The streams flow silently in, and those that depart vanish without a trace.
Although Bibi Dong, sitting on the bed, had some vague feelings, she didn't intend to pay attention to them.
Apart from Qian Daoliu, there is no other person in the entire Spirit Hall who could have followed her here.
Moreover, she was well aware of Qian Daoliu's little scheme.
"A 500-year-old Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear, its effect is to increase attack power by 50%."
For Song Zhe, a system user, all sword techniques were futile.
The greatest truths are the simplest; the simplest moves are often the most powerful.
Because others can find weaknesses in your sword techniques.
If you simply thrust straight at someone, there will be no opening, and the opponent will have no choice but to either withstand the attack or dodge.
"Did Gu Yuena order it for you?"
Bibi Dong tightened her grip on Song Zhe's arm.
She was very wary of that woman.
Whether it's in terms of ability, beauty, or personality, they can rival her.
(TL: canonically in dd 1 renxue was the most beautiful woman followed by bibi dong, but in all of dd 1-5 the most beautiful woman ever was gu yuena, it's a fact lol)
"Sister Dong'er, you know Gu Yuena too?"
Song Zhe stared at Bibi Dong in surprise.
Logically speaking, Gu Yuena, Di Tian, and others did not appear at all during the first season of Douluo Continent.
Throughout the entire Douluo Continent, practically no one knows of Gu Yuena's existence.
"A rival in love, how could I not know?"
Bibi Dong chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Sometimes, being direct and honest is more effective than hiding things.
For example, Song Zhe, who knows nothing about this now, is best suited to tell the truth directly.
When he regains his memory, the truth will come out.
If she tries to deceive Song Zhe, she will only suffer the consequences.
Bibi Dong was able to grasp this point clearly.
"A love rival?"
Song Zhe was slightly taken aback.
Both Bibi Dong, the Empress of Spirit Hall, and the Silver Dragon King, the ruler of all Soul Beasts, are women of unparalleled beauty and talent.
What kind of dazzling brilliance must a man possess to make them rivals in love?
Could he be a banished immortal?
The person who was suspected to be him before his Nirvana, the owner of the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
"You said yourself before that I was your child bride, so you can't go back on your word."
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were fixed on Song Zhe.
If this little guy weren't only seven years old, she would have already taken action.
Forget about rivals in love, it's all about who makes the first move.
"I won't default on my debts, I won't default on my debts."
Song Zhe gave an awkward smile.
Just from the fact that Bibi Dong could say such things, he felt that this woman's first half of life was different from what he remembered.
It's possible that a banished immortal saved Bibi Dong, and then she wanted to repay him with her body.
But if that's the case, then how can there be the concept of a child bride?
Forget it, I can't figure it out for now, so I'll just stop thinking about it.
In the future, as he grows stronger, the truth will come out.
Whether it's regaining memories or other opportunities, the truth will eventually come out.
"So, do you think the older sister is prettier, or Gu Yuena?"
Bibi Dong had no intention of letting the topic drop.
(TL: fuck….. run)
Beautiful women always like to compete over looks, let alone rivals in love!
"You each have your own merits. You have completely different temperaments. Dong'er has an intellectual beauty, while Gu Yuena has a rational beauty. She has too many things she can't let go of in her heart."
On this point, Song Zhe was more inclined to support Bibi Dong.
The two women are indeed different in beauty, but their differences in personality and social status have already determined that they will treat each other differently.
In comparison, he now prefers Bibi Dong's personality.
"Go to sleep early, your sister will come to keep you company often in the future."
Bibi Dong's face lit up with joy.
This is probably the difference between the two women that Song Zhe mentioned.
For Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's power was nothing special; she had no ambition to contend for supremacy.
All she wants now is to become a god, gain eternal life, and be with Song Zhe forever.
She didn't want Song Zhe and Gu Yuena to both gain immortality, while she alone would slowly grow old and die.
Of course, there's a high chance she'll be taken to the realm of gods.
But she was no less capable than Bibi Dong throughout her life.
"Uh-huh."
The two quickly lay down.
Song Zhe rested his head on Bibi Dong's shoulder, wrapped his arms around her slender waist, and relaxed completely.
Having a child bride is so comfortable.
Having been single for two lifetimes, how could he resist a mature and sophisticated woman like Bibi Dong?
He simply couldn't bring himself to lay a hand on a little girl like Xiao Yan and Tang San did.
(TL: that's a shame zhuqing is the best girl of canon lol)
That's real torture!
Meanwhile, Qian Daoliu had already arrived at the Tian Dou Imperial Palace.
He regarded the Tian Dou Imperial Palace as if he were in his own backyard.
Inside the Crown Prince's temporary palace.
"Great Offering!"
The Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo stood respectfully at the door, welcoming the god-like man.
"Is Xue'er asleep?"
Qian Daoliu doesn't look very old, only in his thirties.
(TL: nah bro iirc he looks like his late 70s or 80s in the manhua)
He was dressed in plain clothes, showing no trace of the demeanor one would expect from a peerless expert.
"Young Master is handling government affairs."
Serpent Spear Douluo immediately replied.
However, their actions just now had already alerted Qian Renxue that the Grand Elder had arrived.
"Grandpa, what brings you here?"
Qian Renxue was overjoyed and dispelled her disguise.
Only in front of Qian Daoliu would she show the personality that is appropriate for her age.
"Xue'er, can't Grandpa come to see you even if there's nothing else to do?"
Qian Daoliu grabbed her hand and patted the back of Qian Renxue's hand.
He only has one granddaughter, Qian Renxue, and he's still thinking about having her go back and inherit Spirit Hall!
For now, Bibi Dong is just temporarily managing it.
But if that person posted it, the only solution is to address the root cause.
"Of course, but Grandpa is stationed at Spirit Hall and rarely leaves."
Qian Renxue pouted and said somewhat unhappily.
She was a child without parents.
Although her grandfather and senior sister doted on her, this love was not perfect.
"I followed your senior sister out this time and made a major discovery, so I came here specifically to inform you."
Qian Daoliu let out a long sigh.
He was also quite helpless about Qian Renxue, who lacked parental love since childhood!
If he hadn't been wary of Tang Chen from the Clear Sky Sect, he would have slaughtered the entire Clear Sky Sect long ago.
Tang Chen's disappearance might be due to his search for the divine inheritance.
If Tang Chen were to return one day and find that the Clear Sky Sect had been destroyed, he would definitely slaughter the entire Spirit Hall.
At that time, no one in Spirit Hall will be able to stop them.
"Grandpa, what happened that made you come in person?"
Qian Renxue's eyes narrowed as she stared intently at Qian Daoliu.
As the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu has a large number of people under his command, so why would he need to convey messages?
Unless, of course, this message is extremely important and cannot be shared with others.
"You two can leave now."
Qian Daoliu glanced at the Serpent Spear Douluo and the Porcupine Douluo.
The two immediately took their leave respectfully, as it seemed there were some things that even they, as titled Douluo, could not know.
"Grandpa, has something serious happened?"
Qian Renxue's heart tightened, and her whole body tensed up.
"The immortal has returned."
After sensing that the two had left and that no one was around, they realized that the two people had left.
Qian Daoliu took a deep breath before speaking softly.
