"I don't think I'm a good mother... But that child is that beast Qian Xunji's child.
I shouldn't be wrong to treat him this way, right?"
"Besides, I didn't kill him... Yes, I'm not wrong. It's all that child's fault.
Why doesn't Qian Renshang just endure it a little longer?
Once I kill Qian Xunji, I'll be satiated."
"Then I can give him a little bit of maternal love... Doesn't he crave my maternal love?"
Bibi Dong tried to convince herself, like a drowning person frantically searching for a piece of driftwood.
She really didn't want to admit she was wrong.
How could Bibi Dong be wrong?
*Smack!
* Bibi Dong shattered the bed with a single palm strike, her expression terrifyingly ferocious.
She understood. It was all Qian Renshang's fault; he insisted on leaving.
Now that Qian Xunji was dead, Bibi Dong was willing to give him a little maternal love—something he hadn't wanted.
"Bastard, bastard… even leaving doesn't give me peace of mind.
Now that he's gone, he'll definitely be miserable!"
Bibi Dong thought maliciously.
She felt that if Qian Renshang had survived outside, he would definitely be miserable.
How could anyone like such a detestable child?
He'd probably be sleeping on the streets, fighting with stray dogs for food!
"Go… you'll definitely regret leaving now.
If you want to come back, you won't be able to kneel and beg me!"
Bibi Dong said angrily. She had made up her mind: quickly take control of the Spirit Hall.
As for Qian Renshang, she wouldn't think about him anymore.
"He will never regret it!"
"Never!?"
Bibi Dong seemed to be saying this to herself.
Bibi Dong stormed out of Qian Renshang's room, giving orders to the maids.
"Smash...smash this room!
No one is allowed near this place anymore!"
"I find it disgusting!"
"And no one is allowed to discuss that child anymore...or I'll make her pay an unimaginable price!"
The maids were bewildered, not understanding why Bibi Dong was angry, but they still nodded in agreement.

Star Dou Great Forest, Core Circle!
Sunlight filtered through the dense foliage, casting dappled shadows. Everywhere was full of life and vitality.
Tall trees reached for the sky, their verdant branches intertwining to form a natural green dome.
Colorful flowers vied for attention, emitting a captivating fragrance, attracting vibrant butterflies to dance among them.
Birds sang merrily in the branches, their clear calls echoing through the forest.
In this vibrant forest, a child of about three years old was running freely.
His small figure was full of energy, his laughter as clear as silver bells, echoing in the air—so joyful, so carefree.
Di Tian and several other beast kings stood to the side, all looking at the child with kind expressions.
Their usually stern faces softened, their eyes filled with love and care.
A gentle breeze carried the fragrance of flowers and grass, and the sounds of children's laughter, birdsong, and the flowing stream mingled together, creating a warm and beautiful scene.
This filled the once tranquil core of the Star Dou Great Forest with warmth and joy.
"So many tens of thousands of years... I never thought that a child would move my heart,"
Di Tian said with a complex expression, arms crossed.
After discussing with Gu Yuena these past few days, they had completely abandoned their previous reserve.
The group of beast kings began to communicate with Qian Renshang wholeheartedly, and they quickly discovered that Qian Renshang truly possessed a magical power, easily warming one's heart.
He was like sunshine!
Xiong Jun, standing to the side, was also somewhat moved.
"Who says otherwise?
That child's smile seems to have a magical power; even I find it hard to resist... It's really difficult to be harsh with him."
"Three months of nurturing time, hopefully this child can enjoy it a bit longer.
It's also a relaxing phase before our 'great undertaking'."
The Demon King said expressionlessly from the side.
Qian Renshang was indeed a good child, but compared to the future Soul Beast plan, he seemed somewhat insignificant.
Several Beast Kings watched Qian Renshang playing in the distance and teased him.
"Look at how happy our Lord is... I've never seen our Lord laugh so happily before."
"Indeed, our Lord is just like a little human girl... It's really strange."
"Damn, these women are actually playing games with this little guy... How childish."
Xiong Jun seemed to have seen something and spoke with some disdain.
Just then, a figure darted out.
"You guys aren't playing... I'll play.
The games Qian Renshang comes up with are really interesting."
It was the Crimson King's voice, and the expressions of the major Beast Kings instantly changed.
That sixth brother!
...
[Ding!] [Feeling the care from the Crimson King, the host's innate soul power is increased by one level.]
[Ding, feeling the care from the Bear King, the host's innate soul power is increased by one level!]
[Ding, feeling the care from the Beast God Di Tian, the first soul ring's endurance time is increased by 5000 years!]
[Ding...feeling the care from Bi Ji.]
[Ding, feeling the ultimate care from Gu Yue Na, the host is rewarded with a divinely bestowed soul ring, which has been placed in the system space and can be viewed at will.]
…
Qian Renshang had never truly been happy in his life.
He could run freely, and he had many "big friends."
Di Tian was cold but very responsible, Xiong Jun seemed honest but was actually very humorous, Wan Yao Wang seemed sinister but was actually very perceptive, Chi Wang seemed lewd but was actually…
Bi Ji and Zi Ji, needless to say, practically doted on Qian Renshang like children.
As for Gu Yue Na…
Qian Renshang looked at Gu Yue Na soaking her feet by the Lake of Life, and a smile unconsciously appeared on his face.
"It's so good… Even though my uncles, aunts, and sisters are all deceiving me, it's good as long as they're willing to deceive me."
Qian Renshang smiled slightly, murmuring in a voice only he could hear.
He understood everything; he wasn't stupid.
He knew these humans were all powerful soul beasts in human form, how could they accept him so easily?
The reason for this change was likely that there was something about him that they needed.
Qian Renshang guessed that this was likely related to his strange bloodline.
However, Qian Renshang harbored no resentment.
So what if they had ulterior motives?
These soul beasts owed him nothing, and Qian Renshang could now sense their genuine kindness.
If one day they needed his help, even at a potentially high price… Qian Renshang wouldn't refuse.
Life is like that; whether you cry or laugh, it's still a day.
Qian Renshang was willing to be this carefree and happy!
