Qian Renxue lifted her head in a daze, locking eyes with Bibi Dong.
Her face was also slightly flushed.
Under each other's gaze, there was an awkward tension, with both of them avoiding direct eye contact.
The unpleasant confrontation from the day before was still fresh in her mind.
"Th-thank you, mom."
Qian Renxue lowered her eyes slightly, her voice rough and low.
"Mm."
Bibi Dong looked at the lotus flowers in the water and responded softly.
"Haha."
Qian Renjue, standing nearby, couldn't contain his excitement.
He grabbed Qian Renxue's small hand and said excitedly, "Sister, we should get going."
He then turned and said goodbye to Bibi Dong again.
"Goodbye, mom!"
Bibi Dong gently nodded.
Receiving her response, Qian Renjue grabbed Qian Renxue and quickly ran outside.
Qian Renxue covered her face as she glanced back at Bibi Dong.
In her ears was the laughter of Qian Renjue, and she felt light on her feet as she walked.
Bibi Dong stood under the pavilion for a long time.
She watched the siblings leave, until they disappeared from sight, and until the echoes of their laughter faded.
The surroundings seemed to return to peace in an instant.
The sudden change made Bibi Dong's expression appear dazed, as the warmth from earlier felt dreamlike.
For someone who hadn't genuinely smiled in so long, the feeling didn't seem real.
As she turned back, the gentle expression on her face vanished with the wind.
Looking at the book titled "Ten Theories" on the table, her purple eyes flickered with uncertainty.
How could she not know about Yu Xiaogang's theory?!
Qian Renjue's words echoed repeatedly in her ears.
A cold light flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and she swiftly grabbed the worn book.
Gazing at it, her purple eyes filled with endless pain.
If it's all a lie…
Then what have I become?!
What do all the things that happened to me mean?!
The memories flooded back, and uncontrollable hatred flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She gritted her teeth, her expression cold and fierce.
"Even if I die, they will too!"
Bibi Dong's killing intent exploded, blood-red light filled the air, and the Slaughter God Domain erupted.
Cold aura spread across the water's surface under the pavilion.
Buzz~
A slight coolness from the pendant around her neck was like a breeze and light rain.
It transformed into a curtain of rain in the wind, washing away and repelling the malicious and evil thoughts.
The almost frozen water slowly melted.
The killing intent gradually dissipated.
"Hah."
Bibi Dong let out a cold laugh, her head lowered, with tears in her eyes.
It seemed like a bitter laugh, a self-mocking one.
Whether true or not, the pain she experienced was real!
Damn it.
She wouldn't let any of them go!
As for everything else…
She didn't need any of it anymore!
With bloodshot eyes, Bibi Dong's tears slid down her face as she turned with all her strength.
Swish!
In an instant, she threw the book from her hand outside the pavilion, over the water and into the air.
It opened, as if displaying the signature.
Her powerful soul force made the air oppressive.
Bang—!
With a muffled sound, the book suddenly exploded!
The "Ten Theories" turned into countless fragments.
Without looking back, Bibi Dong carefully picked up the golden jelly on the table and walked inside.
The fragments floated in the air, drifting along, neither carried by the wind nor welcomed by the water.
They floated on the surface, eventually reaching the ditch, sinking into the mud, mixing into it.
…
On the way back to their residence.
Qian Renxue finally came back to her senses.
She looked at Qian Renjue, who was leading her forward, his body seemingly glowing with holy light.
"Jue."
Qian Renxue called softly.
"Sister, what's wrong?"
Qian Renjue stopped and looked back at her cheerfully.
Qian Renxue gently squeezed his small hand and pulled him closer to her.
Smiling, she said, "Come closer. Stay near your sister."
Qian Renjue held his head with one hand, looking puzzled, "Sister, are you going to hit me?"
"Pfft, of course not."
Qian Renxue giggled and pointed to her other cheek.
"You haven't given your gift to sister yet."
"..."
Qian Renjue was surprised for a moment, then his face lit up with a wide grin.
He immediately stepped forward and hugged Qian Renxue, whispering joyfully in her ear.
"Haha. Sister, Jue will give it to you now, muah!"
Before his words even finished, Qian Renxue's cheek felt a slightly moist touch that lingered briefly.
"Hehe."
Qian Renjue pulled back, grinning brightly.
Qian Renxue looked at her silly younger brother, her face adorned with slight smile.
Was this the feeling Jue had yesterday?
This gift was indeed wonderful.
Even though it came late, it felt better than if it didn't come at all.
"Thank you, Jue."
Qian Renxue held Qian Renjue's small hand again, her voice incredibly soft.
"Let's go. We should head back."
"Mm!"
Qian Renjue nodded firmly.
He looked up at the scorching sun, the trees along the road lush and green.
Everything seemed so beautiful, filled with warmth and a sense of freedom.
With his sister by his side, he didn't even need to watch the road.
Qian Renxue held tightly to the warmth from his hand and behind her.
Her small, delicate face was filled with a smile.
Because of Jue's presence, she was slowly retrieving, piece by piece, everything she could have but never had in the past.
Like sweet honey, she stored them in the honey jar of her heart.
This was her redemption, and hers and his too.
…
The next day.
In the morning, the sun shone brightly.
The courtyard, filled with blooming flowers, was somewhat quiet.
Bibi Dong held a watering can, her thoughts distracted, unable to help but worry about whether Qian Renxue and the others were successfully absorbing their spirit rings.
…
At the same time.
In the exclusive Soul Hunting Forest of the Spirit Hall.
There were the howls and cries of spirit beasts and flashes of holy light.
To display his power in front of his children, Qian Xunji personally acted to hunt spirit rings for them.
Compared to other Soul Hunting Forests, the one near Spirit City was undoubtedly of higher quality.
It was not lacking in thousand-year-old spirit beasts.
And compared to the distant Star Dou Forest, hunting in their own territory was undoubtedly more convenient and efficient.
At this moment.
Qian Xunji's performance had long ended.
In the clearing of the Soul Hunting Forest.
Qian Renxue and Qian Renjue were seated separately, meditating.
Beside a tiger-type spirit beast with a light attribute.
Behind Qian Renxue, holy light shone, and golden flames burned brightly.
The six-winged golden angel's face was blurry but did not lose its solemn and majestic aura.
Above and below her, two purple spirit rings hovered.
On the other side.
Qian Renjue's situation was almost identical.
The three-thousand-two-hundred-year-old Nether Black Gold Snake emitted a stench.
Behind Qian Renjue, a silver-haired, red-eyed six-winged shadow exuded chilling cold air.
Above his head, the purple spirit ring slowly descended, merging with the purple ring beneath him.
It settled beside his two-thousand-five-hundred-year-old spirit ring.
Qian Renjue's aura steadily rose from level twenty-one.
Nearby.
Ghost Douluo's voice was filled with joy as he reported to Qian Xunji in the center:
"Your Majesty, Young Master Jue has succeeded!"
"Miss Xue has succeeded too!"
A sharp voice chimed in, and Chrysanthemum Douluo also smiled.
Qian Renxue opened her eyes early.
Qian Renjue followed closely, excitedly sharing his joy.
"Dad, Jue is already at level twenty-six!"
"Haha, well done! As expected of my son, truly gifted!"
Qian Xunji laughed heartily, lifting Qian Renjue into his arms.
"Dad, I'm at level twenty-six too."
Qian Renxue stood up, giving Qian Xunji a playful look.
She still couldn't forget him activating his Spirit Avatar to chase down two thousand-year-old spirit beasts.
