Background / History
Academy years and Nan Xuan
Bibi Dong receives exceptional treatment at the academy, but her intimidating aura keeps other students at a distance. Nan Xuan sits beside her without fear and asks to cultivate with her. Initially, she suspects that her teacher has sent him to supervise her; she later realizes that he simply enjoys her company 3 4 6.
Their friendship develops into a romantic relationship, which they confirm at age eleven. Although she becomes increasingly ambitious, Nan Xuan promises to support her choices, including her desire to become Pope 7.
Concerned about his safety as a support-type soul master, she joins his fourth-ring hunt as a teaching assistant. She stops Kelse from interrupting Nan Xuan's absorption of a 5,500-year ring and accompanies him to Iron Box Village. There, she meets his grandfather and accepts his marriage proposal 9 10 11.
Confinement and escape
Qian Xunji disapproves of her relationship with Nan Xuan and orders her confined to her courtyard. Nan Xuan's Network World allows them to continue meeting despite the restriction 11 12.
After obtaining her fifth spirit ring, Bibi Dong returns to Martial Soul Hall and is attacked by her teacher. Nan Xuan detects the danger through her ring, interferes with the attacker through a fabricated mental space, and arranges her escape. The encounter exposes her teacher's predatory intentions and leaves her deeply distressed; she and Nan Xuan flee to Holy Soul Village 13.
During their years there, the immediate effects of the trauma diminish, but her determination to kill Qian Xunji remains. She refuses to abandon her ambitions for a secluded life and plans to enter Slaughter City to strengthen herself 14.
Slaughter City
Before her departure, Nan Xuan places spiritual imprints on both martial souls and stores soul power and spiritual power in her ring. These preparations protect her against the erosion of slaughter aura and provide reserves she can replenish 15.
Bibi Dong wins thirty-nine Hell Slaughter Arena matches, eventually completes one hundred, and chooses to traverse the Hell Road. She uses Nan Xuan's compressed mental power to disorient attacking bats and successfully escapes. After approximately a year apart, she reunites with him 16 18.
Revenge and accession as Pope
Following Qian Xunji's defeat by Tang Hao, Nan Xuan persuades Qian Daoliu to permit Bibi Dong's revenge and succession. She confronts the injured Qian Xunji in his secret chamber, restrains him with the Death Spider Emperor, and uses the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor to consume his soul and memories 22 23.
Martial Soul Hall publicly attributes Qian Xunji's death to his battle injuries. Bibi Dong inherits the papal throne by the Grand Elder's decree and secures the allegiance of Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo. Rather than transferring her hatred to Qian Xunji's daughter, she comforts Qian Renxue and accepts her as a disciple 23.
Devouring Qian Xunji also earns her recognition from the Rakshasa God. She tells Nan Xuan about the offer, and he encourages her to pursue it cautiously rather than trust the deity without reservation 24.
Administration, retirement, and conflict
As Pope, Bibi Dong monitors the Clear Sky Sect's commercial activity and gives Chrysanthemum Douluo instructions to investigate its goods without excessive surveillance. The demands of administration repeatedly delay her divine trials 57 77.
She publicly acknowledges her relationship with Nan Xuan by walking hand in hand with him through Martial Soul City, attracting widespread attention in the Network World. After the Spirit Master Tournament, she orders Tang San intercepted and awards the victorious Network Holy City team its prizes 78 80 81.
By the time her divine trials reach their sixth stage, she has retired from daily administration, with Hu Liena reporting Martial Soul Hall affairs to her. Her focus shifts to cultivation and family life 85 91.
She later accompanies Nan Xuan in hunting Xiao Wu for a spirit ring. Her Spider Emperor Clone attack gravely wounds Tang San, prompting Xiao Wu to sacrifice herself for him. Bibi Dong continues attacking, but the Sea God's intervention prevents her from finishing the confrontation. Recognizing the threat posed by divine power, she resolves to return to seclusion 92 93.
Godhood and later life
Bibi Dong completes the Rakshasa inheritance and subsequently manifests her godhood alongside Qian Renxue during the confrontation with Tang San 114 116.
She remains part of Nan Xuan's family during their travels aboard the Space Travel Island. Exposure to other worlds broadens her political perspective, and she continues watching for threats even during prolonged periods of peace 130 141 157.
Ten thousand years into their relationship, she tells Nan Xuan that her affection has not diminished. He identifies her as his first love and assures her that her place in his heart will not change 171.
Appearance
- Childhood: Approximately 120 centimeters tall, with dark pink hair and a purple dress 4.
- At seventeen: 178 centimeters tall, with a heart-shaped face, long dark pink hair, and a curvaceous figure 12.
- Papal attire: Wears a crown and carries a scepter upon taking the throne; her presence is described as empress-like 23.
- Formal clothing: Attends the Network Center barbecue in a light purple evening gown 71.
- Disguises: Uses a mask and black tracksuit when attempting to leave Martial Soul City discreetly 12.
Personality
Bibi Dong is strong-willed and ambitious. Her love for Nan Xuan does not erase her desire for authority or personal strength, and she is willing to leave him temporarily to train in Slaughter City. She also questions whether their rapid cultivation is stable rather than accepting its benefits uncritically 7 14.
Her public demeanor is cold and authoritative, while her private behavior is affectionate, teasing, and sometimes shy. She worries about Nan Xuan's safety, initially refuses valuable herbs because she thinks he should use them himself, and fears that his cultivation assistance might be costing him his own strength 9 12 20 91.
She can be compassionate toward children without extending the same mercy to enemies. Nan Xuan's influence helps her separate Qian Renxue from her father's crimes, but she remains ruthless when pursuing Xiao Wu's spirit ring or confronting Tang San 23 92 93.

Continuity Notes
- Teacher identity in the escape scene: Chapter 13 names the attacking teacher as Qian Daoliu, while surrounding chapters identify Qian Xunji as her teacher and the target of her revenge. Chapter 23 explicitly attributes the attempted humiliation to Qian Xunji 12 13 14 23.

- Eighth-ring distinction: The Shadow Ghost Tiger supplies the Death Spider Emperor's eighth ring. The later hunt for Xiao Wu also seeks an eighth ring, but Xiao Wu sacrifices herself to Tang San instead 19 92 93.
