Bibi Dong's Heart Ached Again! I Will Never Regret It!

Bibi Dong's Heart Ached Again! I Will Never Regret It!

"Why?"

Qian Ren Xue's little face was full of indignation, her brows furrowed with grievance.

"Why do each and every one of you care so much about that guy Qian Ren Shang? Why does he deserve it? He's inferior to me in every way!"

"Mom is like that with him too... Dad cares so much about that guy too, and now even you do. Is it just because he's a boy?"

"Why can't I receive your attention!?"

Qian Ren Xue demanded loudly. Over the past few years, although she knew Qian Ren Shang seemed miserable, she still refused to accept it.

Because Mom only targeted him so harshly because she cared about him. Even Qian Ren Xue herself could only gain a trace of Maternal Love after targeting Qian Ren Shang, so she had always harbored resentment.

Dad, Qian Xun Ji, was much the same. He clearly held Qian Ren Shang longer than he held her, and far more gently. Now even Grandpa Qian Daoliu, who had come here, was so angry over Qian Ren Shang's affairs!

So Qian Ren Xue finally broke down.

"Xiao Xue... how could you say that? Qian Ren Shang is your younger brother."

Qian Daoliu looked utterly incredulous. He could not understand how Qian Ren Xue, a child, could say such things.

"I don't want a younger brother like that. All he does is take away Mom's Maternal Love, and your affection too."

"But he has left now... He left Spirit Hall in the middle of Great Winter."

"So what? Isn't it still uncertain whether he's dead?"

Qian Ren Xue's little face was stern as she spoke with righteous conviction.

"He chose to leave himself. No one forced him. He deserves it. Is it because I'm a girl that you all don't value me?"

"Xiao Xue... you..."

Qian Daoliu staggered back several steps, pointing at Qian Ren Xue. He nearly spat out a mouthful of Old Blood, but he knew this was not Qian Ren Xue's fault either. He glared furiously at Bibi Dong.

"Bibi Dong... what exactly have you taught this child?"

Bibi Dong wanted to argue, but Qian Ren Xue immediately spoke up in her defense.

"Mom did nothing wrong. This is what I think myself... Besides, Mom treats me very well, so I don't want to leave here."

Qian Ren Xue ran over and stood protectively in front of Bibi Dong. She felt that doing this would surely earn Bibi Dong's favor.

"No. You must come with me."

Qian Daoliu's expression was resolute. He could not imagine what Qian Ren Xue would become if she remained under Bibi Dong's guidance.

But Qian Ren Xue refused to yield, leaving Qian Daoliu in an extremely difficult position.

In the end, Bibi Dong spoke.

"Give me authority over Spirit Hall and let me ascend to the position of Spirit Hall Pope. Then this child will be yours."

"Bibi Dong... you're actually using a child to threaten me?"

Qian Daoliu flew into a rage. What did Bibi Dong take Spirit Hall for? But what could he do?

He truly could not allow Qian Ren Xue to remain by Bibi Dong's side, so Qian Daoliu could only compromise. However, he would keep Bibi Dong in check and not let her act recklessly.

"Go back with him. But you can come back once a month... that's that."

Bibi Dong turned and gave the crying Qian Ren Xue her order. Though unwilling, Qian Ren Xue still agreed.

"I will mobilize Spirit Hall's power to find Qian Ren Shang. I don't believe that child's life is so fragile... If one day that child grows up and returns, I hope you won't regret it."

Qian Daoliu left with Qian Ren Xue in his arms, leaving behind one final sentence.

"Bibi Dong... take care of yourself."

Bang! A tremendous crash rang out. The tightly shut doors gave off a dull boom, as if they were sealing every secret behind them.

As the doors closed, darkness surged in like a tide, gradually swallowing Bibi Dong's figure.

Bibi Dong stood there silently. Without a word, she turned expressionlessly and slowly walked away.

Her icy gaze and utterly impassive face made it impossible for anyone to glimpse her true thoughts.

The intense murderous aura radiating from her made people instinctively fearful, forcing those around her to retreat and not dare approach her lightly.

Bibi Dong arrived at the Secret Chamber where she cultivated. She gently sat atop a meditation cushion, crossed her legs, and naturally rested her hands on her knees.

She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and adjusted her breathing. In the quiet surroundings, she began circulating the Soul Power within her body, feeling the flow of power through her Meridians.

"Cultivate, cultivate... all that love and romance is false. Only power is truly eternal."

Bibi Dong said this to herself, then intended to focus on cultivating. Yet she found that no matter what she did, she could not calm down.

The empty Secret Chamber was quiet, just like Bibi Dong's heart. She always felt as if a huge piece were missing from within her, leaving her especially hollow.

Feeling that something was wrong with her state today, Bibi Dong went to sleep instead, only to find that she still could not fall asleep...

Bibi Dong got up and walked out expressionlessly, deciding to take a stroll. After walking for an unknown amount of time, she suddenly looked up in a daze.

She had actually arrived before Qian Ren Shang's former room. After hesitating for a moment, Bibi Dong pushed the door open and entered.

A faint scent of decay wafted through the air. Expressionlessly, Bibi Dong walked to Qian Ren Shang's bed and sat down.

For no reason at all, a faint sense of peace suddenly washed over her. She pretended to doze as she leaned against the side, and who knew how much time passed.

"Mom!"

A childish voice suddenly rang out. Bibi Dong vaguely sensed a small, thin figure appear before her.

He sat on a chair with his hands pressed together, as though making a wish.

"I hope Mom, Older Sister, and Dad can always be happy... blessed with health and long lives. As for me... whatever. Mom says I'm a jinx, but how does that saying go? A scourge lives for a thousand years."

"Haha, I can live to be a thousand!"

The child in that phantom spoke again, tentatively.

"Oh, right... if it's possible, I actually hope Mom can love me just a tiny bit. Not much—just a tiny bit is enough. Xiao Shang is easy to satisfy. I only need a tiny bit."

"Qian Ren Shang... come here."

Overjoyed, Bibi Dong reached out, wanting to pull the child back—but the next moment, she woke from the dream.

There was nothing before Bibi Dong, only the quiet room.

So... she had been dreaming?

That scene just now seemed to have been from when Qian Ren Shang was two years old. So that child had once spent a birthday alone when he was only two.

On his birthday, he had made what he considered a rather "extravagant" wish—to have her love him just a little.

Even when making a wish, that child had been so careful.

"Did I... Bibi Dong... really go too far?"

Bibi Dong gave a bitter laugh. After Qian Ren Shang left, memories from his life suddenly began appearing in her mind like a slideshow.

She "saw" many things from Qian Ren Shang's perspective.

It turned out that this child had lived such a pitiful life.
