Douluo Era 1.
Pope's Bedchamber.
Bibi Dong's anger had climbed to its peak.
The words on the Light Screen continued to flash as comments scrolled by one after another.
"Bibi Dong is an idiot."
"She won't kill her, but she won't win her over, either."
"She only does half the good and half the evil."
"In the end, she got killed by Qian Renxue in an internal struggle. She deserved it."
Bibi Dong abruptly lifted her head, her eyes bloodshot.
"You have no idea how much pain I've suffered!"
"What do you know about pain?!"
"I'm going to make the whole world feel pain!!"
She roared at the Light Screen, her voice tearing through the bedchamber's silence.
"You have no idea what I went through back then!"
Her voice trembled, and so did her whole body.
"I didn't kill Qian Renxue. That was already me showing mercy! I showed mercy, do you understand?!"
She snatched up the teacup on the table and hurled it viciously at the Light Screen.
"And now you're using this to insult me! You beasts! You beasts!"
Bibi Dong's breathing grew more and more ragged, her chest heaving violently.
"You say I can't make up my mind? You call me an idiot?"
Suddenly, she laughed, the sound shrill and grating.
"Fine! Fine! Then I'll kill Qian Renxue! I'll kill that little bastard. Will that make you happy?"
Before the words had even left her mouth, her aura erupted. Nine Soul Rings rose from beneath her feet, and the entire bedchamber trembled.
Bibi Dong's eyes were now completely shrouded in killing intent.
In her mind, Qian Xunji's figure, that night, those torments—all surged forth like a tide.
"Qian Renxue... Qian Xunji's daughter..."
She gritted her teeth, every word squeezed out from between them.
"I've let her live all these years. What more do you want from me? What more do you want?!"
Douluo Era 1.
Worship Hall.
The six Titled Douluo offerings had just arrived. Golden Crocodile Douluo stood at the front.
Qian Daoliu was covered in injuries and leaned against his chair, a streak of blood still at the corner of his mouth.
Golden Crocodile Douluo hurried over, his face full of alarm.
"Big brother, what happened to you? Who could hurt you in Spirit Hall?"
Qian Daoliu slowly raised his head, his voice low.
"Our ancestor, the Angel God. She just appeared."
Golden Crocodile Douluo's pupils contracted sharply.
"What? The Angel God descended?"
The other offerings exchanged looks, their shock plain on their faces.
Golden Crocodile Douluo quickly stepped forward to support Qian Daoliu, his tone urgent.
"Big brother, the Angel God must have found that bitch Bibi Dong unbearable! Don't worry. Our ancestor was only warning you."
Qian Daoliu said nothing.
Golden Crocodile Douluo continued, his voice edged with malice.
"When the time comes, we'll deal with Bibi Dong together and take Spirit Hall back. Spirit Hall should have belonged to our Angel lineage all along!"
Qian Daoliu finally nodded.
"Mm. I was thinking the same thing."
Golden Crocodile Douluo relaxed slightly, then seemed to remember something and furrowed his brow again.
"By the way, big brother."
"This Light Screen has talked about the conflict between Bibi Dong and Xiao Xue. It says that woman neither kills Xiao Xue nor wins her over, and that the two of them will eventually turn on each other..."
"We were worried something might happen to Xiao Xue, so we came to ask you."
Qian Daoliu waved a hand.
"It's fine. Bibi Dong won't lay a hand on Xiao Xue. She's just throwing a tantrum."
He pushed himself up and slowly stood.
"I'll focus on recovering from my injuries first."
After a pause, he looked up at the Light Screen, his expression grave.
"This Light Screen... is truly bizarre."
"It's revealed so many things. Isn't it afraid of throwing the world into chaos?"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and the others could only look on helplessly.
That was right. The Light Screen had appeared out of nowhere, and though it claimed to offer sharp critiques, it had exposed so many secrets.
Who knew what else it might reveal later? Was it really not afraid of causing trouble?
The offerings could do nothing but turn their thoughts back to Qian Renxue for now.
Douluo Era 1's Top Ten.
Heaven Dou Empire, the Crown Prince's Bedchamber.
Qian Renxue stood by the window, looking up at the Light Screen.
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo stood on either side of her. All three wore complicated expressions.
After a long silence, Qian Renxue spoke softly, deep confusion in her voice.
"What... does this Light Screen mean?"
She turned to look at the two Titled Douluo.
"What does it mean, saying I'm innocent and Bibi Dong is pitiful?"
Her voice suddenly grew agitated.
"That evil woman never once took on any of a mother's responsibilities! And now she's pitiful?"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists.
"No. Something's wrong."
She began pacing around the bedchamber, her brow furrowed.
"Not one of the things this Light Screen revealed was false. It wouldn't lie about something like this..."
She stopped and murmured to herself.
"Then what is it hiding?"
She lifted her head, her expression growing more bewildered.
"My grandfather and Bibi Dong both refuse to talk about it. They always avoid the subject. It seems like it has something to do with me, too?"
Qian Renxue bit her lip, her voice growing quieter.
"It can't be... Did I hurt Bibi Dong when I was little?"
She shook her head, then nodded, and in the end could only turn her gaze back to the Light Screen.
Snake Lance Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo exchanged a glance, both remaining silent.
Qian Renxue's voice echoed through the bedchamber, as though she were talking to herself—or questioning fate.
"What is it... What are you all hiding from me...?"
Unfortunately, if Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong refused to tell her, there was no way she could somehow guess what had happened.
Qian Renxue could only keep watching the Light Screen, sighing helplessly.
"Looks like Grandpa won't tell me, either."
"I wonder if the Light Screen will reveal it later."
"It probably will. It can't critique one person and then stop. What if it mentions me later?"
"The Light Screen said it would critique only one person a day. I guess I'll have to wait..."
Qian Renxue turned her attention back to the Light Screen.
Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo said nothing, watching it with her.
In the other eras, countless puzzled people couldn't make heads or tails of it, either.
Now that Bibi Dong's critique had ended, the next one should be starting soon.
But since it had been said that there would be only one character critiqued each day, everyone had to wait.
Still, they discovered that even after a critique ended, they could summon the Light Screen whenever they wanted and use it to chat.
As long as they didn't reveal future events or anything important, it worked well enough for casual conversation.
With nothing better to do, everyone chatted idly until the following evening.
At last, at the same time as before, a new critique began to appear.
On the Light Screen.
[Critiquing the Top Ten Stupid Women of Douluo!]
[Ninth Stupid Woman: Ye Xishui!]
[Ye Xishui: She had a winning hand and played it into a complete disaster. Conceited and morally bankrupt, she toyed with two Limit Douluos, yet in the end, she was every bit as ridiculous as a clown!]
Everyone had been eager for the next critique, and they had been watching the Light Screen closely for some time.
Now that the new critique had appeared, most people hadn't missed it.
But when Ye Xishui's name appeared, plenty of people were surprised.
Especially in the Douluo Era 2, where many powerful figures recognized her. Wasn't she that old hag from the Holy Spirit Cult?
That old woman was ancient. Was her brain just as useless?
