But she was, after all, her biological mother, and she knew more or less about Xiaoxue'er's situation.

In fact, even if Bibi Dong didn't want to know, Qian Xunji would still tell her.

When Qian Renxue awakened her martial soul, she had a base of full innate soul power plus 10 levels of divinely bestowed soul power, thus her innate soul power was level 20.

Such qualifications are unique throughout the history of thousands of schools.

The child's awakening ceremony was successfully completed only after Qian Daoliu personally intervened.

"Could it be a god-level martial soul?"

The thought popped into Bibi Dong's mind, but she quickly dismissed it: "Impossible. How could a god-level martial soul appear in such a remote little place?"

Soon, Bibi Dong and the others arrived at the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall.

Here, Su Yuntao, Matthew, and Sisi were kneeling respectfully on the ground, bowing to Bibi Dong and saying, "Greetings, Your Holiness the Pope, Elder!"

"No gift."

Bibi Dong ignored the people and casually found a seat. She asked, "Where's the child you were talking about?"

"Your Holiness, Xiao Chen caught a cold the day before yesterday and his fever only broke last night. He is currently resting at the orphanage."

"Caught a cold and have a fever?!"

Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment. It had been a long time since she had heard the words "cold" or "wind-cold" from other people.

Soul Masters rarely get sick because they possess soul power within their bodies.

Unless the other party is injured and their soul power is unable to regulate the body's balance, diseases simply will not appear on a soul master.

"This child's health isn't good; he's so old and still gets sick..."

Bibi Dong began to doubt the strength of Luo Chen's martial soul. After all, with such a weak body, did he really possess a high-quality martial soul?

Why don't you look for a healing-type Soul Master?

Luo Chen's matter had already been reported to the Spirit Hall, where there were definitely healing-type spirit masters. Bibi Dong's expression darkened slightly: "They refuse to heal?"

Soul Masters are arrogant and look down on ordinary people.

But this is the Spirit Hall, and they are the Spirit Masters of the Spirit Hall.

The Spirit Hall has always treated civilians well, but in cases like Luo Chen's, it would be a simple matter of using a healing spirit skill, yet they refuse.

Bibi Dong was aware that the Spirit Hall under Qian Xunji's rule was rife with underhanded dealings.

She had planned to take swift and decisive action after taking office, even if it meant bloodshed and countless deaths.

Therefore, if such a thing were to happen here, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Branch Hall, Main Hall, Holy Hall, among so many healing-type Soul Masters in the Spirit Hall, is there not a single one willing to take action?"

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Bibi Dong had misunderstood, Matthew quickly explained, "It's not that the bishops didn't want to treat the child, but rather that they did try, but it didn't work."

"It's no use?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly; she didn't quite understand what 'useless' meant.

Just as she was about to give the order to have someone bring Luo Chen over, a ghostly figure suddenly appeared in front of Bibi Dong, then knelt on one knee and said, "Your Holiness, this is the child's identity information, including his age and his life in the orphanage over the years."

"But what's the child's background..."

"what happened?"

Bibi Dong flicked her finger and used her soul power to take the documents from the ghost's hand: "Is there a problem?"

Bibi Dong glanced at the information that the ghost had collected.

Most of the content is fine, but the child seems to be very weak, often getting fevers and colds, and is bedridden.

"what?"

Suddenly, Bibi Dong noticed the section about Luo Chen's origins, and her beautiful eyes narrowed slightly: "Six years ago, a woman sent him to an orphanage and left him nearly a thousand gold soul coins..."

Looking at the description of the woman's appearance in the document, Bibi Dong seemed to remember something.

"Your Holiness, the woman who sent this child to the orphanage seems to be..."

"it's me?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered, and she remembered: "He is that child! The child I rescued from the Fallen Ones six years ago!"

"He's actually still alive?"

However, Bibi Dong quickly showed an incredulous expression: "How is this possible?"

"Quickly, take me there now!"

At this moment, Bibi Dong finally understood the reason why Luo Chen was weak and sickly, and also understood why healing-type soul skills were no longer effective against him.

"Cough, cough, cough, cough."

Inside the orphanage, Luo Chen dressed and, with Wang Sheng's help, began his journey to the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

"Xiao Chen, are you alright?"

"How about I carry you across?"

Wang Sheng looked at Luo Chen with concern, but the latter waved his hand dismissively: "It's nothing. I know my body best. It will flare up every now and then. It's an old problem."

Luo Chen's illness is quite unusual. In addition to his usual physical weakness, he also experiences occasional sharp pains in his body and general weakness.

However, as long as you get through it, it won't flare up again for several days.

Luo Chen didn't know what was wrong with his illness, and he even asked the dean to find a healing-type soul master, but unfortunately, none of them could do anything about it.

"Ok?"

As Luo Chen stepped out of the house, he suddenly noticed someone ahead.

Looking up, one is greeted by an absolutely stunning woman. She has long, pinkish-purple hair, wears a crown, and holds a scepter. She exudes an aura of holiness, nobility, and elegance, making one instinctively want to worship her.

However, Luo Chen paid no attention to the familiar clothing and attire; his focus was entirely on the woman's face.

"you…"

Luo Chen blurted out instinctively, "It's you!"

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong looked at the boy in front of her and saw surprise and longing in his eyes: "You know me?"

"I…"

Luo Chen then realized that he had lost his composure.

But since things had come to this, Luo Chen didn't intend to lie. Instead, he told the truth: "I remember what you look like. Six years ago, you were the one who sent me to the orphanage."

"..."

Even Bibi Dong showed a surprised expression.

The ghost and Yue Guan following behind her exchanged a glance, wondering to themselves if there really were people in this world who could remember everything they saw.

Six years ago, Luo Chen was just an infant.

And this young child is able to remember what someone looks like after only meeting them once.

It has to be said, this is truly unbelievable.

However, before they could think further, Luo Chen's next words stunned everyone present.

"Are you my mother?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong felt her breath catch in her throat, and Qian Renxue's face subconsciously appeared in her mind.

'Mother…'

Bibi Dong was somewhat dazed. Just as she was about to explain, she heard Yue Guan and Gui Mei scold at the same time, "Child, don't be so presumptuous!"

Fortunately, the two knew their limits and did not add soul power to their voices.

Children speak without restraint; why would they take a child's casual remarks seriously, since they are not nobles from the two great empires of Tiandou and Xingluo?

Even Bibi Dong wouldn't take it to heart.

"It doesn't matter."

Bibi Dong raised her hand to stop the two of them, then said gently, "Child, I am not your mother."

"Oh…"

Luo Chen wasn't particularly disappointed, and that was true.

He had long known that Bibi Dong could not be his mother. He had previously made some guesses because he did not know the identity of the woman who sent him to the orphanage.

But after learning that the woman in his memories was Bibi Dong, Luo Chen no longer had such thoughts.

Luo Chen didn't think too much about why he asked such a question; he just felt that he should ask it this way, as it would better fit the character of a child abandoned by his parents in an orphanage.

Luo Chenyuan was not as naive as Wang Sheng and the others seemed. Otherwise, he wouldn't have used Sisi as an opportunity to curry favor with Su Yuntao, a great soul master, and thereby gain the qualification to borrow books from the Martial Soul Branch Hall.

After learning that this was the Douluo Continent, Luo Chen decided to change his naive ideas from his previous life.

In order to survive, to become stronger, and to have the power to control his own destiny, Luo Chen cannot let go of any resources he can use.

Now, with Bibi Dong, the final boss of Douluo Continent 1, right in front of him, how could he not cling to such a supermodel's coattails?

"Big sister, do you know where my parents are?"

The next moment, a light truly shone in Luo Chen's eyes.

This time, however, Luo Chen did not pretend.

Having lived two lives, in his previous life he grew up in an orphanage, without parents or family, and never experienced the warmth of kinship.

That's what he really wanted to know after asking the first question.

Chapter 4: Time flies

"Ugh…"

Looking at the expectation in Luo Chen's eyes, Bibi Dong's gaze gradually dimmed, and then she shook her head regretfully, saying, "I'm sorry, child, your parents are no longer alive."

Perhaps out of guilt, Bibi Dong told Luo Chen about his background.
