Douluo Continent Villain Simulator: Persecuting Qian Renxue at the Start

Chapter 18 I Advise You to Be Kind

The two were less than half a meter apart at that moment.

In Bibi Dong's ears, Su Cheng's heavy breathing was clearly audible, and his scorching heat permeated the surrounding air.

He didn't smell bad; he even had a hint of herbal fragrance.

A blush flashed across Bibi Dong's face, and she subtly moved aside.

He sighed, "Su Cheng, why must you oppose me?"

After venting her anger, most of it had subsided.

Su Cheng turned his head slightly and looked at Bibi Dong standing to the side. "Your Holiness, since she is my successor, it is natural for me to plan her future direction."

"She's also from the Spirit Hall!"

"You can force her to do this task; it's none of my business, and it's your right," Su Cheng said calmly.

"You!" Bibi Dong felt her anger rising again.

Perhaps it was because of Qian Renxue's identity, or perhaps it was because of Su Cheng's special status.

She is easily angered these days.

"Do you think you can act recklessly just because you have Qian Renxue backing you?" Bibi Dong's voice was icy.

"I never rely on others."

"What a joke! Why didn't you dare say that when you first arrived at the Spirit Hall?"

"Your Holiness might as well find someone else to be Qian Renxue's teacher and see if that works. If she's willing, I'll have no objections."

"..." Bibi Dong was silent for a moment. "Su Cheng, I don't understand, what benefits did Qian Renxue give you?"

Su Cheng almost laughed when he heard this.

"Your Holiness, what benefits have you given me this time? From the moment I arrived at the Spirit Hall, everything you said was just empty promises."

Just look at the fates of Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to see that Bibi Dong is a typical person with no vision whatsoever.

Even Hu Liena and her two companions, who hadn't accomplished anything, were guaranteed three soul bones as a reward. What did Chrysanthemum Douluo and the others get in the end after doing so much dirty and tiring work?

On the main characters' side, no matter how stingy Tang San is, he still manages to leave others with a sip of soup after swallowing all the benefits, skin and bones.

But when it comes to Bibi Dong, she's incredibly stingy.

Su Cheng scoffed lightly. "Indeed, I only made two requests back then. So what? Do you think I should risk my life for you just because of that?"

Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback upon hearing this, and for a moment she didn't know how to refute it.

"However, I didn't expect anything else from you," Su Cheng continued. "I've already stated my two requests before. Now that the library is open to me, I'm satisfied with my successor, and I'm happy to join the Spirit Hall."

"If you join the Spirit Hall, you must consider the interests of the Spirit Hall."

"Forget about the Spirit Hall's interests. I'm an adult; I only care about my own interests." Su Cheng's tone was somewhat impatient. "Besides, sending a nine-year-old child to impersonate an imperial prince and plot to usurp the throne—is this the kind of vision your Spirit Hall has?"

Bibi Dong's eyebrows were tightly furrowed.

Su Cheng met her gaze without flinching.

"Your Holiness, I can see that Qian Renxue's feelings for you are complicated, but you only feel disgust towards her. Although I don't know the reason for this, I know that the person who offended you is definitely not Qian Renxue herself. I advise you to be kind."

The moment the words left his mouth, the atmosphere froze.

His purpose in saying these words was definitely not to reconcile the two of them.

In fact, saying such things would only add fuel to the fire in their relationship.

The conflict between the mother and daughter was not an ordinary one, but rather a knot in Bibi Dong's heart that had been there for more than ten years. It contained resentment towards Qian Xunji, regret towards Yu Xiaogang, and the habit of using Qian Renxue as an outlet for her emotions over the years.

Moreover, Su Cheng's words were clearly spoken from Qian Renxue's perspective, showing no regard for her feelings or the hidden circumstances.

Given her extremely self-centered and obsessive personality, she will only become more extreme.

"..."

Su Cheng sensed the killing intent.

Just after he finished speaking, a chilling, bone-chilling killing intent swept over him like a tidal wave.

He knew that Bibi Dong was truly determined to kill him this time.

Inside the offering hall.

Qian Renxue's face was filled with complex emotions. Gratitude, sadness, confusion, and grievances were all intertwined.

Qian Daoliu, however, looked solemn.

He knew the inside story, so he understood that Su Cheng saying such things now was absolutely courting death, and he was ready to take action at any time.

However, he was actually overthinking it.

Su Cheng understood the importance of knowing when to stop, so he only teased the topic slightly before immediately changing the subject, saying, "In short, I think this mission is unreasonable. There's no point in telling me anything. Let's talk about something else instead."

"What do you want to talk about?" Bibi Dong asked coldly.

"Your Holiness, there's no need for you to keep harping on Qian Renxue's matter. Wasn't that what you invited me to join your Spirit Hall for?"

As he spoke, he took out a manuscript compiled into a book from his soul tool and handed it over.

Bibi Dong frowned and accepted it.

He glanced at it casually for a few moments, then quickly flipped the page backward, his eyes slowly widening—

"Able to absorb a ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring as its fourth spirit ring?!"

"Yes."

She gave Su Cheng a complicated look.

I couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Why can't someone like that stand by my side..."

Su Cheng coughed lightly, interrupting her thoughts, "Your Holiness, I must remind you of something. This knowledge does not belong solely to the Spirit Hall; it must be publicly distributed throughout the entire continent."

"How can this be?!" Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows, unwilling to agree to the matter.

She is an ambitious person.

If everyone obtained this method to defy fate, where would the Spirit Hall's advantage come from?

"If you would like me to further develop methods for absorbing spirit rings across different timeframes, you'd better agree to my request."

"You care so much about your reputation?" Hearing Su Cheng's threat, Bibi Dong couldn't help but grit her teeth inwardly.

"For fame? Of course not," Su Cheng said calmly. "Only mediocre people are trapped by fame and fortune. My ambition is to be a good person and make more contributions to the world."

Bibi Dong looked disdainful upon hearing this, feeling that his words were too hypocritical.

Su Cheng glanced at her and smiled.

"How about this, when we publish this research result, we can change the name and not publish it based on the original book. And you don't have to put my name on it; it's fine to publish it under the name of the Spirit Hall. Consider it my contribution to the Spirit Hall."

He genuinely didn't care about fame. He initially published books to gain recognition as a stepping stone to attract the attention of the Spirit Hall.

However, he did intend to exclusively supply the Spirit Hall with the subsequent methods to enhance his own status.

But now he has changed his mind.

He found that the three-pronged approach he used on Qian Renxue was much more effective than he had imagined, which meant that he had gained a foothold in advance.

Then there's no need to maintain the previous plan. If the gap in strength between the new generation of Spirit Hall members and the younger generation of other forces becomes too large, wouldn't that be tantamount to aiding the enemy?

Moreover, Su Cheng needs more data to refine his theory, and the number of people in the Spirit Hall is clearly insufficient.
