Chapter 299: The Origin of the Test-tube Baby

"What does that have to do with me?"

Seeing Bibi Dong's matter-of-fact expression, Qin Jian couldn't help but smack his lips, deeply feeling how difficult this woman was to deal with.

There was simply no way to bluff her...

The future really is... a long road ahead!

"Actually, I'm not planning to use kindness to threaten you; I am blatantly threatening you..."

Qin Jian laughed: "Pope, you must know that your Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring wasn't a spirit ring generated after a Soul Beast died, but one I constructed by directly using soul power to create an illusion for you to absorb. In other words, those soul powers, at their source, are still mine, so..."

Bibi Dong's hand gripping the Scepter tightened slightly; her intuition told her trouble was coming.

Sure enough, the next moment Qin Jian said: "So if I were to perform a Sacrifice and self-destruct, not only would you not get the Million-Year Soul Ring on me, but..."

He smiled and continued: "You would also lose that one and only Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring on your own body."

Bibi Dong fell silent.

The world was deathly still; all the Title Douluo were waiting for the result of their negotiation.

Neither Qian Daoliu nor Tang Hao had appeared, because even if they came out... well, it would be useless.

At this moment, if Qin Jian wanted to blow up Wuhun City, no one could stop him.

"I don't believe you would really perform a Sacrifice," Bibi Dong suddenly spoke up.

She raised her head, her perfect face shining brilliantly under the golden light: "Let's each take a step back. You don't perform a Sacrifice, and we won't kill you, but you must stay in Wuhun City and never leave for the rest of your life."

Everyone's expression changed.

"What?!"

Qin Jian pointed at himself in disbelief: "You want to keep me in Wuhun City forever? Aren't you afraid that if I get depressed and am in a bad mood, Wuhun City will explode?"

Bibi Dong's expression became indifferent: "If you don't agree, then even if it means losing this spirit ring, we will keep you here... As long as the Title Douluo suffer no losses, the Spirit Hall will not be shaken to its core."

This woman is truly... impervious to reason!

Qin Jian sucked in a breath as if he had a toothache and said helplessly: "I didn't want to use my kindness as leverage, but since you insist on doing it this way, then come on... What I originally wanted you to recall wasn't about the spirit ring, but..."

"The matter of the Test-tube Baby."

The few words he softly uttered caused Bibi Dong's expression to change drastically, her entire face turning unsightly: "How could you know about this?!"

"Because... I was a participant..."

Golden flames suddenly enveloped Qin Jian, forming a translucent golden sphere outside him and Bibi Dong, cutting off their connection to the outside world.

In this way, their conversation would not be heard by anyone else.

"Since it involves the secrets of your Spirit Hall, I don't think you'd want others to hear it," Qin Jian said, spreading his hands.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes remained fixed on him: "How on earth do you know?"

Qin Jian waved his hand and said: "You don't have to look at me like that. I'm not the despicable one; it's that beast of a teacher of yours, isn't it?"

"You really know..."

Bibi Dong's expression was dazed: "That night, besides the few of us, the only other thing that could have known was that voice that came from nowhere. Was that voice yours?"

"Who else could it be but me..."

Qin Jian smiled and said: "At the time, Qian Xunji intended to assault you. I happened to have just cultivated to a Million-Year Spirit Power that day, but because I wasn't prepared to face the Great Tribulation, I had to disperse some of my soul power..."

Speaking of the past, a look of recollection appeared in Qin Jian's eyes.

"As a flower, the only way to disperse soul power is to spread pollen. Well... the Love Flower has no physical form; when manifested, it appears as Love Mist."

"The most interesting thing that day was that I discovered my Spirit Power could attach to the Love Mist, so I had an idea..."

Qin Jian continued: "Having not seen this world for ten thousand years, I really wanted to see what it was like. So I released the Love Mist and let it drift in one direction, carrying my Spirit Power with it, and then guess what..."

Bibi Dong's stunning face twitched: "It ended up at the Spirit Hall?"

"Yes!"

Qin Jian clapped his hands: "I don't know how it was such a coincidence that I happened to run into that scoundrel Qian Xunji doing evil. I steeled my heart and poured all the potent Love Mist into his body..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

Although she had seen these things herself, she had never known where that help, which had arrived like a godsend, had come from. Only now did she understand.

So, the fact that she was able to remain chaste was thanks to the youth before her... this Million-Year Soul Beast.

"At that time, Qian Xunji's head was full of lust, and under the stimulation of my Love Mist, he turned into a beast, ready to pounce on anyone he found... As a result, before he even reached you, he encountered someone else... emmm..."

Qin Jian suddenly stopped, scratching his head with an awkward expression: "Although I saved you, I also harmed someone else. This matter was really... uh... ill-considered."

Bibi Dong's expression at this moment also became extremely strange: "You're shielding our conversation not just because of me, right? It's because you don't want Chrysanthemum Elder to know the truth?"

"Ahem..."

Qin Jian coughed dryly, his gaze sweeping over Yue Guan below, who was oblivious, before quickly pulling it back.

"That was truly a night of 'chrysanthemums ruined... the ground covered in wounds... flowers falling and hearts breaking'..."

He looked very sorrowful: "I really sympathize with him, I do."

Bibi Dong quietly rolled her eyes, not letting the people below see, but it fell right into Qin Jian's eyes.

Who could imagine how moving a scene it would be for a dignified, arrogant Female Pope to suddenly roll her eyes in such a charming way?

Qin Jian's gaze became somewhat unfocused.

Bibi Dong glanced at him, and for some reason, she felt like laughing again.

She didn't know why she couldn't help but want to laugh in front of Qin Jian.

Even if he had preserved her chastity, logically speaking, it should only be a matter of gratitude; it shouldn't be this special...

"Was it also you who transmitted the voice to me later about the Test-tube Baby?" Bibi Dong asked, blinking her beautiful eyes.

Qin Jian nodded and said: "It was just a coincidence that I stopped Qian Xunji's act of incest once, but I couldn't keep watching him forever. What he coveted about you wasn't just your body; more importantly, he wanted you to stay in the Spirit Hall forever, and he also needed an exceptionally talented successor."

Bibi Dong couldn't help but think of that "daughter," and a flash of disgust couldn't help but cross her eyes...

"At that time, I thought that as long as I explained my feelings, I could leave the Spirit Hall and fly away with Xiaogang. Facts proved that I was too naive."

Her gaze swept over Grandmaster below, flickering for a brief moment, but it returned to complete calm the very next instant.

That bit of a past with Grandmaster, which didn't even involve a touch, simply could not compare to what she had encountered in her Ten-Thousand-Year Love Tribulation.

Therefore, after she had finally managed to break free from the illusion, her memories of Grandmaster had already become incredibly thin, her mind entirely filled with that fabricated object of affection.

Wait!

Object... of affection...

Bibi Dong suddenly raised her head to look at Qin Jian, her gaze like a sword: "Was the Illusion Love Tribulation you constructed back then truly my own imagination, or was it a world you set up?"
