Yang Podi seemed reluctant to shatter Qian Renxue's beautiful illusion, and a wave of melancholy swept through him.
After an unknown amount of time, Qian Renxue's expression suddenly turned ice-cold. "Whether it's my father's wrongful death or my miserable childhood, Bibi Dong owes me an explanation. Whether as a mother or as a wife, she was unqualified."
Yang Podi couldn't help but sigh. "Who told you that Bibi Dong was Qian Xunji's wife? And who told you that Bibi Dong willingly bore Qian Xunji's child?"
Qian Renxue's face changed dramatically upon hearing this. "What do you mean by that? If Bibi Dong didn't choose my father, then who else could she have chosen?"
Yang Podi's expression was filled with sorrow. "Xue'er, let me tell you a story. It's a cruel one, but once you hear it, you will understand everything."
Qian Renxue nodded dazedly.
Yang Podi continued, "A long time ago, the Pope of Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji, took in a young genius girl as his disciple. He cared for this disciple immensely—not only protecting her meticulously but also teaching her many secrets of the Angel Clan. He poured all his efforts into grooming her."
"This girl was Bibi Dong. Because Qian Xunji cherished Bibi Dong too much, she became powerful but remained naive. Until one day, she fell in love with an unknown, ordinary Soul Master—a man who was an enemy of the Angel Clan."
"By now, you should realize that this Soul Master was none other than Yu Xiaogang, the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's patriarch. The direct disciples of two enemy factions actually fell in love—this was unacceptable to the entire world."
"Yu Xiaogang, as the patriarch's son, was born with only half a level of innate soul power. To prove his worth and break through his limitations, he joined Spirit Hall and contributed many theories about martial souls. These actions were intolerable to Yu Yuanzhen, who then expelled Yu Xiaogang from the clan."
"The love between Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong was doomed to be rejected by the world. Both Qian Xunji and Yu Yuanzhen did everything in their power to keep them apart. The two even considered eloping, but their plan was crushed."
"As a result, Yu Xiaogang left Spirit Hall once again and later fell in love with his cousin, Liu Erlong. But under the opposition of Liu Erlong's father, Yu Luomian—Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother—he ended up as a dejected man, wandering in Notting City."
"Most women are emotional, and Bibi Dong was no exception. However, her situation was even more tragic. She never forgot Yu Xiaogang. To keep her in Spirit Hall and fulfill his own desires, Qian Xunji shamelessly took her by force and even forced her to give birth to a child. That child was you."
Qian Renxue's face contorted in fury upon hearing this. "My father wasn't like that! He was a great Pope! He was the holiest Angel in this world!"
Yang Podi silently caressed her face as the room fell into a suffocating silence.
After a long time, Qian Renxue finally spoke again. "What happened after that? What else do you know?"
Yang Podi sighed softly. "Alright, I'll tell you everything, so you won't be left with doubts or regrets."
"After giving birth, Bibi Dong fell into a state of madness. Compared to before, she became far more calculating and patient."
"To help Bibi Dong become stronger, Qian Xunji discovered a rumor about a hundred-thousand-year-old Blue Silver Emperor that had taken human form. This Blue Silver Emperor was Tang Hao's wife, Ah Yin. Upon hearing the news, Qian Xunji led Chrysanthemum Douluo, Ghost Douluo, and other powerful experts to hunt her down. After an intense battle, Ah Yin sacrificed herself to Tang Hao, giving him his hundred-thousand-year ninth spirit ring."
"With the sacrifice of the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang Hao's strength soared. He fought against three foes at once and severely injured Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo. This incident was one of the sparks that ignited the war between the Clear Sky Clan and Spirit Hall."
"After everything was over, a heavily wounded Qian Xunji returned to Spirit City. And at that moment, Bibi Dong, who had been lying in wait, finally bared her fangs. She personally killed Qian Xunji and devoured him to take revenge."
Hearing all this, Qian Renxue's face was already soaked in tears, and she could not stop sobbing.
But Yang Podi continued, "This is the whole truth and one of the greatest secrets of the Douluo Continent. The war between the Clear Sky Clan and Spirit Hall erupted because of this event, eventually leading to the Clear Sky Clan's retreat into seclusion."
"For these reasons, Bibi Dong has always hated Qian Xunji and despised the so-called 'holy' Angel Clan. After all, as the Saintess of Spirit Hall, she had once worshiped the Angel Clan. That's why, from the moment you were born, she hated you. To her, seeing you was like reliving her past humiliation."
"And because of this, your grandfather, Qian Daoliu, allowed Qian Xunji to be killed by Bibi Dong. In fact, to make amends to Bibi Dong, he even supported her in becoming the next Pope. This was the Angel Clan's way of repaying their debt to her."
Upon hearing everything, Qian Renxue burst into uncontrollable sobs, crying as if the heavens were collapsing.
After an unknown period of time, the light in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a firm resolve. "Podi, do you have proof of everything you just said?"
Yang Podi shook his head. "How could something like this have concrete proof? If you want evidence, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu are the best witnesses. One was the victim, and the other was a bystander. And you—you are the very product of this tragedy."
"Podi, what should I do now? After hearing all this, I feel like I can't trust anything in this world anymore. It seems like everyone is stained with sin."
"Xue'er, whether something is truly sinful is something you must decide for yourself. As a woman, you should be able to understand your mother's actions back then."
"But Bibi Dong has always wanted to kill me. To her, I am the most hated person in her heart, a constant reminder of her past humiliation."
Yang Podi smiled faintly. "Xue'er, as the saying goes, 'Even a tiger will not eat its cubs.' You must believe that she is your mother—your closest kin. And you are also her only family. If anyone can resolve Bibi Dong's inner torment, it can only be you."
Qian Renxue's eyes filled with confusion and sorrow. "Can I really do it? I have always opposed her, even disobeyed her many times. Will she ever accept me?"
Yang Podi simply gazed at the sky, lost in thoughts of past and present, before calmly saying, "Believe in her. You are the only light in her heart."
At that moment, Yang Podi recalled the original Douluo Dalu novel—how, at the end of the Three God Battle, Bibi Dong only realized her regrets upon the brink of death. Perhaps she had been too cruel to her daughter, which was why she made her final plea.
And in Yang Podi's embrace, Qian Renxue slowly drifted into a confused, dreamlike sleep, looking as innocent as a little angel.
