Chapter 113 Reunion with Bibi Dong, Mother and Daughter's Dialogue
One group headed west, while two others headed south.
This is a race, and whoever wins will control the fate of the continent.
Whether it's for revenge, for honor, for seeing the view from a higher vantage point, for not disappointing some people, or for the ambition to be passed down through generations.
……
The seven, who could be called the Shrek Seven Devils, along with Shui Bing'er and the dolls of Chi Ping and Chi Shu, headed by carriage to Hanhai City, the westernmost city of the Heaven Dou Empire.
The six older generation members all stayed in Tiandou City, since their potential had been almost exhausted and the Sea God didn't think much of them.
The small building outside the city was not demolished, and the dolls of Chi Ping and Chi Shu still reside there.
Is this considered Shrek Academy's office in Tiandou City?
Chi Ping and Qian Renxue walked towards Wuhun City.
To be fair, and also to fulfill Qian Renxue's little wish, Chi Ping did not use teleportation.
After disguising themselves and changing their appearance, the two drove a truck as ordinary traveling merchants, traveling around the mountains and rivers, helping the good and punishing the evil when necessary, and staying in towns and rural villages as they went.
……
Two months later, the two, now restored to their original appearance, walked hand in hand along the main road leading to Wuhun City.
"How was the journey?"
Qian Renxue thought about it carefully, "It's very novel."
When had she, born into nobility, ever had such an experience?
Living on wind and dew (meaning having no money and only able to survive on the northwest wind), sleeping under the open sky (having nowhere to sleep and having to be outdoors), traveling through mountains and rivers (taking the long way on foot), and using wits and courage (Chi Ping doesn't allow the use of martial spirit power unless it's absolutely necessary, and when encountering disgusting people on the road, one often has to use words to deal with them)...
However, this wasn't the case throughout.
Itinerant merchants were those who collected goods from one place and transported them to another to sell. They were like traveling department stores, and many rural villages in remote mountain areas relied on them to deliver essential goods such as salt and iron.
At this point, the villagers would invite the couple to stay overnight, treat them to the best food in their homes, and offer their blessings to the "couple".
Looking at their sincere smiles, Qian Renxue felt a warmth in her heart.
Chi Ping tilted his head slightly, his gaze seemingly piercing through layers of clouds to reach the high heavens, looking gently at this planet and this land.
Here, some are high above, some are as lowly as the mud, some are lazy and waste their days, and some are busy striving...
Some are filled with righteous indignation, some work diligently in the fields, some study the mechanisms of economics, and some manipulate the economy...
There are good and bad.
"To become a god, one must first understand the mortal realm; this is my understanding. Divine power is the power of human faith and belief transformed through the divine position, and it is the foundation of a god's transcendence. But precisely because of this, gods cannot be separated from mortals. The more prosperous mortals are, the more powerful the gods become."
God should act as a pioneer to show the way forward for mortals and guide their progress. Mortals should walk on the path opened by God, making this path wider so that God, who opened the way, can go further and even continue the path after God falls.
Understanding is the first step in guidance.
As he spoke, he looked at Qian Renxue and said, "I don't know if this is right or wrong. This is just my path and my understanding."
Xue'er, you don't have to follow the same path as me, but I hope that when you walk your own path to divinity and stand high in the heavens, you can look down at those ordinary people struggling to survive.
Because in the beginning, you and I were both one of them.
Qian Renxue released Chi Ping's hand, took a step back, cupped her hands, and said, "I have learned a lot."
Then, with lightning speed, she grabbed Chi Ping's arm before he could make his next move.
"What are you doing?"
"You almost got away. Only two steps left. Don't even think about escaping until you see...my mom!"
Chi Ping hurriedly replied, "How could that be? I'd love to see my mother-in-law too!"
"Hmph! Since that's the case, let's hurry up and go!" Qian Renxue quickened her pace.
"I just realized I haven't prepared a gift yet. Maybe I should wait a couple more days so I can prepare something suitable?"
"Your presence is the best gift."
"Shall I tidy up my clothes?"
"It's just a matter of a thought. Do you think I didn't know your clothes were woven from mycelium?"
Chi Ping felt like a dog being led to a dog meat restaurant.
……
The entire council hall of the Papal Palace seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
There are four people in the hall.
Pope Bibi Dong sat regally in the main seat, Hu Liena, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, stood silently behind her, and a man and a woman faced Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's sharp gaze remained fixed on Qian Renxue's face, while Qian Renxue glared back at her without backing down. Neither of them spoke, but the oppressive atmosphere made Hu Liena behind Bibi Dong feel like she couldn't breathe.
Similarly, Ikehira also felt a tingling sensation all over his body.
What's going on with these two?
There's a glimmer of hope.
Tell me about it?
I don't want to talk about it.
So what's your relationship with this woman? She's so beautiful!
Those are the kinds of situations...
Congratulations.
Thank you.
For no apparent reason, Chi Ping and Hu Liena exchanged glances.
Hu Liena accepted her defeat gracefully in the Elite Tournament. Chi Ping even showed mercy when her brother tried to kill her. Moreover, Chi Ping and the Spirit Hall were not enemies, so Hu Liena had no ill intentions towards Chi Ping.
"Lena, you can go out now." Bibi Dong waved her hand.
Hu Liena secretly breathed a sigh of relief, respectfully replied, gave Chi Ping a "take care" look, and was about to leave the council hall.
"Ping, you should go out too," Qian Renxue said in a deep voice.
Chi Ping squeezed Qian Renxue's right hand, letting her feel his warmth.
"No matter what grudges you have, she is still your mother, so we should still be polite. I'll wait for you outside the door."
He then bowed to Bibi Dong and said, "This humble son-in-law will take his leave now."
A blush appeared on Qian Renxue's cheeks, and Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were stunned. The latter even forgot that she should leave, and it was Chi Ping who pulled her back.
In a sense, she should be his sister-in-law.
"Knowing too much is not a good thing."
After the two left, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue continued to stare at each other, but the atmosphere just wouldn't tense. Bibi Dong's braced posture also relaxed.
Bibi Dong asked casually, "Where have you gotten to?"
Qian Renxue stiffened her neck, turned her head, and said, "It's none of your business!"
Bibi Dong nodded. "It seems we haven't reached the final step yet."
Qian Renxue retorted angrily, "My affairs are none of your business!"
Bibi Dong became increasingly composed.
"That boy has already accepted me as his mother-in-law, so naturally I have to consider whether he is good enough for you."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and said disdainfully, "You think you're qualified to consider him?"
"What do you mean?"
"Literal meaning."
Bibi Dong seemed to be deep in thought.
"It seems that Ikehira's divine test is quite extraordinary."
Qian Renxue pouted, "Even Grandpa isn't a match for Ping, so what makes you think you can judge him?"
Bibi Dong was surprised, then frowned slightly, "How did he treat you?"
"It's none of your business."
Bibi Dong understood.
Then they got down to business.
"If the operation fails, it fails. We can start over. We still have an absolute advantage in terms of the overall situation."
Qian Renxue looked at Bibi Dong, "My failure this time was due to a divine artifact. Ping discovered the Sea God's divine inheritance on that artifact, and two months ago, he passed the inheritance on to Dai Mubai and eight others. Ping's junior, Tang San, gained the Sea God's approval. They went to Sea God Island two months ago to undergo the Sea God's test, and they have now arrived at Sea God Island."
The Star Luo Royal Family, Haotian Sect, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Four Elements Academy are the representatives of these forces, basically representing the power of the Star Luo and Heaven Dou Empires.
The Spirit Hall must face this obstacle if it wants to unify the continent.
I will be undergoing the trials of the angelic god. Currently, whoever completes the trials and ascends to the divine realm first will have the absolute advantage.
Bibi Dong frowned after hearing this. "You were there too? Why didn't you stop it?"
Qian Renxue shook her head, "Because of the standard of flatness."
Originally, after saving me, he was supposed to take me to Shrek Academy and stay away from the world, not interfering in the conflicts on the continent. But after he passed on the Sea God's inheritance to Tang San and the others, I was able to use the power of the Angel God to help the Spirit Hall unify the continent.
Bibi Dong tapped her fingers on the armrest of her chair. "He's just a god."
