Douluo Continent: Twin Angels, Heartless Rakshasa

The Elders' Hall, second floor study.

A blonde girl rested her elbows on the desk, flipping through a book meant for leisure.

"Where did Grandpa go today? Why can't we find him in the Elder Hall?"

The girl swung her legs, her voice filled with confusion.

"sister!"

The study door was suddenly pushed open, and the person who came in was Qian Renchen, who had just returned from the secret room.

Qian Renxue pursed her lips and teased, "Achen, it's rare to see you in the study. Don't you usually dislike reading?"

"I don't like reading because I've already learned all the useful knowledge from books."

Qian Renchen smiled and walked to her side.

A delicate fragrance wafted into my nostrils.

His heart was as still as a deep well, and he simply placed his hand on her shoulder.

Qian Renxue pouted, her cheeks puffing out slightly. "Hmph, bragging."

Why don't we tell her what happened earlier and see what happens...?

Qian Renchen's eyes darted around, then he leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Sister, there's something I want to tell you."

Qian Renxue turned to meet her younger brother's eyes and asked, "Speak, what is it?"

"My father is dead. He died in a secret chamber in the Papal Palace. My mother killed him."

Qian Renchen said calmly.

It was as if this matter had nothing to do with him at all.

"What did you say? Ah Chen, you can't just make jokes like that."

Qian Renxue turned around, her face tense, one hand gripping his wrist tightly.

This younger brother occasionally likes to make jokes, and sometimes those jokes go too far. As his older sister, she's long been used to it.

What he said this time was frightening, but it might just be some kind of hellish joke.

Qian Renchen repeated, "Sister, Father really was killed by Mother."

"Dad is really dead?! Killed by... that woman Bibi Dong?"

Qian Renxue was struck dumb and rushed out of the study to confirm the truth of the matter.

As Qian Renchen chased after her, she said, "Sister, you have no idea how strong the smell of blood was in the secret room where Mother killed Father. I almost threw up yesterday's lunch."

Seeing that he spoke with such emotion, Qian Renxue believed him even more, and her face immediately became flustered.

When the siblings arrived at the entrance of the Papal Palace, they saw Qian Daoliu walking out.

"Grandpa, what are you doing here?" Qian Renxue paused, stunned.

Qian Daoliu was also taken aback to see the siblings there. "Xiao Chen, did you tell your sister about our parents?"

Before Qian Renchen could speak, Qian Renxue ran up to him and asked, "Grandpa, is what my brother said true?"

"This..." Meeting Qian Renxue's trembling, watery purple eyes, Qian Daoliu grasped her small hand, patted it gently, and hesitated:

"Xiaoxue, go back. Knowing too much won't do you any good for your cultivation."

Qian Renxue is different from Qian Renchen after all.

Learning at this point that her mother had devoured her father would truly become a shadow that haunted her for the rest of her life.

"No, I won't go back, I'm going to find that woman!" Qian Renxue shook off his large hand and rushed into the Papal Palace.

"Grandpa, I'm going too." Qian Renchen immediately followed.

"Sigh~ you two children." Qian Daoliu sighed softly, his tone filled with helplessness and melancholy.

The two had just burst into the Papal Palace when they bumped into Bibi Dong, who was coming out of a secret chamber.

"Why are you here?" Bibi Dong looked terrified when she saw Qian Renxue, and instinctively took a step back.

"Bibi Dong, I'm asking you, is Dad still alive?!"

Qian Renxue's eyes reddened as she rushed up to her, tilted her head back, and questioned her, word by word.

"Qian Xunji?" Bibi Dong suddenly laughed, meeting Qian Renxue's gaze with a maniacal laugh: "Hahaha...didn't you already know?"

"Qian Xunji is dead; I have devoured his soul and flesh!"

Hearing the murderer confess directly, Qian Renxue's pupils dilated, and her face went blank.

She staggered back two steps, fell to the ground, and tears streamed uncontrollably down her face.

"You crazy woman, why...why did you eat my father?!"

"Why? Hahaha..."

Bibi Dong slowly squatted down, lifted Qian Renxue's delicate chin with her fingertips, and roared:

"Then ask Qian Xunji why he raped me in the secret room?"

"How could he, as my teacher, act like a beast and forcibly possess his own disciple?! What?!"

"If it weren't for him, how could I have given birth to both of you!?"

"Rape?" Qian Renxue's mind went blank for a moment, her body stiffened, and she couldn't believe what she was saying.

Bibi Dong said coldly, "Don't you believe me?"

"Qian Renxue, why do you think I hate you so much?"

"Because of your existence, you are the most painful mark and shame of my life!"

"No, this isn't true! I have to ask Grandpa!" Qian Renxue scrambled to her feet, sobbing, and staggered out of the hall without looking back.

Gazing intently at her retreating figure, Bibi Dong felt as if something inside her had shattered, a pain so intense it was suffocating.

Qian Renchen glanced at her and then decided to leave the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong suddenly asked, "Why did you tell your sister about this?"

Qian Renchen said, "Our family lost a patriarch today. On such an important day, all family members must know."

"How could you keep this secret to yourself? What a selfish family member you are, Mother."

"You..." Bibi Dong's eyebrows shot up, her face contorted with anger: "Shut up!"

"Didn't you tell me to answer that? Why are you telling me to shut up now?"

Qian Renchen's tone was light and cheerful.

Suddenly, a pair of angel wings sprouted from his back, and he floated around the dome of the hall, facing the dome with his back to the ground.

"I really want to kill you!" Bibi Dong clenched her fists, her voice squeezed out through clenched teeth.

"Hehe, please dig out my heart." Qian Renchen said with a grin.

Bibi Dong remained silent for a long while before saying, "I really don't know why I gave birth to a little monster like you."

"Are you praising me?" Qian Renchen smiled.

"Just take it as a compliment."

Bibi Dong sighed, "You're already six years old, which is the age for you to go to school."

"I will arrange for someone to take you to the Spirit Hall Academy tomorrow."

"Go ahead and wreak havoc on the students at the academy, don't bother me anymore."

"Perhaps, interacting with more people at the academy will allow you to regain the emotions you've been missing..."

Qian Renchen asked, "The Spirit Hall Academy? Is that place interesting?"

"There are many children your age there; it might be an interesting place for you."

……

After bidding farewell to Bibi Dong, Qian Renchen slowly walked out of the Papal Palace, catching a glimpse of his grandfather, Qian Daoliu, hiding outside the palace to protect him.

As Qian Daoliu walked towards him, he asked, "Xiao Chen, what did Bibi Dong say to you?"

"She said she's going to send me to the Spirit Hall Academy tomorrow," Qian Renchen answered truthfully.

go to school?

Qian Daoliu frowned slightly, not expecting Bibi Dong to say such things to her eldest grandson.

"Is there a problem?"

"It's nothing, going to school is good, you can learn this."

Perhaps spending more time with peers can awaken some of the missing empathy.

Qian Daoliu met his grandson's gaze and silently prayed in his heart.
