Bibi Dong

Outside the crown prince's bedroom, Snake Lance and Pufferfish stood in the shadows, staring at each other.

After a long while, Snake Lance cautiously said, "That kid isn't going to spend the night in the young master's secret room, is he?"

Pufferfish gave a dry laugh. "Probably... not."

At that moment, both men had their attention fixed on the secret room, failing to notice that another figure stood in the shadows not far away.

Creak~

The door was gently pushed open, and Su Yu emerged alone.

Seeing how refreshed Su Yu looked after coming out, Snake Lance looked up at the sky while Pufferfish lowered his head to stare at the ground. In perfect tacit understanding, they ignored Su Yu.

Moonlight poured over the Crown Prince's Residence like water, lighting Su Yu's path ahead.

At the same time, after seeing Su Yu off, Qian Renxue summoned the System Screen and prepared to check today's intelligence.

A few minutes later, the words on the screen changed.

[Today's intelligence update:]

[Purple Intelligence: Past: Yesterday, Bibi Dong, Pope of Martial Soul Hall, secretly left Spirit City and headed for Heaven Dou City.]

[White Intelligence: Future: Tomorrow, Wang Fugui, the Crown Prince's Residence chef, will reprimand his apprentice, saying that eating and drinking are allowed, but stealing is not.]

Qian Renxue's eyes immediately widened. A smile appeared on her face, but her feelings became exceedingly complicated.

What was she doing in Heaven Dou City?

Could she have come to see her?

The thought had barely surfaced before Qian Renxue smothered it herself.

Her delighted smile turned bitter as well.

She had already been corrupted by Rakshasa Divine Sense. It was already good enough that she did not want to kill her—how could she possibly sneak over to see her?

Qian Renxue laughed at herself and returned to her bedroom.

Meanwhile, Su Yu had only just returned to his own room and had not even thrown himself onto the bed when he heard an unusual sound.

He had just turned to look when his neck went numb.

This is bad...

Before the thought could finish, Su Yu's consciousness fell into darkness.

"Hiss~"

After an unknown amount of time, Su Yu finally woke from his unconsciousness.

He was lying beneath a tree. The trees around him were hidden in darkness, making the place seem incomparably eerie.

The instant his mind cleared, Su Yu sprang to his feet and summoned his martial soul.

A bronze glow lit up, and his martial soul appeared in his hand.

At the same time, one yellow and one purple soul ring emerged beneath his feet.

Then, the ring on his right hand flashed, and he clasped a silver-white dragon scale in his palm.

With this life-saving trump card in hand, Su Yu's tightly wound body relaxed considerably.

"May I ask which senior is present? Please show yourself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure wrapped tightly in a black cloak silently appeared.

"A thousand-year second ring. I didn't expect her to even use Whale Rubber on you."

Hearing that, Su Yu realized who the visitor was.

He rolled his eyes. "You've got it backwards, haven't you? Didn't she tell you that I was the one who discovered Whale Rubber's use?"

The black-cloaked figure halted, clearly somewhat surprised.

Then she continued forward. "Kid, you seem quite proud of yourself."

"Aren't you afraid I'll kill you right here?"

As soon as she spoke, an indescribably terrifying killing intent spread from the black figure and engulfed Su Yu.

Crack! Crack! Crack!

Three whippings shatter the Pope's soul—Judge, I'm a normal person... except I'm not.

The invisible, formless whippings had truly caught her off guard. Even Bibi Dong, a Peerless Douluo, had failed to notice them beforehand and took all three lashes head-on.

The good news was that they hit.

The bad news was that they did no damage. They only made the other side angrier.

Bibi Dong laughed in extreme anger. "Fine, you actually dared to strike first. Let me see just how big your guts really are..."

Every hair on Su Yu's body stood on end. In his eyes, this crazy woman really might carve his guts out!

Su Yu did not dare mess around any longer and hurriedly poured Soul Power into Gu Yuena's scale.

Bibi Dong did not care in the slightest. Before an absolute gap in strength, no matter how many tricks this brat had, he would ultimately never escape her grasp!

At the same moment, two spatial rifts suddenly appeared beside Su Yu.

Bibi Dong froze for an instant. The figure before her had already become someone else.

The same black robes, the same overwhelming sense of majesty.

The Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King—Di Tian!

At that moment, Su Yu, who had exiled himself far away, perked right up.

He shouted at the top of his lungs, "Bibi Dong! Aren't you so damn impressive? If you've got the guts, spar with this one!"

"Senior Di Tian! Remember to spare her life—just make her lose her ability to fight—"

Di Tian did not turn around. He merely waved a hand, indicating that Su Yu need not say more.

As for Bibi Dong, less than three meters from Di Tian, she had entered a combat stance the instant Di Tian appeared.

Dark green spiderweb patterns appeared across her forehead. A crystalline dark green light spread out, enveloping her entire body.

Three pairs of dark green spider legs grew from her back, while her arms transformed into dark green spider lances.

Her second martial soul—the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor!

"Heh heh, human junior, don't say I didn't give you a chance. Make your move."

Facing Di Tian's indifferent gaze, Bibi Dong did not dare be careless and immediately unleashed her most tyrannical single-target soul skill—

"Sixth Soul Skill, Eternal Trauma!"

Bibi Dong crossed her arms and slashed out an enormous green cross-shaped wave of light.

On the other side, Su Yu took off running into the distance the moment Bibi Dong attacked.

Although Su Yu had great confidence in Di Tian, he did not think his small body could withstand the aftermath of a battle between these two great powers.

By running and exiling himself at the same time, Su Yu quickly escaped the forest.

Just as he was about to turn around and take a look, Di Tian appeared beside him.

Su Yu asked in surprise, "Senior, you're that fast?"

Di Tian snorted coldly. "Below gods, none can defeat me."

Su Yu quickly gave him a thumbs-up and praised him. "Amazing, amazing. As expected of you..."

"That woman has already had her Soul Power sealed by me and has been left there. She is now no different from an ordinary person. Deal with her as you see fit."

"Thank you for saving me, Senior!"

Di Tian waved a hand, telling Su Yu not to mind it. "My lord has already promised to do everything possible to help you grow. Protecting your path is simply my duty. There is no need to say more."

"If you encounter such a situation again, immediately inject Soul Power into the scale. Do not hesitate. If you happen upon someone decisive and ruthless, you will not even have a chance to call for help."

Su Yu nodded like a pecking chick. "Senior is right. This junior understands."

Seeing Su Yu like this, Di Tian said no more. He directly tore open space and plunged into it.

Su Yu sighed softly. Rather than putting away the Silver White Dragon Scale, he tucked it into his clothes, pressing it against his heart.

Honestly, Bibi Dong had died this time purely because she talked too much.

If she had been more decisive and killed him directly at the Crown Prince's Residence, he could only have hoped to transmigrate once more.
