"Tut, he really has suffered some serious social trauma."
Tang Qinghe clicked his tongue inwardly. His face remained impassive as he glanced at Elder Sister Bai and said, "Then put him in the deepest, darkest, dampest, most disgusting cell in the whole Martial Soul Palace—the one with nothing but men. I'm sure Jade Little Sister will have a terrible time there."
"Yes, Your Holiness." Elder Sister Bai nodded. She summoned several guards, all of them at the peak of the Martial Soul realm, to carry Jade Little Sister away.
When he was dragged into the deepest cell in the Martial Soul Palace, Jade Little Sister finally panicked. He screamed at the top of his lungs, "No! Your Holiness! Concubine! You can't treat me like this! I'm the son of Yu Yuanzhen, the head of the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan! You can't treat me like this in the Martial Soul Palace! My father won't let you get away with this..."
Seeing that Elder Sister Bai and Bibi had no intention of letting him go, Jade Little Sister dropped all pretense and shouted, "Tang Qinghe, you bastard! You took my spirit bone and tore apart the Blue Lightning Overlord Clan! You have Bibi, yet you still dare to treat me this way! Just wait until I get out. I won't let you get away with this..."
Elder Sister Bai grew furious again. "How dare you insult His Holiness and Concubine! Let me beat that foul mouth of yours..."
Before she could finish, Jade Little Sister was struck across the face by a guard's slap.
Then another guard slapped him.
Smack! Smack! Smack!...
It didn't take long for Jade Little Sister's face to become a bloody mess. He passed out from the pain.
"Concubine, please follow me..." Elder Sister Bai gave Bibi a somewhat uneasy look. After all, he had taken Jade Little Sister's spirit bone, and it had cost him thirty thousand-year spirit essence.
"Oh, you did well." Tang Qinghe didn't bother asking whether Elder Sister Bai had accepted the bribe.
He had to have a good reason to help the Martial Soul Palace's enemies.
It was best to leave Bibi to deal with the matter herself.
As for Jade Little Sister, he had already planted the seed of a grudge in his heart. As long as Bibi didn't kill him, that was enough to change her fate.
Tang Qinghe had no intention of interfering in the fate of this son of a bitch. If he killed him, wouldn't that mean losing a major antagonist? No, that wouldn't do.
Jade Little Sister was chained up and locked in the eighteenth level beneath the Imperial Prison. Qian Duo Xuan reported the whole matter to the Pope.
The Pope wore a purple-and-gold crown and a purple robe. Qian Duo Xuan stood before him in golden armor, his pale hair streaked with gray.
"Bibi is far too kind. I had my concerns, but who would have thought she'd really bring Jade Little Sister back?" the Pope said.
The speaker was none other than the Pope himself, who had taken in Jade Little Sister as a disciple and taught him the Martial Soul Palace's canonical texts. It seemed that Jade Little Sister's claim—that His Holiness had accepted him because of his good qualities—was entirely believable.
Had he not been the heir to the throne and possessed the power of the Ghostly Demon, he might have been treated even worse.
That was hardly surprising.
After all, even the clearest water could not remain pure.
Even if he wanted to settle old scores, it would not be Bibi who dealt with him. It would be the Pope.
"Your Holiness, that little bastard Jade Little Sister dared to harbor improper thoughts about Concubine. Should we just kill him...?" Qian Duo Xuan asked.
The Pope waved his hand, interrupting Qian Duo Xuan before he could finish.
"No. He's already been locked away. He's just one of the many criminals in the Imperial Prison. Just have someone watch him closely and find out the Martial Soul Palace's secrets from him. Once you've gotten what you need, throw him out of the Martial Soul Palace. As for that little beast, since Concubine has already decided his sentence according to the Angelic Canon, then let her handle it."
Qian Duo Xuan clasped his hands.
Then, his eyes narrowed. "As for Tang Qinghe, lift his ban on leaving seclusion. Let him return home. He's not from the Martial Soul Palace, after all."
"Yes."
On Qian Duo Xuan's orders, Jade Little Sister's eight-year imprisonment was thus settled.
The Imperial Prison stood deep in the mountains, in a place where sunlight never reached.
At the very bottom of the dark prison stood a three-story building.
It was called the Netherworld Dungeon.
It was the most terrifying cell in the Martial Soul Palace, yet also where the Palace kept its most vicious criminals. The death-row inmates housed there were all heinous villains. They were left to fend for themselves.
From the outside, the prison looked unremarkable. The three-story building was merely where the guards lived.
The dungeon had a sunken courtyard, with eighteen levels extending underground.
It had been a wretched place for many years.
By the time Jade Little Sister regained consciousness, he had already been thrown into the eighteenth level beneath the Netherworld Dungeon, into cell number eleven.
Waiting for him was a dark, narrow cell. Its walls and floor were covered in bloodstains, and the shadow of a towering figure loomed over him.
No one knew what had happened to Jade Little Sister in the prison.
All they knew was that Jade Little Sister had vanished for eight years. When he emerged again, he had risen to the Spirit Body Rank. He traveled with a young guide named Luo Tianfeng, and together they entered the Hidden Dragon Spirit Realm.
Just as Jade Little Sister entered cell number eleven and regained consciousness, a wild light began to shine in Tang Qinghe's eyes.

[Yu Little Sister's Favorability: -100] [Jade Little Sister's Favorability: -100. Congratulations, host, you've earned ten chances to draw a reward. Please pay attention to your personal safety.]
"Tut, that bastard really is a lucky one."
Tang Qinghe had already restrained Bibi and helped her wash up. Sitting on the bed, he watched the System screen that had suddenly appeared before him. He clicked his tongue inwardly and silently said, System, give me ten consecutive draws.
[Congratulations, host, you received a Million Year Spirit Stone.] [Congratulations, host, you received an Immortal Herb: Golden Dragon Ginseng Fruit.] [Congratulations, host, you received a Million Year Spirit Stone.] [Congratulations, host, you received a Million Year Spirit Stone.] [Congratulations, host, you received a Million Year Spirit Stone.] [Congratulations, host, you received a one-time Soul Ring replacement card.] [Congratulations, host, you received a divine core.] [Congratulations, host, you received a ten-thousand-year Soul Ring consolidation card.] [Congratulations, host, you received a five-thousand-year Soul Bone age upgrade card (increases the age of any Soul Bone by five thousand years).] [Congratulations, host, you received an Immortal Herb: Golden Dragon Ginseng Fruit.]
"Jade Little Sister really is a lucky one. Another Immortal Herb, a Soul Ring replacement card, a Soul Bone age upgrade card, and a divine core worth five thousand years of cultivation. This is a huge jackpot!"
Tang Qinghe's heart skipped a beat. He immediately helped Bibi, who was still limp from their lovemaking, up from the bed. She knelt before him and began to help him clean himself.
It was a night of wild passion.
The next day, when Tang Qinghe returned to his room, he woke earlier than Bibi.
He was worried that if he stayed where he was, she would wake up and start a fight.
