The Pitiful Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong Moved: She... Is My Daughter After All!

"Bibi Dong!

You venomous woman!

You dared murder your master and husband!

I'll kill you!"

Golden Crocodile's eyes nearly split with rage in the scene, and the Golden Crocodile King instantly possessed him.

A massive golden claw, carrying the force to destroy heaven and earth, slammed fiercely toward Bibi Dong!

However, Qian Daoliu struck again, blocking Golden Crocodile's path.

The exposure of this scene plunged the entire Douluo Continent into deathly silence in that instant.

Then, a heaven-shaking uproar erupted!

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

Qian Renxue stared fixedly at the Ranking Screen, her face deathly pale. She suddenly smashed the jade table before her with one slap.

"Why?

Grandfather, why exactly?!"

Snake Spear Douluo and Porcupinefish Douluo knelt nearby, cold sweat streaming down their foreheads. They did not even dare breathe loudly.

Qian Renxue's eyes were red as she ground her teeth and growled:

"Father did make mistakes back then, but Bibi Dong betrayed Wuhun Hall first and willingly became an ungrateful wretch!

No matter what, she should never have killed Father, much less devoured him!

Second Grandfather could have killed that venomous woman to avenge Father. Grandfather, why did you stop him?!"

In Qian Renxue's eyes, no matter how many faults Qian Xunji had, he had still been the Pope of Wuhun Hall and her biological father.

What Bibi Dong had done was simply insane.

Sunset Forest.

Jia Lin tugged at Lan Yu's sleeve and asked curiously:

"Old man, has Qian Daoliu lost his mind?

His own son was swallowed alive by his daughter-in-law, yet he actually protected the murderer?

That makes no sense."

Lan Yu gently blew on his tea and smiled faintly.

"Qian Daoliu wasn't confused. He simply loved his granddaughter too much."

"Granddaughter?

Qian Renxue?"

Jia Lin blinked.

"That's right."

Lan Yu set down his teacup.

"The year Qian Xunji died, Qian Renxue was only nine years old, still just a child.

Qian Daoliu could not bear to see his granddaughter lose both her father and mother in a single day, which was why he stopped Golden Crocodile."

Inside the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong stared fixedly at the Ranking Screen, her breathing growing heavy as well.

In truth, this had also been her question for many years.

After devouring Qian Xunji back then, she had believed she was certain to die.

After all, facing Qian Daoliu, a level 99 Limit Douluo, and Golden Crocodile Douluo, a level 98 powerhouse, she had had no chance of survival whatsoever.

Yet Qian Daoliu had not only stopped Golden Crocodile, but had even arranged for her to ascend the throne afterward, merely isolating her completely within the Papal Hall.

"Qian Daoliu... what were you thinking back then?"

Bibi Dong murmured softly, her gaze complicated and unreadable.

Above the Ranking Screen, the scene continued.

In the scene, Qian Daoliu forcibly pressed down Golden Crocodile Douluo's Crocodile King claw, powerful enough to destroy heaven and earth.

Then he returned to the Consecration Hall with Golden Crocodile, whose face was filled with unwillingness and fury.

"Big Brother!

You're confused!"

Inside the Consecration Hall, Golden Crocodile Douluo smashed a stone pillar forged from Ten-Thousand-Year Dark Iron with one punch and roared:

"That venomous woman killed Xunji!

She used Rakshasa Evil Power!

Leaving such a demonic woman in Wuhun Hall will sooner or later bring disaster!

Why didn't you let me crush her with one slap?!"

Qian Daoliu stood with his back to Golden Crocodile. His once-straight back seemed to have aged ten years in an instant.

He slowly turned around, his face covered in pain and tear stains, his voice trembling.

"Second Brother, Xunji is already gone... This was his retribution, and also the calamity of the Qian Clan."

"But that venomous woman must die too!"

Golden Crocodile roared.

"If we kill her, what will happen to Xiaoxue?"

Qian Daoliu painfully closed his eyes as two muddy tears rolled down his face.

"Xiaoxue is only nine years old this year.

She has already lost her father. If Bibi Dong dies too, she truly will have no parents left.

How could I, as her grandfather, bear to watch her become a complete orphan?

If Bibi Dong remains alive, then at least... Xiaoxue will still nominally have a mother in this world."

As Qian Daoliu's helpless and despairing words fell from the Ranking Screen,

the entire Douluo Continent fell into deathly silence in that instant.

Everyone was left speechless by the compromise and paternal love—grandfatherly love—of this level 99 Limit Douluo and chief consecrator of Wuhun Hall.

Within Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue stood frozen as if struck by lightning, tears finally spilling from her eyes.

Inside the Papal Hall, Bibi Dong stared at the Ranking Screen. Her pupils contracted violently, and the hand gripping her scepter began trembling uncontrollably.

Inside the Papal Hall.

Bibi Dong shut her eyes tightly, the knuckles gripping her scepter turning white from excessive force.

"Nine years old..."

Bibi Dong murmured hoarsely as long-buried memories flooded into her mind like a tide.

Back then, she had just devoured Qian Xunji and walked out of the secret chamber, covered in bloodlust and brutality.

The person she ran into was Qian Renxue, only nine years old, her eyes swollen red from crying.

At that time, Qian Renxue had been so small, so adorable.

She timidly tugged at Bibi Dong's sleeve and cried:

"Mom, where did Dad go?

They said Dad died. Is that true?

I'm so scared..."

But at the time, her heart had been filled only with the humiliation of being violated by Qian Xunji and the twisted pleasure of revenge.

Looking at that face that somewhat resembled Qian Xunji's, she felt nothing but revulsion. With a savage sweep of her sleeve, she flung the young Qian Renxue away.

"Get lost!

Don't touch me with your filthy hands!

Just seeing you makes me sick!"

To keep her out of sight and out of mind, several days later, she had even coldly proposed that near-certain-death Usurping Kingdom Plan.

She had forcibly sent the nine-year-old Qian Renxue to the Heaven Dou Empire.

Once she left, twelve full years passed.

"Your Holiness..."

Gui Mei watched the constantly shifting expressions on Bibi Dong's face and called to her softly in concern.

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes. Deep within them flashed pain and struggle that she desperately suppressed.

"Twelve years.

I hated the Qian Clan. I hated Qian Xunji, so I hated her as well...

But she... is flesh of my flesh, after all."

Yue Guan sighed and boldly advised:

"Your Holiness, the young mistress has actually... been paying attention to news about you all these years in the Heaven Dou Empire."

"Paying attention to me?

She hates me, doesn't she?"

Bibi Dong gave a self-mocking laugh, her eyes even reddening slightly.

"All these years, I devoted all my attention to Nana and loved Nana as though she were my own daughter.

But I know that I was only running away, only seeking a substitute to fill the guilt I owed that girl..."

Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Residence.

Qian Renxue collapsed powerlessly into her chair, tears silently sliding down her pale cheeks.

"So that was it... so this was the truth."

Qian Renxue spoke to herself, her voice filled with endless confusion and sorrow.

"Grandfather spared Father's murderer so that I would not become an orphan.

And I spent twelve years infiltrating the Heaven Dou Empire just to prove myself to that woman.

What is this supposed to mean?

What exactly is the Qian Clan?!"

Snake Spear Douluo said softly:

"Young Mistress, the chief consecrator's painstaking efforts were all for your sake."

"My mother..."

Qian Renxue raised her head and looked at Bibi Dong's faintly moved face on the Ranking Screen, smiling miserably.

"Would she feel even the slightest regret now?"
