"There's something that might overturn your understanding, and I'm not sure if I should tell you."
Lin Mu looked at Qian Renxue with complicated eyes.
Regardless of whether Bibi Dong was good or bad, once that matter was exposed, the blow to Qian Renxue would undoubtedly be significant.
Her dead father, her indifferent mother, and her broken self.
Seeing Lin Mu's solemn expression, Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat. It was the first time she had seen Lin Mu with such an expression.
Although she had a vague premonition of something bad, she still wanted to know the truth.
Immediately, disregarding the fact that she had just exposed herself, she reached out and grabbed Lin Mu's arm, her face urgent.
"Do you know something?"
"Never mind. You'll find out sooner or later anyway. Knowing sooner might help you pass the Angel God's divine assessment."
After a pause, Lin Mu suddenly changed the subject and said, "The former Pope Qian Xunji raped his disciple, Bibi Dong."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was stunned. Her mind went completely blank, and she couldn't react at all.
Coming back to her senses, she abruptly looked up at Lin Mu and asked in disbelief,
"This is fake, right?"
Lin Mu remained silent; matters like this needed to be dealt with quickly.
While Qian Xunji was indeed at fault, Bibi Dong also bore some responsibility. The Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall had fallen for a good-for-nothing, and a completely irresponsible one at that.
Yu Xiaogang had only been away from the Spirit Hall for a short time before falling for Liu Erlong, even planning to marry her.
The result was that the lovers ended up as cousins, and then this good-for-nothing ran away again.
Every time he encountered a problem, he chose to escape, leaving the pain to the other party. And yet someone still liked this utterly useless person.
This was the unique aspect of the Love Continent.
Seeing that Lin Mu didn't reply, Qian Renxue had already reached her own conclusion and muttered to herself,
"No wonder she dislikes me so much. Now that I think about it, seeing me reminds her of those painful memories."
"Was my birth a mistake?"
Thinking of this, Qian Renxue's expression gradually became dazed.
Seeing this, Lin Mu immediately reached out and pulled her into his arms, lifting her chin and forcibly covering her pink lips.
"Mmm—"
After a long while, Qian Renxue finally couldn't hold back any longer and forcefully pushed Lin Mu away.
She glared at Lin Mu resentfully with her beautiful eyes and said irritably, "What are you doing? Can't you see I'm upset?"
"What's there to be upset about? This isn't your fault. On the contrary, they're the ones who owe you something."
Lin Mu wrapped his arm around Qian Renxue's slender waist and said firmly, "You can't choose your birth. Whoever's fault it is, it isn't yours."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue paused for a moment. Upon thinking about it, it seemed to make some sense.
Then she looked up at Lin Mu. Although she didn't have the love of a father or mother, at least she had the man who had conquered her heart and soul.
After thinking it through, Qian Renxue rested her head on Lin Mu's shoulder and said softly,
"I plan to go to Spirit City. I'll temporarily leave the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire to you."
Now that she knew the truth of what had happened back then, she had some things she wanted to say to Bibi Dong.
Lin Mu didn't say much and simply nodded in agreement.
Suddenly, Qian Renxue pounced on him, pinning him to the bed and sitting on top of him with her legs draped around his waist.
Seemingly out of gratitude for his comforting words, Qian Renxue acted even more wildly than before.
The next morning.
As soon as she got up, Qian Renxue took a shower, changed into a light golden dress, packed her essentials, and prepared to set off for the newly named Spirit Empire.
"It's a long way from here to Spirit City, so let me give you a ride."
Lin Mu made the suggestion.
Although Qian Renxue had already cultivated to the level of Soul Douluo and possessed the god-level martial soul, the Seraphim/Six-Winged Angel, it would still take several days to fly to Spirit City.
If he took her there, it would only take two or three hours at most.
"Alright then."
Qian Renxue didn't refuse Lin Mu's offer; she knew Lin Mu was extremely fast and could save a lot of time.
Immediately, Lin Mu picked Qian Renxue up in his arms. Under her shy gaze, he transformed into a streak of light and shot through the sky.
After flying for more than two hours, Lin Mu finally delivered Qian Renxue to the outskirts of the Spirit Empire.
After establishing the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong quickly annexed nearby cities, and its territory was already larger than a kingdom.
"Let's part ways here. If you enter the territory of the Spirit Empire, it will probably cause quite a stir."
With that, Qian Renxue reluctantly left Lin Mu's embrace.
At that moment, Lin Mu suddenly remembered something and said,
"When you go back this time, you'd better start the Angel God Assessment as soon as possible. During your assessment, I'll figure out how to handle the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire."
Hearing this, Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment.
In fact, she had thought about starting the Angel God Assessment before, but it had been postponed because of the affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire.
She had originally planned to devote herself to the assessment after unifying the continent.
But now that she thought about it, if she didn't start the assessment soon, she might still be stuck at the Soul Douluo level after Lin Mu became a god.
After explaining this matter, Lin Mu didn't linger and immediately flew toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
Before long, Lin Mu arrived at the core area and immediately released a pressure that forced the nearby soul beasts to prostrate themselves on the ground.
At the same time, Di Tian sensed a familiar aura and immediately brought Bi Ji and the others there.
He had already told them about Lin Mu's Soul Spirit plan. Except for Bi Ji, who was still hesitant, the Myriad Demon King and Zi Ji were willing to become Soul Spirits.
A moment later, Di Tian saw Lin Mu, who had been waiting for a long time.
As the figures approached, Lin Mu narrowed his eyes. He had already seen Di Tian and Bi Ji; the other man and woman were undoubtedly the Myriad Demon King and Zi Ji.
"Lin Mu, they are willing to become soul spirits, but can you guarantee that your disciple can also become a god?"
Di Tian asked with some skepticism.
He didn't doubt Lin Mu's ability to become a god; after all, if Lin Mu couldn't become a god, then no one in the world could.
But the problem was that even if Lin Mu could become a god, it didn't mean his disciple had the potential to do so.
"You can rest assured. My disciple already possesses divine inheritance."
Lin Mu spoke calmly.
Upon hearing this, Di Tian and the others were all stunned.
They didn't doubt the truth of the matter, because such a lie would be easily exposed, and Lin Mu shouldn't make such a mistake.
They simply hadn't expected this master-and-disciple pair to be so extraordinary, both possessing the potential to become gods and destined for a place in the God Realm.
Thinking of this, Di Tian's mind was filled with countless thoughts.
If he became Lin Mu's soul spirit and borrowed Lin Mu's strength, perhaps he could truly secure a place for the soul beast race.
However, he had more important matters to attend to right now: protecting his lord's safety.
He would consider becoming Lin Mu's soul spirit after his lord had sufficiently recovered.
