[The first possibility is that it's all arranged by the Asura God, who wants to support Little Loser. Everyone knows every protagonist needs a major antagonist, and the existence of Bibi Dong is just a stepping stone on Little Loser's path to godhood.]
[After all, before Little Loser, Bibi Dong was the most talented person in the entire Douluo Continent. Having such a genius as his main antagonist? Totally makes sense!]
Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong's face turned pale instantly, her body radiating a murderous aura.
Little Loser!Who the hell is Little Loser?So I'm just someone else's stepping stone? I'm the Pope of the Spirit Hall! How dare he!Asura God.
This Su Chen really is mysterious—he even knows about the God Realm and the Asura God. Could it really be that she's just a stepping stone for Little Loser?Impossible. Absolutely impossible.
Hu Liena, seeing her teacher's face go pale, quickly spoke up:
"Teacher, please calm down... that was just the first possibility. With your strength, how could you possibly be someone else's stepping stone?"
"Hmph!"
"Utter nonsense!"
"I wouldn't take it to heart at all."
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, gripping her scepter so hard it almost snapped.
Just like she said—she had already accepted the inheritance of the Rakshasa God.A stepping stone?Impossible. Absolutely not.
Hu Liena nodded quickly:
"I don't think it's the first possibility either. It's probably the second or third one. Teacher, let's keep reading."
However...
How could Hu Liena have known—she really did know how to comfort people!
Elsewhere—
Su Chen continued updating the diary, writing down the second possibility.
[The second possibility is that Bibi Dong's meeting with Yu Xiaogang was part of a calculated plan by Yu Xiaogang himself.]
[As we said earlier, Yu Xiaogang's spirit mutated, and he was humiliated in his clan. He was desperate to prove himself—and he really needed the Spirit Hall's internal data!]
[But let's be honest—even if he wasn't a total loser, as someone from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, there was no way he could access the core data of Spirit Hall. He definitely needed help.]
[Anyone who could access that kind of data would have to be a high-level figure in the Spirit Hall—either a Titled Douluo, an elder, or a platinum bishop. But could any of them be used by Yu Xiaogang? Not a chance.]
[That's why the pure and kind-hearted saintess Bibi Dong was his only hope.]
[A guy who grew up under discrimination and humiliation manipulating a naïve Spirit Hall saintess? That's like my brother dunking on a toddler in basketball. Easy.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong felt a stabbing pain in her chest reading this.
"Impossible. Absolutely not."
"Xiaogang isn't that kind of person. He just isn't."
Hu Liena, watching her teacher lose her composure, felt bitter inside.
She never imagined her teacher once had such a past—that she, too, was once a kind and pure girl like herself.
But!
Even if Bibi Dong refused to believe it, she was clearly rattled. From Hu Liena's outsider perspective, Su Chen's diary made a lot of sense.A loser humiliated his whole life—he wouldn't really be capable of love, would he?
Hu Liena, full of worry and sympathy, tried to comfort her:
"Teacher, please don't be angry. There's still a third possibility! I really don't think the first two are right."
"Right! We still have the third possibility."
Just as she said that—
In the diary:
[The third possibility—scrap all the conspiracy theories—Bibi Dong is just brain-dead. But I can't even imagine how brain-dead. A loser hated by his own clan becomes your prince charming?]
[You might as well donate your eyes.]
Instantly—
Hu Liena stood there, completely numb.
Bro!Is this really how you write a diary!?
She no longer dared to speak. Every attempt at comfort felt like a death wish now. One more word and her teacher might actually explode.
Bibi Dong was so furious she nearly coughed up blood.
"Bastard!"
"Su Chen, you're the brain-dead one! If your methods weren't so mysterious, I'd have you locked in a dungeon right now!"
She was livid!Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, her chest heaving as if her... um... pride... was about to leap out and demand justice from Su Chen.
She turned to Hu Liena:
"Nana, your teacher is asking you a serious question—which possibility do you think it is?"
What!?
Hu Liena mentally collapsed on the spot.
Teacher, please have mercy!
Choosing the first means you're a stepping stone. The second and third? Basically say you're blind!
"Ma-maybe it's... because..."She struggled for ages but realized—she couldn't think of a single redeeming quality in that so-called "master" Yu Xiaogang to defend her teacher.
Wahhh—!Teacher... you really were blind, huh.
Bibi Dong, still angry, saw her student struggle to find a single word of comfort—and went quiet, dazed.
She, too, started searching for answers in her mind.
For a long time—
The only thing Bibi Dong could remember about Yu Xiaogang was that... well, he used to be kind of handsome.
Nothing else could justify why she fell for him.
Could it be...
She used to be a hopeless fangirl just like Nana?
The diary continued updating.
[Of course, it doesn't matter which possibility is true—none of them change the fact that Yu Xiaogang is trash. A saintess helped you, for whatever reason, and you threw her into the fire?!]
[Let's talk about what kind of loser you are—do you have any self-awareness? Falling in love with Bibi Dong? You're a toad trying to eat a swan. Breaking up wasn't enough—you even wanted to run away with her?!]
[How dare you! She was Spirit Hall's hand-picked next Pope, raised with all those resources. And you, a talentless bum, wanted to elope with her?!]
[But when Qian Xunji stood in your way and threatened you, you didn't say a damn thing—you ran like a coward. Then you held a grudge against Bibi Dong for not going with you, for 'changing her heart'? Have you ever considered the pressure she was under?!]
[If you'd shown even a shred of courage for love, I'd respect you. If you'd thought about her just a little, Bibi Dong's tragedy never would've happened. What a piece of trash.]
[By the way—if I were just a level 15 trash soul master right now and I tried to elope with Hu Liena...??? I bet Bibi Dong would follow Qian Xunji's example—and maybe even go further!]
[Yikes~!]
Even Su Chen shivered as he wrote that.
If he tried to steal Hu Liena away at level 15?
Bibi Dong, the unhinged psycho, would probably make Qian Xunji look like a teddy bear.Qian Xunji only threw people into dungeons.Bibi Dong might throw him in too!
Star Dou Imperial City.
At that moment, Qian Renxue, just leaving the palace, saw the diary update in her mind—and nearly lost it.
She immediately sensed that something about Bibi Dong's attitude toward her... it all stemmed from here.So she was once in love with Yu Xiaogang—and her father ruined it. What really happened?
Qian Renxue looked up at the sky, her eyes full of emotion, replaying the disgusted look Bibi Dong always gave her.
What was your tragedy?Is that why you hate me so much?
Then—
Not just Qian Renxue.
All the women who had copies of the diary at that moment also realized one massive bombshell—
The Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, had a colossal backstory.
What was her tragedy?Where did that old road lead?
