Severing Ties with Xiaogang! Bibi Dong Wants Only Song Ye!

After saying this, Bibi Dong also stretched out her arms and pulled Song Ye completely into her embrace.

Only by breathing in her child's scent and feeling the warmth Song Ye brought could Bibi Dong's emotions gradually calm.

Yes, perhaps, just as Ye'er had said, all that love between men and women was fake.

Perhaps a top-tier Soul Master like herself could never have liked trash like Yu Xiaogang.

Or perhaps everything truly had been a scheme Qian Xunji designed to control her.

But no matter how false her love for Yu Xiaogang had been, her feelings for her child were real.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry..."

"Ye'er, Mama scared you."

"Mama is fine. Mama knows you were just afraid I would be affected. Mama won't be."

"Ye'er, you are Mama's only child. Mama has only you. For the rest of her life, Mama will only have you..."

"Ye'er..."

The violent heaving of Bibi Dong's chest finally slowly subsided.

Nothing was more comforting than familial love.

So what if Yu Xiaogang was gone? Her child was still here. Her son still loved her. That was enough...

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, continuously stroking Song Ye's little head and pressing him fully against her chest. She wanted to properly feel his breathing.

Only after a long while, when Bibi Dong had completely calmed down, did she release Song Ye. She wiped away her tears and said,

"Ye'er, Mama is so lucky to have met you."

"Only you can stay with Mama for a lifetime. Only you are Mama's support."

"Without you, Ye'er, Mama would not know what to do. Go on, Mama will listen obediently."

She forced a gentle smile.

Seeing this, Song Ye felt slightly relieved. He continued comforting Bibi Dong for a few more moments.

After thinking it over, Song Ye still decided to finish what he had to say.

He had to help his mother completely break free from blind faith in authority, so she would no longer be influenced by Bibi Dong.

Song Ye gathered his thoughts for a moment before saying,

"Alright, Mama. I'll continue."

"Bibi Dong fell in love with Yu Xiaogang because of the illusion and developed rose-colored glasses toward him. Then, Qian Xunji used another illusion to make Yu Xiaogang fall in love with his cousin."

"By splitting the two apart like this, Bibi Dong naturally suffered immensely."

"But Qian Xunji overplayed his hand. He had thought that once Bibi Dong separated from Yu Xiaogang and saw that Yu Xiaogang still liked his cousin, revealing himself as a scumbag who would not take responsibility for her, she would cut off her emotions and abandon love."

"Yet he never expected Bibi Dong to be so stubborn. Her rose-colored glasses toward her first love were too strong, and she truly wanted to be with Yu Xiaogang."

"He had made matters worse. In order to completely control Bibi Dong while preserving her talent, Qian Xunji..."

"Chose to force Bibi Dong into a relationship with him..."

"Because of this, Bibi Dong came to utterly hate Qian Xunji and the Angel Clan. She chose to endure and make preparations."

"Finally, after Tang Hao wounded Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong seized the opportunity to devour Qian Xunji and take her revenge!"

"After that, Bibi Dong never saw Yu Xiaogang again."

"In truth, Qian Xunji's illusion could not have trapped Bibi Dong forever. It was merely a method used in the early stages to make Bibi Dong fall for Yu Xiaogang."

"But the rose-colored glasses of first love infinitely beautified someone. Having not seen Yu Xiaogang for so many years, Bibi Dong naturally still believed she loved him."

"Perhaps the fake had become real..."

"But without Qian Xunji serving as the catalyst, how could Bibi Dong possibly have liked trash like Yu Xiaogang?"

"It could even be said that the love between them had been fake from the very beginning. Its foundation itself was flawed."

"Even now, Bibi Dong was still being kept in the dark, believing Yu Xiaogang was her true love."

By the end, Song Ye could not help feeling somewhat wistful and mocking.

Bibi Dong was even more shocked and afraid after hearing this, but to continue her act, she could only force herself to look helpless.

Of course, she truly did feel helpless and pained.

It seemed there really was something wrong with her feelings for Yu Xiaogang. As Song Ye had said, they had likely been influenced by the illusion.

Then there were also the rose-colored glasses she had placed on her first love.

When she saw Yu Xiaogang again today, she had indeed felt that he had changed, that he was no longer as high-spirited and outstanding as before.

Perhaps it had not been an illusion. Perhaps, after all this time, she had finally seen Yu Xiaogang's true face.

Bibi Dong thought to herself,

Ye'er knows about things that almost no one knows, especially how I killed Qian Xunji and how Qian Xunji forced himself on me.

And judging from how I felt about Yu Xiaogang today, everything he said was right.

Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong... in the end, you were still living under Qian Xunji's influence...

Your whole life truly has been a joke.

Everything was fake. The bond between master and disciple was fake, and love was fake...

Only...

Bibi Dong could not help looking at Song Ye again. Only when she saw him did her heart soften once more.

She murmured, "Only familial love is real."

"Ye'er, Mama understands everything now. Mama will be fine."

"After all, these are all Bibi Dong's affairs. They have nothing to do with Mama."

"Mama merely feels the same helplessness. All that so-called love and romance are fake. Only you are still by Mama's side."

"From now on, the two of us will depend on each other, Ye'er. Mama only has you..."

Song Ye sighed as well, then embraced Bibi Dong again and said,

"Yes, we'll depend on each other from now on."

"Mama, don't worry. With Ye'er here, no one will be able to hurt you in the future!"

Mother and son held each other like this, feeling one another's warmth.

The world was cold, but only you and I remained.

Afterward, Song Ye continued soothing Bibi Dong, constantly serving her food and telling her jokes.

Gradually, Bibi Dong's emotions recovered considerably.

Now that the truth had been revealed, Bibi Dong knew this love was fake and no longer intended to cling to it.

Perhaps letting go would be difficult, but Yu Xiaogang was truly no longer worth loving. From now on, all she needed to do was take good care of her child.

After finishing their meal, the two even went into town to have some fun and experience the rare joy of family affection.

It was not until evening that they returned to Spirit City.

Using her many duties as an excuse, Bibi Dong returned to the Pope Palace. Song Ye understood and saw her off.

As Bibi Dong left, Song Ye watched her graceful back from the courtyard and muttered,

"It seems Mother has been deeply influenced by Bibi Dong."

"If I want Mother to completely leave Spirit Hall and cast off Bibi Dong, there is still a long road ahead."

"I never expected Bibi Dong to have such powerful brainwashing abilities. My mother is only a Soul Saint, yet she is this loyal."

After saying this, Song Ye shook his head and continued tinkering with his crossbow weapon.

He had obtained his first Soul Ring, but he still needed to increase his combat power and build up his strength. This crossbow weapon had to be developed as soon as possible.

Elsewhere.

Bibi Dong returned to the Pope Palace carrying heavy thoughts.

Though it was already evening, she swiftly convened an emergency meeting of Spirit Hall's elders!

Most of the Title Douluo elders gathered together, all of them surprised. Why had the Pope summoned them for a meeting so late?

Yet they had not expected that Bibi Dong's first order after convening the meeting would be to strip Yu Xiaogang of his position as an honorary elder!
