Though it couldn't hurt him, it flew true and hit Qian Xunji right in the face.
Of course, Qian Xunji had also realized this "attack" couldn't harm him at all, so he hadn't dodged.
The pillow fell to the ground after hitting Qian Xunji in the face.
"Looks like you've got quite a grudge against me, Dong'er. You even practiced throwing pillows just so you could hit me with one."
Though it was called a secret chamber, it was well lit. Besides, Qian Xunji wasn't an ordinary person but a Titled Douluo of level 91, with vision far better than an ordinary person's. So he easily saw that the culprit behind the attack was his own good disciple, Bibi Dong.
At that moment, Bibi Dong was standing on the bed with another pillow in her hands, still in the middle of throwing it. Clearly, she was planning to keep pelting him!
"Hmph! Scum!" Bibi Dong gave a cold snort and hurled the pillow in her hands at Qian Xunji.
Yes, just as Qian Xunji had said, after bathing and recovering her strength, she'd spent quite a while practicing throwing pillows in the secret chamber.
The reason was simple.
Qian Xunji had sealed her Soul Power, and the door to the secret chamber was sealed too. She couldn't get out.
But there was no food in the chamber, so she suspected Qian Xunji would be back soon.
That was why she'd started throwing pillows: she wanted to vent her anger.
As for why she used pillows instead of something hard, like a table or a chair, she certainly would have preferred those.
Unfortunately, Qian Xunji had sealed her Soul Power. Now she was as weak as an ordinary young woman and couldn't even lift anything that heavy.
Qian Xunji casually caught the pillow Bibi Dong threw at him, then crouched down to pick up the one that had fallen earlier. He gave it a squeeze.
Mm, it felt soft, and carried a faint fragrance. It was clearly Bibi Dong's scent.
A strange glint flashed in Qian Xunji's eyes as he thought this. Then, holding both pillows, he walked into the secret chamber and casually shut the door behind him.
"Y-you... what are you trying to do?"
When Bibi Dong saw that her usually proud, cold teacher had not only crouched to pick up the pillow and sniffed it, but had also shut the door, she immediately began to panic.
Her fear deepened when she noticed that Qian Xunji had said nothing since entering and was staring at her intently.
As the saying went, the calm before the storm often meant an even bigger storm was brewing. Did her teacher's behavior mean something was about to happen?
Like a third trip to the little black room?
Or that she might be harmed again?
At the thought, Bibi Dong instinctively moved away from the bed—the thing that looked like a bed but was really a collection of every sin imaginable—and away from Qian Xunji, the man she called her teacher but who was actually a beast.
Because everything bad had started with that piece of furniture called a "bed," and with the man named Qian Xunji.
Honestly, the moment she saw Qian Xunji shut the door, she regretted it.
If only she hadn't provoked him. Then she wouldn't have put herself in such a dangerous position.
Yes, she hated the man before her with all her heart. It was his actions that had ruined her life.
But even as she hated him, she was terrified of him.
The time he'd locked her in the little black room had become a nightmare she could never forget.
Every night, she woke from that inescapable nightmare!
"You don't need to stand so far away from me!"
Looking at Bibi Dong, who was keeping well away from the bed, looking timid yet stubbornly trying to appear brave, Qian Xunji's eyes flickered with amusement.
"It's not like I'm going to lose control and act like a beast!"
Qian Xunji's words did nothing to reassure Bibi Dong. She even backed farther away from him.
The secret chamber, the closed door, no one else around, and a man and a woman alone together—put all those things together, and it was already a dangerous situation!
And that man had a history of doing this more than once. Who would believe him when he said he wouldn't lay a hand on her again?
With that thought, she backed away even faster. Before she knew it, her back was against the wall.
Seeing how timid she looked, the amusement in Qian Xunji's eyes grew. "Or are you saying you'd like me to?"
"How could I possibly want that? Who would want to be treated like that?!"
Hearing Qian Xunji speak as if he were flirting with his girlfriend, Bibi Dong couldn't hold back any longer and shouted.
If... if she hadn't known that her Soul Power was sealed, and that rushing at him would only be like walking into a trap and throwing herself into the tiger's jaws, Bibi Dong would have loved to strangle the man.
At that moment, she looked like a frightened cat on the verge of exploding.
Seeing her like that, Qian Xunji's eyes lit up.
