"Clean this floor thoroughly!"Bibi Dong's cold voice rang out.
"Yes!" Two Hall Guardian Knights immediately fetched water and scrubbed the floor clean.
Yu Xiaogang felt a wave of embarrassment. However, he noticed that Bibi Dong's gaze felt somewhat unfamiliar. He hadn't expected such a bizarre situation to suddenly unfold.
This wasn't just a random episode—it was far weirder. He had clearly just drunk tea. How did it turn into that?
It was disgusting enough to make him want to vomit."I'm going to the restroom first!"
Yu Xiaogang quickly asked the Hall Guardian Knights to let him go. He rinsed his mouth and brushed his teeth several times before returning.
Bibi Dong sat on her throne, dressed in an elegant black robe embroidered with gold patterns, wearing a nine-loop purple-gold crown on her head, and holding a two-meter-long scepter encrusted with countless gemstones. Her fair skin and nearly flawless face made her look truly exceptional.
Especially the intangible aura of nobility and sanctity emanating from her—it made people instinctively want to bow down in reverence.
When Yu Xiaogang saw Bibi Dong's eyes and expression, his heart sank. Memories flowed like a tide. He had thought their reunion might feel different, but instead, she was cold and impatient. His heart felt heavy and disappointed.
Bibi Dong, as if having reached a conclusion, looked at Yu Xiaogang with indifference:"Why have you come to see me?"
"Are you doing okay?"
Yu Xiaogang asked awkwardly, a sense of foreboding in his gut:"About earlier… I'm sorry."
"I'm doing great. I'm above all others, the ruler of the Spirit Hall. Even the emperors of the two great empires show deference to me."Bibi Dong's voice was clear and captivating, just as beautiful as ever.
"Bibi Dong, I know the pain you carry in your heart."Yu Xiaogang shook his head helplessly.
"Bibi Dong? You're bold. Address me as 'Your Holiness.' I am no longer that foolish girl you once knew! And I hold no pain in my heart."
When Bibi Dong heard Yu Xiaogang's words, her gaze turned cold. After all, she was the youngest Pope in the history of the Spirit Hall, and there had been much skepticism when she rose to power.
But with time, she governed with diligence and led the Spirit Hall to unprecedented heights. The doubts faded.
She was even hailed as the most outstanding Pope in the history of the Hall.
"Very well, Your Holiness."Yu Xiaogang's pupils contracted slightly, a trace of pain in his eyes. He reached for the teacup but stopped halfway. Falling into his memories, he finally said,"I have a request."
"Oh? Speak."Bibi Dong said indifferently.
"Your Holiness, I want to know how you overcame the ordeal of possessing twin spirits."
Yu Xiaogang asked earnestly.
"Oh? And what significance does this have for you?"Bibi Dong asked.
"I took in a disciple. He has trained with me for seven or eight years. His talent is extraordinary. I want him to become a powerful figure."
Yu Xiaogang answered truthfully, his eyes firm and filled with hope for Tang San.
"You're talking about the boy who reached level forty at such a young age? The one with twin spirits and a ten-year fourth spirit ring, Tang San?"
Bibi Dong sneered,"Indeed, he's talented. But why is his fourth spirit ring only ten years? That's laughable. Just like you—laughable."
"You…"
Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up, reaching toward Bibi Dong's shoulder, trembling with rage, his face twisted in anger.
"Ding, storyline modification task triggered."
[Wang Xiaogang reaches for Bibi Dong's shoulder, Bibi Dong swiftly dodges.] – Four words may be edited.
Zhang Fan, with a thought, changed "swiftly dodges" to "performs a back throw."
"Ding, storyline modification successful. 40 modification points awarded."
Wang Xiaogang reached for Bibi Dong's shoulder. In a flash, Bibi Dong performed a back throw, slamming Yu Xiaogang hard onto the ground.
"Aaaah…"Yu Xiaogang screamed in agony, lying on the floor like a dying dog.
"Such nerve! Who allowed you to touch me?"
Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned. She had only intended to dodge, not let Yu Xiaogang touch her. She hadn't expected herself to suddenly perform a back throw.
The throw left Yu Xiaogang dizzy and in agony.
"Aaaah…"
Yu Xiaogang moaned in pain, his face pale."Cough cough…" He coughed several times, slowly crawling up and wiping the blood from his lips with the back of his hand.
Of course, Bibi Dong hadn't used full strength. If she had, Yu Xiaogang would've been reduced to a bloody mist by that back throw.
"Bibi Dong, you… You treat me like this? But Tang San is my life's pride. He's not someone you can mock!"
Yu Xiaogang was furious."I have no children of my own—he's like a son to me!"
"Oh… you've really changed. Your voice is neither male nor female, and so disgusting. Get out! I couldn't care less about Tang San! His life or death means nothing to me!"
Bibi Dong had no desire to see Yu Xiaogang again."Shoom…" With one kick, she sent Yu Xiaogang flying.
"Aaaah…"Yu Xiaogang screamed as he shot off like a cannonball.
"Damn it!"
Yu Xiaogang landed face-first like a dog, seething with rage. He never expected Bibi Dong to be this heartless. First a back throw, then a kick, all while ignoring his questions. He was furious.
Had her past love for him all been a lie?
He felt indignant and desolate.
He couldn't believe it ended like this. But he still gathered the courage to shout:"It's been twenty years, Bibi Dong—you're still so beautiful, but I've grown old. And now you won't even tell me the secret threatening Tang San's life. You were the first person I ever loved!"
"Stop disgusting me. Slap his mouth!"Bibi Dong's face darkened completely upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's words.
"Yes!" The two Hall Guardian Knights rushed over, grabbed Yu Xiaogang, and began slapping him—"Smack smack…"
"Aaaah…" he cried out. In no time, Yu Xiaogang's face was swollen, blood trickling from the corners of his mouth. His face puffed up like a pig's head.
Only then did Bibi Dong order the knights to let go.
"You… you truly hate me this much. If it weren't for the now-deceased Qian Xunji forcing me to leave you back then, we wouldn't have ended up like this. Bibi Dong, you've disappointed me too much!"Yu Xiaogang said helplessly and turned to leave.
He hadn't expected Bibi Dong to be so ruthless—to actually strike him.
It broke his heart.
Bibi Dong watched Yu Xiaogang's devastated and forlorn figure…
And felt delighted.
"You have your disciple. I have the one I love. Why would I share such a secret with you?"
After speaking, Bibi Dong waved her hand, sending the teacup Yu Xiaogang had just used flying out the hall doors. It shattered into pieces, and she ordered her subordinates to clean up the fragments.
Her mood was actually quite good. She no longer hated Yu Xiaogang.
Before meeting Zhang Fan, she had hated Yu Xiaogang.
But after meeting Zhang Fan, she had someone else in her heart. Compared to him, this old, ugly, and weak Yu Xiaogang sparked no interest in her at all.
Even her hatred for him faded.
Whenever she thought of Zhang Fan, she even felt a bit inferior. After all, Zhang Fan was so young, so handsome, and freakishly talented. Even as Pope, she felt she might not be worthy of him.
