After fleeing from the Maple Dye Pavilion, Bibi Dong ran back to her palace at almost the fastest speed she had ever run.
She slammed the door shut and threw herself onto the luxurious bed, so soft it seemed to devour everything.
Then, she covered herself completely from head to toe with a Swan blanket.
dark.
asphyxia.
In this secluded little world, she finally shed all her pretenses.
Gone is the Pope's majesty, gone is the pride of a Title Douluo.
She was just a pathetic wretch who had just been kicked from heaven back to hell.
A muffled sob, suppressed to the extreme, escaped from under the covers.
Scalding tears, like beads from a broken string, gushed out uncontrollably, quickly soaking the expensive silk pillowcase beneath her.
In her heart, she cursed Qian Family from Qian Daoliu Qian Xunji and then to Qian Renxue a thousand times over with the most vicious language.
The privilege of three meals a day is gone.
Just because of a few words from that bastard child, she personally destroyed this unique happiness.
She didn't know how much time had passed, but when the feeling of suffocation forced her to stick her head out from under the covers, her eyes were already red and swollen.
The empty palace sent a chill down her spine.
She sat up blankly, looking at her disheveled reflection in the mirror, a deeper sense of panic rising within her.
What will my senior think of me?
Lin Feng's indifferent face involuntarily appeared in her mind.
Qian Renxue's words echoed in her ears like a spell.
"... Unlike some people, who, although still charming... are nearing the age of aging, aren't they?"
"... No matter what people say, she's still a genuine... unmarried virgin."
yes.
I am no longer that person.
She was no longer young, and she had lost her most precious quality as a woman.
And what about those around the seniors?
Nana is in the prime of her life, charming and beautiful.
The Zhu Family sisters, one passionate and fiery, the other aloof and stunningly beautiful, were both youthful and invincible, like buds about to bloom.
What do I have to compare myself to them with?
Bibi Dong's heart sank inch by inch.
She always believed that as long as she was devoted enough, she would one day be able to win him over and secure a special place in his heart.
But today, that bastard child, Qian Renxue, cruelly revealed the fatal flaw that she had been subconsciously ignoring!
Will he... dislike himself because of this?
Will this become the biggest obstacle on my path to happiness?
"Damn bastard!"
"To prevent me from finding happiness, they actually dared to say something like this to my face!"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her nails digging deep into her palms.
"And that beast Qian Xunji too!"
"All I ever did was... all I ever wanted was to leave the Spirit Hall and elope with Yu Xiaogang..."
That brings us to this.
Bibi Dong's voice abruptly stopped.
He was frozen in place, as if under a spell.
etc.
What did she just say?
And... Yu Xiaogang... eloped?
With Lin Feng dispelling the Rakshasa Divine Sense, her mind was clearer than ever before.
In addition, there is his experience of holding a high position and leading the Spirit Hall for more than a decade.
She's no longer the lovesick young girl who could be easily swayed by a few theories or a few tender glances.
Time seemed to be pulled back to more than twenty years ago at this moment.
At that time, she was the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, showered with love and affection, a favored daughter of heaven, with a bright future ahead of her.
Then, she met a man.
A man with extensive theoretical knowledge, eloquent speech, melancholy eyes, and who claims to be a talented but unappreciated individual.
Yu Xiaogang.
For this man, for the vague notions of "freedom" and "love" he spoke of.
She, Bibi Dong, actually...
She was actually prepared to abandon her identity Holy Maiden, betray her teacher, and give up all the resources of the Spirit Hall.
To run away with a useless person whose Soul Power will never break through level 29?
!
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted sharply in an instant.
She looked at herself in the mirror, her face ashen, her eyes filled with absurdity and shock.
My mind went completely blank.
Was I out of my mind back then?
How could someone do something so outrageous?!
Is this reasonable?
This is unreasonable!
Memories that had been buried for over twenty years suddenly flooded into her mind like a burst dam.
She remembered.
She remembered how, back then, Yu Xiaogang would always look up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and tell her with a profound expression:
" Dong'er, the strength of Soul Master lies not in Soul Power, but in Wisdom. My theory will ultimately change the entire world."
And she, back then, so incredibly naive, actually nodded repeatedly with an expression of adoration, thinking he was simply the smartest and most special man in the world!
She remembered.
When she handed the token representing her status as Holy Maiden, which allowed her to freely enter and exit all the forbidden areas of the Spirit Hall and even mobilize titled Douluo, to Yu Xiaogang.
His feigned calmness masked a hidden, ecstatic elation in the depths of his eyes.
From that day on, he practically lived in the Spirit Hall's library, eagerly absorbing knowledge that didn't belong to him.
And she, so incredibly naive, actually thought he was studying hard for their future!
Looking back now...
That's not eloquence at all; that's clearly just feigning profundity!
That's not a case of unappreciated talent; that's just a useless person with high aspirations but low abilities!
That's not some bullshit love!
What he truly admired from beginning to end was not Bibi Dong herself!
It was her identity as the " Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall " that truly mattered to him! It was the convenience and resources that this identity brought him!
He used his abilities to try and find a way to fix the flaws in his Martial Soul within the Spirit Hall's library!
I've figured it out!
I've figured everything out!
An incredibly absurd yet incredibly true conclusion surfaced in Bibi Dong's mind.
"So... I was scammed?"
"Is all of this... my own fault?"
Bibi Dong shook her head violently, clutching her hair tightly with both hands, unable to accept this conclusion that could overturn the entire first half of her life.
"No! Impossible! How can you blame me?"
"I was so young and naive back then! What did I know!"
"I was definitely not wrong!"
Although she shouted those words, even she herself felt her confidence was weak.
After all, as the Pope, she knew perfectly well what betraying the Spirit Hall meant!
A deep sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.
She collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Okay... even if... even if I was blind back then, even if I was stupid..."
She collapsed onto the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.
"Okay... even if... even if I was blind back then, even if I was stupid..."
"That's no reason for that beast Qian Xunji to ruin me!"
Yes! Qian Xunji deserves to die! He must die!
Can...
But if I hadn't been so foolish back then, being misled by that good-for-nothing Yu Xiaogang and threatening to betray the Spirit Hall, how could I have provoked Qian Xunji to do such a beastly thing?
After Bibi Dong reviewed the events again and again, she discovered that the chain of events seemed to be like this:
A good-for-nothing bewitched a fool.
A fool would betray his own family for the sake of a good-for-nothing.
The beasts in the house, in order to keep the fool, destroyed him in the most extreme way.
The fool therefore hated the beast and his entire family.
