Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
Spirit Hall, Worship Hall.
Qian Yuhan's divine sense avatar appeared inside the Worship Hall with Bo Saixi.
When Qian Daoliu saw Qian Yuhan, he cried out excitedly, "Ancestor!"
"Bo Saixi, why are you here?" Qian Daoliu looked at Bo Saixi in astonishment.
Before Bo Saixi could speak, Qian Yuhan spoke first. "Qian Daoliu, don't you like Bo Saixi? I made a special trip to Sea God Island for you, to have Bo Saixi become your wife."
"Pick an auspicious date yourself and hold your wedding. I'll personally preside over it when the time comes."
Faced with Qian Yuhan's announcement, Qian Daoliu hesitated. He had already understood what she meant, and he could not help thinking:
The ancestor must have forced Bo Saixi.
If I take Bo Saixi as my wife,
will Bo Saixi resent me in the future?
If Bo Saixi resents me,
will it adversely affect our future children?
Qian Daoliu could not help thinking of Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong. It was precisely because of the wrong Qian Xunji had committed against Bibi Dong that Qian Renxue had suffered such a miserable childhood.
He had been unwilling to kill Bibi Dong partly because he felt guilty toward her, and partly because he hoped she could give Qian Renxue some love.
After all, Qian Renxue had only just lost her father at the time. He did not want her to lose her mother immediately afterward.
But now it seemed that what he had done back then might have been wrong.
Yet even Qian Renxue herself had forgiven Bibi Dong. If he went to kill Bibi Dong now, he could not get past that hurdle in his heart.
Seeing Qian Daoliu hesitate, Qian Yuhan asked, "Qian Daoliu, what is it? Don't you want to marry Bo Saixi and make her your wife?"
"Since you don't want to marry her, I'll just kill her, to keep her from becoming a source of trouble later." As Qian Yuhan spoke, she moved to act.
"Ancestor, wait." Qian Daoliu hurriedly stopped Qian Yuhan.
Although he feared Bo Saixi would blame him in the future, he wanted even less to see her die.
He looked at Bo Saixi and asked, "Bo Saixi, are you willing to marry me?"
Although Qian Daoliu knew the question was pointless, he still had to ask.
What if Bo Saixi was unwilling in the first place?
If Bo Saixi was unwilling, he would never force her.
He would do everything he could to persuade Qian Yuhan to let Bo Saixi leave rather than kill her.
Bo Saixi clearly would not have thought of any of this. All she wanted now was to stay alive, and she hurriedly nodded and said:
"Qian Daoliu, I'm willing to marry you."
With those words from Bo Saixi, Qian Daoliu no longer agonized over it. He looked at Qian Yuhan and said:
"Ancestor, since Bo Saixi is willing to marry me, I'm willing to take her as my wife."
"I'd like to ask you to choose a good date for us."
"All right, but before that, I need to deal with a few things."
Qian Yuhan agreed to Qian Daoliu's request, then added, "But Qian Daoliu, you've truly disappointed me with some of the things you've done."
"Since Bibi Dong killed a member of my Qian Family, she should pay with her life, not become the Pope of Spirit Hall."
Having said that, Qian Yuhan was about to leave.
Qian Daoliu hurriedly called out to stop Qian Yuhan. "Ancestor, Bibi Dong is also a pitiful person, and she's Xiao Xue's mother."
"Please spare her life."
"Spare her life?"
"She's also a pitiful person?"
Qian Yuhan sneered:
"Wasn't your son pitiful?"
"He was clearly the one who nurtured Bibi Dong and gave her everything."
"It would have been one thing if Bibi Dong merely showed no gratitude, but she even killed Qian Xunji in the end."
"And you're telling me someone like that is pitiful?"
"She merely brought it upon herself!"
"Also, I don't know what you were thinking, actually sending Qian Renxue to Heaven Dou as an undercover agent."
"Your tenure as Great Enshrined has come to an end."
"If not for the fact that you resurrected me and allowed my cultivation to break through to God King,"
"Qian Daoliu, you'd have a bitter harvest to reap."
With that, Qian Yuhan turned and left, no longer arguing with Qian Daoliu.
That was simply the kind of person she was.
There were rewards and discipline, as well as punishments.
When someone did the right thing, she would reward them.
But if they did something wrong or acted foolishly, she would also criticize them publicly, point it out, and even punish them.
If Qian Daoliu had not resurrected her and allowed her to ascend to God King, she would not have let him off easily, given the string of foolish things he had done.
Watching Qian Yuhan leave, Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly. He knew he could not stop her.
Douluo Continent, Spirit City.
Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.
Qian Yuhan's divine sense avatar appeared before Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Yuhan with a frown and asked tentatively, "Are you the Angel God King?"
"Bibi Dong, do you know what crimes you've committed?" Qian Yuhan asked in return.
Although Bibi Dong had not received the answer she wanted, seeing Qian Yuhan's manner, she was already certain that the divine sense avatar before her was the Angel God King.
She kept cursing inwardly:
Qian Daoliu, is there something wrong with your brain?
You passed up the chance to become a god.
Yet you just had to resurrect the Angel God.
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and knelt on the ground. She was someone who could bend or stand tall as circumstances demanded.
From Qian Yuhan's tone, she knew Qian Yuhan had come to hold her accountable.
She knew better than anyone what crimes she had committed, but she did not believe all those things were her fault. Qian Xunji had clearly been in the wrong first.
But faced with the domineering Qian Yuhan, she certainly could not say that. She had to admit her wrongdoing first, then expose Qian Xunji's crimes and faults.
Bibi Dong said, "Angel God King, I know that killing Qian Xunji made you very angry."
"But please hear me out. I had no choice but to do it. If anyone is to blame for all this, it's Qian Xunji."
"You have no idea how depraved Qian Xunji was. I was his disciple!"
"To stop me, he actually knocked me unconscious, dragged me into a secret chamber, and raped me."
"You're a woman too. Surely you can empathize with me."
"What woman wouldn't hate a beast like Qian Xunji, hate him enough to grind her teeth?"
"Although I killed Qian Xunji, I don't believe what I did was wrong."
Qian Yuhan looked at Bibi Dong indifferently and said, "Bibi Dong, although I am a woman,"
"I cannot empathize with what you've done."
"You brought everything upon yourself!"
"It would have been one thing if you merely refused to repent, but you actually killed your teacher, Qian Xunji."
"Your crimes are utterly heinous!"
Hearing Qian Yuhan pronounce judgment on her, Bibi Dong refused to accept it and immediately objected loudly.
Meanwhile, Tang Chen had long since left Slaughter City. Rather than immediately seeking out Qian Daoliu to settle the score, he flew toward Vast Sea City.
Once he passed Vast Sea City and flew a little farther, he would reach Sea God Island.
Looking out at the vast sea, Tang Chen murmured to himself, "Xiao Xi, have you been well all these years?"
"I've finally become a god."
"I'm coming to find you right away."
"We'll be together forever."
