Sister

The person who arrived was none other than Bibi Dong. She wore a purple gauze dress, her beautiful eyes avoiding contact, and a trace of gloom flickered across her brows.

Bibi Dong kept her gaze straight ahead, looking at Zhongli, but deep down, she felt conflicted, wanting to glance at the person beside her, "Xue Qinghe."

Upon seeing who it was, "Xue Qinghe" instinctively blurted out, "Mom..."

As if realizing something, Qian Renxue looked slightly disappointed and glanced at Bibi Dong's indifferent expression. She said, "Sister, why are you here?"

The moment she spoke, Bibi Dong's body trembled, and she could no longer control her gaze, turning to look at "Xue Qinghe."

"Sister?"

"She actually called me sister…"

Bibi Dong had clearly heard the earlier "Mom..." that "Xue Qinghe" let slip, but what pained her was that she followed it with "Sister!" That word carried more impact than the ninth spirit ability of Qian Daoliu.

"Huh, Qinghe, is she your sister?" Paimon, while eating, couldn't stop glancing between "Xue Qinghe" and Bibi Dong.

Paimon could remember what "Xue Qinghe" looked like, and indeed, there was a slight resemblance between her and Bibi Dong. However, their temperaments seemed worlds apart.

The impression Bibi Dong gave Paimon was somewhat cold and sinister. As she spoke, Paimon subconsciously moved closer to Zhongli, knowing that being near him was the safest place.

Even if the sky were to fall, Zhongli would have the strength and ability to hold it up.

Hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" bit her lip, her gaze firm, as if she had made some kind of decision. She responded, "Yes, Paimon."

"She is indeed my sister!"

Bibi Dong's expression changed, becoming somewhat pale, with a faint and unstable black aura flickering around her brows.

"Your sister doesn't really look like you," Paimon, being straightforward, spoke whatever was on her mind.

As if realizing something, she continued, "Though you don't look alike, you're both very beautiful. Your mother must be incredibly beautiful, right?"

Bibi Dong and "Xue Qinghe": "..."

The two exchanged glances, both speechless.

"What are you doing here in Heaven Dou City?" "Xue Qinghe" ignored the question and instead, with a stern face, asked Bibi Dong directly.

The God of Rakshasa? Severing all emotions and love?

If it were the old "Xue Qinghe," it would be understandable if she didn't know about the God of Rakshasa or what kind of deity it was.

But those decades of what seemed like "dreams" made her feel as if she had been reborn.

In Bibi Dong's eyes, there had never been a place for her as a daughter.

Even the position of Holy Maiden in the Spirit Hall was given to Bibi Dong's disciple.

Qian Renxue had felt as if she had been picked up, no, even worse than being picked up.

Thinking of this, when "Xue Qinghe" looked at Bibi Dong again, the trace of tenderness in her eyes had disappeared, replaced entirely by hostility.

"She doesn't deserve to be a mother!"

Bibi Dong's heart twisted in agony upon hearing this, yet she was helpless to refute it.

There had been times in the past when she considered killing this child who shouldn't have existed, but in the end, she never took action, did she?

Every time she saw the angel's descendant, her murderous intent surged uncontrollably. It was because of this that she suggested sending Qian Renxue to Heaven Dou City as a spy.

To her surprise, Qian Daoliu had agreed to the suggestion, and Qian Renxue, eager to prove her worth, volunteered for the mission.

Bibi Dong had always kept an eye on Qian Renxue's progress, but they hadn't seen each other in over a decade.

Now, upon their first meeting, being called "sister" had completely broken through Bibi Dong's emotional defenses.

"Do I need to report to you about where I go?"

Both Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were notoriously stubborn. One could say that this trait was inherited—neither of them would back down first.

Qian Renxue's aggressive questioning was met with Bibi Dong's icy response, which only served to further strain their relationship.

Though Bibi Dong's words were harsh, "Xue Qinghe" didn't get angry at all. She had grown used to this, her heart long since numb.

Suddenly, as if something came to mind, a hint of disdain appeared in her eyes. She spoke, "You didn't just happen to come here. You probably swung by after visiting that flat headed man, didn't you?"

The "flat headed man" Qian Renxue was referring to was none other than Yu Xiaogang. The former Qian Renxue had been unaware of this messy relationship, but now, having relived her life, how could she not know?

As soon as these words left her mouth, Bibi Dong's entire body trembled.

And to be honest, it wasn't wrong at all.

After arriving in Heaven Dou City, Bibi Dong had planned to first visit "Xue Qinghe" and Zhongli.

But she couldn't resist and had gone to Shrek Academy first.

Wait—how did Qian Renxue know about this?

Bibi Dong, both shocked and confused, felt a wave of shame and anger wash over her. She instinctively raised her hand, ready to slap Qian Renxue.

The anger in her expression, combined with the humiliation of having her painful past exposed, caused Bibi Dong to completely lose control.

Seeing this, "Xue Qinghe" felt her last bit of hope die.

So, this is how it was going to be?

Fine, this slap will settle the score between us!

Bibi Dong's hand moved slowly enough that with "Xue Qinghe's" strength, she could easily have dodged it.

However, instead of dodging, Qian Renxue actually leaned in slightly and, as if resigned to her fate, closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Paimon was so shocked that she dropped the food she was holding. Her face turned pale, and she couldn't believe that this so-called "sister" was actually about to hit someone! She widened her eyes and opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but it felt like the words were stuck in her throat.

"Sigh..."

Zhongli let out a soft sigh, then swiftly grabbed Bibi Dong's arm, stopping her from delivering the slap.

The moment Zhongli restrained her, Bibi Dong snapped out of her impulsive rage. She had almost lost control just now. But as the reality of what had happened sank in, her anger flared once again.

How dare Zhongli, an outsider, interfere in her family matters!

"Martial God Douluo, what is the meaning of this?" Bibi Dong's voice was cold, and she glared at Zhongli, rebuking him.

Upon hearing this, "Xue Qinghe" opened her eyes and glanced between Bibi Dong and Zhongli. The absence of pain on her face made it clear that Zhongli had stopped Bibi Dong.

"Guest Official..." Qian Renxue's eyes softened as she looked at Zhongli with deep tenderness, but when her gaze shifted back to Bibi Dong, the disgust in her expression grew even more intense.

"Guest Official, let her go. Let her hit me. I owe her this."

"After she finishes, I'll sever all ties with her. We'll part ways forever!"

"???"

Paimon's tiny head was filled with a thousand questions. She couldn't understand. Wasn't this supposed to be "Xue Qinghe's" sister? Why was their relationship so tense?

It didn't look like family—they seemed more like enemies!

Hearing Qian Renxue's words felt like a stab to Bibi Dong's heart. She turned her head slowly, her expression pained, as she looked at "Xue Qinghe."

Bibi Dong had tried to kill Qian Renxue several times in the past, yet Qian Renxue had remained dutiful, even thinking that it was her own fault, that maybe something she had done had upset her mother.

But now, that same little girl was saying she wanted to sever all ties?

A surge of blood rose in Bibi Dong's throat, but she forcefully swallowed it back down. For someone like her, suppressing such emotions wasn't too difficult.
