503: Chapter 503 The Illusory Realm of Love Water

"You know our relationship now?"

"Mhm, come to think of it, you should still call me Daddy."

"Get lost!"

Qian Renxue's face flushed red.

To call a man younger than herself Daddy.

How could she possibly bring herself to call him that?

"It seems you don't care about Bibi Dong at all. So be it. Since you're unwilling, and she's unwilling to admit her love for you either, I can only take Bibi Dong away. From now on, you two won't have to meet, nor will you need to show that you hate each other. She will give her love to Yaoyao, and you, Qian Renxue, will also become this Spirit Hall Pope."

"Y-You, what did you say? Her attitude toward me is fake?"

Qian Renxue stepped forward to block him. "Make yourself clear. And... where are you taking her?"

"To the Divine Realm. We have both already obtained our God Trials. The High Priest should have told you about it. We probably won't be leaving much longer, and once we leave, we won't come back."

"I—I won't allow it."

"Why?"

"She, she, she..." Qian Renxue bit her lip, thinking for a long time before speaking, "She is the Spirit Hall Pope, and you are the Saint of Spirit Hall. You can't just use Spirit Hall's resources and leave. That's going too far."

"Of course we won't just leave like that. We will repay the Spirits, giving Spirit Hall a unified mainland."

"Even without you, I, Qian Renxue, can accomplish it."

Su Wen rolled his eyes. Without him, Douluo Continent would only belong to Tang San.

"What do you mean? Are you looking down on me?" Qian Renxue said angrily, "You haven't told me yet, what does she mean? What do you mean by fake?"

"She cares about you."

"Impossible."

"I am her man; how could I not know her thoughts?"

"You..."

Qian Renxue bit her lip.

She actually found herself unable to refute him.

"Hong Yuan, come out for a moment."

Hum.

A cluster of red mist drifted out, and upon hitting the ground, it instantly transformed into a woman dressed in wedding attire.

"Husband, did you call me?"

"Use a Spirit Ability on her."

Facing Qian Renxue's vigilant gaze, Su Wen explained, "Hong Yuan has a special ability. She can deploy the Love Water Domain, which makes enemies see the person they most desire to see in their hearts. Whether or not you have Bibi Dong in your heart will be clear at a glance once we see it."

Hong Yuan's slender fingers flicked a drop of water toward the ground.

"Love Water Illusion."

The next moment.

Before Qian Renxue could react,

the scenes before Qian Renxue's eyes began to shift.

Along with it, the entire World began to turn upside down.

She suddenly appeared in the courtyard of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

The place was neither big nor small, featuring only a dining table.

Three figures sat around it.

One of them was a middle-aged man wearing white-golden Supreme Pontiff robes. He had delicate, refined features, and exuded a sacred, affable aura.

Seeming to see Qian Renxue, a kindly smile appeared on his face:

"Xue'er."

"Daddy."

Qian Renxue widened her eyes; that was her father, Qian Xunji.

Beside him were Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu.

"Xue'er, it's time to eat. Where did you go to play today? Why are you back so late?"

"Older Sister?"

"Silly child, is your head broken? You're calling me older sister?"

Bibi Dong walked over and poked Qian Renxue on the head with her finger.

"Why are you still dazing off?"

"Xue'er?"

"Xue'er, Xue'er..."

"Don't scare me. What's wrong with you?"

Bibi Dong revealed a panicked expression, reaching out to pull Qian Renxue into her embrace, her tone filled with anxiety.

"It's nothing. I—I just feel like I'm dreaming."

Lying in Bibi Dong's arms and inhaling that familiar yet unfamiliar scent, Qian Renxue's voice trembled slightly.

Listening to Bibi Dong's care and anxiety, Qian Renxue felt a complex mix of emotions—a warmth she had never experienced from Bibi Dong before.

"Xue'er, you're acting so strange today. As long as you're fine."

Bibi Dong gently stroked Qian Renxue's cheek. "Silly child, why are you crying?"

"Mommy, let me hug you. Just for a little while."

Qian Renxue tightly hugged Bibi Dong's slender waist.

She knew this was an illusion, knew it was fake,

but at this moment, it felt real.

She wanted to hug Bibi Dong.

She wanted to obtain her love.

Even if it was fake, even if it was just for a little while, she was unwilling to let go.

Just then, Su Wen's figure suddenly barged into the courtyard: "Hey, you really are a little crybaby. Did you come running to complain that I hit you again?"

Outside the illusion.

Su Wen looked at this scene and touched his chin. "So what Qian Renxue desires most is for the whole family to sit at a table and share a meal. But this also proves that she cares deeply about Bibi Dong."

"However, why am I in her illusion?"

"How strange."

Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong, and Qian Daoliu appearing in the illusion was something he didn't feel surprised by at all.

The Love Water Illusion allows people to see the person they most want to see and then unfold the interactions they most desire.

Ghost Bride Hong Yuan parted her red lips slightly. "Husband, could there be a possibility that you have also been listed as an important person by her, except that in the illusion, your relationship with Bibi Dong is merely that of friends?"

Su Wen was speechless. "How is that possible? We've only met a few times in total, and every time was unpleasant. The first time, I even beat her up. Her impression of me shouldn't be very good."

Hong Yuan looked at Qian Renxue, who had already fallen into a deep sleep. "However... it is indeed the case. Insignificant people would not appear in her illusion."

"This... This girl doesn't have a masochistic tendency, does she..."

Su Wen muttered softly, quietly watching the illusion.

The subsequent events were undoubtedly a harmonious family dinner, along with scenes of himself and Qian Renxue still bickering.

"Alright, get her out of the illusion."

"Mhm, Husband."

Hong Yuan flicked her jade fingers, and a drop of water fell to the ground.

The surrounding Love Water ability instantly dissipated, and Qian Renxue also broke free from the illusion, leisurely opening her eyes.

Her pupils were already soaked with tears as she looked around.

She wiped away her tears, raised her head, and spoke earnestly: "Su Wen, tell me, what hidden hardships does Bibi Dong have? Why does she pretend not to care about me?"

Su Wen smiled. This Qian Renxue had essentially directly admitted her feelings for Bibi Dong.

"I can tell you. But first, call me Daddy and let me hear it."

"What?"

Qian Renxue's expression was slightly stunned, and then a blush spread across her exquisite cheeks. She rebuked angrily, "In your dreams!"

"Then I won't disturb you anymore. Qian Renxue, I hope you won't regret this. After all, the time left for Bibi Dong and me on the mainland is running short."

"Daddy."

Just as Su Wen turned around to leave, a vague and gritting-teeth voice came from behind him.

"What did you say?"

"Cut the crap, you heard it."

"Yaoyao, did you hear it?"

Yaoyao bit her finger and blinked her large eyes.

"Looks like nobody heard it."

"Daddy."

Qian Renxue stepped forward, glaring at him with her brilliant golden pupils. Her high, straight nose bridge was almost pressed against his face, and Su Wen could faintly see a few remaining tear droplets in her pupils.

"Good, what a good girl. If you want to know Bibi Dong's hidden hardships, you can ask your grandpa directly."
