After leaving the Worship Hall, Bibi Han asked Qian Renxue, "Little Xue, how have your recent missions been going?"

"Same as always. I'm slowly poisoning Xue Ye to death. It may still take more than ten years."

Qian Renxue's tone then changed. She looked at Bibi Han with some concern and asked, "Little Han, do you think I'm a vicious woman, using such underhanded means as poison?"

"No. Poison is also a weapon. It has no inherent good or evil; what matters is what it is used for. If it is used to deal with utterly evil Soul Masters, then it is good. If it is used to harm commoners, then it is the greatest evil."

"I even think using this method to kill that old useless Xue Ye is letting the old thing off too easily. Let that guy die while sitting on the emperor's throne," Bibi Han replied.

As an emperor, would Xue Ye not know what the nobles beneath him were like? Of course he knew, because Xue Ye himself was one of them. In fact, he wanted the nobles below him to be like that, so they would not pose any threat to his throne.

Qian Renxue burst out laughing. "Old useless, old thing... he's an emperor of his generation, and that's how you speak of him?"

Bibi Han replied without concern, "What's wrong with that?"

"Come on, let's stop talking about him. Let me see whether you've fallen behind in your cultivation lately."

"You think you can fight me? Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?" Qian Renxue raised her delicate fist and said playfully.

"I never said we were testing combat strength. I'm testing your use of spiritual power. Come on."

Qian Renxue rarely came back, and she had to hide her cultivation in the Heaven Dou Empire. Since that was the case, he would accompany her in training for a while.

Bibi Han took Qian Renxue's jade-like hand. Her cheeks reddened at this, but she showed no displeasure.

The two arrived at a bamboo grove, where Bibi Han fashioned a small hammer and a sword from bamboo.

"Little Xue, let's use spiritual power as our eyes and spar with each other. How about it?" Bibi Han asked.

"Sure." Qian Renxue readily agreed.

Bibi Han tossed the wooden sword to Qian Renxue and closed his eyes. Qian Renxue did the same.

"Come on, Little Xue."

With their spiritual power turned into eyes, they saw a world seemingly devoid of color. Sword and hammer collided again and again, their strikes constantly meeting amid the bamboo grove.

As they fought, their movements grew faster and faster. Qian Renxue's bamboo sword continuously stabbed toward him, while Bibi Han wearily parried and retreated again and again. Throughout the exchange, all his spiritual power was focused on Qian Renxue. For a moment, he failed to notice a bamboo shoot beneath his feet and was tripped as he backed away. Qian Renxue stepped forward and was tripped as well, falling down onto him.

The two lay on the ground, and the entire world seemed to fall silent for a time.

Bibi Han lay on the ground, looking at Qian Renxue pressing down on him and feeling their current position.

Their posture was extremely intimate. Qian Renxue's entire body was pressed against his, while his lips were planted on her left cheek.

So this is what Qian Renxue's body feels like? So soft, so fragrant.

Bibi Han subconsciously wrapped his arms around her, and he held her rather tightly.

After Qian Renxue came to her senses, she hurriedly lifted her head. Her face flushed red as she looked at Bibi Han and said coquettishly, "Why aren't you letting go of me already?!"

Looking at Qian Renxue's shy, beautiful face and smelling the girl's fragrance, Bibi Han foolishly answered, "Oh," before releasing his arms.

Just then, a pleasant voice rang out. "Big Brother, take me out to play!"

The voice belonged to Na'er, who had gotten Bibi Dong's permission to come find Bibi Han.

At that moment, Na'er ran into the bamboo grove and saw a golden-haired woman pressing down on Bibi Han. For some reason, she immediately became extremely angry and shouted, "Who are you? Why are you on top of Big Brother? Get off him now!"

Na'er was clutching Bibi Han's arm with both hands, her large eyes glaring at Qian Renxue, her face full of possessiveness.

Qian Renxue also looked angrily at Na'er. So this is that woman's disciple? She's actually so beautiful. Looking at Na'er's exquisite face, Qian Renxue could not help but marvel.

Qian Renxue had always been extremely confident in her own appearance, believing that no one could surpass her. Yet when she looked at Na'er, she felt that Na'er's appearance was now evenly matched with hers. If this little girl grew any older, Qian Renxue would probably fall short by a degree.

Qian Renxue sensed an enormous threat.

Seeing the way these two were acting, Bibi Han could not help worrying. Both Qian Renxue and Gu Yuena were proud to the extreme. Though Qian Renxue no longer put benefits above all else, the overwhelming possessiveness born from her pride as a peerless genius could not be changed. Na'er was the same. As the Soul Beast Lord, her possessiveness was equally terrifying, even without her memories.

Looking at the two locked in confrontation, Bibi Han thought that he had to ease the tension between them. They're my only two female friends.

"Don't get worked up, Na'er. That was just an accident. Let me introduce you. This is Sister Little Xue."

"Little Xue, this is Na'er."

Qian Renxue shot Bibi Han a fierce glare, then continued glaring angrily at Na'er. Na'er glared right back without yielding.

Bibi Han hurriedly said, "Let's play a game, a game that can only be played with three people: Fight the Landlord."

"Fight the Landlord?"

"Big Brother, what kind of game is that?" Na'er asked.

Qian Renxue also wore a puzzled expression.

"Hehehe, I'll teach you."

"Big Brother, you lost again!" Na'er and Qian Renxue stuck another two strips of cloth onto Bibi Han's face.

After who knew how many rounds, Bibi Han's face was almost completely covered in cloth strips, while the other two had only a few on their faces.

In order to ease the relationship between these two, Bibi Han had truly gone to great lengths. He had no choice but to be the landlord every round and deliberately lose, claiming, "Even if I die, I'll die on the landlord's throne."

"Alright, Na'er, Little Xue, it's getting late. Let's go eat hotpot."

"Okay!" At the mention of food, Na'er became the most excited.

"Sister Xue'er, what should we eat?"

Seeing Na'er hugging Little Xue's arm, Bibi Han secretly clenched his fist. I didn't suffer for nothing.

Qian Renxue and Na'er, both wearing veils, appeared on the streets of Spirit Hall. The moment they appeared, they drew countless gazes. However, no one dared provoke them. Everyone in Spirit Hall had long known of Na'er's existence. There was no helping it; beautiful women were simply alluring, and she had recently become the Saintess, holding a high position. Though Qian Renxue had not shown her face, anyone could tell from her perfect figure alone that she was definitely a beauty. Her noble bearing and magnificent palace dress made it clear at a glance that her identity was extraordinary.

As for Bibi Han, the Saint Son, he appeared entirely unremarkable. Few people in Spirit Hall had known him to begin with, and he had changed his appearance afterward. Aside from the graduates from that class of Spirit Hall, there were probably very few who recognized him.

The three ate their fill at the hotpot restaurant, then went to Na'er's room to play Fight the Landlord.

Three days later, Bibi Han and Na'er stood at Spirit Hall's South Gate, seeing Qian Renxue off.

Na'er said sadly, "Goodbye, Sister Xue'er. I'll miss you."

Qian Renxue stroked Na'er's face and said, "I'll miss you too."

Bibi Han was extremely happy as he watched this scene. It had to be said, Na'er's lovable personality was truly wonderful.

Bibi Han reminded her, "Little Xue, take good care of yourself over there."

"I know." Qian Renxue replied with some worry.

Then, as though she had made up her mind, she whispered into Bibi Han's ear, "I do like Na'er, but you are mine, and you can only be mine."

After saying that, she turned and left.

Her domineering tone left Bibi Han somewhat stunned.

"Big Brother, what did Sister Xue'er say?" Na'er asked faintly. She did not look very happy; the possessiveness deep within her was acting up again.

"Nothing. Little Xue said Na'er is so pretty and adorable, so naturally I have to protect you well and not let anyone bully you," Bibi Han answered perfunctorily.

"Oh, Sister Xue'er is so good to me." Na'er smiled innocently.

Ah, what am I supposed to do in the future? If I don't win over Na'er, then once Gu Yuena awakens, humanity will be finished. But if I win over Gu Yuena, one mountain can hardly hold two tigers. I should cultivate. Only if my strength surpasses theirs in the future will there be any chance of making them live together in harmony.
