Inside the resplendent office, Bibi Dong, dressed in a loose pontifical robe, sat on a leather sofa, quietly reviewing documents.

A guard stood before Bibi Dong's desk, his expression utterly respectful, not daring to overstep in the slightest. Your Eminence the Pontiff was not known for having a good temper.

Bibi Dong suddenly spoke, her voice cold and devoid of even the slightest human emotion.

"So, you came in just to report such a trivial matter?"

The guard felt the pressure multiply, cold sweat pouring down his back as he immediately dropped to one knee.

"I would not dare. I merely felt that this young lady is His Highness Su Xuan's girlfriend, so her status is somewhat special. I did not dare make a decision on my own. I beg Your Eminence's forgiveness."

Bibi Dong's indifferent voice came again.

"Fine, get up. I have nothing to blame you for. She is, after all, the Saint Son's girlfriend. It is only natural that you wouldn't dare make the decision. Go let her in, then withdraw."

The guard left trembling. Once outside, he felt as though he had just taken a trip through the gates of life and death.

Damn it, no matter how generous the pay and benefits were, he would never do this job again. It was far too dangerous! He felt that Bibi Dong's aura had nearly killed him.

Naturally, the guard did not know that this was merely a woman's overwhelming jealousy.

With an ashen face, the guard arrived at the entrance to the hall and mechanically said:

"Miss Zhu Zhuqing, Her Eminence Bibi Dong requests your presence."

Zhu Zhuqing gave the guard a strange look. Why did he look so drained? How odd. Still, Zhu Zhuqing did not think much of it. They were not acquainted, after all.

After Zhu Zhuqing left.

The guard on the left patted the guard on the right's cheek and asked with concern:

"What's wrong, brother?" They had been friends since childhood and were practically inseparable.

He had instantly noticed his good friend's low spirits.

The guard on the left said gloomily,

"Let's resign."

The guard on the right was straightforward.

"Sure. If you don't want to stay, just tell me. This position is quite lucrative, so there definitely won't be a shortage of people who want it. If you're willing, we can leave tomorrow."

The guard on the left was deeply moved.

"You're not even going to ask me why?"

The guard on the right smiled.

"Between good brothers, there's no need for words."

The guard on the left was moved. Crying, he threw himself into the guard on the right's arms and even rubbed his head against the other man's chest.

"But what will we do afterward? We spend money so freely and haven't saved much..."

"Hahaha, it's fine. His Highness Su Xuan is a good man. We've served loyally for several years, so we'll get a decent retirement payout. Besides, if we're willing to give up such a good post and speak to the captain of the guard, he can pull some strings to place a few people here. That'll be another source of income. We can negotiate with him, and that'll bring in a considerable sum too."

"Oh my, you know so much."

The two gazed sweetly at each other, their affection profound.

Su Xuan would never have imagined that one day, people would fleece him like this...

Zhu Zhuqing arrived at Bibi Dong's office. The decorations here were luxurious without sacrificing taste.

Zhu Zhuqing walked in with calm, quiet steps.

Zhu Zhuqing could clearly feel that after entering this office, the cold, sinister presence that had been watching her vanished, as though it feared something.

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze turned solemn. This Eminence's strength was unfathomable...

Bibi Dong frowned. This black-haired little girl, damn it! Why, why did she seem bigger than me!?

Could it be that Little Xuan liked this girl because of that? I refuse to accept it!

Bibi Dong watched Zhu Zhuqing approach her. Her eyes flashed, and her beautiful brows furrowed. Where was that unpleasant smell? Heh, she still dared look at me?! Courting death?

Zhu Zhuqing stood blankly before Bibi Dong's desk. Then Bibi Dong suddenly rose to her feet, obvious anger appearing on that perfect, exquisite face, as if someone had touched one of her taboos...

Then Zhu Zhuqing watched Bibi Dong leave like a bolt of lightning.

Leaving Zhu Zhuqing alone where she stood, utterly bewildered...

The blond-haired, white-clothed man with mismatched eyes let out a low, furious roar as he sped along, as though warning someone not to go too far!

Bibi Dong followed behind, completely dismissive of that warning.

"Tch, someone whose strength hasn't even recovered to ten percent? What are you putting on airs for? You dared enter my territory? Don't you know that the strong all have territorial instincts? This is an obvious provocation! Have I gone without making a move for so many years that trash like you can now jump around so happily?"

The Evil Eye Saint King felt deeply wronged. What the hell did I even do? I merely looked at you once, and you're hunting me down like this?

If Zhu Zhuqing or Su Xuan had been here, they would have easily recognized this blond-haired, white-clothed man with mismatched eyes. Wasn't this Dai Mobai? But how could Dai Mobai possess such terrifying power? Thus, this was the ancestor of the Evil Eye Clan, the Evil Eye Saint King. After thousands of years, he had finally appeared upon the Douluo Continent once more.

"Woman, taking advantage of my weakened state to hunt me down? Heh, don't let me escape. Otherwise, you will regret it!"

Bibi Dong found it amusing. Naturally, she knew of the Evil Eye Saint King. After all, the Evil Eye Saint King of the Star Luo Empire had been unable to be summoned for the past several centuries. Spirit Hall had largely been responsible for that.

"My heavens, you don't actually think you can escape, do you? Are you trying to make me laugh myself to death so you can hurry up and run away? Hahaha."

The Evil Eye Saint King felt deeply mocked by this lowly woman. The anger nearly drove him mad, but the Evil Eye Saint King was, after all, an old monster who had lived for thousands of years. What storms had he not weathered? He remained as steady as ever, constantly shifting position to evade attacks and occasionally setting small traps to keep Bibi Dong from pursuing him too easily.

Bibi Dong sneered and accelerated once more.

"Heh, you old fool. At your age, you've lived like a dog. What a piece of trash."

Ordinary people could not even comprehend the battle between the two. It was a contest of profound laws, hidden from sight yet all the more dangerous and lethal. The slightest mistake could mean total defeat.

However, anyone knowledgeable would notice that Bibi Dong was practically chasing the Evil Eye Saint King down and beating him. The Evil Eye Saint King occasionally managed a little counterattack, but it was largely insignificant.

Suddenly, Bibi Dong instantly gave up the pursuit and fled directly to the rear.

The sky was quiet for a long time before a voice laced with suppressed fury rang out.

"I don't believe I've been exposed."
