Bibi Dong Beside Herself with Joy

He doesn't recognize me?

Li Mubai found it rather funny.

As an elder of Spirit Hall, he had actually been arrested by his own people.

If word of this reached Bibi Dong, he wondered how she would handle it.

Still.

It was only natural that Xiao Li didn't recognize him.

He had never been one to show off and flaunt himself everywhere.

And he had only become an elder of Spirit Hall a couple of days ago.

It had been the day before the grand meeting.

At his request, Bibi Dong had not made the matter public either.

Only a few of Spirit Hall's elders and consecrators knew him.

As for everyone else.

Perhaps they had heard of him through the grapevine.

But they had never seen him in person.

"That man is a hero, a real man, but what a shame. Once he goes into the City Guard Office, he'll lose at least a layer of skin."

"Heaven has no eyes! Good people never get their just reward, while the wicked roam the world without a care..."

"Don't go with him! If you run now, there's still time. But once you go in, the Wild Wolf Gang will definitely get revenge on you."

The residents silently prayed for Li Mubai.

"Let's go, shall we?"

Xiao Li soon came up beside Li Mubai and spoke with an arrogant look.

"Wait."

Li Mubai interrupted him.

"What? Don't tell me you're thinking of resisting?"

"If you resist, I really can't catch you. But... can you handle the experts Spirit Hall sends after you?"

"Spirit Hall's influence covers the entire continent. Unless you flee to the Star Dou Great Forest, you'll be caught in the end, no matter which corner of the world you run to."

Xiao Li openly threatened him.

Li Mubai was somewhat speechless.

Xiao Li spoke so arrogantly. Had no one taught him how to behave?

It was just as the saying went:

Give a man an order for a day, and he'll wield his power...

He had truly forgotten how much he actually weighed.

Whenever he saw someone, he thought they ought to fear him.

They both wore shoes, so who was afraid of whom?!

At worst, blood would splatter within five paces.

"Shouldn't these people be taken back for questioning too?"

Li Mubai pointed at some of the people on the ground.

"What is there to investigate? Aren't the facts already obvious? You're the main culprit behind this incident!"

Xiao Li looked a little impatient.

Seeing that Li Mubai seemed ready to argue with him and say something else, Xiao Li dropped the act altogether:

"Cut the nonsense. If I say you're the culprit, then you are. Hurry up and move!"

Faced with such an arrogant Xiao Li, who called a deer a horse, Li Mubai ultimately went with him.

It wasn't that he didn't dare resist.

Rather, he also wanted to see what other tricks Xiao Li had up his sleeve.

Most importantly, he wanted to establish Xiao Li's corruption and perversion of the law as fact.

Then he could deal with these people openly and justly.

Of course.

If he simply used brute force to crush them, there was nothing they could do either.

But.

Li Mubai was feeling playful now.

At this moment, he was also very curious.

How exactly would these people react once they learned his true identity?

There was also another thing.

He wanted to see exactly what Bibi Dong thought of this matter.

If she was willing to use this incident to lock arms with the consecrators and elders.

Then it wasn't as though he couldn't agree to what Bibi Dong wanted of him.

He was bored anyway.

Why not change a few things and have some fun?

Before leaving.

Li Mubai looked back and cast a quick glance at a large tree on the street.

The Pope's Hall.

Bibi Dong's bedchamber.

Inside the bathroom, in a huge bathtub.

A graceful figure was there.

Her beautiful hair hung down the side of the tub like ten thousand trailing green silken ribbons.

A fair, slender arm roamed over her body.

White steam filled the bathroom, lending it a hazy air.

It was Bibi Dong, taking a bath.

Ever since she had seen the layout of the rooms in Li Mubai's home.

She had ordered someone to partition off a space in her own quarters and build a bathroom.

"It really is nice."

A faint smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

Inside the room.

A gentle breeze appeared out of thin air and softly skimmed over two towering mountain peaks.

The breeze continued to circle the mountains for several minutes.

Only then did it slowly recede.

In the bathtub.

A faint blush appeared on Bibi Dong's face.

Just then.

A voice suddenly sounded outside the room:

"Your Holiness, I have an urgent matter to report."

Bibi Dong, who was just beginning to enjoy herself, suddenly had the movement of her hand interrupted by the voice.

In an instant.

Her face was once again covered in frost, her expression cold and stern.

"Didn't I say not to interrupt me while I'm bathing?"

Bibi Dong's voice was like a north wind in the depths of winter, carrying a bone-piercing chill.

"Y-Your Holiness, it's about the Tenth Elder."

The voice outside the door sounded hesitant.

But in the end, she still told her the facts.

"Li Mubai?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback.

What could that bastard be up to at this hour?

Had he fled in the night?!

At that thought.

Bibi Dong couldn't help asking, "What is it? Don't tell me he left Spirit City in the middle of the night?"

Ever since the day Li Mubai became an elder, Bibi Dong had secretly ordered someone to keep an eye on him.

At the slightest rustle of wind or grass, they were to report to her.

"No."

Hearing that.

Bibi Dong's slightly tense expression eased.

The message had been so urgent that she had thought Li Mubai had simply run away.

As long as he hadn't run away, everything was fine.

Right now, Li Mubai was a treasure trove waiting for her to discover.

If he really ran away, she would suffer an enormous loss!

Most importantly.

Once Li Mubai was gone, what other means would she have to change Spirit Hall's fate of destruction?

So nothing could be allowed to happen to Li Mubai!

Even if everyone in the Elder Hall died, leaving only Li Mubai.

She would still secretly count herself lucky that heaven had blessed her.

"If not, then what is it?"

The chill in Bibi Dong's tone lessened somewhat, though it remained flat.

"The Tenth Elder... was arrested by people from the City Guard Office."

The maid's voice rang out.

When it reached the bathroom, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes froze.

Li Mubai had been arrested by people from the City Guard Office?

People from a mere City Guard Office had managed to arrest Li Mubai, a Titled Douluo?

Bibi Dong wore a strange expression and couldn't help asking again:

"How was he arrested?"

The respectful voice outside the door rang out again:

"The Tenth Elder went willingly."

Hearing this.

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow.

He went willingly?

What exactly was Li Mubai trying to do?

"Your Holiness, there's one more thing. The woman watching the Tenth Elder said that before he left, he looked back at her."

As Bibi Dong pondered, the voice reached the bathroom once more.

Hearing this.

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and suddenly understood a little.

Li Mubai

was testing her attitude!

Earlier.

She had asked Li Mubai how to generate revenue for Spirit Hall.

At the time, she had heard his inner voice answer.

To generate revenue, they had to start with the system.

Moreover.

There was a very good chance they would face opposition from some of the consecrators.

At that thought.

Bibi Dong couldn't help feeling delighted.

Because this proved one thing.

Li Mubai was finally willing to help her!
