The Fourteenth on the Golden Ranking Revealed, Bibi Dong!

Was this the famed Boss Yang of Chang'an?

Normally aloof and unattainable, cold as frost to everyone.

Yet before this youth, she was so gentle and alluring?

If looks could kill, Li Xin would probably have been pierced by ten thousand arrows by now.

Meanwhile.

Zhu Zhuqing was still sitting blankly on the ground.

Her black skintight leather outfit had not been damaged in the battle just now, but it was covered in quite a bit of dust.

At this moment, she looked like a doll that had lost its soul.

Dead?

Dai Mubai had died just like that?

That Dai Mubai who always boasted, "I'm the boss," and acted so arrogantly... was he really dead?

Zhu Zhuqing's mind went blank.

Although she had long since lost all feelings for Dai Mubai and even felt nothing but disgust toward him.

They had, after all, grown up together, bound by an engagement.

Seeing him so easily erased now was simply too great a shock.

"Serves him right!"

"Exactly! Scum like him deserved to die!"

"Why doesn't he piss and look at himself in the mirror? Was Taibai Restaurant a place where he could run wild?"

"He actually dared harbor such vile thoughts toward Boss Yang. This young master killed him well!"

The diners' discussions around her pierced Zhu Zhuqing's ears like steel needles.

Her whole body trembled, and she finally snapped out of her daze.

So...

So that was how it was.

The reason Dai Mubai had insisted on making trouble here, the reason he had fought the White-robed Swordsman so fiercely, was actually because he wanted to forcibly take Yang Guifei?

Zhu Zhuqing's face instantly turned incomparably ugly.

A powerful wave of shame and anger surged through her heart.

And here she had rushed in to help him without regard for anything, even using their Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

So she had merely been used as an accomplice!

Used as a tool to satisfy his selfish desires!

"Bastard!"

Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth and cursed fiercely in her heart.

She was not angry over Dai Mubai's death.

She was angry at her own stupidity!

She raised her head and looked at the youth not far away.

That terrifying existence who had casually crushed Dai Mubai to death.

At that moment, Li Xin happened to look over as well.

Their eyes met.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a chill run through her entire body, as though some primordial beast had fixed its gaze upon her.

But she did not back down.

A trace of stubbornness appeared on that cool, stunningly beautiful face.

She struggled to her feet. Though her body still swayed, her back remained straight.

Her fiery figure was perfectly outlined by the skintight leather outfit.

Especially the surging curves before her chest, which rose and fell violently with her rapid breathing.

"Kill or torture me as you please."

Though Zhu Zhuqing's voice was weak, it was exceptionally resolute.

Since she had lost, there was nothing more to say.

She had been inferior in skill. If she died, she deserved it.

She, Zhu Zhuqing, had never been someone afraid of death.

Seeing her ready-to-die expression, Li Xin's eyes flashed with amusement.

He had no intention of making a move.

He did not harbor much ill will toward this Catwoman toyed with by fate.

Just as he was about to speak.

Yang Guifei gently tugged at his sleeve beside him.

"Li Lang..."

Yang Guifei's beautiful eyes appraised Zhu Zhuqing, and a trace of admiration flashed in their depths.

Woman to woman, she could see the stubbornness and unwillingness in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes.

She could also guess Zhu Zhuqing's anger after learning the truth.

"This lass is pitiful too. She met the wrong man."

Yang Guifei spoke softly, her voice gentle and melodious.

"And... look at her figure and bearing. With a little training, she'd definitely be excellent material for dancing."

"Why not leave her to me?"

"Wonderful Sound Workshop happens to need a few new headliners. I think she'd be perfect."

As Yang Guifei spoke, she even winked at Li Xin with an expression that said, "You know what I mean."

Li Xin was slightly taken aback.

Wonderful Sound Workshop?

Making the dignified Hell Spirit Cat dance?

That idea... was rather interesting.

He looked at Zhu Zhuqing and nodded indifferently.

"As you wish."

Two words decided Zhu Zhuqing's fate.

Yang Guifei immediately beamed with joy.

She had not expected Li Xin to indulge her so readily, and her heart overflowed with delight.

"Li Lang is the best!"

Yang Guifei cried out happily.

Then.

Before everyone's eyes.

She rose onto her tiptoes, wrapping her jade-like arms around Li Xin's neck.

Her red lips parted slightly before pressing heavily against Li Xin's cheek.

Smack!

A crisp sound rang out.

That kiss was filled with passion and gratitude, even carrying a deliberate hint of declaring her claim.

After the kiss, Yang Guifei did not let go. Instead, she hung her entire body against Li Xin, her full and delicate figure pressed tightly to him like a boneless beauty snake.

Her face was flushed like peach blossoms, her gaze hazy. She was clearly moved by desire.

"Gasp—"

A wave of sharp inhalations instantly rose from the surrounding crowd.

Countless hearts shattered at that moment.

Their goddess had actually kissed a man in public!

And she even looked completely ready to let him have his way!

This was simply... too enviable!

"Hmph!"

Just then, a delicate snort sounded.

Gongsun Li, who had been standing in the back with her umbrella, puffed out her little mouth so much it could have held an oil bottle.

Her Rabbit Ears drooped, and her large eyes were filled with resentment.

"That's too much!"

"I want a kiss too!"

Gongsun Li stamped her foot indignantly. Her aggrieved little-wife appearance made everyone's hearts itch unbearably.

Just who was this youth?

Not only did he have an exquisite Rabbit Ear Girl by his side, but he could also make Yang Guifei fall for him so completely.

He was simply a winner in life!

Li Xin shook his head helplessly.

He reached out and lightly patted Yang Guifei's pert rear.

"Alright, stop fooling around."

The gesture was natural and intimate, yet carried a hint of teasing.

Yang Guifei let out a soft cry. Her face reddened even more, but she could not hide the smile in her eyes.

Reluctantly, she let go and adjusted her clothes, recovering some of her dignity as the proprietor.

Yet the look she gave Li Xin was still full of longing.

Li Xin turned around and beckoned to Li Bai, who was still drinking nearby.

"Let's go. Let's see how Mozi is doing."

The matter here had already been settled, and he had no interest in staying any longer.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, since he had left her to Yang Guifei, there was no need for him to worry about her.

Li Bai laughed heartily and drained the remaining wine in his jug.

"At your command!"

Their figures flashed, and the two vanished from the main hall.

Leaving behind a group of diners still utterly stunned.

After Li Xin left, the seductive look on Yang Guifei's face instantly faded.

She walked gracefully over to Zhu Zhuqing.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing wore a bewildered expression.

She did not know what Wonderful Sound Workshop was, nor did she know why this breathtakingly beautiful woman had saved her.

But she knew that she would not die.

And that man... seemed truly powerful, so powerful that it inspired despair.

"Come with me, little kitty."

Yang Guifei extended a slender finger and gently lifted Zhu Zhuqing's chin, a playful smile curling across her lips.

"From today onward, you belong to my Wonderful Sound Workshop."

"Forget that good-for-nothing. You'll find a new life here."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the peerlessly beautiful face before her, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

She wanted to refuse.

But when she thought of her current situation, Dai Mubai's death, and that terrifying youth...

In the end, she silently nodded.

No matter where she went, it would be better than returning to that so-called Shrek Academy.

There was nothing there worth her attachment anymore.

Yang Guifei nodded in satisfaction, took Zhu Zhuqing's hand, and led her toward the back of the restaurant.

Leaving behind a group of eager diners still reliving the thrilling scenes they had just witnessed.

At this moment.

The Heavenly Curtain outside trembled once more.

The Golden List's radiance did not dim with the night. Instead, it grew even more dazzling.

The shock caused by Qian Renxue's Fifteenth Place had yet to fade when a new ranking appeared.

[Martial Soul Ranking, Fourteenth Place!]

[Name: Bibi Dong!]

[Affiliated Power: Spirit Hall Empire (Papal Palace).]

[Martial Souls: Death Spider Emperor, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor (Twin Martial Souls)!]

The moment these large words appeared, the entire continent once again fell into brief Deathly Stillness.

Bibi Dong!

The Empress of the Spirit Hall Empire!

One of the greatest powerhouses of the present age!

And she was only ranked Fourteenth Place?

She even possessed Twin Martial Souls!

How was that possible?

If Qian Renxue's Fifteenth Place had already shocked everyone before, then Bibi Dong's ranking completely overturned everything they knew.

Within the Light Screen, the scene shifted.

The scene shifted to the Papal Palace in Spirit City.

On the lofty papal throne, an incomparably beautiful figure sat lazily.

She wore a Purple-Gold Pope Robe, a Nine-Bend Purple Gold Crown upon her head, and held a scepter symbolizing authority in her hand.

The robe's slit rose extremely high, exposing a pair of long, straight, flawless beautiful legs crossed together. Against the purple halo, they exuded a fatal allure.

Her skin was whiter than snow, and her features were as exquisite as the most perfect masterpiece crafted by heaven.

Her pale purple eyes carried an overbearing majesty that looked down upon the world.

However.

At this moment, that stunningly beautiful face was filled with astonishment.

"Fourteenth Place?"

Bibi Dong's red lips parted slightly as she stared at the Ranking on the Heavenly Curtain, her eyes full of disbelief.

"This Seat possesses Twin God-Tier Martial Souls, and my cultivation has reached the peak of Rank Ninety-Nine."

"And I can only rank Fourteenth Place?"

She slowly rose to her feet, her Purple Robe swaying with her movements and outlining her breathtaking curves.

Her chest was full and upright, her waist slender as a willow branch, and her hips round and perky.

She was not merely an Empress with terrifying strength, but also a peerless beauty with an unparalleled face.

Bibi Dong clenched her scepter tightly, her knuckles turning faintly white.

She refused to accept this!

She had sacrificed so much and endured for so many years to achieve what she had today.

Yet she could not even enter the Top Ten on this list?

This was simply an insult to her!

Meanwhile.

In a remote courtyard somewhere within Heaven Dou City.

Yu Xiaogang sat on a stone stool with a dejected expression.

He had sensed the aura of the Hell White Tiger that had erupted within the city earlier as well.

That was Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

He had originally been planning to call Tang San and the others out to search for them and see whether something had happened.

But the moment he stepped outside, he saw the Ranking on the Heavenly Curtain.

In that instant.

Yu Xiaogang was completely dumbfounded.

He stared blankly at the three words "Bibi Dong" and the glaring words "Fourteenth Place."

"Th-this... how is that possible?"

Yu Xiaogang rubbed his eyes vigorously, thinking he had seen it wrong.

In his Theoretical System, Twin Martial Souls represented the highest talent and were the symbol of invincibility.

Bibi Dong was also the most perfect genius he had ever seen in his life.

Even Tang San had been a "replica" he had painstakingly cultivated step by step according to Bibi Dong's model.

In his eyes, Bibi Dong would not have been out of place in the top three, or even in first place.

But now.

Reality had slapped him hard across the face.

Fourteenth Place.

Only Fourteenth Place!

What did that mean?

It meant that on this continent, at least thirteen people possessed Martial Soul Quality superior to Bibi Dong's Twin Martial Souls!

This completely overturned the Martial Soul Theoretical System he had built over decades!

"Impossible... absolutely impossible..."

Yu Xiaogang muttered to himself, his face turning incomparably pale.

"This ranking must be wrong!"

"Something must have gone wrong somewhere!"

He could not accept this fact.

If even Bibi Dong could only rank Fourteenth Place, then what about his disciple, Tang San?

And what about the "Grandmaster" theories he had always been so proud of?

Would they not all become a joke?

Above the Heavenly Curtain, large golden Ancient Seal Script flowed like molten lava, radiating Blazing Heavenly Might that no one dared look upon directly.

The people who had still been finding Bibi Dong's ranking unbelievable had their attention completely seized by the rewards that followed.

They were no ordinary rewards, but blessings capable of changing the entire continent's balance.

[Martial Soul Ranking, Fourteenth Place reward distribution!]

[Reward One: Complete attribute evolution of Twin Martial Souls! Break through mortal limits and advance to God Level!]

[Reward Two: Bestow four God-Bestowed Soul Rings! Two for each Martial Soul! If dissatisfied with the current Soul Ring configuration, they may be freely replaced. Their age will depend on the recipient's endurance, with no upper limit!]

The instant these lines appeared, the entire Douluo Continent fell into deathly silence, followed by an uproar like a tsunami.

Martial Soul Evolution!

And the Twin Martial Souls would evolve simultaneously!

There were even four God-Bestowed Soul Rings, capable of replacing the original low-age Soul Rings!

What kind of heaven-defying generosity was this?

Inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong's hand, which had been gripping the scepter so tightly that her knuckles had turned white, slowly loosened.

The astonishment in her pale purple eyes had long since faded, replaced by unrestrained ecstasy.

Her dissatisfaction with being Fourteenth Place vanished completely in that instant.

So what if her rank was low?

As long as the tangible benefits reached her hands, that was what truly mattered.

Boom!

An incomparably terrifying dark green pillar of light suddenly shot from Bibi Dong into the sky, piercing directly through the roof of the Papal Palace.

Within the pillar of light, two enormous phantoms slowly emerged.

They were no longer the savage, ugly spiders they had once been.

With the Golden List's divine power pouring into them, the Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor began undergoing intense transformations.

Their shells shed away, and newly formed armor gleamed with a crystalline dark purple luster, as though forged from the most perfect Amethyst.

The venomous stingers that had once been filled with evil now radiated a strange sense of holiness.

They were Deities who governed death and devouring.

[Death Spider Emperor Evolution—Death Spider God!]

[Soul Devouring Spider Emperor Evolution—Soul Devouring Spider God!]
