Bibi Dong raised her eyes.
Looking at the approaching Qian Renxue, who appeared quite furious, she couldn't help but furrow her brows.
Qian Renxue's face was filled with anger.
She stood firmly on the opposite side of the pavilion over the water, staring straight at Bibi Dong.
Her pink lips parted slightly.
Her voice was crisp and clear, yet carried an authority far beyond her age.
"Why did you let Jue use his martial soul?!"
Under Qian Renxue's question,Bibi Dong's expression wavered slightly, her eyes avoiding contact.
Her earlier disgraceful actions filled her with guilt.
Bibi Dong couldn't answer Qian Renxue's question.
She didn't dare. It was too hard to explain.
But Qian Renxue wasn't concerned about Bibi Dong's silence.
She never expected her cooperation.
Instead, she directly issued a warning:
"If you ever make Jue use his martial soul again, don't think I'll let him come see you!"
As her words fell, Qian Renxue's expression grew even more serious, her eyes narrowing slightly.
There was even a hint of threat in her voice. Her tone turned a bit deeper.
"I guarantee it!"
"Heh."
Hearing Qian Renxue's threatening words, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.
Even though she was worried about such a thing happening, she wouldn't lose her ground in front of a child.
She coldly replied,
"Do you think you can stop him?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes filled with a cold light.
Ever since Qian Renxue awakened her martial soul, the faintly eminating holy aura around her had caused the warmth in Bibi Dong's gaze to fade considerably.
Especially now, with Qian Renxue threatening her with Qian Renjue!
In Bibi Dong's heart, her impression of Qian Renxue had plummeted.
But Qian Renxue didn't care. To her, Qian Renjue's importance was far greater than Bibi Dong's slight favor!
She coldly retorted with a sneer:
"So, do you think he would choose his sister or his mother?"
"You!"
Bibi Dong's expression changed, teeth clenched.
She couldn't help but stand up, walking to the edge of the pavilion, glaring fiercely at Qian Renxue.
Even the killing intent in her body was beginning to stir.
It was spreading ever so slightly.
Qian Renxue met her gaze, refusing to back down.
She was no longer a child.
Perhaps, Bibi Dong's coldness and cruelty had once cast a shadow over her.
But that was long ago!
Now, she had been reborn as the successor of Angel God!
Sensing Bibi Dong's killing intent, Qian Renxue also released a faint killing aura.
It surged towards Bibi Dong, clashing!
Splash!
The water rippled!
The fish in the pond swam away in a panic.
The killing intent stirred a cool breeze, blowing over.
The lotus flowers in the water swayed back and forth, as if two opposing winds were in a standoff.
The hair of both mother and daughter fluttered behind them, their white dresses flapping wildly.
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with shock and disbelief!
For the first time, she truly started to look carefully at her not-so-pleasant daughter.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Qian Renxue's lips curled slightly, a smirk of both pride and a hint of unspoken grievance.
You care about me and my experience, so why don't you say it!
Bibi Dong clenched her teeth, her heart filled with anger, yet she was unable to argue.
She really wasn't confident that, in Qian Renjue's heart, she weighed more than Qian Renxue.
But looking at Qian Renxue's smug face, she felt annoyed!
Her killing intent increased slightly.
"Heh, I advise you to wake up!"
"Don't think that just because you're our 'mother,' you can act recklessly!"
Qian Renxue was unafraid.
Her soul power began to stir.
She had just awakened her martial soul. In a battle of pure killing intent, even if Bibi Dong just playing, she wasn't a match.
But Qian Renxue didn't care.
No one could hurt Jue, not even Bibi Dong!
"Shut up!"
Bibi Dong glared coldly at Qian Renxue, her breath uneven.
Seeing Bibi Dong's embarrassment and anger, Qian Renxue had no interest in arguing further.
"Glaring at me won't help. As a mother, you're not even qualified!"
With a cold parting remark, Qian Renxue turned and prepared to leave the courtyard.
"Stop right there!"
Bibi Dong shouted angrily, grabbing the pavilion's railing, staring at Qian Renxue.
The killing intent around her grew even more violent.
She hissed, "What right do you have to say that? On what grounds?!"
Her chaotic killing intent surged.
Qian Renxue's young body trembled slightly, turning back, her pale face showing signs of strain.
The disgust on Bibi Dong's face froze, her grip on the railing tightened.
Her killing intent swayed, gradually fading away.
Qian Renxue naturally sensed this.
Bibi Dong was still so familiar, still so stubborn!
The two locked eyes.
Bibi Dong waited for Qian Renxue's response!
Qian Renxue wasn't trying to blame Bibi Dong for not seeing her for years.
After all, she hadn't done much better herself.
At the same time, she understood what Bibi Dong had been through.
But that wasn't the point.
Her pale face stared at Bibi Dong, her lips parting.
"Because of what you just did!"
"…"
Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with panic.
"Jue must have told you, right? His martial soul has problems!"
"And you! You only hurt him."
"Once! And again, you hurt him!"
Qian Renxue didn't stop, continuing with words that pierced Bibi Dong's heart!
"…"
Bibi Dong's face turned pale, her body swaying slightly, her mind buzzing.
The pendant at her chest emitted a slight chill.
It stirred the darkness in her heart, rendering her powerless.
She thought of the scars on Qian Renjue's face and forehead, and his sobbing face.
Bibi Dong felt a stabbing pain in her heart, for those were facts!
And just now, watching Qian Renxue's unsteady back, Bibi Dong's purple eyes welled up with tears, falling down her cheeks, dripping onto the pendant.
"Jue…"
Bibi Dong's tearful voice was faint.
Filled with regret and shame.
"Never again… I swear! Never again. Please forgive me!"
As the night began to fall, no one heard Bibi Dong's voice.
…
After leaving the courtyard, Qian Renxue jogged away.
She had to hurry back to have dinner with Qian Renjue.
She couldn't let him wait.
Her pale face slowly regained its color.
She didn't know if this would make Bibi Dong more extreme, but she couldn't bear it anymore.
Bibi Dong's occasional harm towards Qian Renjue was went too far.
Sometimes, you can cry and regret.
But other times, there's no chance for regret.
She sped along.
When Qian Renxue returned home, she found not only Qian Renjue, but also Qian Xunji, who had brought birthday presents for his children.
At the table, Qian Renjue held a bamboo tube, smiling happily at Qian Renxue.
"Sister, where did you go?"
