Chapter 60
Bright sunshine fell on Qian Xunji's body, but he only felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar; a chill rose from his heart and quickly spread, instantly reaching his whole body.
He had always felt proud and satisfied with his achievements, originally thinking that becoming a Title Douluo at fifty was a remarkable feat, but he never imagined that in Qian Daoliu's eyes, it was actually so inadequate.
Could it be that Father has all along been tolerating my foolish self? A strong sense of shame welled up in his heart.
Qian Xunji clenched his teeth, striving to stay calm, but the light in his eyes inevitably faded away.
His hands trembled slightly, as if trying to grasp something, yet he could catch nothing.
"Father... I... I have already tried very hard..."
Qian Xunji's voice turned a little hoarse; he did not understand why his efforts were so insignificant in Qian Daoliu's eyes, and the inferiority complex he had carried since childhood had already driven him into madness.
He had originally expected to receive his father's praise and recognition, but he never imagined that the outcome would be like this.
Qian Xunji's smile vanished from his face; he remained silent for a long time, merely staring quietly at Qian Daoliu, as if hoping to find something in his expression, but in the end he was still disappointed.
In that moment, Qian Xunji seemed to have aged considerably; his straightened back bent slightly, and his steps became extremely heavy.
He slowly turned around and walked out step by step; that desolate back view appeared especially sorrowful in the sunlight.
After that, Qian Xunji changed; he became even more fanatically devoted to everything of the Angel God! As long as he could get close to her! He would spare no means! Bibi Dong was enraged by Qian Xunji's calm willingness to die.
"For Qian Renxue? You hypocritical beast! You don't even deserve to mention her! You are unworthy!"
Bibi Dong's hateful gaze fixed on him, but Qian Xunji merely closed his eyes, waiting for Bibi Dong to act.
As the medicine in the chicken soup took effect, Qian Xunji's soul power circulation was also restricted by the toxin; this toxin actually has only an ordinary effect on soul masters of the Six-Winged Angel martial soul, and cannot truly restrict Qian Xunji, but he is solely seeking death.
"Qian Xunji, do you think this will let you die easily? I will make you feel pain bit by bit, and die after enduring endless torment!"
Bibi Dong's resentful voice echoed in the secret chamber.
"For everything you have done to me, I will surely repay you double!"
Death Spider Emperor possession! Bibi Dong's upper body skin was covered with a layer of purple-black armor, and even her face was shielded by a piece of carapace.
Beneath her eyes, four small eyes had grown; her slender legs disappeared, and her lower abdomen transformed into a huge spherical mass.
From this sphere grew eight thick legs, capable of propelling her body to walk swiftly; they sprouted a large tuft of green hair and also carried a nauseating slime.
Dripping onto the floor of the secret chamber, it constantly emitted a puffing sound, strongly corrosive, like a gigantic venomous spider, hideous and terrifying.
Two yellow, two purple, four black, eight soul rings floated beneath its vicious spider legs; the splendid third soul ring flickered, Death Spider Net binding! A deep purple spider net spewed out, carrying a misty purple poisonous gas that enveloped Qian Xunji; as the net flew through the air toward Qian Xunji, it rapidly expanded and entangled him.
The number of spider nets spewed by this skill is decided by Bibi Dong herself; the stronger her strength, the more and larger the nets she spits out.
Once one reaches the rank of Title Douluo, even massive soul beasts like the Azure Bull Python or Titan Giant Ape can be sufficiently entangled.
"Qian Xunji, feel the pain!" Bibi Dong shouted coldly, those eight vicious spider legs flashing with a cold light.
Bibi Dong stepped closer to the bound Qian Xunji, and the eight spider legs mercilessly stabbed toward him.
A puck‑puck sound rang out, and the spider legs easily pierced into Qian Xunji's body.
Qian Xunji involuntarily let out a muffled groan, while Bibi Dong showed no mercy, beginning to frantically absorb his life force.
As his life force waned, Qian Xunji's face grew ever paler, his body gradually becoming weak and powerless, yet Bibi Dong did not stop; she wanted Qian Xunji to die slowly in pain.
Qian Xunji suddenly burst into manic laughter:
"Father! I am worthy of the Qian Family! My bones can cultivate a new Angel God!"
"Shut up!"
Bibi Dong used her spider legs to pierce Qian Xunji's body, ruthlessly sucking out his life force.
And the life seed that Qian Renxue had left inside him was suddenly triggered at this moment, continually replenishing the life force he had lost.
"Huh? I didn't expect your body to hide such a secret? Is this a special physique unique to Six-Winged Angel soul masters?"
The vast azure life force made Bibi Dong tremble pleasantly all over, but she soon stopped, fearing she might accidentally kill Qian Xunji first. Making Qian Renxue feel pain is now Bibi Dong's goal.
"Why hasn't Qian Renxue come in yet? Her aura should have arrived long ago—what's going on? After a while, Qian Renxue heard that the secret chamber seemed quiet, and she cautiously poked out her little head, asking, 'Have you finished venting?'"
"Huh? This is really a splendid show."
Qian Renxue playfully gave the two actors a round of applause and gave them a good review.
Bibi Dong stared at her charming daughter and momentarily lost herself.
Even she could not help but admit that her daughter, whom she had not seen for a long time, had grown a face that surpassed blue, being even finer than indigo.
"Xue'er?"
Qian Xunji, meanwhile, looked at Qian Renxue with a face of fanaticism—this was certainly not the look a father gives his daughter.
Within it lay faith and reverence; it was a worship akin to that shown to a deity! Yet it lacked a father's affection for his daughter.
"Why aren't you continuing? You two? I've been waiting outside for ages—keep going!"
Qian Renxue walked nonchalantly to the edge of the sofa in the secret chamber, sat down elegantly, and crossed her legs in a pose that was especially eye‑catching.
Her long, straight white‑silk legs, set off by the high heels, displayed even greater charm, resembling a fine work of art.
After accepting A Rou's sacrifice, Qian Renxue's waist and leg lines became even more perfect, especially those long legs—she could play with them all year.
Those feet were small and exquisite, perfectly wrapped in delicate high heels, like precious pearls placed on a refined base.
Her body leaned slightly back against the sofa back, fully displaying laziness and nobility.
A head of golden hair fell loosely, undulating like golden waves. Her face was exquisitely painted, and her fair skin seemed to emit a soft glow in the dim light.
Her beautiful violet eyes were half‑narrowed, revealing an unintentional pink allure that was hard to fathom; her whole person exuded a unique charm that was difficult to resist.
"You"
Before Bibi Dong arrived, she had imagined many possible reactions from Qian Renxue—hatred, fear, disgust—but she never thought Qian Renxue would be completely indifferent.
Qian Renxue! I'm actually going to kill Qian Xunji now!
A sudden, inexplicable panic spread in Bibi Dong's heart. How could this be? Could Qian Renxue possibly not care at all about Qian Xunji? If so, does she still have any chance of caring about me? In that case, would she still hate me? Could I still become the Pope?
Huh? I'm not stopping you, you know?
Qian Renxue really doesn't care; Qian Xunji isn't Qian Daoliu. If it weren't for fear of hurting her grandfather's feelings, she wouldn't have come today—sleeping at home would be much more comfortable. She's really been exhausted lately.
To Qian Renxue, Qian Xunji is nothing more than a fanatical follower of the Angel God; what he cares about is not himself, but that his talent allows him to obtain the Angel God's Nine Trials; the only thing he loves is the Angel God.
Since he is not a father, just a believer, Qian Renxue also has no need to manage him; dedicating one's life to his god is also a believer's own pursuit, right? She doesn't understand, but she respects.
Since she has the ability to kill a Title Douluo, she no longer needs Qian Xunji to restrain Bibi Dong; her strength is now on par with a Title Douluo.
A Title Douluo is nothing; Qian Renxue currently doesn't even put her in her eyes. She came tonight just to make a statement, so that Bibi Dong, who lacks vision, won't keep causing trouble all day.
"He is your father!"
"What you say is really interesting; I'm not the one who wants to kill him, aren't you the one who wants to kill him?"
Qian Renxue has no interest in the love-hatred grudges of the older generation, and there's no way to make her stronger.
Qian Renxue carefully examined Bibi Dong's martial soul; she is still more interested in various martial souls, but Bibi Dong's martial soul when possessed is truly ugly—is this the Death Spider Emperor?
When Bibi Dong's Soul-devouring Spider Emperor martial soul is possessed, it becomes very beautiful, giving a strange, stunning beauty, but the Death Spider Emperor martial soul is just a bit frightening and ugly.
This is also why Bibi Dong mostly uses her second martial soul, the Soul-devouring Spider Emperor, when outside; even when using the Death Spider Emperor's abilities, she does not perform martial soul possession.
Fortunately she didn't inherit this martial soul; otherwise she would have been doomed.
