Chapter 156: Mother and Daughter Fall Out! Killing Intent from the Goddess of Life
Qian Renxue was so angry she laughed when she heard Bibi Dong's interrogating tone, and then retorted without hesitation: "Your Majesty the Pope, I don't think I need your approval for everything I do, right?"
"You are using the power of the Elder Palace of the Spirit Hall to protect a mortal enemy of the Spirit Hall. Do you know what kind of crime that is?"
Bibi Dong maintained that same cold tone.
Yet anyone could hear the killing intent hidden in her tone; even though it was Qian Renxue standing before her, she still harbored killing intent!
"Has Your Majesty the Pope perhaps forgotten?"
"Snake Lance and Porcupinefish's identities are, first and foremost, my guards, and only secondarily, Elders of the Spirit Hall."
"So, whose orders should they actually follow?"
Currently, Qian Renxue had not yet become a Soul Douluo, but Bibi Dong's strength had likely already reached level ninety-nine. Facing Bibi Dong, she had no chance of winning.
Yet, she did not fear Bibi Dong, staring directly into Bibi Dong's unpredictable eyes.
"..."
Bibi Dong's chest heaved violently; she was clearly furious, but she still softened her tone and said: "Now that the plan has started ahead of schedule, you can begin to wrap up your operations in the Heaven Dou Empire."
"You should know what the consequences are if you rashly initiate the final operation ahead of time."
Having been retorted by Qian Renxue time and time again.
Bibi Dong's tone was icy: "Qian Renxue, do you know who you are speaking to... Do not forget, I am the Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
"And also your..."
"Shut up!"
Qian Renxue shouted angrily, tears shimmering in her eyes, her expression carrying a hint of despair: "You are not worthy of that title, so... you have no right to order me."
"If you are only here to interrogate me, you can go back. It is not your place to lecture me on what I do. Furthermore, Bibi Dong."
"Chu Chen is my... In any case, if you make a move against him, I will definitely stop you."
Bibi Dong laughed, but her laughter was somewhat miserable.
"You have fallen in love with him?"
The word "love," spoken from Bibi Dong's mouth, seemed truly ironic to her. Her only lover had died at the hands of Qian Renxue's lover. This relationship... was indeed enough to make one feel incredibly insane.
"So what if I have?"
"I know that you were the one who told the Clear Sky Sect about Dugu Bo. If you don't want me to tell Grandfather about this, then don't even think about provoking Chu Chen again."
After saying this, Qian Renxue turned and left.
Bibi Dong laughed out of extreme anger; she had the urge to take action, but Qian Renxue was her daughter, so she still could not bring herself to do it.
"So... this is why you are contacting the Lower Four Sects. You want me to lose my position as Pope. Qian Renxue, this is not a wise choice. Chu Chen, I must kill him."
She said it in an unquestionable manner.
This caused the last glimmer of hope in Qian Renxue's eyes to dissipate. She held the Angel Sword and pointed it at Bibi Dong.
"Bibi Dong, since I was young, I have endured your almost cold and hateful treatment. You are not worthy to speak to me from the perspective of a mother. Now... if you want to kill Chu Chen, then you are my enemy."
"Just by you, with your Soul Saint strength?"
Bibi Dong released her Soul Power from within her body. The sight of Qian Renxue holding a sword against her stung her eyes.
That was the Angel Sword! It was the Angel lineage that she had exhausted everything to completely sever!!
"If you want to fight, then come."
Qian Renxue smiled miserably, her Soul Power condensing within her, ready to act at any moment.
In the end, Bibi Dong compromised.
She remained silent and turned to leave.
Perhaps at this moment, she and Qian Renxue could no longer be on the same side. Even though they both came from the Spirit Hall, their positions and beliefs were ultimately different!
Not until Bibi Dong had completely left.
Did Qian Renxue collapse weakly to the ground, but she fell into Chu Chen's arms. Chu Chen steadied Qian Renxue, and a familiar voice reached her ears: "Are you alright?"
Qian Renxue looked back.
Then she saw Chu Chen looking at her with a smile. Seeming not to have expected Chu Chen to appear at this moment, Qian Renxue was somewhat flustered.
"I'm sorry, I let you see this side of me."
Qian Renxue said softly.
"If you want, I can also pretend I didn't see it."
Chu Chen did not bring up what had just happened. His aura was well concealed, and Bibi Dong had not noticed his presence at all. However, Chu Chen had not expected that Qian Renxue would, because of him...
...break with Bibi Dong to such an extent!
"You must have heard it, the information that Tang Hao's Soul Bone was with Senior Dugu Bo was told to the Clear Sky Sect by Bibi Dong."
Qian Renxue said.
Chu Chen nodded, but it was hard to believe that in order to get rid of him, Bibi Dong would even use the Clear Sky Sect, and it was likely that Bibi Dong had taken the initiative to find Tang Xiao.
"I will settle this account with her personally. But you, doing so much for me behind the scenes, are you trying to make it so I can never repay your favors?"
Listening to Chu Chen's joking tone, the sadness in Qian Renxue's heart dissipated a little. She smiled through her tears: "I didn't really want you to repay me."
"That's where you're wrong. Maybe one day you will need my help. But if that day really comes, just let me know."
Chu Chen quietly activated the Blue Silver Domain, smoothing out Qian Renxue's emotions with pure life energy, and then said to her: "Bibi Dong, she has realized that you are standing against her."
"If you want to continue to maintain your grip on the Lower Four Sects, you need to speed up your progress."
Qian Renxue also realized this in her heart.
"I understand."
Qian Renxue wiped away her tears, returning to her previous appearance.
"Um... since you heard it all, um..."
A rare blush of shyness appeared on her cold, frost-like face, and her stuttering appearance actually seemed incredibly cute.
"Hmm? Didn't I just say I didn't see it?"
Chu Chen laughed out loud. Seeing the slightly "broken" Qian Renxue waving her fist at him, a sense of satisfaction rose in Chu Chen's heart; teasing Qian Renxue was actually quite interesting.
"Let's go, back to Heaven Dou City."
The two walked side by side towards Heaven Dou City.
"By the way Chu Chen, I have a question."
"What?"
"Who is Qiu'er? A woman you're keeping on the side?"
"???"
Chu Chen's brows furrowed tightly. What the hell was this? How did she suddenly think to ask such a question?!
"It's time to go back and prepare for the Goddess of Life's trial. I wonder what kind of trial is waiting for me. She wouldn't just kill me, would she?"
As Chu Chen's consciousness entered his spiritual space, he entered a special state. In this space, which resembled a sea of spirit, he saw the stunningly beautiful Goddess of Life.
She slowly turned around.
However, that stunningly beautiful face was now filled with cold killing intent!!!
