Three Daughters with Different Attitudes

Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan arrived behind Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong turned at the opportune moment and greeted Leng Lingyuan, "Mistress."

"Mm." Leng Lingyuan nodded slightly, her tone carrying a warning as she spoke:

"Bibi Dong, let us go. I will take you to see Xiao Xue, Xiaoxia, and Xiaohui."

"This opportunity was hard-won. I hope you will cherish it well and take care not to make any mistakes."

"Mistress, please rest assured. I know what to say."

"Dong'er, Lingyuan, let us go. We are heading to the Saintess Hall." Qian Xunji stepped in to smooth things over, and together with Leng Lingyuan, he led Bibi Dong toward the Saintess Hall.

Martial Soul City, Saintess Hall.

The sun had just risen, and it was not yet time for lessons, but all nine of Qian Xunji's children were already up.

They were currently eating breakfast in the Dining Hall.

The Dining Hall was not located inside the Saintess Hall but stood as a separate, independent structure.

It sat in the center position between the Saintess Hall and the Holy Son Palace, the three forming a single architectural complex.

The Holy Son Palace was on the left, the Saintess Hall on the right, and the Dining Hall was the sunken building in the middle, standing only half the height of the other two.

The Dining Hall was a place exclusively for Qian Xunji's children to eat, connecting the Holy Son Palace and the Saintess Hall.

Dining Hall.

The hall was quite lively at this moment; besides Qian Xunji's nine children, there were also servants and maids attending to them.

"Qian Renchuan, get down this instant." Qian Renshuang plucked Qian Renchuan off her shoulders, glaring at him with gritted teeth.

"Sister Shuang, I want to ride the big horse." Although one-year-old Qian Renchuan could run and jump, his speech still carried a childish lisp.

The childishness, combined with his pitiful expression, caused most of Qian Renshuang's anger to dissipate in an instant.

Of course, while her anger had faded, it was absolutely impossible for Qian Renshuang to let Qian Renchuan ride her like a horse, so she pushed him away, saying, "Go find your Sister Xue."

Qian Renchuan shook his head vigorously. Qian Renxue was always fierce toward him; he didn't dare ask her to let him ride.

Qian Renxue simply ate her breakfast quietly, paying no mind to these childish antics, until Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan appeared with Bibi Dong.

"Little Chuan, if your sister won't do it, Daddy will. Daddy will be your big horse."

"Yay! Yay! Daddy!" Qian Renchuan's eyes lit up, and he ran toward Qian Xunji.

Qian Xunji took the opportunity to scoop up Qian Renchuan and hoist him onto his shoulders.

"Giddy-up! Giddy-up!" Qian Renchuan hugged Qian Xunji's head, dangling his little feet, his words filled with endless joy.

Children are always so easily satisfied.

Qian Xunji carried Qian Renchuan over to Qian Renhao's side and asked, "Little Hao, is there anything you want? Daddy can get you anything, you know?"

Compared to Qian Renchuan, Qian Renhao's personality was clearly not as lively.

However, it was evident that Qian Renchuan and his seven sisters preferred the quiet Qian Renhao, simply because Qian Renchuan was far too mischievous, giving them endless headaches.

Qian Renhao tilted his head and said earnestly, "Daddy, I haven't decided what I want yet. When I think of it, I will tell you, okay?"

"Very well, Little Hao. Daddy's promise is always valid. Remember to tell me when you decide."

"Mm, thank you, Daddy." Qian Renhao withdrew his gaze, his eyes falling back onto his breakfast.

Qian Xunji then took Qian Renchuan to each of his seven daughters in turn, quietly listening to how they had grown over the past year.

During this time, neither Leng Lingyuan nor Bibi Dong said a word.

Bibi Dong had already recognized her three daughters and was secretly observing them.

Qian Renxia's attitude was one of complete indifference.

Qian Renhui, on the other hand, was full of curiosity, wondering who this woman appearing beside her father and mother might be.

As for Qian Renxue, she gave Bibi Dong the impression that she was harboring resentment toward her.

This left Bibi Dong feeling confused for a moment, even suspecting that she was hallucinating.

After all, by any count, this was only the second time she had met Qian Renxue.

The first time was when she was born.

If so, where could this resentment come from?

Perhaps it really was an illusion.

I am being too sensitive!

When Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue again, she could no longer feel a trace of resentment.

It seems it really was an illusion.

What is wrong with me?

Perhaps it is because I have been suppressed in the Secret Chamber for too long.

It was all that damned Qian Xunji's fault; he had kept her locked away for eleven years.

In truth, deep in her subconscious, Bibi Dong did not want to believe that Qian Renxue would harbor resentment toward her.

After Qian Xunji finished chatting with his seven daughters, he set Qian Renchuan down from his shoulders. He allowed him, along with Qian Renhao, Qian Renshuang, Qian Renwei, Qian Renting, and Qian Renwu, to leave the Dining Hall, leaving only Qian Renxue, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renhui behind.

Qian Renxue understood something in her heart.

Qian Renxia and Qian Renhui, however, were puzzled.

Qian Renhui asked, "Father, did you keep us here alone because you have something special to tell us?"

"Little Hui is truly clever." Qian Xunji praised her, then looked toward Leng Lingyuan and asked, "Lingyuan, will you say it, or shall I?"

"Husband, let me say it."

Leng Lingyuan looked at the three girls, including Qian Renxue, and said, "Xiao Xue, Xiao Xia, Xiao Hui, today your father and I have something to tell you."

"In truth, I am not your biological mother; she is." Leng Lingyuan pushed Bibi Dong forward.

Qian Xunji immediately added, "Xiao Xue, Xiao Xia, Xiao Hui, your biological mother is none other than Bibi Dong, the Saintess of the Martial Soul Hall and also my disciple."

"She committed some mistakes in the past and betrayed the Martial Soul Hall, but she is my disciple after all. I did not want her to die because of it, so I punished her lightly to protect her, which led to the three of you."

"At first, your biological mother did not realize where her mistakes lay. To prevent her from leading you astray, I had your adoptive mother treat you as her own."

"Now, after eleven years of reflection, your biological mother has deeply realized where she went wrong, so I brought her here to see you."

"As for whether you acknowledge her or not, the choice is yours. Leng Lingyuan and I will always be the father and mother who love you the most."

Qian Xunji's three daughters reacted differently upon hearing this.

Qian Renxue merely looked at Leng Lingyuan with complex eyes, never once glancing at Bibi Dong from beginning to end.

At the beginning of her rebirth, facing a vastly different family environment, she had naively thought that Leng Lingyuan was truly her biological mother.

It was not until she obtained a drop of Leng Lingyuan's blood that she understood her biological mother was still Bibi Dong.

She was very grateful to Leng Lingyuan.

Because she had received from Leng Lingyuan the maternal love she had yearned for in her previous life.

Qian Renxue walked up to Leng Lingyuan, reached out to embrace her, and murmured, "Mother, you will always be my mother. I have, and only ever will have, one mother."

She then looked at Bibi Dong and said expressionlessly, "Those who betray the Martial Soul Hall should not be forgiven!"

Qian Renxue had originally wanted to ask Qian Xunji to kill Bibi Dong outright, but she reconsidered; killing Bibi Dong directly would be letting her off too easily.

She wanted Bibi Dong to live forever under the fear of being dominated by her father, even if Bibi Dong were to become the Rakshasa God in the future.

She also wanted her father to see Bibi Dong's true colors, to let him know that Bibi Dong had never repented from the very beginning.

Although her father was already a Limit Douluo, she knew that he could not become the Angel God.

Her father needed her protection.

As for why she harbored such resentment toward Bibi Dong.

It could only be said that Bibi Dong had been calculating against her from start to finish.

Even when she had finally blocked a blade for her, shattering her godhood and causing her strength to plummet to that of a Spirit Douluo.

Everything Bibi Dong said was hypocritical, meant only to let her survive naively so she would suffer the most miserable torments.

She had even been willing to sacrifice her most beloved disciple—Hu Liena.

What kind of good ending could a princess of a fallen nation have, especially when her martial soul was the Six-Winged Angel?

Although a Spirit Douluo was not weak, to the two great empires that were at the height of their power at the time, she was nothing more than an ant that could be crushed at will.

As for Tang San and the so-called Shrek Six Monsters, they would only care about their own interests; how would they ever concern themselves with her plight?

In this life, she would not repeat the same mistakes!
