Chapter 31 Bibi Dong succeeds as Pope
Qian Daoliu looked at the silent Qian Renxue and knew that his granddaughter had already guessed.
"It seems you already know, Xiaoxue."
He sighed and said softly, "That's right. After discussions and voting among the elders and deans at this council of elders, the new pope has been chosen as the Holy Maiden, your mother, Bibidon."
Although Qian Renxue already knew the answer in her heart, her azure eyes still lit up instantly when she received confirmation from her grandfather.
Despite the discord between Qian Renxue and her mother Bibi Dong, she couldn't help but feel happy for her.
But the next moment she fell silent, her expression downcast, and her rosy lips uttered only a single word: "Oh."
Seeing this, Qian Daoliu sighed softly:
"Xiaoxue, do you still hate her? She is, after all, your mother."
Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's little face was filled with displeasure, and she refused to admit it: "Grandpa! She is not my mother."
"You know perfectly well that I almost died at her hands back then."
"What mother in the world could be so cruel to her own child?"
"I don't want to acknowledge her."
After saying that, Qian Renxue turned her head slightly away, her expression not very pleasant.
She remembered that incident again, something that still bothered her.
At the age of six.
She awakened the divine-level martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, with innate level 20 soul power.
Because she was disliked and even hated by her mother Bibi Dong since childhood, she was eager to surprise her mother after awakening her martial soul, thinking that she could gain her mother's approval.
What awaited her was Bibi Dong's murderous, ruthless attack, and a cold "Get lost!"
If Grandpa hadn't arrived in time to block the attack...
She felt she was going to die.
That chilling, bone-deep killing intent made her feel like she was in hell; she never wanted to experience that feeling again in her life.
From that moment on, Qian Renxue finally realized that her mother didn't like her at all, even hated her intensely, and wanted to kill her. It seemed that in her eyes, she was something dirty.
She didn't know why.
But she was disappointed and heartbroken.
Then Qian Renxue's love for Bibi Dong gradually turned into hatred.
The way Bibi Dong was addressed changed from "mother" to "elder sister" and then to "that woman".
"well--!"
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue and gently advised, "Xiaoxue, no matter what, she is still your biological mother. Grandpa hopes you won't hold a grudge."
"Grandpa, please don't speak up for her."
If it were anything else, she would do whatever her grandfather said.
The only exception is that woman.
"Xiaoxue will handle it herself..."
Qian Renxue's attitude was firm, but her voice gradually lowered as she spoke.
Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue's dejected expression and sighed silently in his heart:
"Actually, she's a pitiful person too. It's your father... never mind, let's just let things take their course."
In the end, Qian Daoliu didn't say much, deciding to spend as much time as he could with his granddaughter and try to heal her emotional wounds.
But in fact, Qian Renxue also had the idea of repairing her relationship with Bibi Dong.
Now that her father has been killed, she has lost him.
Grandpa has been busy dealing with the affairs of the Spirit Hall all day long, and hasn't had much time for her lately.
All she has left is her mother.
She also longed for her mother's love.
Qian Daoliu's persuasion did have some effect; Qian Renxue was somewhat tempted and was considering whether to give that woman another chance.
She then remembered that the woman had recently taken on an apprentice named Hu Liena.
Unexpectedly, that woman treated her so well, completely different from how she treated her. It was like night and day.
Qian Renxue thought that woman was naturally cold and ruthless, but she didn't expect that she had another side.
But why can't we share some of that love with ourselves, even just a tiny bit?
Qian Renxue felt resentment, jealousy, and envy towards this.
The resentment was directed at that woman, who had never shown him even a sliver of love.
Jealousy and envy are directed at Hu Liena, who can win that woman's favor.
Am I inferior to Hu Liena?
No, that's impossible. I'm no worse than anyone else.
Qian Renxue's small hands clenched into fists beneath her golden skirt, tightly.
…………
Two months passed in the blink of an eye.
Today, the streets of Wuhun City are deserted as everyone flocks to see it.
Almost 99% of the people flocked towards the central mountain of Wuhun City to witness the coronation of the new pope.
The news that Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, is about to be crowned Pope is now common knowledge.
at this time.
The area in front of the Papal Palace is guarded by Holy Royal Warriors.
The Spirit Hall Avenue, which extends all the way to the foot of the central mountain, is guarded by the Holy Temple Warriors.
The atmosphere was solemn and dignified.
The square in front of the Papal Palace was packed with people.
Everyone who can come here is a person of considerable status and position.
In front of the Papal Palace, beneath a giant six-winged angel statue.
On the huge balcony.
Today's papal coronation ceremony was personally presided over by Golden Crocodile Douluo, the second enshrined master of the Hall of Worship who has already made an appearance on the mainland.
When the auspicious time arrives.
"The coronation ceremony of the Pope of the Spirit Hall officially begins!"
With a loud shout, Jin E's voice was solemn and majestic. With the support of his powerful soul force, it instantly resounded throughout the entire square in front of the hall and quickly spread to the foot of the mountain and the entire Martial Soul City.
The enthusiasm of all the Soul Masters in Wuhun City was instantly ignited, with shouts rising and falling.
Amidst the intense scrutiny of the world.
Two elders from the Papal Palace were the first to step forward.
They wore crimson gowns adorned with gold and silver patterns, and jewels the size of a baby's fist embedded in their chests, exuding an air of luxury—a style reserved for titled Douluo.
These two are none other than Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei.
Under their protection.
Bibi Dong moved gracefully and walked out.
She wore a specially made, shimmering purple-gold papal gown.
The dazzling gown was embroidered with gold thread patterns, sparkling with precious stones, and inlaid with more than a hundred red, blue, and gold gemstones.
The dress fit her perfectly from head to toe.
In addition, Bibi Dong's fair skin and near-perfect appearance made her stand out from the crowd.
With a swaying motion, Bibi Dong arrived in front of Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Following the ceremony, she first bowed, then lowered her head slightly, allowing the golden crocodile to place the radiant nine-curved purple-gold crown, symbolizing the papacy, on her head.
Then, he took from the golden crocodile a scepter about two meters long, inlaid with countless gems, symbolizing the authority of the Pope.
Bibi Dong turned around, facing the square in front of the Papal Palace. The bottom of her papal scepter fell to the ground, creating an invisible ripple.
bite--!
A crisp sound rang out.
The sound traveled far with the ripples, instantly silencing the shouts that were rising and falling, and the scene fell silent.
"Today, I, Bibi Dong, by the mandate of Heaven and in accordance with the will of the people, formally assume the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall!"
