"Xiaoxue?"
"Xue'er!"
After speaking, Qian Renxue did not respond to their astonishment, but turned around and ran away along the passage!
Mu Ci and Bibi Dong exchanged glances, clearly not expecting Qian Renxue to be eavesdropping.
This is not surprising, as the three are actually quite evenly matched in terms of their apparent strength.
After undergoing a transformation through the elixir, the six-winged angel Soul Douluo, possessing both divine and fire-based ultimate attributes, is in no way inferior to any peak Douluo in terms of strength.
Mu Ci's situation is similar even without the support of the domain.
As for Bibi Dong.
Although he was at the level of a peerless Douluo, under the suppression of the Rakshasa God Test, he was at most equivalent to around level ninety-seven.
Therefore, without fully activating their senses, it would be difficult for the two of them to detect that Qian Renxue was eavesdropping.
"Your Holiness, I must take my leave!" Mu Ci immediately stood up from his seat and gave Bibi Dong a slight bow.
Compared to Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue is more important!
Bibi Dong was also caught off guard by this scene, and she frowned and rubbed her temples.
"Go and keep a close eye on Xiaoxue! Don't let anything happen to her!"
She hadn't figured out how to face Qian Renxue, nor did she know what identity she should use to do so.
Is she the biological mother who never raised her daughter? Or her father's killer?
In short, let Mu Ci go and comfort her properly first.
After saying goodbye to Bibi Dong, Mu Ci ran after her along the passage and eventually found Qian Renxue crying behind a garden.
Hearing the footsteps and familiar scent behind her, Qian Renxue's delicate body trembled slightly, and then her sobs gradually subsided.
"Sister Xue?" Mu Ci walked gently behind Qian Renxue, putting her arms around her slender shoulders. "Don't hold back in front of me, okay?"
Qian Renxue turned around with red eyes to look at Mu Ci, whose face was full of gentleness. Her beautiful face was filled with complex emotions, including anger, resentment and grievance.
However, these were all directed at Bibi Dong, not at Mu Ci.
"Why would she say such things to you, but treat me the same way?" Qian Renxue was very puzzled. She had always been sarcastic and mocking towards her, wishing she were dead.
But behind her back, he had to pretend to care about her a lot.
Mu Ci did not answer immediately, but instead carried Qian Renxue to a garden bench.
Letting Qian Renxue lean comfortably in his arms, Mu Ci offered a brief explanation for Bibi Dong, "Actually, it's hard to explain the situation clearly."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue sat up and stared into Mu Ci's eyes, "What do you know? We are husband and wife, don't hide it from me!"
Mu Ci was both amused and exasperated. She stroked Qian Renxue's soft golden hair and said, "I didn't mean to hide it from you, but I didn't know how to tell you, and I was afraid you wouldn't be able to accept what's behind it."
"Can't accept it?" Qian Renxue looked puzzled, but her attitude remained firm. She wrapped her slender arms tightly around Mu Ci's neck and said urgently, "Tell me everything you know!"
Mu Ci nodded slightly, staring into those extremely stubborn beautiful eyes, "Since you want to know, then I will tell you."
"The story begins in His Holiness the Pope's youth..."
Chapter 195: A Reversal of Martial Soul? (Qian Daoliu)
As Mu Ci slowly recounted the buried past, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes gradually changed from initial curiosity to disbelief.
Even if Qian Renxue racked her brains, she couldn't imagine that her vicious mother, Bibi Dong, who was like an iron-blooded pope, could do such a thing during her teenage years.
Another protagonist in this story also surprised Qian Renxue.
Yu Xiaogang!
She knew this person; two years ago, because of Dugu Yan's incident, she had investigated everyone at Shrek Academy.
To be honest, among all the people in Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang's strength is the least remarkable, but his status is among the top few.
The son of Yu Yuanzhen, the sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, was also an abandoned son. He was a useless martial soul, Luo Sanpao, a level 29 Great Soul Master, and so on.
As for the so-called ten core competencies of a Soul Master, she had also read them, and while they were not without flaws, they were not far off.
He deserves to be described as ambitious but incompetent.
If it weren't for their prestigious status, she wouldn't have given such a second glance to anyone listed in intelligence reports.
It's hard to imagine that someone like that could attract Bibi Dong's favor.
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue immediately exclaimed in shock, "How is this possible? Bibi... is that woman blind?"
"With her talent and looks, she could choose any of the most outstanding men on the entire continent. There's no way she would choose Yu Xiaogang!"
"But that's just how it is."
Mu Ci couldn't understand what Bibi Dong was thinking back then; he only felt that the laws of Douluo Continent had taken effect.
Thinking of this, Mu Ci said with some helplessness, "Many people knew about this back then. My grandmother and cousin were also in Wuhun City at that time, and they knew the details of this matter very well, so it must be true."
After all, Wuhun City is only so big, so any news about it will spread quickly.
Qian Renxue leaned against Mu Ci's chest and nodded knowingly. She did not doubt the truth of the matter.
However, this story piqued her interest, and she was eager to know what would happen next.
"Aci, what's next?"
Qian Renxue asked the question, but Mu Ci remained silent.
Seeing Mu Ci like this, Qian Renxue suddenly felt a sense of unease, and a feeling of panic suddenly filled her heart.
"Aci, why aren't you saying anything?"
Mu Ci silently stroked Qian Renxue's pretty face, her tone somewhat heavy, "Xue'er, actually, I don't want to tell you what happened afterward, I'm afraid you can't bear it!"
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes trembled slightly, and she tightened her grip on Mu Ci's arm. Her red lips moved slightly, and she spoke in a somewhat hoarse voice.
“Aci, you said you wouldn’t hide anything from me! With you here, I’m not afraid of anything.”
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Mu Ci hugged her even tighter with even more tenderness.
"When Qian Xunji learned about Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's affair, he was furious and ordered the two to separate immediately."
"But you know His Holiness the Pope's temper; he would never obey such an order. So, in a fit of anger, Qian Xunji imprisoned Bibi Dong, who was then a saintess."
"After some time, Bibi Dong met with Yu Xiaogang, and the two officially parted ways. Then Qian Xunji used his power to kick Yu Xiaogang out of Wuhun City."
At this point, Mu Ci paused, looked at Qian Renxue who was holding her breath and looking terrified, and said the last sentence.
"You were born that winter!"
The answer to this matter struck Qian Renxue like a bolt from the blue, causing tears to flow uncontrollably and soak Mu Ci's chest.
Although the exact reason why Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang separated was not stated, the answer had already surfaced in Qian Renxue's mind.
As a woman, how could she not know what was going on?
"How is this possible? Daddy is a six-winged angel! How could he do such a thing?"
While Bibi Dong was certainly at fault, you wanted to be with a direct descendant of one of the three upper sects despite the Spirit Hall's full support in nurturing you.
How is Qian Xunji, the Pope, supposed to feel about this? How is he supposed to explain this to his father and the elders? Isn't this tantamount to cultivating an enemy with twin martial souls and unparalleled Douluo talent?
However, Qian Xunji's choice was also extremely wrong. The darkness of that night directly created a Soul-Devouring Spider King, the Chosen One of Rakshasa.
Despair and pain continued to spread through Qian Renxue's heart.
She finally understood why Bibi Dong had never liked her when they were children: because she represented Bibi Dong's dark past and was the embodiment of pain.
Just then, a red light suddenly appeared in Qian Renxue's lifeless golden eyes, and her golden hair, which was as if it were gilded, began to quietly turn silver from the roots.
A faint aura of darkness and evil emanated from Qian Renxue, but she was completely unaware of it.
"This is a reversal of the martial soul caused by extreme emotions!"
Upon seeing this, Mu Ci's eyes darkened.
Without hesitation, he activated the Abundance Domain. The azure-gold Abundance Power shone with divine light, penetrating directly into Qian Renxue's body with absolute purification power, and began to eliminate all negative fluctuations into nothingness.
Soothed by the power of abundance, Qian Renxue also fell into a deep sleep.
Just as Mu Ci breathed a sigh of relief, an old man with golden hair appeared silently in front of the two of them. If Mu Ci's domain hadn't been active, he might not have even noticed the man's appearance.
With a slight shift in Qian Renxue's posture, Mu Ci looked up and called out without hesitation.
"Great Master, what brings you here?"
"Xiaoxue's martial spirit almost underwent a mutation; the angel statue in the shrine issued a warning!" Qian Daoliu first glanced at Qian Renxue, who was now safe and sound. Then he looked at Mu Ci, "Was that power you just experienced the divine power you inherited?"
"Uh..." Mu Ci didn't know how to explain it either, "More or less!"
Upon hearing Mu Ci's admission, a look of relief appeared in Qian Daoliu's eyes. "No wonder you were able to reach such a level at such a young age. It turns out you inherited a divine position!"
"Now that you and Xiaoxue are together, I can rest assured."
After a sigh, Qian Daoliu finally got back to the main topic, "How is Xiaoxue now? What exactly caused the mutation of her martial soul?"
Mu Ci nodded slightly and began to recount what had happened.
Upon hearing this, Qian Daoliu closed his eyes and sighed, "Xiaoxue has finally found out about what happened back then!"
"Forget it, it's good that you know. You should take Xiaoxue back to her palace to rest. I'll talk to her when she wakes up."
After saying that, Qian Daoliu took a few steps toward the garden exit, then suddenly stopped.
"If we meet again, don't call him 'Great Venerable One'!"
Mu Ci understood, carefully picked up Qian Renxue, and said something.
"grandfather!"
