Mother and DaughterWaves crashed against the bottom of the cliffs, bringing with them a salty, damp sea breeze.
On the cliff, Dai Yao sat cross-legged.
As two figures rapidly approached from behind, Dai Yao stood up and turned around. Seeing their different expressions, his heart skipped a beat. Bibi Dong's face was as cold and stern as ever, but there was a hint of sorrow between her brows, while Qian Renxue's face showed shock and bewilderment as if her worldview had collapsed.
"how's it going?"
He asked hurriedly.
Qian Renxue was still somewhat dazed when she heard Dai Yao's voice, which startled her back to reality.
"I have told her everything about the grudges from back then. She is having some trouble accepting it right now and needs some time to process it. However, before she leaves, she has something she wants to say to you."
Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue gently and said slowly.
Upon hearing this, Dai Yao looked at Qian Renxue, only to meet her gaze as she raised it. Compared to her previous warmth, that gaze held a hint of unfamiliarity and distance, causing Dai Yao's heart to tremble.
He's not stupid; he understands Qian Renxue's feelings.
In the original story, due to her twisted experiences, no man could catch her eye, and she was ultimately defeated by Tang San, which led to a distorted love for him. In this life, Dai Yao stayed by Qian Renxue's side during her most dangerous time, and it is no exaggeration to say that he is the person in this world who is closest to Qian Renxue's heart.
With just a promise, he could take this aloof angel goddess away.
However, now that he has Bibi Dong, even though Bibi Dong doesn't mind, Qian Renxue is, after all, Bibi Dong's daughter, and for both reason and emotion, Dai Yao must keep his distance from her.
"good······"
Dai Yao hesitated for a moment, then spoke slowly.
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, then turned into a speck of light and disappeared.
On the cliff, only the two of them remained, silently gazing at each other, neither speaking a word.
The sea breeze blew, her hair fluttered, and Qian Renxue's vision gradually blurred. Gazing at that familiar face, it was as if a boulder had been thrown into a lake of her heart, creating huge ripples, and memories from that year flooded back into her mind.
On the Canglan River, in a small boat, he was more weak than ever before due to his serious injuries and could not move. He could only lie on the swaying boat to recuperate.
It was this man in front of her who stood in front of her without regard for anything else, bearing all the hostility.
Although he was dressed as a man at the time, he did not look down on him, but took care of him selflessly until he recovered.
That was the most relaxed time she had ever experienced. Even when she wasn't injured, with her status as the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, the Young Master of the Spirit Hall, and several Title Douluo as her bodyguards, she had never felt so at ease.
Of course, what she didn't know was that it was precisely because Dai Yao knew Qian Renxue's true identity in the original work, coupled with his own predicament in the Spirit Hall and the confidence and escape route given to him by the Chaos Green Lotus, that he helped Qian Renxue, which ultimately made her feel favorably toward him. It could be said that his plan backfired.
"If only I could stay on that ship forever..."
Qian Renxue couldn't help but murmur softly, her voice trembling slightly, before dissipating in the wind, barely audible.
Bibi Dong's words just now shattered her worldview.
My mother was my father's disciple. My father hurt my mother, and my mother hated him intensely, as well as herself, who bore his blood. I had hated him for so many years, and now my mother was also a victim.
Isn't that ridiculous?
Whom should I hate?
The mother who caused him thirty years of suffering? Or the father who was the culprit? Or perhaps Yu Xiaogang, who should never have appeared?
My fate is truly laughable.
Even if you are born into one of the world's most prestigious families, you may not have the kind of family affection that ordinary people value the least.
After a life of wandering, by sheer chance, she finally found someone she could entrust the rest of her life to; in fact, that person could be considered her only salvation. However, that person ended up with her mother, healing her mother's past wounds.
Indeed, she sympathized with her mother's past experiences and hoped to see her mother heal from her inner wounds.
But why is that person Dai Yao?
Was she not injured?
Why can't she be the one who gets healed?
Having inherited the position of an angel and possessing the world's highest power, she felt even more lonely and helpless than when she was abandoned as a child.
Having already become a god, how could Dai Yao not hear Qian Renxue's murmur? He paused slightly, then said sincerely:
"Time always moves forward, and that ship can't stay on the Canglan River forever. Just like now, you no longer hate Bibi Dong as much as you used to, right?"
Qian Renxue paused, pulling herself back to reality from her memories. A pang of sadness gripped her heart, her eyes welled with tears, and she forced a smile, saying:
"I'm sorry you had to see this."
Another sea breeze blew in, and Qian Renxue smoothed her hair, looking in the direction the wind was coming from. The sea was vast, the sky boundless, and waves crashed against her, but her heart felt empty. She didn't want Dai Yao to see her dejected state, so she forced herself to maintain her usual aloof expression, took a deep breath, and said:
"Bibi Dong is a pitiful person and a foolish fellow, but once she sets her mind on something, she will never easily change her mind."
"Just like she's made up her mind about you."
"If her choice this time ends in failure, then she is finished. She cannot bear to be betrayed again. Dai Yao, I know you have many female confidantes, but I beg you not to let her down."
"Of course not."
Dai Yao said earnestly.
The bond between him and Bibi Dong far exceeded Qian Renxue's imagination.
Since joining the Spirit Hall, he entered the Rakshasa God Trial and began to have entanglements with Bibi Dong. Later, it was mostly Dai Yao's one-sided devotion. When Bibi Dong learned that Hu Liena had also fallen in love with him, although she was already moved, she still hardened her heart and decided to eliminate Dai Yao so that Hu Liena would not be caught in a dilemma.
However, after Dai Yao decided to leave her his level 99 soul power so that she wouldn't have to commit murder in order to become a god, her long-sealed heart was completely opened. Only then did she put aside her pride, give everything, and beg for Dai Yao's forgiveness.
Despite many twists and turns, the two eventually got together.
It has to be said, the yandere's utterly shameless pursuit of his forgiveness is simply irresistible...
However, Qian Renxue's sharp assessment of Bibi Dong as a 'stupid fellow' made him feel ashamed.
Of course, in the original story, it was indeed incredibly foolish for the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall to fall in love with a down-on-his-luck boy and even be willing to leave the Spirit Hall for him.
"By the way, what are your plans next? After becoming a god, is there anything you want to accomplish?"
Dai Yao inquired.
The latest novels are first published on 69shuba!
Qian Renxue slightly raised her eyes, looking at the person so close to her, yet feeling as if they were at the ends of the earth.
Of course, she has things she wants to accomplish.
Back then, because of her family and her position, she had to separate from the only person she truly loved. After becoming a god, she naturally wanted to keep that man by her side. But now, that's impossible.
Qian Renxue gave a bitter smile:
"Is this what I wanted to accomplish? I never expected to encounter such a terrifying opponent as the God of Asura so soon after becoming a god. I thought that once I became a god, I could dominate the continent, but now it seems that was just a joke."
"What I want now is to go back to the ancestral hall and pay my respects to my grandfather..."
Her voice sounded somewhat lonely as she spoke.
Dai Yao remained silent for a moment.
"That's all for now. I'll be going now. Come find me at the Hall of Offerings when you have time. You're the only person I've ever talked to in my life."
Qian Renxue turned her head, spread her six wings, smiled slightly as she looked back, her expression somewhat sorrowful, and then transformed into a golden streak of light and disappeared into the air.
The beauty had gone far away, and only her ethereal and sorrowful voice still echoed in his ears. Dai Yao stood there for a long time, and a purplish-black light slowly crawled around him, revealing Bibi Dong's noble figure.
"Why don't you just say yes? Don't you still have feelings for her? You know I'm not here..."
Before Bibi Dong could finish saying the word "care," Dai Yao waved his hand to interrupt her, saying:
"Alright, let's not bring this up again. Xue'er has carried a burden all her life, and now that she's finally free of it, why put her in a dilemma again?"
Gazing at Bibi Dong's delicate face, he reached out and lifted her chin. Bibi Dong, like a kitten having its chin touched, revealed an expression of comfort and adoration. Seeing this, Dai Yao smiled:
"Nana, being with me is already making you suffer. I know you still feel guilty about what happened back then, but I don't think you need to keep making yourself suffer just to please me."
After a while, as Dai Yao released her hand, Bibi Dong gradually regained her senses, but an uncontrollable blush rose on her pretty face. She calmed her somewhat rapid breathing and nodded.
"Alright, you should go back now. The appearance of the Asura God not long ago has probably caused panic in Wuhun City. Now is the critical moment to destroy the Star Luo Empire, and you must personally oversee the situation."
Dai Yao looked in the direction of the Star Luo Empire, his expression gradually becoming indifferent.
"What should be done with the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire? Should they be spared? And what about the Zhu family?"
Bibi Dong thought for a moment and then asked.
Dai Yao was, after all, from the Dai family. Although he had irreconcilable conflicts with the Dai family, his uncle Dai Hengyu had a close relationship with the Dai family. Moreover, Bibi Dong knew that Dai Yao had let Dai Mubai go several times. How to deal with the Star Luo Empire depended on Dai Yao's intentions.
Dai Yao paused, then said coldly:
"The Dai family? Let them disappear. If anyone is willing to give up their Dai family identity, spare their life; if anyone is willing to die with them, then so be it."
"As for the Zhu family... the life-or-death competition between the sisters must be abolished, and then let them fend for themselves..."
As Zhu Zhuqing's husband, Dai Yao naturally knew how harsh some members of the Zhu family had been to her. However, after Dai Yao stormed the Star Luo Empire, most of the Zhu family's enemies who had grudges against Zhu Zhuqing were dead, and those who remained were nothing more than strangers.
Zhu Zhuqing had also told him that what truly bound her was the cold clan rules.
The Zhu family can be spared as long as the clan rules are abolished.
However, Zhu Zhuqing once joked that without this clan rule, how could she have been with Dai Yao?
As soon as she finished speaking, Bibi Dong's eyes turned slightly cold. She nodded and then disappeared.
"Now, it's time to resolve the trouble left behind by the God of Asura..."
Hearing the waves crashing on the shore, Dai Yao's gaze sharpened, and he sped towards the City of Slaughter. (End of Chapter)
