In the Papal Palace, in the study and bedroom, Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, not knowing how much time had passed.
He slowly straightened up, leaning his back against the headboard, recalling what happened before he lost consciousness. He only remembered that when Qian Renxue asked him questions, he suddenly lost control. At that moment, he only had one thought in his mind: to kill Qian Renxue and Jun Yi and destroy the evidence.
Now that she was fully awake, she realized something was wrong. Why did she suddenly have such thoughts? She sat cross-legged and used the Rakshasa Divine Power she had mastered to examine her body.
But when she actually summoned the Rakshasa Divine Power, she discovered something unusual. Previously, every time she used the Rakshasa Divine Power, it was accompanied by pain, and she felt a strong repulsive force while using it. This time, however, she not only felt no pain when using the Divine Power, but it was also unusually smooth. What was going on?
When she examined her body, she discovered that a corner of her soul was Ice Seal by a magic array composed of several streams of cold air. That place was what she had previously thought was the Godhood, which was what Jun Yi had said was the remnant soul of the Rakshasa Divine Sense that was supposed to control her.
"Could what he said be true? Have I really been subtly influenced by it all these years, which is why I've become like this?"
Bibi Dong sensed her emotions; there weren't any particularly noticeable changes, but some of her previous thoughts did seem quite extreme to her.
It's like Destruction the Spirit Hall, Destruction all forces, and even the entire Douluo Continent. Would I really Destruction the whole world for a man? Is he really worth it?
Qian Xunji died by his own hand long ago, and he had already released all his pain. Shouldn't he let go?
Bibi Dong pondered, she got out of bed. She didn't know how long she had slept, but judging from the sky, it must have been early morning, and she hadn't yet dealt with her tasks for the day.
After putting on her shoes, she walked towards the door. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a woman who looked exactly like her, wearing Pope tiara, working diligently beside her.
"Mom, you're awake!"
After hearing the door open, Qian Renxue looked up at Bibi Dong and smiled.
A golden light flashed, and Qian Renxue returned to her original form.
" Xue'er, why are you still here? I thought you had already gone back."
"Our Heaven Dou Royal Academy is having some good luck today. Dugu Yan has drawn another bye. Today's match is Shrek Academy vs. Godwind Academy, so I don't need to be there."
As she spoke, Qian Renxue picked up the letter beside her and continued, "Mom, some teams have already started giving you feedback, saying they want you to change the tournament's rules and remove the bye system."
"But thinking about it, it makes sense. Dugu Yan was so lucky that even I, who thinks it was all rigged, was lucky. If it were any other team, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire might have filed a complaint."
Qian Renxue smiled and said Bibi Dong Bibi Dong.
"Luck is also a part of strength. Some people can always rely on luck to get to the end. This opinion can be directly rejected," Bibi Dong replied calmly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue smiled slightly, "My mother and I think the same way. Luck is also a part of strength. Besides, if one is strong enough, one won't really care about those who rely on luck to get to the end. So I have already rejected this opinion."
" Xue'er, what time is it now?" Bibi Dong asked.
"It's almost 9 AM, Mom. Why don't you go and rest for a while? There's not much to do today; everyone's focused on the competition."
Bibi Dong smiled slightly and said, "No need. I slept very well and peacefully last night. I haven't slept so peacefully in a long time."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong sat down next to Qian Renxue, intending to attend to her business. Qian Renxue was very obedient and immediately made way for Bibi Dong.
"Mom, Jun Yi said he can completely eliminate that divine thought in your soul, do you want to..."
Qian Renxue tentatively inquired of Bibi Dong.
Looking at the information about the competition in her hand, Bibi Dong slowly said, "Did he make any demands?"
" Jun Yi didn't mention any conditions; he said he wanted to see what kind of conditions you could offer him, Mom."
"It seems he was indeed Ning Fengzhi. If it were the old him, he might already be healed by now," Bibi Dong said slowly.
"Mom, you seem to know Jun Yi very well?"
"I've heard She Long talk about Jun Yi's childhood before, and Ning Fengzhi has also talked to me about the child's past, so I know a bit about him."
"Most importantly, I must find out what this child's true nature is. After all, he is nominally your adopted child. If he is truly a person of extremely poor character, a born bad seed, I will send someone to eliminate him. I cannot allow him to become an obstacle to your mission," Bibi Dong said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately hugged Bibi Dong's waist, a bright smile spreading across her face. "Mom, I didn't expect you to care about me so much. I'm so happy!"
As she spoke, Qian Renxue nuzzled her head against Bibi Dong's chest.
"Stop rubbing, it itches!"
"Okay." Qian Renxue obediently stopped, but her head remained nestled in Bibi Dong's arms. She raised her head slightly and asked, "Mom, do you want Jun Yi to help you with your treatment?"
"To be honest, I haven't felt this relaxed in years. It's like a shackle has been removed from my body."
" Xue'er, what kind of conditions do you think would move Jun Yi's heart?"
Bibi Dong asked Qian Renxue.
"He was betrayed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect before. I think you should offer some conditions that show the Spirit Hall's sincerity, Mom."
"Sincerity..."
After a brief moment of contemplation, Bibi Dong turned to Qian Renxue and said, " Xue'er, how about you marry Jun Yi? This is the most sincere offer I can think of."
"Why?"
Qian Renxue was truly taken aback by Bibi Dong's words. Her eyes widened as she stared blankly at her mother.
"Haha, I was just kidding. How could I possibly use my daughter as a bargaining chip? Xue'er, don't be so nervous."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong gently rubbed Qian Renxue's head, looking at her with doting affection.
Compared to what Bibi Dong had just said, her current behavior shocked Qian Renxue even more. Her own mother was actually joking with her? Was it for real?
"Could this be my mother, unaffected by the remnant of her divine will? If she can always remain like this, I'd be willing to use me as a condition."
