Lost

Yu Xiaogang's thick skin could already be used as a city wall. As the saying went, the shameless were invincible, and Yu Xiaogang was not far from reaching that realm.

By the time Yu Xiaogang arrived in Spirit City, some time had already passed.

Today, Xiao Chenlong completed his cultivation and successfully broke through to level 20. Even Qian Daoliu could hardly believe such a cultivation speed.

He worried that Xiao Chenlong had exhausted his potential too early, so he carefully examined him. In the end, everything was fine.

All of this could only be attributed to Xiao Chenlong's exceptional talent.

Perhaps Qian Daoliu had hope of becoming a god. Perhaps he could keep Xue'er company for a long time in his stead.

Of course, Qian Daoliu was only thinking about it for now. He had not yet planned to formally let Xiao Chenlong meet Qian Renxue.

After Xiao Chenlong broke through to level 20, his second Green Spirit Ring automatically appeared. At the same time, a little dog leaped out of the Spirit Ring.

The dog seemed to be a schnauzer. It looked adorable and did not seem aggressive at all.

Indeed, it was not meant for attacking. The Dog Talisman's ability was eternal youth and immortality.

Xiao Chenlong picked up the schnauzer and met its gaze. He clearly saw the Dog Talisman in its eyes.

Naturally, Xiao Chenlong himself possessed the abilities of both the dog and pig. He could now use Electric Eye Pressure, but he would not reveal it lightly.

The schnauzer licked Xiao Chenlong. He put it down and let it go play with the Big White Pig.

With the Undying Dog, Xiao Chenlong felt much less pressure. At least on the dangerous Douluo Continent, he would not die so easily.

Between cultivation sessions, Xiao Chenlong rode the pig and walked the dog. It had become a rather unusual sight within Spirit Hall.

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang was stopped by Sacred Hall Knights from Spirit Hall.

"Spirit Hall is a restricted area. Unauthorized persons, leave at once."

Hearing the Sacred Hall Knight drive him away, Yu Xiaogang arrogantly raised his head.

"Do you know who I am? You dare stop me? I think you must be tired of living."

The two Sacred Hall Knights guarding the gate exchanged looks, unable to judge the situation for a moment.

"May I ask who you are and what business you have at Spirit Hall? If you are looking for someone, we can announce your arrival for you."

"People call me the Grandmaster. I am an old acquaintance of your pope. If the pope learns that you dared stop me, she will make you regret it."

Yu Xiaogang was thoroughly practiced at borrowing another's prestige. This was how he got by.

It had to be said that Yu Xiaogang was truly good at putting on an act. Ordinary people could easily be bluffed by him, and these two Sacred Hall Knights were no exception.

They reported the situation to their superiors. Better safe than sorry; it would be troublesome if they truly offended someone important.

Very soon, Yu Xiaogang entered Spirit Hall and hurried toward the Pope's Palace.

He still wore that arrogant expression. Before Bibi Dong, he always possessed an inexplicable confidence. After all, that madwoman Bibi Dong was this guy's devoted admirer.

Unfortunately for him, he ran into the Big White Pig and schnauzer, who had come out to play alone.

"Woof! Woof! Woof!"

"Where did this damn dog come from? How dare it bark at me?"

Yu Xiaogang made as if to kick the schnauzer. He was a level 29 Soul Grandmaster, after all. Dealing with a dog should have been effortless.

But the schnauzer easily dodged Yu Xiaogang, then took the opportunity to viciously bite his leg.

"Ah!"

The intense pain made Yu Xiaogang let out a pig-slaughtering scream.

"Damn dog, you dared bite me? I'll stew you."

Yu Xiaogang focused solely on chasing the schnauzer and completely failed to notice the Big White Pig standing there.

Sensing Yu Xiaogang's hostility, light gleamed in the Big White Pig's eyes.

Whoosh! Electric Eye activated, and this blast struck Yu Xiaogang directly in his vital spot.

Yu Xiaogang immediately let out an inhuman shriek before passing out.

The schnauzer trotted over happily, lifted its leg, and left another mark on Yu Xiaogang's face.

Xiao Chenlong did not know about any of this yet. He was currently reading in the Pope's Palace, and the more he read, the more ridiculous he found Yu Xiaogang.

He had merely read a few books and thought himself a Grandmaster.

He had thought Yu Xiaogang was only half-baked, but now it seemed he was not even that. He knew a few superficial things and acted as though he were extraordinary.

Just then, someone entered the Pope's Palace and said something to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's expression changed drastically. She slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"WHAT?!"

The sudden commotion startled even Xiao Chenlong, who was reading. What was that madwoman going crazy about now?

When he looked up at the papal throne, Bibi Dong had already vanished.

Seeing this, Xiao Chenlong slipped away as well. He did not know what had happened, but Bibi Dong was genuinely in a bad mood. A wise man did not stand beneath a crumbling wall.

Not long afterward, still in the Pope's Palace, Yu Xiaogang had already awakened.

Bibi Dong had a Healing Soul Master treat Yu Xiaogang, but gone was gone. Ordinary Healing Soul Masters did not have the ability to regrow severed limbs.

However, due to the treatment, his wound had already closed and the pain had eased considerably. Therefore, he still did not know that his vital part was gone.

"Dong'er..."

"Shut up. Is Dong'er something you can call me? You should address me as Your Excellency the Pope."

"Dong'er, are you really going to be this heartless? Back then..."

"I told you to shut up. Didn't you hear me?"

When she heard Yu Xiaogang mention the past, Bibi Dong's face completely darkened.

She did not even dare recall the nightmare in that Secret Chamber.

Yu Xiaogang noticed that something was wrong with Bibi Dong's expression and immediately fell silent.

If playing the emotional card would not work, then he might as well get straight to the point.

"Your Excellency the Pope, I came because I heard that Spirit City has produced a child with a Detached Spirit as well. I believe no one is more suitable than me to teach him."

Yu Xiaogang deliberately put on the bearing of an expert, unaware that his current bedraggled appearance was simply nauseating.

But Bibi Dong smiled at that moment.

"Yu Xiaogang, so you want to stay in Spirit City? As it happens, I am short of a eunuch here."

"Stay in Spirit City? No, no, I never said I wanted to stay in Spirit City. I will take him away from Spirit City, formulate a perfect cultivation plan for him, and improve my theories at the same time.

"I will make him into a true genius. No, not merely a genius, but a monst—"

Only then did Yu Xiaogang realize that the last two words of Bibi Dong's earlier sentence had been—eunuch.

Yu Xiaogang reached down to feel himself, only to grasp empty air.

"It's gone! It's gone! It's really gone! Bibi Dong, what did you do to me?"

"I did nothing to you. From now on, just stay in Spirit City obediently, Xiaogang. I will not treat you poorly."

Being able to keep Yu Xiaogang here this way was not a bad outcome for Bibi Dong.

"Who gave him permission to stay in Spirit City?!"

A booming voice rang out. Qian Daoliu entered the Pope's Palace, his face clearly filled with anger.

Behind Qian Daoliu followed Xiao Chenlong, along with the Big White Pig and the schnauzer.

Seeing the pig and dog, Yu Xiaogang finally remembered how he had lost his vital part.
