She wasn't worried about strength; she feared that when push came to shove, and Su Cheng had to make a choice, she would be the one abandoned.
A woman who could tolerate her lover being two-timing and still be willing to stay, only occasionally venting her dissatisfaction, did so for a simple reason: she couldn't let go of this relationship.
She wasn't the kind of woman who needed to rely on a man.
If she really wanted to seize power, with the banner of the Hell White Tiger Martial Spirit and her own formidable strength, once she returned to the Star Luo Empire, it wouldn't take long for her to attain a high position within the empire, drawing countless supporters.
In a few more years, when she reached the rank of Titled Douluo, the world would be hers to roam.
Even her cultivation techniques were all learned from Su Cheng, so there would be no loss even if she left.
Zhu Zhuqing had nothing to say as Bibi Dong's calm and serene voice continued in her ear.
"You should understand Su Cheng's character. The more you push him, the more resistance and backlash you'll face.
"But if you can position yourself as the victim, given his deep feelings for you, he will naturally soften."
At this point, Bibi Dong chuckled knowingly, "Otherwise, how do you think that Blue Silver Emperor got together with Su Cheng?"
After Zhu Zhuqing left, Bibi Dong was lost in thought for a while, then looked towards one side of the room.
Her gaze seemed to pierce through the thick walls, directed towards the higher location of the Douluo Hall.
At this moment, Qian Renxue was in seclusion there.
Regarding Zhu Zhuqing and Su Cheng's relationship, and even the peculiarity of Ah Yin, Qian Renxue might have noticed something, but she evidently didn't take it to heart.
When with Su Cheng, she would either issue verbal warnings or casually test him, never seriously acting.
She was too confident.
She and Su Cheng had known each other from humble beginnings, experienced life and death together, and had too many stories to tell.
Leaving aside everything in the dream realm, Su Cheng had no background, coming from a remote village, and Qian Renxue was the first person he truly confided in and trusted on his journey to the Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Later, they risked their lives in front of the Pope's Palace, fighting side by side...
You could say that throughout their journey, they had always witnessed each other's growth.
Moreover, in terms of background, talent, potential, and strength, who in the world could compare to her?
However, it was precisely because of her self-confidence, bordering on arrogance, that even though she was somewhat wary, she never truly recognized the hidden relationships between Su Cheng and the other women.
Pride can easily blind a person.
Until the day they stumble, it's hard for them to realize this.
"Xiaoxue, don't blame me. I don't care about other things, but on this matter, I can't yield..."
Half a day later, Su Cheng arrived at the Pope's Palace, followed his senses to Bibi Dong's room, knocked on the door, and entered after receiving permission.
Before this, he had first visited Chrysanthemum Douluo to hand over a bottle of blood used to maintain the vitality of flowers and plants, and then came here.
In the large living room, Bibi Dong leaned back casually in a high-backed chair behind the table, looking at him with a faint smile.
Her gaze made Su Cheng feel somewhat uneasy.
Suppressing the odd feeling, he looked at her and said, "Ah Yin has gone back to the Blue Silver Grass Forest."
"Yes, I know," Bibi Dong nodded.
Seeing her so calm, Su Cheng raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised, "You seem to have expected this?"
Bibi Dong didn't answer, using her waist muscles to stand up from the chair.
After stretching lightly, she walked to the edge of the spacious balcony and gazed into the distance, "Come over and take a look."
Su Cheng, puzzled, followed her and stood beside her.
Bibi Dong raised her arm and pointed to the valley, "Do you see that place?"
In the direction she pointed, the vegetation was lush, the stream clear, and the various flowers were in full bloom, competing with each other in beauty.
It was precisely where Chrysanthemum Douluo's flower garden was located.
Su Cheng suddenly realized and felt a bit embarrassed, "You saw everything?"
"Not just me. Today, I called Zhuqing over to inquire about some matters at the academy, but I also happened to witness some interesting scenes."
Bibi Dong's eyes flickered as she looked at the man beside her, "I saw you and that silver girl, getting along quite sweetly."
Su Cheng: "..."
"Just a few days ago, someone was complaining to me, saying they didn't know how to deal with Xiaoxue and Zhuqing. And now they've hooked up with another one. If I remember correctly, you swore before that you had no improper thoughts about that silver girl?"
Su Cheng sighed and didn't argue.
This situation had spiraled out of control and happened suddenly.
It was too complicated to explain to Bibi Dong in detail, so he let her tease him.
"Su Cheng, tell me honestly, are you lacking maternal love?"
"..."
Su Cheng, thinking about how to explain things to Zhu Zhuqing later, was taken aback by this question and couldn't help but laugh wryly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You better focus. If this continues, even if I want to help you, I will be powerless."
"What have you helped me with?" Su Cheng rolled his eyes, "If I hadn't come to you, she might not have seen anything."
"What a hurtful thing to say," Bibi Dong sighed softly, her eyes mournful.
"If she hadn't seen it, would you have continued to hide it? Moreover, I specifically instructed Zhuqing not to press you too hard and to give you more time. So, instead of blaming me, you should spend more time figuring out how to handle this."
Su Cheng was initially stunned, then sincerely said, "Thank you."
"There's no need for such words between us."
Bibi Dong looked ahead, casually waving her hand.
Su Cheng's eyes flickered, and he changed the subject to explain, "The situation between Ah Yin and me isn't what you think. We agreed—"
"Don't give me that. Just tell me if you have feelings for her."
"..."
Before he could finish, Bibi Dong interrupted him.
Faced with this question, he could only remain silent.
Bibi Dong snorted softly and earnestly said, "Zhuqing lacks a sense of security and isn't strong enough. You should take better care of her.
"I noticed that since returning to Spirit City, you haven't visited the academy much. Do you think that's appropriate?
"She doesn't care about your strength; she cares about you as a person. No matter what troubles you have, you shouldn't disregard her feelings."
Su Cheng met her gaze briefly before quickly looking away.
Bibi Dong was right.
Since returning from the mission, he had rarely spent time alone with Zhu Zhuqing and had not been particularly intimate with her.
Su Cheng's thoughts were simple.
Before fully resolving things with Qian Renxue, he felt the timing was wrong, and his situation with A Yin was an unexpected occurrence.
But after Bibi Dong's words, he realized his behavior was indeed problematic.
"You're right, it's my oversight. Thank you for the reminder, Your Holiness."
"I already said, there's no need for such words between us."
