Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 156 Mother and Daughter Resolve Their Heart-to-Heart Conflict

When Qian Renxue heard Bibi Dong say this, she immediately felt very inadequate. This little guy was only 14 years old and had already reached level 50. It was terrifying.

"So what? His martial soul is just a healing-type martial soul, with no combat power. How can it compare to my six-winged angel martial soul?"

Qian Renxue said proudly, in her opinion, there was no martial soul on the entire continent that could compare to her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.

"Yes, you're right. You're amazing. Your Angelic Martial Soul is invincible. I'm just an ordinary healing-type Soul Master." Ye Liangchen spread his hands, too lazy to argue with Qian Renxue.

"Pfft...!"

Bibi Dong couldn't help but giggle as she looked at Qian Renxue's ignorant yet arrogant demeanor. However, she didn't mention that Ye Liangchen's martial soul was superior to Qian Renxue's, fearing that the girl might tell Qian Daoliu and cause the old man to have wild thoughts.

"Bibi Dong, what are you laughing at? Am I wrong?" Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong with a haughty expression.

"It's nothing, I just remembered something happy. Qian Renxue, you're right, Xiao Chen's martial soul is a healing-type martial soul, which can't compare to your powerful six-winged angel martial soul." Bibi Dong followed Ye Liangchen's words and joined in to fool Qian Renxue.

"Ye Liangchen, what is your martial soul? Your spirit rings are so old, do you even have any combat power? Use your martial soul and fight me."

"And what skills did you use before?"

Qian Renxue came to her senses and remembered that the little guy had neutralized her attack in one move. She felt that she had been fooled by Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen.

"You've already said my martial soul is healing-type, how can I fight you? If I win, wouldn't it make your number one martial soul in the world lose face?"

Ye Liangchen spread his hands, thinking: Your mother is here, and she hasn't said a word. How could I dare to fight you?

"Swish..."

"Ye Liangchen, summon your martial spirit and fight me. Bibi Dong said you are excellent, so I have to test your strength."

Qian Renxue summoned her six-winged angel martial soul, which was yellow, purple, and black, and its five soul rings lit up as she challenged Ye Liangchen.

"Xiao Chen, go ahead and hit her. Give my proud daughter a good lesson," Bibi Dong reminded from the side.

"Godmother, I'll hit her then, but you can't hit me if she cries!"

"Don't worry! How could I bear to hit you? Hit me all you want. My proud daughter is very arrogant. Let her see what it means to be someone who is better than you."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen was still concerned about her feelings, Bibi Dong smiled and told the little guy to act without worry.

"That's enough for you two."

Qian Renxue couldn't take it anymore. Feeling looked down upon, she charged directly at Ye Liangchen.

"First Soul Skill, Angel Assault."

Qian Renxue's fist condensed a golden light and blasted towards Ye Liangchen.

"Swish..."

Seeing Qian Renxue's aggressive approach, Ye Liangchen immediately activated the Five Elements Bewildering Steps to avoid her attack wave, and then launched his first soul skill to retaliate.

"First Soul Skill: Life Strangulation"

"Swish..."

A dozen long, sturdy, emerald-green strips shot out from her hands, instantly binding Qian Renxue into a rice dumpling.

"Ye Liangchen, you big liar! You're not a healing-type Soul Master at all! You're clearly a battle Soul Master!"

"Angel's Protection"

Qian Renxue was currently entangled by more than a dozen long, hard strips, so she immediately used her third soul skill to protect herself and shake off the brittle green strips.

"Angel Wings"

"Click...click..."

Then he activated his second soul skill, with small, blade-like wings circling around his body, severing those brittle green strips.

Ye Liangchen was not surprised at all when he saw Qian Renxue break his first soul skill attack.

"Angels Descend"

Qian Renxue immediately activated her fourth soul skill, attacking Ye Liangchen.

"Huff huff..."

Suddenly, an angelic war god with six golden wings on his back descended from the sky and attacked Ye Liangchen.

Fourth Soul Skill, Life Thorn

"Swish...bang..."

Ye Liangchen's fourth soul ring lit up, and in an instant, a bunch of green spikes shot towards the Angel War God. The two collided and a violent explosion occurred. After that, both of their skills disappeared.

"Third Soul Skill: Life Drain."

"Qian Renxue, forget it, I don't want to use this move on you."

Qian Renxue was preparing to receive Ye Liangchen's third soul skill when she heard him say this and was immediately stunned: "Ye Liangchen, what do you mean?"

"My third soul skill can extract the opponent's life force, memories, soul fragments, bloodline, etc. It's too domineering and might scare you."

"Buzzing..."

Ye Liangchen's third soul ring, which had lasted for ten thousand years, lit up. In an instant, a green light enveloped a tree as thick as a water bucket in front of him. Within a few breaths, the tree lost its vitality, and all the green leaves on it withered and fell to the ground with a gentle breeze.

"Swish..."

"Life is being restored."

Ye Liangchen channeled the absorbed life force into the large tree, then activated his fifth soul skill to restore the tree's life force.

"He actually has such a powerful skill?" Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong were extremely surprised to see that Ye Liangchen's third soul skill could directly extract life force.

"Qian Renxue, my third soul ring has a lifespan of 12000 years. I'm afraid you won't be able to withstand it. When that happens, your golden hair will turn completely white, your skin will become like old tree bark, and you'll look like an old woman. It will really scare you."

"Unleash your fifth soul skill, Judgment Sword! Let me see."

Ye Liangchen directly told Qian Renxue to use her ultimate move, since no matter how hard this woman tried, she couldn't hurt him.

"As you wish, may the angels judge."

"Huff huff..."

The only black soul ring on Qian Renxue's body lit up, and a golden longsword appeared in her hand. She then raised it high in the air and slashed at Ye Liangchen. The golden attack wave, like the sun, shot towards Ye Liangchen, which really looked a bit like the Heavenly Blade Judgment in Super God Academy.

"Second Soul Skill, Blessing of Life."

Ye Liangchen immediately activated his second soul skill, increasing all his attributes by 50%, otherwise he wouldn't be able to withstand Qian Renxue's fifth soul skill.

"Frost Palm"

Faced with such a scorching wave of attack, one would naturally have to use ice to deal with it.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

As soon as Ye Liangchen unleashed his extreme cold power, the temperature around him dropped rapidly, and ice walls appeared in front of him.

"Bang bang... Crack... Crack..."

Qian Renxue's Angelic Judgment attack wave lost its power after breaking through many of Ye Liangchen's ice walls.

"How is that possible? What kind of skill is that?"

Qian Renxue was dumbfounded. The opponent's methods were endless, including green leaves that could cut through gold and jade, and ice. Her own soul skills couldn't even hurt a hair on his head.

"Xiaoxue, you can't beat him. Xiaochen used his second soul skill to enhance himself, and now his overall strength is such that even a Soul Emperor is no match for him."

"Xiao Chen hasn't used his full strength against you, he's been going easy on you at every turn. He hasn't even used half of his skills yet, and his soul power level is higher than yours. There's no way you can beat him."

Bibi Dong reminded Qian Renxue from the side that this kind of battle, which relies on soul rings to activate soul skills, is too simplistic. The little guy's Frosty Fire Palm and Myriad Leaves Flying Flower Stream can be used to launch attacks anywhere, which is very practical.

"Okay! I give up."

"Ye Liangchen, what is your martial soul?"

Qian Renxue looked at the other party's unbelievably beautiful female humanoid martial spirit and asked curiously.

"Goddess Martial Soul," Ye Liangchen said calmly.

"Mom, how did you meet him?"

"Xiaoxue, please don't call me Mom. It's better if you call me Sister. I'm used to you calling me Sister. I really don't want to be your mother. Do you understand my predicament?"

Bibi Dong was very reluctant when she heard Qian Renxue call her "Mom". After all, she had never fulfilled her responsibilities as a mother for a single day, and she also did not want to think of Qian Renxue, that beastly father.

Qian Renxue always called him "sister," and subconsciously he thought that this girl was not his daughter, but just a good sister. In this way, he would not think of that beast.

"Why? I'm clearly your biological daughter! Why don't you like me? Do you know how much I want to run into your arms and feel your mother's love?"

"You can give your love to Huliena, you can give it to this little one, why won't you share even a little bit with me? Just a little bit would be enough, just let me feel it."

Qian Renxue's heart ached at that moment, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

He thought that Bibi Dong would acknowledge him as her daughter once she stopped hating him, but he never expected that she would still refuse to acknowledge him.

"Xiao Chen, play a piece for me. I'll start telling her my story. I'll use the song 'Tears in the Sea,' which you used to heal my heart a couple of years ago. I need to calm my heart before I can tell Xiao Xue my story."

"Okay! No problem."

Following Bibi Dong's instructions, Ye Liangchen took out the guqin from his soul tool and began playing the background music "Tears of the Sea" from the song "Nine Songs of the Sky".

"Ding ding... Dong dong... Ding ding... Dong dong..."

As the beautiful music began, Bibi Dong recalled those painful memories from the past and slowly recounted them to Qian Renxue.

"Xiaoxue, let me tell you a story! Once upon a time, I... I was a naive and innocent girl back then, and I didn't know what was good for me. I deserved to be fooled."

"But your beastly father was my teacher. He could have taught me in a better way, or he could have simply killed me to end it all, since I had betrayed the Spirit Hall. But instead, he chose to rape me, imprison me, and keep me there until I gave birth to you."

"Do you know how desperate I was during that time? From that moment on, I hated the Spirit Hall and vowed to kill your father and destroy the Thousand Family Angel Spirit. It wasn't until Tang Dachui severely injured your beastly father that my opportunity came. So I took the chance to kill your father and devour his cultivation."

"At the moment I killed your father, I also triggered the Rakshasa test. I was constantly bewitched by the Rakshasa's thoughts and did bad things. I felt like I had become a soulless shell, and I was living a very painful life."

"Xiaoxue, you are the daughter of my enemy. How can I love you? When I was bewitched by the Rakshasa's divine power, the moment I saw you, I was reminded of the scene of your beastly father violating me, which immediately aroused the hatred in my heart. All I could do was to get you away from me, because I was afraid that I would not be able to help but kill you."

"Your grandfather knew everything your beastly father did to me, but he did nothing to stop it and let it go. Later, he even put me on the papacy, making me a tool pope, so that he could kick me aside once you grew up. That's the true face of your grandfather."

"Until two years ago, I met Xiao Chen in Tian Dou City. He calmed my heart and made my mind a little more normal with just one Ice Heart Technique. Then I looked back on my life over the past few decades and realized it was a complete joke."

"I can't go on like this. I have to break free from this nightmare. So I went to find Xiao Chen and asked him to dispel the Rakshasa's divine will and make my mind normal. He also helped my martial soul evolve into a beautiful form, which helped me regain my confidence. He used beautiful music to soothe my wounded body and mind. Later, I cut off the obsession in my heart and finally became a normal person with a soul and flesh and blood."

"If Xiao Chen hadn't helped me, the Rakshasa's divine sense would have constantly bewitched me, amplifying the evil in my heart infinitely. I would have eventually become a killing machine, destroying the Spirit Hall, and even the entire continent."

"The Rakshasa God is more of a demon than a god. He cultivates by absorbing the power of negative emotions. Xiao Chen once said that many gods in the divine realm are selfish and self-serving. The Rakshasa God, being an evil god, would not hesitate to destroy the life on an entire planet in order to achieve his goals."

"I killed your beastly father and avenged myself. Now I've severed my hatred and obsession, completely killing him in spirit. I'm moving forward lightly, pursuing my own life."

"I've never hated you, but I don't really like you either. We're both just pathetic creatures played by fate. What I hate is your father and your old, immortal grandfather. Do you understand my predicament?"

"Xiaoxue, I am your father's killer. If you hate me, you can kill me anytime."

"You can go back and tell your old, immortal grandfather that you can remove me from the position of Pope. As Xiao Chen said, the position of Pope of the Spirit Hall is just a caged bird to me."

Bibi Dong told Qian Renxue everything she had experienced, letting the silly girl know what had happened. There was no need to hide it anymore, and what happened next was up to the girl to decide.

"So that's how it is!"

"Waaaaah...! Mom, I'm sorry! I was wrong. I misunderstood you as a cruel person. Please forgive me, okay? You can hit me, you can scold me, sob...waaaah...!"

"On behalf of that beastly father, I apologize to you. If you're still not satisfied, you can kill me, sob sob sob..."

"I don't ask for anything else, I just want you to hug me before you kill me, sob sob sob..."

Qian Renxue rushed over, knelt down in front of Bibi Dong, and burst into tears. At this moment, Qian Renxue felt very guilty. She had misunderstood her mother all these years and thought she was a vicious person. She didn't realize that her mother's experience was so tragic.

"Xiaoxue, I have never hated you, and I would never hurt you. Even tigers don't eat their cubs, so no matter what, you are still my daughter."

"We were just pawns in the game of fate. Mom has never hated you, sob sob..."

"Mom, waaaaaah..."

Seeing Qian Renxue so humble in her attempt to gain her mother's love, Bibi Dong immediately pulled her up and held her tightly in her arms.

"Waaaaah..."

At that moment, the mother and daughter embraced each other and cried loudly, releasing their pent-up emotions. Their tears flowed like a surging river, endless and unstoppable, like the Yellow River overflowing its banks.

Holy crap! These two girls are really something else when they cry! Their tears are practically flowing like a river.

To allow the mother and daughter to vent their emotions, Ye Liangchen walked away and let them have a good cry.
