Chapter 1: The Three-Legged Golden Crow Takes Human Form, Taken Home by Bibi Dong

The Spirit Hall, secret chamber.

On the warm, large bed, Qian Renxue, with her long pale-gold hair, skin so fair it was almost translucent, and a small, straight nose, was currently resting her cheek on one hand while poking an infant less than fifty centimeters tall on the bed with the other.

There were two other people in the room.

One was the Pope of the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, standing in the center clad in glorious full armor, and the other was Bibi Dong, sitting upright on the edge of the bed in her pajamas.

Looking down from above, Qian Xunji said to Bibi Dong, "Your soul power should already be at level 81, right? This is a 100,000-year Transformed Soul Beast that failed its tribulation, which I accidentally captured in the Star Dou Great Forest; it will serve perfectly as your Ninth Soul Ring."

"Furthermore, I also discovered traces of a 100,000-year Purple-Winged Spider Emperor at the beast's tribulation site. Now that little Xue is just three years old, as long as you behave yourself before she awakens her martial soul at age six, I can give you any resources you want."

"If you cause any more trouble, don't blame me for not considering our past relationship and being ruthless!"

Having said that!

Qian Xunji narrowed his eyes, cast a cold, disdainful glance at the venomous-looking Bibi Dong, and swept out of the room.

Hearing the sounds from outside.

Su Linfeng woke up from his stupor, and the first thing that met his eyes was Qian Renxue's face, which was as exquisite as a doll's.

Qian Renxue?

It's over!

As his memories returned, Su Linfeng couldn't help but cry out in his heart.

He had transmigrated into a Three-Legged Golden Crow soul beast, and with the mindset of "since I'm here, I might as well make the best of it," he had finally managed to survive the once-in-a-hundred-thousand-year tribulation. Just as he was about to step into the next hundred-thousand-year threshold, he was struck down by a slash of red blood-Qi.

If he hadn't relied on the Three-Legged Golden Crow's Immortal Body to dissipate his aura and take human form, he would likely have been obliterated, body and soul, just like other powerful soul beasts!

Su Linfeng had originally thought that at worst, he could start over, but he hadn't expected to fall into the hands of the Spirit Hall.

This was the rhythm of becoming a soul ring!

He originally wanted to speak, but he only managed to let out a series of babbling sounds.

Damn it!

Transformed into an infant?

Su Linfeng was completely stunned! He thought to himself that now he didn't even have the ability to resist; he had become fish on a chopping block, waiting to be slaughtered.

"Mommy, he seems to be awake."

Qian Renxue's eyes lit up, a faint smile crossed her little face, and she curiously poked Su Linfeng's body, "And he seems a bit different from me here."

Damn it!

Little Qian Renxue, you... what are you doing!

Be gentle with your hands!

Su Linfeng's rear end tightened involuntarily. He wanted to cry out to warn her, but to his surprise, as soon as he opened his mouth, he started crying.

Wait?

What mommy?!

Could it be... Bibi Dong!!!

Sure enough, as Su Linfeng twisted his body, the familiar back of the person at the bedside came into view again.

A deep purple silk pajama covered her body, embroidered with golden patterns that highlighted Bibi Dong's slender waist and long figure. The back was hollowed out, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin, the fairness of which formed a sharp contrast with the dark pajamas.

Bibi Dong turned her head to look at Su Linfeng, her sharp gaze carrying an inherent pressure. The looseness of her pajamas contrasted with the coldness in her eyes, possessing both the softness of a woman and an implied complexity of character.

Hearing the crying, Bibi Dong finally turned to look at Su Linfeng, and the venom she had just felt toward Qian Xunji gradually cleared from her eyes.

As their eyes met, Su Linfeng's mind raced.

Reviewing Bibi Dong's life.

At eighteen, she met Yu Xiaogang.

At nineteen, she was violated by her master, Qian Xunji.

At twenty, she gave birth to Qian Renxue.

At thirty, she obtained her Ninth Soul Ring, achieved the rank of Title Douluo, and avenged herself by killing Qian Xunji.

At thirty-one, she became the Pope of the Spirit Hall and began the Nine Trials of Rakshasa.

At fifty-five, she became a god, and fell in the same year.

Now that Qian Renxue is three, Bibi Dong should only be twenty-three. It seems he won't be turned into a soul ring immediately; he still has at least seven years before she breaks through to level 90 soul power.

Thinking of this, Su Linfeng's hanging heart was temporarily set at ease.

"Hmph! Of course he's different."

Bibi Dong gave Qian Renxue a reproachful look and coldly reminded her, "It is nothing but a beast with a human form! If you don't want to die, stay away from him in the future."

"Mm, little Xue knows." Qian Renxue replied obediently, as if she were already accustomed to Bibi Dong's attitude.

This... this isn't right!

Bibi Dong's attitude toward Qian Renxue is wrong!

Su Linfeng stared blankly at everything, thinking to himself, didn't Bibi Dong view Qian Renxue as an abomination and want to strangle her the moment she was born?

Is this way of interacting correct?

And the way she looks at him, although her attitude is cold, one can see that her heart is soft.

This damned pregnancy hormone, it actually makes even this kind of mother figure develop maternal love.

It seems Bibi Dong was once an innocent girl with dreams; after all, the fact that Qian Renxue could grow up is her greatest kindness. If there was a complete transformation, it should have been after she devoured Qian Xunji and obtained the Rakshasa inheritance. In the end, Qian Xunji was the root of all evil that led to this.

But then again.

It's also because Bibi Dong never met a good person in her life—Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu—she was just a pawn for the revival of the Angel Clan.

Bibi Dong's tragedy lies in the fact that her entire life was spent resisting a fate of being controlled: her body controlled by the Spirit Hall, her soul controlled by the Rakshasa god, and even her obsession with Yu Xiaogang forced her into becoming a devil.

Her madness is precisely the most cruel irony directed at the powerhouses of the Douluo Shijie.

Why does no one condemn Tang San? The number of people he killed is no less than Bibi Dong. Is it justice when the protagonist group kills, but heinous when the villain kills? This kind of double standard precisely proves the hypocrisy of this world.

What if Bibi Dong were the protagonist of this world?

What would the ending be then?

After his emotions stabilized, Su Linfeng gradually stopped crying; seeing the dazed Bibi Dong, he actually smiled, his eyes curving like crescent moons, instantly melting the gloom in Bibi Dong's heart.

To be honest, an infant's smile is very healing.

While struggling, Su Linfeng inadvertently gripped one of Bibi Dong's fingers, and he could clearly feel the tremor in her body and the change in her gaze.

"What a nuisance, he must be hungry."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and replied offhandedly, "Once I break through to level ninety, you'll be the first nuisance I deal with!"

As she spoke.

With a flick of her hand, a surge of purple soul power flowed toward Su Linfeng.

Bibi Dong did not yet know how to handle a Transformed Soul Beast, so she thought of passing some soul power to him.

But then, a strange scene occurred.

A faint golden light surged from within Su Linfeng's body, forcibly dissolving the soul power Bibi Dong had transmitted.

This is...

Bibi Dong's pupils shook violently, and she couldn't help but murmur, "This little fellow's true form is clearly a black avian Spirit Beast, yet his aura feels as detestable as Qian Renxue's? Could this guy also have the Light attribute?"

Ah... this...

Su Linfeng was slightly stunned, thinking to himself: What are you doing? You feed a hungry child soul power? Even a Spirit Beast doesn't eat soul power! Do you even know how to raise a child?

"What should I do now?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly and muttered, "A Transformed Soul Beast—could it be that I have to raise him just like I raised Qian Renxue? He wouldn't need to drink milk, would he?"

Thinking this.

Bibi Dong hesitated for two seconds, then bent down and picked up Su Linfeng.

Wh... what are you doing?

Holy crap!

Feeling the softness as he was held, a rather unhealthy thought flashed through his mind, and Su Linfeng's eyes instantly went wide.

No... no way!

Qian Renxue is already three years old!

Does she... does she still have any?
