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

Chapter 45 Yu Xiaogang's Impotent Rage, Yu Jingcheng: Love-Brained Serves Him Right!
Bibi Dong suddenly grabbed a pillow from the side and threw it hard at the maid who was standing quietly to the side with an expressionless face.

But the soft pillow had no strength at all. The maid took it easily, put it back in its place, and watched her like a puppeteer, without the slightest ripple of emotion.

Bibi Dong was breathing heavily, trying to mobilize her soul power.

Her body was completely empty; the once surging and powerful energy was completely locked away, leaving her like a bird with broken wings, where even ending her own life became a luxury.

She tried starving herself, but she always found a way to stay alive.

She tried to crash into something, but the constant surveillance prevented her from even having the chance to die.

She was like a collectible forcibly branded with someone else's mark, deprived even of the power to destroy herself.

Day after day, amidst boundless despair and hatred, her belly gradually swelled.

She could clearly feel the nurturing of that little life, but this process brought her not the slightest maternal warmth, only bone-chilling humiliation and overwhelming hatred.

She cursed countless times in her heart, hoping that this "bastard child" that should not exist would disappear.

However, under absolute military restraint and close surveillance, she couldn't even do that.

The scenes shift, and time flies.

Finally, after a “birth” witnessed by no one, only by cold machinery and indifferent gazes, the cry of a baby rang out in the sealed room.

The camera gave a brief shot of the newborn baby girl.

She had sparse, golden baby hair, and her tiny fists flailing about, completely unaware of the original sin of her birth and the pain she brought to her mother.

Bibi Dong, lying on the bed, simply closed her eyes wearily and numbly. There were no tears in the corners of her eyes, only dried blood and a deep, bone-deep hatred.

She didn't even glance at the child, as if he had nothing to do with her, merely a dirty appendage that had to be shed.

This woman was none other than Qian Renxue.

Its birth was not the fruit of love, but proof of power, possession, and sin.

The sky's commentary, like the final judgment, has branded this dark past.

The Heavenly Dou Empire, Heavenly Dou City, Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.

"Bang!"

Qian Renxue (Xue Qinghe) could no longer maintain the demeanor of a prince. He collapsed backward as if all his strength had left him, knocking over the sandalwood chair behind him.

Her face was deathly pale, and her golden pupils trembled violently, almost losing their focus.

“Bastard…I am…a bastard…”

Qian Renxue repeated the two words absentmindedly, each word like a poisoned dagger, piercing her heart, which already yearned for maternal love, leaving it riddled with holes.

She had always thought that her mother was just cold-hearted or too busy with the affairs of the Spirit Hall to take care of her.

She thought it was because she wasn't good enough that she couldn't gain her mother's approval.

So she worked desperately, disguised herself and went into hiding, wanting to do something earth-shattering to prove herself and win that unattainable sliver of warmth.

But now, the sky has mercilessly torn away all pretense.

It turns out that from the moment she was born, her very existence was the source of her mother's deepest shame and pain!

That indifference wasn't neglect; it was a deep-seated hatred!
That disgust wasn't because she wasn't good enough, but because she carried the blood of the man who ruined her mother's life!
"Hahaha……"

Qian Renxue laughed softly, a laugh that was shrill and desperate, but tears welled up uncontrollably, washing away the disguise that belonged to Xue Qinghe on her face.

"So that's how it is... So all my efforts were a joke... I shouldn't have been born at all... I..."

All her beliefs and all her convictions collapsed completely at this moment.

Her reverence for her father, her longing for her mother, the significance of her mission... all vanished into nothingness and absurdity. She felt like a clown fooled by fate, living in a colossal lie.

Shrek Academy.

Yu Xiaogang was struck dumb, frozen in place as if he had turned into a stone statue.

Yu Xiaogang looked at Bibi Dong's desperate and numb eyes in the sky.

Hearing her self-loathing words, "bastard child," his heart felt as if it were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain almost suffocating him.

"Dong'er... Dong'er..."

Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Only now did he truly understand why Bibi Dong had left him so resolutely back then, uttering those seemingly heartless words.

It wasn't because she changed her mind, nor because of pressure from any sect, but because she suffered the cruelest trampling and humiliation in the world!

She didn't want to implicate him; she wanted to protect him, which is why she bore this hellish pain alone!
And what about him?
Where was he at that time?

He was blaming everyone and everything, he was giving up on himself, and he resented her "betrayal" in his heart!
He never even considered that she might be in purgatory!

"I'm such a loser! Utterly and completely useless!!"

Yu Xiaogang slammed his fist into the wall next to him, and his fist was instantly torn open and bleeding profusely.

But he felt no pain whatsoever, only boundless regret and heart-wrenching guilt.

He always thought of himself as a victim, the one who had been let down.

But now he realizes how terribly wrong he was!

What Bibi Dong endured was ten thousand times more suffering than he could have imagined!
But because of his pitiful pride, he sank into depravity for decades!
"Qian Xunji! Spirit Hall!!"

Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a beast-like growl, his hatred for the Spirit Hall reaching an unprecedented peak.

This hatred was also mixed with a deep resentment towards his own incompetence.

Sun and Moon Continent, Bright Empire, Imperial Palace Observatory.

Yu Jingcheng and Xu Jinlan embraced, both watching the suffocating tragedy unfolding in the sky.

Seeing the desperate scene of Bibi Dong being imprisoned and forced to bear children, even with their current status and state of mind, they couldn't help but feel a sense of oppression.

After a long silence, Yu Jingcheng sighed softly, his tone carrying a condescending scrutiny and a sense of bewilderment:

"While Bibi Dong's fate is certainly pitiful, Qian Xunji's actions are indeed worse than those of a beast."

But upon closer examination, her own "love-struck" nature was the key factor that led to this disaster.

Xu Jinlan nestled in his arms, nodded slightly upon hearing this, and a hint of agreement and a slightly... amused expression appeared on her beautiful face.

Although she was also a woman and could better understand the humiliation and pain that Bibi Dong suffered, from the perspective of a ruler and a strong person, she also found it difficult to agree with Bibi Dong's choices in the early stages.

"Your Majesty is right."

Xu Jinlan's cool voice rang out, carrying a rational to the point of being cold.

"The Spirit Hall has devoted all its efforts to cultivating her."

Twin martial souls, the position of Saintess, personal instruction from the Pope, unlimited resources...

This is an opportunity that countless Soul Masters dream of but cannot obtain.
She could have used all of this to secure her position as heir to the papacy, and in the future, take control of the Spirit Hall, wielding immense power across the continent.
