Douluo: Star-Breaking Sword God

Chapter 140 Bibi Dong: What are you afraid of?

“Your Majesty.” Ling Qianyao frowned slightly and took a step back. “I’m afraid I have no right to interfere with Xue’er’s wishes.”

Bibi Dong smiled knowingly. "Oh? It seems you still don't understand what I mean."

Whether Qian Renxue is unconscious or not is irrelevant. All I want is a promise from you—a promise that you'll use your martial spirit ability to help me when I need it.

Ling Qianyao was silent for a moment, "If Your Majesty really does something against common sense due to a loss of mental control, I will do my best to help you."

To consume the Jade Marrow Tranquil Lotus, simply place each petal in your mouth; it will transform into pure medicinal power. Then, swallow the small amount of crystal-clear sap from the center of the flower.

After saying that, he picked up Qian Renxue and left.

Bibi Dong stopped in her tracks, her fingertips tracing her lips, her eyes filled with Ling Qianyao's image. "There's nothing I can't get that I want."

That night, deep within the Papal Palace, in a secret chamber.

Bibi Dong leaned lazily against the soft couch, her delicate hands gently lifting the jade lotus of tranquility, its petals shimmering with a warm glow in the dim candlelight.

As the fragrance of the herbal medicine lingered, the last trace of scarlet in her eyes disappeared.

“Calm the mind and nourish the spirit, it does match its name.” Bibi Dong’s lips parted slightly, her eyes were clear, her evil thoughts were suppressed, but her state of mind would not change easily.

"Ling Qianyao"

Bibi Dong suddenly sighed, "If you hadn't chosen to go to Heaven Dou City and had come to my Spirit City instead, I wouldn't have been so conflicted. But perhaps it's not too late."

As soon as she finished speaking, she swallowed the Jade Marrow Tranquil Lotus according to the method Ling Qianyao had told her.

The pure, refreshing medicinal power instantly spread throughout her body, cleansing her soul, which was riddled with holes due to the erosion of the Rakshasa God's power, like a babbling brook.

She felt her previously confused thoughts gradually clear up, and the fatigue and irritability of the past few days were swept away.

"Well"

Cleansing involves the soul and spirit; the pleasant feeling disappears, and the medicinal power collides and tears with the evil thoughts of the demons.

She pursed her lips, her delicate face contorted slightly with pain, her forehead covered in fine beads of sweat that slid down her cheeks, down her beautiful collarbone, and into her clothes.

After a long time, the pain subsided, and the chaotic thoughts gradually cleared, bringing a sense of clarity.

"call--"

Bibi Dong exhaled a breath of stale air, stood up, and stepped into the bathroom. In the secluded bathroom, where no one knew her, the air was filled with steam. She gently took off her clothes and stepped into the warm water.

Her graceful figure was partially obscured by the misty vapor, and even through the flowing water, her perfect curves could be glimpsed.

The delicate collarbone is slightly concave, making the skin on both sides appear even more radiant.

Her fingertips traced the proud spot, then caressed the long, slender legs, like a masterpiece of nature, without a single flaw.

Bibi Dong leaned against the edge of the bathtub, closed her eyes, and enjoyed this moment of tranquility.

"How long has it been since I felt this comfortable feeling? My disordered mind sometimes prevents me from calmly thinking about what I'm planning."

And there's this remaining, inexplicable divine power.

Bibi Dong suddenly opened her eyes, and a wisp of purplish-red divine power appeared in her palm. "Over the years, it has gradually lost its characteristics, but I can still sense it. Rakshasa! Asura!"

"boom--"

She crushed that wisp of divine power to dust! "Qian Xunji, the events of that year, the whole story, is so absurd. Illusion? Hmph, you pathetic worm fooled by the gods, you deserve to die a thousand deaths."

Oh, and one more, Yu Xiaogang. Illusion can't affect your true nature. It's your nature. The clown should suffer the same fate as Qian Xunji. Don't let me know where you are."

"Although the Jade Marrow Tranquil Lotus has repaired my soul, this Rakshasa evil thought has not been completely eradicated. Indeed, it is far from enough, Ling Qianyao."

For some unknown reason, a sickly flush appeared on her cheeks, and her eyes shone with a mixture of madness and obsession.

Qianrenxue Villa.

Ling Qianyao sat cross-legged on the roof, his brows furrowed. In front of him was the Shattered Star Sword, which floated in the air, with celestial phenomena constantly evolving around it.

Starlight intertwines and shifts, revealing a mysterious star map that appears and disappears, each glimmer of light seemingly containing the ultimate truths of the universe.

After the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye absorbs the Star Luo Spirit Pearl and condenses the liquid star vortex, the effect of the Astrology skill is enhanced. You have three chances a day to divine good or bad fortune, and you can also conduct in-depth fortune analysis.

This was his third astrological reading today, and the result was still—no blame.

The balance between good and bad fortune is in a delicate equilibrium, and even slightly tilted towards the "good" side.

But this only made Ling Qianyao feel a strange unease.

In broad daylight, the way Bibi Dong looked at him for that brief moment was like that of a hungry wolf that had just been released from prison after decades of suffering.
But suddenly, while drinking water at a pool, he saw a beautiful woman with an incredibly graceful figure who had taken off her clothes, and his greed and passion intertwined.

In that instant, Ling Qianyao felt as if he were being stared at by a snake, or rather, a Medusa-like snake.

"Ugh—this broken sword is useless. How can there not be danger? You're kidding me."

Qian Renxue, who was standing to the side, couldn't understand the changes in the stars, but asked softly, "Qian Yao, is the result ominous?"

"Neither good nor bad," Ling Qianyao shook his head, somewhat annoyed.

"That"

"Let's wait a little longer."

Qian Renxue nodded and rested her head on Ling Qianyao's shoulder, her voice sounding somewhat tired, "If possible, I hope you can help her with the treatment. Anyway, no matter what the outcome, we will be leaving in three days."

The message she sent that evening said the magical herb hadn't completely healed the damage to her soul.

Ling Qianyao sighed, "Xue'er, you're too kind."

Qian Renxue chuckled softly with her eyes closed, "Someone often calls me the cunning angel, doesn't he? You wicked brat."

The two remained silent, time flowed slowly, and in the quiet atmosphere, only the sound of their heartbeats could be clearly heard.

"Midnight has passed," Ling Qianyao said, and the Shattered Star Sword Astrology was activated again.

"What was the result?" Qian Renxue opened her eyes, her gaze full of concern.

Ling Qianyao's pupils suddenly dilated, and after a moment of silence, he murmured, "Ji?" He had an urge to throw away this broken sword.

Qian Renxue blinked, her tense nerves relaxing slightly, and the corners of her mouth turned up slightly. "In that case, I'll leave it to you."
-
The next day, at the Papal Palace.

"I have met Your Majesty."

“There’s no need to be so reserved,” Bibi Dong flashed to Ling Qianyao’s side, the two so close they could feel each other’s breath.

She raised her head slightly, looking into Ling Qianyao's eyes, "What are you afraid of?"
