#9 - A smiling face bathed in blood, and a heart that aches!
Chapter 9: A Blood-Soaked Smile, A Throbbing Heart!
Watching Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue leave one after another.
Inside the Hall of Offerings, beneath the eaves.
Golden Alligator Douluo reminded Qian Daoliu beside him:
"Big brother, Xue'er and the others have gone again."
"Let them go, after all… she is still their mother."
Qian Daoliu sighed. How could he not want Bibi Dong to let go of her hatred?
He hoped that what his son had failed to do,
Qian Renjue and Qian Renxue could do it for him.
Golden Alligator Douluo was somewhat worried.
"But last time…"
"Rest assured, Guang Ling is secretly following this time, there won't be a repeat of last time's accident."
Qian Daoliu watched as a stream of light flashed across the sky.
It was Guang Ling Douluo, secretly following Qian Renxue and her younger brother.
...
Running to the mountainside, near the Papal Palace.
Qian Renjue suddenly sprinted and plunged headfirst into the bushes.
He rummaged wildly in the tangled weeds, like an upside-down onion.
"Jue!"
Qian Renxue followed, exerting a great deal of effort to pull Qian Renjue out.
"Jue, why didn't you listen to your sister…"
"Elder Sister, what kind of flower do you like? Jue will pick one for you next time."
Qian Renjue seemed not to have heard Qian Renxue's words.
He grabbed her sleeve, looked up at her with a grin, holding a pink carnation in his hand.
"Jue…"
Qian Renxue was slightly stunned.
Looking at Qian Renjue's dirty face, the words of scolding stuck in her throat.
She reached out and brushed away some of the dirt on Qian Renjue's head.
She said softly, "Sister doesn't like flowers, you don't need to pick them."
"Then Jue will definitely find a flower that Elder Sister likes in the future! And then give it to Elder Sister!"
Qian Renjue promised.
His mind was already thinking about the various immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
There must be something Qian Renxue would like in there!
"Okay, then sister will wait."
Qian Renxue smiled slightly and nodded.
She gripped the sword in her hand, took Qian Renjue's hand, and said in a gentle voice:
"Let's go, sister will go with you."
"That's great!"
Qian Renjue jumped up and down excitedly, hugged Qian Renxue's arm, and asked happily:
"Then does Elder Sister want to pick a flower too?"
"No need…"
Smelling the fragrance of the flower, Qian Renxue shook her head gently.
She was holding a sword and holding her younger brother, she couldn't hold anything else, and there was no need to.
"Okay then, let's hurry up, we didn't bring a water cup, the flowers will wilt in the sun."
"Jue, slow down!"
...
Not far from the Papal Palace.
In a quaint courtyard.
The rockery stood tall and rugged, with green moss. Clear springs trickled, shuttling and winding around the pavilions.
Outside the pavilion in the water, lotus flowers swayed and fish swam around the lotus stems.
This was the residence of Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
Since giving birth to Qian Renxue and her younger brother, Bibi Dong had regained her freedom.
At this time, she was sitting against a pavilion pillar.
She was wearing a purple casual dress, wrapping her well-developed figure.
Her hair was smooth and her skin was fair.
In her early twenties, she already possessed an almost perfect face.
Just sitting in the pavilion.
Her elegant and tranquil temperament made even the lotus flowers in the water pale in comparison.
She was holding a copy of 'Ten Great Theories'.
She flipped through it casually, but her mind was not on it at all.
Her purple eyes were slightly dim.
The corner of her eye glanced at the courtyard gate, at the nearly withered flowers lying on the ground.
Beside the withered branches was broken transparent glass.
The already dark purple flowers were still stained with mottled bloodstains…
Clearly visible!
Even after several days…
That scene kept swirling in her mind.
That innocent, blood-soaked smiling face made her feel a deep sense of palpitation.
She didn't dare to face it, couldn't look directly at it.
Even just thinking about it would cause her heart to throb!
That child that she slapped away…
How was he?
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, the book in her hand crumpled.
Swish!
The book in her hand was almost crumpled into a ball.
Bibi Dong looked at the traces of blood.
She couldn't help but fly forward and stand beside the withered flower.
Bloodstained…
The glass pierced his eyes, it was she who pushed him.
What did that child who knew nothing do wrong?
Standing beside it.
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with struggle and her expression was somewhat ferocious.
Her hand, bent over to pick up the withered branch, slowly stopped.
Her eyes were slightly red, it was all that beast's fault!
They were all that beast's children!
Just as Bibi Dong was immersed in resentment, a small head suddenly peeked out from the courtyard gate.
"Who is it?!"
Bibi Dong shouted sharply, her bent body turned her head to look.
Her eyes were filled with fierce light.
The soul power in her body surged, her hair and skirt moved without wind.
"Jue!"
Qian Renxue immediately pulled Qian Renjue behind her.
She retreated several steps.
Hearing Qian Renxue's voice, Bibi Dong's expression was slightly dazed.
Focusing her eyes to look.
What came into view…
Was Qian Renxue and her younger brother, whom she had met a few days ago.
Bibi Dong ignored Qian Renxue, who was holding a wooden sword and guarding against her.
She straightened up and stared intently at her back.
"Elder Sister?"
Qian Renjue poked his head out somewhat inexplicably, checking the situation.
Bibi Dong looked at that still-vibrant innocent face.
Her heart seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Jue!"
Feeling the emptiness behind her, Qian Renxue hurriedly tried to grab Qian Renjue, who had run over.
She quickly followed.
"Mommy, good morning!"
Qian Renjue smiled and ran towards Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong frowned as she watched, seeing that Qian Renjue was fine, she didn't say anything and turned to leave.
"Mommy, Jue is here to bring you flowers again."
Qian Renjue quickly came to the courtyard gate and shouted towards Bibi Dong.
"Shut up!"
Bibi Dong looked back and shouted sharply, her eyes already filled with disgust.
But she was dazzled by the bright pink color.
Qian Renxue followed behind, quietly watching Bibi Dong, hoping in her heart.
Qian Renjue stopped, not daring to overstep.
He asked cautiously, "Mommy, can Jue come in?"
"Don't call me Mommy!"
Bibi Dong hated this title… she loathed it!
It always reminded her of the fact that she had been defiled.
A look of disappointment flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes.
This scene was so similar to her previous life's experience.
Qian Renjue was slightly stunned.
Just as Qian Renxue was about to pull him away, a smile returned to his face.
He asked again, "Then pretty big sister, can Jue and Elder Sister come in?"
Bibi Dong looked at that smiling face.
Her heart panicked, it seemed to be filled with blood, like a dull knife cutting flesh.
She gritted her teeth and shouted:
"Get out! All of you get out! Get as far away as you can!"
After saying that, she turned and left without looking back.
The loud response behind her made her stop slightly.
"Okay!"
Qian Renjue agreed loudly.
Immediately after, he stepped into the courtyard gate and bent down to pick up the withered flower.
"Jue! Come back…"
Qian Renxue was shocked.
Bibi Dong at this time would not be soft-hearted at all.
It was already too late to stop him.
Hearing Qian Renxue's call, Bibi Dong quickly turned her head.
Seeing Qian Renjue running towards her.
Her face instantly turned gloomy.
Qian Renxue had also stepped into the courtyard gate.
Bibi Dong stared fixedly at Qian Renjue…
Unexpectedly, Qian Renjue ignored her, but went towards the corner…
To the stone flower bed that had completely withered and only had soil left, during her pregnancy.
He reached out and pried open the hard, caked soil.
He buried the withered flower in his hand in it, and inserted the pink carnation in his hand into the loosened soil.
Then he turned and ran towards the courtyard gate, wanting to leave.
Bibi Dong's eyes were slightly dazed, and Qian Renxue also stopped chasing.
When Qian Renjue ran past Bibi Dong with a smile.
He stopped.
He looked up at her quietly.
Identical purple eyes met.
Qian Renjue, who had cultivated and crawled through the bushes, looked a little untidy.
He was even a little dirty.
But the newly added scar at the corner of his left eye was still conspicuous.
The pure light in his smiling eyes…
Made Bibi Dong dare not look directly at him.
Her fingertips turned white, and the book in her hand was almost torn to shreds.
Dry characters came out of her lips.
"Get out!"
