In this life, she wouldn't repeat her past mistakes!
Unlike Qian Renxue, who had made up her mind without hesitation, Qian Renxia and Qian Renhui were torn and bewildered.
But Qian Renxue's final words had cut Bibi Dong to the quick.
She felt hollow inside, as if she had lost someone important.
But she also fiercely resisted that feeling.
For a moment, Bibi Dong was consumed by agitation.
Of course, Qian Renxue had been able to accept what Qian Xunji and Leng Lingyuan had told her so quickly because she had already been prepared for it.
Qian Renxia and Qian Renhui were different. They had been completely unprepared. Learning that the woman they had lived with as their mother wasn't their birth mother, but merely their adoptive mother, was a tremendous shock to the two little girls.
Qian Renxia was deeply conflicted because her father's actions ran counter to everything she had been taught.
She was already eight years old. For all those years, she had been taught that Spirit Hall was her home, that she loved her home, and that she must never betray Spirit Hall or do anything to harm its interests.
Most importantly, traitors must never be shown mercy. They had to be punished as they deserved.
Bibi Dong was her father's disciple and Spirit Hall's Saintess, a woman of exceptionally high standing. If her father had called her a traitor, then what she had done must have been very serious.
Traitors had to die!
And yet, Bibi Dong hadn't been left unscathed. Qian Renxia hadn't seen her for over a decade, so she had probably been locked up by her father and punished.
That would explain everything.
Since her father had forgiven Bibi Dong, Qian Renxia would reluctantly forgive her too.
But between Bibi Dong and Leng Lingyuan, Qian Renxia still chose Leng Lingyuan.
After all, one mother was familiar and had always treated her well, while the other was a complete stranger whose circumstances she knew nothing about. Naturally, she chose Leng Lingyuan.
"Mom, whether we're related by blood or not, you'll always be the mom who loves me most."
Qian Renxia went over to Leng Lingyuan and hugged her, copying Qian Renxue.
For once, Qian Renxue felt a surge of joy. She clasped Qian Renxia's hand tightly and thought, That's my good little sister.
Don't worry, little sister. I'll protect you from now on. I won't let Bibi Dong deceive you.
And I'll protect Mom, too.
Qian Renhui, meanwhile, was a little bewildered. She was only three years old, unlike her two older sisters, who had each lived at least eight years.
Her values hadn't taken shape yet, and she couldn't tell right from wrong.
But she was clever enough to know that she couldn't go wrong by following her two sisters.
She threw herself at Leng Lingyuan, repeatedly calling, "Mommy! Mommy! Mommy..."
Leng Lingyuan beamed with delight, thinking that all the love she had given her three precious daughters over the years hadn't been in vain.
The happy family scene cut Bibi Dong to the quick all over again.
Though she hated the three little girls, they were still her own flesh and blood. And they were all women—didn't they feel even a little sympathy for her?
She was the one whose chastity had been destroyed.
She was the one who had been defiled.
She was the victim!
Did they have no compassion at all?
Why wouldn't they even look her in the eye?
She hated them so much, yet why did it hurt so terribly?
Why? Damn Qian Xunji, damn Leng Lingyuan, damn little brats, damn heavens!
The malice in Bibi Dong's heart surged like a raging sea.
She hated them!
But she didn't dare let it show. She even had to smile and curry favor with the three little girls.
She said, "Xue'er, Xiaxia, Huihui, Mom knows she did wrong in the past. She wouldn't dare hope for your forgiveness, but she won't give up trying."
"From now on, you'll have two mothers to love you. Come on, give me a smile."
Ha. Bibi Dong, keep pretending. Go on, keep it up!
Qian Renxue sneered inwardly.
Once I become a god, I'll tear away that hypocritical mask of yours.
Qian Renxue secretly resolved to spend more time cultivating, so she could become the Angel God as soon as possible, crush Bibi Dong, and kill the Shrek Seven Devils.
No, she couldn't kill the Shrek Seven Devils.
Killing them would be far too good for them. She would cripple Tang San, Oscar, Dai Mubai, and Ma Hongjun, strip them of their Martial Souls, and throw them into a dark dungeon, where they would never see the light of day.
She would bundle up Zhu Zhuqing, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and Bai Chenxiang and send them to her father.
She would also have a passage built between the dungeon and her father's bedroom, so Tang San, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and Dai Mubai could hear Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, Xiao Wu, and Bai Chenxiang's protests and wails.
Only then could she cleanse the hatred buried deep in her soul.
Oh, and she couldn't spare the Star Luo Empire or the Heaven Dou Empire, either.
Of course, unlike Qian Renxue's hatred, Qian Renxia and Qian Renhui agreed to forgive Bibi Dong, though only after putting her to the test.
Qian Xunji was deeply comforted by his three daughters. At least this proved that all the years he had spent doting on them hadn't been wasted.
As for Bibi Dong becoming the Rakshasa God, he could think about that later.
Only if Bibi Dong became the Rakshasa God would he reap the greatest benefits.
A god's life had no end. Even if Bibi Dong bore him a child every ten thousand years, he would still come out ahead.
As for Bibi Dong turning the tables on him?
That was impossible.
The more descendants he had, the faster his strength would grow. Even if he did nothing in the future, his power would continue to increase steadily.
Besides, even if Bibi Dong became a god, Qian Xunji would keep her power in check, ensuring that she could never escape his grasp.
After their brief reunion, Qian Xunji sent Qian Renxue, Qian Renxia, and Qian Renhui off to school.
Once the three girls were out of sight, Qian Renxue began indoctrinating her two younger sisters, telling them that the current Bibi Dong was putting on an act and warning them not to be deceived by her.
Qian Xunji heard her.
So did Bibi Dong, reborn once more.
The repeated blows, and the hatred quietly growing within her, nudged Bibi Dong's soul toward becoming a divine soul. Some of her lost memories began to resurface.
But only a very few.
Only when her soul had fully transformed into a divine soul would Bibi Dong's memories return completely.
As for the future, Bibi Dong still understood it only in fragments.
The three little girls had left, and Leng Lingyuan had left as well. She still had Spirit Hall's affairs to attend to.
She was a practical woman, and important matters had to be dealt with personally.
Fortunately, she wasn't as rigid as Qian Daoliu. When it came to things that didn't violate her principles, she was willing to turn a blind eye.
After Leng Lingyuan left, Bibi Dong suppressed her resentment and asked Qian Xunji, "Teacher, I've been stuck at level eighty for quite some time. I'd like to become a Soul Douluo. Could you take me to the Star Dou Forest to obtain a Soul Ring?"
"Become a Soul Douluo?"
"I have some matters to take care of, so I can't go with you."
"Go find Gui Mei. Have him bring some elders and take you to the Star Dou Forest."
"All right, Teacher. I understand."
"If there's nothing else, may I leave first?" Bibi Dong asked tentatively.
"Go ahead."
"Teacher, I'll take my leave."
Bibi Dong turned and headed out of the Dining Hall, her heart light. Qian Xunji had actually let her go.
Xiao Gang, it shouldn't be long before we see each other.
Do you still have some?
I'm ready to come find you.
You're going to be so surprised when I arrive.
I'm sorry you've had to wait all these years.
Qian Xunji watched Bibi Dong's retreating figure with a distant look in his eyes. Only if he gave her freedom would she pursue godhood without reservation and become the Rakshasa God.
As for love?
It wasn't worth a damn.
All he needed was for Bibi Dong's womb to bear him children.
Even if those children hated him, so what? As long as they married and had children of their own, his strength would keep growing.
Bibi Dong had left.
Now it was time to find a new target.
He had coveted Tang Weiwei of the Clear Sky Sect for a long time.
