Bibi Dong, Something Is Very Wrong with You

Seeing Bibi Dong's deathly pale face, Qian Xunji immediately felt a sense of kinship in their shared misery.

But he did not speak up for her. He still remembered how the girl had refused to believe him just now.

Now that it was Bibi Dong's turn, he wanted her to taste what it felt like to be falsely accused, too.

Under the scrutiny of Qian Daoliu and the others, Bibi Dong glanced frantically to her side, hoping Yue Guan would speak up for her.

But how would Yue Guan dare get involved in any of this?

Right now, he wished he could leave the scene and pretend he had never seen what had happened in the Pope's Hall. After all, he knew too many secrets.

Yue Guan did not even dare vouch for Qian Xunji, much less Bibi Dong now.

People could change. Bibi Dong seemed loyal to Spirit Hall now, but what about when she grew up?

After hearing what Bibi Dong's future daughter had said, Yue Guan could not help being suspicious.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile, and the others were thinking much the same as Yue Guan. It was hard not to suspect Bibi Dong.

Silence fell over the Pope's Hall.

Bibi Dong was panicking now. She turned her gaze to Qian Xunji, who lay on the floor, her eyes pleading for help.

"Teacher! You know me! I would never betray Spirit Hall!"

"Say something, Teacher! Teacher!"

Qian Xunji simply shut his eyes and lay motionless, pretending to have passed out.

Bibi Dong: ???

No, Teacher, how could you do this!

Who couldn't see through an act like that!

Facing the scrutinizing gazes of the Consecrated, Bibi Dong felt utterly helpless, so anxious she was on the verge of tears.

The current Bibi Dong was only a child, terrified that she would end up like Qian Xunji.

Angel Qian Renxue deliberately remained silent. Seeing young Bibi Dong's anxious state, she felt rather pleased with herself.

Her mother had often yelled at her during her childhood. Since she could not bully Big Bibi Dong now, she would bully Little Bibi Dong instead.

This was her dear big sister, after all. How could she not tease her a little?

Both of Fang Yuan's Martial Souls could be considered detached Martial Souls, so he could sense their feelings.

Sensing Angel Qian Renxue's satisfaction, Fang Yuan guessed that she was trying to scare Bibi Dong and felt somewhat helpless about it.

It seemed that although the two had reconciled, Angel Qian Renxue still had not let go of what had happened in the past.

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Yuan walked up to Qian Daoliu.

"Grandpa Qian Daoliu, those things haven't happened yet. I don't think we need to take our anger out on Bibi Dong."

Young Bibi Dong had thought she might very well be executed today. She had never expected anyone to speak up for her.

She looked up at Fang Yuan's figure, feeling as though a beam of light had shone upon her, and was deeply moved.

We don't even know each other, yet he's speaking up for me in a situation like this...

Bibi Dong took Fang Yuan to heart. Remembering the Martial Soul resonance she had felt with him earlier, her heartbeat unconsciously quickened.

Could he feel a Martial Soul resonance with me, too...?

At that moment, she recalled what she knew about this subject. If two people's Martial Souls resonated, it meant that they could perform Martial Soul Fusion and unleash a powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

Uncle Yue Guan and Uncle Gui Mei, for instance, could perform Martial Soul Fusion, and they were closer than blood brothers.

And if a man and a woman developed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill, the mutual attraction between their Martial Souls meant they would almost certainly become husband and wife.

Bibi Dong blushed at the thought. Th-this... he and I...

Fang Yuan was speaking with Qian Daoliu when a system notification suddenly popped up.

[Bibi Dong's fate has undergone an initial change. Rakshasa Godhood can be restored by 10%. Begin immediately?]

Fang Yuan: ?

Somewhat puzzled, he turned and gave Bibi Dong a strange look. Seeing that she was looking at him with a faint blush on her face, he was utterly shocked.

Seriously?

What the freaking teapot are you blushing for!

All I did was put in a word for her. Had Bibi Dong fallen for me just like that?

At the thought that Rakshasa Bibi Dong was watching from inside his Sea of Consciousness right now, Fang Yuan felt a thrill.

Not for now.

Silently storing the reward away, Fang Yuan hurriedly continued his conversation with Qian Daoliu, pretending he had not noticed anything unusual about Bibi Dong.

"Grandpa Qian Daoliu, I think the most important thing now is to start making plans and changes while those things haven't happened yet!"

Qian Daoliu had already thought it through. Those things had not happened, so he could not pin the blame on Bibi Dong. Besides, she was so young that there was still time to guide her properly.

As for Qian Xunji, that unfilial son deserved a beating!

As his father, how could he not know exactly what his own son was like?

With those thoughts in mind, Qian Daoliu gave Fang Yuan a slight nod, his expression gentle and his manner kindly.

"Little Yuan, you have a point."

This child remained unruffled in the face of upheaval and seemed to have been calm and composed all along. Now he had shown such clear insight, too.

As expected of someone chosen by the Angel God, he truly had courage and wisdom.

Qian Daoliu looked at young Bibi Dong and sighed. "Dong'er, get up."

"I hope you'll do as you said and never betray Spirit Hall."

There was something else Qian Daoliu left unsaid: if Bibi Dong knowingly committed those wrongs in the future, she could not blame him for purging their ranks.

Only then did the still-kneeling Bibi Dong dare rise, promising, "I swear on my Martial Soul that I will never betray Spirit Hall. Otherwise, may my head be severed from my body!"

Seeing Qian Daoliu nod slightly without saying anything, Bibi Dong could not help breathing a sigh of relief, thinking that she had finally survived.

Looking at Fang Yuan beside her, Bibi Dong was overwhelmed with gratitude, believing that she had only managed to scrape through because he had spoken up for her.

Fang Yuan, thank you.

Bibi Dong silently repeated those words, thinking that since he had helped her so much, she had to repay him.

But this was a life-saving debt. How could she repay it appropriately?

Qian Daoliu turned to Angel Qian Renxue, wanting to understand exactly what had happened. "Xiao Xue, tell us in detail."

"Why did your mother betray Spirit Hall? Only by knowing what will happen can we take precautions."

Angel Qian Renxue thought so, too, so she told them about her mother and Yu Xiaogang, making it clear that Yu Xiaogang was nothing but a good-for-nothing.

"Mother was far too naive and innocent back then. To be more precise, she had no brains."

"At first, she pitied Yu Xiaogang and wanted to help him out of kindness. But because she'd lived a pampered life and had never seen how sinister people's hearts could be, Yu Xiaogang hoodwinked her."

"Mother gave Yu Xiaogang Spirit Hall's confidential documents to examine. In the process, she even fell in love with him, and information about the Angel God Armor was leaked as well."

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu could not help looking at young Bibi Dong, his fists clenching tightly.

Bibi Dong had only just caught her breath. At the sight of this, her legs went weak with fear again.

"Grandpa Qian, I would never do that!"

"That Yu Xiaogang or whatever his name is-I'll beat him to death if I see him! I won't betray Spirit Hall!"

Why was this Yu Xiaogang so awful!

Bibi Dong was almost crying from fear. Only seven years old, she instinctively sought someone to lean on and unconsciously walked over to Fang Yuan, reaching out to clutch the hem of his clothes...
