"What did you say?"
Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, thinking she was hallucinating.
Qian Yuelong's gaze drifted to the black skeletons scattered around the throne behind Bibi Dong, and the soul bones that, though soaked in corrosive spider venom, still shone with an undeniable brilliance—the very bones that countless soul masters would covet. She closed her eyes briefly and said:
"Don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering. I can't comprehend your hatred, but I can understand it."
If it were her, she would hunt down anyone who dared to lay a hand on her to the ends of the earth, and even torturing them to death wouldn't be an exaggeration.
only......
Qian Yuelong withdrew her gaze and landed on Bibi Dong's right hand, which trembled slightly after hearing her words, her pupils contracting. Her soft, sweet voice rang out slowly but clearly: "Although you may not want to hear me call you Mother, I still want to say... Mother, when a person dies, it's like a lamp going out. You have personally taken Father's life, and the hatred and grudges between you are all settled. The soul you took... please banish it. This is also a way of letting go of your own burdens."
On the surface, Qian Xunji's flesh and blood appeared to be corroded by Bibi Dong's spider venom, but Qian Yuelong, who had attached spiritual power to her eyes and activated her spiritual vision, could see it clearly.
It was clear that Bibi Dong had absorbed Qian Xunji's flesh and blood, as well as his cultivation, and even his soul was taken away.
This is something that ordinary soul bones cannot achieve. Qian Yuelong guessed that it should be related to the soul-type soul skills that Bibi Dong possessed.
Although she didn't really want to get back her scumbag father, Qian Daoliu was still very good to her. Although her older sister Qian Renxue outwardly rejected Qian Xunji as her father, she still harbored some affection for him in her heart.
Qian Yuelong saw through it all perfectly.
Bibi Dong's icy expression changed upon hearing Qian Yuelong's words, as if she were getting to know Qian Yuelong anew. Looking into Qian Yuelong's ever-pure and clear eyes, the countless hatred and grievances she had suppressed in her heart seemed to have found an outlet, and a thin crack appeared in her heart.
"Resolved?"
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cold smile. "How can this be resolved? How can the death of Qian Xunji possibly compensate for everything I have lost?!"
Innocence, love, faith... all the things she once believed to be beautiful were annihilated by Qian Xunji and abandoned by her.
How could it be enough to just ruin Qian Xunji?!
With hatred welling up in her heart, Bibi Dong's gaze towards Qian Yuelong hardened with killing intent. She abandoned her hesitation and said coldly:
"I thought the rumors about your extraordinary abilities were just a deliberate fabrication, and that you were at most a child who was more precocious than the average child. But I didn't expect the rumors to be true; you are indeed very special."
Bibi Dong's expression grew even colder: "But now that you know and have seen it, I can't let you live. Don't think that just because you're my daughter, I won't kill you."
But what you're saying sounds more like you're still hesitant and can't bring yourself to do it, so you're just brainwashing yourself.
Qian Yuelong glanced at the spider stinger, which was still stuck there motionless, just a few millimeters away. She thought to herself, but said sincerely, "But if you really do this, won't it be even more difficult to end things? Although you can take back the spider venom from Father's remains, you can't change the color of the bones that have been tainted and stained black by the spider venom."
"There were no signs of battle inside the secret chamber. Among the Spirit Hall, the only one who could have the authority to move the Guardian Knights away and enter the secret chamber silently without being warned or refused by Father, and who also possesses a spider-like venomous spirit skill or other poison, after screening and screening, is you."
To be honest, this is a case so stupid that any sane person could tell who the murderer was at a glance!
What you said to your scumbag father before, that you were so well prepared, was actually a gamble on whether the other high-ranking members of the Spirit Hall would turn a blind eye, right?
That is to say, those in power are all corrupt. With the previous pope gone, they will naturally be eager to push for a new pope who is both capable and shrewd. As long as the Temple of Worship doesn't make a move, and most importantly, if Grandpa Qian Daoliu doesn't object, they will definitely push you, the ruthless person who personally killed the previous pope, into the position.
Also, she had wanted to add something before: a man who can easily betray a relationship, no matter what happened in between, a man who flirts with other women and starts a new relationship without losing his memory, is a scumbag!
She felt that the man named Yu Xiaogang was truly no good person.
But if she said it, she'd probably be dead soon.
Countless complaints lingered in Qian Yuelong's heart, but Bibi Dong, whose expression changed again after hearing Qian Yuelong's words, was indeed shaken.
Looking at the features that bore an eight-tenths resemblance to hers, Bibi Dong's trembling killing intent finally subsided like the tide. Maintaining a cold expression, she said in a deep voice, "Do you really have a way to remove the spider venom from the bones?"
Consider it... the final blood tie between her and her.
...if this child really will keep the secret.
Perhaps, as she told herself, out of consideration for the superficial mother-daughter relationship between them, or perhaps just to find a suitable excuse for letting her go, Bibi Dong put on a threatening face that said, "If you can't do it, I'll kill you." But the spider stinger that was close to Qian Yuelong slowly retracted behind Bibi Dong.
Qian Yuelong nodded her little head and, under Bibi Dong's scrutinizing and wary gaze, walked step by step toward the remains of her unlucky, scumbag father.
She stood before the scattered pile of bones, closed her eyes, raised her small hands, and clasped her hands together in front of her chest, like a devout believer praying for a divine response and gaze.
Her curled eyelashes trembled gently like tiny brushes, and beneath her slightly long bangs, the golden wing patterns suddenly shone with a pale golden light.
Qian Yuelong suddenly opened her eyes, her pale purple pupils overflowing with golden light, like dancing sprites, swirling in her eyes, growing brighter and brighter. A sudden gust of wind also blew her nearly shoulder-length silver-white hair. Even Bibi Dong, who was standing a little further away, felt this sudden gust of wind, and a look of surprise appeared on her face.
Qian Yuelong, who quietly activated the [Traces of Light] with its own special effects and casually released a bit of spiritual power to create a wind field, kept her merits hidden.
[Beep—Faith value +5, current faith value: -832]
[Beep—Faith value +9, current faith value: -823]
Um?
Two notification sounds for faith points rang out simultaneously. Qian Yuelong's devout expression paused almost imperceptibly, her ethereal eyes deepened for a moment, and then returned to normal. Amidst the materialized golden spiritual energy, she closed her eyes again, concealing the inquisitive look in them.
Oh dear, there's someone hiding here.
—A side note—
The faith points are correct. I even managed to scrape some more from other people during the transition period of learning to walk. I'll release them all together after I finish writing the next two chapters~
