Bibi Dong had never imagined that one day, Qian Xunji would become so ferocious.
She felt like a lone boat tossed upon a sea whipped into a frenzy by a storm, on the verge of capsizing or losing consciousness at any moment.
Yet, to gain Qian Xunji's trust, she could not say no; she could only do her utmost to cater to him, even if it meant fainting from the exertion.
As for death?
Bibi Dong knew clearly that Qian Xunji would never let her die.
She understood Qian Xunji far too well.
This violent storm lasted until deep into the night.
Bibi Dong was utterly exhausted.
She lay limp beside Qian Xunji.
Twirling a lock of Bibi Dong's hair, Qian Xunji spoke slowly: "Dong'er, you have performed well over these years. You have borne me three daughters, and I have seen it all."
Bibi Dong was inwardly startled; she had not expected Qian Xunji's attitude to shift today, to the point of offering her praise.
A slap followed by a sweet date?
Unfortunately, she was no longer the innocent girl she once was.
She would not fall for Qian Xunji's tricks.
However, she still had to maintain her facade, so Bibi Dong replied with a smile: "Being able to make Teacher happy is Dong'er's greatest joy."
"Dong'er, I intend to let you leave the Secret Chamber. After all, these years have been hard on you, staying in this place devoid of light."
"I trust that the lessons of these years have made you deeply realize your mistakes, and that you will not repeat them in the future."
"Teacher, are... are you saying you will let me leave the Secret Chamber?" The surprise came so suddenly that it caught Bibi Dong off guard; she was terrified that this was merely a whim of Qian Xunji's, nothing more than a beautiful dream.
Leaving the Secret Chamber was the thing she had dreamed of most!
"Is Dong'er unwilling to leave?", Qian Xunji asked in return.
This put Bibi Dong in a difficult spot. She felt that Qian Xunji must have some ulterior motive, but for the sake of freedom, she decided to give it a try.
She said tremulously: "Dong'er will listen to everything Teacher says. If Teacher wants me to leave, I will leave; if Teacher wants me to stay, I will stay."
"Dong'er, let us go. I am not teasing you this time. It is time for you to leave this place and see your three daughters."
"They have the right to know about what happened back then.", Qian Xunji looked at the wall, his gaze distant. To possess the Rakshasa God, there must be sacrifices, must there not?
As for the outcome, it would depend on the choices the three of them made in the future, and how clever they were.
There was no need to worry about Qian Renxue.
During the year he had been away, Qian Renxue had undergone certain changes; her soul had been tainted with divinity, causing it to evolve toward the nature of a divine soul.
Along with it came a faint, inherent hatred.
However, this hatred was not directed at him, but at Bibi Dong.
Qian Xunji had guessed at a certain possibility, though it still required confirmation in the shadows.
Of course, he did not pry for the bottom of the truth.
He trusted that when Qian Renxue wanted to tell him, she would confess everything of her own accord.
And the reason he could see through everything was, naturally, because he had become a god.
There was no need to worry about the gods of the God Realm; the distinction required such meticulous scrutiny that one would have to observe from a very close distance to notice the clues.
As for Qian Renxue's soul transformation, they would only attribute it to the favor of the Angel God.
"Teacher, that you can trust Dong'er again... Dong'er is truly moved to tears."
"Please rest assured, Dong'er will never make such mistakes again. I will strive to be a good mother to Xiao Xue, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Hui, and a submissive woman to Teacher."
Hearing that Qian Xunji was truly going to let her out, Bibi Dong became somewhat incoherent, her heart bursting with excitement:
Hahaha, Qian Xunji has finally let me leave this damned place.
He must have lost his mind!
He even wants me to grow close to Qian Renxue, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renhui, to be their mother.
In his dreams!
I wish these three little beasts would just die!
In Bibi Dong's eyes, Qian Renxue, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renhui were nothing but stains upon her life.
She should have been raising children with Xiao Gang; that was the path she was meant to take!
But then again, coming into contact with the three little beasts did provide her with an opportunity.
After all, to become the Rakshasa God, one needed to initiate the Rakshasa God Trials, and to initiate the Rakshasa God Trials, one needed to devour those favored by the Six-Winged Angel.
Bibi Dong dared not even think of targeting Qian Daoliu or Qian Xunji; after all, both were Limit Douluo, and not people she could scheme against at her current level.
The only people she could currently scheme against were Qian Renxue, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renhui.
At the very least, it was certain that Qian Renxue had awakened the Six-Winged Angel.
As for the other two, she would need to leave the Secret Chamber to investigate them further.
If not for the incident with Leng Lingyuan, Qian Renxue would have been the easiest to manipulate, but with Leng Lingyuan in the picture, she had to choose the one among the three most likely to be successfully deceived.
Xiao Gang, we shall meet again very soon; are you still in Martial Soul City?
Bibi Dong pondered in her heart, following in the footsteps of Qian Xunji as she left the Underground Palace.
Eleven years of repression, suffering, and hatred had long since caused a qualitative change in Bibi Dong's heart.
Even if she felt she owed Qian Renxue in her past life.
Moreover, her memories of that past life were incomplete.
At least until today, she still could not recall exactly how she had died in her previous life.
Martial Soul City, Pope Palace.
The sun had just risen.
Bibi Dong came to the window, staring blankly at the sun outside.
She had not bathed in sunlight or breathed fresh air for eleven years.
This feeling was truly something Bibi Dong missed dearly!
She swore that from now on, she must be careful, careful, and even more careful.
She did not want to return to the Secret Chamber ever again.
Leng Lingyuan was already up; after all, she was a Super Douluo. Even though she had been in no better shape than Xiao Rou and Xue Ying yesterday.
But as a Super Douluo, her recovery speed far exceeded that of Xiao Rou and Xue Ying.
Thinking back to the sensations of yesterday, her face could not help but flush slightly; she had experienced a peak like never before.
However, upon seeing Bibi Dong, she was filled with immense doubt: Why did her husband let her out?
Leng Lingyuan walked toward Qian Xunji, pulling him away from Bibi Dong, and asked, "Husband, why did you release Bibi Dong?"
Qian Xunji took Leng Lingyuan's right hand and patted it gently, saying, "Lingyuan, rest assured. I have it all under control. Nothing will go wrong, and I won't let any of us come to harm."
"How will we tell Xiao Xue, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Hui about Bibi Dong?"
"Bibi Dong will definitely make contact with them," Leng Lingyuan asked again.
"We will tell them the truth. I believe they will be able to understand me. Besides, Bibi Dong has promised me that she will give Xiao Xue, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Hui a reasonable explanation."
"Furthermore, we have been the ones taking care of Xiao Xue, Xiao Xia, and Xiao Hui all these years; to them, Bibi Dong is at best a stranger."
"Even if there is a blood relation."
"And I also need them to make a choice. If the three little ones still keep their hearts set on us, I naturally will not let any of them come to harm."
"If they choose Bibi Dong, then they cannot blame me. After all, it is their own choice, and I cannot force them," Qian Xunji knew clearly that Bibi Dong had no other options; if she wanted to become the Rakshasa God, she could only target the three girls.
Just as he had said before, to possess the Rakshasa God, one must make a choice.
This was their own choice, not something Qian Xunji was forcing upon them.
Leng Lingyuan immediately understood that Qian Xunji had a plan, and a grand one at that.
She stopped trying to persuade him.
Bibi Dong continued to enjoy the long-lost sunlight. She naturally knew that Leng Lingyuan had pulled Qian Xunji aside to try and get her locked back in the Secret Chamber.
However, it was a pity that before leaving the Secret Chamber, Bibi Dong had already secured a guarantee from Qian Xunji.
It was impossible for her to return to the Secret Chamber again.
No matter how much Leng Lingyuan tried to persuade him.
"Husband, I cannot win an argument against you; I suppose everything will be as you say," Leng Lingyuan's words, tinged with resentment, fell clearly into Bibi Dong's ears.
Facing the sun, Bibi Dong revealed the smile of a victor.
"Lingyuan, let's go. Since the three little ones are all at the Saintess Hall, we shall take Bibi Dong over there so she can get close to them."
Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan walked toward Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong understood that the main event was about to begin; she would see for herself who was the most likely to be manipulated by her.
