Bibi Dong remained motionless, as if she did not see Qian Xunji at all.
Last time, she had sworn that she would no longer be submissive to Qian Xunji, unless he allowed her to leave this damned Underground Palace.
Qian Xunji frowned slightly and questioned, "What is it, Bibi Dong? Have you forgotten how to behave again?"
Hearing Qian Xunji's interrogation, Bibi Dong still felt a flicker of fear. She said sullenly, "Teacher, you clearly promised that as long as I listened to you, you would let me leave this place."
"Six years, it has been six whole years!"
"I have considered myself obedient to you in every way, so why are you unwilling to let me leave?"
"Could it be that you never intended to let me go, and want to keep me imprisoned for the rest of my life?"
"Teacher, I trusted you so much; why did you deceive me?"
"Why?" Bibi Dong's tears streamed down. Two parts were genuine emotion, and eight parts were acting; it was both a plea for Qian Xunji's pity to escape the Secret Chamber and a test of his intentions.
"Bibi Dong, is this how you show your obedience to me?"
"You truly disappoint me!"
"I had intended to let you leave the Underground Palace after today, but it seems there is no need for that now." Qian Xunji's face turned cold. He snorted softly and walked toward the door, wanting to see how Bibi Dong would react.
Bibi Dong watched Qian Xunji's retreating back, unable to distinguish between his true feelings and his ruse. But the opportunity was right before her eyes; for the sake of freedom and revenge, she had to grasp it firmly.
Regardless of whether it was real or fake.
"Teacher, I was wrong. I shouldn't have lashed out at you. Please don't go, give me one more chance." Bibi Dong scrambled forward on her hands and knees, catching up to Qian Xunji in a few strides. She hugged his thigh, her face drenched in tears.
Heh, you little thing, trying to play games with me.
Qian Xunji felt smug inside; he knew exactly what Bibi Dong wanted and what she was planning.
Even the smallest glimmer of hope would be infinitely magnified in Bibi Dong's mind, and she would naturally be willing to swallow her pride for it.
"You know you were wrong?" Qian Xunji turned his head to look at Bibi Dong, his expression still grim.
Bibi Dong hurriedly replied, "Teacher, I truly know I was wrong. I know I shouldn't have doubted you or made you angry. Let me help you cool off."
Qian Xunji's belt fell to the floor, and his robes fluttered in the air.
Bibi Dong was working diligently to help Qian Xunji vent his fire.
Qian Xunji once again hit the bullseye, pinning his hopes on the performance of multiple rounds to ensure Bibi Dong would conceive his child.
His cultivation had not made any progress for quite some time.
He wanted to improve too badly.
For this reason, Qian Xunji decided to go for another round.
Bibi Dong obediently leaned against Qian Xunji, still fantasizing that he might let her leave the Secret Chamber and restore her position as the Saintess.
Because only by regaining the position of Saintess could she possibly leave Martial Soul City and head to Slaughter City to obtain the inheritance of the Rakshasa God.
Only by becoming a god could she be free from the fear of Qian Xunji, the Qian Family, and Martial Soul Hall, and do as she pleased.
Although Qian Xunji had also received the recognition of a deity, how strong could a god who relied solely on fathering children to ascend really be?
He could only fool a naive woman like Leng Lingyuan. Once she became the Rakshasa God, she would surely be able to crush Qian Xunji completely.
"Teacher, when will you let me leave the Secret Chamber?" Bibi Dong asked with expectant eyes. This time, she had learned to be clever; she had to make Qian Xunji give a specific time so she could judge whether he truly intended to let her go.
Qian Xunji answered irrelevantly, "Dong'er, do you know? You hesitated when you apologized."
"It shows that in your heart, you still do not trust me and you hate me."
"Since that is the case, how could I possibly let you leave this place so easily?"
"Dong'er, you disappoint me too much."
"For the sake of a Yu Xiaogang, you not only want to oppose me but also defect from Martial Soul Hall."
"Do you know that everything I am doing now is to save you?"
"Do you really think that if you and Yu Xiaogang left Martial Soul Hall together, you could escape the pursuit of Martial Soul Hall?"
"Once you returned to Martial Soul Hall, you would be dead. Even if I didn't deal with you, the other elders and titled Douluo would force me to dispose of you."
"Not only are you ungrateful, but you also resent me. You have truly chilled your teacher's heart."
"Teacher, I didn't, I don't hate you." Bibi Dong denied it immediately, though in reality, her hatred was sky-high.
Damned Qian Xunji, doing this for my own good?
You are truly laughable!
It took you five or six years to find Tang Hao and Ah Yin, and you still haven't found them.
If I really had the chance to leave Martial Soul City with Xiaogang, do you really think that bunch of idiots under your command could find us?
You want me to be grateful to you?
Delusional!
I will only hate you!
I hate you to death!
It is just a pity for my Xiao Gang, still foolishly and stubbornly waiting for me.
Qian Xunji naturally did not believe Bibi Dong's nonsense, but there was no need to expose her; after all, watching Bibi Dong's current appearance of aggrieved submission was truly extremely amusing.
Of course, Qian Xunji certainly would not give Bibi Dong the exact time she wanted.
He continued, "Dong'er, you may only take what I give you; you cannot forcefully demand what I do not give."
"Behave well, and one day you will leave the Underground Palace. I have no intention of locking you here for a lifetime." Qian Xunji affectionately rubbed Bibi Dong's head, intending to leave.
Damn Qian Xunji, that phrase again.
Bibi Dong had already realized that it was highly probable Qian Xunji never intended to let her leave the Secret Chamber at all, but instead planned to have her bear children for a lifetime.
But even though Bibi Dong knew this, she dared not confront Qian Xunji, for she was not yet prepared to have a falling out with him.
For now, she could only endure.
As for leaving the Underground Palace, she would have to think of another way.
Perhaps she could go through these handmaidens.
Bibi Dong looked toward the handmaidens who took care of her daily, a new idea forming in her mind.
Qian Xunji walked through the corridors of the Underground Palace, deciding to spend time alone with Xiao Rou tonight to ensure she conceived his child as soon as possible.
He was truly very curious: would the offspring of a human and a Soul Beast really be born with innate full soul power of level ten?
Of course, what Qian Xunji said to Bibi Dong was not entirely a deception.
He really would let Bibi Dong leave the Underground Palace, leave Martial Soul City, and go to Slaughter City.
He was no longer satisfied with Bibi Dong merely being a Limit Douluo; he needed Bibi Dong to attain the status of the Rakshasa God and bear his children for eternity.
Of course, there was one prerequisite: by the time he let Bibi Dong leave Martial Soul City, he must have already become a deity himself.
After leaving the Underground Palace, Qian Xunji went directly to find Xiao Rou.
Leng Lingyuan had given her a separate room, right next to Xue Ying's.
"Master, you are so wicked."
"Does Xiao Rou like it?"
"Mm, I like it."
Seven days later.
Xiao Rou confirmed she was pregnant.
Truly, this was good news.
Ten months later, Qian Xunji would be able to make progress once again and would finally know the answer he had always wanted.
