After the previous turmoil, the Spirit Hall enjoyed a brief period of peace.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong sat dejectedly on the throne for several days, locking herself in the Pope's Palace and even canceling routine meetings. She couldn't understand one thing.
"Why was Ye Tianxing able to defeat me? What makes him so special?!"
Since killing and absorbing Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong has risen to God of Slaughter with unstoppable force, becoming the Pope and her fame spreading throughout the Douluo Continent.
Bibi Dong, hailed as the most outstanding Pope in the last century without exception, had subdued countless so-called prodigies, yet today she had met with a setback.
Ye Tianxing.
"That brat! He keeps saying he's my son-in-law, but he publicly humiliated me in front of everyone a few days ago. Why didn't he say he was my son-in-law then!"
Bibi Dong's aura surged like waves crashing on the shore, and she was extremely frustrated. This time, she had really lost face.
If no one had noticed, that would have been fine, but most of the Spirit Hall disciples and many high-ranking members saw it that day, Bibi Dong also noticed that there had been more gossip about the Spirit Hall recently.
The claim that His Holiness His Holiness the Pope His Holiness the Pope is no longer capable and should abdicate is a deliberate attempt by the His Holiness the Pope to establish the authority of the next Pope.
"I did it on purpose, damn it! So what if I got defeated?! You're all gossiping like this!"
Bibi Dong's chest heaved with anger, but then she thought of her bet with Ye Tianxing.
This immediately made her even more depressed and gave her a headache.
Bibi Dong originally intended to use her overwhelming strength to force Ye Tianxing to submit, which would be tantamount to subjugating him.
As a result, she made a huge mistake. Not only did Bibi Dong's career collapse, but she also lost face in front of everyone, and she still had to fulfill the terms of the bet she had agreed to.
"Reconciliation is easier said than done," Bibi Dong pressed her temples, trying to clear her mind.
"Yes! I can deny it..."
Bibi Dong thought about it again and realized that Ye Tianxing's annoying mouth was always babbling around her, which gave her a headache.
" Qian Renxue, Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji!"
Bibi Dong's eyes gradually hardened, and when she started muttering " Qian Mingfeng," a smile finally appeared on her face.
"This kid is quite cute."
Bibi Dong recalled the voice and tone of her grandson calling her; it was the pure and innocent voice a child should have.
"The reason Ye Tianxing did so much was just to make me reconcile with Xiao Xue. But there's a chasm between me and her, and it's impossible to close the gap. So, I can only start with my grandson."
Having made up her mind, Bibi Dong left the pass.
The doors of the Pope's Palace, which had been sealed for several days, opened wide, and she stepped out, her figure gradually disappearing into the distance.
That day, after finishing lunch, Qian Renxue was showing her son around the Spirit Hall.
" Feng'er, remember, the place we just passed was the reception hall, which is used to entertain distinguished guests," Qian Renxue said patiently, her face beaming with a smile.
"What about the Pope's Palace?" Qian Mingfeng suddenly asked, his eyes fixed on his mother as she looked around.
Qian Renxue was speechless, then asked, " The Pope's Palace?! Do we have Pope's Palace here?"
Qian Renxue didn't want her son to know about the Pope's Palace. Going to the Pope's Palace would mean having to meet that woman. The two were like oil and water, Qian Renxue didn't want the conflict to affect her son.
"Who told you there was Pope's Palace?" Qian Renxue suppressed her anger, her smile stiff.
"That's what Dad said!" Qian Mingfeng betrayed Ye Tianxing.
Qian Renxue: "..."
OK!
This guy is still thinking about his relationship with that woman. I told him there was no chance! Why can't he learn his lesson?
Qian Renxue made a decision: Ye Tianxing would definitely not be allowed in her bed tonight; he would have to sleep outside!
Qian Renxue was about to take her son away from the direction of the Pope's Palace when Bibi Dong appeared!
"..."
The air froze in an instant.
Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue looked at each other, their faces expressionless, their eyes fixed on one another.
The two were like oil and water, despite their "mother and daughter" relationship.
Qian Mingfeng huddled in Qian Renxue's arms, shivering, and suddenly felt the air was so cold!
Qian Renxue hugged her son tightly and asked with a smile, "Why are you here, sister?"
"Elder sister?!"
Bibi Dong, she gently glanced at Qian Renxue and focused her gaze on her grandson, Qian Mingfeng.
"Little one, we haven't seen each other for several days. Do you remember who I am?"
Qian Renxue held her breath and shook her head slightly.
"Grandmother!"
"Why!"
Bibi Dong beamed with joy, while Qian Renxue's face darkened.
" Ye Tianxing, you bastard!"
Qian Renxue cursed inwardly at this moment.
( Ye Tianxing: Achoo!)
"Why does Mom call you 'sister'?" Qian Mingfeng asked innocently. If Mom calls Grandma "sister," then what did he mean by that?
He noticed that his mother's expression was off, so he asked her what was wrong.
Bibi Dong spoke before Qian Renxue could, saying, "That's because Grandma is young! 'Sister' is usually a term of address for young women. Anyone would be happy to hear you call a woman that!"
"Sister... Sister?" Qian Mingfeng looked up at his mother and tried to speak.
In an instant, Qian Renxue was petrified.
Bibi Dong was secretly delighted; children are so easy to fool!
Bibi Dong swayed and, taking advantage of the brief moment when Qian Renxue was petrified, snatched Qian Mingfeng from Qian Renxue's arms.
" Bibi Dong! Give me back my son!" Qian Renxue was furious. This woman was simply treacherous and cunning. If her son stayed with her, she would surely corrupt him.
Bibi Dong, holding her grandson, smiled at Qian Renxue, "I am this child's grandmother, and it is my duty to take care of him. You have worked hard these days taking Feng'er around. Now you should rest well."
Without saying a word, Bibi Dong took a step and disappeared.
Qian Renxue knew very well that once her son fell into Bibi Dong's hands, it would be very difficult for her, as his mother, to get him back.
"You despicable woman! Give me back my son!"
The two women began a tug-of-war.
night.
As expected, Ye Tianxing, who had spent a day in the Elder Hall, was kicked out and Qian Renxue made him sleep outside.
"Don't drag me into this if you hate Bibi Dong!" Ye Tianxing felt very wronged.
How dare you drag me into your mother and daughter's business!
"If you hadn't ruined my plans, would my son have recognized Bibi Dong? And you still say this has nothing to do with you?"
Unusually, Ye Tianxing remained silent in the face of Qian Renxue's explanation.
After a moment of silence, Ye Tianxing asked, "Does she have any requests?"
Mentioning this matter, Qian Renxue was furious and snorted coldly, "She told me to call her 'Mom,' otherwise she wouldn't give my son back to me."
Using his son to command Qian Renxue?
Ye Tianxing smiled secretly. Bibi Dong did a great job!
From Qian Renxue's perspective, it definitely wouldn't work. Bibi Dong did the opposite, taking her grandson away and forcing Qian Renxue to call her "Mom".
In this way, the most difficult beginning is over.
Upon learning of the matter, Ye Tianxing returned to the Elder Hall with his blanket, as he had more than one bedroom.
the next day.
Bibi Dong openly held Qian Mingfeng in her arms and walked around in front of Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue gritted his teeth, but there was nothing he could do. He could see that Bibi Dong treated her son very well, as if he were her own, which was completely different from the treatment he had received back then.
Qian Renxue was even angrier!
The third day.
Bibi Dong walked by carrying her grandson, Qian Renxue frowned slightly.
Day four.
Bibi Dong Qian Renxue frowned deeply.
Day 5.
Day 6.
Day 7.
"Enough!"
Qian Renxue grew anxious and went to the Pope's Palace to confront Bibi Dong, saying, "A whole week has passed, can you return my son to me now?"
Bibi Dong smiled and said, " Feng'er and I haven't had enough time yet, and you've been in Heaven Dou City for over a decade. It's time to give yourself a long vacation."
"It's none of your business! I just want my son!" Qian Renxue demanded, but Bibi Dong completely ignored her.
If you just call out "Mom" once, I'll give my son back to you.
This is Bibi Dong's attitude, and it is also the key to Qian Renxue getting her son back.
Qian Renxue was also tough; with tears welling in her eyes, she refused to utter a sound and eventually left.
Bibi Dong watched Qian Renxue's departing figure, the smile on her face vanishing, followed by a sigh, "Is it really that difficult for you to call out?"
" Gui Mei, go."
With a wave of her hand, Bibi Dong's Gui Mei figure vanished.
"That woman went too far! She separated me from my son for seven days! I..."
Back in her room, Qian Renxue hugged her blanket and wept bitterly. She knew all too well the pain a mother feels after losing her child; it is unbearable.
As she cried, Qian Renxue suddenly felt something soft against her skin.
"Me... Feng'er? This! Am I dreaming?!"
It turned out that the Gui Mei had taken the initiative to return the sleeping Qian Mingfeng, which made Qian Renxue tears of joy.
The following day, Ye Tianxing happened to pass by the Pope's Palace.
"..."
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth, "Mom, Feng'er seems to be clinging to you a lot, can you take care of her for me?"
Ye Tianxing was shocked and quickly hid in the shadows to observe.
It turned out that Qian Renxue brought her son to the Pope's Palace and offered to have him fostered by Bibi Dong.
"Did I hear that right?"
Ye Tianxing picked at his ear, Bibi Dong also looked incredulous.
Only one day has passed, when did my daughter change her personality?
Has the sun risen in the west?
Bibi Dong took her sleeping grandson and asked with curiosity and anticipation, "What did you call me just now? Can you say it again?"
"I... if you didn't hear me, then forget it."
Qian Renxue's pretty face flushed slightly, her eyelids trembled, and she turned and left.
She's still not used to it!
Bibi Dong wasn't used to it either, but upon seeing her adorable grandson, she immediately forgot all about Qian Renxue.
Now that we've taken the most difficult step, things will be much easier from here on out.
Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel smug about her own cleverness. "You're my own daughter, how could I not control you?"
Except for that despicable Ye Tianxing!
Bibi Dong has lost count of how many times she has been humiliated and tripped up by him.
Ye Tianxing passed by from Bibi Dong's perspective, greeted her, and then ran away.
"That bastard!" Bibi Dong laughed and cursed as she led her grandson back and forth to the Pope's Palace.
