"Of course not!"
Ye Tian shook his head and crooked his finger at Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue hesitated for a moment.
Then immediately lowered her posture, lying down on the sand pile, bringing her cheek as close to Ye Tian as possible.
"Hurry up and tell me~"
"First go buy some props..."
Ye Tian looked at the earlobe so close to him and explained softly.
"..."
After hearing Ye Tian's scheme.
Qian Renxue's eyes held some unease as she lowered her gaze, staring at Ye Tian beneath her.
"R-really, is this okay?"
"Of course, as long as you act convincingly enough."
Ye Tian patiently persuaded.
This was admittedly a terrible idea, but he was certain it would have miraculous effects!
Even if it was fake...
If Bi Bi Dong was truly human, she'd have to at least tremble and give some reaction, right?
Then, Ye Tian continued to advise:
"Once you're sure, you must leave immediately, otherwise it'll backfire."
"..."
Qian Renxue seemed hesitant.
Silently propping herself up, she pressed her pink lips together, having already made up her mind.
"Alright! I'll use your method!"
Qian Renxue nodded heavily, her eyes sparkling with an indescribable light.
To prove something like this...
It seemed like she shouldn't use deceptive means!
Qian Renxue decided,
She would use all her strength to kowtow to her mother!
If her mother truly didn't care about her
Then she'd take it as a lesson learned, and she wouldn't bother her anymore.
Qian Renxue secretly resolved.
Under Ye Tian's surprised gaze, she quickly stood up and said crisply:
"I'm going right now!"
After speaking.
Qian Renxue seemed to want to say something but stopped, looking down at Ye Tian, unsure how to address him.
Thinking of his specialty, Qian Renxue suddenly had an epiphany!
"Thank you, Shark Sculpture friend!"
"No matter the outcome, I'll bring the Whale Jelly to you."
Without waiting for his response.
Qian Renxue turned and ran, kicking up some sand that landed on Ye Tian's face.
She had managed to sneak down the mountain with great difficulty.
She needed to hurry!
"???"
"What did that unlucky child just call me? Shark Sculpture?!"
Ye Tian twitched his mouth, feeling utterly strange.
Even if she didn't know how to address him, they could have exchanged names!
No need to insult people.
"I hope Bi Bi Dong doesn't see through it, otherwise I'll really become a shark sculpture."
Ye Tian continued lying on the beach.
Soon putting aside those irrelevant trivial matters.
He began thinking about what kind of First Soul Skill he should acquire.
This question was crucial!
Preferably something that could continuously help his own growth.
―
While Ye Tian was pondering carefully here, he would never have imagined...
Qian Renxue's stubborn mule nature was already showing!
She didn't go buy any props at all, but ran straight back.
Not long after
At Bi Bi Dong's residence.
A cold shout seemed capable of piercing through one's heart.
"Get out!"
Bi Bi Dong's face was cold, full of disgust.
Using the Six-Winged Angel Spirit to bring her good news? Simply disgusting!
Already driven away.
Yet she came sticking back like a piece of stubborn adhesive.
Bi Bi Dong's eyes flashed coldly.
Was someone behind this?
But at this time, that beast should still be at the square.
"Mom, why do you hate Xue'er?!"
"Xue'er has been very obedient and hasn't done anything wrong!"
Qian Renxue looked at Bi Bi Dong with complete confusion.
She had asked this question more than once, yet no one could provide her with an answer.
"Enough! Haven't I made myself clear enough?"
Bi Bi Dong cast aside those thoughts, clenched her embroidered fists, and suppressed her killing intent.
Her words remained venomous.
"Just seeing you makes me sick!"
"..."
Qian Renxue gazed at the woman before her, tears silently streaming down her face.
Asking would yield nothing!
She had to resort to the method that guy had given her.
With this thought,
Qian Renxue's beautiful purple eyes suddenly took on a resolve akin to facing death.
Her gaze scattered, searching for a target.
Soon, it settled on the pillar standing upright in the middle of the room.
"Hmm?"
Bi Bi Dong furrowed her brows, suddenly feeling restless. She urged:
"Hurry up and get out of here!"
"Ah——!"
Suddenly.
Qian Renxue let out a loud cry.
It made Bi Bi Dong shudder involuntarily, and she looked at Qian Renxue with astonishment.
What was wrong with this child?
Had she driven her mad with her harsh words?
Before Bi Bi Dong's heart could soften,
a hysterical scream instantly made her feel flustered.
"Ah——Mom——!"
Under Bi Bi Dong's stunned,
utterly bewildered gaze,
Qian Renxue closed her eyes and clenched her fists.
Like a stubborn ox,
she charged forward without hesitation, thrusting her head toward the Pillar.
No one knew
how much courage this required for someone of Qian Renxue's age.
A dull thud echoed!
"You—"
Bi Bi Dong froze, her heart tightening involuntarily.
Drip, drip!
Only when crimson liquid splattered into eerie blood blossoms beneath the pillar
did Bi Bi Dong abruptly snap back to reality.
Her body turned cold!
"Ah…"
Qian Renxue let out a mournful cry, tears flowing uncontrollably.
She clung to the pillar.
With every breath, she tasted a faint saltiness and metallic tang.
As she lifted her head from the pillar, it left behind a pool of still-flowing blood.
Qian Renxue felt dizzy and disoriented.
Unable to control her body, she staggered and nearly collapsed to the ground.
Thump!
Amid the spinning world,
Qian Renxue did not fall to the ground but landed in Bi Bi Dong's arms.
"..."
Bi Bi Dong said nothing, her eyes fixed on the blood-stained white dress and delicate face. Her expression was a complex mix of confusion, sorrow, panic—indescribable emotions.
She was at a loss.
Catching the falling Qian Renxue was the only thing she could do.
She had never imagined
this child's temperament could be so fierce! Everything had seemed fine for so long.
"Mom, Mom…"
Qian Renxue wept, murmuring incessantly.
Reminding herself not to forget the purpose of this desperate act.
Even though she could no longer tell east from west,
her eyes were exceptionally bright!
She had seen the panic in Bi Bi Dong's eyes, seen it clearly!
That guy was right, he was right!
Qian Renxue wanted to laugh, but the sharp pain in her forehead only made her cry.
Ye Tian's warning echoed in her ears as if he were right beside her.
She couldn't stay too long!
Summoning her strength, Qian Renxue struggled to break free from Bi Bi Dong's embrace.
The murmurs reached Bi Bi Dong's ears,
stirring an unprecedented pang of compassion in her heart at that moment.
Yet, she seemed unable to control her own body.
She could only watch with reddened eyes as Qian Renxue slipped from her arms.
"Mom, Mom, goodbye…"
Qian Renxue stood unsteadily but had already regained some composure.
Facing Bi Bi Dong's rigid arms,
Qian Renxue dodged with movements unimaginable to an ordinary person, scrambling and rolling away.
"It's okay, Xue'er is fine～"
Her voice trembled with sobs.
Qian Renxue waved her little hands as she walked deeper into the room, then wobbled back before meandering outward in a winding path.
Clearly, she had run in the wrong direction earlier.
After Qian Renxue ran out the door, the scent of blood still lingered in the room.
Bi Bi Dong looked at the bloodstains on her hand.
Memories of the bloodshed in Slaughter City came rushing back as she slowly brought her fingertips to her lips.
Crack!
Bi Bi Dong suddenly clenched her fist, knuckles popping, her face filled with resentment.
"Damn it!"
In the end, she still couldn't rest easy.
Bi Bi Dong quickly stood up and stood at the doorway, watching Qian Renxue who couldn't run in a straight line.
Not seeing the covert escort, Bi Bi Dong's expression grew even darker. Though filled with bitter resentment, she couldn't help but take a step forward.
Little did she know.
The good-natured Glowing Feather Douluo, who had followed Qian Renxue here, couldn't suppre
ss his rising anger at this moment.
It was all because of that reckless boy's terrible suggestion!
If he hadn't been close enough to overhear and understand that this was Qian Renxue's own idea, he would have shot that boy through the heart.
Fortunately,
Qian Renxue now had a face full of laughter, looking happier than ever before.
This made Glowing Feather both heartbroken and helpless.
Who says only parents have it hard? Children have their own struggles too!
