Qian Renxue covered her mouth, tears streaming down her face.
She looked at the events playing out in the illusion, sobbing uncontrollably.
At long last, she understood why Bibi Dong had always hated her.
So this is how she ca into the world!
The Rakshasa God watched Qian Renxue's reaction and laughed."Yes, that's the reason Bibi Dong doesn't like you. You were never welco. You are the most painful reminder in her entire life. Your existence constantly reminds her of her own misfortune!"
Qian Renxue's expression beca dazed. In that mont, she felt the urge to simply give up on herself.
Dan Heng frowned. "Shut up."
The Rakshasa God still wanted to keep hamring away at Qian Renxue. She could see the rich Angel God bloodline flowing through the girl.
And naturally, for a god whose position opposed the Angel God's, she would love nothing more than to drag Qian Renxue down with her.
But Dan Heng's single rebuke struck her like lightning.An overwhelming sense of dread welled up from within her.
She glanced sideways at Dan Heng with a complicated expression and muttered,"Mister Dan Heng, you truly are... formidable..."
"Fine. I won't speak anymore. Let's just continue watching."
She turned her attention back to the illusion.
She couldn't afford to provoke Dan Heng. Though she was furious on the inside, she didn't dare to show it—and even forced a smile.
The scene changed.
Bibi Dong and "Dan Heng" were finally reunited.
Bibi Dong was full of self-loathing, but at the sa ti overwheld with joy. At last, she could be with the one she loved.
Qian Daoliu didn't interfere in the matter. He simply said he would take Qian Renxue away.
The once notorious executioner of Spirit Hall, now looked like an old man who wanted to retire peacefully. He was even willing to hand over Spirit Hall to Bibi Dong.
Of course, Bibi Dong couldn't wait to get rid of Qian Renxue so she could live alone with "Dan Heng."
But Qian Renxue didn't understand why her mother didn't want her.
She often ca down the mountain to find Bibi Dong.
In front of "Dan Heng," Bibi Dong could just barely restrain her temper and pretend to be gentle—but she wouldn't allow Qian Renxue to call her "Mother."
Every ti Qian Renxue appeared in front of her and "Dan Heng," she would feel a deep hatred—for this child was proof of her defilent.
Finally, one day, when "Dan Heng" was unwell and resting, Qian Renxue ca down the mountain to celebrate her birthday. In a careless mont, she knocked over Bibi Dong's dicine bowl.
In a fit of rage, Bibi Dong struck Qian Renxue with her soul power, sending her flying.
The child's wailing brought "Dan Heng" out of the sickroom.
"Mister Dan Heng, if it were you, what would you do?" the Rakshasa God asked.
Dan Heng frowned. "It's still not over?"
"Almost, almost!" said the Rakshasa God.
Dan Heng then gave his answer.
The Vidyadhara race rarely bore children.
So when they encountered them, they held a deep, quiet reverence and longing for them.
Qian Renxue stopped crying and looked at Dan Heng curiously.
The incident in the illusion had been a turning point in her life. It was after that day she finally gave up on ever having a mother-daughter bond with Bibi Dong—and shortly after, she went to the Heaven Dou Empire.
Of course, now in the real world, she understood that Bibi Dong had probably just learned about Yu Xiaogang's betrayal, which was why she had been taking her anger out on her.
In the vision—
"Dan Heng" hurriedly picked up Qian Renxue and asked Bibi Dong to summon a healing-type soul master to treat her injuries. Bibi Dong began to cry too, terrified that "Dan Heng" might think she had a bad temper.
"Dan Heng" took this chance to share his thoughts with her.
He liked Qian Renxue as a child, and he loved Bibi Dong. He had never harbored any resentnt because of Qian Renxue.
From then on, he lived up to his word and often went up the mountain to bring Qian Renxue down to spend ti together.
Qian Daoliu was more than happy to see this. After all, as an old man, he wasn't the best person to care for Qian Renxue.
Gradually, Bibi Dong let go of her resentnt.
She began to genuinely accept Qian Renxue.
At one point, she even wished Qian Renxue could take "Dan Heng's" surna—but was firmly rejected by both "Dan Heng" and Qian Daoliu.
"That's enough. How far do you intend to take this?" Dan Heng's brows were furrowed tightly. He'd already been here nearly half an hour.
He figured Gu Yuena must be waiting at ho for him to co back and rest.
He didn't want to waste any more ti.
Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with a hint of disappointnt. She had actually wanted to see more.
The life depicted in that illusion—if it had truly happened—would've been so blissful.
The Rakshasa God sighed. "Alright, alright. Mister Dan Heng, I'll keep my word..."
Suddenly, the story in the illusion took a sharp turn.
"Dan Heng," after waiting so many years, had pushed his body to the brink of death.
Just three years later, he reached the end of his life.
Bibi Dong, imrsed in her newfound happiness, didn't realize anything was wrong—until it was too late.
Because she had neglected her cultivation, she was still only at Rank 93.
Bibi Dong swore to reach godhood as quickly as possible—hoping to save "Dan Heng's" life.
She began cultivating day and night, desperate to beco a god before "Dan Heng" passed away.
During this ti, fifteen-year-old Qian Renxue took up the task of caring for "Dan Heng."
In less than three months, Bibi Dong's soul power rose by five full levels, reaching Rank 98!
But then—one day—Qian Renxue, face filled with sorrow, knocked on Bibi Dong's door...
...
The vision ended there.
The Rakshasa God sighed."If Bibi Dong had t soone like Mister Dan Heng back then, maybe things wouldn't have ended so tragically. It's hard to even believe this wasn't real. But now, at least she must understand—her tragedy was caused by the wrong man. On behalf of that foolish woman, I thank you."
The Rakshasa God bowed slightly, smiling.
"If there's nothing else, then I'll take my leave..."
Dan Heng didn't pay her any more attention and turned to go.
Qian Renxue quickly followed him. Tonight, she had revealed her real face—she needed to find a way to put her disguise back on!
She couldn't linger here!
The two of them left in a hurry.
As they vanished, the Rakshasa God's smile slowly faded, and a trace of resentnt flickered in her eyes.
She was no saint!
Dan Heng had humiliated her again and again. She hadn't retaliated—not because she didn't want to—but because she knew she wasn't his match.
But that didn't an she would take it lying down!
Now that Dan Heng was gone, it was ti for her to strike back.
"So you didn't want to use your face? Then I'll definitely use it! Not only will I use it—I'll do the one thing you'd hate most!"
The Rakshasa God sneered coldly. With a wave of her hand, the image of "Dan Heng" in the illusion reappeared—with Dan Heng's exact face restored.
She turned into a wisp of red smoke and entered the vision once more.
The illusion instantly turned into a scene of seduction and desire.
"Dan Heng" and Bibi Dong, reunited at last without any obstacles, finally consummated their long-overdue feelings—And the Rakshasa God, disguised as Dan Heng, took what she had long planned...
What followed were a series of increasingly steamy images.
In the air, the illusion of Bibi Dong turned flushed pink, moaning in pleasure.
-----------------------
Outside the hall.
Dan Heng and Qian Renxue left in a hurry, not even exchanging a word with Yu Xiaogang and Hu Liena who were waiting outside.
Hu Liena had just opened her mouth to ask about the situation inside—
But their figures had already vanished from the doorway.
"..." Hu Liena's face showed an expression of unwillingness.
Yu Xiaogang, seeing this, his eyes flickered with calculation.
Concern clouds judgnt. While Hu Liena couldn't make sense of it, he realized sothing—although the two had left hastily, Qian Renxue's face held a hint of relief.
That ant the situation inside must have improved significantly.
Yu Xiaogang said, "Nana, I know what you're thinking. You want to save Bibi Dong so you can earn so credit, right? Don't worry. Even though the relationship between and her is long gone, and I have no feelings left, Bibi Dong is still deeply infatuated with . Once I go in and untangle the knot in her heart, the Spirit Hall will owe a huge favor!"
"At that ti, I'll demand they clear my na. Maybe they'll even arrange for us... for us..."
As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang blushed slightly, gazing at Hu Liena with a lovesick expression, imagining winning her over!
But Hu Liena had no patience to listen to his nonsense. She walked to the hall doors and was just about to push them open—
When a burst of joyful cries rang out from inside.
Hu Liena had never made such sounds herself, but she knew exactly what they ant.
If her teacher still had the mind to be doing that, then she must have already recovered—and was even full of energy.
Her own face turned red!
Teacher, seriously! Don't you care about appearances at all?!
"Who's in there with her? Why would Teacher be like that...?"
Hu Liena's face was flushed as she speculated in her mind.
Yu Xiaogang, anwhile, had still been boasting about how Bibi Dong was obsessed with him. Hearing the sounds from inside, his face darkened instantly. Wasn't this just a direct slap in the face?!
And Bibi Dong—what a shaless woman!
Doing sothing so indecent inside the great hall, knowing full well he was outside?
Did she not care if people heard?
The more he thought about it, the more furious he got. He felt that not being with Bibi Dong had been the best decision of his life.
"Nana! If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave!"
Yu Xiaogang said angrily.
But Hu Liena wasn't interested in wasting words on him. She didn't even acknowledge him—just waved her hand to show she'd heard.
Yu Xiaogang opened his mouth, his face black with anger.
He thought Hu Liena was becoming just as unpleasant—she used to dote on him all the ti!
He gave a deliberately loud snort and stord off, making his footsteps extra loud.
But Hu Liena never once turned to look at him.
Inside the great hall.
Bibi Dong awakened with the corners of her mouth lifted in a soft smile.
As she opened her eyes and noticed the state of her body, her face imdiately flushed—even redder than before.
She quickly got off the ground, picked up her storage soul tool from the floor, and pulled out a purple dress to drape over herself. Her legs went weak, and she had to sit down on the throne.
Her chest heaved with ragged breaths. This had been exhausting for her too.
What's more, the rush of blood surging through her veins made her dizzy.
"You... what did you do to ?!"
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, glaring at the Rakshasa God in front of her.
The Rakshasa God chuckled lightly and asked, "What an ungrateful wolf you are, Bibi Dong! If it weren't for , you would've completely given up on yourself! And now you're accusing ? Think about it—what are your mories like now?"
"My mories..."
Bibi Dong was montarily stunned, falling into silence as she tried to recall.
Soon, a brand new set of mories surged through her mind.
Two completely different lives began to intertwine in her mory.
Her real life, which her subconscious refused to accept—and the other life, the one with "Dan Heng," which she now preferred to believe was real.
The clash of mories drained the color from her face, and beads of sweat began to appear on her forehead.
She clutched her head and groaned faintly, her eyes going blurry.
Her thoughts beca increasingly chaotic.
One mont, it was her true-life experiences with Yu Xiaogang.
The next, it was the unforgettable love and protection she shared with "Dan Heng."
The more she recalled, the more confused she beca.
"Pffft...!!"
Bibi Dong suddenly coughed up a small mouthful of blood.
She looked like she was drunk, swaying unsteadily.
"I... Yu Xiaogang, Dan Heng..."
She clutched her head, utterly lost. The more she tried to rember, the more disoriented she beca.
But at least—she was no longer drowning in despair.
Instead, a new problem had arisen.
She couldn't quite distinguish between reality and illusion anymore...
One mont, she wore a sorrowful frown, full of hatred.
The next, she showed a gentle smile of happiness...
Elsewhere, at a street corner.
Dan Heng and Qian Renxue parted ways.
Qian Renxue's eyes were red as she looked at Dan Heng and softly said thanks. Her mouth opened as if to speak, but there was too much to say—and she didn't know how to begin.
She had accidentally revealed her identity to Dan Heng.
She wasn't the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire. She wasn't even a man.
She was a mysterious woman from Spirit Hall!
She had no idea what Dan Heng would think of her now.
And stranger still—she began to question Dan Heng's identity too. Could he really be just an ordinary man?
After all, the Rakshasa God who appeared beside Bibi Dong was a real deity.
Yet that god treated Dan Heng with the utmost respect—even showing so fear.
Just one sentence from Dan Heng had made the Rakshasa God stop toying with her.
Could Dan Heng be... a god too?
Qian Renxue was filled with questions.
Dan Heng had just saved Bibi Dong. In the alternate mory she'd seen, Dan Heng had even beco her stepfather.
She could no longer look at him the sa way.
The more she thought about it, the more complicated her feelings beca.
"Mr. Dan Heng, I... I'll head back now. Thank you..."
Dan Heng gave a soft grunt in response—he didn't have as many thoughts as she did.
Right now, he just wanted to go ho.
Bibi Dong's tragic life experience made him treasure his life with Gu Yuena even more.
At Moon Pavilion.
Tang Xiao once again kicked open the window and burst in.
Tang Yuehua erged from her room, exasperated. "Brother, how many tis have I told you—use the front door!"
"You couldn't possibly be—"
She stopped mid-sentence.
Because Tang Xiao was grinning from ear to ear.
Tang Yuehua blinked. "What happened? Big brother, did sothing great happen?"
Tang Xiao burst into hearty laughter and shouted excitedly, "It's more than just great, little sister! I'm about to lose my mind with happiness! Spirit Hall—they're splitting up! Hahaha..."
