The person who came was a young girl.
She was tall and slender with snow-white skin. She wore an elegant white dress, and her long golden hair, like silk, shone brightly in the morning light. Her delicate face bore a resemblance to Bibi Dong, but she lacked some of the alluring charm. Instead, she possessed the unique innocence and purity of a young girl.
Su Chen recognized her not only because of the familiar scent, but also because of her eyes, which were almost identical to Bibi Dong's.
Qian Renxue's golden eyes were filled with indifference.
It was a coldness that seemed to show utter indifference to everything, even more so than His Holiness the Pope.
And so is his personality.
If Bibi Dong was a naive and innocent girl before she turned evil, and only became cruel after turning evil, then Qian Renxue was born with an indifferent personality.
After all, this was a ruthless person who infiltrated the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace at the age of nine to replace the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe, and poisoned the second prince of Heavenly Dou at the age of fourteen.
His talent is unprecedented and unparalleled. He was born with full soul power at level 20 and absorbed a 100,000-year-old soul bone at the age of nine.
Even Su Chen couldn't help but admire this aspect.
Yet, this person, who has been decisive, calm, rational, and exceptionally talented since childhood, still began to lose his intelligence and become love-struck after meeting Tang Shenwang. Su Chen didn't believe there wasn't something fishy going on.
Qianrenxue was like this, and so was Bibi Dong.
The defeat was inexplicable.
Whether the lineage of the angel god and the rakshasa god is a blessing or a premeditated constraint is hard to say.
Anyway, Su Chen felt that it wouldn't be that difficult for these two to become gods through self-cultivation.
However, it would be unwise to make contact with the divine realm at this stage; we should proceed with caution.
Su Chen suppressed his thoughts, his gaze lingering for a moment on the girl's delicate face before stepping aside to make way for her.
A fragrant breeze wafted by, and in the boy's thoughts, the two brushed past each other.
Just as they were about to completely separate, Su Chen seemed to vaguely sense that pair of golden eyes suddenly looked at him.
Fortunately, the feeling of being stared at disappeared after a short while.
Shaking his head, Su Chen suddenly became curious.
At this point in time, Qian Renxue should be at the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace. Her early return is probably to report to Bibi Dong.
That's what he thought.
When you have time, you should subtly ask Bibi Dong about it, since she also has plans for the Heaven Dou Empire.
If Qian Renxue's position in the Heavenly Dou is stable, she will definitely play a crucial role.
In his view, stealing the country by eliminating the royal family was both stupid and a waste of time.
No wonder it ultimately failed.
With that status and time, monopolizing or controlling resources—either way—one can take control of the country without bloodshed or by doing anything else.
Twenty years is enough time to replace all the key political figures with their own people, control the economic lifeline and military power, and secretly guide public opinion. At that time, without them even lifting a finger, the royal family will naturally perish.
Ultimately, strength is the most important factor. As long as you have the strength, everything else is negotiable.
"Forget it, let's get some rest today. Once we have a lab, we can easily pull out some ninjutsu that are currently usable."
The boy stretched and thought to himself.
There's a ninjutsu technique he's been craving for a long time.
After all, that was Su Chen's signature ninjutsu.
In the Pope's private garden.
Bibi Dong sat quietly in the garden, her jade arm supporting her chin, her beautiful eyes fixed on the flower that was Su Chen's substitute in the vase, her mind filled with countless thoughts.
After the filter shattered and collapsed, many things that I couldn't understand before suddenly became clear.
For example, the biggest reason why Yu Xiaogang was able to rise to fame in the martial spirit world was because of himself, wasn't it?
The greatest beneficiary of the Ten Theories, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
Is there anything more sensational than this?
For example, even though Yu Xiaogang seamlessly transitioned to the next role, how could she still believe that he loved her?
When he was at his most helpless, he was probably having a lot of fun with his cousin.
How ridiculous!
His Holiness the Pope's eyelashes trembled, and a fleeting, crystalline tear glistened.
Fortunately, I have the little one; otherwise, how long would I have to grieve for that ignorant, incompetent, pitiful, and pathetic person?
The thought of the silver-haired boy's helpless expression as he tried to get close to her made Bibi Dong feel much better.
"Hmm, it seems I need to have the little guy give me a check-up."
This wasn't meant to tease him, but rather because His Holiness the Pope realized that most of his spirit rings were absorbed based on Yu Xiaogang's so-called theories.
Although I sensed some problems at the time, I subconsciously ignored them because of my fondness for Yu Xiaogang.
Now it seems that those spirit rings might not be suitable for me. If there are any problems, it will be better to deal with them in advance.
Of course, it would be even better if you could see the little guy looking embarrassed.
Thinking of this, His Holiness the Pope smiled with considerable pleasure.
"Your Holiness the Pope."
Just as Bibi Dong was fantasizing about how she would tease Su Chen, an incredulous voice suddenly came from the doorway.
Bibi Dong looked up in a fluster and saw a blonde girl standing at the garden gate, staring at her with a look of astonishment on her pretty face.
At this moment, Qian Renxue felt as if her worldview was collapsing.
From birth, she had never seen a smile on the face of this woman who was her mother but in reality her enemy; all she saw was disgust, hatred, and endless gloom and despair.
Qian Renxue had tried many things for this, but it wasn't until her father's death that she truly understood.
The two can never have a normal mother-daughter relationship; their relationship as superiors and subordinates who exploit each other is the limit.
But now...
What did she see?
Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, is actually showing such a gentle and beautiful smile at this moment?
It was a breathtaking sight that she had never seen before, that her deceased father had never seen before, and that her grandfather had never seen before.
Her ultimate charm radiates without reservation; her beauty is beyond compare.
Even though Qian Renxue was naturally aloof, she couldn't help but blush slightly and feel her heart pounding at this moment.
"You know you can't just leave Heaven Dou City now, right?"
But then, the cold, incomparable voice pulled the girl back to reality. Looking again, Bibi Dong had already returned to her indifferent expression.
It was as if everything that had just happened was a beautiful illusion of the young girl.
Qian Renxue felt a little breathless.
Just a moment later, she adjusted her state and resumed the indifferent expression that was exactly the same as the person in the distance.
"The Second Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire will disappear within three years. Who will be his next target?"
Qian Renxue spoke without any emotion, casually deciding the fate of one of the most esteemed figures in the country.
"If you're here just because of this, then I'm very disappointed in you."
His wine-red eyes coldly stared at the blonde girl before him. "Third Prince, Fourth Prince, anyone who could threaten you into that position, don't let them get away. Also, poisoning can only be used once more at most."
"Okay, I understand."
"Alright, you can go now. Remember, don't let the Heavenly Dou Royal Family find out anything, otherwise it will affect the plan, and you know the consequences yourself."
His Holiness the Pope waved his hand and stopped looking at her, turning his attention to the ordinary-looking flower.
A gentle smile returned to her lips.
Qian Renxue wanted to turn around and leave, but seeing this scene, she stopped in her tracks.
The girl's forced calm was instantly stirred, and then, a monstrous wave surged forth.
There was surprise, disbelief, and a hint of jealousy that she herself was unaware of.
For some reason, the image of the silver-haired boy she had just met suddenly came to mind.
The latter's aura was so powerful, and her attitude towards him was so cold, that she didn't seem like a child at all, which made her take another look at him.
Looking back now, it seems like he came from here.
Could it be that Bibi Dong's current strange state is related to him?
