First Meeting with Bibi Dong

The scarf wrapped around Ye Qifeng carried a rich chrysanthemum fragrance, mingled with the fresh scent of many unusual flowers and herbs.

It was the same scent that Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan gave off.

The scent was pleasant, bringing a sense of calm and tranquility.

Lying in Ju Yueguan's arms,

Ye Qifeng felt a complicated mix of emotions.

He truly could not understand how he had somehow ended up on the Douluo Continent.

He raised his eyes to look at Ju Yueguan's womanishly alluring face.

Then he considered his current situation.

He had fallen into Ju Yueguan's hands.

Still, this is fine. At least my life isn't in danger. If he can take me back to Spirit Hall, that would be even better...

Ye Qifeng's thoughts wandered chaotically.

God Realm.

Clouds and mist curled through the air, magnificent and beautiful, like a realm of immortals.

Grand palaces rose one after another, looming indistinctly within the mist.

At the center stood the tallest and most majestic palace, soaring a thousand zhang into the heavens. It was the God Realm Hub, as well as the location of the God Realm Committee.

At this moment,

within the palace's great hall, the God Realm Committee, which convened only once in ten thousand years, was currently in session.

Five hazy figures were discussing matters, seemingly having encountered some issue.

"This committee was convened to discuss only one matter. Not long ago, that black-and-white flash of light that vanished beyond the heavens—surely all of you saw it. Does anyone have anything to say?"

One of the men, surrounded by strange and evil black energy, spoke.

"Whether it brings fortune or disaster remains unknown." The woman with a gentle white aura took over, then turned her gaze toward another woman brimming with green life energy and asked, "Xiao Lu, did your Life Prayer Ritual divination yield any results?"

The woman with the green aura shook her head. "The divination revealed nothing but mist. I could not see the truth clearly. When I tried to interpret it, I nearly suffered a backlash. I did not dare continue probing afterward. Hui Mie, what about you?"

After speaking, she looked toward the man beside her, who was surrounded by a purple aura of destruction.

"I did not sense any aura of destruction. It should not have any effect on the God Realm."

The man with the purple aura raised his head, revealing eyes glowing violet beneath the hood of his robe. He spoke in a muffled voice.

"Since it has no effect, let us adjourn. We will gain no results by discussing it here. This is simply a waste of time."

The tall man suffused with a blood-red killing aura spoke coldly. He had plans to make and actions to carry out soon. He did not wish to concern himself with unrelated matters or waste time here.

He had always been this way, and the others were used to it. None of them said anything.

"Then let us leave it at that for now. Still, remain vigilant. The God Realm has not been peaceful lately. The God of Angels suddenly vanished some time ago for unknown reasons, with no trace of her whereabouts. The investigation has yet to yield any results. I fear she may already be beyond saving. Inform one another if you learn anything. Adjourned!"

The man with the evil aura was in a somewhat heavy mood. After rising to his feet and speaking, his figure vanished from his seat.

A moment later, the others' figures also faded away one by one.

Douluo Continent.

After several minutes of flight,

Yue Guan brought Ye Qifeng to an open area.

Only one woman stood in the middle of the site, and it appeared that a fierce battle had just taken place around her.

Quite a few corpses lay not far away. They looked as though something had melted them, and their deaths were horrifying.

At the sight, Yue Guan's delicate body could not help but tremble.

In the end, he gritted his teeth and landed before the woman.

However, a terrifying baleful aura filled the air around her.

An intense killing intent burst forth from her body, sweeping through the area with every sort of negative emotion—coldness, bloodlust, evil, and more.

That baleful aura made one's heart tremble uncontrollably.

Ye Qifeng also felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Ju Yueguan naturally felt it as well.

Ye Qifeng clearly felt Yue Guan's body tremble once more.

But Yue Guan knew the reason.

Ever since the Holy Maiden had emerged from that place, she had remained in this state.

He had already grown accustomed to it.

But accustomed or not, his body would not obey him. Every time, he still could not help feeling wary.

Ye Qifeng looked ahead.

He saw that the woman was standing sideways.

She was not particularly tall, around one meter seventy-five, and looked very young, as though she were about twenty.

Her fair skin and nearly perfect profile made her seem utterly extraordinary.

Her soft, pinkish-purple hair fell casually to her waist and fluttered gently in the wind, giving her an illusory air.

A light-purple gown wrapped tightly around her from head to toe, outlining her exquisitely curved figure. On her feet were a pair of Crystal High Heels in the same shade of light purple, making her look utterly captivating.

It seemed that no beautiful words in the world could adequately describe her beauty.

Even the baleful aura within her could not destroy the beauty she should have possessed.

"Your Highness Holy Maiden, all the Evil Soul Masters who fled have been killed. The mission has been completed successfully!"

Holding Ye Qifeng, Yue Guan bowed and reported.

Holy Maiden? So it really is her, Bibi Dong? That makes sense. Aside from Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall could not possibly have another person with such a perfect face and such a unique aura. So she has not yet become the Pope? Does that mean that certain beast is still alive?

Ye Qifeng guessed in surprise, his clear eyes fixed unblinkingly on Bibi Dong.

"Mm."

Bibi Dong had no intention of turning around. She merely gave a cold response.

Her voice was pleasant to hear, yet cold and hollow, devoid of the slightest emotion, as though it held no vitality at all.

"There is one more matter. An infant survived—a boy, newly born. He was likely abducted by those damned Evil Soul Masters to serve as a blood sacrifice. I brought him back. Your Highness Holy Maiden, how should he be handled?"

Yue Guan did not pay much attention to Bibi Dong's coldness as he asked.

"Let me see."

Bibi Dong finally turned around.

Her light-purple, jewel-like eyes fell upon the infant in Yue Guan's arms.

Ye Qifeng finally saw Bibi Dong's complete appearance clearly.

He noticed that she did not look well. Her face was somewhat pale, and her willow-like brows remained tightly furrowed.

Deep within her eyes, an unusual aura seemed to linger.

It was an evil aura of a heart dead to all hope, of hatred and disgust for the world, of mad destruction, of a desire to destroy everything.

Ye Qifeng sensed that something was very wrong with Bibi Dong.

He could not help frowning slightly.

The baleful aura around her seems to be because she has just emerged from that hellhole, Slaughter City. Slaughter City's influence on her must be far from gone. She still cannot control her killing intent properly. As for that evil aura, she must have already accepted the Rakshasa God's inheritance and been corrupted by the Rakshasa Evil Thought.

Bibi Dong looked at the infant in Yue Guan's arms. His eyes were wide open as he stared at her without blinking, seemingly unafraid, and a trace of interest arose within her.

The infant's ink-black eyes seemed to possess some special magic that could draw people in, quickly capturing her attention.

Bibi Dong could not help taking several steps forward.

Subconsciously, she extended a hand toward the infant.

Bibi Dong's movement was sudden.

Her abrupt approach gave Yue Guan quite a fright.

He felt somewhat panicked.

He knew that the Holy Maiden deeply loathed men, even if the other party was a child.

He usually did not dare get too close to the Holy Maiden, fearing that she might kill him in a fit of anger.

However, very quickly,

Yue Guan realized that Bibi Dong was not targeting him. Her gaze had remained fixed on the infant.

Ah—she isn't planning to do something to this baby boy, is she? Yue Guan involuntarily drew in a breath.

Holding the infant, he shrank back slightly, his eyes filled with vigilance.
