Douluo Chat Group: They've All Gotten Addicted to Gossiping

[Loves Eating Carrots: Yay! Thank you, Group Leader brother!]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: Wait a minute? What is going on with you three? Are we also part of your little interaction now?]

Li Yuan's mouth twitched. In truth, agreeing to help Xiao Wu was a matter of necessity.

After all, as the Group Leader, one must maintain a sense of fairness.

If he helped the Big-Breasted Cat but ignored Xiao Wu, it would look like he was playing favorites. That would damage the lofty image he held in the hearts of the other members and hinder the group's unity.

Therefore, for the sake of maintaining harmony and promoting the early upgrade of the group chat, Li Yuan would just have to bear this "agony" in silence.

Sigh, this is truly a heavy burden for me!

[Child Without Parents: So, she... was actually forced by my father?]

Qian Renxue was Ice-Snow Smart.

She traced the chat history upward, from Bibi Dong's bone-deep hatred for Qian Xunji to her almost paranoid, "true love" defense of Yu Xiaogang...

Connecting these clues allowed her to see the bigger picture.

It was just that this answer was something she dared not confirm, or perhaps... something she refused to believe.

After all, in her limited memories, the image of her father, Qian Xunji, had always been so bright and upright.

[Li Yuan: The teacher's words are ignored, love is pure and sincere, the Martial Soul Hall must be betrayed, the Saintess is never prepared, and Gangzi must be married!]

[Li Yuan: Tell me, what else could your father, Qian Xunji, have done?]

The answer was laid bare before her.

These words were like a thunderbolt, exploding instantly in Qian Renxue's mind.

It hurt too much!

Qian Renxue's face turned deathly pale, and she let out a weak, miserable laugh: "No wonder you hate me so much..."

"So, I shouldn't have been born at all."

"Why did you bring me into this world... You should have just let me die!"

She slid down powerlessly onto the cold floor, hugging her knees tightly and burying her face deep within them.

Hot tears could no longer be suppressed, gushing out like a broken dam.

"Plop! Plop!"

The tears dripped onto the floor.

[Loves Eating Carrots: Um, what exactly happened? I didn't quite catch it. (Scratches head)]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: You really are too innocent. Can't you guess? It's obviously that thing...]

[Li Yuan: Forget it, I'll just say it plainly so you don't let your imaginations run wild.]

[That night, Qian Xunji entered the Pan Si Forest, stepped into the Spider Cave, and beat the spider spirit with a stick, forcing Bibi Dong to voluntarily bathe in the radiance of the angels. It is said that Qian Xunji played himself as the piece on the board and won half a move against heaven!]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: 666, what the hell is Pan Si Forest? Group Leader, you sure know how to describe things. And what's with this "voluntarily" nonsense?]

[Ice-Snow Smart: Hmm... how can one say it isn't? Isn't a forced "voluntary" act still voluntary?]

[Single Academy-Running Housewife: Incredible! Pan Si Forest, Spider Cave, pfft... Hahaha! (Fails to hold back laughter)]

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Liu Erlong had been in a heavy mood, but upon seeing Li Yuan's description, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Immediately realizing it wasn't appropriate, she quickly covered her mouth, though her shoulders continued to shake.

She couldn't hold it back—she absolutely couldn't!

Chapter 17: How Fragrant is a First-Hand Bibi Dong

Meanwhile, inside the Pope Palace.

Seeing the most secret, most wretched, and most blood-stained wound in the depths of her heart being dissected in public by Li Yuan, and having salt rubbed into it repeatedly, Bibi Dong's sanity finally snapped completely.

Her eyes turned blood-red, and she fell into a frenzy.

"Li Yuan, you deserve to die! Even if I killed you a thousand times, it wouldn't be enough!"

"I will sever your limbs, I will pierce your soul!"

The nine soul rings around Bibi Dong's body erupted simultaneously.

A terrifying pressure, like a tangible black tide, exploded from her and instantly swept through the entire Pope Palace.

It was so frightening that the cardinal who had just reached the door didn't even dare to enter to report the news.

[Li Yuan: What I find most unbearable is that Bibi Dong was willing to give everything for Yu Xiaogang, but what about our pretty boy, Yu Xiaogang?]

[After breaking up with Bibi Dong, he didn't spend many days in sorrow before turning around and getting together with the second victim, his cousin Liu Erlong! Now that is a real heavyweight!]

[Li Yuan: I can only say, a love-addled brain is truly terrifying! It harms others and oneself!]

However, in the very next second.

It left Bibi Dong completely stunned.

She had always believed that Yu Xiaogang was forced to separate from her, and that after struggling in agony for a long time, he had slowly healed his wounds over the long years before finally meeting Liu Erlong.

Yet she never expected that Yu Xiaogang had actually transitioned to a new relationship without a single gap!

Then what did all her pain, struggle, and hatred over these years... amount to?

Instantly, a feeling of being betrayed by the person closest to her rose from the depths of Bibi Dong's heart.

I clearly loved you so much, even willingly defying the teacher who raised me for years for your sake.

But you found a new lover in such a short time, so what does that make me?

A clown?

Pain, it hurts so much!

Bibi Dong closed her eyes, devastated, as two lines of clear tears uncontrollably slid down her beautiful yet pale cheeks.

At this moment, she felt as if her heart had been completely hollowed out, leaving behind only endless coldness and absurdity.

Wait, what is this "love-addled brain" anyway?

Although she didn't understand the term, based on the context, it was definitely not a compliment!

It made Bibi Dong so angry that the assets on her chest heaved and trembled violently.

She slammed the Pope Scepter heavily onto the ground, and a force like Mount Tai instantly radiated outward.

Outside the hall.

The red-robed bishop, who was just preparing to bite the bullet and knock on the door to report matters, was caught off guard and struck head-on by this force, flying over a dozen meters away.

With a "thud," he slammed into a pillar, and without even a groan, he passed out cold, entering a sleep as deep as an infant's.

Even the passing guards couldn't help but remark: "Youth is truly wonderful, falling asleep the moment one hits the ground."

(The mute period for the Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou has ended.)

[Loves Eating Carrots: Cousin? My goodness, do you big clan disciples play so wildly?]

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Hey, hey, don't talk nonsense! Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has very strict family values, okay! We big clan disciples aren't that perverted!]

[Big Cat in the Night: Uh... actually, that's not necessarily true. (Sweat-drop emoji)]

[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: Eww! I can only say, your circle is truly messy. However, it feels like this cousin Liu Erlong isn't a good person either; knowing he was her own cousin, she still managed to get together with him.]

[Single Academy-Running Housewife: Actually, this Liu Erlong isn't that bad. She and Yu Xiaogang never actually got together; back then, Liu Erlong just didn't know the other party was her cousin, which is why they almost got married.]

[Ice-Snow Smart: Hmm? So that's how it is... wait, how do you know so clearly?]

[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Yeah, yeah! Shouldn't this kind of thing be a very private family scandal? How do you know such details? (Curious baby)]

Blue Tyrant Academy.

Liu Erlong's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself, "Oh no."

Crap!

She had let it slip; what if someone discovered the clues?

Expose her identity?

Absolutely not!

Bibi Dong was still in the group!

Moreover, she had been at odds with her in the group just yesterday, mocking her fiercely.

As for why she wasn't afraid yesterday, it was because she felt it was worth it for Yu Xiaogang, that "true love."

Now?

Heh, die for a piece of trash like that?

She, Liu Erlong, wasn't that stupid!

Right, she could say she was a "friend" of Liu Erlong!

Liu Erlong's eyes lit up, praising herself for her wit.

She hurriedly calmed her mood, her fingers tapping rapidly on the "Brick."

[Single Academy-Running Housewife: I have a friend who knows Liu Erlong. Actually, she is a really good person—her personality is forthright and righteous, she is generous, and she is exceptionally beautiful, especially when she wears a black leather outfit; she looks heroic, spirited, and stunning!]

[Li Yuan: Hmm? Why does that sound... strange?]

A friend of mine?
