Chapter 265: Qian Renxue Discovers Bibi Dong’s Pregnancy

Chapter 265: Qian Renxue Discovers Bibi Dong's Pregnancy

Bibi Dong's room was located in the center of the Spirit Empire's camp, a place where only those with close relations to her, like Hu Liena and Su Yun, could approach.

However, when Qian Renxue appeared before the guards, they immediately saluted, their expressions filled with barely contained excitement.

Qian Renxue had long returned to wearing women's attire. Coupled with her aura from impersonating the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire and her unparalleled beauty in the Douluo Continent, many of the Spirit Empire's guards revered her as the future Angelic God.

"Greetings, Elder Xue," the guards saluted.

Qian Renxue's current position was that of an elder in the Douluo Palace. She smiled slightly at their salutation and said, "No need for formalities. I'm here to see the Pope."

"I will report immediately."

Qian Renxue did not make things difficult for the guards. After a brief wait, the guard returned and saluted again, "Elder Xue, the Pope will see you now."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly to the people present and then stepped into Bibi Dong's room.

As soon as she entered, she sensed numerous arrays set up for cultivation. Her gaze fell on the woman sitting by the bed, and she speculated that this woman was likely close to passing the ninth test.

While Qian Renxue assessed her mother, Bibi Dong was also examining her daughter, whom she hadn't been close to for many years.

In the past, even when Qian Renxue secretly returned from the Heaven Dou Empire to the Spirit Hall, she had never taken the initiative to see her mother privately.

What was different today?

"You never visit me, so why are you here today?" Despite facing her biological daughter, Bibi Dong still exuded the aura of the Empress of the Spirit Empire. Though her words lacked a questioning tone, they carried an inherent pressure.

Accustomed to her mother's manner, Qian Renxue wasn't particularly affected. She said, "Grandfather Golden Crocodile asked me to check on you, saying you seem unwell."

"Although our relationship isn't good, I don't want the Spirit Empire's future to be affected by your absence."

Qian Renxue's words were half true, half false.

As a daughter, how could she not care about her mother?

But years of undercover work and not knowing the truth prevented her from showing her emotions easily before Bibi Dong.

Unwell?

Bibi Dong's face changed slightly upon hearing this.

As a top-tier expert, she was aware of her physical condition in recent days.

She could already feel the life growing in her abdomen, and it wouldn't be long before her pregnancy would be obvious.

At that point, besides going into seclusion to give birth, she would have no other choice.

"I'm still some distance from completing the ninth test of the Rakshasa God, so my body has been a bit off lately. Please thank Golden Crocodile Douluo for his concern." Bibi Dong's tone towards Golden Crocodile Douluo was not friendly, as the two had never been on good terms.

However, with her disciple (and man) rising in power, relations between the Douluo Palace and Spirit Hall had eased, creating the unusual situation of both sides attending the same meetings.

Qian Renxue observed her mother's expression and didn't think she was lying. Additionally, Bibi Dong's aura seemed stable, not unusual as Golden Crocodile Douluo had suggested, so she nodded and prepared to leave.

"Not staying a bit longer?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked. As a woman, she naturally wanted to spend some time alone with her daughter, even in silence.

Seeing each other only as the Pope and an elder felt too distant.

"No, I plan to visit the front line and then return to undergo the seventh Angelic God test and draw the Angelic Holy Sword." Qian Renxue turned to look at Bibi Dong, her eyes filled with determination. "Even if you are ahead of me now, I will reach godhood before you."

With that, she turned and left.

Bibi Dong watched her daughter leave and sighed, touching her abdomen.

She wondered how she would face Qian Renxue once this child was born.

…

After leaving Bibi Dong's room, Qian Renxue flew to the front lines.

In a few days, she inspected the front lines, where many were managed by Douluo Palace members, who welcomed her arrival.

Through their introductions, Qian Renxue learned that many strategies were devised by Su Yun, increasing her regard for him.

"Where is Su Yun now?" Qian Renxue asked her companions.

"We don't know. The Holy Son is elusive, but rest assured, every time he appears, he shows significant progress in his cultivation," someone explained, seemingly understanding her intent.

Qian Renxue nodded. After a few days on the front lines, she prepared to return to the Douluo Palace.

But on her way back, she unexpectedly encountered a small group of people she recognized.

These were the maids who served her mother, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong, being a woman, naturally had female attendants, each with a soul power level of at least Soul Ancestor.

Seeing Qian Renxue appear suddenly, the maids became visibly nervous.

Noticing their reaction, Qian Renxue's face darkened.

She suspected they might have betrayed her mother and the Spirit Hall.

She was in a remote area; if not for her urgency to return to the Douluo Palace, she wouldn't have taken this route.

But now, she unexpectedly encountered them.

Seeing their anxious expressions, Qian Renxue questioned, "Why are you here?"

Sensing her terrifying aura, the head maid knelt in fear, "The Empress ordered us to do something and instructed us to be careful not to be seen by outsiders."

Qian Renxue frowned and asked, "What task? Speak."

"This..." The head maid hesitated, unsure how to explain.

Seeing the maid's hesitation, Qian Renxue's expression grew darker, threatening, "If you don't speak, I will kill you all now!"

"With the impending war, you sneaking to this remote place makes it hard to believe you haven't allied with the Heaven Dou Empire."

As she spoke, Qian Renxue released her Angelic God power, causing the maids to kneel and bow.

"Spare us, Your Highness!"

"We were wrong."

Seeing that Qian Renxue wasn't bluffing, the head maid quickly confessed, "We were sent by the Empress to buy some items."

"What items?" Qian Renxue demanded.

The maid handed over her soul tool, "Your Highness, the items are inside. Please see for yourself."

Qian Renxue took it and looked inside.

After a few seconds of examining the contents, Qian Renxue still looked puzzled about her mother's intentions.

However, a memory from her time impersonating the Crown Prince in the Heaven Dou Empire suddenly surfaced.

Qian Renxue remembered that Emperor Xue Ye's concubines often craved sour foods to alleviate morning sickness during pregnancy.

The items inside the soul tool were precisely those that pregnant women frequently consumed.

How could it be possible?!

How could that woman be pregnant?!

Recalling Golden Crocodile Douluo's mention of Bibi Dong's unstable aura, Qian Renxue suddenly understood.

A pregnant woman's aura would naturally fluctuate, making it hard to discern.

"I'll ask you one more time: who exactly instructed you to buy these?!" Qian Renxue's expression shifted dramatically, unwilling to believe that woman could be pregnant.

At this moment, she would rather believe these maids were traitors than accept that her own mother was pregnant!

Her father had been dead for so many years; how could she be pregnant?!

However, under Qian Renxue's threat of death, the maids all gave the same answer.

The items were indeed ordered by Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her face darkening with fury.

She immediately took the four maids and rushed back to Bibi Dong's territory.

She needed to confront her mother directly!

A few days later, Qian Renxue returned to Bibi Dong's room, bringing along the maids she had encountered.

Seeing the maids and the soul tool in Qian Renxue's hand, Bibi Dong instantly understood her daughter's intent.

After dismissing the maids, Bibi Dong did not plan to hide anything and immediately admitted, "Yes, I am pregnant."

Boom——

In an instant, Bibi Dong's words hit Qian Renxue like a bolt of lightning!

"What did you say?!"

Qian Renxue hadn't expected Bibi Dong to admit it so quickly. Although she had already guessed it, hearing it from the woman herself left her equally shocked and furious.

"You... No wonder your aura is unstable. It's because you're carrying someone else's child!" Qian Renxue shouted.

Bibi Dong's eyebrows furrowed, and she stood up, glaring at her daughter. "Take back what you just said!"

She could tolerate Qian Renxue's dissatisfaction with her, but the child in her womb was innocent.

"What? Are you already defending the bastard in your belly?!" Qian Renxue, now resembling a child whose cherished toy had been taken away, vented her anger at Bibi Dong.

"Did you ever mourn for my father after his death?"

"After I was born, how long did it take before you heartlessly abandoned me to grandfather?"

"And now you've secretly had relations with some unknown man and are carrying his child!"

"How is it not a bastard?!" Qian Renxue screamed hysterically.

In the past, she always maintained a facade of calm when facing Bibi Dong, but internally, she was constantly anxious.

Today, after confirming Bibi Dong's pregnancy, Qian Renxue's repressed emotions erupted.

Faced with Qian Renxue's accusations, Bibi Dong's brow furrowed deeply.

Back then, she had agreed not to tell Qian Renxue the truth about her father, Qian Xunji, to preserve his image in her daughter's eyes.

However, to Bibi Dong, the man who was revered as a shining figure was far more evil than the Rakshasa God!

She would never forget that day!

From that day on, the former Bibi Dong ceased to exist, maintaining an icy indifference towards the world for decades.

"Who is the father?!" Qian Renxue gritted her teeth. She now despised Bibi Dong, believing her mother to be shameless.

But she despised the man responsible for her mother's pregnancy even more!

For the first time, Qian Renxue felt an intense urge to kill someone!

Faced with her question, Bibi Dong chose silence.

It wasn't that Bibi Dong feared Qian Renxue harming Su Yun.

She just felt it wasn't the right time to reveal everything.

As Qian Renxue saw Bibi Dong's silence and felt her own rage nearing its peak, a figure appeared.

Qian Daoliu.

He appeared and took Qian Renxue away, leaving Bibi Dong alone in the room.

...

"Grandfather! Why did you stop me?!" Qian Renxue faced her beloved grandfather for the first time with such volatile emotions.

"Xue'er, you are the inheritor of the Angelic God. If you let your emotions get out of control, it will affect your future inheritance."

"From the seventh Angelic test onward, you cannot afford any mistakes."

"I will handle your mother's situation."

"Your priority now is to calm down, understand?"

To Qian Daoliu, the most crucial thing was for his granddaughter to focus on her Angelic God inheritance.

If the inheritance failed, it would be a massive blow to the Spirit Hall.

"But... Grandfather…"

Qian Renxue wanted to say more, but the words wouldn't come out.

"Rest assured."

Qian Daoliu understood his granddaughter's thoughts. "I will ensure your mother gives you an explanation."

"Now, focus on your duties."

"Become a god as soon as possible!"
