Chapter 44: 'The Secret Chamber Douluo'?! Yu Xiaogang's 'delusion,' Bibi Dong is pregnant?!
Qian Xunji's hysterical roar at Qian Daoliu in the secret chamber was transmitted word for word across the entire continent through the celestial screen.
The image of a "gentle and loving father" and "perfect mentor" previously created by the celestial screen shattered like fragile glass at this moment, revealing his true face of obsession, madness, and controlling desire.
Public opinion instantly reversed!
"My God... So Pope Qian Xunji is this kind of person?"
"Treats her as his own daughter?
I think he treats her as his private property!
In his eyes, Pope Bibi Dong is not a disciple or daughter at all, but a work of art that he has carefully sculpted and will not allow anyone else to touch!"
"Just because his disciple fell in love with someone else, he feels betrayed?
This possessiveness is too terrifying!"
"Listen to his words, 'I will never allow my most perfect work to be touched by a piece of trash'...
This is not a teacher, this is clearly..."
An uproar arose throughout the continent.
The slight goodwill they previously held towards the Spirit Hall and Qian Xunji vanished, replaced by deep disgust and a trace of fear.
Especially when they thought of Bibi Dong's current ruthless and cold-blooded demeanor, seemingly filled with hatred for the world, a terrifying thought arose in many people's minds:
Was her current state related to Qian Xunji's twisted "cultivation"? —Heaven Dou Empire, Heaven Dou City, Crown Prince's Eastern Palace.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, was as pale as paper. Her body swayed almost imperceptibly, and she instinctively grabbed the window frame to steady herself.
Her golden eyes, inherited from the Angel family, were filled with disbelief, shock, and...collapse.
All along, her understanding of her origins had been shrouded in mystery.
Her father, Qian Xunji, was a heroic pope who died young, sacrificing himself for the Spirit Hall.
Her mother, Bibi Dong, was a powerful and unfamiliar figure, cold and even hateful towards her.
She diligently played the role of Xue Qinghe, plotting her coup, while secretly harboring a hidden desire deep within.
Perhaps when she rendered unparalleled service to the Spirit Hall, offering up the entire Heaven Dou Empire, her cold mother would see her differently, would…accept her.
However, Qian Xunji's crazed words in the sky were like a cold chisel, shattering all her illusions and attachments.
"Treating her as his own…his own daughter…"
Qian Renxue murmured these words repeatedly in her heart, a bitter smile curving her lips.
If her father truly loved her mother as a daughter, then why did her mother hate him so much?
Hating him to the point of loathing her, who shared his blood?
A chilling thought, like a poisonous vine, coiled around her heart.
Could there be more to her father's death than meets the eye?
Perhaps… it's related to her mother?
Once this thought arose, it could no longer be suppressed.
She felt the belief that had sustained her all along was quietly shattering.
Her complex and stubborn longing for her mother plummeted to the depths of despair at this moment.
ShrekAcademy.
Yu Xiaogang stared intently at the sky, his chest heaving violently, his breathing heavy and labored.
He heard Qian Xunji describe him—"a piece of trash in the mud," "that piece of trash from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan who can't even control his own martial soul."
These harsh words lashed at his already shattered pride like whips.
Although reason told him that from Qian Xunji's perspective, this "trash" had stolen the saintess he had carefully nurtured, and the other party's anger was understandable.
But emotionally, Yu Xiaogang absolutely refused to admit it!
He vented all his anger and humiliation on Qian Xunji and the Spirit Hall.
"Hypocritical! Utterly hypocritical!"
Yu Xiaogang roared, his eyes bloodshot.
"I knew it!
From top to bottom, from Qian Xunji to every single Soul Master in the Spirit Hall, they are all so hypocritical and utterly deceitful!"
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have found yet another piece of evidence to prove his theory was correct.
Look, how filthy and despicable these so-called strongmen, these high-ranking figures, are inside!
At the same time, a question that had been suppressed in his heart for decades finally found a seemingly reasonable outlet.
"So that's how it is… so that's why…"
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were glazed, filled with regret and understanding.
"Dong'er suddenly became so resolute back then, avoiding me, even saying those hurtful things… was it all because of Qian Xunji's obstruction and coercion?"
Yu Xiaogang automatically ignored the other pressures Bibi Dong might have faced and his own powerlessness at the time.
He attributed all the blame to Qian Xunji's obstruction.
This thought slightly lessened his inner pain, replaced by a deeper hatred for the Spirit Hall.
And... a rekindled, unrealistic fantasy.
If, if Qian Xunji hadn't existed, would he and Dong'er have had a different ending?
The scene above the sky, after Qian Xunji's roar revealing his true nature, didn't give the people of the continent much time to catch their breath or process the shock.
Golden light surged again, and the scene abruptly shifted, cutting to a dark and oppressive place.
It was a magnificent yet cold secret chamber, without windows, only the dim light of soul-guiding lamps emanating from it.
Runes that isolated auras were engraved on the walls, completely isolating this place from the outside world.
In the center of the scene, a woman dressed in a plain white nightgown sat curled up on a large bed; it was Bibi Dong.
However, at this moment, she was completely different from the lively and bright saintess in the previous scene.
Her face was pale, her lips cracked, and her once bright purple eyes had lost all their luster, leaving only a deathly grayness and deep-seated resentment.
Her hands instinctively protected her lower abdomen, but the gesture wasn't one of care; it was one of resistance and disgust.
"This bastard…this bastard…"
Bibi Dong murmured, her voice hoarse, filled with endless pain and self-loathing.
Her eyes were sometimes vacant, sometimes flashing with a crazed glint, occasionally landing on the hard corner of the table or the wall in the room—a look that seemed to want to…
[Shortly after Qian Xunji discovered her relationship with Yu Xiaogang, during a so-called "comforting" and "heart-to-heart talk," her beloved teacher used drugs to seal her soul power, imprisoning her here.
The nurturing she had poured her heart and soul into had now become the most impenetrable cage.And then, an even deeper nightmare descended…]
The narration coldly revealed the scene, offering no details, but the subtle ambiguity, combined with Bibi Dong's current state, was enough to send chills down the spines of all viewers, instantly conveying the utter despair she had endured.
"Get out! All of you, get out!"
