Qian Renxue's Self-Reproach

"Yes, Xiao Xue is very brave."

"By the way, have you and your friends been honest with each other?"

"I confessed."

She then recounted everything that had just happened.

After saying that, Qian Renxue lowered her eyes and said, "Mom, I feel like I'm useless."

"Everyone is working so hard, but I can't help at all."

"I was right there when my dad was stabbed through the heart, just watching helplessly, unable to do anything."

Her voice choked, and tears welled up again.

"I am Eight-Winged Angel Martial Soul, I am Soul King, I am my father and mother's daughter, but I can't save anyone."

"Mom, am I really useless?"

Bibi Dong tightened her arms, holding Qian Renxue tightly in her embrace, and gently patted Qian Renxue's back with her right hand.

After Qian Renxue calmed down, she said gently, "Xiao Xue, listen to what your mother has to say."

"You saved your grandfather; you used your Angel Soul Power to expel his Dark Divine Power and sustain his life."

"You didn't do nothing; you protected an important person on the battlefield."

"You didn't back down or run away even when facing a god."

How did Mom know?

"The first one is what I saw, the second one is what I guessed."

After saying that, she released Qian Renxue, cupped her face in her hands, and wiped away the tears on her cheeks with her thumbs.

"You are already very good, better than anyone else."

"You protected everyone you could protect; the rest is what a mother should do."

Qian Renxue stared blankly at her mother.

Bibi Dong's eyes gleamed with a gentle light in the dim room.

Qian Renxue felt a lump in her throat and buried her face in Bibi Dong's neck.

"But, can Dad really come back?"

He will come back.

"Your father is the most trustworthy person."

"Um."

The mother and daughter remained silent. Bibi Dong did not loosen her grip, and Qian Renxue did not break free.

The mother and daughter stayed close together until Qian Renxue's breathing gradually calmed down.

She fell asleep, finally asleep in her mother's arms.

Bibi Dong gently stroked Qian Renxue's cheek.

She lowered her head and gently kissed Qian Renxue's forehead, then looked up at Qian Xunji's pale profile on the bed.

"You two are my darlings."

"If you can't come back alive, I'll go to the Divine Realm Divine Realm try to find a way. Even if I can't come down from there, I don't care."

After a period of silence, the door to the sleeping quarters was pushed open again.

Bibi Dong looked over at the sound and saw Liu Xiulan carrying a bowl of hot soup at the front, Bi Dashan holding Bi Xiaoxiao's hand, and Hu Liena and Xie Yue at the back.

Liu Xiulan walked to the bedside and looked down at Qian Xunji's pale face.

"Dong'er, how is Xunji...?"

"The Divine Light Power within my body is still circulating, Torso Bone are repairing my heart, but I don't know how long that will take."

Bi Dashan stood at the foot of the bed, watching his son-in-law lying motionless on the bed, his fists clenching and unclenching.

"It's good that I can live, it's good that I can live."

Bi Xiaoxiao peeked out from behind Bi Dashan.

She looked at her uncle lying on the bed with his eyes closed, then let go of Bi Dashan's hand, walked up to Bibi Dong, looked up at her, and asked softly, "Auntie, where's my dad? When will he be back?"

Bibi Dong lowered her eyes and looked at Bi Xiaoxiao's eyes, which were exactly the same as Bibi Xi's.

"I'll figure something out."

"He is your father, and also my brother."

"Yes, Dad and Uncle will be fine."

"Of course." Bibi Dong ruffled her hair.

At this moment, Bibi Dong noticed the two children.

She looked up and waved to them. "Nana, Xie Yue, come here."

The brother and sister exchanged a glance, then tiptoed up to Bibi Dong.

Hu Liena stood before Bibi Dong, raising her head to look at the pope dressed in plain clothes, stripped of all makeup and majesty.

"Teacher."

"Nana, have you been a good girl?"

"Yes," Hu Liena answered softly, "My brother and I cook porridge together, and I also help wash the dishes."

Bibi Dong reached out and gently patted Hu Liena's head. "Thank you, Nana, you did a great job, you were a big help."

Hu Liena blushed slightly and lowered her head, unsure of what to say.

Bi Dashan, "These two children are very obedient, and we like them very much. On the contrary, we are not as good as these two children."

These past two days, I've been grieving over Bibi Xi's death. Even Qian Renxue couldn't help me, so in the end, I sent Ling Yuan to find her.

They stayed home to look after the children and care for Bibi Xi's body.

"Mom and Dad, when Xunji and Xiao Xi wake up, I want to eat your cooking."

"Okay, of course."

Inside the Heaven Dou Commander's tent, Prince Xue Xing was holding a cup of cold tea, staring blankly at the tent curtain.

The army outside the tent had already mostly deserted, leaving only a few guards who were still bewilderedly guarding the camp.

When he heard footsteps, he thought it was the patrolling guards returning, until the Soul Douluo commander guarding the door was kicked away, his entire body passing through the tent flap and crashing onto the carpet in the center of the tent. He groaned and passed out.

Xue Xing suddenly stood up and placed her hand on the sword at her waist.

Xue Ye sat in the main seat, motionless.

He watched as the tent flap was lifted, and several figures walked in one after another.

Qian Daoliu walked at the front, with Golden Crocodile Douluo and Mighty Lion Douluo following behind.

Next are Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong.

Xue Ye's gaze met Qian Daoliu's. He slowly stood up and bowed slightly to Qian Daoliu.

"Your Angel Douluo"

Qian Daoliu flashed over and grabbed Xue Ye by the neck, lifting him off the ground.

Xue Ye's face flushed red, and her feet kicked instinctively as they dangled in mid-air.

Xue Xing's hand gripping the sword hilt trembled; he pulled the sword out three inches before forcefully pushing it back in.

"Tell me, who is this so-called 'God Lord' that woman spoke of? And what are her plans afterward?"

Despite being choked in the Xue Ye, his expression held a calm acceptance of death. "The victor is king, the loser is villain. Even if I said it, I'd still die."

"You seem to understand things quite well." Qian Daoliu his grip, Xue Ye slumped back into his chair, clutching his neck and coughing violently.

Xue Xing tried to help him up, but he stopped her by raising his hand.

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back. "If you tell me everything you know, I can spare the life of your Xue Family."

"You swear."

"I swear by your Martial Soul, by your Angel God Divine Position."

"Your promise, Qian Daoliu, is known throughout the continent as a golden brand—you swear it, and I'll say it."

Qian Daoliu stared at him coldly, then raised his right hand.

"I, Qian Daoliu, swear by my Angel Martial Soul and Angel God Divine Position that if Xue Ye answers my questions truthfully, I will spare the Xue Family's life and will not take the life of any member of the Xue clan."

"If I break this oath, may my Martial Soul shatter."

After saying that, Qian Daoliu withdrew his hand. "Speak."
