Douluo Continent: Qian Renxue's Simulated Life After Becoming a Demigod

But at this moment, besides shame and indignation, Qian Renxue felt a strange sense of relief.

fortunately.

Fortunately, Lu Ming is a greedy and lustful vulgar man.

As long as there is a weakness, it can be controlled and used by her.

"Jixia Academy... Lu Ming... a supreme being..."

Qian Renxue murmured these words to herself, her eyes gradually becoming firm and cold.

To change that tragic fate, to prevent her mother and grandfather from dying a miserable death, she was willing to sacrifice her virtue and even go bankrupt!

The carriage traveled south, passing through numerous checkpoints, and finally stopped at a secluded stronghold.

Qian Renxue changed back into her original women's clothing, put on a veil, and returned to the city she both loved and hated—Wuhun City.

Pope's Palace.

The towering hall appeared solemn and majestic, with a huge angel statue overlooking all living beings.

Deep within the great hall, on the papal throne that symbolized supreme power, sat an exquisitely beautiful figure.

Bibi Dong.

Holding a scepter, she wore an incomparably luxurious long golden dress. Time seemed to have left no trace on her face; instead, it exuded a breathtaking nobility and majesty.

Just sitting there, the air around me seemed to freeze, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

"What are you doing back here?"

Upon seeing Qian Renxue enter the main hall, Bibi Dong didn't even raise her eyes, her voice as cold as ice that had never melted.

"Instead of staying hidden in the Heaven Dou Empire, you've come back and exposed your identity. All your years of planning will be ruined. Can you bear that responsibility?"

Faced with her mother's cold, even somewhat disgusted, questioning, Qian Renxue paused slightly.

If it were in the past, she would have felt heartbroken and would have retorted with an even colder attitude.

The mother and daughter were like two hedgehogs, longing to get close but always ending up hurting each other.

But this time, Qian Renxue did not.

She stood in the center of the hall, quietly watching the woman on the high platform.

In the "Life Simulator" scene, she saw this woman block the fatal blow from the Sea God Tang San to save her.

She saw the deep love and regret hidden in the eyes of her mother, who had always treated her coldly, at the last moment of her life.

"Xue'er...I'm sorry..."

Those dying words were like a heavy hammer, shattering all the resentment and estrangement in Qian Renxue's heart.

So, it turns out she always loved me.

It turns out we were all wrong.

At this moment, looking at her still-living mother, Qian Renxue's eyes instantly reddened.

She took a deep breath and walked up the steps one by one.

Bibi Dong finally realized that something was wrong.

She frowned, looking at the unusually calm Qian Renxue, and her fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the scepter.

"Qian Renxue, I'm asking you a question!"

Qian Renxue did not answer. She walked up to Bibi Dong and, under Bibi Dong's astonished gaze, slowly squatted down.

Then, she reached out and gently wrapped her arms around Bibi Dong's waist, burying her head in her mother's knees.

"Mother."

This call was trembling, choked with sobs, and filled with a sense of vicissitude and longing.

Bibi Dong's body instantly stiffened like iron.

She stared wide-eyed at her daughter, who was resting on her lap, incredulous.

How...how is this possible?

Since Qian Xunji's death, there has only been hatred and indifference between the mother and daughter.

When had Qian Renxue ever called her that? When had she ever been so close to her?

"you……"

Bibi Dong instinctively wanted to push her away, to rebuke her weakness, and to use vicious words to cover up her inner panic.

But when her hand touched Qian Renxue's trembling shoulder, she couldn't push her away.

"No matter what happened in the past."

Qian Renxue's voice came out in a muffled tone, yet it was unwavering.

"No matter how you see me, and no matter what grudges there were in the previous generation."

"You are always my mother."

"You and Grandpa are the only two relatives I have left."

Having experienced the life-and-death separations in The Sims, Qian Renxue finally understood that power and godhood are so pale in the face of family affection.

She just wants to cherish the present moment.

I just want to hold onto this hard-won warmth before all the tragedies happen.

Bibi Dong's hand hovered in mid-air, trembling slightly.

Looking at Qian Renxue's slightly trembling shoulders and her dazzling golden hair, her long-dormant heartstrings seemed to be plucked hard.

That's her daughter.

It was her flesh that fell off her body after ten months of pregnancy.

Even if it was that beast's offspring, even if it was proof of her lifelong shame.

But the child is innocent.

For so many years, in order to seek revenge and for that crazy plan, I have used this child as a tool, as a pawn in my revenge, and have never given her even a sliver of maternal love.

perhaps……

Was I really wrong?

The icy coldness in Bibi Dong's eyes showed signs of melting, and her usually taut and hard features softened unconsciously at this moment.

But she was still Bibi Dong.

He was that ruthless and extremely cunning pope.

This heartwarming moment lasted only a few seconds.

Bibi Dong closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and when she opened them again, all the emotions in her eyes had been suppressed.

"stand up."

Her voice remained indifferent, but upon closer listening, a barely perceptible tremor could be detected.

"As the young master of the Spirit Hall, what kind of behavior is this, crying and wailing?"

Qian Renxue wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and stood up.

She knew that Rome wasn't built in a day, and her mother wouldn't accept her all at once.

But at least, this is a good start.

Qian Renxue composed herself and resumed her shrewd and capable demeanor as the young master.

"Besides wanting to see you, there's something else I wanted to do when I came back this time."

She looked directly into Bibi Dong's eyes and said in a deep voice, "I need seven million gold soul coins."

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow.

Seven million?

This is no small amount.

"What do you need so much money for?"

"For a plan."

Qian Renxue did not reveal the whole truth about the "Life Simulator" and Lu Ming; those things were too unbelievable and too troublesome to explain.

"I discovered a force called Jixia Academy in Tiandou City, whose strength is unfathomable. I intend to win them over as an ally for our future uprising."

"This seven million is for cultivating relationships and forging alliances."

Bibi Dong gave Qian Renxue a deep look.

She could sense that Qian Renxue had changed this time.

They have become more mature, more composed, and even more enigmatic.

"Jixia Academy..."

Bibi Dong silently repeated the name in her heart.

"it is good."

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong didn't ask any questions. She simply took out a golden card from her storage soul tool and tossed it to Qian Renxue.
