Chapter 12: Please… Spare the Child
[Su Yan: And the final result was… Bibi Dong gave birth to a daughter, Qian Renxue.]
[Su Yan: I'm not someone who firmly believes "good is rewarded with good, evil with evil," but Qian Xunji truly did reap the consequences of his own actions.]
[Su Yan: After that, Bibi Dong endured silently until the Rakshasa God Legacy arrived. Qian Xunji was severely injured while pursuing Tang Hao's wife, the 100,000-year Blue Silver Emperor, which triggered the first trial of the Rakshasa God—devouring the Angel's Soul.]
---
BOOM!
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue felt as if struck by five bolts of heavenly thunder. Her mind blanked, her knees gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.
"No…"
"No, no… it's not like that…"
She had finally found the answer she had been searching for all her life— But the truth was far too painful. She couldn't accept it.
In her memories, her father, Qian Xunji, had died from severe injuries.
But now, with Su Yan's explanation before her… she couldn't accept it at all.
What hurt even more was—Su Yan kept speaking, and her mother, Bibi Dong, did not deny a single word.
This proved that everything Su Yan said was true, all of it!
Today was pure agony for Qian Renxue.
The kind of pain that made it hard to breathe.
Ning Rongrong and the others fell silent again.
Even if they felt a strange sense of justice in Qian Xunji's retribution… Thinking about Bibi Dong's daughter, they couldn't help but feel immense pity.
What a tragic background!
Spirit Hall.
Hu Liena's legs nearly gave out from fear.
"It's over."
"I'm probably going to get silenced by my teacher, aren't I?"
"Wuuuu—if I'd known, I would've denied everything earlier! Why did I expose my identity? I regret it so much!"
"Xue'er… poor Xue'er, but I think I'm even more pitiful right now!"
Hu Liena actually burst into tears.
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong, however, felt something inside her loosen at this moment.
The deepest secret in her heart had been exposed— The person she hated most was already dead by her own hand.
Perhaps… she could finally let go of some of the darkness.
But—
How could she ever face Xue'er?
If one day…
Xue'er learned the truth. How much pain would she suffer?
Bibi Dong didn't dare imagine it.
But Qian Renxue already knew. Qian Renxue was already in so much pain she could hardly breathe—and she had even begun to feel despair and thoughts of ending everything.
She had finally found the truth she sought, but it was a truth she could never accept.
Her father.
Her mother.
Her father had forced her mother.
And her mother had killed her father.
Qian Renxue triggered the hidden mechanism to her room's secret chamber, rushed inside while sobbing, and began crying her heart out—every wail filled with anguish.
At the same time—
Besides the overwhelming pain, she also fell into complete confusion about her future.
She had always believed she wasn't good enough, that she couldn't earn Bibi Dong's approval. She wanted to prove herself, to achieve greatness, to make Bibi Dong look at her with pride.
That was why she had come to the Heaven Dou Empire at such a young age.
But now, all of it feels meaningless.
She truly believed…
She should never have come into this world.
[Su Yan: Let this be a warning to everyone—after Bibi Dong completed the first trial of the Rakshasa God, she began to be affected by the Rakshasa God's evil thoughts. Her heart grew twisted and filled with malice. Combined with her dark past and her regret over Yu Xiaogang, she nearly became a mad woman who wanted to destroy the entire world.]
[Su Yan: Everyone in the group, once you reach this part, be extremely careful. Whatever you do, don't reveal your identity. If you expose yourself after learning such a massive secret about Bibi Dong, then congratulations—you've basically chosen the way to death!]
[Everyone: ???]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Huh? I—I don't know anything!]
[Yan Zi Is Not a Swallow: If I say I suddenly went blind today, will you believe me?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Die then, old lunatic.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Su Yan… you won't expose our identities, right?]
[Carrot Lover: Wait, my brain suddenly feels itchy. Su Yan, do you… Know who I am? Are you the Su Yan I know in real life?!]
[Su Yan: Relax, everyone. Even though I've seen the River of Time, I don't actually know your identities. The group members are chosen randomly by the Jade Mirror. All I know is that you're all from the Douluo 1 world.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: What does that even mean? There's a Douluo 2 or 3 world too?]
[Cat in the Shadows: What is Douluo 1 supposed to be?]
[Su Yan: The Douluo World is divided into several eras. The timeline you're currently in is Douluo 1. Ten thousand years later becomes Douluo 2, and another ten thousand years after that is Douluo 3…]
[Su Yan: Earlier, I mentioned Tang Hao and A Yin. Tang Hao is the Clear Sky Douluo. Their son, Tang San, is the protagonist of the Douluo 1 world… and the one who will soon destroy the Spirit Hall.]
[Carrot Lover: Tang San?]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Does that mean group members from ten thousand years later will also join our chat someday?]
[Yan Zi Is Not a Swallow: Isn't that a bit too wild?]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Where is Bibi Dong? Come online already. Hurry up and question Su Yan—his bragging is reaching the heavens right now.]
[Hu Liena: Can you all stop for a moment? Su Yan, I need to ask… I already revealed my identity. What do I do now?]
[Everyone: ??? Hahaha!!]
[My Surname is Not Yu: Little Fox, you're doomed. You learned Bibi Dong's biggest secret. Prepare for death!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: I, Hu Liena, swear to protect Bibi Dong to the death!]
[Yan Zi Is Not a Swallow: I know it's rude to laugh right now… but I really can't help it! Hahahaha!]
At this moment, Bibi Dong—already upset from earlier—saw the group chat and instantly felt speechless.
'Seriously?'
'You little brat. I'm your teacher. And you suspect me like this?'
[Bibi Dong: Nana! Come to the Pope's Palace immediately.]
[Hu Liena: Teacher… I don't dare go. I really didn't see anything.]
[Bibi Dong: I am your teacher. Do you really think I would silence you?]
[Hu Liena: But… Su Yan said earlier, You're affected by the Rakshasa God's evil thoughts…]
[Bibi Dong: !!!]
[Su Yan: Bibi Dong, give me some face and don't touch her. I still have secrets you want to know. Group members are not allowed to harm each other!]
[Bibi Dong: Shut up! You are the crazy one. Your whole family is crazy. No matter what happens, I, Bibi Dong, would never harm my disciple!]
In the Pope's Palace—
Bibi Dong was truly fuming.
This scoundrel!
'What would I even gain from silencing her?!'
'There are so many people in the group—I don't even know who is who. Why would I target my own disciple?!'
[Bibi Dong: Nana, get here now!]
[Hu Liena: Teacher, I'd like to request leave… to go see Xiao Xue.]
[Bibi Dong: You can talk about that after you come to me first.]
[Hu Liena: …Can I not go?]
[Bibi Dong: What do you think?]
This child!
Bibi Dong and Hu Liena's little exchange made everyone in the chat burst into uncontrollable laughter.
[My Surname is Not Yu: Bibi Dong, I think Hu Liena is innocent. There's no need to drag her down with you.]
[Yan Zi Is Not a Swallow: Yeah, we all know the secret now. Silencing her won't help.]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Please spare the child! Her legs are probably shaking right now!]
