Tap, tap, tap~

Just as Wang Xiao was about to show himself, he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from the gate. He immediately ducked back behind the tree and peered toward the entrance. Could I really be this unlucky? Did Bibi Dong come back?

"Your Holiness!"

Thud~

The gate opened, and a beautiful figure entered from outside.

Wang Xiao looked over. If it was not Bibi Dong, who else could it be?

He had not expected her to return so quickly. It seemed he would have to take some risks to get into her bedroom today!

Wang Xiao sighed. There was nothing he could do about it.

The mission assigned by the system had to be completed.

Besides, there would be a reward afterward.

It was not a loss.

Even if it was dangerous, he had to give it a try.

Bibi Dong walked to the door, and the two guards immediately saluted her.

Wang Xiao hid behind the tree, exposing only half his head and a pair of eyes as he watched Bibi Dong.

He saw Bibi Dong quietly say something to the two female guards, both Soul Douluo-level.

The two female guards acknowledged her and left through the gate together.

Wang Xiao did not know what Bibi Dong had said to the two Soul Douluos, but she must have assigned them something to do.

He did not care about that.

He only wanted to complete the sign-in and leave this terrifying place as soon as possible.

Then everything would be fine.

Bibi Dong pushed open the door and entered the house.

Wang Xiao felt that his chance had come.

He had just been worried that the two guards at the door would make it difficult to enter. Now that they had left, things were much easier.

He waited for a moment.

When Wang Xiao saw the patrol guards heading around the back of the house, he immediately slipped to the entrance. He first pushed the door open and peeked inside.

Inside was a lavish hall. Sunlight streamed through crystal glass windows on both walls, making the entire place brilliantly lit.

The hall's furnishings were not what mattered. What mattered was that Bibi Dong was not in the hall. She had probably gone into one of the rooms.

Wang Xiao seized the chance and slipped inside. After gently closing the hall door, he was more than halfway to success.

All he needed to do next was find Bibi Dong's bedroom, complete the sign-in, and get out of there immediately.

Thump, thump, thump~

Suddenly, the sound of water came from one of the rooms, freezing Wang Xiao in place. Could Bibi Dong, who just came back, be doing something in there?

Or perhaps this was her bedroom.

At that thought, Wang Xiao's heart began to race. This was becoming troublesome.

Bibi Dong was inside. Going in now would be like walking straight into a trap, throwing himself right into the line of fire.

But he could not simply leave either. He had worked so hard to get in—how could he miss such a perfect opportunity?

Thud~

The sound of water came from the room again.

Wang Xiao's heart stirred. At last, he stretched out both hands and gently pushed the door open a crack. Pressing his head against the door, he peered inside with one eye and finally saw the scene within.

The room was fairly large. Crystal flooring and a floor-to-ceiling crystal window illuminated it brightly.

Purple curtains hung over the window to block the sun, though they were currently pulled open.

A double bed stood by the window toward the inner side of the room, covered in purple sheets and a silk quilt.

Above it hung a small white crystal lamp.

The room was also spotless. Only a room occupied every day could remain free of dust.

Wang Xiao was delighted. There was no need to think further—this was undoubtedly Bibi Dong's bedroom.

He knew Bibi Dong far too well. She would never allow anyone into her room. Not even Qian Renxue came here, let alone anyone else.

Since Bibi Dong was nowhere to be seen in the room, Wang Xiao felt this was the best opportunity possible.

He immediately pushed the door open, entered, and gently closed it behind him.

"Ding! Congratulations, you have successfully signed in at Bibi Dong's bedroom in her residence. Reward: one set of Invincible Golden Body Enhanced Version! It can be learned. Learn it?"

The system's loli voice spoke.

Invincible Golden Body?

Why did this technique sound so familiar to Wang Xiao?

Then he suddenly remembered. Xiao Wu had used a technique called Invincible Golden Body.

So it was that Invincible Golden Body. Once activated, the entire body turned golden, impervious to water and fire, immune to blades and spears. It seemed similar to the Iron Cloth Shirt from that world.

Its weakness was the enormous Soul Power consumption. It could only be used a limited number of times and would fail after lasting only a few seconds.

"Learn it!" Wang Xiao replied.

"Ding! Xiao Xiao is learning one set of Invincible Golden Body Enhanced Version."

Wang Xiao immediately sat cross-legged on the spot and began learning automatically.

"Ding! Xiao Xiao has learned one set of Invincible Golden Body Enhanced Version. Note: This technique may not be used more than five times a day. Each use lasts ten seconds."

Wang Xiao nodded. Just as expected.

Still, lasting ten seconds each time was already very good.

When his life was in danger, it could at least save his life temporarily.

Five uses meant five chances to save his life.

But that was only if he had enough Soul Power. Otherwise, he might not even be able to use it once.

Fine!

Wang Xiao did not dwell on it. He had completed the sign-in, and having a reward was enough.

Right now, leaving this place as soon as possible was more important than anything else.

Wang Xiao turned and immediately went to open the door.

Thump, thump, thump~

But another burst of water sounds came from behind him, making him stop at once.

What was going on?

Curious, Wang Xiao turned back to look. He saw a curtain drawn across the back of the room, and he could not tell whether there was a wall behind it or another space.

Yet the water sounds were clearly coming from beyond it.

Curiosity killed the cat. That was exactly how he felt right now.

He immediately walked over, pulled open a small gap in the curtain with his hand, and peered inside.

Suddenly, Wang Xiao's eyes widened as he saw an entirely different sight.

Inside was another small room. A floor-to-ceiling crystal window lit it brightly, while a small bath pool sat in the center.

The entire bath pool was paved with crystal stone as well.

It was filled with warm water, and the rising mist proved it.

At that moment, a woman lay on her back in the bath, completely naked. Her fair skin and slender figure were enough to stir anyone's imagination.

Damn~

Wang Xiao swallowed hard. Though he currently had the body of a teenager, he had been a young adult before his rebirth, even a year older than Tang San had been before crossing over.

Now, in his fully developed fifteen-year-old body, how could he not be stirred by the sight before him?

Especially when he saw that the person in the bath was none other than Bibi Dong, his heart burned with even greater curiosity.

"Who's there?"

Just as Wang Xiao was absorbed in watching, a sharp demand rang beside his ear, making his heart tremble. Only then did he realize that Bibi Dong had suddenly vanished from the bath.

Oh no!

Had he been discovered?

Wang Xiao silently groaned. If she had truly caught him peeping at her bath, then with the shadow Qian Xunji had left in her heart, if she caught him today, even the Heavenly King himself would probably be reduced to dust before her?

He had only one thought: run.

But when he turned toward the door, he discovered that a tall woman was already standing there.

She wore a thin blue long dress that covered her slender body just enough, though it could not conceal her sensuality.

Only then did Wang Xiao see clearly that the woman before him had long hair cascading over her chest. It was Bibi Dong without her crown.

He had to admit, without her crown, she possessed a different kind of beauty from when she wore it.

Luckily, he was wearing a mask. Otherwise, if she saw his face, he could forget about surviving around here in the future!

"Who are you? Why did you sneak into my bedroom and peep at me bathing?" Bibi Dong demanded, hatred blazing in her eyes.

Why?

Wang Xiao wanted to know why himself. He could not exactly tell her that the system had sent him.

He could not say that.

Even if he did, she would not believe him.

Escaping with his life was more important!

But Bibi Dong was blocking the room's door. The only route left was the window.

"I-I-I..." Wang Xiao said as he edged closer to the window, trying to delay Bibi Dong from attacking. He planned to smash through the window before she could react. "Your Holiness, please calm down. I merely got lost. I did not intentionally enter your residence. I am truly sorry."

"You did not mean to, yet you got lost?" Bibi Dong did not believe him at all. Her emotions were also nearing the breaking point as Soul Power surged across her body.

Buzz, buzz, buzz~

Immediately, nine Soul Rings emerged beneath her feet: yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black, red.

They circled around her body, adding even more to her beauty.

Seeing her in person truly surpassed her reputation. Bibi Dong was indeed a Level Ninety-Nine peak Douluo. Her First Martial Soul had one yellow, two purple, five black, and one red Soul Ring!

Though Wang Xiao felt Bibi Dong was even more beautiful at this moment, death was at his doorstep. How could he have the mood to admire her? Escaping was what mattered.

He took a few more steps toward the window, but he could not let Bibi Dong suspect that he intended to leap out. He could only distract her with words. "Your Holiness, please believe me. If I am lying to you, may I walk outside and be killed by a tree. Is that enough?"

"First Martial Soul True Body, Death Spider Emperor!"

Clearly, Bibi Dong had no intention of giving the intruder in her residence a chance to explain. She unleashed her First Martial Soul, and her body immediately transformed into the form of her First Martial Soul True Body.

Wang Xiao was nearly scared to death.

After transforming, Bibi Dong's upper body was covered in a layer of purple-black armor.

Even her face was concealed beneath a shell-like carapace.

Four smaller eyes had grown beneath her two main eyes.

Her legs vanished as well, while everything below her abdomen transformed into a massive round body.

Eight thick, long legs extended beneath the round body, covered in dense green hair and dripping with nauseating slime.

Whenever the slime hit the ground, it made constant sputtering sounds and corroded the surface fiercely.

It had to be said that Bibi Dong was no longer Bibi Dong at this moment, but a gigantic venomous spider.

Fortunately, Wang Xiao had read the original Douluo Dalu book and was mentally prepared. He knew that Bibi Dong's Martial Soul Avatar transformed her into the form of a Death Spider Emperor. Otherwise, he truly would not have been able to adapt to the sight so quickly.

If he did not run now, then when would he?

Bang!

Wang Xiao used all his strength to leap into the air. With a Mizong Fist Accelerated Version, he struck the floor-to-ceiling crystal glass window, shattering it to pieces and successfully escaping Bibi Dong's bedroom.

He landed downstairs, flipped to his feet, and ran for his life.

If I use Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version, I should be able to outrun the eight legs of Bibi Dong's Death Spider Emperor true form.

Whoosh~

But just then, a purple-green shadow flashed past him and instantly blocked his path. There was nowhere left to go.

Luckily, Wang Xiao stopped quickly. Otherwise, he would have crashed straight into the massive creature ahead.

Wang Xiao stared at it, his face turning pale. The enormous creature before him was Bibi Dong in her transformed Death Spider Emperor form. He had not expected her to be faster than his Lingbo Weibu Accelerated Version.

Thinking about it, though, it made sense. She had eight legs while he only had two, and her abilities were far beyond his. It was perfectly normal that he could not outrun her.

Now that there was no way out, it seemed he could only fight to the death!
