Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor-Chapter 170: Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor []

Then, she defied the orders of the Spirit Hall and forcibly ran back to the Spirit Hall from her assigned position.

Qian Daoliu initially thought she was concerned about his deceased wife, so instead of punishing her, he arranged for her to become one of the caregivers for the infant Qian Xunji with great trust.

She thought this was some kind of hint and excitedly agreed.

From then on, she became much more normal. Until Qian Xunji turned thirteen, she behaved almost like an ordinary person.

When Qian Xunji turned thirteen, she approached Qian Daoliu again, believing that since Qian Xunji was now an adult, her relationship with Qian Daoliu might deepen.

When Qian Daoliu heard this, he nodded and, under her expectant gaze, said that indeed, he could accept her—as his adopted daughter. (Emotional Damage!)

She broke down and ran away. That night, unable to sleep, she used her status to sneak into Qian Xunji's bedroom. She sought comfort from Qian Xunji as a substitute for Qian Daoliu.

In her repeated indulgence, Qian Xunji turned fifteen and proposed marriage to her. But after thinking about it, she rejected him.

To her, Qian Xunji was merely a substitute for Qian Daoliu. After their moments of pleasure, she used her soul power to purge everything from her body.

She mocked Qian Xunji without hesitation, telling him that while her body might have been connected to him, her heart belonged solely to Qian Daoliu.

Heartbroken, Qian Xunji ran away. Not long after, news arrived that she had been reassigned once again. This time, she spent over a decade outside before finding another opportunity to return to the Spirit Hall. By then, the position of Supreme Pontiff had passed from Qian Daoliu to Qian Xunji.

She tried once more to use her old tricks to become Qian Daoliu's personal attendant but was rejected. Thus, she could only stay in the Spirit Hall, appearing to be a normal soul master while secretly collecting items Qian Daoliu had used to comfort herself.

Another decade or so passed, and the Spirit Hall launched an expedition to Sea God Island. However, the expedition titled Douluo and many soul masters were defeated and lost their lives. Only a few individuals were allowed to return by Sea God Island. Qian Daoliu personally took action and only returned several months later.

She approached Qian Daoliu intending to say something to bring them closer. However, she learned from him that he had fallen in love with another woman once more after years of silence.

For the next few decades, she lived in a daze. Her soul power growth slowed significantly due to her internal anguish. She should have become a titled Douluo, but ultimately, she never achieved that rank.

One ordinary day, Qian Daoliu summoned her again. By then, she was no longer young, and her years of madness had left her prematurely aged. However, Qian Daoliu still appeared as youthful, gentle, and unfathomable as when she first met him.

Qian Daoliu gave her a new task: to care for his granddaughter, the infant Qian Renxue.

Her dormant heart was reignited. Although Qian Daoliu only asked her to care for Qian Renxue, she interpreted his order as a sign that he wanted to marry her.

From then on, she truly gave up all her bad habits and cared for Qian Renxue as if she were her granddaughter, giving Qian Renxue the best of everything she had.

After Qian Xunji's death, during Qian Renxue's plan to usurp the throne, she was entrusted with an important task by Qian Daoliu—to stay by Qian Renxue's side, taking care of her while also secretly monitoring her. She had the authority to mobilize Spirit Hall soul masters, including titled Douluo, who were by Qian Renxue's side.

As Qian Renxue grew older, she gradually aged.

Over a year ago, she returned to the Spirit Hall. Seeing Qian Daoliu in the Worship Hall, whose appearance remained unchanged, she chose to be timid, merely reporting everything about Qian Renxue as a trusted subordinate.

However, she was too old and could feel her life gradually slipping away. She realized if she did not speak up now, she might never have another chance.

Finally, a few months ago, during another report, she met Qian Daoliu and, for the first and last time, expressed her true wish to him.

But Qian Daoliu only smiled and said:

"I've always seen you as a daughter." (Emotional Damage! 2x)

Decades of emotions exploded in that moment. Decades of longing and resentment culminated in despair. She realized that Qian Daoliu, so noble and great, was someone she, like an insignificant insect, should never have hoped to be with.

But she was nearing death. Could an insignificant insect like her leave a mark on Qian Daoliu's heart?

After much thought, she came to a conclusion.

Even if she could not become Qian Daoliu's greatest love, she would make sure to leave an unforgettable mark on his heart through her efforts.

Even if it meant becoming the person he hated most in his life. That would still be better than being forgotten as if she were a child.

As for how to leave such a mark?

Naturally, the best way was through someone he loved the most—Qian Renxue.

And so, she began her plan. At the right moment, she lured one of her former suitors into becoming an evil soul master, diverting the attention of the Academy's three elders and most of the Heaven Dou Empire's forces.

She then took advantage of Qian Renxue's visit to inspect accounts, leaving Porcupinefish Douluo in Heaven Dou City while secretly having the evil soul master follow and ambush the convoy. She used her position to send Snake Spear Douluo away.

Finally, using Qian Renxue's trust in her, she led Qian Renxue into the deepest part of the ambush.

Bit by bit, she aided Qian Renxue while drawing in enemies. Watching Qian Renxue struggle in danger, she reveled in the sense of betrayal.

The summary above omits much of the profanity and unpleasant details. In truth, the original words were far more vulgar and unbearable.

Even Chen Ming, who had lived through the age of information overload in his previous life, felt disgusted after hearing it. His gaze toward the woman was now worse than how one would look at non-recyclable garbage.

If Bibi Dong's twisted personality could be explained by her past, then without a doubt, this woman was simply a natural-born pervert. If she could become a Death God in the Slaughter City, perhaps the inheritance of the Rakshasa God would never have gone to Bibi Dong.

Even in the world of overly dramatic love-brain plots, Chen Ming thought this woman was the most extreme of extremes.

After hearing this lengthy explanation, Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and collapsed to her knees in exhaustion. Her tightly gripped sword slipped from her hands and casually stabbed into the ground. Her entire being seemed to have lost its soul. Not only had she lost the will to resist, but even her thoughts had ceased.

This was because, from a young age, this madwoman had been by her side as an elder, caring for her. In Qian Renxue's heart, her position was akin to that of a mother or grandmother, one of the people she trusted most.

Watching the pained Qian Renxue, the madwoman laughed wildly, no longer concealing her spirit power.

"First Soul Skill: Heavenly Net.

Second Soul Skill: Earthly Web.

Third Soul Skill: Spider's Strength."

Yellow, yellow, and purple soul rings exploded with power. A large amount of spider silk sprayed from the lower half of her body, instantly forming a massive web.

Even though Chen Ming's domain was already filled with poison and death energy that began dissolving the web instantly, the enhancement of her third soul skill slowed the dissolution to a crawl.
