The Truth

"Then what will it take for you to believe me?"

Qian Renxue's tone was teasing.

In this state, Bai Ying felt as if he were burning with desire.

The next moment, Qian Renxue suddenly kissed him. This left even him at a loss. Why had she suddenly done that?

"Can you prove it now? Don't worry, you'll be the only one I have. There won't be anyone else."

Feeling her delicate skin and the warmth in her mouth, Bai Ying's face flushed scarlet, and he unconsciously sank into it.

Just as he was about to deepen the kiss, Bai Ying suddenly sensed an aura silently appearing around them.

Bibi Dong stood outside the door. As the Pope of Spirit Hall, she had been deeply intrigued by this child's claim that Spirit Hall would one day be destroyed.

With her formidable strength, she could clearly see what was happening inside the room.

What is this little bastard doing? He's actually doing something so lewd. Although that old bastard Qian Daoliu has betrothed Qian Renxue to him, doing something like this now is still rather improper.

This boy really is a lecherous man. Men are all the same.

Inside the room, the two reluctantly parted.

Bai Ying was still far from satisfied.

"Sis Xue'er, you call me a rogue, but I think you're even more like one than I am."

"Get lost! I'm not the kind of person you imagine me to be."

"All right, I'm becoming more and more interested in the Tang San you mentioned. How exactly did I end up falling for him? And how did he bring about Spirit Hall's destruction?"

This was precisely the question Bibi Dong was most concerned about. She pricked up her ears and carefully listened to the sounds coming from the room.

"Then I'll start with why you did it. As far as I know, you should be plotting a plan right now, right? To infiltrate the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and wait for the right moment to replace the entire Heaven Dou Empire. Using the 'civet cat for the crown prince' ploy to disguise yourself as the Heaven Dou Empire's second prince, Xue Qinghe. Am I right?"

Qian Renxue was stunned. Even Bibi Dong did not know about this plan yet. Only she and her grandfather knew, and she had only proposed it a few days ago. There was no way Bai Ying could have known about it in advance.

"Don't be surprised. I told you, I know everything that will happen in the future on Douluo Continent."

"Taking over the Heaven Dou Empire from within is indeed the most advantageous approach, and it allows Spirit Hall Empire to preserve the greatest amount of its strength. As you expected, this plan succeeded. You also gained the trust of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and were made crown prince. It was at this point that Tang San appeared. He made a brilliant showing at the All-Continent Soul Master Tournament as the son of Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect. It was also then that you were drawn to him and developed ambiguous feelings for him. In the end, even though you had many chances, you still wanted to win Tang San over and even considered marrying him. Because of this, you spared Tang San time and again. You had countless opportunities to kill him. You would even become a god before him. You could be said to have been the first person in ten thousand years on Douluo Continent to become a god. But precisely because you fell in love with him, this tragedy ultimately came to pass."

"Xiao Bai, are you saying that most of the blame for everything lies with me?"

"Most of it isn't entirely your fault. It was simply fate. But don't worry. Since I've appeared here, the future ending will definitely change."

Bibi Dong, who was eavesdropping outside the door, was shocked. Although she did not know whether what Bai Ying said was true, she could clearly sense that Qian Renxue's emotions had undergone a violent change just now.

Qian Renxue, the civet cat for the crown prince, infiltrating the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace and dismantling the Heaven Dou Imperial Family from within.

Although I can't believe it completely, I can't dismiss it entirely either.

Qian Renxue will fall in love with Tang San, the son of the Clear Sky Douluo, in the future. It seems this Tang San truly warrants attention.

"Xiao Bai, keep going."

Qian Renxue's expression had become extremely grim, but she still gritted her teeth and continued listening.

Qian Renxue knew very clearly that the person before her absolutely could not be lying to her.

"Sis Xue'er, I know you may not believe what I'm saying right now, but everything I've said will come to pass. So you must prepare in advance."

"Is it enough if I simply don't fall for Tang San?"

"Of course not. You only played a part in pushing things along. The greatest reason was that Spirit Hall itself was deeply divided."

"Your father, the former Pope, Qian Xunji—do you know how he died?"

Qian Renxue's expression changed when she heard this, and she said through clenched teeth, "It was all because of that woman."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue's furious, gritted-teeth expression, and felt an inexplicable pang of sorrow.

"I was never loved by him from childhood. He regarded me as the stain of his life. My grandfather told me about this long ago."

"Grandfather said that sooner or later, the position of Pope of Spirit Hall would definitely be mine."

"Xue'er, you're wrong. I believe he already told you part of the truth, but there's another part you don't know. I do."

"Bibi Dong, your mother, actually loves you very much."

"Loves me? She isn't worthy of being my mother! Not at all! If she loved me, she wouldn't have isolated me when I was little, hated me, and even wanted to strangle me."

As she spoke, intense hatred flashed across Qian Renxue's face.

Qian Renxue had long since stopped regarding Bibi Dong as her mother. In her heart, there was only hatred.

Hearing this, the pain in Bibi Dong's heart deepened once again. Seeing her own daughter regard her with such hatred, how could any mother not find it bitterly ironic and agonizing?

"If I tell you the truth about your father's death, I believe you won't hate your mother anymore. Sis Xue'er, calm down first, all right?"

Qian Renxue drew a deep breath, finally steadying her emotions, then continued listening through clenched teeth.

He's going to tell Xue'er? No. Xue'er absolutely can't know right now. Not now.

If Xue'er learns the truth, what impact will it have on her?

These two questions suddenly surfaced in Bibi Dong's mind.

Although she had always regarded Qian Renxue as the stain of her life, Bibi Dong also admitted that she did still have a trace of affection for Qian Renxue.

When Qian Renxue was born, Bibi Dong had wanted to eliminate this future trouble, but Qian Daoliu stopped her. After so many years together, although both of them acted as if they deeply hated each other, in Bibi Dong's heart, Qian Renxue was, after all, her biological daughter. That was a fact no one could change.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong suddenly pushed open the door and said, "Enough."
