Qian Renxue Calls Herself an Idiot. Does Bibi Dong Have a Thing for Ugly Men? What's Going On? I'll Give It a Try!
The more Qian Renxue heard, the more shocked she became, and the harder she found it to believe.
What?
Were they talking about her mother, Bibi Dong, and her?
Bibi Dong would actually fall for a good-for-nothing like Yu Xiaogang? Had she gone mad?
Was she really that stupid? Would she fall in love with the son of the man who killed her father?
And Bibi Dong would die pleading for mercy for her? Did that mean her mother cared about her?
Impossible! That's absolutely impossible! That's not me at all!
Seeing Qian Renxue's reaction, Mu Sheng grew even more mischievous.
Keep pretending. I'll make you give yourself a good, thorough scolding.
Smiling, he pressed on. "Don't you think I'm right? Aren't Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue stupid beyond belief?"
Tang Ya, who was beside him, nodded repeatedly and clapped her hands in agreement.
"Right, right, right! So stupid! As stupid as they come! Of all the people she could have fallen for, she picked Yu Xiaogang? Of all the people she could have recruited, she picked Tang San? What's wrong with their brains?"
When she finished, she nudged Qian Renxue with her elbow. "Don't you agree?"
Qian Renxue...
Qian Renxue's teeth ground together, but she still had to wear a proper smile as part of her disguise. Bracing herself, she nodded with difficulty.
"Yes... hearing it put that way, they really were stupid."
In the Douluo II animated world, everyone beneath the heavenly screen was shocked and laughing themselves silly.
"Hahahaha! She called herself stupid! I'm dying!"
"Mu Sheng's tongue is vicious! He aired all her dirty laundry right to her face!"
"Qian Renxue's expression! I'm dying! Her face turned green, and she still had to nod and agree!"
"Sea God Tang San really is charming! Even the daughter of the man who killed his father fell for him!"
"Isn't that right? Qian Renxue was the Angel God's inheritor, and she fell for the son of the man who killed her father. Who would believe that?"
"Same goes for Bibi Dong. The Pope herself fell for Yu Xiaogang. The mother and daughter's terrible taste really does run in the family!"
In the Douluo I world, an uproar also broke out beneath the heavenly screen.
"Bibi Dong would actually fall for a fraud like Yu Xiaogang? Does she have a thing for ugly men?"
A Soul Master with a face full of pockmarks stroked his chin and pondered for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he turned to his companion.
"Brother, what if I go wait outside Spirit Hall and find a way to get close to Bibi Dong? What if I'm just her type? If I win her over, I'll rise to glory!"
His companion's eyes lit up. "Big brother, you have a point. Let's go try it right now."
Many sects were shocked. "Spirit Hall has a Godhood Inheritance? The Angel God? There's a god backing Spirit Hall?"
"Bibi Dong actually has a daughter! She didn't end up with Yu Xiaogang, so whose daughter is she?"
"Aren't you focusing on the wrong thing? Isn't the important question who Tang San actually is? He's that damn awesome!"
At the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Xue Ye stared at the words "Nation-Stealing Plan" on the heavenly screen, his face turning from ashen to purplish-black.
He sprang to his feet, flung his imperial robes aside, and pointed outside the hall as he roared, "Guards! Raze the crown prince's residence to the ground! Don't spare a single corner! Seize everyone connected to Xue Qinghe and interrogate them!"
Xue Ye paused, then added,
"Draft a letter for me and send it to Spirit Hall! I want to ask Bibi Dong what her people were plotting when they infiltrated my Heaven Dou Imperial Family!"
The commander of the guards outside the hall accepted his orders and rushed off.
Xue Ye dropped back onto the throne, his chest still heaving. "Stealing the nation... stealing the nation! My empire nearly fell into someone else's hands!"
At Spirit Hall, Hu Liena pointed at her own name on the heavenly screen, looking utterly distraught.
"Me? I fell for Tang San? The Tang San who destroyed Spirit Hall?"
"Was I crazy? I gave up my place in the Spirit Hall Golden Generation to fall for someone who destroyed our Spirit Hall?"
Yan, however, sprang to his feet. Even more agitated than Hu Liena, his face flushed red, he burst out in his booming voice:
"That's absolutely impossible! How could Nana fall for that Tang San? Mu Sheng is making it all up! Talking nonsense! Spouting whatever comes to mind!"
Yan's outburst stunned Hu Liena for a moment. Then she folded her arms and gave him a sidelong look.
"Oh? Why are you so worked up?"
Yan's face grew even redder, and he stiffened his neck. "I... I just think he's talking nonsense! Right, nonsense!"
In the Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong's expression had grown beyond grim. She clutched her scepter, which had crumbled to pieces, as waves of purple light surged around her.
The guards and maids beside her were so frightened that they all knelt on the floor, not daring to breathe too loudly.
"Mu Sheng... what a fine Mu Sheng you are!"
"Who gave you the right to wag your tongue about me in public?"
What weighed even more heavily on her chest were the words that followed: the Nation-Stealing Plan had failed, and she had died pleading for Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong closed her eyes and told herself over and over that it was false, that Mu Sheng had made it all up.
How could she, Bibi Dong, possibly die for Qian Renxue?
She had barely cared for that daughter after giving birth to her, leaving her with Qian Daoliu and sending her to the Heaven Dou Empire. Mother and daughter had hardly exchanged a few words.
How could she possibly have pleaded for her? Let alone died for Qian Renxue?
Absurd!
It's all false!
Outside the Rose Hotel, Xiao Wu still wore an innocent smile, but inside, rivers and seas were churning.
Little San's father was the Clear Sky Douluo, a Titled Douluo, and the man who killed Qian Renxue's father.
She secretly glanced at Tang San and saw that he wasn't paying attention to her. She breathed a small sigh of relief.
He probably didn't recognize me as a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, right??
I've never even met Little San's father. If he'd recognized me, he would have attacked me long ago. Would he have let me live until now?
That must be it! But she still couldn't put her mind at ease.
Xiao Wu's eyes darted around, and she quietly took half a step back.
Little San, I'm sorry. I have to find a way to run.
Take care of yourself!
In the heavenly screen's image, Qian Renxue took several deep breaths and finally managed to make her expression presentable again.
She stared at Mu Sheng, her tone a little cautious and probing. "All those things you said... are they true? You didn't just make up a story to fool me, did you?"
Before Mu Sheng could speak, Tang Ya rolled her eyes, folded her arms, and cut in.
"Make up what? This is common knowledge on the continent! Have you even forgotten that?"
As Tang Ya spoke, she looked Qian Renxue up and down. Suddenly, she seemed to remember something.
"Oh, right, your name is Bibi Xue. What's your relationship to Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue from Spirit Hall, which was destroyed ten thousand years ago?"
Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat, and she nearly lost her smile.
Mu Sheng stood beside them without a word, watching with interest to see how Qian Renxue would explain her way out of it.
Just then, his eyebrow suddenly twitched. Without warning, a ripple spread through his mind, and his spiritual perception, as if drawn by something, automatically extended in one direction.
This was the spiritual power amplification that came with the Shendu Martial Soul. Ever since awakening it, his spiritual power had been several times more substantial than that of Soul Masters at the same level.
Moreover, he didn't need to actively use it. As long as fluctuations in Soul Power, signs of life, or sounds of battle within a certain range reached a certain threshold,
he would automatically sense them. It was as if an invisible net had been added to his mind, and not the slightest rustle of wind or grass could escape him.
