"I don't need it!!"
Bibi Dong's voice was cold to the extreme, a precursor to her sanity snapping.
"Don't need it?"
Nan Feng sneered, "Stop pretending. I've taken up residence in your Sea of Consciousness; I've seen your memory fragments. If you truly hated her to the bone, if you wished for her death, then why haven't you acted?"
"With your strength, to finish off a little girl with no ability to resist, you wouldn't even need to lift a finger—releasing a sliver of killing intent would be enough."
"You keep her, you watch her; you want to kill her, yet you can't bring yourself to do it. Since that's the case, you might as well let me help you utilize this value."
"Otherwise, if you truly want revenge on Qian Xunji, let's just swallow this little girl whole right now. Qian Xunji and that old man Qian Daoliu would go absolutely insane on the spot. That is the ultimate revenge. Do you dare?"
"I told you to shut up!!!"
Stung in her most painful spot, Bibi Dong completely lost her grip on reason.
It was the most secret, most untouchable scar deep within her heart, yet it had been bloodily ripped open by this foreign soul.
"Give my... body back!"
Hum—!!!
In the outside world, "Bibi Dong," who had been squatting in front of Qian Renxue with a gentle smile, suddenly erupted with a terrifying, ink-green aura.
It was the power of the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor!
Bibi Dong no longer cared about the consequences; she was going to forcibly reclaim control of her body, even if she had to pay the price!
"Damn it! Are you crazy?!"
Nan Feng was horrified.
He hadn't expected such a massive stress response from this woman. He was currently in control; if he were suddenly kicked offline while two diametrically opposed powers clashed within the body, it would cost them their lives!
"Don't mess around! Switching Martial Souls at a time like this will kill us!" Nan Feng gripped the control tightly, attempting to use the power of the Death Spider Emperor to suppress her, "I'm doing this for your own good!"
"Get out!!!"
Bibi Dong could no longer hear any explanation. The cold, domineering soul power of the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor surged like a maddened beast, rampaging through her meridians in an attempt to squeeze Nan Feng's soul out.
On one side, the Death Spider Emperor (Nan Feng); on the other, the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor (Bibi Dong).
Two top-tier Spider Emperor Martial Souls collided without reservation inside this delicate human frame!
Pfft—!
In reality.
Qian Renxue had not yet recovered from the shock of "Mother becoming gentle" when she saw the "Mother" before her turn deathly pale in an instant, her features twisted in agony.
Immediately following, a terrifying shockwave exploded from within her body, knocking the unsuspecting Qian Renxue flat onto the ground.
"Mo... Mother?"
Qian Renxue ignored the pain and scrambled up in terror.
She saw Bibi Dong's body trembling violently, a trail of bright red blood spilling from the corner of her mouth, her eyes rolling back, before she collapsed straight backward and fell into a dead faint.
"Mother!!!"
A shrill, childish cry instantly shattered the tranquility of the Saintess Hall.
Qian Renxue scrambled over, throwing herself onto Bibi Dong. Seeing that face, pale as paper, tears burst from her eyes.
"Someone! Come quickly!!"
"Mother has fainted!!"
Deep within the Sea of Consciousness.
Amidst the chaos.
Nan Feng rubbed his consciousness, which had nearly been shaken to pieces, and looked at Bibi Dong, who was in a similarly disheveled state and had fallen into a coma. He couldn't help but curse:
"Damn it, this woman is a total lunatic..."
"Great, now she's gone and crashed the system."
"However..."
"Although the process was a bit brutal, the effect seems even better than expected?"
"Little Qian Renxue crying so heartbreakingly to save her suddenly stricken mother. If this scene reaches the ears of Qian Daoliu..."
"This bit of a bitter-meat scheme gets full marks."
At the same time, a streak of icy blue light darted out from the shadows like a startled swan, instantly landing beside Qian Renxue.
The newcomer had the appearance of a youth, yet possessed long, pale hair. His left eye was covered by an eyepatch, and he held a divine bow that radiated an aura of extreme cold. It was none other than the Fifth Elder of the Martial Soul Hall, a level 96 peak Douluo, Guangling Douluo.
He had been ordered to protect Qian Renxue from the shadows. Because the incident had been so sudden and the aura emanating from Bibi Dong had been so bizarre, he hadn't dared to reveal himself immediately.
Guangling first nervously checked Qian Renxue from head to toe. Only after confirming that this little ancestor had merely been knocked over by the shockwave and suffered a few scrapes, without sustaining any internal injuries, did he let out a long sigh of relief.
"Fifth Grandpa, I'm fine... Quick! Quick, look at Mom!"
Qian Renxue couldn't spare the time to wipe away her tears. She gripped Guangling's sleeve tightly, pointing at Bibi Dong, who had collapsed on the ground, crying until her face was streaked with tears. "Mom suddenly fainted, and she spat out so much blood!"
"Alright, alright, don't panic, this old man will take a look."
Guangling offered a word of comfort, then flashed to Bibi Dong's side, placing two fingers on her wrist.
However, upon this inspection, the youthful face that had been relatively relaxed a moment ago instantly stiffened.
"What... what kind of monster is this?!"
The moment his soul power probed into Bibi Dong's body, two distinct yet equally tyrannical and terrifying forces nearly jolted his fingers away!
One was a purple-black soul power filled with the aura of death, while the other was a dark green soul power brimming with devouring and evil.
The two forces were locked in a frenzied battle within Bibi Dong's meridians, as if they were tearing her body apart to use it as a battlefield!
"Two types of soul power? Twin Martial Souls?!"
Guangling gasped, and what made his scalp tingle even more was that the intensity of these two forces was not the slightest bit weaker than his own!
"Level ninety-six?!"
Guangling's eyes widened, staring at Bibi Dong on the ground as if he had seen a ghost. "This woman... she's actually already reached the same realm as this old man?!"
Are you kidding me! How many years had he cultivated? How old was Bibi Dong?
A level ninety-six at under thirty years old?!
"Fifth Grandpa, what exactly is wrong with Mom?" Qian Renxue asked with a sob.
"The trouble is huge... These are two extremely powerful soul powers clashing within her body. Even this old man has never seen such a situation."
Guangling's brows were locked in a tight frown. This high-level crisis involving the backlash of Twin Martial Souls was clearly beyond his area of expertise. "We must call Big Brother. Only he might be able to make sense of such a bizarre occurrence."
"Quick! Call Grandfather!" Qian Renxue urged.
Guangling didn't waste any more words. He pulled his Light Feather Divine Bow to its full draw, and an ice-blue arrow, lacking even a physical form, shot into the sky, exploding into a brilliant ice flower above the Pope Palace.
Whoosh—! Whoosh—!
Just a few breaths later, two terrifyingly immense auras crossed over from the direction of the Pope Palace, instantly descending into the Saintess Hall garden.
The golden light receded, revealing the solemn figures of Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"What happened?"
The moment Qian Daoliu landed, his gaze locked onto the unconscious Bibi Dong and the weeping Qian Renxue, his brows furrowing deeply.
"Big Brother, look at this woman." Guangling pointed at Bibi Dong, his tone urgent. "Just now, she seemed to have lost her memory. She didn't even recognize little Xue'er, and she was acting like a completely different person—incredibly gentle. But before she could say much, she suddenly exploded and fainted."
"Memory loss?" Qian Daoliu was stunned.
Meanwhile, Golden Crocodile Douluo's attention was entirely captured by the soul power fluctuations radiating from Bibi Dong.
"This aura..."
Golden Crocodile Douluo stepped forward abruptly, his withered palm hovering above Bibi Dong to sense her for a moment, and then a look of having seen a ghost appeared on his wrinkled old face.
"Level ninety-six... How is this possible?!"
"How old is she this year? Not even thirty, right?!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo turned to look at Qian Daoliu, his voice slightly distorted. "Big Brother, even Tang Chen and you back in the day were nowhere near this level of cultivation at this age, were you?"
Qian Daoliu didn't speak, but the shock in his eyes was no less than Golden Crocodile's.
He stepped forward quickly, placing a hand on Bibi Dong's forehead, and poured his vast Angel soul power into her, attempting to calm the violent aura within her body.
"Hmph..."
As Qian Daoliu's soul power intervened, the two Spider Emperor soul powers "fighting" inside Bibi Dong seemed to sense an external enemy; they briefly stopped their brawl and united to produce a resistance against him.
"Big Brother, how is it?" Golden Crocodile asked.
"It's a mess, all a mess."
Qian Daoliu said in a deep voice, "She possesses Twin Martial Souls; Xunji once told me this secret. But Twin Martial Souls are a taboo in the soul master world. Once a soul ring is added to a second martial soul, it is extremely easy for the soul powers to clash, leading to death by explosion."
"She must have encountered some fortuitous event this past year, forcing her to add multiple high-age soul rings to her second martial soul, pushing her soul power all the way to level ninety-six."
"The power increased too quickly, her foundation is unstable, and coupled with the backlash of the Twin Martial Souls..."
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, a trace of pity flashing in his eyes, yet it was mixed with an inexplicable sense of relief.
"She has suffered a cultivation deviation."
"She is experiencing a backlash of soul power, which has led to a deranged mind and damaged memories."
"Grandfather..."
At this moment, Qian Renxue approached with red eyes, cautiously tugging at the corner of Qian Daoliu's robe. "Mom... she asked me who I was just now. Does she really not remember Xue'er anymore?"
Looking at his granddaughter's expectant eyes, Qian Daoliu's heart stirred slightly.
She doesn't remember?
If it were true... then it was truly a blessing from the heavens for Martial Soul Hall!
The hatred between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji had always been a thorn in Qian Daoliu's side.
Although Bibi Dong had appeared indifferent over these years, as if she had completely abandoned the past, he had always worried that once her strength grew, she would seek revenge or even threaten the stability of Martial Soul Hall.
But if she had lost her memories...
A Bibi Dong possessing the terrifying strength of a level 96 powerhouse, the talent of Twin Martial Souls, and a mind as blank as a sheet of paper, having forgotten all her hatred?
Was this not the most perfect weapon for Martial Soul Hall, and the most perfect mother for Xue'er?
Thinking of this, Qian Daoliu's tightly furrowed brows slowly smoothed out. He crouched down, gently patted Qian Renxue's head, and his tone became exceptionally kind:
"Don't be afraid, Xue'er."
"Your mother injured her brain from training too hard, which is why she has temporarily forgotten some things."
"Although Grandfather does not know how to resolve the conflict of Twin Martial Souls, I am still capable of suppressing such injuries and preserving your mother's life."
"As for the amnesia..."
"Perhaps... this is a good thing."
