===
Bibidong answered firmly, showing no fear, but deep down, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.
"How does she know these things about me?"
Bibidong was certain this was her first time meeting the Spider Queen, yet the woman knew her age and even guessed that her surname might be Bi or Bai.
"Wait, does she know my parents? Has she met them?" Thinking back to the Spider Queen's first question, Bibidong's heart stirred with emotion.
As an orphan who had grown up without parents, Bibidong felt an urgent desire to uncover the truth about her origins.
The reason Bibidong suspected the Spider Queen might know her parents was because of their shared Devouring Soul Spider Emperor martial soul.
Having grown up in the Spirit Hall, Bibidong was well-read and knew that martial souls were inherited from one's parents' bloodlines—a timeless truth, except in cases of mutant martial souls.
But Bibidong knew that even mutant martial souls couldn't escape the basic bloodline of their ancestors, and neither of her two martial souls had undergone any mutations.
"Your surname is Bi!" The Spider Queen's expression softened slightly as she looked at Bibidong.
"Wait, how did you guess my surname might be Bi or Bai? And how did you know my age?" Bibidong, now desperate for answers, directly questioned the Spider Queen.
Although the Spider Queen was somewhat certain, hearing Bibidong's confirmation still brought a hint of joy to her face.
"Because—" But before the Spider Queen could finish, the sky suddenly darkened.
At the same time, two voices rang out from the side.
"Third Soul Skill: Blue Silver Bind!"
"Thunder Spear, Thunder Wheel!"
It was Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor. Seeing the Spider Queen lower her sickle from Bibidong's head, they seized the opportunity to attack.
Blue Silver Bind immediately wrapped around the Spider Queen's spider legs.
Meanwhile, Lin Yongming activated his Dark Domain and unleashed the Thunder Spear and Thunder Wheel, two of the four minor skills from his fifth soul skill, Dark Heaven Wave Eye. He then swiftly moved to Bibidong's side.
Grabbing Bibidong by the waist, he teleported back to Blue Silver Emperor's side.
Lin Yongming knew that in the Spider Queen's Martial Soul Avatar state, Blue Silver Bind wouldn't hold for long.
"Dong'er, are you okay?" Lin Yongming asked urgently after letting go.
"Xiao Ming, I'm fine!" Bibidong replied.
"A martial soul innate domain! Damn it, how dare you interrupt me? Fine, I'll deal with you two first." The Spider Queen, having broken free from Blue Silver Bind, recognized the darkness as Lin Yongming's doing.
Furious, the Spider Queen immediately charged at Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor.
"Blue Silver Domain: Entangle!" Blue Silver Emperor didn't want her to get close so easily.
Within the range of the Blue Silver Domain, countless Blue Silver Grass vines appeared, entangling the Spider Queen.
"The Blue Silver Grass martial soul also has an innate domain! Have I been secluded for too long?" The Spider Queen was speechless as she saw the overlapping domains of darkness and green.
But she didn't stop her attacks. However, the Blue Silver Vines within the domain were endless.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Soul Devouring Death Light!" The Spider Queen unleashed her ten-thousand-year soul skill. A jade-green light, like ripples, spread outward. The Blue Silver Vines withered upon contact instead of being shattered.
"Huh?" Blue Silver Emperor was startled.
"Prepare to die! Crescent Slash!" A perfect crescent arc formed as the Spider Queen leaped toward Blue Silver Emperor.
It turned out Crescent Slash could be used for both area and single-target attacks.
"You think you can hurt my Ah Yin? Dream on! Fourth Soul Skill: Unmoving Bright King Formation!" Lin Yongming appeared in front of Blue Silver Emperor, creating a thunderous formation that immobilized the Spider Queen in mid-air.
"This is my chance!" Sensing her immobilization, Lin Yongming knew this was his opportunity.
"Killing Intent Wave, Frustration Will, Wave Imprint!" At this moment, Lin Yongming activated all his passive skills, boosting his attack power to unprecedented levels.
"Dark Heaven Wave Eye!" The Dark Domain had been building up for this very moment.
Within the Dark Domain, one red eye after another opened.
"Such a terrifying aura! How can a mere Soul Emperor emit such power?"
"Damn it, I can't move!" Trapped in the Unmoving Bright King Formation, the Spider Queen could only watch as the red eyes around her slowly opened.
"Break!" The Spider Queen, realizing her soul power was still functional, activated her eighth soul ring. With the immense soul power of a Soul Douluo, she forcefully broke free from the Unmoving Bright King Formation.
"Die! Eighth Soul Skill: Soul-Slaying Demon Scythe Light Blade!"
The Spider Queen's two front legs merged into one, forming a massive purple-green scythe. With a swing, a purple-green light swept down from the sky.
A nearly twenty-meter-long light blade slashed through Lin Yongming's Dark Domain, leaving a trail of white light.
"Dark Heaven Wave Eye, unleash!" Lin Yongming's soul power, having been building up, erupted at this moment.
"Second Soul Skill: Blue Silver Protection!"
"Sixth Soul Skill: Blue Silver Blessing!" Seeing the scale of the Spider Queen's attack, Blue Silver Emperor channeled all her soul power into Lin Yongming, fully supporting him.
"Fifth Soul Skill: Thousand Blades!" Despite the possibility that the Spider Queen might know about her parents, Bibidong instinctively assisted Lin Yongming and Blue Silver Emperor, attacking the Spider Queen.
Black, purple-green, green, and purple-black—four dazzling colors of soul power collided in an instant.
Boom!
The earth-shaking collision of energy echoed through the Hundred Insect Valley, dispersing the thick mist above.
Even the unstable rocks on the surrounding cliffs were shaken loose.
"Esteemed guests!" Hearing the commotion, Deacon Fang Yan and the others turned to look toward the Hundred Insect Valley.
"I hope you're safe!"
"Let's go, quickly! We need to get reinforcements."
After the explosion, as the soul power dissipated, the four of them lay on the ground, their clothes tattered and torn, revealing patches of skin.
The Spider Queen wasn't faring much better. The attack had not only broken her Martial Soul Avatar but also left her with numerous wounds.
"Cough, cough!" Lin Yongming, with his ice-fire tempered body, was the first to regain consciousness among the four. He coughed and slowly sat up.
"Ah Yin, Dong'er!" Remembering the others, Lin Yongming called out urgently.
When they didn't respond, he shook them. After about a minute, the Blue Silver Emperor, with her strong vitality and healing abilities, woke up.
"Xiao Ming, ouch... that hurts!" The Blue Silver Emperor's dazed eyes gradually cleared as she regained consciousness, wincing in pain.
"Is Dong'er still unconscious?" The Blue Silver Emperor looked at Bibidong.
Bibidong showed no signs of waking. Compared to the two, Bibidong seemed ordinary—she didn't have Lin Yongming's physique or the Blue Silver Emperor's powerful healing abilities.
"Cough, cough!" A cough drew Lin Yongming and the Blue Silver Emperor's attention.
About twenty meters away, the Spider Queen staggered to her feet.
"Well, well, I underestimated you."
"But now you're out of strength, right? Haha... in the end, I still came out on top. Prepare to die!" The Spider Queen, looking somewhat deranged, shouted at Lin Yongming and the others.
She took a few steps but then stumbled and fell face-first.
She realized her soul power had been completely drained in the earlier clash, and the side effects of using her Martial Soul Avatar had left her weak.
"Damn it!"
"Once I recover some soul power, I'll kill you all." The Spider Queen immediately sat down and began meditating to recover her soul power.
However, when it came to recovery, Blue Silver Emperor had never lost to anyone, not even a Title Douluo.
"Ah Yin, you meditate and recover your soul power first. I'll wake Dong'er," Lin Yongming instructed, knowing Blue Silver Emperor's capabilities.
"Alright!" Blue Silver Emperor nodded and immediately sat down, entering a meditative state to race against the Spider Queen.
In other words, whoever recovered their soul power faster would win.
But the Hundred Insect Valley was filled with Blue Silver Grass, all of which were Blue Silver Emperor's subjects. When the emperor was in trouble, help came from all directions.
This saying was perfectly exemplified by Blue Silver Emperor at this moment.
As the two meditated to recover their soul power, about ten minutes later, Lin Yongming finally managed to wake Bibidong.
"Xiao Ming, ouch!" Bibidong's eyes fluttered open, and the first thing she saw was Lin Yongming's worried face.
"Dong'er, are you okay?" Lin Yongming asked happily, hugging Bibidong.
"I'm fine. What about Sister Ah Yin? And the enemy? What are they doing?" Bibidong asked, looking at the two meditating figures.
Lin Yongming quickly explained what had happened.
"So that's what happened. You're out of soul power too?" Bibidong asked.
"Yeah," Lin Yongming nodded.
This time, Lin Yongming had used all his trump cards, and his soul power had been drained faster than ever. He couldn't even summon his Purple Lightning Wings now.
"I still have a bit of soul power left. I can summon my second martial soul, the Devouring Soul Spider Emperor. It has an innate ability to absorb wandering soul power, restoring half of my soul power. This skill can only be used once every five days. It's my last trump card," Bibidong said as she stood up.
"What about her? Doesn't she have the same ability since she also has the Devouring Soul Spider Emperor?" Lin Yongming asked, surprised.
"I don't know. Maybe she's already used it, or maybe it's because I have a twin martial soul that I have this ability. Otherwise, how could a single martial soul handle the energy of two?" Bibidong shook her head, unsure.
"That's good then. Dong'er, Ah Yin and I heard your conversation with her. You share the same martial soul, so there must be a connection. But don't forget, she's a fallen one, her hands stained with innocent blood," Lin Yongming said, sensing the complexity in Bibidong's tone.
"Xiao Ming, you noticed. But I know what to do. Let me ask her how she knows about me," Bibidong said, taking a deep breath.
"After all, this might be related to my origins. I don't want to live in confusion," Bibidong said firmly.
"I understand," Lin Yongming patted Bibidong's shoulder.
Bibidong nodded solemnly, switching from her Death Spider Emperor martial soul to her Devouring Soul Spider Emperor.
As Bibidong's Devouring Soul Spider Emperor possessed her, a dark green spider web pattern appeared on her forehead. A layer of crystalline dark green light spread from her body, and three pairs of new dark green spider legs emerged from her back.
The spider legs extended, and the surrounding soul power was drawn toward Bibidong, transforming into dark green light that flowed into her spider legs and then her body.
"So fast! As expected of Dong'er's trump card. She recovered half her soul power in an instant," Lin Yongming felt the surge of soul power from Bibidong, and even her injuries were completely healed.
The Spider Queen, sensing the familiar martial soul aura, opened her eyes and was stunned to see Bibidong's martial soul.
"Devouring Soul Spider Emperor! A twin martial soul!"
Blue Silver Emperor, hearing the exclamation, thought the Spider Queen had recovered her soul power and opened her eyes.
Bibidong, now with half her soul power restored, opened her eyes and walked toward the Spider Queen.
"Tell me, who are you? How do you know about me?" Bibidong pointed her six spider legs at the Spider Queen, her voice cold.
"A twin martial soul with both spider emperors! Good, very good!"
"Since your surname is Bi, your name must be Bibidong. My surname is Bai, and my name is Bai Qianxiao. My older sister is Bai Qianxue, and my brother-in-law is Bi Qiuran."
"Most likely, I am your aunt!"
"To think you inherited both their martial souls—Death and Devouring." Bai Qianxiao clutched her chest as she stood up and spoke slowly.
"No way! I'm just an orphan. My teacher is the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. How could I be the descendant of fallen ones?" Bibidong retorted emotionally.
"Everything else can be faked, but martial souls cannot. Besides, you know that the Death Spider Emperor and Devouring Soul Spider Emperor are among the most evil of spider-type soul beasts," Bai Qianxiao said calmly.
"Back then, we had given up everything and were living peacefully in a village because of your arrival. But fifteen years ago, when you were just two years old, Qian Xunji, who had recently become Pope, found us and killed my sister and brother-in-law."
"I managed to escape with my life thanks to their sacrifice, but I was left with these scars on my face. At the time, I was only a Soul King."
"I thought you had died too, but now that you're standing before me, it seems Qian Xunji took you back to Spirit City and raised you in an orphanage."
"If I'm not mistaken, he took you as his disciple because you awakened with a twin martial soul at the age of six."
"That would make you the famous Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, hailed as the most talented Holy Maiden in the history of the Spirit Hall."
"Haha... with you in the Spirit Hall, there's a chance to avenge my sister and brother-in-law." Bai Qianxiao sighed as she explained the past to Bibidong.
"No! That's impossible! Don't try to deceive me with your lies. I won't believe a single word from a fallen one."
"Defaming my teacher? Prepare to die!" Bibidong's eyes turned cold as her anger erupted. Without hesitation, her six spider legs stabbed toward Bai Qianxiao.
Bai Qianxiao's expression turned cold. Despite her weakened state, her reflexes as a Soul Douluo were still sharp. However, she couldn't dodge in time, and Bibidong's spider legs pierced her left arm.
