Background / History

Bibi Dong became Pope Qian Xunji’s disciple more than twenty years before she accepted Xu Yuan and Hu Liena. She assumed the position of Saintess over a decade before their admission and succeeded Qian Xunji as Pope after his death, five years before those events 21.

Her papacy is marked by a struggle with Great Consecrator Qian Daoliu. Although she controls the Pope’s administration, the Consecration Hall possesses enough strength and authority to block her military proposals. At the time her Hunting Soul Plan is rejected, she has held office for only five or six years, and her supporters remain weaker than Qian Daoliu’s consecrators 20 41.

Appearance

Bibi Dong is described as petite, exceptionally beautiful, and youthful-looking; Old Jack is startled to discover that the young-looking woman before him is the Pope 21 87.

• Features: Fair skin, red lips, and expressive eyes that curve into crescents when she smiles 7 21.
• Public presentation: Formal papal attire, a crown, and an upright, dignified bearing during official meetings 20.
• Private presentation: Loose casual clothing and relaxed postures, including resting her crossed legs on her study desk 21.
• Ceremonial appearance: A magnificent outfit and the Pope Scepter when addressing the Origin Team before the elite tournament 93.

Personality

Bibi Dong’s private behavior sharply contrasts with her public dignity. At her first meeting with Xu Yuan, she abruptly moves behind him, pinches his cheeks, and laughs mischievously. In council, she instead presents herself as a composed sovereign and berates officials for nearly half an hour over a security failure 7 20.

She is ruthless and willing to endanger valuable talent for political advantage. Following the Evil Spirit Master incident, observers regard Xu Yuan and Hu Liena as tools in her struggle with Qian Daoliu. Xu Yuan later concludes that she almost certainly planted the attackers herself, though this remains his inference rather than an explicit confession 21 23.

Her affection for her disciples is nevertheless practical as well as personal. She teaches them carefully, examines Xu Yuan’s cultivation foundation, and assigns powerful escorts to protect him. When he returns after losing two Archbishop guards, delight at his advancement quickly outweighs her anger over the missing personnel 21 46 84 86.

Bibi Dong openly despises imperial nobles. She praises Xu Yuan for killing Xue Celou and defends the execution under Tianxing City’s laws. Despite briefly suggesting a betrothal between Xu Yuan and Hu Liena, she immediately objects to her own idea, saying that she hates forced interference in romantic affairs 40.

Her reaction to Qian Renxue’s rebellion is similarly mixed: she resents the collapse of a long-running plan but is pleased that her daughter has learned to make independent decisions and take control of her fate 109.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Xu Yuan’s Recruitment and the Security Purge

Bibi Dong first meets Xu Yuan after Yue Guan brings him to Spirit Hall. She approves his academy enrollment and asks Yue Guan to teach him when possible 7.

After Evil Spirit Masters attack Xu Yuan and Hu Liena inside Spirit City, she recalls Yue Guan from a mission and convenes a high-level inquiry. The resulting punishments weaken Qian Daoliu’s administrative influence 19 20 21.

Decision	Result
Dismiss the Palace Guard Knights commander	Removes him from all duties 20.
Demote the Law Enforcement Hall head	Reduces him to deputy and merges his office into the Punishment Hall 20.
Warn the Punishment Hall head	Issues a formal warning for the security failure 20.
Appoint Yue Guan to lead the Law Enforcement Hall	Places her confidant in an office previously controlled by Qian Daoliu’s faction 20 21.
Execute personnel implicated in the case	Orders execution without exception 20.
Accept Xu Yuan and Hu Liena as disciples	Compensates them for the danger and follows the appointment with a week of personal instruction 21.

Hunting Soul Plan and Heaven Dou Compensation

Following Xue Celou’s death, Bibi Dong presents the Hunting Soul Plan: eradicate the Seven Great Sects, then use Spirit Hall’s full strength against the two great empires. Yue Guan urges caution, and Qian Daoliu’s faction rejects the proposal at the general assembly, forcing her to shelve it 40 41.

She then orders a public notice accusing Heaven Dou of attempting to kill Spirit Hall’s future successor. The notice portrays Xu Yuan as critically injured, rather than accurately describing the confrontation, and threatens a crusade against the empire 38 41.

Her subsequent demands include:

• At least one ten-thousand-year spirit bone 43.
• A heavenly treasure capable of restoring cultivation foundation and nourishing essence 43.
• At least five million Gold Soul Coins for Xu Yuan’s alleged trauma 43.
• Ten million Gold Soul Coins for alleged damage to ancient buildings 43.

Heaven Dou agrees to pay compensation. Bibi Dong uses the settlement to address Spirit Hall’s urgent financial needs and strengthen its future independence 44.

Protecting Her Disciple

When Xu Yuan seeks his second spirit ring, Bibi Dong assigns Gui Mei as his escort and personally verifies that his rapid cultivation has not weakened his foundation 46.

After Xu Yuan’s later disappearance, she reprimands his lack of discipline but becomes delighted upon learning that he has reached the four-ring Soul Ancestor stage. She sees his cultivation speed as a route to restarting her blocked military plan within seven years 84.

She initially refuses his next request to travel. Once he explains that he intends to visit the heavily guarded Slaughter Town area, she permits the trip with Gui Mei, over a dozen Red-Clad Bishops, and several Archbishops 86.

Elite Tournament and Holy Pool Training

Bibi Dong places the elite tournament finals in Martial Soul City and raises the championship prize to five spirit bones. She orders the Origin Team to win and warns them against complacency 93.

She accepts Qian Daoliu’s offer of Holy Pool training, then sends Yue Guan and Gui Mei to obtain the team’s new spirit rings. For additional security, she requests hidden protection from Qian Jun and Falling Devil 94.

When intelligence exposes at least twelve spies monitoring the team’s departure, she does not immediately intervene; instead, she waits to see which enemies will take the bait. She later responds flatly to news of Xu Yuan’s divine inheritance, without showing concern that Qian Daoliu might win his loyalty 95 105.

Qian Renxue’s Rebellion

The original Heaven Dou infiltration scheme targeted something controlled by the imperial family in connection with Sea God Island. Spirit Hall’s earlier attempted landing on the island had failed after Sea Soul Beast attacks reduced its expedition by nearly sixty percent 109.

Qian Renxue abandons the predetermined approach and launches a rebellion. Emperor Xue Ye escapes, ruining a plan more than a decade in the making. Bibi Dong is angered by the failure but pleased by her daughter’s willingness to reject passive obedience 109.

Trivia

• Despite disliking Qian Daoliu, she privately acknowledges the Holy Pool’s effectiveness while referring to it as his family’s “ancestral bathhouse” 94.
