Background / History
Bibi Dong was born in a dilapidated village and spent her early childhood wandering with her parents, who were considered Evil Soul Masters. After Martial Soul Hall captured and executed them, she was placed in one of its orphanages. Her awakening at age six brought her to the attention of Pope Qian Xunji 76.
As Qian Xunji's disciple, she received extensive instruction but lived under strict control. She initially regarded his possessiveness as care and respected him as a father figure. Seeking contact with the outside world, she met Yu Xiaogang in Martial Soul Hall's library. She supplied him with books and cultivation pills, supporting his compilation of the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul. When he proposed leaving Martial Soul Hall together, she agreed 76.
Qian Xunji sexually assaulted and imprisoned her, forcing her to bear Qian Renxue. This betrayal fueled her resentment toward him and the Angel family. After giving birth, she entered the City of Slaughter, obtained the Slaughter God's Domain, and received the Rakshasa inheritance. She later waited six to seven years for an opportunity to kill Qian Xunji, acting when he returned severely injured by Tang Hao 75 76 99.
Qian Daoliu recommended her as Pope because Qian Xunji had died and Qian Renxue was too young to assume leadership. Bibi Dong nevertheless described her initial position as a powerless puppet appointment. Her efforts to gain authority brought her into repeated conflict with the Elder Hall, while Qian Daoliu continued to distrust her 77 81.
Appearance
Bibi Dong is described as exceptionally beautiful, with a mature charm and a noble, sacred, imposing presence 40 75.
- Eyes: Deep purple, phoenix-shaped eyes with an intimidating gaze 40 71.
- Papal attire: A luxurious black robe embroidered with gold, a Nine-Curved Purple-Gold Crown, and the Papal Scepter. She also wears a brilliant golden papal robe on later occasions 71 185.
- Informal attire: A simple, form-fitting black robe when meeting Qian Renxue privately 77.
- Evolved Martial Soul possession: Ice-blue web markings on her forehead, eight sharp spider legs extending from her back, and ice-blue armor threaded with golden light. Nine ice-blue Soul Rings accompany this form 82.
- Attitude toward her transformation: She previously disliked the appearance of her original Martial Soul possession; the evolved form makes her willing to use it without that reservation 82.
Personality
Bibi Dong is cautious, analytical, and decisive. She demands tangible proof of Xue Ke's allegiance rather than accepting an emotional declaration, but approves the enrichment plan once persuaded of its benefits. Her leadership combines institutional reform with ruthless action against perceived threats 71 73 84 163.
Her early interactions with Qian Renxue reveal pride, stubbornness, and resentment. During her conversation with Xue Ke, she describes darkness and suffering as permanent and happiness as fleeting. The Lovesick Heartbreak Red test challenges her attachment to Yu Xiaogang, exposing it as obsession rather than genuine love 76 77.
Following reconciliation, she becomes openly affectionate toward her daughters and more willing to acknowledge her mistakes. Her heart trial reveals that losing Qian Renxue—not reliving Qian Xunji's abuse—is her deepest fear. She also develops a dry, amused response to the household's romantic rivalries and values Xue Ke's company amid her demanding work routine 185 210 251 276.

- Hu Liena — Disciple whom she treats with maternal affection. Bibi Dong sends her with Xue Ke to the City of Slaughter 73 185 186.
- Qian Xunji — Former teacher, abuser, and Qian Renxue's father. Bibi Dong kills him and consumes his soul for her first Rakshasa trial 75 76.
- Qian Daoliu — Supported her appointment as Pope but restricted her authority. Despite improved relations with Qian Renxue, she still avoids meeting him directly 77 81 268.
- Yu Xiaogang — Former romantic attachment whose research she supported. Xue Ke's flower test forces her to reconsider whether her lingering feelings are love or obsession 76.
- Gu Yuena — A powerful member of Xue Ke's extended household. Bibi Dong accepts her demand to become the family matriarch because she cannot match her strength 227 228.

Story Role / Major Arcs

At the Papal Palace, she tests Xue Ke's resolve and demands a pledge of allegiance. Xue Ke's economic and publishing proposals win provisional approval. After watching her defeat members of the Golden Generation, however, Bibi Dong takes her into a secret chamber and attempts to kill her. The Life God King and Silver Dragon King intervene against the Rakshasa God's divine sense, preventing the attempt from succeeding 71 72 73 74 75.
Reconciliation and Adoption
Xue Ke subsequently approaches Bibi Dong through a conversation at the lakeside pavilion. This leads to a reunion with Qian Renxue after fourteen years apart. Their meeting escalates into a physical fight before Xue Ke exposes the circumstances of Qian Renxue's birth and helps them reconcile 76 77 78.
Bibi Dong publicly introduces Xue Ke to Martial Soul Hall's elders as her adopted daughter. She also personally trains her for several months, later acknowledging the need to balance demanding practice with rest 84 165.

- Summons Xue Ke and Dugu Yan to help the injured Xie Yue and Hu Liena; returns Dugu Bo's Medusa Skull during the visit 153.

- Sentences the hostile sect members to death and orders their bodies removed after the executions 163.

She later launches the operation against the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with a four-to-one numerical advantage. After its success, she orders rewards of 500,000 Gold Soul Coins for each participant and free healing for those still injured, then redirects attention toward the Heaven Dou and Star Luo empires 201 206.
Truth World Trials and the Snow Empress
Bibi Dong's heart assessment initially fails when a simulated Qian Renxue rejects her. On the next attempt, she brings in Xue Ke and openly confesses to killing Qian Xunji, allowing the mother-daughter conflict to be resolved within the assessment 210.
Her later trial takes her to the real Extreme North, where she fights the Snow Empress without seeking her Soul Ring. Their abilities are closely matched, and the encounter awakens the Snow Empress's interest in her 223 224.
Tasked with making the Snow Empress happy, Bibi Dong shares her life story and gives her books intended to broaden her horizons. The Snow Empress interprets the gift romantically.
