Inside the room, only Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong, and Su Yan remained. Heavy silence filled the air. Su Yan sighed quietly, while Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue wept without making a sound.
To be completely honest, Qian Renxue had spent the entire previous night thinking about this meeting. She had planned to mock and ridicule Bibi Dong as fiercely as she could. But now that they were face to face, she could not bring herself to do it. She could not even stop her own tears from falling.
As for Bibi Dong, her heart was in total turmoil. The person she argued with the most in the Group Chat turned out to be her biological daughter. What was worse, her daughter had spent all that time calling her "Sister" online. The emotional pain was simply too much to bear.
"I'm so sorry, Little Xue," Bibi Dong sobbed, her voice trembling. "I really didn't know it was you."
Qian Renxue took a deep breath to steady herself and replied with a cold voice, "What difference does it make whether you knew or not? Weren't you two having a great time together in the second Douluo World? Why did you even bother coming back?"
Bibi Dong froze, completely speechlessly staring at her daughter. A terrible thought hit her. Did her child dislike her new stepfather?
Su Yan sighed from the side and lowered his head in shame. "Actually, this is all my fault. I'm a terrible person. I should have told the Supreme Pontiff earlier, but I just wanted to see you two fight and get along in the chat. I'm truly sorry."
He felt genuinely awful about the whole disaster. He knew he was the main culprit here. In the past, he had eagerly anticipated the look on Bibi Dong's face when Qian Renxue's true identity was revealed. But now that he was actually with Bibi Dong, he could not find anything funny about the situation at all. He carried most of the responsibility for this mess, and this painful drama was the exact karma he had created for himself.
When Qian Renxue heard Su Yan speak, her eyes burned with fury. She turned to glare at him and yelled, "You scumbag! How dare you even open your mouth here?"
Bibi Dong quickly stepped in front of Su Yan, pulling Qian Renxue back and speaking in a strict tone, "Little Xue, this is all my fault. You can't talk to your Uncle Su like that."
Qian Renxue's eyes widened in sheer disbelief.
In the chat group, messages started flashing rapidly.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: What did she just say?
Group Member No. 9: Ning Rongrong, get closer! What is the Supreme Pontiff saying in there?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Her Excellency said, 'Little Xue, this is all my fault. You cannot talk to your Uncle Su like that.'
Everyone: ???
Hu Liena: Oh my god, talk about crazy twist of fate!
Zhu Zhuqing: It's over! Her Excellency the Supreme Pontiff is completely done for this time!
Liu Erlong: I don't see any problem with that. The issue between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue shouldn't involve Su Yan, right?
Bo Saixi: Hold on, I suddenly have a very bold thought.
Tang Yuehua: Oh dear god!
Ma Xiaotao: Ancestor Ning Rongrong, I beg you, please just turn your head and take a look from afar!
Yanzi is not a Swallow: Yeah, Ning Rongrong, hurry up and turn around so we can see what's happening!
Bi Ji: You guys have been talking forever without explaining anything. What exactly is the relationship between the Orphan and Bibi Dong?
Outside the room, Ning Rongrong was overflowing with curiosity. She carefully turned her head to look inside. She saw Qian Renxue frantically searching around the room as if looking for something to use as a weapon.
Su Yan wanted to say, "Little Xue, what are you looking for? Uncle Su will help you find it." But he did not dare utter those words out loud.
"I'll kill you both!" Qian Renxue screamed in frustration after failing to find her Angelic Sacred Sword. She swung her arms in anger and lunged directly forward, aiming straight to choke Su Yan's neck.
Bibi Dong immediately moved her body to block Su Yan, shouting firmly, "Little Xue, you can't do this!"
"Get out of my way!" Qian Renxue yelled, her rage reaching a boiling point.
Bibi Dong shook her head, refusing to step aside. "No. A thousand mistakes, ten thousand mistakesâthey are all mine. But you cannot treat your Uncle Su like this."
Qian Renxue felt like she was about to explode from sheer anger. "Bibi Dong! Do you even know what kind of relationship this scumbag and I have?"
Bibi Dong was a bit slow to realize the meaning behind those words. Her heart had been aching so badly that it took her a moment to process what Qian Renxue meant. When the reality hit her, her mind went blank. Could it be that Su Yan and Qian Renxue were also involved?
Su Yan was equally stunned by Bibi Dong's defense. He thought to himself, "My dear Supreme Pontiff, how can you still protect me at a time like this? You are just detonating a bomb!"
He looked at Bibi Dong and called out, "Supreme Pontiff, please don't scold Little Xue! I really am a terrible person. Just let Little Xue hit me and yell at me so she can let her anger out!"
Qian Renxue gnashed her teeth and barked, "Su Yan, shut up!"
Bibi Dong looked back and forth between Su Yan and Qian Renxue, her voice trembling as she said, "Little Xue, please don't be like this."
"Supreme Pontiff, let Little Xue hit me!" Su Yan insisted again.
"Su Yan, I told you to shut up!" Qian Renxue snapped at him.
Bibi Dong kept her ground, saying, "Little Xue, you simply can't treat your Uncle Su like that!"
The members watching through the Group Chat were completely mind-blown by the chaotic dialogue.
Gu Yuena 1: ???
Gu Yuena 2: ???
Yanzi is not a Swallow: She protects him, he protects her, and she protects him again? What is this loop?
Group Member No. 9: Absolutely amazing.
Wang Dong: So this is Angel God Qian Renxue? She is so beautiful! I feel like only the Ruler of Soul Beasts, Gu Yuena, can compare to her.
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: At a dramatic time like this, you're still focusing on who looks prettier?
Zi Ji: Wait, Angel God Qian Renxue is Bibi Dong's daughter?
Xiao Wu: Sister Zi Ji, are you only realizing this basic fact now?
Zhang Lexuan: So this is how our Group Chat got its strange name...
Liu Erlong: Even at a moment like this, the Blind Douluo's value keeps going up. Qian Renxue really hid her identity well!
Bo Saixi: Thinking back to when the Orphan told Bibi Dong to look closely at her name, and how Bibi Dong said he deserved it, I really can't hold back my laughter.
Tang Yuehua: Who could have imagined that reality could turn out this outrageous?
Zhu Yun: Well, Zhuqing actually guessed it earlier.
Zhu Zhuqing: That's because when Su Yan and I first got together, he analyzed the background of every single Group Member with me.
Liu Erlong: They truly are the ultimate Golden Triangle!
Everyone: 666!
Back inside the room, the three of them fell into a brief, heavy silence. Qian Renxue turned her back to them, took a deep breath to calm her erratic breathing, and said coldly, "Leave! I don't want to see either of you right now!"
"Little Xue..." Bibi Dong felt an overwhelming surge of painful remorse in her heart. Tears streamed down her face as she pleaded, "I know I was wrong. I truly know I was wrong. Can we please just go home?"
"Go home?" Qian Renxue turned back around, her expression filled with pure fury. "Bibi Dong! What do you take me for? You were the one who hated me and wanted to drive me away in the past! And now, with just one simple word like 'home', you expect me to immediately forgive everything? Tell me, why on earth should I?"
Hearing those harsh, truthful words, Bibi Dong stumbled backward, nearly collapsing to the floor. Su Yan quickly moved forward and caught her before she fell.
"I'm sorry... I'm so sorry..." Bibi Dong sobbed uncontrollably. She could only repeat those words over and over again, completely flustered and broken.
Su Yan was deeply worried about her state. He gently patted Bibi Dong's back to offer some comfort and whispered softly, "Supreme Pontiff, why don't you step outside and rest for a bit? Let me talk to Little Xue alone."
Bibi Dong raised her tear-stained face to look at him. Su Yan gently wiped away the tears from her cheeks and added in a gentle tone, "Go outside and rest first."
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue with eyes full of sorrow and hesitation. She wanted to say something more, but the words stuck in her throat. In the end, she could only turn around and slowly walk out of the room.
Qian Renxue watched Bibi Dong's retreating back, and despite her best efforts, her own tears began to fall against her will. She turned her cold gaze toward Su Yan and demanded, "You scumbag, she's already left. Why haven't you left yet?"
