"Am I... going to die?"
Qian Xunji lay on the bed, a bitter smile on his face.
He truly hadn't expected that simply chasing someone who wasn't even a Title Douluo would cost him so much!
He still remembered that day!
That transformed 100,000-year-old soul beast sacrificed itself for that man, who then directly rose to Title Douluo and acquired a 100,000-year soul ring.
That massive hammer, seemingly capable of shattering the sky, completely shattered his pride, and even the Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo he carried was severely injured.
That battle had truly dealt him a heavy blow, and for so many days he had desperately tried to recover... but for some reason, it had no effect whatsoever.
Knock knock!
The next moment, the door suddenly opened, and Qian Xunji coughed a few times towards the door.
"Cough cough... come in."
The door was pushed open, and a beautiful figure slowly entered the room. She had long purple hair and an exquisite face.
The woman was none other than Bibi Dong!
She was staring blankly at Qian Xunji, her hand holding a food box.
"Dong'er...you're here...please sit down,"
Qian Xunji said quickly, his eyes full of tenderness.
Since his return, Bibi Dong seemed like a different person, even bringing him food.
This was something Qian Xunji had never dared to dream of before, but now it was a reality.
"Eat, the food will get cold!"
Bibi Dong said expressionlessly.
Qian Xunji immediately agreed, struggling to get up and opening Bibi Dong's food box.
Seeing the dishes inside, which looked delicious, Qian Xunji was slightly taken aback.
After a wry smile, he said nothing and began to eat.
Half an hour later, Qian Xunji had finished all the food Bibi Dong had brought.
He put down his chopsticks and looked at Bibi Dong with a tender expression.
"Dong'er, the food you brought is delicious... Thank you."
"It's good that it's delicious. I'll bring it to you every day at the same time from now on."
Bibi Dong's expression remained indifferent as she turned to leave, but Qian Xunji suddenly waved his hand and smiled bitterly.
"No need... My time is coming to an end, there's no need for you to continue poisoning the food."
"You... you know I poison the food!"
Bibi Dong's face finally changed, and she looked at Qian Xunji in disbelief.
"Then why do you keep eating..."
"Haha... of course, it's because you brought me this food."
Qian Xunji looked sincerely into Bibi Dong's eyes and said,
"Actually, I didn't know at first...but after so many days, I felt my body getting weaker day by day.
Even if I, Qian Xunji, am stupid, I roughly know what's going on?
After all, you've been the most abnormal person lately."
"You actually brought me food on your own initiative... hahaha... I'm both happy and desperate."
"You brought me food just to poison me and kill me sooner... hahaha... how ironic!"
"Cough cough..."
Qian Xunji coughed violently again, this time coughing up a little blood.
Bibi Dong remained expressionless and silent, but Qian Xunji wiped away the blood and continued.
"You want me to die... I've always known that.
After all, I forced you back then, so it's only right that you want to kill me."
"But I want to tell you, Dong'er... I really love you, my feelings for you are real."
Qian Xunji felt that he wouldn't live much longer, so he said everything he wanted to say.
"You love me...it's laughable!
You imprisoned me to force me to have your child, and this is your way of showing love!"
Bibi Dong sneered, her face full of sarcasm.
Qian Xunji retorted with a sullen expression.
"I had no choice back then. I didn't have time to cultivate feelings for you anymore.
You are the Holy Maiden whom my Spirit Hall has nurtured with countless resources. You absolutely cannot be given to outsiders!"
"Especially that Yu Xiaogang!"
Thinking of this man, Qian Xunji's face filled with anger. He couldn't understand why Bibi Dong would fall for such a good-for-nothing.
"I investigated him before...but Yu Xiaogang is just a complete waste.
He has no talent but thinks he's extraordinary all day long. He's only with you to use you."
"Just for your status as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, he uses you to obtain the Spirit Hall's current resources to write his Spirit Hall theories...it's ridiculous."
"Shut up!"
Bibi Dong snapped, her pretty face contorted with rage.
"You're not allowed to say anything about him. There was only pure love between us… It was you, you ruined everything for me."
"You're the culprit! So what if the Spirit Hall nurtured me?
Can't I have my own freedom?"
Hearing this, Qian Xunji gave Bibi Dong a rare look of disappointment.
Gaining something means losing something else; all interests have a price tag attached.
Why couldn't Bibi Dong understand such a simple truth?
You can't have it all!
Qian Xunji no longer wanted to argue with Bibi Dong about Yu Xiaogang; neither could convince the other anyway.
"You bore me two children and continued the Qian family's bloodline… For that, I, Qian Xunji, owe you." "
So you killed me… I have no regrets.
After all, I knew that Tang Hao's attack had severely injured me, and I didn't have much time left to live.
Poisoning me only hastened my death."
A dying man's words are often kind.
Qian Xunji was remarkably magnanimous now.
He had done many things in his life, some good, some bad, and opinions about him varied.
But he had no regrets, for this was who he was, Qian Xunji.
Moreover, he now had two adorable children; if there was anything he would regret in death, it was these two children.
"Dong'er... I'm about to die, and your great revenge will soon be complete.
Please grant my last wish: bring Xiaoxue and Xiaoshang here.
I want to see them one last time."
At this moment, Qian Xunji was no longer the peerless Pope of the Spirit Hall, but simply a father longing for his children.
"I can bring Qian Renxue to see you... but not Qian Renshang."
Bibi Dong's gaze darted away upon hearing Qian Xunji's request.
"Why, you can't let Xiao Shang come to see me... No, I need to see Xiao Shang... Cough cough."
Qian Xunji instinctively felt something was wrong.
"Bibi Dong... are you hiding something from me?
What did you do to Xiao Shang?
Bring him to see me right now!"
Qian Xunji finally panicked.
"I know you don't like that Xiao Shang... maybe it's because he looks too much like me.
I also know he might not be treated well by you.
I always ask that child if you treat him well."
"If he were willing to tell me... I would definitely take him away immediately, but he just won't.
That child is too strong."
