaze became softer and softer. She even slowly extended a slender, jade-like hand and stroked and kneaded his tender little cheeks...

"...Ee... ah?"

Yun Chuan put on the expression a child ought to have, tilting his little head slightly as he looked at her in innocent confusion. He seemed unable to understand why this auntie in front of him was touching his face.

This woman... doesn't see me as a substitute for Qian Renxue, does she? Seeing the obvious surge of maternal affection in her, a guess arose in his heart. The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed.

In the original story, Bibi Dong gave birth to a daughter, Qian Renxue, after being raped. But as an innocent young girl who had suffered such violation, how complicated must her feelings have been toward this child born of that crime? It was difficult for others to imagine.

On one hand, her maternal instincts made her desperately want to hold the child and lavish her with motherly love.

But on the other hand, the remnants of her rationality told her that this child was that man's spawn, with that man's sinful blood flowing through her veins! Instinctively, she did not want to have anything to do with her.

During the first period after she had been violated, all she could think about was killing the beast of a master who had ruined everything she had. But after she truly got her wish—after she killed that beastly master and took her revenge—

Bibi Dong became completely lost.

She had never had any family left in this world to begin with. Now even the man she loved despised her and had turned against her. Her respected master had turned out to be a beast whom she wanted to devour alive!

After taking her revenge, it was as though she had suddenly lost all her goals. She no longer knew what she could live for.

Go find Yu Xiaogang? Tell him what had happened to her and reconcile with him?

No! That was impossible!

Bibi Dong would never allow her filthy self to defile that sacred love. More importantly, he had long since found someone new. He no longer needed her, his old love.

Did she, who had once hurt him, still have the right to ask for forgiveness?

At that thought, overwhelming resentment surged into her heart once again!

Her hatred for Qian Xunji welled up anew.

She began to feel that killing Qian Xunji had not been enough. Only by destroying the Spirit Hall he had always protected could she truly dispel the hatred in her heart!

And so came all the actions that followed.

It could be said that the reason Bibi Dong later became what she did was entirely because she lacked love! Or rather, after taking revenge, she lost her purpose. She could only stubbornly treat revenge, along with her so-called "love" for Yu Xiaogang, as the meaning of her life. She was truly pitiful and tragic!

If, during that confused period after taking her revenge, she could have found some new emotional support, the outcome would surely have been vastly different.

The best emotional anchors should originally have been her daughter, Qian Renxue, or her former lover, Yu Xiaogang. But whenever Bibi Dong saw her daughter Qian Renxue, she recalled her miserable experiences and that man she hated and loathed beyond measure!

To Bibi Dong, this daughter was both beloved and detested. She simply did not know what attitude she should take toward her, so she could only treat her coldly—out of sight, out of mind. Later, she even sent her off to the Heaven Dou Empire as an undercover agent, so she would not keep wandering around in front of her all day.

Yet after sending away her own biological daughter, Bibi Dong, who had no family left in the world, became somewhat lonely again. No one could enter her heart, and years of solitude gradually twisted her mind even further!

Then, coupled with the influence of the Rakshasa God Inheritance, she finally resolved to begin taking revenge on society!

So the current Bibi Dong had only just avenged her great grievance. Her mind was still fairly normal, and she was in a very peculiar stage. As long as she could find a new emotional anchor, she could still be saved!

"She had only just taken her revenge. Her heart was empty right now—this was the perfect time to slip in." On the surface, Yun Chuan blinked his large black eyes innocently, gazing adorably at Bibi Dong. Yet after some analysis, a bold idea gradually rose in his heart!

He wanted to become Bibi Dong's emotional anchor!

Bibi Dong's maternal instincts were overflowing right now, which made things easier. With his appearance, rated by the system as the most handsome kid in the world, coupled with the fact that he was currently a baby, Yun Chuan refused to believe he could not conquer this woman whose motherly love had nowhere to go by acting cute and clingy!

Did she really think his maxed-out Charm was nothing more than being handsome?

Since the Charm attribute stood alongside Innate Talent and comprehension as one of the system's three major attributes, how could it possibly be so simple?

Charm was not merely something as shallow as looking good. It was a kind of individuality that radiated from within, almost like a concept, like a law. Simply put, he was practically the incarnation of "beauty" itself!

And who did not like beautiful things?

If the world itself had consciousness, it would probably favor him because of his high Charm! Let alone someone as insignificant as Bibi Dong.

Therefore, if Yun Chuan truly made up his mind to win this woman over and fill every corner of her heart with his presence, it was not an impossible task.
