Chapter 64: A Fierce Competition Between Mother and Daughter
[Cat in the Shadows: You're unbelievable!]
[Yan Zi Is Not Swallow: Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter here—Little Princess, are you actually a princess, or are you just a little green tea?]
[Liu Erlong: A Green-Tea Princess?]
[Group Member No. 9: Or perhaps the Seven Treasures Little Green Tea?]
[Bibi Dong: Little Princess, you're amazing. Ignore them. If they call you a green tea, it's just jealousy. What man doesn't like a soft, clingy girl who knows how to act spoiled?]
[Tang Yuehua: Your Holiness is right. As long as you don't use your charms to do anything excessive, a little green tea won't be hated—it'll actually win you special favor.]
[Cat in the Shadows: Are you two even normal?]
Zhu Zhuqing noticed one thing—
Bibi Dong, Tang Yuehua, and Liu Erlong all loved stirring trouble. They simply couldn't stand seeing others happy, could they?
Pope's Palace
Bibi Dong saw that Su Yan had finished speaking about transmigrators.
She began planning in her heart, then extended an invitation directly.
[Bibi Dong: Su Yan, I'll be blunt. I, Bibi Dong, formally and sincerely invite you to join me. Join my Spirit Hall in the grand cause of unifying the world, and help me deal with Tang San and Tang Hao.]
[Bibi Dong: I can promise you this—whatever you want, I can give you. Wealth, status, beauties—however many you want, you'll have them. When the Spirit Empire unifies the continent, I will confer upon you the title of "King Who Stands at My Side," beneath only me, above millions.]
[Bibi Dong: You said your thoughts are traditional, that you want three wives and four concubines. I think your vision is too small. As long as you join me, I'll build you the greatest palace on the entire Douluo Continent—three palaces, six courts, seventy-two consorts, and three thousand beauties in your harem.]
[Su Yan: ???]
[Everyone: ???]
The entire chat group fell silent.
Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong clung to Su Yan from both sides, their faces growing increasingly unpleasant.
Damn it!
That wretched Bibi Dong!
What kind of insane test is this?!
We actually want to punch you to death right now!
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Bibi Dong, you lunatic! That's enough!]
[Cat in the Shadows: Bibi Dong, take your medicine.]
[Carrot Lover: Bibi Dong, you bad woman! You think everyone in the world is like you—obsessed with vanity, fame, wealth, status, and beauty?!]
[Bibi Dong: Then tell me—why do people work hard to cultivate and stay alive? To achieve… carrot freedom?]
[Carrot Lover: ???]
[Yan Zi Is Not Swallow: This is too much, Your Holiness! How can you use such tempting conditions to lure Su Yan? What if he really can't resist it?!]
[Liu Erlong: I want to stop this, but I don't know how. The old hag is offering way too much. If I were Su Yan, I might not be able to hold back either.]
[Group Member No. 9: Su Yan, listen to me—whatever you do, do NOT agree to Bibi Dong. If you agree, you'll have everything… and your life will lose all goals and expectations.]
[Hu Liena: Pfft. No. 9, are you sure you're trying to persuade him?]
[Hu Liena: Teacher, I'm willing to dedicate myself to helping Su Yan manage those three thousand beauties, all for the sake of Spirit Hall!]
[Tang Yuehua: We are absolutely not interested in knowing what you're thinking.]
[Group Member No. 9: What's even worse is—she still wants to be the Empress!]
Crown Prince's Mansion
Qian Renxue frowned deeply.
She had never expected Bibi Dong to try recruiting Su Yan like this.
So in the end…
Other than being blind, Bibi Dong was still smart. The moment she had even a vague guess about Su Yan's identity, she immediately brought out the biggest sincerity she could offer.
Damn it!
Qian Renxue gritted her teeth.
[I Am an Orphan: Su Yan, whatever Bibi Dong can offer you—I can give you all of it. And whatever Bibi Dong can't give you, I can still give you.]
[I Am an Orphan: What I want from you isn't to be below one person and above millions. I want you to become the king of this continent. Anything you want, I can give. What I don't have, I will obtain for you.]
[Everyone: ???]
Wait, what?
Pope's Palace
Bibi Dong almost jumped from her throne in rage.
"You damned orphan."
"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak with such arrogance?"
"You dare steal someone from my mouth?"
"Unforgivable!"
[Bibi Dong: You're just an orphan. What can you offer? You're nothing but a delusional clown. What qualifications do you have to compete with the Pope herself?]
[I Am an Orphan: Bibi Dong, don't forget—you are also an orphan. Anything you can give, I can give. Anything you cannot give, I can still give.]
[I Am an Orphan: You blind, psychotic, love-brained mess—you're the real clown here. The circus is your rightful home.]
[I Am an Orphan: You still want to unify the continent? Dream on with your trash, Yu Xiaogang. Go be his recycling bin!]
[Yan Zi Is Not Swallow: Garlic bird garlic bird, both too spicy.]
[Carrot Lover: Ah! Ah! How can you two be so mean? Why are you fighting the rest of us for Su Yan?!]
[Seven Treasures Little Princess: Su Yan-gege, maybe I can't offer what they can… but I can offer myself!]
[Tang Yuehua: Sigh~ If Su Yan's heart wavers, the entire Clear Sky Sect is doomed.]
[Spring Wind Revives Again: Su Yan, I beg you—don't agree to help them deal with Tang Hao. Whatever you want, I can also give you.]
[Liu Erlong: I'm truly miserable. I suddenly realized I… have absolutely nothing.]
Zhu Zhuqing stayed silent, simply holding onto Su Yan's arm.
She already knew Su Yan would one day become dazzling, but she never expected something like today—Bibi Dong and the "orphan" both trying to recruit him with such exaggerated conditions!
A massive imperial palace… three palaces, six courts, seventy-two concubines, three thousand beauties…
How great must the temptation be for a man?
In comparison—
Zhu Zhuqing's heart sank. She had nothing. She couldn't offer him anything.
"Don't worry. Don't think too much."
Su Yan spoke softly. Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong both turned to look at him. Even Xiao Wu stared blankly at him from the side.
[Su Yan: You two really went all out. I admit I'm tempted. But just like No. 9 said—if I accept your offers, my life would have no pursuit left.]
[Su Yan: Do you really want my life to consist only of happiness?]
[Su Yan: I'm someone who likes to speak small truths. Wealth, status, and beauties are nothing more than passing clouds to me. Not because I'm noble, but because if I wanted them… I could obtain them myself.]
[Su Yan: I like beautiful women, yes, but that doesn't mean I'm someone without a bottom line. I'm only interested in "women I like, who also like me." So let's stop talking about this.]
When Bibi Dong saw Su Yan's reply, her face immediately darkened.
'No way.'
'You… No. 9! If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a mute! If you like lurking, then stay silent!'
'What do you mean "life would have no pursuit"?'
'I can't deal with this!'
[Bibi Dong: Su Yan, I'm guessing you've never experienced the joy that power can bring. Trust me—once you accept, you'll lose your bottom line very quickly.]
[Everyone: ???]
