Qian Ren Xue Breaks Down: "How Am I Worse Than Qian Ren Shang!"

Qian Ren Xue Breaks Down: "How Am I Worse Than Qian Ren Shang!"

"Your Majesty the Pope, we found some traces of that child."

The man dressed in a black robe said in a low voice.

Almost instantly, Bibi Dong looked over, her face filled with excitement.

"Really? Did you bring that child back?"

"...No, but we've now confirmed the direction he left in, and where he may have gone in the end."

The man replied with an embarrassed expression, and some of Bibi Dong's excitement faded.

"Where was the last place he disappeared?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty the Pope, it was east of Spirit City... after passing through Kast Town, in the direction of the Star Dou Great Forest. We found a trace of him over there."

"The Star Dou Great Forest?"

Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly, because she knew very clearly what the Star Dou Great Forest meant. If Qian Ren Shang had entered the Star Dou Great Forest...

Then his chances of surviving were truly, truly low!

In other words, Qian Ren Shang was very likely dead.

In an instant, Bibi Dong's beautiful face dimmed somewhat, and she seemed a little lost and distracted.

The man explained in a low voice. Qian Ren Xue, who was beside them, listened in a daze, but she soon realized what they were talking about.

That child, the child Bibi Dong cared about—besides that detestable fellow, could there be anyone else?

"Mom, you... are you looking for that guy Qian Ren Shang?"

Qian Ren Xue raised her head, her expression extremely complicated as she stared at Bibi Dong's beautiful face.

"That's right!"

Bibi Dong came back to herself and replied coldly.

Qian Ren Xue asked, "Why are you bringing him back?"

"Of course it's to punish him... I, Bibi Dong, always see things through. Without my order, even if he wants to leave, he can't. Even if he dies, he has to die by my side."

Bibi Dong froze for a moment, then replied coldly. For the past three years, she had never stopped searching for Qian Ren Shang. At first, her purpose had only been to confirm whether he was dead or alive so she could give an account.

After all, she did not want this child to be found by Qian Daoliu. But later on, it gradually changed... Bibi Dong would still often dream of Qian Ren Shang.

She dreamed that after this child left her, he was actually living very happily, and that made Bibi Dong extremely annoyed.

Could it be... that she, as his mother, had truly done such a terrible job? That absolutely would not do, so Bibi Dong wanted to bring him back and see how he was doing.

Qian Ren Xue, however, broke down on the spot.

"Why... why do you still care so much about that detestable guy, Mom? He already left!"

"Shouldn't you only love me, your one child?"

"I-I said I don't care about Qian Ren Shang. I just want to see how he's doing now!"

Bibi Dong subconsciously explained, and Qian Ren Xue roared.

"You're lying!! You've been lying to me since I was little... you clearly care about Qian Ren Shang more. I saw it all."

"You tore down his room and rebuilt it, rebuilt it and tore it down... I even saw you sleeping in his room."

Slap!

Bibi Dong slapped Qian Ren Xue directly across the face. Her expression was filled with fury, along with a little bit of shame.

She had not expected those little actions of hers to have been discovered by Qian Ren Xue. That was right... in the years after Qian Ren Shang left, Bibi Dong kept dreaming of him, and then she would easily be unable to sleep.

Only when she was in Qian Ren Shang's room could she get some rest... Bibi Dong's feelings toward that child were complicated.

On one hand, she wanted him to disappear, but once he had disappeared, she could not bear it.

"You... you hit me again. Again because of that guy Qian Ren Shang. Why... how am I worse than him!"

Qian Ren Xue clutched her face and roared through her tears.

She only wanted Bibi Dong's unrestrained favoritism. Why was that so hard?

She also hoped to be targeted like Qian Ren Shang. At the very least, Zhang Jia'er had said that it proved Bibi Dong cared a lot about her feelings, instead of being summoned when needed and dismissed when not, like now!

"You're worse than him in every way! Satisfied?"

Bibi Dong could not be bothered to argue with Qian Ren Xue anymore. Right now, she only felt vexed and restless, because Qian Ren Shang was very likely truly dead.

It hurt. It hurt too much!

Bibi Dong only felt as if a huge chunk of her heart was missing.

She, Bibi Dong, seemed... to truly regret it a little.

"I... I'm worse than him?"

Bibi Dong's words completely shattered Qian Ren Xue's defenses. She shouted loudly at Bibi Dong.

"I'll prove to you... that I'm much stronger than him. I'll make you proud of me!!"

Hearing this, Bibi Dong merely raised her brows faintly and said nothing. She turned and left straight away.

Qian Ren Xue froze where she stood. This time, she did not follow.

Her heart hardened... and she also turned and left.

"Qian Ren Shang... you've already left, so why does Mom still care so much about you? Damn it... damn it. You're clearly worse than me in every way."

"I'll definitely prove to Mom that I, Qian Ren Xue, am far more outstanding than you."

Qian Ren Xue wiped her tears dry, her small face full of stubbornness. She had already thought it through. She had to accomplish something great and make Bibi Dong proud of her, and then Bibi Dong would love her.

And after Qian Ren Xue racked her brains for a long while, she also figured out a path... Spirit Hall was currently developing vigorously and already showed signs of pointing its sword at the entire Douluo Continent.

Perhaps she, Qian Ren Xue, could do something to speed up that process.

With that thought!

Qian Ren Xue pulled herself together again. She turned back, looked at the direction where Bibi Dong had disappeared, and murmured.

"Mom... I'll prove myself..."

Star Dou Great Forest, outskirts of the Core Circle!

In an ancient and mysterious forest, a towering tree rose high into the clouds, its luxuriant branches and leaves like a gigantic green umbrella that blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

"How is Sister Xiao Wu doing now?"

"Not very well... If she wants to cross that threshold, she'll need even more energy, even with the two of us helping her."

"How much longer will it take, roughly?"

"Within ten years, I suppose... By then, she'll have a very good chance of successfully transforming."

Two colossal beings spoke back and forth beneath the tree.

One of the colossal beings was like an azure mountain peak. Its thick body was covered in a layer of fine, hard azure scales, each scale flashing with a mysterious dim light, as if it contained boundless power.

Its head was broad and majestic, and two huge ox horns curved forward, with strands of electricity winding around them, making one shudder at the sight. Its large eyes, like bronze bells, were deep and wise, revealing a light that seemed to see through everything.

The other colossal being had a burly body, its muscles bulging high, like pieces of solid rock, filled with explosive power.

Its brown fur was dense and long, and when it drifted in the wind, it was like surging waves. Its face was savage and ferocious, with sharp fangs exposed in its broad mouth, flashing with an icy cold gleam. Its enormous eyes were like burning fireballs, filled with anger and majesty.

The two were none other than the two original Beast Kings of the Star Dou Great Forest, the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python!
