Chapter 7: A Warning to the Titled Elders! Did Bibi Dong Destroy Herself?
"Young Pope! We are utterly loyal to you, even to the point of sacrificing our lives!!!"
Yue Guan was the first to shout out, "The new title suits Qian Fuchen very well."
He was very anxious because the first thing that fell was him!
Qian Fuchen smiled and said, "Elder Yueguan, there's no rush. Come in and have a chat, a heart-to-heart talk between ruler and subject."
The Moon Spider Queen sprayed out silver-blue silk threads, locking its limbs and pulling it into the barrier.
Perhaps it was intentional, but although the situation inside the barrier was not clear this time, Yue Guan's wails could be heard.
The commotion sounded as if the person was suffering unspeakable torment, making the elders below feel uneasy.
The pufferfish swallowed hard. "Elder Ghost... what should we do now?"
Ghostly took a deep breath: "We'll have the young pope come out later, and then we'll both express our feelings. I think the young pope captured Yue Guan because he's been too close to Bibi Dong; he's making an example of him!"
"Next, you and I will do this and that!"
The pufferfish looked thoughtful for a moment before clapping its hands and exclaiming, "Ghost, I never imagined you, who are usually so quiet and reserved, would have such a talent for flattery?"
"ah!!"
Yue Guan's roar interrupted the ghost's reply.
The sound continued to emanate from within the barrier.
"Young Pope, you mustn't! I was wrong, I've truly admired you since I was a child!"
"No, don't do that! You can't attack like that! My Chrysanthemum Martial Soul!"
"roll!"
Qian Fuchen scolded him and slapped Yue Guan out of the barrier.
The latter landed on the ground, got up, clasped his hands in a fist and knelt on one knee, about to speak.
The ghosts and their companions were the first to kneel on one knee: "May the Young Pope live ten thousand generations, and may he unify the continent!"
The porcupine chimed in, "The sun and moon's decree is a celestial omen for the unification of the Douluo Continent!"
The ghostly figure continued, "The Douluo Continent has accumulated its fortune over ten thousand years, giving rise to the divine might of the Young Pope!"
The pufferfish chimed in: "The young pope reigns supreme!"
The ghostly figure roared, "Sweep across the eight wastelands, all will become my subjects!"
boom!
The two, along with the elders behind them, knelt down on one knee simultaneously, their movements perfectly synchronized.
Bibi Dong covered her mouth and frowned, never expecting these two to be so obsequious; she had never seen them before.
Yue Guan scratched his head.
When did you guys learn to spout such rapid-fire phrases? At this moment, even the dignified Title Douluo couldn't care less about anything else and imitated him, saying:
"That young Pope is a jerk!"
Qian Fuchen chuckled softly, genuinely amused by these people.
He raised his hand: "Alright, let's continue the banquet."
"yes!"
Everyone joined in, and then the celebration continued.
Qian Fuchen turned his gaze to Bibi Dong, who staggered a few steps, a wary glint in her eyes.
"You... drove Qian Xunji away, are you going to target me next?"
A thoughtful look flashed in Qian Fuchen's eyes.
In the current timeline, Bibi Dong has not actually done anything heinous, and Qian Xunji has not even died at her hands.
He did not become the Pope, nor did he leak any information about the Spirit Hall, or use church resources to help anyone.
It can be said.
Bibi Dong is still a victim.
But that doesn't mean she won't get into trouble in the future.
It doesn't mean that the matter of her nearly killing him when he was young is over. This is a dilemma, and also an opportunity for Qian Fuchen to examine his own state of mind.
"Come with me into the main hall."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qian Fuchen flew into the main hall of the Spirit Hall, and Bibi Dong paused for a moment before following him.
Elders like Yue Guan watched the two enter, and only after a long while did they sigh.
"The Holy Maiden has exceptional talent, but her temperament is terrible. The matter concerning Yu Xiaogang... is truly troublesome."
"Old Ghost, what do you think the young Pope will do?"
The ghost took a sip of his drink: "Celestials have their own magnanimity; let's not interfere and do our own thing."
"You even let the young pope pull you into a 'private space'?"
Upon hearing this, Yue Guan gasped and chuckled, "Let's drink! Let's drink!"
-
Inside the Martial Spirit Hall.
Qian Fuchen stood in the main seat with his back to Bibi Dong, who was not in a hurry to speak.
The two were both the most familiar people and the most unfamiliar people.
"you..."
Bibi Dong spoke first, her voice clear and crisp, with a hint of probing.
Thinking of this, she secretly mocked herself. This child was only eight years old; others had just awakened their martial spirit.
Now... he is the Young Pope of the Spirit Hall, someone I need to look up to.
Qian Fuchen's life has just begun, and he is already climbing to the top of the Douluo Continent.
"Whether you keep me, drive me away, or even... kill me, it's all up to you."
Qian Fuchen turned his head and let out a long sigh: "Bibi Dong, you are heartless. When I was born, you wanted to kill me out of hatred."
"Now you've thrown this dilemma at me again."
Bibi Dong tilted her head and chuckled, revealing a sly smile: "Tch~ Blame it on you having a good father and me having a good master."
Qian Fuchen closed his eyes and pondered, then fell silent once more.
"Life is like the stars, never to meet again. You and Qian Xunji will never meet again in this life, and this is the best solution I can think of."
"As for your decision to stay or leave? I know you have someone you love, but that person is not a good one."
"I grant you permission to leave and pursue the freedom you desire, but for every gain there is a price to pay."
Bibi Dong's breathing quickened, and tension flashed in her eyes: "What price do I need to pay!"
Qian Fuchen turned away, unwilling to see her again:
"From this day forward, you will have no further connection with the Spirit Hall, with me, and with Xiaoxue'er."
"The grudges are now settled. If you stand on the opposite side of the Spirit Hall..."
"I will kill him."
He uttered each word slowly and deliberately.
Then the right to make the choice is given to Bibi Dong.
The latter dug her fingers into her palms, blood dripping down. She raised her head to look at her unborn child, her heart aching as blood trickled from the corner of her lips.
Is it love or family...? She never had the right to choose before; back then, all she could see was hatred.
Recalling Qian Fuchen's previous fighting prowess, she felt proud of him; it was an instinctive expression of deep paternal love.
"Thank you, I've made my choice... but I still can't let go."
"I will also advise him to stop being an enemy of the Spirit Hall..."
Two lines of clear tears streamed down her cheeks as Bibi Dong turned around and slowly walked towards the outside.
She walked extremely slowly; if Qian Fuchen spoke, she would stay...
Even after walking all the way to the entrance of the main hall, Qian Fuchen still did not turn around or say another word.
"Brother!~"
"Look what delicious food I brought you!"
Qian Renxue was carrying a large bag filled with steaming snacks, and her lively, bouncy manner made people feel affection for her.
Bibi turned her head to the east and happened to brush past Qian Renxue.
"When did you start looking somewhat like me...?"
Qian Renxue tilted her head, stopped, and took out a sesame seed cake from the bag in her arms.
"Saintess, would you like some?"
Bibi Dong chuckled softly, squatted down, and pinched Qian Renxue's chubby cheeks.
"Okay~"
"Oh, don't cry! It's just so delicious! Here, have a few more!"
Qian Renxue took out a few more pieces from her bosom and handed them over. Seeing her innocent and naive appearance, Bibi Dong wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
He turned his head to look at the high position.
"I want to make a bet with you!"
Qian Fuchen: "?"
What's going on? Why does everyone want to make a bet with me?!
"Um, tell me about it."
Bibi Dong stood up, her eyes brimming with confidence: "You say Xiao Gang is unreliable? I, however, believe he's trustworthy!"
Qian Fuchen chuckled lightly: "Alright, if you lose."
"Yu Xiaogang, you are at my disposal. Whether he lives or dies, is crippled or disabled, you have no right to interfere."
"I will also cripple my cultivation to atone for what you did in your childhood!"
