Bibi Dong's Little Black Room! Reader Group Number at Chapter End

Bibi Dong was completely stunned.

As the Pope, of course she had seen her share of the world.

But External Soul Bones were absolutely among the few things capable of shocking her.

One had to know that even Titled Douluo coveted soul bones beyond measure.

Take Elders Ghost and Chrysanthemum, for example—even between them, they had yet to gather a full set of six ordinary soul bones.

As for External Soul Bones, which were even rarer and had an even lower drop rate—

Even counting those reclusive figures within the Elders' Hall, the entire Spirit Hall had fewer than could be counted on one hand.

If Xiao Xuan had merely absorbed an ordinary soul bone, she would not have reacted so strongly.

After all, there were already more than enough miracles surrounding him.

But an External Soul Bone—the second-ranked treasure on every soul master's dream list—

How could a six-year-old child possibly obtain something like that so casually?

"An External Soul Bone?"

"Wait, could what Her Majesty means be..."

"My god, Xiao Xuan wasn't advancing—he was absorbing such a divine treasure!"

At that moment, everyone standing nearby was part of Spirit Hall's core.

Bibi Dong had not deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke.

Naturally, everyone—including Xie Yue and Yan—heard the details clearly.

At once, everyone's mouths fell open.

Their faces were filled with disbelief, soon followed by bitter expressions.

Originally, they were all favored geniuses, the hope of Spirit Hall's next generation.

Though there were stronger and weaker among them, it had still remained within an acceptable range.

Until Xiao Xuan appeared and completely shattered all convention.

Three Lives Martial Soul, innate level twenty-nine Soul Power.

There was no need to even mention those ridiculously overpowered talents for now.

If that guy had merely been increasing his level—

Though Xie Yue and Yan would have felt frustrated, they could at least still feel envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Considering his talent, it was not entirely impossible to understand.

But now, from the mouth of the Pope they respected most—

They learned that Xiao Xuan had not been advancing, but absorbing an External Soul Bone. That was just too damn much!

Even after hearing this news—

Xie Yue and Yan, the two miserable brothers, no longer had the heart to feel envy, jealousy, or resentment. All they felt was profound powerlessness.

When someone was only a little better than you—

Most people would surely think of working hard, then surpassing them.

That had been the mindset behind Xie Yue and Yan targeting Xiao Xuan in the beginning.

But when someone was far too much better than you—

That drive to improve would instead be worn away.

If no amount of effort could surpass the existence ahead of them, then they could only let nature take its course.

At that moment, Xie Yue and Yan exchanged a glance.

The same thought arose in both their hearts.

So what if his sister was taken? So what if his goddess was taken?

No matter how they struggled, it was useless!

It wasn't that we weren't trying hard enough—the enemy was piloting a Gundam!

"You don't need to think too much about it."

"A genius like Xiao Xuan might not appear even once in ten thousand years."

"He has already exceeded every known boundary."

"There's no need to force yourselves to compete with him. Just focus on being yourselves."

"Spirit Hall is an enormous organization."

"With Her Majesty the Pope leading us, we also need executors like ourselves."

As if seeing through their thoughts, Chrysanthemum Douluo lightly waved a hand.

The words were well-intentioned, but they truly stung when spoken aloud.

The members of the Spirit Hall Battle Team all nodded to show that they understood.

But in their hearts, how could any of them truly feel good about it?

"Look at yourselves. What do you all look like now?"

"Remember, you are Spirit Hall's future."

"Could such a small setback have made you lose your drive to improve?"

"Living in the same era as a prodigy like Xiao Xuan—"

"You could call it a tragedy, but you could also call it a blessing. It depends on how you choose to see it."

Although Bibi Dong had a cold personality, she was not entirely devoid of human feeling.

She still held high expectations for these promising Spirit Hall youths around her.

Seeing this, she issued a solemn warning.

Every sentence carried a faint trace of Soul Power.

It struck at the hearts of everyone present, including Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

This was to prevent these people from developing irreparable shadows because of Xiao Xuan's talent or the External Soul Bone.

Just as they were thinking about it—

A tremendous boom erupted from the wooden cabin ahead.

He was merely absorbing a soul bone, yet it sounded like a demolition site.

Wood chips flew everywhere, and smoke and dust filled the air.

Everyone immediately composed themselves and turned their gazes in that direction.

They saw that the wooden cabin had vanished.

Only Xiao Xuan remained, seated cross-legged as he slowly opened his tightly shut eyes.

In an instant, azure-blue light shone from his right eye.

Carrying a terrifying pressure, it intimidated everyone except Bibi Dong and Ghost Chrysanthemum Douluo.

And this was precisely the soul skill derived from the Azure Eye.

So-called Intimidation was, in simpler terms, "scaring someone."

It was a restraint aimed at the mind, combining confinement, hallucinations, mental interference, and more.

"Ah, everyone's here!"

"Oh? Your Holiness the Pope, the two elders are here too."

As he withdrew the Azure Eye's skill, Xiao Xuan's gaze returned to normal.

At the same time, he clearly saw the situation around him.

When cultivating, destroying a house was basic stuff.

But he had not expected to alarm Bibi Dong again.

Now, the External Soul Bone could no longer be concealed.

Since that was the case, he could only put his specialty to use.

Bluff! Bluff his way through it no matter what!

"Xiao Xuan, are you alright?"

"If there is nothing serious, come over and explain yourself now."

"Where did you get the legendary External Soul Bone?"

Bibi Dong fixed him with a deep, imposing gaze.

There was no blame in her tone.

But one could clearly hear the curiosity and anticipation filling it.

"Cough, cough, this?"

"Reporting to Your Holiness, didn't I return to my hometown some time ago?"

"This External Soul Bone is actually a treasure passed down through my Xiao Clan."

"When my father heard that I had joined Spirit Hall, he got so excited that he gave me the family heirloom."

Xiao Xuan spun the lie without hesitation, dumping the blame on his cheap father.

After all, given the talent he had displayed—

Even Bibi Dong would not commit murder and robbery over an External Soul Bone.

Since it had been discovered, he might as well increase his weight in her eyes.

As for whether she would send people to Nuoding City afterward to investigate the truth.

Tch, wasn't that obvious?

But it didn't matter. He had never expected Bibi Dong to believe him completely.

As long as he made his stance clear—that he had no intention of laying all his cards on the table for now.

She probably wouldn't press too hard either.

"Mm, I see."

"Who would've thought that the little Xiao Clan possessed such a treasure?"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to steal your opportunity."

Her voice was fairly gentle, but her expression was somewhat cold.

Bibi Dong stared at him, practically wearing the words "Like hell I believe you" across her face.

Such a clumsy excuse—did he really think she was an idiot?

Hmph. There would come a day when he had to ask her for help.

"Enough, disperse."

"Think carefully about what I just said."

"As for you... Xiao Xuan, you're far too fond of causing trouble. I really can't rest easy."

"Come with me. From now on, you'll cultivate alongside Nana."

"You can leave Pope's Palace once your cultivation has stabilized."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she gave Xiao Xuan no chance to refuse.

Her Soul Power wrapped around him, carrying him with her as they flew toward Pope's Palace.

That was right—this was blatantly locking him in solitary confinement.

Bibi Dong rolled her charming eyes, unable to stop herself from grumbling inwardly.

He even dared to fool the Pope. If she didn't teach him a lesson now, wouldn't he turn the world upside down someday?!
