Rakshasa Bibi Dong could not accept the thought of that situation, so she gave Fang Yuan an explicit warning.
"Little Yuan, I raised you like my own son. You wouldn't have those kinds of thoughts, would you?"
Fang Yuan pretended not to understand.
"Aunt Dong, what kinds of thoughts do you mean?"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong found it rather hard to say. Looking embarrassed and annoyed, she said, "You're too young to understand. In short, you're not allowed to fall for my younger self!"
Fang Yuan understood all too well, but he put on a thoroughly puzzled expression, looking toward the young Bibi Dong while replying mentally into his Sea of Consciousness.
"But I think the young Aunt Dong looks like she really wants to make friends right now. Why can't I like being friends with her?"
"Don't worry, Aunt Dong. I'll always like you too, and Sister Xue as well. I won't neglect you just because I have a new friend."
Rakshasa Bibi Dong was somewhat speechless. She had not meant the kind of liking children felt.
Angel Qian Renxue sneered just then. "A hopeless romantic, just as expected. Your mind isn't pure, so everything you see looks dirty!"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong felt that this unfilial daughter was taking veiled jabs at her, and immediately flew into a rage.
"What do you know!"
"Once it happens, it'll be too late!"
"Do you want Little Yuan to become your father?"
Angel Qian Renxue immediately fell silent. After all, she had raised Fang Yuan as her younger brother.
If Fang Yuan got together with the young Bibi Dong, he really could be considered her father.
No!
That couldn't happen!
Angel Qian Renxue could no longer stay calm. She, too, warned Fang Yuan, "Little Yuan, stay away from that woman! Don't get involved with her! She isn't worthy of you!"
"Unfilial daughter! What do you mean by that!" Rakshasa Bibi Dong erupted at those words, her chest heaving with anger.
What did she mean, she wasn't worthy of Fang Yuan?
How was she, Bibi Dong, not worthy of him?
Angel Qian Renxue sneered. "You know perfectly well what I mean."
Ignoring Rakshasa Bibi Dong, she assured Fang Yuan through a mental transmission, "Little Yuan, listen to me! After my younger self is born, give it a few years, and I'll have Grandpa arrange your engagement!"
Angel Qian Renxue blushed slightly as she spoke. Still, it would be her younger self, after all, who would not be that far apart in age from Fang Yuan, and they were not related by blood.
To keep her younger self from becoming a hopeless romantic, she would rather let her younger brother Fang Yuan benefit than have her fall for someone else.
Rakshasa Bibi Dong suddenly understood. "I was wondering why you were in such a hurry, you unfilial daughter. So that's what you were scheming! Shameless!"
Angel Qian Renxue was utterly overbearing about it.
"What business is it of yours!"
"Little Yuan and I aren't related by blood anyway. You have no say in what I do!"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong was so angry her chest hurt. "I count as Little Yuan's parent too. I don't agree!"
Seeing that the two were about to argue again, Fang Yuan hurriedly sent them a mental transmission to change the subject.
"Sister Xue, Aunt Dong, don't argue."
"Actually, becoming friends with Little Bibi Dong also has something to do with a Divine Examination."
Angel Qian Renxue had been about to keep talking back to her mother, but her eyes filled with confusion at his words.
"A Divine Examination?"
"I haven't started any Divine Examinations for you."
Fang Yuan was still young, and Angel Qian Renxue had been planning to start his Divine Examination once he grew up.
The main issue was that she did not have enough divine power right now. Even if she started the Divine Examination, she would have no way to repair her godhood. She had to wait until Fang Yuan was strong enough—at least a Soul Saint.
Rakshasa Bibi Dong stopped arguing as well. Whenever Fang Yuan was involved, she would immediately take the same side as her daughter.
"Little Yuan, what is your Divine Examination?"
As she spoke, she carefully sensed him, but found no Divine Examination Mark on Fang Yuan.
During their conversation, Fang Yuan had already chosen a place to stay with Little Bibi Dong guiding him.
He replied mentally into his Sea of Consciousness.
"It's the Nine Trials of the God of Fate."
Fang Yuan described his system as a Divine Examination, thinking that this would also make it easier to begin repairing the Rakshasa Godhood next.
Inside the Sea of Consciousness, Angel Qian Renxue and Rakshasa Bibi Dong exchanged a look, both worried by this.
"The God of Fate?"
They had already marked Fang Yuan, yet this deity had actually bypassed them and directly started a Divine Examination for him.
The other deity was definitely stronger than they were.
Thinking this, Rakshasa Bibi Dong could not help asking Fang Yuan, "Little Yuan, can you tell us what your Divine Examination involves?"
Things had already come to this. Little Yuan had been chosen by that stronger deity, and they could do nothing about that deity. They might as well help Little Yuan pass the Divine Examination.
As long as Little Yuan could become a deity, they could be resurrected along with him and then reconstruct their bodies.
Then, whatever happened, even if that God of Fate intended to harm Little Yuan, they would have the strength to contend with that deity.
Fang Yuan thought for a moment and gave a simple description. "The First Trial is to change Little Bibi Dong's fate."
"There seems to be a little progress already, and I've received the corresponding rewards, but I haven't completed the First Trial yet."
Rakshasa Bibi Dong: "?"
What did he mean, he got rewards without completing it?
How could rewards be handed out according to progress?
Did this Divine Examination of his make any sense?
Back when she had undertaken the Rakshasa God Trials, she could only receive rewards after completing each trial.
And the rewards had been particularly paltry!
To be precise, other than increasing her affinity with the Rakshasa God's divine power, there had been nothing else!
As she thought about it, Rakshasa Bibi Dong's state of mind grew somewhat peculiar. She turned to her daughter. "Xiao Xue, was your Divine Examination like that too?"
Angel Qian Renxue shook her head slightly.
"No."
Hearing her daughter deny it, Rakshasa Bibi Dong secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Perhaps it was because the deity who had chosen Little Yuan was stronger?
Just as she was thinking this, Angel Qian Renxue continued, "I only got rewards after passing the Divine Examination."
"Most of them increased my Soul Power Level or the age of my Soul Rings. The rewards only got better starting with the Seventh Trial."
"After passing the Seventh Trial, I received the Angel Holy Sword and a God-bestowed Soul Ring. The Eighth Trial gave me the Soul Bones to complete the Angel God Armor, and another God-bestowed Soul Ring..."
Rakshasa Bibi Dong: ???
"Wait!"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong raised a hand to stop her daughter, her eyes filled with disbelief. "Can a Divine Examination increase your Soul Power Level?"
Then why had her Soul Power Level been suppressed during her Divine Examination instead?
No, what was that supposed to mean?
Angel Qian Renxue looked at her mother strangely, as though it were only natural. "Yes. Didn't you use the Divine Examination to increase your Soul Power and quickly reach Peerless Douluo?"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong: "..."
Increase, her ass! The Divine Examination had even suppressed her by one level!
Rakshasa Bibi Dong's face darkened. She suddenly felt that the Rakshasa God Trials had been one enormous pitfall.
Damn that innately evil Rakshasa God!
"And what is a God-bestowed Soul Ring?"
Hearing her mother's question, Angel Qian Renxue began to understand. So apparently her mother's Divine Examination hadn't included that?
"A kind of Soul Ring whose age keeps increasing as you absorb it, depending on your body's strength. In theory, as long as your body can withstand it, its upper limit can reach a million years."
"And the deity will grant you the Soul Skill you need most and that suits you best, based on your circumstances."
Rakshasa Bibi Dong: "???"
Something that good actually existed?
Then what did the Divine Examination she had gone through count for?
