Three Rules (Begging for Votes)

Watching Qian Xunji's departing back.

Bibi Dong stroked her chest and let out a long breath. She had finally escaped disaster.

Still, using a rare External Soul Bone as the price for putting on an act made Bibi Dong's heart ache.

That eyesore of an old bastard had finally gotten lost. Just looking at him was irritating.

After Qian Xunji left, Du Bai could not help muttering inwardly.

His thoughts reached Bibi Dong's ears again. She glanced at Du Bai, but there was no unusual expression on his face.

"Is this my hallucination, or Du Bai's thoughts? Can I really hear Du Bai's thoughts? This is a little absurd."

Bibi Dong pondered it, still somewhat uncertain.

After all, she had never heard Du Bai's thoughts before. Why could she suddenly hear them now?

She had to test whether she could truly hear Du Bai's thoughts.

Soon, the wedding banquet ended.

Bibi Dong and Du Bai returned to their candlelit bridal chamber.

The moment they entered the room, Bibi Dong boldly and proactively approached Du Bai, pressing her sexy, alluring body directly against him.

Feeling the softness beside him and smelling her fragrance, Du Bai's heart gave a fierce thump.

Holy shit. This... this... is she going to do that?

Du Bai's thoughts became incoherent.

There were only two people in the room, and Du Bai's thoughts entered Bibi Dong's ears once again.

Confirmation complete.

Very good. Excellent. She really could hear Du Bai's thoughts.

Du Bai, standing beside her, steadied himself and reached out with his large hand, about to pull Bibi Dong into his arms.

But at that moment, Bibi Dong timely withdrew her tantalizing body.

"Dong'er, come here, let me hug you."

Unwilling to give up, Du Bai reached forward and made to embrace her.

Smack.

Bibi Dong gracefully swept her slender arm, striking Du Bai's hand hard and knocking away the hand that sought to embrace her.

"Dong'er, what are you doing?"

His hand stung slightly. Du Bai spoke in confusion and resentment.

Weren't you the one who came close to me? Why did you hit me?

"Oh my, one little test and you gave yourself away. So our iron-faced Holy Son can fall for someone too."

Bibi Dong spoke with a hint of mockery.

One had to know that Du Bai had always kept away from women and human relationships.

Many beauties had wanted to get close to Du Bai, and many higher-ups had wanted to curry favor with him, but all of them had been mercilessly turned away.

Even when they were young, an elder had once suggested that the Holy Son and Holy Maiden arrange a childhood betrothal, but Du Bai had rejected it and even explicitly told them not to pull such stunts again.

"Heh, I'm a man. You pressed yourself against me, and I'm not even allowed to touch you? Besides, I was only testing what exactly you meant."

Du Bai spoke stubbornly and bluntly, but inwardly, he was deeply annoyed.

Damn it, I missed such a great opportunity. I almost got to feel the goddess's softness.

Hearing Du Bai's words and thoughts, Bibi Dong froze, feeling as if she had let a wolf into her home.

So this bastard... when I went to ask him to fake a wedding with me, I had to plead with him again and again, and in the end, I had to bring out a precious External Soul Bone before he agreed.

This is outrageous.

If she had not been able to hear Du Bai's thoughts, Bibi Dong would have nearly been fooled by his outward appearance.

So, Your Highness the Iron-Faced Holy Son has feelings for me.

Being liked was a form of affirmation for a woman, and it always gave one an excited sense of vanity.

Especially when it came from a monstrously talented person who had always seemed detached from worldly affairs.

She said nothing, but Bibi Dong was delighted inside.

"I'll remind you one more time. I hope you do not harbor any improper thoughts. You and I are only pretending to be married. If you dare to overstep, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Bibi Dong glared fiercely at Du Bai.

"Don't worry. I have no feelings for you. Since I accepted your Soul Bone, I'll keep my promise and help you put on this act properly."

Du Bai spoke calmly, though a trace of slyness flashed through his mind.

Ah, Dong'er is really hard to pursue. But do you understand turning a fake act into reality? Since we're husband and wife, we have to stay together when we sleep too. Feelings grow over time, feelings grow over time.

Naturally, Bibi Dong heard Du Bai's thoughts.

"Du Bai, I want to lay down three rules. If you cannot follow them, you must return that External Soul Bone to me."

Bibi Dong said.

Dong'er, how childish. Three rules? Is it just that you won't let me touch you? I never wanted this External Soul Bone in the first place. I'll find a chance to return it to you.

Du Bai thought this, but still cooperatively said, "Go ahead. What are these three rules?"

Bibi Dong, who could hear Du Bai's thoughts, had a slightly strange expression on her beautiful face.

"What is wrong with Du Bai? He actually wants to find a chance to return the External Soul Bone to me? What is he thinking? Did he get something wrong? This is the External Spirit Bone: Six-Winged Purple Light Wings. It's incredibly rare."

Bibi Dong remained calm on the surface.

Although she already knew Du Bai's thoughts, Bibi Dong had no intention of showing it.

"The three rules are simple. First, you may not touch me without my permission. Second, you may not get on my bed without my permission. Third, in front of others—especially the Pope and the elders—you must act as though you love me deeply. That's all."

"No problem. Easy."

Du Bai replied decisively.

Du Bai knew.

Bibi Dong had only recently broken up with Yu Xiaogang, and she had also quietly fallen out with her teacher, Qian Xunji. This was when she trusted others the least.

Everything had to happen naturally. Forcing things would only ruin them.

He could not use force now. Haste made waste. In time, Bibi Dong would naturally become his.

There was plenty of time. Heh.

"Fine. Starting tonight, you sleep on the floor. You are not allowed to get on this bed."

Bibi Dong said, then pointed at the carefully decorated festive red bed.

"Mm."

Du Bai nodded on the surface, but inwardly, he was already unleashing his little universe.

Aaah! This is too miserable. On my wedding night, I actually have to sleep on the floor. Is anyone more miserable than me? Woman, keep playing with fire, aaah!

Forget it, I'll go see what good things are in the System Gift Pack. The No-Spoiler Upgrade Gift Pack System doesn't sound like it has any tricks to it. Mm, not bad, not bad.

Naturally, Bibi Dong heard Du Bai's little complaints.

However, his thoughts concerning the system and gift packs were mysteriously and perfectly blocked.

Bibi Dong could not hear any thoughts concerning the system or gift packs!

"Du Bai's inner thoughts are rather strange and cute. They are completely different from his outward coldness."

"What strange things are even inside Du Bai's head?"

A trace of curiosity flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes. She wanted to explore Du Bai's inner world.

This was the first time Bibi Dong had been able to hear someone else's thoughts. It was rather interesting.

Who would know that their inner thoughts could be overheard? That was why Du Bai's inner world was somewhat uninhibited.

Once I become a Titled Douluo and ascend to godhood, I'll definitely torture Qian Xunji, Yu Xiaogang, the Three Sects, and the Seven Monsters Protagonist Group like crazy. Who told them to oppose my Dong'er in the end!

Oh. No. I'm already a level 84 Soul Douluo. I can torment the Protagonist Group first.

"Mm, not bad. Time to open the gift pack!"

Du Bai's inner world was truly wonderful.

Note: Thoughts concerning the system and gift packs will be blocked, so Bibi Dong cannot hear them!

I hadn't set things up properly at the start of writing! If there are any inconsistencies, everyone can just skip past them!

They are very minor, probably only one or two sentences, or even none at all, and will not affect the reading experience!
