Douluo Continent: The Martial Soul Luo Sanpao, a Counterattack Against the Dragon God

Chapter 42 Bibi Dong's Madness: Impossible! How could Qian Xunji have treated me like that back then?

Faced with an opportunity that could make her stronger and allow her to see a wider world, the girl agreed without hesitation.

The scene shifts to the magnificent Martial Soul City, inside the Papal Palace.

The young Bibi Dong met that man for the first time—the then Pope, Qian Xunji.

In the picture, Qian Xunji is wearing a papal golden robe, with a handsome face and a majestic yet gentle demeanor.

His gaze toward Bibi Dong was filled with admiration and praise, as if he were looking at a piece of uncut, exquisite jade.

"Excellent! What a magnificent twin martial soul! What an unparalleled genius!"

Qian Xunji's voice echoed in the empty hall, filled with joy.

"From this day forward, you will be my only personal disciple, Qian Xunji."

All the resources of the Spirit Hall will be directed towards you!

Everyone under the sky saw how Qian Xunji fulfilled his promise.

He personally guided Bibi Dong's cultivation, found the most suitable soul ring for her, and treated her as his own daughter, nurturing her with care.

Bibi Dong also displayed unparalleled talent, her soul power advancing by leaps and bounds, making her the most dazzling new star among the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.

During those years, the bond between teacher and student was deep, and they enjoyed a harmonious and joyful time together.

In the eyes of the world, this is a perfect script:

A gifted girl is discovered by a talent scout, thrives under the guidance of her mentor, and eventually inherits the throne.

The Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall were thrilled; this was simply the Spirit Hall's most glorious promotional video ever!

However, in Nottingham City, Master Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the sky, his hands clenched into fists so tightly that his nails dug deep into his palms, oblivious to the blood flowing out.

The smiling girl on the screen, her eyes sparkling with boundless hope for the future, slowly overlapped with the figure deep in his memory.

His heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain making it hard to breathe.

But Yu Xiaogang knew that all of this was just an illusion!
On the throne in the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong looked at her "innocent and carefree" self in the sky and at her "kind and approachable" teacher.

Her exquisite face remained completely unmoved, and deep within her purple eyes lay only an unyielding coldness and mockery.

Those years, which she once regarded as the warmest and most hopeful, now appear so ironic and laughable under the reflection of the sky.

The so-called mentor, the so-called cultivation...

That teacher-student relationship is nothing more than a sugar coating wrapped around the world's dirtiest and most vicious desires.

She waited quietly, waiting for the heavens to tear away the sugary facade and reveal the truth about her, hidden away for a lifetime.

The secret that they were even willing to risk their lives to protect was made public.

The scene in the sky continued.

Bibi Dong's heart stirred.

This seemingly bright period is about to reach its darkest turning point.

To expose Qian Xunji's ugly intentions to everyone!
The scene continued in the sky.

Even as an adult, Bibi Dong, under Qian Xunji's wing, still retains a naive innocence that makes her unaware of the ways of the world.

Dressed in the magnificent robes of the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, she walked up the steps of Pope Mountain, drawing respectful and admiring glances from every spirit master along the way.

She would be overjoyed by a perfect release of a soul skill, and would laugh like a child at a compliment from her teacher, Qian Xunji.

This scene is as beautiful as a painting.

However, on the throne in the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong's body was trembling slightly.

wrong!

This is not right!
In her memory, although Qian Xunji had mentored her, deep within those gentle eyes, there always lurked a chilling possessiveness that she couldn't comprehend at the time!

The way he looked at her was never like he was looking at his daughter, but rather like he was looking at a perfect piece of art that was about to become his own!

He was kind to me because of my twin martial soul talent, and because of my perfect appearance, which allowed me to give birth to a child for him and the Angel Clan, a child with exceptional talent who combined the strengths of both families!

That kindness was full of purpose and calculation from the very beginning!
But why... why is the figure displayed on the sky so upright and gentle, like a kind father?
The way he looked at himself was so pure, so full of expectation and pride, without the slightest impurity.

"Sky Curtain... what exactly do you want?"

Bibi Dong's fingernails dug deeply into the armrests of the golden throne, her purple eyes filled with unprecedented confusion and a hint of fear that she herself was unaware of.

Could it be... could it be that there's something wrong with her memory?

Do not!
impossible!
The pain and humiliation that penetrated to the bone could not possibly be fake!
***
Meanwhile, deep within the Spirit Hall, in the Offering Hall.

Qian Daoliu, who was sitting cross-legged, slowly opened his eyes. His cloudy gaze pierced through the palace and landed on the sky.

The image shows his long-deceased son, Chihiro.

Looking at the gentle, loving son in the picture who treated Bibi Dong as his own, Qian Daoliu showed no relief on his face; instead, his brows furrowed even more.

"Ji'er..."

Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh.

How could I not know my own son?
He is proud, arrogant, and ambitious, and will stop at nothing to achieve the glory of the angel race.

He might appreciate Bibi Dong's talent, but he could never have such pure paternal love.

What the sky revealed was a son he had never seen before, and one he had even hoped for.

"This isn't real..."

Qian Daoliu slowly closed his eyes. "Tianmu, are you revealing a truth that no one knows...?"

Qian Daoliu sighed inwardly.

Regardless of Qian Xunji's initial attitude towards Bibi Dong.

But in the end, that thing was done.

This is a stain that the angel race can never wash away.

After today, his angel clan will likely bear a heavy burden of blame!
Although many people do not openly rebel against the Spirit Hall due to their limited strength, to be precise, they dare not openly rebel against the Hall of Offerings.

After all, the biggest victim, Bibi Dong, is now the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

***
Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang stared blankly at the sky, his heart feeling as if it had been torn in two.

Half of the time, I felt a sense of relief for the innocent and carefree Bibi Dong in the picture.

It turns out that she had such happy times before she met him.

The other half, however, was overwhelmed by even deeper pain.

If... if Chihiro was truly such a perfect teacher, then what caused all the tragedies that followed?

A thought, like a venomous snake, burrowed into his mind, chilling him to the bone.

"Could it be... because of me?"

Yu Xiaogang's lips had lost all color.

If it weren't for his appearance, could Bibi Dong have continued to be so happy and eventually inherited the position of Pope, becoming the most dazzling pearl of Douluo Continent?
