#43 - Not good, never again
Outside the courtyard gate.
Qian Renxue stared wide-eyed at the white-haired Qian Renjue.
Filled with anger, disappointment, and many other emotions.
She was just about to step forward when—
—Bibi Dong's panicked and hurried voice came from inside.
"Jue, quickly, quickly undo it."
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with panic and glistening with tears as she cradled Qian Renjue's face.
Her face was filled with helplessness and regret.
Her voice trembled.
"Jue, Mommy doesn't want to see it."
"Oh."
Qian Renjue's reply was as calm as still water.
He leisurely deactivated his martial soul, slowly returning to his original appearance.
Golden hair, purple eyes… indifferent.
Bibi Dong frantically held his tender face, wondering why he was still so cold!
"Jue, how are you? Are you alright…"
"I'm fine."
Qian Renjue was conscious.
He just couldn't feel or express any emotions… yet he still asked.
"Mommy, is it pretty?"
That icy voice felt like a knife stabbing into Bibi Dong's heart.
Her eyes turned red, and her voice was tinged with sobs.
"No… it's not pretty…"
Bibi Dong's heart ached with regret as she pulled Qian Renjue into her arms.
She held him tightly, as if trying to warm him up again.
Her delicate body trembled as she murmured with sobs.
"Jue, don't be like this, it's Mommy's fault…"
The martial soul possession only lasted a few breaths.
The faint blood rings in Qian Renjue's eyes disappeared without a trace, and he reached out to return Bibi Dong's embrace.
He softly called out:
"Mommy."
"Jue!"
Bibi Dong quickly got up, cradling Qian Renjue's face, extremely excited.
"Mommy… Jue is alright now."
Qian Renjue smiled gently at Bibi Dong and snuggled into her arms.
"It's alright? That's great."
Bibi Dong was slightly dazed, then filled with joy and tears.
She hugged Qian Renjue tightly.
Filled with guilt and lingering fear.
She choked up and said, "I'm sorry, Jue, it's all Mommy's fault."
Qian Renjue looked up.
Touching Bibi Dong's icy beautiful face, he carefully said:
"Mommy, can you not scare Jue with your killing intent in the future?"
"I'm sorry! Mommy will never do it again."
"Really… never again!"
Bibi Dong repeated this over and over.
Her guilt and debt to Qian Renjue, and her self-condemnation.
Caused hot tears to well up in her beautiful eyes.
"Never again, Mommy promises!"
"Thank you, Mommy!"
Qian Renjue hugged Bibi Dong's neck tightly, even sitting on her lap.
Bibi Dong just held him tightly… filled with lingering fear.
Qian Renjue touched Bibi Dong's face.
Softly comforting, "Mommy, don't cry, Jue has already recovered."
"Okay, Mommy won't cry…"
Bibi Dong sniffled, her eyes red, but she couldn't stop the tears.
"Mommy…"
Qian Renjue smiled, hugging Bibi Dong's snow-white neck, gently tugging.
"Jue…"
Bibi Dong obediently bent down slightly, leaning over.
A bit of warm tenderness…
Touched Bibi Dong's wet eyes, slowly picking up those tears.
"…"
Bibi Dong's eyes were blank as she stared at Qian Renjue.
A slight blush returned to her pale beautiful face.
"Haha!"
Qian Renjue looked at Bibi Dong, who had stopped crying, sitting in her arms.
Smiling, he tilted his face, pointing to it.
Looking forward to it, he said:
"Today is Jue's birthday, can Mommy also kiss Jue?"
"Okay…"
Bibi Dong came back to her senses.
With a sense of guilt, her voice was soft.
Looking at Qian Renjue's smiling face coming over.
Her eyes were as gentle as water.
She slowly leaned over and kissed that tender face.
"Hehe…"
The warm breath and cool lips made Qian Renjue feel itchy and happy.
Bibi Dong looked up at her child.
Her red lips slightly opened.
"Happy birthday… Jue."
"Thank you! Thank you, Mommy!"
Qian Renjue happily hugged Bibi Dong's delicate body, resting in her arms.
Constantly twisting his body, extremely excited.
Bibi Dong just quietly watched, her arms filled with warmth.
Her chin rested on Qian Renjue's hair.
Her arms gently wrapped around him.
As if sensing something, she raised her eyes and looked outside the courtyard.
There was nothing there.
Qian Renjue in her arms suddenly wanted to leave, and Bibi Dong couldn't help but try to keep him.
"Jue…"
"Mommy, this is a gift from Jue to you."
Qian Renjue didn't leave, but turned around and picked up the box on the table.
He also wanted to stay here a little longer.
"A gift?"
Bibi Dong looked curiously at the box.
She still remembered the gift Qian Renjue gave her last time.
That night…
She held Qian Renjue in her arms like this.
"Yes, this gift is called 【Ice Heart Exquisite Pendant】. It's very beautiful."
Qian Renjue nodded.
Saying that, he opened the simple box, and the 'bird droppings' inside had undergone a great change.
A crystal clear water droplet shape.
Quietly lying in the box, like pure and flawless dew.
Each part of the chain was a small long rhombus, connected to each other.
Like stars dotted in the night sky.
Somewhat magical…
At this time, the sky was twilight, making it easier to see its beauty.
Qian Renjue took out the pendant and pulled it open in front of Bibi Dong.
Smiling, he asked:
"Mommy, what do you think? Is it pretty!"
Bibi Dong glanced at the pendant, then raised her eyes to look at Qian Renjue.
She didn't expect…
That the thing Qian Renjue had been tinkering with was actually a gift for her.
She nodded slightly, her voice hoarse.
"It's very pretty, Mommy likes it very much."
"Mommy likes it? Then let Jue help you put it on himself, okay?"
"Okay."
Qian Renjue happily raised his hand, and Bibi Dong cooperated by lowering her head slightly.
The chain wasn't long.
The pendant just hung slightly below the collarbone.
The magnificent treasure light was eye-catching, and the cool touch made one's mind clear…
"Haha… Mommy has become more beautiful."
Qian Renjue carefully looked at her, very satisfied with his craftsmanship.
"Thank you, Jue."
Bibi Dong gently stroked the smoothness, looking at Qian Renjue with increasingly gentle eyes.
"Yeah."
Qian Renjue nodded heavily.
Then he instructed, "Mommy must promise Jue, you can't take it off."
"Mommy promises you, I will always wear it."
Bibi Dong responded seriously.
"You can't lie to Jue…"
"I won't lie to you."
As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Qian Renjue hugged her and leaned over to kiss the corner of her lips.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully conveying great love! (Object: Bibi Dong)]
[Reward: First Soul Ring's age increased by 300 years!]
The system's new reward mechanism made Qian Renjue pause slightly.
He gently touched for a moment, then separated.
Bibi Dong stared blankly at Qian Renjue… her lips seemed to have a bit more sweetness.
"Mommy, Jue wants to go back and have dinner with Big Sister."
Qian Renjue reluctantly hugged Bibi Dong, nuzzling against her.
Then he wanted to leave her warm embrace.
"Okay."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, gently letting go.
"Goodbye, Mommy… Jue and Big Sister will come again tomorrow!"
Qian Renjue looked happy, standing outside the pavilion, saying goodbye to Bibi Dong.
He turned and trotted away quickly.
Bibi Dong sat in her original position, watching Qian Renjue running away, feeling a little dazed.
She touched her lips, touched her abdomen…
The warmth just now was gradually disappearing.
Not scattering with the wind, but permeating into her body, taking root in her heart…
Qian Renjue stepped out of the gate, gradually moving away.
The figure of Qian Renxue, who was hiding outside, also appeared at this time.
She stepped into the courtyard…
I wish everyone a happy life!
