Chapter 539: Watching You Bicker With My Daughter

"Does the Star Dou Great Forest not welcome me, or is it that you don't welcome me?"

No matter who she faced, Bibi Dong had never felt intimidated.

But the little Rabbit, five years later, was both aloof and fiercely cute, and had long since found Bibi Dong an eyesore.

It was supposed to be a reunion belonging to her and her brother, yet she had to watch this Pope go on and on, hogging her dear brother and refusing to let go.

She really, really missed her brother, okay...

"I don't welcome you, and therefore, the Star Dou Great Forest doesn't welcome you either."

Her ethereal voice was very pleasant, and Qin Jian liked it very much.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong did not.

Especially her little forest goddess appearance, which made Bibi Dong want to tear it to shreds; using a Spider Leg to scratch her face a few times would surely be interesting...

"Little Rabbit, are you the one who calls the shots in the Star Dou Great Forest?"

Bibi Dong curled her red lips: "Qin Jian hasn't even spoken yet!"

Qin Jian's scalp went numb.

The Pope is not being kind; what is the meaning of dragging me into this...

"Brother!"

Xiao Wu's eyes looked over: "Can you make this woman leave our home?"

"Qin Jian, may I be a guest at your home?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes also looked over.

Sweat broke out on Qin Jian's forehead, as if he were being roasted on a fire.

"Crunch."

Suddenly, a strange sound came from the tree behind him.

Qin Jian looked back and saw his Aunt Da Wu sitting on a tree branch, crunching away at a melon.

Qin Jian's head was full of question marks.

How exactly did this melon-eating tradition spread to the Star Dou Great Forest? How did even Aunt Da Wu start eating one?

He hurriedly glanced at Er Ming.

Thank goodness, no melon that big...

Eh? Wait, Da Ming, what are you doing? Is your water-type ability meant for making ice melons? Have you been possessed by Bing'er?

Qin Jian's forehead was covered in black lines.

Is this "melon-eating crowd" really going to follow me for a lifetime? It's spreading faster than a pandemic...

"Actually, I'm not the one who calls the shots in our home either..."

He decisively kicked the ball away, pointing directly at Da Wu: "Aunt Da Wu is the one in charge; she makes the decisions."

"Huh?"

A large question mark seemed to light up above his Aunt Da Wu's head.

"Actually, I think this show is quite good; I can keep watching," she said leisurely, leaning against the tree trunk.

"Mom!"

Xiao Wu wished she could hit her mother with an Eight-Stage Throw.

Is this really my own mother?

"Oh? You..."

Bibi Dong's expression tightened: "Was it because I hunted you back then that Qin Jian sent me into the Ten Thousand Year Illusion Love Tribulation?"

"What? Do you intend to apologize to me?"

Da Wu tilted her head, looking as if she held no grudges.

"I thought you would want to take revenge on me; after all, I forced you back into your original form, and you couldn't recover for many years, right?"

Bibi Dong also felt very curious about Da Wu's current attitude.

"Not to mention whether I can beat you or not, but compared to taking revenge on you..."

Da Wu sat on the tree, cupping her chin with a smile: "It's more interesting to watch you get tangled up in the pile of women around my little Xiao Qing. Watching you compete for favor with my daughter, this feeling... sigh... it's like watching the younger generation..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

Suddenly, she felt a bit listless; it really was quite boring for her, a dignified Pope, to be competing for favor with a little Rabbit here.

If she really wanted Qin Jian to belong only to her, such bickering wouldn't be useful; it would only make people laugh at her...

"I won't disturb your rest at home. After I return, I will keep an eye on Qian Daoliu and won't give him another chance to attack you," she said, looking at Qin Jian.

Qin Jian grabbed her hand and said with some worry: "Will he do anything to you?"

Bibi Dong looked at his hand holding hers, her expression softening: "He won't, don't worry. If something happens to me, there will be no one left to help his grand... hmm... help his grandson conquer the world. This is the reason he can still tolerate me sitting on the Pope's throne; fear of my strength is only secondary."

"Didn't you also make it clear that the Saintess is Nana and that the Pope's position will be passed to her?" Qin Jian asked.

Bibi Dong shook her head and said: "Because the Elder Hall has always possessed almost all the Title Douluo of the Spirit Hall, they aren't worried about anything at all. By the time they realize they can't keep me in check, it will be too late. However, I can also guess why Qian Daoliu doesn't want to fight to the death even now... he probably still harbors fantasies..."

She narrowed her eyes and said: "Because if I insist on passing the position to Nana, the Spirit Hall will surely split apart, but if I pass it to Xue Qinghe, not only would the Elder Hall no longer be a constraint, but I, as a mother, might even be able to accept it."

"Then what do you think?" Qin Jian asked curiously.

"I haven't thought about it at all..."

Bibi Dong smoothed her hair and said: "I don't think I'll be passing on the position anytime soon. As for the future, we'll talk about it later. Perhaps..."

"Perhaps what?" Qin Jian asked.

Bibi Dong chuckled and shook her head.

Perhaps I might even give the Pope's position to you, who knows...

"When you've rested well, before you go to the Heaven Dou Empire, don't forget... to come back and see me."

She leaned gently against Qin Jian, her hair emitting a faint, pleasant fragrance.

"Swish..."

Qin Jian had not yet had enough of holding her, but the beauty in his arms flashed away, soaring straight into the high sky and departing toward the horizon at high Speed.

For a moment, he felt a sense of loss.

"Brother, was it comfortable to hold?"

Xiao Wu's faint voice sounded beside him, and Qin Jian turned around and pulled her into his arms, wrapping them around her: "Xiao Wu, I missed you so much."

Xiao Wu, who had just been full of complaints and looking fiercely cute, had her rabbit ears droop instantly.

She buried her whole self in Qin Jian's embrace, her rabbit head becoming dizzy.

"Xiao Wu... when he saw me... he said that sentence too..." Zhu Zhuqing said softly, her little cat claws twitching.

Qin Jian... froze.

Xiao Wu wanted to let go, but she couldn't bear to, and in the end, she just bit him on the neck in a fiercely cute way: "Stinky brother!"

"Zhuqing, why don't I send you to the Star Luo Empire first..." Qin Jian said faintly.

The little kitten's eyes stood up instantly: "You want to send me away?! You want to have a world for two with Xiao Wu?!"

"No, I didn't think about a world for two..."

Qin Jian hurriedly shook his head: "It's to strike while the iron is hot, to settle everything before the Star Luo Empire is prepared."

It really isn't a world for two, neither of us are human...

"Brother, are you leaving?"

Xiao Wu raised her head.

Qin Jian shook his head again: "Once the matter of the Star Luo Empire is resolved, I will come back."

"So you're still sending me to the Star Luo Empire, and then you're leaving?" Zhu Zhuqing said immediately.

"No, I will help you establish yourself." Qin Jian continued to shake his head.

"Then you helping Zhuqing establish herself means you're going to abandon me for a long time again?" Xiao Wu said.

"I..."

"I damn well..."

Qin Jian put his hands on his hips and roared at the sky: "This life is impossible to live!"

"Ho ho ho..."

A heaven-shaking laugh rang out, and Qin Jian immediately narrowed his eyes and looked over: "Er Ming, you find this very funny, don't you?"

"No, no, no..."

Er Ming immediately covered his mouth with his hand, shaking his head so hard that he even stirred up a gale.

"Crack!"

A thunder-like sound rang out from the other side, and Qin Jian looked over to see Da Ming's massive head taking a bite out of a mountain-like ice melon, the kind that goes crunch.

Qin Jian: "..."
