Chapter 136: Qian Renxue: A Bit Disappointed, Boring
Bang!
Yu Xiaogang was thrown from the carriage like refuse. Fifteen Ton Douluo looked at Bibi Dong lazily and said, "The person has been brought here. If you have anything to say, please say it now!"
"Xiaogang!"
Bibi Dong's heart shattered seeing Yu Xiaogang discarded so carelessly. She rushed to his side, turning him over. Her heart ached at the sight of his battered face.
"Xiaogang…"
"Bibi Dong?"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes flickered with complex emotions upon seeing her familiar face. It really was her…
"Falling Devil, let's go! Don't disturb them," Fifteen Ton Douluo's voice interrupted their moment, sounding out of place.
Falling Devil Douluo glanced at them indifferently. "Bibi Dong, be aware of your identity!"
"No need to remind me!" Bibi Dong shot a hateful glance at Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo.
These two humiliated Xiaogang so much. Just wait! Once she ascends to godhood, they'll pay the price!
After the two Douluo retreated, Yu Xiaogang suddenly snapped, "Bibi Dong, why are you doing this to me?!"
"What?" Bibi Dong was taken aback. She hadn't even spoken yet, and Xiaogang was already so agitated…
Yu Xiaogang glared at her with resentment. Her initial reaction told him she still had feelings for him, contrary to his assumptions. No need to hold back then!
He'd been pent up for half a month, enduring torture, his martial spirit destroyed, his body broken. The mockery in Heaven Dou City and Fifteen Ton Douluo's humiliation in the carriage fueled his rage. He was about to explode!
He couldn't vent freely, not if he wanted to revive the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family. He needed an outlet, and Bibi Dong, with her lingering affection, seemed safe enough to unleash upon.
"They locked me in a dungeon, tortured me for half a month! They severed my limbs and destroyed my martial spirit!" Yu Xiaogang's eyes blazed with fury.
Bibi Dong flinched at his anger but quickly explained, "You must know it wasn't me who captured you! It was someone else! I only learned of it afterward!"
Good. She explained herself. Perfect—she'd be his punching bag.
Would she get angry after he vented? He didn't care. He couldn't hold it in any longer!
"You learned afterward?" Yu Xiaogang's voice dripped with venom. "Then tell me, why did you kill my father? Why did you destroy my family?!"
"Xiaogang…" Bibi Dong's heart clenched. They'd told him, as she feared.
But considering his past, she held hope. Maybe he shared her view? "It was the condition for your release," she explained. "They said the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family had to be destroyed to free you. Besides…"
Yu Xiaogang's pupils shrank. Because of him? His family was wiped out because of him?
Impossible! He was meant to revive the family, to carry the legacy of a Titled Douluo's son! How could he be the cause of their annihilation? A sinner of his own clan?
Ridiculous! Bibi Dong's words had to be lies!
"Besides, Xiaogang, you were expelled and humiliated by them!" Bibi Dong's voice grew fervent. "I avenged you! All those who shamed you are dead! Aren't you happy? That old man Yu Yuanzhen, a Titled Douluo, failed to protect his son, let you be cast out. Shouldn't he have died? Am I right?"
Her eyes gleamed with anticipation and a hint of madness. Though Qian Renxue and her group orchestrated the clan's destruction, Bibi Dong had long wanted it gone. She hated the Spirit Hall most, but the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family was a close second for humiliating Xiaogang. They deserved obliteration!
Would Xiaogang agree? He must! He'd complained about his family back then, so he surely shared her resentment. His revenge was complete—he should be thrilled!
Madman! Madman! Madman! Yu Xiaogang's thoughts of venting vanished. He stared at Bibi Dong in horror.
Happy? Joyful? Avenged? Who wanted them dead?
That was his family, his father! He'd always dreamed of returning, not destroying them! Only a lunatic like her would think that way!
The idea that his captors forced Bibi Dong to act was more bearable. At least then, he was a passive victim, not the instigator of genocide. But her reasoning—that his expulsion justified their deaths—was insane!
If Yu Yuanzhen knew his death was tied to such a twisted motive, he'd rise from the grave to tear Yu Xiaogang apart!
Whether she acted to unify the continent or despised his clan, to claim it was for his humiliation was maddening. Thank the gods she was coerced into it—though was that any better?
Yu Xiaogang swallowed hard, stifling his anger. He didn't know how the innocent girl he once knew became this lunatic. If he lashed out, she might snap and kill him.
Terrifying!
"Your Majesty…" he stammered, "I… let's not talk about this now…"
*Later in the Meeting.*
"Xiaogang…" Bibi Dong looked at him, disappointed. Did he not share her view?
Well, it was his father, after all. It's fine if he disagreed.
Yu Xiaogang, meeting her gaze, calmed himself. He took a deep breath and asked, "Your Holiness, can you order the Spirit Hall to retract the rumors they spread?"
"Rumors? What rumors?" Bibi Dong was confused.
"Those ones…" Yu Xiaogang recounted the "slanders" he'd heard in Heaven Dou City about his ten theories—his reputation was at stake!
They had to be stopped! As Pope, Bibi Dong could do it, right? He'd planned to guilt-trip her first, but her madness derailed that.
"Asshole!" Bibi Dong fumed. "Is that happening? How bold!"
"Xiaogang, don't worry. I'll investigate this when I return to the Spirit Hall!"
Her eyes blazed with anger. She knew the Worship Hall was behind it. As Pope, she controlled the Spirit Hall's affairs and personnel. A simple order would halt this! The Worship Hall couldn't stop her unless they ousted her.
"Thank you, Your Holiness," Yu Xiaogang sighed in relief. With Bibi Dong's intervention, his reputation as a master would be restored.
He coaxed her gently, noting the madness in her eyes soften. Seizing the moment, he asked, "Can Your Holiness help restore my soul power and damaged tendons?"
Bibi Dong frowned. "Your injuries can be healed by a healing spirit master. But your soul power…" With his soul rings and power gone, only an unconscious martial spirit remained. She was at a loss.
"I'll search the Spirit Hall's records when I return to see if there's a way," she said, shaking her head, anger rising. Xiaogang was just a Great Soul Master, yet Qian Renxue couldn't tolerate even that? So petty!
"Alright," Yu Xiaogang accepted his fate. He hoped she'd find a solution, or he'd remain an ordinary man.
Seeing his sadness, Bibi Dong's heart ached. "Xiaogang, I'll send a healing spirit master to Heaven Dou City immediately. Your injuries will be healed! By the way, about Shrek Academy…"
Yu Xiaogang thought of Shrek, trapped in Heaven Dou City under Xue Qinghe's orders, helpless without support. But with Bibi Dong, he believed he could save them. He couldn't stay in Heaven Dou any longer—neither Emperor Qinghe nor the local Spirit Hall were allies. If they lingered, Shrek would collapse.
Bibi Dong looked troubled. She wanted to help, but it wasn't her call. Even meeting Yu Xiaogang required Qian Renxue's permission. Rescuing Shrek was impossible.
"Time's up!" Fifteen Ton Douluo and Falling Devil Douluo reappeared, eyeing Bibi Dong coldly. To Yu Xiaogang, they sneered, "Ask her to help you and Shrek? Forgot this meeting's under our watch? Idiot!"
Falling Devil Douluo addressed Bibi Dong, "Your Holiness, don't meddle with the Ten Great Theories. Don't let this trash stir trouble for both sides. It's not worth it!"
"Fifteen Ton! Falling Devil!" Bibi Dong's face darkened.
"The Spirit Hall's resources won't be wasted on this loser. Every healing spirit master is valuable," Fifteen Ton Douluo said, lifting Yu Xiaogang mockingly. "Healing him requires at least a Soul Emperor-level healer. We won't waste that on him!"
"Fifteen Ton!" Bibi Dong seethed. "I'm still the Pope! I can mobilize even a Soul Douluo-level healer! And those rumors about Xiaogang—do you think your Worship Hall has that much power?"
Their disregard fueled her murderous intent. She refused to believe the Worship Hall's reach was that long!
Falling Devil Douluo remained calm. "Don't forget who controls Heaven Dou."
While their influence in Star Luo's Spirit Hall was weaker than Bibi Dong's, Heaven Dou's Spirit Hall was firmly under the Worship Hall's control, thanks to Qian Renxue's position as Emperor.
"Don't push me!" Bibi Dong warned.
"Wait until you surpass us," Falling Devil Douluo retorted. "You're too weak now!"
They left without looking back, leaving Bibi Dong fuming.
"Wait until I become a god! I'll kill you all!"
*In the Sky.*
"It's boring," Qian Renxue remarked, observing the scene. Yu Xiaogang's cowardice—caving the moment Bibi Dong showed madness—was dull.
"You came to mock your own mother…" Su Yu noted.
"I treat her as my mother, but does she treat me as her daughter?" Qian Renxue said coolly. "Faced with his father's murder, Yu Xiaogang swallowed his anger. How could she fall for such a man? Her taste is awful!"
With a flip of her hands, a scroll appeared. "For her?"
"Give it to her! It was meant for her. Help her speed up her godhood inheritance!"
…
A scroll slowly unfolded before Bibi Dong, revealing scenes after Yu Xiaogang's departure…
