Bo Saixi Paves the Way for Bibi Dong

Bo Saixi knew full well how powerful Lu Jin was.

A mundane drug like this certainly wouldn't work on him, so she had actually brought it back to study.

She wanted to find out how the eyeball stirred a living being's desires, then reproduce the effect using her own Soul Power and the Power of Faith she had collected.

As a homebody who had shut herself away on Sea God Island for a century, Bo Saixi had research skills that were no joke.

In just one day, she had thoroughly grasped how the thing worked.

Rather than arousing lust, it stirred the imagination, making people feel as though they were actually there. Only then did desire arise.

Put plainly, it created an illusion that only the person it was used on could see.

The corners of Bo Saixi's lips rose. "In that case, making a drug that can affect a god isn't impossible."

Bo Saixi wasn't afraid of being found out. At worst, Lord Ancient God would thoroughly suppress her. Wouldn't that be a reward in its own way?

Over the next few days, she busied herself with the prayers coming through the statue while setting about researching the drug.

Perhaps it was because the commoners who made their living from the rivers had received a "god's" attention for the first time. As Bo Saixi resolved more of their troubles, more and more people began to pray.

Gradually, Bo Saixi could even feel her strength increasing.

This improvement didn't come from Soul Power. Rather, she had touched upon the power of a rule stirred by faith.

Meanwhile,

a conflict had also arisen between the Clear Sky Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Ever since Yu Luomian had brought Yu Xiaogang back, Yu Yuanzhen, upon hearing about the outrageous business of Yu Xiaogang trying to drug a woman, had taken Yu Xiaogang straight to the Clear Sky Sect to arrange a betrothal.

In Yu Yuanzhen's view, Yu Xiaogang had reached the age when distracting thoughts arose and he wanted to get close to women.

After all, Yu Luomian hadn't dared say that Liu Erlong was his daughter.

Yu Xiaogang hadn't exposed him either. He understood that if he revealed Yu Luomian's disgraceful secret, he would be the one who suffered more today.

Inside the Clear Sky Sect.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had brought all the agreed-upon betrothal gifts.

Yu Yuanzhen had come in person. He cupped his fists toward Tang Wei. "Brother Tang, can we finally settle the marriage between the two children?"

Tang Wei had long been at his wits' end.

So much time had passed, yet Tang Yuehua had vanished as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth. No matter how they searched, they couldn't find a trace of her.

With Tang Yuehua gone, settling the betrothal would be like planting a bomb.

But Tang Wei couldn't bear to give up the Soul Bone. Though the Clear Sky Sect had deep foundations, it was far behind Spirit Hall, and a Soul Bone held far-reaching significance for the sect.

And so, Tang Wei steeled himself and set the wedding date.

But after the date was set, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan showed no intention of leaving. Yu Yuanzhen suggested that Sect Master Tang have his daughter come out so the two children could have a proper chat.

Yu Yuanzhen didn't want to wait any longer. Yu Xiaogang was up to some new mischief every day, and the alliance had to be settled as soon as possible.

That, however, put Tang Wei in a difficult position.

Where had Tang Yuehua gone? She really didn't know. If Tang Wei had known, he would have called Tang Yuehua out long ago.

Seeing Tang Wei's hesitant manner, Yu Yuanzhen asked in puzzlement, "Sect Master Tang, is there something difficult to speak of?"

Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Tang Wei gritted his teeth. "To tell you the truth, Sect Master Yu, that unfilial daughter of mine went missing some time ago. We still haven't found her."

Yu Yuanzhen's expression changed. "If you haven't found her, how did you dare haggle with me like that?!"

Tang Wei's expression grew a little strained too. "Why don't we settle the betrothal first? Once I find that unfilial daughter Yuehua, I'll send her straight to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. How about it?"

Yu Yuanzhen flew into a rage. "What a fine scheme, Sect Master Tang! You want the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's treasures, but you won't hand over the bride. Are you taking our clan for a bunch of easy marks?!"

Hearing that, Tang Wei could no longer hold back either. He shouted angrily, "You have the nerve to say that, Sect Master Yu? Who was it who said your son was handsome and dignified? Yet outside the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was hugging a dog..."

With his family's shame brought up again, Yu Yuanzhen somewhat lost his composure. "It was a story twisted out of rumor upon rumor, and you believe it too?!"

Tang Wei said calmly, "You know better than anyone whether it's true! A man like that wants to marry my daughter, so what if I make him wait a few more days?!"

Yu Yuanzhen's face darkened. "Since you have no sincerity, Sect Master Tang, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will take its leave!"

With that, Yu Yuanzhen took the clan members and the betrothal gifts straight back home.

Once Yu Yuanzhen and his party had disappeared, Tang Xiao and his brother, who had been listening the whole time, finally spoke up. "Father, what do we do now?"

Tang Wei cursed angrily. "That unfilial daughter! Keep looking for her! As long as we find her, the betrothal with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan can still go ahead!"

Tang Wei was determined to obtain that Soul Bone!

A few more days passed in the blink of an eye.

Bo Saixi's work on the drug was nearing completion.

She knew Lu Jin liked drinking sugar water, so she made the newly concocted drug the same color as granulated sugar. That would make its purpose even harder to discern.

Bo Saixi didn't know what dose would knock Lu Jin out, so, to be safe, she poured in nearly half a bowlful. There were even wispy clumps floating in the water after she mixed it.

But none of that mattered. She had observed that Lord Ancient God didn't examine the water she and the others brought him closely.

Only when Bibi Dong brought him something would Lu Jin inspect it from every angle and make sure there was nothing wrong before using it.

After mixing the "little sugar water," Bo Saixi took advantage of Lu Jin's absence while he was guiding Ah Yin's cultivation in the Mimicry Training Ground. She secretly left the water in his room, then began dressing herself up.

But as evening approached, another prayer came.

With no choice, Bo Saixi had to deal with the prayer first. Who would have thought that this time it would keep her busy until midnight?

Lu Jin had a habit of drinking water before bed. Only then could he sleep soundly.

He looked at the water on his bedside table and immediately noticed something was wrong.

Lu Jin also glanced at the Threads of Fate and, to his surprise, found that this thing was connected to both Bo Saixi and Bibi Dong.

He sighed helplessly. Having one little devil like Bibi Dong was troublesome enough, but Bo Saixi turned out to be another!

Lu Jin decided to preserve the evidence and put the cup of water on the table. If he poured it out right away, Bo Saixi would surely want him to suppress her and would confess, but that Bibi Dong definitely wouldn't admit to it.

This time he had to punish them severely, without leniency. Otherwise, Bibi Dong really would take him for a pushover!

Before long, a maid arrived carrying warm water.

Lu Jin was just about to drink it and go to sleep when Bibi Dong knocked and entered the room.

Bibi Dong happily showed him. "Senior, with the Immortal Herb's help, my Martial Souls have successfully fused!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong released her Martial Soul. It was no longer the Spider Emperor, filled with an evil presence. The fused Martial Soul was very restrained.

Lu Jin narrowed his eyes at the Martial Soul. From it, he sensed a faint trace of the rules unique to gods.

The Rakshasa God?

Lu Jin looked at Bibi Dong. Sure enough, her Threads of Fate had undergone a tremendous change, connecting directly to the Divine Realm.

Bibi Dong wasn't the Rakshasa God's reincarnation, but her Martial Soul had an inseparable connection to the Rakshasa God.

This girl actually had the qualifications for Self-Created Godhood too.

With the foundation of a First-Level God, as long as Bibi Dong fully absorbed the Rakshasa God's authority and comprehended new laws on her own, creating a godhood wasn't impossible.

Lu Jin smiled and gave her a rare word of praise. "Well done. Keep cultivating. Your new Martial Soul will give you quite a surprise!"

"Mm-hmm!" Bibi Dong nodded with a smile, her gaze falling on the cup on the maid's tray. "I've been cultivating all day. I'm a little thirsty."

With that, Bibi Dong reached for the water on the maid's tray.

But before she could take it, she suddenly froze, a look of wisdom appearing on her face. "Hahaha, I won't fall for it again! That's the cup of water I can drink, right?!"

Bibi Dong's sudden change of mind caught Lu Jin off guard. By the time he reacted, she had already downed that cup of water in one gulp.

Almost instantly, Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed scarlet, and her gaze grew hazy.

The maid's heart skipped a beat.

Oh no, something's gone wrong again.

Lu Jin was dumbfounded too. Bibi Dong always managed to do things that made his vision go black.
