Snatching People Again

"Heh~"

"A bunch of old fogies with thousands of years between you, yet you can just take back your words? Truly laughable."

"What? If I don't hand the person over today, what can you possibly do to me?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were filled with nothing but disdain.

On one hand, it was due to their lack of integrity and their tendency to go back on their word.

They had already agreed to the matter that day, yet it took them nearly half a month to think about reneging. What were they doing before?

On the other hand, she also did not believe that Qian Daoliu would truly dare to make a move.

This old man had been timid and submissive for decades; if he were truly willing to cast aside his pride and attack her, he would have done so long ago. How would it have reached this point today?

She did not know what had gotten into these people today, insisting on coming to the Pope Hall to make their presence felt.

Wait!

Why was Qian Renxue so intimate with this little brat?

Bibi Dong, who had just been wearing a look of disdain, suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility.

Could it be that Qian Renxue had feelings for Chen Xing...

If that were the case, it would explain why Qian Renxue had begged Qian Daoliu to back her up and come to snatch him away.

No! These old fogies seemed to be playing for real!

Thinking of this, she narrowed her eyes, and the palms of her hands behind her back began to quietly circulate soul power.

Seemingly sensing the abnormality in Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu took a step forward, shielding Qian Renxue within a barrier of soul power.

The next second.

A purple figure appeared before the barrier.

The aura of a level 99 Peerless Douluo erupted fully, and dark purple soul power surged forth.

A spider leg slashed down, causing the golden light shield to flicker with a momentary illusion of instability.

Bang!

A muffled sound echoed, and Qian Renxue, who was in the center, was shocked and fell to the ground.

"Bibi Dong!"

"What are you doing?"

"She is your..."

"Saintess of the Worship Hall!"

"Hmph~"

"What am I doing?"

"What do you think?"

[Fourth Soul Skill: Thorn Spider Armor]

Not giving Qian Daoliu any extra time to react, Bibi Dong directly unleashed her fourth soul skill.

Her arms were instantly covered by a layer of purple armor, and the spikes upon it tore through the barrier in a flash.

"Don't!"

"How dare you!"

With her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul Avatar activated, golden light flared around Qian Daoliu, and a long golden sword appeared in his hand.

[Third Soul Skill: Angelic Protection]

A light shield, even more solid than the previous one, enveloped Qian Renxue once more.

The transition between their soul skills did not even take half a second.

By the time Chen Xing reacted, he was already tucked under Bibi Dong's arm.

Seeing this, Qian Daoliu breathed a secret sigh of relief.

Scared to death, he had thought this woman, Bibi Dong, was going to strike at Qian Renxue.

Fortunately, it was only to snatch Chen Xing.

At this moment, Qian Renxue, whose arms were now empty, also reacted.

She stared blankly at the opposite side.

What was going on? That woman had just erupted with such a terrifying aura; she had thought the other party was going to kill her, but it was only for Chen Xing?

Chen Xing!

Damn it!

The young girl turned her head in a panic, looking at Qian Daoliu, who was in his Martial Soul Avatar state.

"Grandfather, Chen Xing has been snatched away by her again!"

"Hurry and help me snatch him back, you promised me earlier."

Hearing the young girl's words, Chen Xing, who was being tucked under Bibi Dong's arm, was speechless.

"Am I some kind of object that can just be snatched back and forth at will?"

"You all really don't take me seriously at all."

Upon closer reflection, given his current strength, it seemed that he really was...

"T-Teacher, those spikes of yours won't hurt me, right..."

Chen Xing was naturally referring to the sharp spikes on the armor Bibi Dong manifested when using her fourth soul skill.

Being held in such an awkward position against her waist, the spikes were practically brushing against his face.

Moreover, they clearly looked poisonous.

"Shut up!"

"No one will think you're a mute if you talk a little less."

Bibi Dong glared at Chen Xing and quietly retracted the spikes.

"Everyone!"

"Please, go back!"

"Chen Xing has already been accepted as my closing disciple; from now on, don't mention anything about who found him first."

"Don't you find that childish?"

Qian Daoliu, who had just straightened his back, was rendered silent by Bibi Dong's words.

The main issue was that Chen Xing was now in her hands, putting his side in a passive position.

What now?

The person had already been snatched away; was he supposed to talk his way into getting him back?

That was clearly impossible.

Therefore, for the sake of little Xue, he had no choice but to use force.

Having made up his mind, Qian Daoliu instantly lunged forward.

[First Soul Skill: Angel Assault]

The golden Holy Sword, wrapped in immense power, locked onto Bibi Dong as its target.

In an instant.

The entire hall was shrouded in a layer of golden light.

Bibi Dong had not expected Qian Daoliu to be so decisive today. She already couldn't beat him, and now that she had to carry Chen Xing, she had even less chance to resist.

Besides.

She didn't dare put Chen Xing on the ground, not to mention whether the brat would run away on his own.

Just the fact that the other six members of the Worship Hall were standing there—who could believe they were just there to watch the show?

Thus, Bibi Dong could only dodge and defend incessantly...

Whenever she found a spare moment, she would still throw out a few words.

"You're at such an age, yet you go back on your word; your promises are no better than a fart, and you have the nerve!"

"And you lot, a bunch of old geezers hundreds of years old, just watching him act like a fool?"

"Acting like a fool? If we're talking about that word, it's been a better fit for you for many years."

Mighty Lion Douluo had a blunt personality and had long found Bibi Dong unpleasant.

Although he couldn't beat Bibi Dong and had been told before coming not to take action unless absolutely necessary, he could at least throw out a few complaints.

Seeing Mighty Lion speak up, Guang Ling couldn't help but chime in as well.

"Exactly, it's been so many years, have there been few outrageous things you've done? Do you really think we're all blind?"

"Right now, we're just asking you for a person; hand him over obediently, and we can all get along in the future."

"Idiots, is there any reason for me to get along with you?"

"Still the same old selves, making high-sounding excuses."

"If you really couldn't stand my methods, would you have tolerated me until now?"

The so-called outrageous things were mostly extreme actions Bibi Dong had taken to clear obstacles for Martial Soul Hall.

For instance, assassinating leaders of factions that resisted the system, or using underhanded means to recruit certain geniuses, and so on...

While these actions couldn't be considered righteous, they were things every faction did to some extent to maintain their power.

She naturally knew these moves couldn't be hidden from those in the Worship Hall, and she hadn't intended to hide them from the start.

These old geezers all acted righteous on the surface, talking about using peaceful ways to solve problems.

In reality, they were secretly hoping Bibi Dong would use thunderous methods to discipline those hostile factions.

Guang Ling was pointed at and scolded roundly.

His face flushed a mix of green and red.

He completely forgot the instructions Qian Daoliu had given him earlier.

The Guang Ling Divine Bow appeared in his hand, aiming directly at the fleeing figure of Bibi Dong in the arena.

"You woman..."

"You don't know what's good for you!"

"Today, this old man will teach you a lesson you won't forget!"

[First Soul Skill: Frost Feather]

Bibi Dong, already exhausted from the struggle, suddenly sensed a frigid aura rapidly approaching; the instincts of a Peerless Douluo made her subconsciously dodge to the side.

But she forgot that she was still clutching Chen Xing at her waist...
