"But believe it or not, this is the fact you must accept..." A cold scythe appeared silently at Qian Renxue's milky-white neck, the sharp blade easily tearing a tiny gash, but not deep, only letting blood drip down Qian Renxue's collarbone onto the feather-covered peaks. "Look at your current deranged state... You, in your twenties, can't accept this fact, so what makes you think you could have accepted it when you were just a teenager?"

"You?"

Qian Renxue subconsciously turned her head.

This forced the Rakshasa God Scythe to be moved forward by one centimeter.

Otherwise, Qian Renxue's throat will be slit.

However, Qian Renxue didn't notice these details. She was only shocked to look at the woman who had appeared behind her at some point, her eyes twitching slightly, with a hint of despair in them. "Why should I believe his and your frank confession, and doubt Grandpa?"

As he spoke, he took a step forward.

Forced into a corner, Bibidong had no choice but to move the Rakshasa God Scythe in her hand half an inch to the left to avoid killing her foolish daughter.

"Go ahead and kill me if you dare!" Qian Renxue's mind was already on the verge of collapse. In fact, from the moment she personally came to interrogate Ji Luo, a survivor of Poseidon Island, and even took matters into her own hands, her emotional fluctuations had already exceeded her control. Now, she was further provoked by Bibi Bibidong threatening her with the Rakshasa God Scythe, and a strong suicidal thought arose in her mind, "You're holding this scythe, isn't it because you want to kill me?"

Bibidong's eye twitched slightly.

To be honest, I can always see a part of myself in this daughter in unexpected ways. For example, her current madness. When she was taken by Qian Xunji and gave birth to Qian Renxue, she seemed to be just as mad, like a lunatic.

And when faced with such a madman, she certainly knew how to educate him!

With a turn of the Rakshasa God Scythe, the sharp edge was transformed into a blade!

With a loud slap, it landed on Qian Renxue's face!

Immediately, the tail of the Rakshasa God Scythe swept out!

A burst of black light flashed, instantly sending the two titled Douluo, Serpent Snake Lance and Pufferfish, who wanted to fight him flying, crashing into the dungeon wall!

The Rakshasa God Power transformed into chains, directly sealing the Soul Power of the Snake Lance and the Pufferfish!

"To be honest, I really wanted to kill you..." Bibidong had instantly knocked down three people, wielded her scythe in one hand and with a backhand chops down Ji Luo, who could finally die. Her Soul Power, flowing effortlessly, transformed into a gigantic black hand, pulling Qian Renxue back from the corner. But in her murderous tone, there was a strange hint of disappointment. "Since when did my daughter, who yearns for light, lose even the courage to look down on darkness, and even learn the beautiful quality of lying?"

"You're talking nonsense!" Qian Renxue struggled, flipped her hand to take out the Imitation Angel Holy Sword she had obtained from Ye Qingcang, and swung it at Bibidong in front of her. "Let me go!"

"Let you go?" Bibidong was startled by the sudden appearance of the Angel Holy Sword. She instinctively used her Rakshasa God Scythe to block it, then realized that the Angel Holy Sword was just a counterfeit sword with some Angel God aura. Enraged, she laughed and chopped the thing in half. She then slapped Qian Renxue twice, making her head buzz. "Children shouldn't use foul language. Since your grandfather doesn't care about you, then I, as your mother, will discipline you properly... Look at what you've become! You still want to kill me to avenge your even more filthy beastly father?"

"You're not my mother!" Qian Renxue not only put on a show of "motherly love and filial piety" for Bibidong, but also sacrificed her own defenses to stage a "shield-shattering strike" that broke Bibidong's resolve. "Bibidong, don't forget, you were the one who ordered me to call you 'sister.' You've never acknowledged that you're my mother, you don't even admit it yourself!"

The boomerang from many years ago has struck me in this moment.

Bibidong's Rakshasa God Scythe trembled slightly.

But she still argued stubbornly, fully displaying the excellent style of an unreasonable parent, and patted Qian Renxue's slightly swollen face with the blade of the Rakshasa God Scythe: "No matter what, physiologically speaking, I am your mother, that's not wrong, is it?"

Qian Renxue never expected Bibidong to be so shameless.

After a moment of silence, he turned his head away and closed his eyes.

The main point is that you can kill or torture them as you please.

However, this reaction from Qian Renxue was exactly what Bibidong wanted to see!

Only when Qian Renxue Qian Renxue calms down can she establish communication with her!

The hand that spreads its Soul Power.

Looking at Qian Renxue who had fallen to the ground.

Bibidong's eyes flickered almost imperceptibly.

Qian Renxue broke down, but so did she.

Perhaps Qian Renxue has made a million mistakes.

But she is by no means without fault.

Just as Qian Renxue said, it was indeed she who forced Qian Renxue not to call her mother, and it was indeed she who ordered Qian Renxue to call her sister. Back then, in order to distort Qian Renxue's concept, she hit Qian Renxue many times, because every time Qian Renxue called her mother, it was a mockery that trampled on her dignity. Rather than saying that Qian Renxue was cowardly, it would be more accurate to say that she was just as cowardly as Qian Renxue back then, without even the courage to face the facts.

She knows how painful it is to be rejected by loved ones.

Just like how she was defiled by that beast Qian Xunji.

The moment Bibi Dong grabbed Qian Renxue by the collar, Bibidong had already prepared her reprimands, but the next moment, upon seeing the tear stains on Qian Renxue's face, all those prepared words vanished from her mind.

The mother and daughter gazed at each other for a long time.

Bibidong then lowered her hand and retrieved the Rakshasa God Scythe.

"I can spare your life." Bibidong turned her back to Qian Renxue. "However, everyone else who knows the details, except you, must die!"

"No way!" Qian Renxue's stubbornness was just like Bibidong's. "Grandpa, Ye Qingcang, Snake Lance, and Pufferfish —these four can't die; if you don't agree, I'll die right now!"

"You think I really wouldn't dare kill you?" Bibidong a raging storm, Bibi Dong grabbed Qian Renxue by the Qian Renxue, giving her no chance to struggle, and slammed Qian Renxue against the wall, her eyes filled with murderous intent. "You want to threaten me with your insignificant life?"

"You... you're nothing but... a coward... a coward who only dares to vent your anger on... on your daughter... on the children!" Qian Renxue subconsciously grabbed Bibidong's hand, her words piercingly sharp, actually managing to break free Bibidong the grip of this level Level 98 Title Douluo: "You still think you're right... you think you're taking revenge on me, someone who has the blood of the Qian Clan flowing through my veins... but you've forgotten that your blood also flows in my veins... you could say you're creating a version of yourself from the past, you're using hatred to twist me into a version of yourself from the past, isn't that right?"

Bibidong listened silently to Qian Renxue's words.

Bibidong silently stared at her hands being pried open.

A long silence followed.

It took so long that Qian Renxue wiped away the tears on her face.

Only then did he silently lower his empty hand.

"Yes..." Bibidong said, "I am indeed a coward, and a very stupid one at that; so, you want to kill me?"

"I don't know." Qian Renxue couldn't suppress the bitterness in her heart, wiping her eyes. "I don't know what the meaning of my existence is, because I've lost my reason for killing you. My sword has always been wielded for justice, but my very existence is unjust... I don't even know how to address you, how utterly ridiculous!"

"It's not laughable... If you'd like, you can call me Mother, or Mom." It wasn't Qian Renxue who moved Bibidong, but rather the shadow of Bibidong she once held within Qian Renxue that moved Bibidong, making her realize in an instant that she, the Dragon Slayer, had unknowingly become the new Evil Dragon herself. She faced only two paths: one was to follow Qian Xunji's old path, and the other, the path she wanted to take, was to end the tragedy in her generation, to stop creating more tragedies, and to no longer become the kind of person she once despised. "Although I know I'm not a good mother, if you'd like..."

"I do!"

Qian Renxue took a step and hugged Bibidong.

It is said that there is no lasting grudge between husband and wife, and the same is true between mother and daughter.

This twisted relationship tormented not only Bibidong Dong, but also Qian Renxue Qian Renxue with the same intensity, leaving her battered and bruised.

Perhaps from the very beginning, it was Bibidong, the mother, who refused to bow down, because the moment Bibidong bowed down to Qian Renxue was the moment when Bibidong perished with the Asura God Sword in order to protect Qian Renxue.

These stories are recorded in the history books of the original world of Ji Luo.

It was also taken as evidence of dubious veracity.

It resolved the rift between Bibidong and Qian Renxue.

"I will learn to be a mother..." Bibidong stroked Qian Renxue's face, strands of Soul Power easing the swollen finger marks on Qian Renxue's face. "Perhaps I will be as incompetent as before, but I will try my best!"

Qian Renxue rested her head on Bibidong's shoulder, sobbing softly.

Seeing this, the Snake Lance and the Pufferfish finally showed relieved smiles.

Then, under the Intimidation gaze of Bibidong filled with murderous intent, they returned to their trembling state, silently praying that their Young Master was not a cold-blooded creature and that he would not forget them at the crucial moment, and even more so, that they would not fall into Bibidong's hands.
