The clear voice echoed in the silent Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong: "…"
Well!
Bibi Dong was stunned.
Did she feel it wrong? Was she just attacked on the buttocks by Ye Feng?
Snap!
In Bibi Dong's stunned expression, Ye Feng's hand fell again.
This time, she was certain she had been hit—and it was on her buttocks.
"Ye Feng, what are you doing?"
Bibi Dong's tone turned softer, yet she frowned and looked at Ye Feng angrily.
Snap!
Ye Feng smacked Bibi Dong again and replied, "You're so disobedient. Don't you deserve to be punished?"
"What's wrong with me?" Bibi Dong asked.
"What's wrong with you? You actually threatened me to kill Xiao Wu!" Ye Feng said angrily.
Snap!
Ye Feng's hand fell again.
"I was discussing with you, asking you to change your request. Discussing, that's discussing. Do you understand?" Bibi Dong argued.
"Since you want to be my woman, you have to do as I say. But you actually said: 'Beg me. As long as you beg me, I will give up killing her!' Tell me, should I punish you or not?" Ye Feng scolded angrily.
"But you're asking me to give up my dream." Bibi Dong felt wronged, her voice filled with grievance.
"Your dream?"
It would have been better if Bibi Dong hadn't mentioned it. But now that she did, Ye Feng got even angrier.
Ye Feng scolded, "Your dream can't be built on the pain of others."
Mist formed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She felt so aggrieved she wanted to cry.
"Do you understand me?" Bibi Dong stared at Ye Feng.
"Xiao Wu, go out first. I want to talk to Dong'er alone." Ye Feng ordered.
"Okay." Xiao Wu nodded.
She glanced at Ye Feng, then at Bibi Dong. She was different from when she first entered.
Looking at Bibi Dong again, the resentment and murderous intent in her eyes were gone. Because what Ye Feng said was right. There was still hope for her mother's resurrection. So, she knew she couldn't kill Bibi Dong.
Once Bibi Dong died, there would be no hope of reviving her mother.
However, she didn't really thank Bibi Dong for this as Ye Feng had said.
Xiao Wu turned around and left the hall, closing the door of the Pope's Palace, leaving Ye Feng and Bibi Dong alone.
Ye Feng waited until Xiao Wu left before reaching out and holding Bibi Dong's hand. "Of course, I understand you."
Bibi Dong immediately broke free from Ye Feng's grip. "No, you don't understand me."
She had only met Ye Feng at most five times, and she didn't believe he truly understood her. If he really understood her, he wouldn't make her give up on her dream.
No spirit hunting operation.
No invasion of the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire.
No eradication of the Qian family's legacy.
If Ye Feng truly understood her, he wouldn't stop her. Instead, he would help her achieve these ambitions.
Ye Feng stepped forward, took Bibi Dong's hands again, and said sincerely, "I understand you."
Bibi Dong lifted her head, looking at Ye Feng with grievance. "If you understand me, you shouldn't stop me, but help me."
"Dong'er, you're wrong." Ye Feng shook his head slightly.
"Am I wrong?" Bibi Dong asked doubtfully.
"Yes, you are wrong."
"Where did I go wrong?"
"From what I've gathered, you want to destroy most spirit master sects except the Spirit Hall, to make an example and intimidate spirit masters. You wish to unite the spirit masters under the Spirit Hall. You even aim to establish the Spirit Empire and unify the continent. Am I right?" Ye Feng asked.
"Yes." Bibi Dong nodded.
She knew that with Ye Feng's connections, he must have heard some rumors from Ning Fengzhi.
Ye Feng was the most extraordinary man she had ever met, even more intelligent than Yu Xiaogang.
It wasn't surprising that Ye Feng could analyze this much.
"That's just the surface. Your true purpose is to use war to destroy the spirit master world you despise, especially the Qian family's foundation. Am I right?" Ye Feng continued.
Bibi Dong was stunned.
She looked at Ye Feng in disbelief.
Indeed, that was her true intent. Even her closest subordinates, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, were unaware of it. Even Grand Judgement Elder Qian Daoliu naively believed that Bibi Dong merely wished to unify the world.
She had never revealed her true thoughts to anyone. So how did Ye Feng know?
Ye Feng stared at Bibi Dong, his gaze filled with understanding. "Don't be so surprised. I have my reasons for this judgment."
"Tell me, what are your reasons?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.
Ye Feng let go of her hands and placed his palm gently against her heart.
"Huh?"
Bibi Dong's mind went blank.
Wasn't this indecent?
"The heart."
Ye Feng explained, "If you want to understand a person's true intentions, observe their heart. The heart represents their life experience and personality. In the first half of your life, you were the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, rising steadily without obstacles. Until you fell in love with Yu Xiaogang, which provoked your teacher's jealousy. To possess you, your teacher imprisoned and forcibly took you. Since then, your heart has been twisted."
"A twisted heart distorts one's worldview, values, and beliefs."
"Because your heart is filled with hatred, your actions follow suit. In other words, you've changed. Because of the hatred inside you, you want to start a war to erase the Qian family's foundation."
"But that's not your deepest reason."
"Your true purpose is to ensure that no one else suffers the same fate as you, to prevent others from being controlled by so-called power and having their lives ruined. In other words, you hate power itself. Isn't that right?"
Ye Feng looked at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong nodded, then hesitated, shaking her head.
Yes, she did want to destroy the Qian family's foundation and obliterate what Qian Xunji held dear. But she never thought about protecting others, especially other women.
Yet, upon hearing Ye Feng's words, she felt they made sense. Wasn't she doing all of this to prevent others from suffering as she had?
In the end, she nodded again.
"Dong'er, at your core, you still have kindness. That is your true self, buried under hatred. You just haven't realized it yet." Ye Feng sighed.
"Then why do you want to stop me from achieving my dream?" Bibi Dong gazed at Ye Feng with resentment.
Ye Feng was immensely talented. If he helped her, she could accomplish her goals much more easily.
Thinking of this, she softened her tone and said, "Ye Feng, I recognize you and am ready to be your woman at any time. You shouldn't stop me, you should help me."
