Douluo: Bibi Dong Abandons, Snow Empress Raises to Adulthood

"Another child?"

Bibi Dong furrowed her elegant brows, slowly setting down the documents in her hands before smoothing them out with her palm.

She didn't know why Qian Daoliu suddenly asked this question, but no matter how he had come to suspect it, now was not the time for him to find out about that baby.

It wasn't the right time to confront Qian Daoliu yet.

Bibi Dong had carefully assessed her strength and concluded that, for now, she was still lacking...

So, what should she do now?

Where had this old man's suspicion come from?

Bibi Dong composed herself and looked at Qian Daoliu calmly.

Qian Daoliu glanced at the documents beneath Bibi Dong's hand. "I just want to know the exact circumstances when you gave birth alone back then."

"Besides Qian Renxue, there was no one else." Bibi Dong sneered coldly. "Didn't your bastard son come in and see for himself?"

Qian Daoliu was momentarily speechless.

Indeed, Qian Renxue had been personally carried out by his son, Qian Xunji.

At that time, Qian Xunji had already said that Bibi Dong had wanted to kill Qian Renxue with her own hands.

He had called Bibi Dong a lunatic.

But...

If there had really been only Qian Renxue, then it would have been almost impossible for the Qian bloodline to have leaked out.

Could it be that Xunji had a moment of indiscretion outside?

If that were the case, then there would be no way to investigate it now.

Unless that child appeared in Spirit Hall on their own, they would never be found.

"So, back then, you really only gave birth to Xue'er?" Qian Daoliu lowered his head in thought before asking again.

He found it hard to believe.

He knew exactly what kind of person Qian Xunji was.

But as for other women besides Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji shouldn't have had any.

Hearing Qian Daoliu's continued disbelief, Bibi Dong's expression turned cold, her gaze sharp. "What? You want to rip open my scars?"

Her words carried a sharp edge, her attitude exuding an unyielding hostility that made Qian Daoliu frown deeply.

He was starting to get irritated.

"Are you afraid to say it? Besides Qian Renxue, did you or did you not give birth to Xunji's child?" Qian Daoliu's face darkened as he stared intently into Bibi Dong's eyes, as if trying to see through any deception.

However, Bibi Dong showed no fear. Aside from anger, her gaze contained nothing else.

"You have no right to question me!"

Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh. "Or are you trying to expose everything and let Qian Renxue know that her father was a rapist?"

"You!!!"

Hearing such an unyielding retort, Qian Daoliu was instantly enraged.

For so many years, just because of the word 'rapist,' he had retreated to the Sacred Hall and handed control of Spirit Hall entirely to Bibi Dong.

Unless it concerned the survival of Spirit Hall, he had chosen not to interfere.

Qian Daoliu was a man of principles.

He knew that the methods his son, Qian Xunji, had used to keep Bibi Dong were too despicable. So for all these years, even though his son had died and Qian Renxue had suffered under Bibi Dong's hand, he had no grounds to speak out.

He did not harbor much personal hatred toward Bibi Dong.

Because, more than personal grudges, Qian Daoliu cared about the future of Spirit Hall.

He could see that Bibi Dong was highly talented, with the potential to reach another level of power.

Under her leadership, Spirit Hall could possibly go further.

That was why Qian Daoliu had been willing to support her, even helping her become the Pope of Spirit Hall.

But now, with the matter of the Angel God's successor involved, after years of fruitless investigation, he could no longer ignore the things he had previously chosen to overlook.

Even though he had prepared himself mentally, hearing Bibi Dong's words still made his anger surge uncontrollably.

In his fury, Qian Daoliu instinctively raised his hand.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes fixed on his movement. Although she knew it was just a reflex and that he hadn't released even the slightest soul power, years of pent-up resentment exploded in that instant.

"What? You want to hit me?"

Bibi Dong's eyes turned bloodshot as she glared at Qian Daoliu's raised hand. "What, just because you're stronger, you think you can hit me?"

"Like Qian Xunji did?"

Qian Daoliu's raised hand froze.

Bibi Dong's words brought him back to his senses.

But now, his hand was left hanging awkwardly in midair.

However, Bibi Dong had no intention of stopping there. Once her emotions erupted, they were difficult to contain.

"You're so powerful, so capable, then go ahead, kill me!"

Bibi Dong stood up, her long legs trembling slightly. Her bloodshot eyes locked onto Qian Daoliu. "Go on, let Qian Renxue be left with only you as her family!"

At this, Qian Daoliu could no longer remain unmoved.

He let out a long sigh and lowered his hand.

"What happened back then… It's true that Xunji wronged you." Qian Daoliu's expression softened. "But after all these years, hasn't Spirit Hall nurtured you…?"

"Shouldn't that be enough to make up for Xunji's past mistakes?"

"Hah, how lightly you say it."

Bibi Dong's eyes remained bloodshot, filled with hatred. "You all owe me! You owe me!"

"You destroyed my happiness, used filthy methods to shackle my soul and body, and now you think a simple 'Spirit Hall nurtured you' can erase all your sins?"

"What a joke! Hahaha!"

Bibi Dong ran a hand through her hair, revealing a stunning yet crazed expression. She laughed hysterically before staring at Qian Daoliu and enunciating each word clearly.

"You people of the Qian family… you're all the same!"

"Sigh…"

Qian Daoliu knew that whenever Qian Xunji was mentioned, Bibi Dong would always fall into a state of madness, making it impossible to communicate.

"Xunji truly cared for Xue'er. He couldn't bear for Qian Renxue to lose her mother."

"Xue'er has suffered enough. Throughout her childhood, Xunji did everything he could for her."

Qian Daoliu's tone softened. He wanted to use Qian Renxue to awaken Bibi Dong's maternal instincts.

"But Bibi Dong, don't you think you've been too extreme toward Qian Renxue?"

"Xue'er is your own flesh and blood. Treating her this way… do you really deserve to be called a mother?"

Bibi Dong understood his words, but her face remained indifferent. "So what? Flowing in her veins… is the blood of that bastard."

With that, Bibi Dong sat down and gathered her documents. "Leave. I need to rest."

Qian Daoliu still hadn't gotten the answer he wanted and was unwilling to leave.

Seeing his stubbornness, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a sinister smile.

"Or perhaps, you old man, just like your bastard son, want to force yourself on me?"

"How wonderful…"

Bibi Dong leaned back in her chair, crossing her arms over her chest. "The Qian family truly is a clan with a millennium-long legacy."

"In every generation, the only tradition you uphold is rape, Isn't it?"
