The Dying Qian Xun Ji: "Bibi Dong, bring Qian Ren Shang to see me!"

Chapter 19: The Dying Qian Xun Ji: "Bibi Dong... bring Qian Ren Shang to see me!"

"Am I... about to die?"

Qian Xun Ji lay on the bed, laughing bitterly in resignation. He truly had not expected that merely pursuing someone who had not even become a Title Douluo would cost him such a tremendous price!

He still remembered that day!

That transformed 100,000 Year Soul Beast had sacrificed herself for that man, allowing him to rise directly to Title Douluo and gain a 100,000 Year Soul Ring.

That great hammer, which seemed capable of shattering the heavens, had crushed all his pride. Even the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos he had brought with him had suffered serious injuries.

That battle had dealt him an enormous blow. Over these past days, he had desperately tried to recover... but for some reason, it had not helped at all.

Knock knock!

The next moment, someone knocked on the door. Qian Xun Ji looked toward it and coughed violently several times.

"Cough, cough... come in."

The door was pushed open, and a graceful figure slowly entered the room. She had long purple hair and breathtaking features.

The woman was none other than Bibi Dong!

At that moment, she looked at Qian Xun Ji expressionlessly, holding a food container in her hands.

"Dong Er... you're here... hurry and sit down."

Qian Xun Ji hurriedly spoke, his eyes filled with tenderness. Ever since he had returned, Bibi Dong seemed like a different person, actually taking the initiative to bring him meals.

This was something Qian Xun Ji had never even dared to dream of before, yet it had now become reality.

"Eat. The food will get cold soon."

Bibi Dong spoke without expression. Qian Xun Ji immediately agreed, struggling to sit up before opening the food container she had brought.

Seeing the dishes inside, which looked, smelled, and tasted delicious, Qian Xun Ji froze slightly.

After a bitter laugh, he said nothing and began eating.

Half an hour later, Qian Xun Ji had finished every dish Bibi Dong had brought.

He set down his bowl and chopsticks, looking at Bibi Dong with a face full of tenderness.

"Dong Er, the food you brought was delicious... thank you."

"As long as it tastes good. From now on, I'll bring you food at the same time every day."

Bibi Dong's expression remained as cold as ever. As she spoke, she turned to leave, but Qian Xun Ji suddenly waved his hand and smiled bitterly.

"No need... my end is near. You don't need to keep adding poison to my food."

"You... you knew I poisoned the food?"

Bibi Dong's expression finally changed as she stared at Qian Xun Ji in disbelief.

"Then why did you keep eating it..."

"Haha... of course, because it was food you brought me."

Qian Xun Ji looked earnestly into Bibi Dong's eyes.

"Actually, I didn't know at first... but after so many days, I felt my body getting worse by the day. No matter how foolish I, Qian Xun Ji, might be, I could more or less figure out what was happening. After all, you were the most unusual thing during this time."

"You actually took the initiative to bring me food... hahaha... I was both happy and despairing."

"You brought me food only to poison me and make me die sooner... hahaha... how ironic, isn't it?"

"Cough, cough..."

Qian Xun Ji began coughing violently again, this time coughing up blood.

Bibi Dong remained expressionless and silent, while Qian Xun Ji wiped away the blood and continued.

"You wanted me dead... I always knew that. After all, I was the one who forced you back then. It's only natural that you would want to kill me."

"But I want to tell you, Dong Er... I truly loved you. My feelings for you were real."

Qian Xun Ji felt that he did not have much longer to live, so he simply said everything he wanted to say.

"You loved me... how laughable. You imprisoned me and forced me to bear your child. Is that how you loved me?"

Bibi Dong sneered, her face filled with mockery. Qian Xun Ji darkened his expression and argued back.

"I had no choice at the time. I didn't have time to slowly cultivate feelings with you... You were the Saintess that Spirit Hall had raised using countless resources. We absolutely could not let an outsider have you!"

"Especially not that Yu Xiaogang!"

At the thought of that man, Qian Xun Ji's face filled with fury. He could not understand why Bibi Dong had fallen for such trash.

"I investigated him before... Yu Xiaogang was nothing but a complete waste. He had no talent, yet acted superior all day. He was only with you to use you."

"It was all for your status as the Spirit Hall Saintess. He used you to obtain Spirit Hall's current resources and write his Spirit Theory... utterly ridiculous."

"Shut up!"

Bibi Dong flew into a rage, her beautiful face twisted into something terrifying.

"You are not allowed to speak of him like that. There was only pure love between us... It was you, it was you who destroyed everything I had."

"You're the real culprit! So what if Spirit Hall raised me? Does that mean I'm not allowed to have freedom of my own?"

Hearing this, Qian Xun Ji gave Bibi Dong a rare look of disappointment.

Gaining something meant losing something else. Every benefit had its price clearly marked in the unseen order of things. Why couldn't Bibi Dong understand such a simple truth?

You couldn't have it both ways!

Qian Xun Ji no longer wanted to argue with Bibi Dong over Yu Xiaogang. Neither of them would ever convince the other anyway.

"You bore me two children and carried on the bloodline of my Qian Family... For that, I, Qian Xun Ji, owe you."

"So if you kill me... I'll bear no resentment. After all, I know Tang Hao's blow completely devastated me. I don't have much time left anyway. The poison you gave me merely hastened my death."

When a man was nearing death, his words tended toward kindness. Qian Xun Ji was remarkably open-minded now.

He had done many things in his life, both good and bad, and outsiders had judged him with mixed praise and criticism.

But he had no regrets, because this was who Qian Xun Ji was.

And now, he had two adorable children. If there was anything he still clung to in death, it would only be those two children.

"Dong Er... I'm about to die. Your great vengeance is about to be fulfilled as well. Grant me my final wish. Bring Xiao Xue and Xiao Shang here. I want to see them one more time."

At that moment, Qian Xun Ji was no longer the Peerless Pope of Spirit Hall, only a father longing for his children.

"I can bring Qian Ren Xue to see you... but Qian Ren Shang cannot."

At Qian Xun Ji's request, Bibi Dong's gaze shifted evasively.

"Why? You can't let Xiao Shang come see me... No, I want to see Xiao Shang... cough, cough."

Qian Xun Ji instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"Bibi Dong... are you hiding something from me? What did you do to Xiao Shang? Bring him to me, now!"

Qian Xun Ji finally began to panic.

"I know you don't like Xiao Shang... Perhaps because he looks too much like me. I also know he probably hasn't been treated well by you. Every time, I would ask that child whether you treated him well."

"As long as he was willing to say the word... I would immediately take him away. But he just refused. That child was too strong."

P.S. Regarding the timeline, I made a slight adjustment. It won't affect the overall plot, so just enjoy reading.

Thank you for your understanding!
