Douluo Dalu: The Goddesses Know My Secrets

Chapter 487: Giving up the Heaven Dou Empire, Just to Call Her Mom Face to Face

  • Next Chapter

Spirit City, Supreme Pontiff Palace.

Deep inside the magnificent and solemn Gothic architecture, the dazzling gold and jade exuded a suffocating aura of solemn killing intent.

Sunlight pierced through the colored glazed flower windows suspended high on the dome, casting mottled light spots on the white marble floor tiles in the center of the main hall.

Bibi Dong leaned against the purple-gold Supreme Pontiff throne, her posture lazy and noble.

The black gold-stamped Supreme Pontiff robe spread out casually, her slender and straight legs gently crossed, outlining a breathtakingly perfect curve.

On that peerless, stunning face capable of captivating all beings, the coldness and majesty of overlooking the world on usual days were rarely absent at this moment, replaced instead by a sincere and brilliant smile.

Between her jade-like, delicate fingertips, she was pinching a top-secret document just delivered via an eight-hundred-li urgent courier from the Heaven Dou Empire.

Densely recorded on the letter paper was detailed intelligence on the preliminary rounds and promotion matches of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

As for the trivial combat records of the other members of the Royal Fighting Team?

Bibi Dong didn’t even cast a glance out of the corner of her eye.

Her line of sight was nailed stubbornly from beginning to end to the name that made her fingertips slightly warm — — Lin Qingmo.

"This little bastard actually didn’t go on stage."

Bibi Dong murmured softly, her slender and delicate fingertips carrying a trace of obsession as she gently stroked the three words "Lin Qingmo" on the letter paper, her eyes so gentle it was nearly dangerous.

In her mind, she involuntarily envisioned the arrogant appearance of wantonly unleashing spirit power on the Spirit City arena in the future, trampling various Prodigy underfoot and rubbing them into the dust.

Just imagining that scene in her head made Bibi Dong feel that her heartbeat was abnormally fast.

What made her cheeks flush slightly with an eerie crimson was her anticipation of soon revealing her identity.

Thinking of those nights, Bibi Dong’s breathing suddenly became a bit hurried.

His warm fingers unintentionally brushed across her skin, stirring up bursts of chill and numbness;

And the warm airflow produced when whispering close to her ear almost completely burned away her sanity.

As the Supreme Pontiff high above, she controlled the authority of the world.

Yet she happened to sink into this dangerous tug-of-war named after a revered teacher, but in reality taboo and blazing.

That twisted possessiveness of being wholeheartedly attached to by the youth and wanting to completely make the youth her own spread wildly within her chest.

Bibi Dong’s face was flushed, but the corners of her mouth couldn’t stop curling upward, outlining a peerlessly beautiful and sincere smile.

This smile was like a spring breeze blowing open the frozen river surface, instantly diluting the depression accumulated for many years inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

However, this trace of tenderness did not last long.

When Bibi Dong turned the confidential letter to the last page.

That charming smile gradually vanished into thin air.

Replaced by it were two deeply knitted delicate brows.

She frowned because of an earlier matter.

Just after returning from Sea God Island, her first task was to synchronize all the disturbances on the continent.

As a result, right at the start, she ate a heaven-shaking piece of gossip.

Heaven Dou EmpireCrown PrinceXue Qinghe suddenly died a violent death, and the whole country mourned!

Such ghost stories could only fool those onlookers in Heaven Dou City.

Others might not know who Xue Qinghe was, but how could she, the Supreme Pontiff, not know?

The so-called Xue Qinghe was simply disguised by Qian Renxue!

She actually played a trick of "feigning death to escape"?

Qian Renxue would die?

Pure fantasy!

This could only explain one truth: Qian Renxue herself actively abandoned the readily available Heaven Dou Empire!

"What on earth does she want to do?"

Bibi Dong’s eyes gradually surged with bursts of chill, her nails digging deeply into the armrest of the throne.

Giving up the Heaven Dou Empire, where could Qian Renxue go?

She must have crawled back to the Enshrinement Hall, cowering behind that immortal old fogey Qian Daoliu!

But why on earth was this?

Could it be that those old bones in the Enshrinement Hall plotted some conspiracy behind her back?

Or was this girl Qian Renxue preparing to aim her spearhead at herself and come to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to stir up trouble?

Thinking of that evil seed who flowed with the same Bloodline as herself, yet was born as the extension of her own nightmare, every single cell of Bibi Dong’s body was exuding vigilance and repulsion.

Truly, whatever one fears comes.

"Tap, tap, tap..."

A steady yet somewhat hesitant sound of footsteps abruptly sounded outside the gates of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

The sound spread inward along the empty corridor, exceptionally crisp.

Bibi Dong’s pupils suddenly shrank to the size of needle tips.

Her gaze abruptly pierced toward the direction of the gate.

What is she here to do?!

The heavy gilded doors were slowly pushed open by a surge of spirit power.

Dazzling sunlight poured in from the gaps, drawing out a tall and slender figure.

Treading on the light, Qian Renxue stepped step by step into this Supreme Pontiff Palace that she rarely set foot in.

She had changed out of the Crown Prince’s regular attire she had disguised in for many years, and put back on a pure white, form-fitting court dress.

Golden long hair draped over her rounded shoulders like a waterfall, setting off that flawless, peerless face to appear even more sacred.

However, beneath Qian Renxue’s seemingly calm exterior, her delicate body hidden within the long sleeves was trembling slightly.

Before coming to the Supreme Pontiff Palace,

Qian Renxue had already built up her psychological defenses countless times in her sleeping quarters in the Enshrinement Hall.

She had practiced her opening lines facing the empty air in front of the mirror for a full two hours, admonishing herself over and over again.

This time, she came with sincerity.

She came to cut off those ridiculous estrangements of the past, and she absolutely could not back down!

However,

The moment Qian Renxue raised her head, crossed the threshold, and met Bibi Dong’s gaze, all her psychological defenses collapsed instantly.

Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff throne, with no joy of reunion in her eyes.

It couldn’t even be considered mere indifference.

That was instinctive disgust, rejection like looking at something filthy, and extremely cold suspicion!

That glance was like a blunt knife, piercing fiercely along Qian Renxue’s ribs, stabbing her heart with a twitching, severe pain.

Her fingertips dug deeply into her palms, and fresh blood was almost about to seep out.

The intense pain made Qian Renxue’s feet as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

But after her toes rubbed in place for a few moments, Qian Renxue still gritted her teeth and straightened her spine.

She strode forward, facing the oppressive might surging toward her like a tide from Bibi Dong.

There is no turning back once the bow is drawn.

Today, she must make things clear!

"Qian Renxue."

Bibi Dong slowly stood up from the throne.

The Supreme Pontiff scepter in her hand knocked gently against the ground, producing a collision sound.

Her voice carried not a trace of temperature, like the gale of the Far North blowing across the main hall.

"Who gave you the guts to unilaterally suspend the plan to usurp the Heaven Dou Empire?"

"Spirit Hall has lurked for more than ten years and consumed countless resources. With a single word of feigning death, you hand over the entire Heaven Dou Empire on a silver platter?"

"What on earth do you want to do?"

"Or do you think your wings have hardened, and you ran to the Supreme Pontiff Palace to flaunt your cleverness?!"

Every word and sentence was full of questioning and suspicion.

There was not a single word of concern, nor had there ever been even a single question asking whether her process of feigning death went smoothly.

Of course, the most important thing was that she repelled seeing Qian Renxue.

She didn’t care at all how the Heaven Dou Empire fared, and only wanted Qian Renxue to disappear from before her eyes.

Qian Renxue stopped walking at a place ten steps away from Bibi Dong.

Listening to these harsh words by her ears,

Her eye sockets turned slightly red, but it was quickly suppressed by her with spirit power.

She looked at Bibi Dong high above, looking at that woman who gave her life but never gave her a trace of warmth.

Qian Renxue closed her eyes, her chest rising and falling violently.

She forced herself to catch her breath.

When she opened her eyes again, those golden eyes flashed with unprecedented determination and struggle.

"Mo... Mother."

Qian Renxue’s voice carried a trace of trembling, hoarse and stiff.

These two words seemed to exhaust all the strength in her entire body.

"I want... to talk with you."

This sound echoed in the main hall.

Bibi Dong, who was originally pressing step by step with her might fully unleashed, completely stiffened in front of the throne.

That address she thought she would never hear again in this lifetime heavily smashed into her heart without any warning.

"Mother..."

Bibi Dong’s eyes shrank abruptly, her pupils trembling violently.

On that face of hers that was always noble, cold, and glamorous, for the first time, she revealed unbelievable astonishment and trance-like daze.

Time seemed to flow backward at this moment.

Bibi Dong’s fingers frozen mid-air trembled slightly, looking at the daughter in front of her who had already grown taller than herself.

Her mind was completely blank.
