Douluo: Neighbor San Comes to My House to Use the Wi-Fi

"Dong'er, it's settled. Go ahead and do what you must; I've got your back," Nan Xuan said to Bibi Dong.

"Mm, thank you, Xiao Xuan," Bibi Dong replied from a room within Martial Soul Hall, expressing her gratitude.

The two exchanged a few brief words before ending the connection.

Inside Martial Soul Hall, in the secret chamber of Qian Xunji.

"Qian Xunji, it was right here that you tried to humiliate me all those years ago. Today is the day you die," Bibi Dong said with resentment, looking at Qian Xunji, who lay on the bed suffering from severe injuries.

After being gravely wounded, Qian Xunji had chosen to recuperate here, not wanting others to know that he had failed to defeat a single opponent despite having three people on his side. He never imagined that Bibi Dong would appear here.

Qian Xunji had woken up the moment Bibi Dong approached him. He was truly terrified; for someone he had once nearly destroyed, he was now completely defenseless in his injured state and stood no chance.

"Oh, Teacher, since you're awake, that makes things easier," Bibi Dong said, looking at him with a playful smile.

To Qian Xunji, what he saw now was not a smile, but a grim reaper coming to claim his life.

Bibi Dong didn't waste any more breath on him and directly summoned her martial souls: the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor.

The Death Spider Emperor martial soul spat out a web that enveloped Qian Xunji, and then began to slowly devour him.

"Ah, no! Please, I beg you, spare me!"

Bibi Dong paid no heed to Qian Xunji's pleas for mercy.

Seeing that she had no intention of stopping, Qian Xunji could only pin his final hopes on his father, Qian Daoliu of Douluo Hall.

"Don't bother. He won't come, because you aren't worth it," Bibi Dong said, then switched the martial soul she was utilizing.

The Soul-Eater Spider Emperor devoured his soul, and with it, his memories.

"A person like you truly deserves to die," Bibi Dong remarked, delivering her final judgment after consuming all his memories.

Bibi Dong pushed open the door to the secret chamber and took a deep breath. The burden that had weighed her down for so many years was finally resolved, and she felt a sense of relief.

After adjusting her state of mind, Bibi Dong headed toward the Pope Palace.

Inside the Pope Palace, a Title Douluo sent by Qian Daoliu stood before the gathered crowd and announced: "We have just received the obituary. Pope Qian Xunji has died from his wounds following his battle with Tang Hao."

As soon as the Title Douluo from Douluo Hall finished speaking, the entire Pope Palace erupted into chaos.

"Quiet! Furthermore, it is the will of the Grand Elder that the current Saintess of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, the sole disciple of Pope Qian Xunji, shall inherit the position of Pope."

After delivering the decree, the Title Douluo from Douluo Hall left immediately; he had no desire to stay there and deal with a pile of trouble.

Once the decree was read, Bibi Dong took her seat on the papal throne, wearing the crown and holding the scepter. An aura belonging to an empress radiated from her.

Looking at the still-disorderly crowd below, Bibi Dong released her soul power.

"This is... the soul power pressure of someone above level 90. If I'm not mistaken, she's only 24 years old," a Soul Saint said in astonishment.

The two Title Douluos, Gui and Ju, exchanged a glance, then knelt on one knee to show their respect, calling out to Bibi Dong: "We are willing to pledge our loyalty to Your Holiness the Pope."

With the two Title Douluos taking the lead, the others naturally found it difficult to hesitate any longer.

"We are willing to pledge our loyalty to Your Holiness the Pope."

Bibi Dong looked at all of this, a smile playing on her lips.

After handling the affairs here, Bibi Dong went to see Qian Renxue. She was the daughter of her enemy, but after being influenced by Nan Xuan's perspective on life, she no longer cared about such things.

"You are Xue'er, right?" Bibi Dong crouched down and asked gently, looking at the golden-haired girl before her.

Qian Renxue did not answer. She already knew her father was gone. Her mother was already gone, and now her father was too. At only seven years old, she felt truly helpless, her eyes red from crying.

Bibi Dong took her into her arms, then stood up and headed toward the Momo Treasure Appraisal House in the north of the city.

"Where are you taking me?" Qian Renxue knew this person wouldn't dare harm her, but she was still wary of just following a stranger.

"I'm taking you outside to see something, to meet a strange person," Bibi Dong said to her with a smile.

"Fine then. Besides, with my grandfather around, you wouldn't dare do anything to me anyway," Qian Renxue said, acting a bit spoiled toward Bibi Dong, not worried at all about her safety in Martial Soul City.

Bibi Dong just smiled at this and said nothing.

Watching from afar, Qian Daoliu felt a cold sweat. He hadn't been able to see through the man before, and now he couldn't even see through her. Xue'er, I hope you can behave yourself, otherwise, Grandfather really won't be able to protect you anymore.

Martial Soul City, north of the city.

Bibi Dong carried Qian Renxue to Nan Xuan's Momo Treasure Appraisal House.

"Huh? Why are we coming here?" Qian Renxue asked Bibi Dong, looking at the sign above the door with curiosity.

"Oh, Xue'er knows this place?" Bibi Dong was still somewhat surprised, as Nan Xuan hadn't been operating this business for seven years, and Qian Renxue was only seven now. How could she possibly know this?

"Yeah, the people outside say the boss here is very mysterious and is also the spokesperson for that 'Network World' in Martial Soul City," Qian Renxue said with a smile, looking as if she knew it all along.

As soon as she finished speaking, the door opened.

"You little girl, you actually know about the Network World? Do you have your own account too?" Nan Xuan pushed the door open, looking down with a smile at Qian Renxue, who was only as tall as his leg.

"Of course! When I was six, my father bought me a custom account card. It even has my martial soul pattern on it!" Qian Renxue looked at Nan Xuan with a proud expression.

Nan Xuan smiled and gestured for Bibi Dong to come in.

The three of them went to the second floor. Nan Xuan poured a drink for Bibi Dong and a glass of milk for Qian Renxue.

"You still haven't told me why you brought me here. The 'strange person' you mentioned wouldn't happen to be him, would it?" Qian Renxue still didn't know Bibi Dong's name, nor how she should address her, so she could only gesture with her eyes.

"Am I acting strange? I wasn't aware of it," Nan Xuan sat down and asked with a smile.

"I brought you here to help you clear your mind. I am your father's only student, and I have now inherited his position as Pope. As for him, he is just here to introduce you to the place. Your grandfather has already agreed to let me take you as my disciple, so he is your grandmaster," Bibi Dong said to Qian Renxue with a smile.

Qian Renxue held her milk cup with both hands, keeping her head lowered.

"What, do you think she's a bad person? That she stole everything that belonged to your father?" Nan Xuan joked.

Seeing Nan Xuan bring it up so directly, Bibi Dong was a little worried that the situation might spiral out of control, but she didn't expect Qian Renxue to react this way.

"No, I know that Father went to capture Tang Hao, one of the Haotian Twin Stars, along with his soul beast wife, and that my father was also..." As Qian Renxue spoke, her eyes began to well up with tears.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong hurriedly pulled her into her arms.

"Xue'er, do you want to see your father one more time?" Nan Xuan asked with a smile as he stroked Qian Renxue's head.

"Is that true?" Qian Renxue asked tremblingly.

"Of course it's true. If you don't believe me, let's go right now." Nan Xuan used his soul skill to pull them both into the Network World.

"You can pull us into the Network World at will... could it be that you are the God of the Network?" Qian Renxue covered her mouth in surprise and whispered, as if she had forgotten the purpose of coming here.

"Shh, this is a secret between us. You mustn't tell anyone else, okay?" Nan Xuan needed to gain Qian Renxue's trust, and to do that, he had to arrange something extraordinary.

"Not even Grandfather?" Qian Renxue asked weakly.

"Hmm, at least not for now. Maybe when you reach the level of a Title Douluo, you can," Nan Xuan flicked Qian Renxue's little nose and comforted her.

"I'm currently level 24. If I level up by... in a year," Qian Renxue calculated thoughtfully.

Watching such a cute Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. It was all the fault of that beast, her father; otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.

"Alright, stop calculating. Look at who that is in front," Nan Xuan interrupted Qian Renxue's planning and pointed to a light screen ahead.

Qian Renxue looked in the direction Nan Xuan pointed, and her eyes instantly turned red.

"Father, I miss you so much!" Qian Renxue shouted toward the light screen and then ran toward it.

As Qian Renxue embraced it, the light screen dissipated, revealing the appearance of Qian Xunji.

"Qian Xunji" did not speak; he simply picked up Qian Renxue and smiled.

After Qian Renxue finished pouring out everything she had to say, "Qian Xunji" dissipated not long after.

"Grandmaster, can you let me stay with Father a little longer?" Qian Renxue pleaded with Nan Xuan, her eyes full of anticipation.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue and said softly, "Xue'er, what is fake will always be fake. He has already left you, and naturally, he would want you to live every day happily, rather than living in endless longing for him."

Qian Renxue nodded, seemingly understanding yet still a bit confused.

Nan Xuan shook his head and smiled. With a wave of his hand, the three of them arrived in the Martial Soul City area within the Network World.

"Xue'er, look at that Male God Ranking List. Isn't the person in first place your father? And look at all these people below who are mourning him," Nan Xuan pointed to a magnificent portrait of Qian Xunji on a giant display screen, the only flaw being that it had been turned into a black-and-white photo.

"Pfft." Bibi Dong had been trying her best to hold back her laughter, but she really couldn't help it.

Fortunately, Qian Renxue's focus was not on her right now.

Qian Renxue stared blankly at her father's profile picture from when he participated in the Face-Sculpting Competition, now turned black and white. She felt that something was a bit off, but her father was indeed gone, yet she still felt that something was not quite right.

Nan Xuan watched Qian Renxue's bewildered expression and held back his laughter inside, but fortunately, he had practiced, so he didn't laugh out loud.

"Ahem, Xue'er, next time you miss your father, you can come here to see him," Nan Xuan adjusted his state and said to Qian Renxue.

"Mm, thank you, Grandmaster." Qian Renxue was very grateful to Nan Xuan for everything he had done for her; she had seen her father one last time, so she could consider it a life without regrets.

"Since that's the case, let's head back now," Bibi Dong said to the two of them.

Nan Xuan waved his hand, and they returned to the Momo Treasure Appraisal House.

"I never imagined that you were the God of the Network, Grandmaster. That's truly amazing," Qian Renxue praised Nan Xuan with innocent sincerity.

Nan Xuan stroked Qian Renxue's head and said with a smile, "You will be a god in the future, too. Remember to cultivate well with your teacher. If your cultivation results are good, I will arrange a special gift for you later."

"Really? Then I will definitely work hard on my cultivation, hee hee," Qian Renxue hugged Bibi Dong's leg and said with a smile.
