Qian Renxue: Mom Is a Man-Eating Monster!

Papal Hall.

"Your Holiness, Miss Qian Renxue requests an audience outside."

Having finished handling Spirit Hall's affairs and preparing to rest for a while, Bibi Dong's brows suddenly furrowed upon hearing the guard's report.

She looked at the guard and asked coldly, "Qian Renxue? Is she alone?"

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

"Refuse her! Tell her to get lost!"

"Th-this..." The guard looked at Bibi Dong hesitantly.

"I said refuse her. Can't you understand me?!" Seeing the guard like this, Bibi Dong's anger flared at once!

She was already irritated just hearing Qian Renxue's name. Yet this guard dared to hesitate before the orders of the Pope herself—he was practically throwing himself into the line of fire!

Did they really think this newly appointed Pope was weak and easy to bully?!

"Yes! Yes!"

Seeing that Bibi Dong was truly angry, the Papal Hall guard hurriedly agreed.

"Why are you still standing there? Get out and drive her away!"

"Yes! Yes!"

Only when Bibi Dong saw the guard drenched in sweat beneath her fury did she finally feel a little relieved!

Bunch of bastards. Once I've firmly secured the Pope's position, I'll wipe out every last remnant of Qian Xunji's faction!

She, Bibi Dong, would let Spirit Hall know that now was her era! Spirit Hall was now under her control!

After the guard left, Bibi Dong calmed down and frowned, muttering doubtfully, "Still, why has that little wretch come looking for me now?"

"Your Highness Qian Renxue, my sincerest apologies. His Holiness is occupied with official duties and has no time to receive you. I hope Your Highness will understand."

Having been driven out by Bibi Dong, the guard naturally could not tell her the truth and could only come up with a somewhat reasonable excuse.

"Does Mom not want to see me?" Qian Renxue raised her little head and asked in a dejected voice.

Qian Renxue had come to share with her mother the news of her breakthrough to Soul Elder, but she had never imagined that she would not even get to see her mother!

It was simply too discouraging! The happiness she had felt was instantly clouded by sadness.

"Uh..."

The guard looked at Qian Renxue's sorrowful little eyes and did not know how to answer for a moment.

"Okay, I understand~"

Qian Renxue did not make things difficult for the guard. She turned and left pitifully.

The happier she had been when she came, the more disappointed she was when she left.

After watching Qian Renxue leave, the guard dutifully returned to his post.

Then...

"Go bring her back!"

An order came down.

"?"

"Your Highness Qian Renxue, wait! His Holiness has finished handling her work!"

"?"

Qian Renxue turned around and saw the Papal Hall guard running toward her. Her tiny face was filled with enormous confusion.

What did this mean?

Hadn't Mom just been busy? How had she suddenly stopped being busy?

Her little mind could not process the situation at all!

Inside the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong thought for a long time before ultimately deciding to see Qian Renxue. Though she hated Qian Renxue, she was also curious why Qian Renxue had come looking for her.

"I hope my 'good daughter' brings me something useful. Otherwise... hmph!"

Bibi Dong's eyes were cold. If Qian Renxue had come merely because she was bored, Bibi Dong would not mind letting her experience what it meant for "maternal love" to come crashing down like a mountain!

As it happened, she needed someone to vent her anger on.

"Mom! I... I'm here..."

Qian Renxue walked in. She had originally been so happy, but the moment she saw Bibi Dong's beautiful yet frost-covered face, her voice involuntarily weakened.

Why did Mom's expression look so scary? Was she angry? Who was she angry at? Was she angry at Xue?

As she thought, Qian Renxue studied Bibi Dong's expression, becoming extremely cautious.

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue indifferently and said in a flat tone that revealed neither pleasure nor anger:

"Didn't I tell you not to call me 'Mom'? What, do you like recognizing everyone as your mother?"

"Huh?"

The instant Qian Renxue heard those words, her mind completely shut down!

Recognizing someone else as her mother?

No, no! Aren't you my mother?

"Pfft!"

Lu Chen, who had been secretly watching the show, sprayed out the Ten-Thousand-Year Jade Dragon Spring in his hand. Was Bibi Dong's way of speaking always this bizarre?

She could even say something like recognizing someone else as her mother. That was truly unbelievable!

Honestly, Lu Chen could not hold it in anymore!

"Definitely worth coming! Definitely worth coming!" Lu Chen smacked his lips, staring at the scene in the Papal Hall with great interest.

Bibi Dong had not disappointed him!

This "loving mother teaching her daughter" scene was indeed entertaining!

Lu Chen took a sip of tea and said cheerfully, "Qian Renxue really got herself quite a mother. Her life is truly set now! Fortunately, I'm here. This Heavenly Dao will never let this perfect tool repeat the same mistakes!"

"Mom, what are you talking about? Xue... Xue hasn't recognized anyone else as her mother."

Qian Renxue did not understand what Bibi Dong meant and could only explain cautiously.

"Hmph!"

Bibi Dong's gaze turned even colder. Still calling her Mom! Who was her mother?! She really never learned!

However, she could not be bothered to argue about this topic anymore. She could tell that the Qian Renxue before her simply could not understand human speech!

Even if she repeated it a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times, Qian Renxue would probably still keep calling her Mom.

If Qian Renxue did not have Qian Daoliu protecting her, Bibi Dong would have slapped this stubborn little brat who could not understand human speech to death long ago!

"Speak. What did you come to see me for?"

"Huh?"

"I said, what did you come to see me for today?! Can't you understand human speech?!"

Bibi Dong shot her a vicious glare. Damn it, she had actually made her repeat herself. Even more infuriating! She was even angrier now!

Later, she would definitely teach Qian Renxue a harsh lesson and vent the resentment in her heart!

"Ah? What, what was it? Oh, it's... it's that thing!"

After Bibi Dong glared at her, Qian Renxue was utterly frightened by that fierce look. Her little mind stopped working properly, and she began to stammer.

"Qian Renxue! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?!"

"Mom, on purpose? You, you weren't..."

"Did you come here specifically to anger me? You can't even speak properly now, huh?!" A small vein appeared on Bibi Dong's fair forehead. Her hands, resting on the armrests, had long since clenched into fists, as if she wanted to crush the chair beneath her!

She truly suspected that Qian Renxue had come today specifically to anger and disgust her!

Otherwise, how could someone with a God-tier Martial Soul speak even worse than an ordinary person, looking like an idiot?!

"No! No! Mom, listen to me. Xue didn't come to anger you! Xue really didn't come to anger you!"

Qian Renxue hurriedly waved her little hands in denial, shaking her head like a rattle drum!

She had come to share good news with her mother—the good news that she had advanced to Soul Elder. How could she possibly have come to anger her mother?

Mom must have misunderstood Xue!

"..."

The veins on Bibi Dong's forehead and hands throbbed violently. Mom again! Mom again! So annoying!

"Shut up! If you didn't come to anger me, why can't you even say one complete sentence?!"

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Xue had just wanted to reveal the real reason when she saw Bibi Dong's eyes filled with rage, and her mind instantly cleared.

"Ah, this is no fun..."

A sigh rang out, followed by a streak of white light entering Qian Renxue's body, causing her to blurt out everything in her heart at once.

"Mom looks too scary! Your face is darker than the bottom of a pot! Your tone is terrifying! You look like a monster! You look like you're going to eat Xue! Xue was scared! That's why Xue couldn't speak!"

"Mom, Xue really didn't come to anger you on purpose!"

"..."

Silence.
