Chapter 278: Qian Renxue Longs to Marry Su Yun, Bibi Dong's Inner Struggle
Su Yun, guided by a subordinate, arrived at Qian Renxue's quarters. She had already changed into her female attire, sitting at a table in a black dress, seemingly waiting for him.
"Sister Xue, you called for me?" Su Yun sat down next to Qian Renxue, noticing that she seemed different from usual.
Compared to the normally stern and authoritative demeanor she wore as the Judgement Elder, today Qian Renxue exuded an indescribable allure. Just looking at her, he could feel the seduction in her gaze.
"Su Yun, you're here." Qian Renxue smiled faintly. "You probably know that I failed the seventh Angel God trial recently."
Su Yun nodded.
He had learned from Bibi Dong that the failure of Qian Renxue's divine trial was indirectly his fault. He hadn't expected that his inability to control himself could cause such a disturbance in Qian Renxue's emotions.
It was evident that Qian Renxue still harbored deep feelings for Bibi Dong.
"I've spent some time outside recently, and it has helped me find some peace."
"I called you here not for anything else. After all, you're the Pope's disciple. I want to ask if you know who the father of the child the Pope is carrying is."
Hearing this, Su Yun felt a string tighten in his head.
If he told Qian Renxue the truth now, she would probably kill him on the spot.
Thus, Su Yun shook his head, "I'm not sure either."
Qian Renxue seemed to have expected this answer. She then asked, "There's another matter. What do you think about my grandfather trying to pair us up?"
Su Yun hadn't anticipated this question.
Their relationship wasn't particularly deep, unlike his connections with Bibi Dong and A Yin. Moreover, Qian Renxue was unusually straightforward today.
Could it be...
Su Yun suspected that the other side of Qian Renxue from her seventh trial had surfaced, temporarily taking control of her consciousness.
He looked at her and saw that she was scrutinizing him.
Su Yun quickly replied, "We should let things take their natural course. Sister Xue, you don't need to worry too much about the Grand Priest's plans."
"Is that so?"
Qian Renxue leaned forward slightly. "I used to think the same, but now I realize that being with you might not be so bad."
Uh...
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Su Yun became increasingly certain that the current Qian Renxue was not the original her.
It seemed that the failure of her Angel God trial had some side effects.
"Marriage is a serious matter, and I think you should be cautious. Besides, I already have Zhuqing and Nana. Adding another person..."
Su Yun said this to subtly reject her.
However, Qian Renxue responded, "You already have two. Why can't you add me?"
"Don't worry, I won't compete with them for the main wife's position. As long as you have a place for me in your heart."
Her boldness left Su Yun convinced that the other side of Qian Renxue had indeed taken over.
"Such decisions should be taken seriously," Su Yun insisted. "Besides, I don't have romantic feelings for you."
Qian Renxue pretended to look upset, "Do you dislike me because I'm older than you?"
She had been undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire for many years, naturally making her older than Su Yun.
"On the contrary, I prefer older women..." Su Yun thought but said, "I think you should seek the Grand Priest and the Pope's advice on this matter."
"My marriage is my own decision, even my grandfather wants us together."
"Furthermore, we both have divine inheritance. We will enter the God Realm together in the future."
"In every aspect, we are a perfect match."
"And... I remember your teasing words in the courtyard very clearly. Are you going to flirt and run away?"
Uh...
Recalling his words in the courtyard, Su Yun found himself speechless.
Then, Qian Renxue suddenly stood up, looking at Su Yun, "Regardless, I have set my sights on you. If you don't want to marry me, I'll tell my grandfather that you despise me."
"If you do that, the Grand Priest will surely have my hide..." Su Yun forced a smile, "Sister Xue, please don't..."
"Don't waste your breath. What I decide, no one can change."
Qian Renxue stated, "I am at the age where I should get married."
"Among all the men in the continent, only you are worthy of me."
"Today, I will speak to my grandfather and that woman. I don't think they will object."
"If you dare refuse me, you can imagine the consequences... hmph."
With that, Qian Renxue kicked Su Yun out of the room.
Standing outside, Su Yun was speechless.
Had she become this bold after being taken over by another self?
...
"What?! You really want Xue'er to marry Su Yun?!" Bibi Dong looked at Qian Daoliu in shock.
"Of course."
Qian Daoliu said calmly, "Today, Xue'er came to me, expressing her feelings for Su Yun."
"Moreover, there's no one else on the continent who is a match for her except Su Yun."
"In the future, when they enter the God Realm, they will support each other as a couple."
"This is the perfect marriage."
Qian Renxue glanced at Bibi Dong, narrowing her eyes, "As her mother, aren't you concerned about your daughter's marriage?"
Bibi Dong indeed cared about Qian Renxue's marriage.
But it depended on who she married.
If it were Su Yun, wouldn't that make their relationship even more complicated?
Bibi Dong shook her head, "This should be Su Yun's decision. After all, he already has Zhuqing and Nana..."
Before Bibi Dong could finish, Qian Daoliu interrupted, "I've already considered that. I spoke to those two girls first."
"They agreed."
"As for Su Yun, he said he would follow your and my decision."
"As Su Yun's teacher and Xue'er's mother, this marriage would be highly beneficial. Why would you oppose it?"
"You and Xue'er have been estranged for years. This marriage is a chance to mend your relationship."
"And their children would inherit the Spirit Hall's legacy."
"Such a good thing, you won't find anywhere else."
"Do you still want to oppose it?"
Qian Daoliu's words left Bibi Dong speechless.
If it weren't for her past incident with Su Yun, she would wholeheartedly support her daughter's relationship with him.
But now, she is already pregnant with Su Yun's child. If Xue'er were to marry Su Yun in the future, what would Xue'er call her? Would she have to call her "sister"?
"Great Worship, I think…"
Seeing that Bibi Dong still had no clear opinion, Qian Daoliu grew a bit impatient and said, "Alright, alright, I know what you want to say."
"You just want to say that the time is too short."
"I've already talked to them. After we conquer the Heaven Dou Empire, we will hold their wedding."
"Looking at it now, there's more than a year left, which is enough time for them to develop feelings for each other."
"Now, you have nothing to say, right?"
Hearing Qian Daoliu mention the delay of more than a year, Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief.
At least this way, she still had a chance to work on Su Yun and Qian Renxue's thoughts.
She had already boarded Su Yun's "thief ship"; she didn't want Xue'er to get involved too.
...
Night.
Bibi Dong's bedchamber.
"Teacher… Teacher, be gentle, it hurts." Su Yun felt unlucky; as soon as he sneaked into his teacher's room, she grabbed his ear and wouldn't let go.
"You've got some nerve, Su Yun. You really intend for us mother and daughter…"
Halfway through, Bibi Dong felt that the words couldn't be said aloud and just asked, "Can't you be more firm and refuse the Great Worship?"
"Teacher, actually I wanted to talk to you about this…"
Su Yun knew Bibi Dong was angry, so he recounted the strange behavior of Qian Renxue today.
He also shared some of his thoughts.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly, "You mean, the current Xue'er isn't the original her, but another her in control?"
Thinking back, Bibi Dong suddenly realized that her daughter had indeed been acting strangely recently.
Her behavior had become bolder than usual.
This situation was similar to when she was possessed by the Rakshasa God.
With this in mind, Bibi Dong understood why her daughter suddenly approached Qian Daoliu to ask for marriage with Su Yun.
It must be because of the god's test.
"Hmph! Even so, you're still at fault for not being firm enough!"
"Tell me! Have you been thinking about those dirty thoughts all along?"
Facing Bibi Dong's pressure, Su Yun could only murmur, "Teacher, you know me, how could I have such thoughts?"
"But! I am someone who knows how to be content."
"With you, Sister Yin, Zhuqing, and Nana, I'm already very satisfied."
Bibi Dong glared at Su Yun, "I thought you wouldn't dare."
Bibi Dong planned to talk to her daughter tomorrow to make things clear.
"Take your hand off!" Suddenly feeling someone's hand on her backside, Bibi Dong coldly scolded.
However, this only made someone more brazen.
"Teacher, it's late, time to rest."
"You…"
...
The next day.
After getting up, Bibi Dong looked at Su Yun, who was lying lifeless on the bed, and snorted inwardly, "If I don't teach this kid a lesson, he'll think he's all that."
Su Yun also regretted being too arrogant these past two days.
Last night, Bibi Dong barely exerted any force, and he was at her mercy.
"When you leave, make sure no one sees you, understood?" Bibi Dong reminded him.
Su Yun nodded.
He had almost mastered this kind of sneaky behavior.
After reminding Su Yun, Bibi Dong went to find Qian Daoliu and discussed Qian Renxue with him. Then, they both went to find Qian Renxue.
When the three met, Bibi Dong directly looked at Qian Renxue and asked, "You are not my daughter. Who are you?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was first stunned, then smiled and said, "Your Holiness, you're joking. I'm just another part of Qian Renxue."
"Knowing that you are pregnant, her emotions couldn't handle it, so I took over her body."
"Only if she faces her true feelings might I disappear."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu exchanged glances and understood that for Qian Renxue to regain control, she would have to work on it herself.
"Then what about your relationship with Su Yun?" Bibi Dong asked again.
Qian Renxue responded calmly, "I'm willing."
"Actually, she also has feelings for Su Yun, but she has been suppressing them."
"With Zhu Zhuqing and Hu Liena around Su Yun, her strong pride wouldn't let her admit her feelings."
"I am different. I will fight for what I like."
"I won't let such a man go."
Saying this, Qian Renxue smiled.
She had always been watching Su Yun.
Hearing this, Qian Daoliu was relieved.
At least his granddaughter liked Su Yun, which satisfied him.
However, Bibi Dong's face turned ugly upon hearing this.
If her daughter regained control in the future and married Su Yun, how would she face her daughter?
"So when will my Xue'er return?" Qian Daoliu's question caught Bibi Dong's attention.
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Grandfather, what are you thinking?"
"I am also your granddaughter, just another side of her heart."
"If she acknowledges my existence, once she passes the seventh angel trial, she will be our complete self."
"Then, we can truly take the final angel test."
"We originate from the same source, inseparable."
Qian Renxue's words made Qian Daoliu nod.
But Bibi Dong began to struggle internally with her relationship with her daughter.
...
Clear Sky Sect.
"Blue Vast King, your decision was right. Now, our Heaven Dou Empire has gathered a strong army, and we have some confidence in facing the Spirit Empire." Xue Beng praised.
Tang San smiled and said, "This was only possible with your support, Your Majesty and Your Highness. Otherwise, I wouldn't have succeeded so easily."
After a pause, Tang San continued, "Your Highness, I have an idea. Would you like to hear it?"
