"The current Pope, Qian Xunji, will eventually die from his serious injuries. After the mourning period, the Spirit Hall will have to put forward a new Pope. As long as those guys in the Elder Hall aren't stupid, it's reasonable and logical for me, your favored genius disciple, to become the new Pope of the Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong watched as Qian Xunji's face grew increasingly pale, and the smile on her lips grew wider and wider.
"It's a pity that you won't be able to see me standing at the pinnacle of glory, teacher."
The incredibly ironic title came from Bibi Dong's mouth.
Having not heard Bibi Dong address him like that for a long time, Qian Xunji's breathing became short, realizing that this was the last time Bibi Dong would call him that.
He looked at the chilling killing intent flashing in Bibi Dong's eyes, his lips trembled as if he wanted to say something, but the hideous spider stinger that rose from behind Bibi Dong suddenly approached his face.
Wow.
The soft gasp, like a thunderclap from a clear sky, resounded simultaneously in the ears of Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji.
"who?!"
Bibi Dong turned her head in shock and anger, her murderous gaze freezing abruptly when it landed on the petite figure standing behind the secret chamber door. Disbelief filled her phoenix eyes, and she blurted out:
"How did you get here?!"
Moreover, it bypassed her mental perception!
A short, delicate girl dressed in a cherry-pink palace dress that reached her knees, wearing a white beret, stood by the wide-open mechanical door. It was a time and place where Qian Yuelong should absolutely not be present.
Whether it was due to the scattering of indoor light causing a visual illusion, Qian Xunji's gaze followed the first glance of Bibi Dong's astonished eyes, and he seemed to faintly see a fleeting glimmer of light.
Like moonlight reflected on the water, it shimmers with sparkling light.
But upon closer inspection, all that remained was that petite and adorable little bean.
The short, delicate Qian Yuelong met two pairs of shocked and incredulous eyes. Her fair and tender face showed no fear, but rather a stiff expression.
If she says she didn't do it on purpose, will they believe her?
People really shouldn't walk at night for too long, otherwise they might stumble upon a strange murder scene.
Originally, Qian Yuelong just wanted to find a good place to bask in the moonlight and absorb the power of the moon's essence, but she was inwardly suffering.
She swore she really didn't mean to come to this secret room. It was just strange that it seemed unusually quiet tonight, and there were no guards who were originally stationed at the entrance of the secret passage. She wanted to come and take a look, but she ended up stumbling upon the scene of Bibi Dong trying to kill Qian Xunji.
Fortunately, when she sneaked out of the room, she bought a C-grade "Moon Concealing Veil" on credit from the shop so as not to alert other powerful Soul Masters. Otherwise, she would have been discovered by Bibi Dong's powerful mental strength before she even entered the secret room.
[Outerwear: Set "Mermaid's Tears" Piece - Moonlit Veil (C-grade) - A veil woven from mermaid silk, imbued with the power of moonlight. (Passive: When worn, it perfectly conceals one's presence without making a sound. Has a chance to grant mermaid friendship.)]
Qian Yuelong glanced at the description of the jacket's individual pieces and regretted her decision.
I'm sorry, it was the first time I'd ever seen a mother kill her own father, and I couldn't help but scream out loud.
Otherwise, unless the other party has extremely strong mental power, she could easily pretend she never came and escape unscathed.
I just can't control my urge to gossip.
Seeing Bibi Dong's gaze begin to change, Qian Yuelong sighed inwardly, a hint of coldness creeping into her brows.
886, trembling deep within Qian Yuelong's soul, asked: "Host, are we going to get stuck here?"
It saw that Bibi Dong's eyes were starting to show murderous intent when she looked at her host!
Qian Yuelong met Bibi Dong's gaze without flinching.
It was the same scrutinizing gaze, but Bibi Dong's gaze didn't offend her.
Upon seeing his youngest daughter, Qian Xunji's dim eyes suddenly lit up, and the desire for life that burst forth in his eyes made him start to struggle again. Bibi Dong, whose attention had wandered, almost lost control of him.
"My dear daughter! Go quickly! Go find someone to save me!"
Qian Xunji's voice was extremely hoarse as he struggled and roared, but it was clearly heard by Qian Yuelong in the silent chamber.
Upon hearing Qian Xunji's cry for help, Bibi Dong's face turned cold. In Qian Xunji's suddenly narrowed pupils, the spider stinger that had been close to his face showed no mercy this time, piercing his face quickly and accurately. The face that Bibi Dong hated so much was instantly disfigured. The spider venom, mixed with strong corrosiveness, instantly eroded the flesh and blood of his face. In just a few seconds, a living flesh and blood body turned into a purplish-black skeleton right under Qian Yuelong's nose.
Facing this scene that could become a lifelong psychological trauma for the child: "..."
That's ruthless.
This is the first time that Qian Yuelong and 886 have perfectly synchronized their thoughts.
"Click-clack,"
The skeleton, stripped of its flesh and blood, lay scattered in pieces beside the black throne, broken apart by the pulled-out spider stingers.
The papal robe, symbolizing the highest honor of the Spirit Hall, emitted a chilling "sizzling" sound as it was corroded by the spider venom, eventually leaving only a pool of black, unidentified liquid.
Seeing Qian Yuelong frozen in place, seemingly terrified, Bibi Dong expressionlessly raised her spider leg soul bone, retracted it behind her back, and took long strides, walking step by step toward Qian Yuelong.
"clatter,"
"clatter,"
"clatter,"
The elegant rhythm of high heels tapping on the ground seemed to strike the heart of a single person, whose little heart couldn't withstand the stimulation and began to scream:
[Ahhh! Host, run!]
Qian Yuelong's eyebrows twitched slightly, and the next second, 886 was taken to the dark room.
[Ding—Hello System, your host, Qian Yuelong, has activated the blocking mode for you. Have a pleasant stay in the "black box."]
886 immediately let out a groundhog scream: 【Aaaaaah!】
"clatter,"
The sound of high heels clicking on the ground stopped abruptly.
A towering shadow slowly enveloped Qian Yuelong's small body. Grotesque purplish-black spider legs slowly extended from Bibi Dong's back, coated with deadly poison. The spider stingers, capable of easily piercing through steel and iron, bent slightly as they approached Qian Yuelong.
Qian Yuelong raised her head and met Bibi Dong's complex gaze, which seemed to contain both hatred and murderous intent, as well as hesitation, without avoiding it.
Clearly, the other party was hesitant, seemingly still harboring some tenderness in their heart, and was weighing whether or not to silence her, this unexpected intruder.
The current Bibi Dong has not yet transformed into the ruthless Pope Bibi Dong who kills without blinking an eye and shows no emotion whatsoever.
With a sigh of admiration, Qian Yuelong, under Bibi Dong's expressionless gaze, slowly extended her delicate white hand towards her. Her pale purple eyes, which had never shown fear or disgust, clearly reflected Bibi Dong's cold yet beautiful face, and her pink lips parted slightly.
"Do you need help removing the spider venom?"
The venomous spider stinger, which was close to Qian Yuelong, paused, stopping just millimeters away from her delicate, fair neck. If Bibi Dong had been a step later, that soft little neck would have been stained a terrifying purplish-black.
