"Pfft!"
Bibi Dong nearly spat out a mouthful of blood.
A trace of indescribable embarrassment first flashed through her eyes, followed immediately by a chest full of fury.
What the fuck did he mean, everyone envied Brother Xunji?
Was that even something a human being would say?
You wanted the secret-room treatment too, huh?
I could see you already had a knack for it!
And who the hell was this General Yuwen? Was he that impressive?
Also, what did he mean by ranking me first?
Although Bibi Dong couldn't make sense of it, she knew at once that none of it could be anything good.
Her fair chest heaved in breathtaking curves as she prepared to type out a long, murderous reply.
[Child Without Parents: Wait, what? Group Leader, what do you want to do to my mom?!!! (gritting her teeth)]
Li Yuan: Yes, I do!
That single word, "Mom."
It suddenly left Bibi Dong in a daze.
That name... how long had it been since she last heard it from Qian Renxue?
In her memory, Qian Renxue had been nine then, on her last night before leaving for Heaven Dou.
Back then, Qian Renxue had joyfully brought her a birthday present. But what had she done?
Bibi Dong recalled how, under the influence of the Rakshasa divine sense, she had spent every day irritable and quick to anger. Whenever she saw Qian Renxue, she thought of Qian Xunji.
Not only had she casually thrown Qian Renxue's present onto the floor, she had also angrily told Qian Renxue never to call her Mom again.
From that moment on, Qian Renxue had never called her that even once.
And now, those memories lay far in the past.
Bibi Dong came back to herself, a warmth she didn't even notice quietly passing through her heart.
Looking at the message, she unconsciously curved her lips into a smile so faint and slight, yet undeniably real.
She deleted the message she had already typed and was about to send.
Taking a deep breath, Bibi Dong stood, walked to the door, and called out clearly, "Gui Mei, come in."
A dark figure silently appeared and dropped to one knee. "Your Holiness."
"Deliver a letter to Heaven Dou City for me tomorrow. Give it to... Xue Qinghe."
"Your Holiness, what should it say? Are you urging the young mistress to pick up the pace?"
Gui Mei showed no surprise, instead asking with practiced familiarity.
After all, over the years, this was hardly the first time Bibi Dong had sent him to urge Qian Renxue to hurry.
Bibi Dong's voice had grown much calmer, even carrying a gentleness she herself hadn't noticed. "There's no rush to decide the contents... I'll write it myself tonight."
"Yes!"
Gui Mei accepted the order and vanished soundlessly once more.
[Ice-Snow Smart: ???]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Group Leader... I really never thought you were that kind of person. I was wrong about you! (disgusted face)]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Ugh! Looks like I'd better keep my distance from this group from now on. There's a dog in here. (wary)]
[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: If the Group Leader is human, I'll eat shit!]
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: Despicable! Shameless! Filthy!]
[Big Cat in the Night: None of my beeswax.]
In the Star Luo Empire.
Although Zhu Zhuqing had stated that it had nothing to do with her, the chill in her eyes betrayed her thoughts.
Were all men under heaven the same?
[Li Yuan: Hey, hey, hey, stop getting the wrong idea! I'm only analyzing this from a realistic perspective! If any of you stood in Qian Xunji's position, facing a twin martial souls inheritor dead set on eloping with a key figure from an enemy faction, what would you do? Just watch her leave?]
[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: Fine. Much as I hate to admit it, that's true.]
[Single Academy-Running Housewife: Hmph, this is nothing. You haven't seen the darker things out there. Similar things, or even worse, are nothing at all to certain nobles and sects. They're just everyday fare.]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: I don't understand, but I'm deeply shocked.]
[Big Cat in the Night: So... that's how it is. (seemingly letting out a quiet sigh of relief)]
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: Hmph! In the end, isn't it because the leadership of your two great empires and those rotten nobles is so terrible? That's why so much darkness festers!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Your Spirit Hall is no better! You're all jackals from the same hill! You're all bad people!]
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: You! Do you dare tell me your real name? I'll tear that mouth of yours apart!]
Bring it on! Who's afraid of whom?
You thought I was afraid of you?
Xiao Wu was just about to give her name when she suddenly realized something was wrong.
[Loves Eating Carrots: Hey, why should I tell you? Bleh, bleh, bleh! I won't tell you. Seethe all you want!]
Seeing the two about to start arguing again, Li Yuan hurried to smooth things over.
[Li Yuan: Let it go, let it go! We're all family here. Don't fight!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Hmph! Who's family with this disciple of Bibi Dong's?]
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: As if I want to be in the same group as you.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: Then leave the group if you've got the guts.]
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: Why don't you leave? If you do, I'll admit you're impressive!]
[Loves Eating Carrots: I'm already impressive! Do I need you to "admit" it?]
Li Yuan rubbed his brow.
Why was this conversation... sounding more and more like an argument between elementary school kids?
[Ice-Snow Smart: Group Leader Brother, what did you mean by the "two gods of Spirit Hall" you mentioned earlier? Could you explain in detail?]
[Richest Little Heiress of Heaven Dou: Gods? What's that supposed to be?]
[Viper-Hearted Big Sister: I did hear my grandfather mention it once. Apparently, they're beings above Titled Douluos. They say that before a true god, even ten thousand Titled Douluos wouldn't be enough to put up a fight.]
[Loves Eating Carrots: I know a little. I heard... I heard my mom say that when a Soul Master cultivates to rank one hundred, they can break past mortal limits and become a god! Once they become a god, they can have an unlimited lifespan!]
[Single Academy-Running Housewife: Hmph, Spirit Hall really stepped in dog shit and struck it lucky, actually producing two gods.]
[Little Fox Who Loves Teacher Most: They're that powerful? Teacher, doesn't that mean our Spirit Hall will... unite the entire continent in the future? (excited)]
Hu Liena's casual remark was like a boulder hurled into a tranquil lake, instantly stirring up towering waves in the group.
Almost everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at the chat interface as they waited for Li Yuan's reply.
After all, these were two gods!
Supreme beings who transcended mortals and stood above every Soul Beast in the world.
And Spirit Hall had actually produced not just one such being, but two.
If even a Spirit Hall like that couldn't unite the world, they truly couldn't imagine who could.
[Li Yuan: Of course it couldn't, because a bug appeared in this world. The chosen one, Tang San, was possessed by an outer realm heavenly demon from another world, also named Tang San.]
[Li Yuan: On top of that, under the leadership of three love-brained idiot beauties, Spirit Hall played a heaven-blessed hand packed with trump cards into absolute ruin. Step by step, Spirit Hall declined until it was finally destroyed.]
Boom—!
Those few words struck harder than any of his previous revelations, dropping a mental bomb into everyone's mind.
At Spirit Hall.
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"How could my Spirit Hall be destroyed because of three idiot women? This is pure sensationalism!"
Bibi Dong cried out, losing her composure, her exquisitely beautiful face twisting.
In her fury, she hurled the Brick in her hand hard against the floor.
After a moment, when her anger subsided, she began pondering Li Yuan's words again.
At the very least, Spirit Hall could never decline under her leadership.
After all, she, Bibi Dong, possessed ample assets and grand vision, formidable strength, and could even become a god in the future. Surely she couldn't be one of those three idiot beauties?
In other words, was Li Yuan describing a more distant future?
And who was this chosen one, this outer realm heavenly demon Tang San, who could actually destroy Spirit Hall?
Could her future self have died?
At that moment, Bibi Dong's head was full of questions.
Just which three idiot women would the future Spirit Hall fall into the hands of?
"Could it be... Nana?"
Bibi Dong's brow furrowed tightly, but she immediately shook her head in denial. "No, impossible. I've personally taught Nana for years. She has an excellent disposition and outstanding talent, and she's already a standout among her peers. The word 'idiot' has nothing to do with her."
She absolutely refused to believe that the successor she had poured her heart and soul into raising could be an "idiot beauty."
