"Grandpa, just tell me what to do!" Qian Renxue's voice revealed a hint of helplessness and agitation.
In the Douluo Hall, the atmosphere had become extremely awkward. Qian Renxue sat down before the Seraphim statue, her arms crossed over her chest, sullen and silent. Her beautiful face was filled with displeasure and anxiety.
Qian Daoliu stood at the side, grimacing, feeling a great headache. He had lived for so many years and considered himself to have seen all aspects of the world. But today, he was truly shocked by his own granddaughter's words. He couldn't help but mutter in his heart, The devil knows what I just heard. All of this is so unbelievable that I'm starting to suspect whether the world has gone mad, or if I have gone mad myself.
Although he was extremely shocked by what Qian Renxue had said about her possibly being the reincarnation of the Angel Ancestor, his Dao heart had not been shattered because of it.
Bad news: the ancestor has already fallen. Good news: the fall was not complete. The inheritance of the next-generation Angel God is set in stone.
What gave him a headache was the relationship between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue. Back then, he had felt guilty because he thought Qian Renxue was born because of what Qian Xunji had done to Bibi Dong.
Thinking about it now, all of this was the good work of that rebellious son.
No wonder on the day of his death, he had been able to feel the fluctuation of evil god power on Bibi Dong. It turned out that Qian Xunji had earlier put Bibi Dong in a spiritual prison, allowing the Rakshasa God to have an opportunity to descend the qualification for its divine trial.
Back then, when Bibi Dong had just returned from the Slaughter City and had successfully obtained the Slaughter God Domain, Qian Daoliu had thought that she could continue the unfinished path of Tang Chen and successfully inherit the Asura God's god-seat.
He, Tang Chen, and Bo Saixi were extremely close friends. They had already understood each other's strengths and trump cards quite well. The reason Tang Chen had gone and never returned back then was because the Slaughter God Domain was the qualification to inherit the Asura God's god-seat. He was going to undergo the divine trial.
And Bibi Dong, as a twin martial soul that had not appeared in a hundred years, her talent could be said to be even above Tang Chen's. Qian Daoliu was very optimistic about Bibi Dong.
But what he had never expected was that just after Bibi Dong had calmed the killing intent brought out from the Slaughter City and had calmed her own state of mind a little, that incident had happened.
That fellow Qian Xunji had thought that Bibi Dong needed to be eroded by evil thoughts to open the posture of becoming a god, but he did not know that she herself had the qualification to inherit the Asura God's seat.
At that time, Bibi Dong had just returned from the Slaughter City not long ago. The Slaughter God Domain she had obtained had not yet been completely mastered. The struggle between the Asura God and the Rakshasa God was still going on in secret.
This rival of the Asura God took pleasure in destroying the inheritance of the Asura God's god-seat. Originally, she should not have been able to affect Bibi Dong, but a certain person of worldly wisdom had, at this very point in time, shattered Bibi Dong's state of mind, allowing her to be disturbed by evil thoughts, giving her an opportunity.
Thus, perhaps it was because the Asura God had not reacted in time; or perhaps it was because the Bibi Dong at this time no longer met the qualifications of his successor—after all, his god-seat inheritor needed to be extremely self-centered, but did not need paranoid madness—that he had proactively given up on Bibi Dong.
This was what had allowed Bibi Dong to become the inheritor of the Rakshasa God. Perhaps it was because the Asura God no longer paid attention to Bibi Dong, which made the Rakshasa God feel bored; or perhaps she herself did not care about the matter of the god-seat inheritance. She had not a single bit of a senior's care for a junior towards Bibi Dong.
The soul power level reward that a divine trial should have, there was none; the divine weapon that a divine trial should have, there was none now either; the soul rings and soul bones that a divine trial should have, were also non-existent. She even had to endure the erosion of the Rakshasa's divine power, suppressing her own strength.
Lin Feng even suspected that the Rakshasa God was doing it on purpose. She just wanted Bibi Dong to die quickly, so that the position of the god-seat inheritor would be empty, and then she could continue to make trouble, messing with the Asura God and snatching his inheritors. It was estimated that the matter of Tang Chen being possessed was her doing in secret.
Fortunately, the rules of the Divine Realm were there. She could not make a move on Bibi Dong openly. The divine trial still proceeded, just without the rewards.
Qian Daoliu sighed. That fellow Qian Xunji was just a fool. What double god plan? Besides Qian Renxue's reincarnation, which you contributed a little bit to, Bibi Dong's god-seat was directly downgraded by you.
Even this matter was probably a case of a blind cat running into a dead mouse. If the Rakshasa God had not taken a fancy to Bibi Dong, this would have directly cut off her path to godhood.
However, now, learning all of this from Qian Renxue's mouth, he had to think about it once again. The esteemed Pope had actually taken a just-turned-Soul-King Lin Feng to her secret room. Truly amazing.
But then again, without her taking Lin Feng to the secret room, there would not have been the hints given by Lin Feng, nor would Qian Renxue have learned the truth at this time. This cause and effect relationship was inescapable.
Now his daughter-in-law had become his granddaughter-in-law. Oh no, she had never been his daughter-in-law. This later-arriving granddaughter-in-law was now going to fight with his childhood-sweetheart granddaughter over a man. Oh no, over the position of the main wife. What was this?
Even though Qian Daoliu had lived for over 120 years now, he had never seen such a situation. Today, he had seen it all.
"That stinking brat..." Qian Daoliu gritted his teeth in hatred, yet was helpless. He knew that the fault of all this actually stemmed from his own disappointing son, Qian Xunji.
He looked at Qian Renxue. Now he didn't know whether he should continue to call her granddaughter or, according to his faith, directly give her a super seniority boost and call her ancestor.
"That... Xue'er."
Qian Daoliu's tone was extremely conflicted. Could he manage this kind of thing? Even if Qian Xunji hadn't taken Bibi Dong to the secret room, it was a fact that he had made her suffer the torment of an illusion, and had even turned her into a paranoid madwoman in a false relationship for several years.
Since ancient times, the word "love" has hurt the heart the most. He himself had a good understanding of this. He knew best the feeling of wanting something but not being able to get it. So he also knew that if this matter was not handled properly, the Pope's Hall and the Douluo Hall would probably be in chaos.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curse Lin Feng in his heart. This damned stinking brat, ever since he was seven years old, all the cabbages in his Spirit Hall were about to be plowed by him.
Qian Renxue, needless to say. After going on a trip to Heaven Dou City, she had come back and officially brought Ling Yuan before him. If not for his good temper, he really would have wanted to beat this boy up.
Later, he had also taken down Bibi Dong. Although it seemed he was the victim... damn it, he shouldn't have let him come back in the first place. It would have been so much better to let them stay far away from Spirit City. He had only been back for these few days, and Bibi Dong had already succeeded.
This Bibi Dong too, who else could she like but Lin Feng? Before you learned the truth, even if it was fake, the identity of a son-in-law was still there. What, could this identity make you even more excited? I give up.
He was dazed for a moment, then suddenly stunned. In that case, it seemed he had no descendants in the bloodline sense anymore? That Qian Xunji, that unfilial son, didn't seem to have even left him a single heir. He was just f*cking focused on his double god plan.
"Grandpa, what are you trying to say?" Qian Renxue's brow furrowed slightly. Looking at Qian Daoliu's conflicted expression, her heart couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath and decided to speak his mind. "Xue'er, regarding the matter between you, Bibi Dong, and Lin Feng, emmm," Qian Daoliu rubbed his temples. "You came to find me, what do you want to do? Whatever grandpa can help with, I will definitely help you."
Qian Renxue snorted. "Revoke Bibi Dong's position as Pope. Seeing how she can put her energy into competing with me for status, she probably doesn't have much interest in this Pope's throne."
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu was somewhat surprised. He had thought she wanted to directly cut off Bibi Dong's thoughts about Lin Feng. How come listening to Qian Renxue's meaning, it seemed she just wanted the other party to be defeated and be willing to be an equal wife?
He couldn't help but have a strange expression and asked, "Xue'er, you've... accepted Bibi Dong?"
Qian Renxue puffed out her cheeks, a look of frustration on her face. "What else can I do? Lin Feng definitely has her in his heart. If I really drive her away, will it make Lin Feng sad?"
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu couldn't help but feel deeply moved in his heart. He, as a grandfather, naturally hoped that his granddaughter could be happy. And Lin Feng clearly occupied an important position in Qian Renxue's heart. For her to be able to make a concession showed that her feelings for Lin Feng were deep.
But the more Xue'er was like this, the more of a fire there was in his heart. This damned stinking brat, how could he be so good at attracting peach blossoms? Is he some kind of innate bee-attracting saint body? Why wasn't it this smooth when I was pursuing Xixi back then? One after another, is the next one going to be a transformed soul beast?
Oh right, there already is one. Xue'er said that after that hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor retransformed and shaped her body, she was preparing to take him down.
Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh at the sky. "Xue'er, the appointment of a Pope is not so easy. First, one must become a Holy Son or Saintess, then have the qualifications confirmed by the council of elders, and the last hurdle is me."
"Looking at the history of Spirit Hall, there has never been a case of deposing a Pope. The current Spirit Hall is at its zenith. This kind of thing is even more impossible. If you really want to, grandpa will bear the pressure and let Bibi Dong resign. I will temporarily take over the authority of the Pope, but not the title."
Qian Renxue pouted. In fact, she had just said it out of anger. She naturally knew this was impossible, nor did she want it to be so.
Grandpa is also straightforward. He can really pull Bibi Dong down.
She sighed. "No need, grandpa. I just came to you to complain a bit, and at the same time, have you, old one, help me think of how to deal with it."
How to deal with it? A black line appeared on Qian Daoliu's forehead. He wasn't a philanderer. Qian Renxue wasn't unaware of his unrequited love for Bo Saixi. You're asking me for advice? What's the difference between that and asking that Yan from the academy recently?
He said with annoyance and helplessness, "Grandpa doesn't know. The affairs of young people, and you play so fancy. You want me to give you advice?"
The more he thought, the angrier he got. "I'll go and have a word with Bibi Dong, tell her to let go. After that, don't come looking for me. Oh right, have that stinking brat Lin Feng come and see me after he gets back," Qian Daoliu said through gritted teeth, these few words squeezed out from between his teeth.
Qian Renxue, seeing her grandfather was angry and wanted to leave, hurriedly stopped him.
"Hey hey hey! Don't go, grandpa!"
She hurriedly pulled on Qian Daoliu's sleeve, not letting him go. Seeing Qian Daoliu look over with confusion, Qian Renxue stuck out her tongue. "That... grandpa, don't go looking for her. With your position here, to go and talk to her about our affairs, she will instead laugh at me. I'll have lost half the battle before it even starts."
Qian Daoliu's face turned black. "Then what should grandpa do? It's not right to go and talk to her, and it's not right to stay here. You come and tell me these things, making my state of mind a complete mess. What on earth do you want me to do, Xue'er?"
Qian Renxue smiled embarrassedly. "That... I was just looking for someone to confide in. And weren't you always thinking about the ancestor's matter? I took the opportunity to tell you this time."
Qian Daoliu was silent. He closed his eyes, turned around, and walked towards the depths of the Douluo Hall. "Then you can solve it yourselves. If you need me to make a move, then come and find me. Your position as the main wife cannot be snatched away by her," he responded with annoyance. This black-hearted cotton jacket, she came here sincerely to mess with my mentality. I see it clearly now. These two grand-dames are about to go to war. Xue'er just came to pull out her trump card.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look forward to it. With me here, can Lin Feng still make Bibi Dong his main wife? I am a Limit Douluo, the Great Priest of Spirit Hall.
My strength and status are here. At that time, with just one word from me, won't Xue'er's position be stable? Can Bibi Dong become a god in these few years?
Waiting to see you suffer, stinking brat!!! Back then, I had a headache dealing with just one, and I didn't even win her over. You fcker have to face four at once. Let's see how you'll calm their fire. Being taken away by that unknown senior for so long, you didn't expect your backyard to catch fire, did you!!!*
Qian Renxue walked out of the Douluo Hall, letting out a long sigh of relief. To explain these matters to her grandfather had taken her a long time. During that time, Qian Daoliu had even had an unstable aura, leaking the aura of a Limit Douluo, causing the Douluo Hall to tremble and making the other few grandpas come over once. Fortunately, she had casually found a reason to brush it off.
At that time, Qian Renxue had seen Qian Daoliu's shocked face, his mouth wide open and speechless. She had almost suspected his Dao heart had shattered. Fortunately, grandpa's mentality was strong, and he had quickly recovered.
This Six-Winged Mountain was so high it touched the clouds. Following the mountain road down, the Douluo Hall and the Pope's Hall were located on the mountain top and the mountainside respectively. Soon she arrived at the location of the Pope's Hall. This was a necessary path.
Qian Renxue looked sideways. A gaze then shot over from the second floor of the Pope's Hall. The gazes of the two met, and sparks seemed to fly in the air.
Bibi Dong sneered coldly and transmitted her voice, "Why are you so afraid? Did you go up there to complain to your grandfather?"
Qian Renxue also snorted coldly, looked around, flew up, and came directly opposite Bibi Dong on the second floor. She looked Bibi Dong up and down. She was still in her casual clothes, full of charm.
"Afraid? I think it's someone who is afraid, to still be blocking me here, secretly watching my actions. I think it's clearly you who is flustered, knowing you can't defeat me at all, which is why you watch what others do."
"Sigh~ Thinking about it, although you finally managed to get a place in Lin Feng's heart, it was by an improper path after all. The panic in your heart must be with you at all times, right? After all, you came later."
"Aiya~~ Look, this is the hairpin Lin Feng gave to me and Sister Ling Yuan. Do you have one?"
"Aiya ya~ Look, this fellow is called Little Red. It's an immortal-grade immortal herb that Lin Feng gave me, the king of flowers. Do you have one?" Qian Renxue said with an air of importance, taking out the hairpin and the Yearning Heartbroken Red together, showing them off. Looking at her, it seemed she was about to take out something else.
The atmosphere between the two instantly became tense, as if a conflict would break out at any moment.
Bibi Dong's willow-like brows furrowed slightly. She admitted that she had not spent many days with Lin Feng. Although she had also received a gift from Lin Feng, in front of the things Qian Renxue took out, she couldn't take it out.
Seeing Bibi Dong was silent, Qian Renxue spoke again:
"And look at this notebook, 'Wind and Snow'. It's been preserved for a long time~~"
"Heh~"
Bibi Dong finally spoke, her eyes sparkling with a strange color. Qian Renxue stopped her movements, quietly waiting for Bibi Dong's next words.
She saw her sandalwood mouth slightly part as she said nonchalantly, "My number of times is more than double yours. If he didn't like me more, why would he be like this?"
Qian Renxue was stunned, and after a moment of daze, she flew into a rage.
"You... what did you say!?"
This fellow, did she use Lin Feng like livestock? How long was it that she could take Lin Feng away? And it has already surpassed her, and by a lot?
Qian Renxue glared at Bibi Dong, her silver teeth clenched tightly. "You were put under an illusion and turned into a fool!"
You don't hit a person in the face, you don't expose a person's shortcomings when you curse them.
The moment Bibi Dong heard this, she became angry. She sneered coldly, "You were with him all the time, and you still let me steal him from under your nose. What use are you!"
"You... you are shameless!" Qian Renxue pointed at Bibi Dong, trembling with anger. She had never thought that Bibi Dong would be so shameless as to use such a thing to provoke her.
"I'm shameless?" Bibi Dong asked back. "I am just stating a fact. The reason Lin Feng chose to be with me was not because I am shameless, but because he likes me and needs me. This point, you should know better than I do."
Qian Renxue was choked by Bibi Dong's words and couldn't speak. She did indeed know that Lin Feng had feelings for Bibi Dong, but this did not mean she could accept her provocation.
"Hehe, you..."
Qian Renxue sneered coldly. One after another, unbearable words echoed between the two. These two peerlessly beautiful women, at this moment, were actually like shrews cursing in the street.
If not for maintaining their status, they were afraid they would have directly started fighting, you pull my hair, I pull your ear.
In a certain space outside the Pope's Hall, Gu Yuena watched this scene with great interest. Her eyes were sparkling with brilliance, filled with curiosity for this scene. She poked Lin Feng at her side. "Hey, do you still have confidence in taking them down now? What do you need me to do? Oh right, you brought me back too. This war has escalated~"
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. Who could tell him what had happened in the time he was away?
