But every time, Bibi Dong's embarrassment was misunderstood by Song Ye, who thought she genuinely liked Spirit Hall.
Seeing his mother act this way again, Song Ye thought that perhaps he needed to change his approach.
If he kept cursing Spirit Hall and Bibi Dong like this, he might even provoke his mother's rebellious streak.
Left with no choice, Song Ye let out a long sigh and said wistfully:
"Mother, I understand you."
"Perhaps you truly have feelings for Spirit Hall and cannot bear to leave it."
"I have to admit that among the many forces on the Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall is relatively one of the better ones."
"The only unfortunate thing is that Spirit Hall has that mad Pope, Bibi Dong."
"Uh..."
Hearing her son insult her again, Bibi Dong truly found it a little unbearable.
She could not help but retort:
"Ye'er, do you really understand the Pope?"
"Isn't the Pope quite good? Accomplished in both civil and martial matters, immensely powerful, exceptionally gifted, and highly respected within Spirit Hall."
"Why do you keep denying the Pope?"
"You possess the Imperial Seal Spirit and are destined to become a ruler. Why not let me introduce you to the Pope as her disciple, so that you can become her student in the future?"
"With your talent and strength, you should be able to become Spirit Hall's Holy Son. Wouldn't you be able to rule the world in the future as well?"
Though Bibi Dong refused to accept it, she still maintained the attitude of a mother as she tried to persuade him.
At the same time, she voiced what was in her heart.
Her son possessed top-tier talent and a Martial Soul. Would it not be perfect for him to become her disciple and later Spirit Hall's Holy Son?
Once Spirit Hall founded a nation and unified the continent, he would still become the future emperor of the Douluo Continent.
If Song Ye were willing, she could reveal her identity right now and take him back to Spirit Hall.
Yet after Bibi Dong said this, Song Ye immediately revealed a scornful expression.
He glanced at Bibi Dong and mocked:
"Mother, do you really think Bibi Dong is all that great?"
"Sigh, it seems I truly need to tell you some secrets. Otherwise, you will always remain in the dark and find it hard to listen to me."
"To be honest, Mother, after awakening my Imperial Seal Spirit today, I also awakened a special ability."
"My Imperial Seal is the symbol of an emperor destined by fate!"
"As the saying goes, people have destinies and nations have fortune. I was born to be an emperor, so naturally I possess the ability to judge people and discern events. Reading a person's fate and studying fortune are nothing difficult."
"Based on the fortune I have observed, I can guarantee that Bibi Dong will one day found a nation and directly establish the Spirit Hall Empire!"
"Moreover, she will take the initiative to launch a continental war, preparing to unify the world and attain an unparalleled position!"
"This means that you will inevitably fall into danger because of the founding of the Spirit Hall Empire."
"Establish the Spirit Hall Empire?"
Listening to Song Ye, Bibi Dong was instantly startled.
Song Ye had mentioned this before, but she had not paid it any mind.
Yet seeing how certain he was now, Bibi Dong truly began to think that Song Ye could see through the future.
Because if others did not know, did she herself not know?
She had long harbored the idea of founding the Spirit Hall Empire and unifying the world. The future war against Heaven Dou and Star Luo had also been something she planned far in advance.
Even Qian Daoliu could not be certain of this.
Yet unexpectedly, her son stated it with such absolute certainty.
This forced Bibi Dong to take it seriously.
Bibi Dong continued asking, "Ye'er, can you truly see through fortune and fate?"
"Otherwise, how could you be so certain that Spirit Hall will found a nation in the future?"
"Wouldn't only the Pope herself know of such a thing?"
She continued probing, wanting to know whether Song Ye was truly certain.
Song Ye's response was, "Mother, I may deceive others, but would I deceive you?"
"That madwoman Bibi Dong will definitely found a nation and wage war in the future!"
"She is even contradictory and deranged. On one hand, she wants to establish the Spirit Hall Empire in order to rule the continent; on the other, she wants to destroy Spirit Hall and take revenge on the Qian Family!"
"With such a madwoman, can you blame your son for worrying about you?!"
The more Song Ye spoke, the more helpless he sounded, his face filled with frustration at her refusal to improve.
But these words shocked Bibi Dong once more.
She blurted out in astonishment, "Destroy Spirit Hall, take revenge on the Qian Family—you even know about th..."
"Oh, no, Ye'er, why would you say that?"
"Isn't the Qian Family the Pope's teacher's family? How could I... how could the Pope possibly want revenge against the Qian Family?"
"That can't be possible, can it?"
Yet while Bibi Dong said it was impossible, her heart had already been thrown into a raging storm.
How could she have imagined that her son would reveal such information? This was the deepest secret hidden within her heart.
Other than herself, not a single person in the world knew of it.
Song Ye merely stating this conclusion was already enough to terrify Bibi Dong.
She asked this only because she wanted to see whether Song Ye knew the details as well.
Hearing this, Song Ye glanced at Bibi Dong and continued:
"Fine, Mother, I will tell you more."
"From that ethereal and boundless fortune, I have already seen the dark past of that madwoman Bibi Dong."
"Back then, Bibi Dong was taken in as a disciple by the former Pope, Qian Xunji, and became Spirit Hall's Saintess."
"But in her early years, Bibi Dong was beguiled by a useless Soul Master named Yu Xiaogang, and the two fell in love."
"When Qian Xunji saw this, in order to separate them, he directly... Bibi Dong in a secret chamber."
"Afterward, Bibi Dong bore Qian Xunji a daughter named Qian Renxue."
"Bibi Dong harbored resentment. When Tang Hao injured Qian Xunji on one occasion, Bibi Dong seized the chance to kill and devour Qian Xunji."
"After that, Bibi Dong became the Pope."
"So do not be fooled by her polished appearance, as though becoming Pope made her glorious and radiant."
"In truth, Bibi Dong is exceptionally vicious and twisted, with a fierce and brutal temperament!"
"She will definitely found a nation and start a war in the future. If you and I remain in Spirit Hall, we will be killed sooner or later."
By the end, Song Ye wore a mournful expression.
It was difficult to imagine that on the face of a six-year-old child, one could see concern for the nation and its people that even adults might not possess.
Not to mention that after hearing this, Bibi Dong stood frozen on the spot, completely dumbfounded.
She had already been astonished that Song Ye knew what she was thinking.
Now, after she questioned him like this, Song Ye actually laid out everything she had experienced back then!
One had to know that, within all of Spirit Hall, no one besides Qian Daoliu and the others knew these matters.
Not even the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, who were closest to her; not even her disciple Hu Liena and her daughter Qian Renxue knew.
Yet here was Song Ye, the adopted son she had taken in, only six years old, recounting those events as though they were commonplace, without the slightest error.
At this moment, Bibi Dong finally realized an even more serious problem.
Perhaps her son truly could see through fortune and even know the past and future...
