Su Yan did not say a word. He stepped forward and gently wiped away Qian Renxue's tears with his hand. This simple gesture made Qian Renxue feel even more wronged inside. She pouted her lips, looked at him with tear-filled eyes, and hit his arm softly.
"You bastard, why are you using the same hand you just used to wipe her tears to wipe mine?" she cried out, her voice full of grief. "Couldn't you have used the other hand?"
Su Yan gently wiped the fresh tears from Qian Renxue's soft face and replied in a very soft, soothing tone. "No. When I wiped her tears just now, I used the back of my hand. Right now, I am using my palm for you."
The Little Angel was clearly stunned for a moment after hearing his explanation. At first, she did not fully understand what he was trying to say. But when she finally realized what he meant, she almost exploded with anger. Her face turned red with frustration as she stared at him in disbelief.
"You..." Qian Renxue stammered, her voice shaking with rage. "You complete bastard! Are you trying to tell me that whether it is the palm or the back of the hand, it is still all the same flesh?"
The Little Angel was incredibly angry. She clenched her small fists tightly and started to pound heavily on Su Yan's broad chest.
"You bastard... you absolute bastard..." she kept repeating through her heavy sobs.
Su Yan did not back away. Instead, he reached out his strong arms and pulled Qian Renxue directly into his warm embrace, holding her firmly against his chest.
"Let me go..." Qian Renxue protested weakly.
The Little Angel was still struggling to break free from his hold, but Su Yan certainly would not let her go at a critical moment like this. After letting her struggle a couple of times without any real force, her resistance faded away completely. Eventually, she began to sob softly, burying her face inside his arms.
Su Yan gave a slight, subtle wave of his hand toward the doorway. Driven by his invisible power, the heavy wooden door closed with a firm snap.
Everyone watching the live stream in the chat group was instantly left speechless.
Outside the quiet room, the expressions on the faces of Ning Rongrong and the others also became quite complicated. Looking at Bibi Dong's tear-stained face as she stood nearby, they all felt a bit awkward and hesitated to speak out loud.
Tang Ya took a small step forward, pulled out a clean handkerchief from her pocket, and offered it to Bibi Dong. "Teacher, please use this."
Ning Rongrong also called out in a soft, comforting voice. "Supreme Pontiff Sister, Brother Su Yan is inside with her now. He should be able to coax Qian Renxue back to normal soon, so please don't worry too much."
Bibi Dong took a deep breath to steady her emotions. She looked at the young people around her and said in a cold, tired voice, "If you want to go out or stay here, just listen to Porcupinefish Douluo's arrangements. I am going outside for some fresh air."
After speaking those few words, Bibi Dong put her golden mask back over her face and flew up into the sky, disappearing into the distance in a flash of bright light.
Only after she had completely vanished did the Three-Eyed Golden Lion finally tilt her head in confusion. She looked at Ning Rongrong with her big eyes and asked, "Little Princess, why were both Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue crying so hard just now?"
Ning Rongrong felt somewhat helpless after hearing the innocent question. She patted the lion's head and said softly, "Don't ask such difficult questions right now, child. Come on, let us go out for a stroll too!"
Right after speaking, Ning Rongrong suddenly realized something important. She turned her gaze toward Porcupinefish Douluo, who was standing not too far away like a silent bodyguard. She thought to herself with a sudden realization: Isn't this place actually Brother Xue Qinghe's Crown Prince Mansion?
In the Group Chat interface, messages were scrolling rapidly.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: What did Su Yan and Qian Renxue say in the room just now after the door closed?
Group Member No. 9: Their voices were way too low, so the sound did not come through the stream at all. Rongrong, did you manage to hear anything with your own ears?
"No, I didn't hear a single thing," Ning Rongrong shook her head and replied aloud to the chat group.
At this time, the naive Three-Eyed Golden Lion suddenly spoke up nearby. "Qian Renxue said... mmm?"
Just as the lion was about to spill the secrets she had overheard, Ning Rongrong directly reached out her hand and covered the creature's mouth completely. "So only your ears are sharp enough to hear through the heavy wooden door, huh?"
"Ow?" The Three-Eyed Golden Lion blinked her big golden eyes in pure confusion, totally unaware of what she had done wrong.
Ning Rongrong closed the Group Chat live stream.
Wang Dong: Hey! Is there no more exciting gossip for us to eat today?
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: The Little Princess won't let me talk anymore, so I can't tell you guys what they said in the room, ow!
Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: So are Brother Su Yan and Qian Renxue completely fine now? Did they manage to resolve their misunderstanding?
Bo Saixi: Bibi Dong, oh Bibi Dong, we really won't tease you about this matter today. I truly hope your relationship with your daughter gets repaired soon!
Liu Erlong: Old Woman, oh Old Woman, you were so incredibly wrong about everything. But remember this carefully: I am not laughing at you today only because of Qian Renxue's presence!
Ma Xiaotao: What did you just say? Are you implying that you still want to laugh at Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff on any other given day?
Ma Xiaotao: You had better not laugh today, and you had better not laugh tomorrow either! In fact, you had better run away right now! Ancestor Erlong, please run away as fast as you can!
Everyone in the chat sent a series of question marks.
Over at the Blue Tyrant Academy in Heaven Dou City, Liu Erlong was sitting in her peaceful yard. Seeing Ma Xiaotao's frantic warning messages in the chat, she felt somewhat speechless and shook her head with a light chuckle.
Run away? Where could she possibly run to? If she ran away right now, what would she do if Su Yan came looking for her later? Compared to the terrifying possibility of being beaten up by an angry Bibi Dong, she would much rather stay put and not lose her precious chance to meet Su Yan again.
Liu Erlong typed back into the chat: Look at you, why are you getting so anxious again? The Old Woman's mood is completely ruined right now. Before she reconciles with Qian Renxue, how could she possibly have the heart or energy to come to Heaven Dou City specifically to hunt me down?
Liu Erlong was not panicked at all. At this exact moment, she was even humming a cheerful little tune outside her quiet wooden house. She held a small watering can in her hand, carefully tending to the various colourful flowers she had recently planted in the garden soil.
Today's gossip in the group chat was truly delicious! Who could have ever thought that things would turn out like this?
The famous member named I Am an Orphan turned out to be none other than the Old Woman's biological daughter, Qian Renxue! These two mothers and daughters had been loving each other and fighting each other savagely in the Group Chat for such a long time without even realizing it!
The Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall was truly a Blind Douluo! She did not even recognize her very own daughter when she was right in front of her eyes online. Once this major crisis passed, Liu Erlong decided that she must have a good, long laugh at Bibi Dong's expense.
"La la la..." Liu Erlong sang softly to herself as she tilted the watering can over the green leaves. "My lovely flowers, please grow up quickly..."
"Old Woman, oh Old Woman, I really didn't expect that even at a dramatic time like this, the value of your legendary title as the Blind Douluo is still rising steadily!" she muttered with a bright smile on her face. "Hehehe! I won't laugh at you today out of respect for your tears. But after all this mess is over, I will definitely mock you mercilessly and crown you as the ultimate Blind God King... Bibi Dong?"
While Liu Erlong was muttering happily to herself and watering her floral garden, she suddenly felt a cold breeze blow past her skin. She looked up casually, only to see a imposing figure in a magnificent outfit appearing out of nowhere right in front of her.
Clang!
The metal watering can fell straight out of her hand and crashed heavily onto the garden stone path. This sudden sight scared Liu Erlong so much that her legs went soft, and she sat directly on the hard ground. Her eyes were filled with absolute shock and utter disbelief as she stared at the person before her.
"Impossible!" Liu Erlong screamed internally, her voice trembling within her mind. "This is absolutely impossible!"
Meanwhile, back in the active chat group, messages were still flowing continuously.
Bo Saixi: Yes, although Bibi Dong said she was going outside for a stroll, she definitely won't fly too far away. She will surely stay nearby for the time being.
Bai Chenxiang: Then do you think I should continue my journey to Suotuo City, or should I just ask where Su Yan and the others are and go find them directly?
Ma Xiaotao: Ancestor, please go directly to Heaven Dou City!
Bai Chenxiang: Heaven Dou City?
Tang Yuehua: What did you just say? Are you trying to tell us that Su Yan, Bibi Dong, and the rest of the group are currently in Heaven Dou City right now?
Tang Yuehua: Erlong, run away immediately!
Bo Saixi: Erlong, run fast!
Bo Saixi: Although Bibi Dong won't specifically travel all the way to Heaven Dou City just to beat you up, if she is already inside Heaven Dou City itself, finding your location is merely a matter of convenient timing!
Ning Rongrong: Run as fast as your legs can carry you!
Liu Erlong uploaded a high-definition image to the group chat showing Bibi Dong slowly taking off her golden mask with a icy, cold glare in her dark eyes.
Everyone in the chat sent a long stream of question marks once again.
Yanzi is not a Swallow: Hahaha! This is way too funny!
Group Member No. 9: It's completely over for her!
I Am a Little Bird: Erlong, is there any special food or clothes that you like to use? Tell me now so I can burn them for your soul later!
Gu Yuena 2: Is she really going to die?
Wang Dong: Did Bibi Dong really move that fast?
Xiao Wu: Liu Erlong, you bad woman, you are completely finished today!
Ma Xiaotao: My poor Ancestor Erlong, why didn't you just turn around and run away the moment I warned you earlier? Her Holiness the Supreme Pontiff is also a member of this chat group; did I really have to make my warning that obvious to everyone?
Ling Luochen: So what on earth should we do now?
Group Member No. 9: Let us make it a grand event for everyone! I will be responsible for collecting the gift money from all members. Everyone please give me 200 gold coins each, and we can all enjoy a nice funeral feast together!
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: Little Princess, quick, please lend me 200 gold coins right now! I really want to go to the funeral feast to eat tasty food, ow!
Gu Yuena 1: Can we still attend the funeral feast if we don't have any money on us?
Looking at all the crazy text messages popping up inside the group chat screen, Liu Erlong felt as if the entire blue sky was collapsing directly onto her head.
It really was true! The person standing silently in her garden right now was indeed the Supreme Pontiff, Bibi Dong! She had appeared before her so silently, so suddenly, and so naturally, as if she had been standing there the whole time!
She was completely finished!
"Sitting up startled from a terminal illness, it turns out that the stupid clown was actually me all along?" Liu Erlong thought bitterly to herself.
She gritted her teeth in desperation and struggled with all her strength to stand up from the dirt floor. Facing the cold, majestic aura of the Supreme Pontiff, she put on a serious face, lowered her head, and said in a small, polite voice:
"Bibi Dong, I only have one humble request for you today... please, just don't hit my face!"
