Hu Liena's Bullying, Reporting to Bibi Dong

Ling Xiao's wrist was held by her, and he felt completely uncomfortable. He struggled twice, but couldn't break free.

Hu Liena was already a level 25 Soul Grand Master.

Her soul power was not something he, a novice who had just awakened his martial soul, could compare to.

Once inside the hall, Hu Liena let go of his hand.

She casually snatched the book from Ling Xiao's grasp.

She shook it in her hand and raised an eyebrow at Ling Xiao.

"Senior Sister, give the book back to me."

"No!"

Hu Liena stepped back, hiding the book behind her, smiling like a little fox.

"Call me 'good Senior Sister' once, and I'll give it back to you."

Ling Xiao: "..."

Mentally, he was an adult.

Asking him to act spoiled and call a ten-year-old girl "good Senior Sister" was harder than asking him to single-handedly fight a Titled Douluo.

He frowned slightly, stepped forward, and reached out to grab the book.

"Senior Sister, stop messing around."

"Oops, you can't catch me~"

Hu Liena's figure flashed, easily dodging his hand.

She was a Saintess carefully cultivated by Martial Soul Hall; her footwork was not something a novice like Ling Xiao could compare to.

After a few back-and-forth exchanges, not only did Ling Xiao fail to grab the book.

Instead, Hu Liena circled behind him and reached out to pinch his cheeks.

As the soft sensation met her fingers, Hu Liena's eyes lit up.

"Wow! Little Junior Brother, your face is so soft!"

"You look so cold and aloof, so how is your face so pinchable!"

Ling Xiao froze, a strong sense of social death instantly sweeping over him.

Having lived two lives, when had he ever been teased like this with his cheeks pinched?

He abruptly raised his hand to swat Hu Liena's hand away and took two steps back.

He could no longer keep a straight face, and a flush of red stained his cheeks.

It wasn't shyness; it was anger!

"Hu Liena!"

He didn't even call her Senior Sister anymore.

"Don't go too far."

"Yo, is Little Junior Brother angry?"

Hu Liena was not afraid; instead, she laughed even more happily.

"You're still so good-looking even when you're angry."

"What? Not convinced? If you're not convinced, come and beat me!"

As she spoke, her soul power surged.

A pink halo radiated from her body, and her Demon Fox martial soul quietly activated.

Two furry fox ears emerged from the top of her head, and a fluffy fox tail swayed behind her.

First Soul Skill: Charm, quietly activated.

Ling Xiao felt his vision blur.

His mental energy was interfered with, and his movements slowed down.

By the time he regained his senses, Hu Liena had already pressed in front of him.

She reached out to press on his shoulders, and with a gentle push, she pinned him into the chair behind him.

"How about it? Little Junior Brother, are you convinced?"

Hu Liena leaned over, bringing her face close to his, looking at him with a smile.

Her fox tail brushed lightly across the back of his hand.

"Call me 'good Senior Sister' once, and I'll let you go. I won't tease you anymore after this, okay?"

Ling Xiao gritted his teeth, desperately pushing the soul power within his body, trying to break free.

In the face of an absolute gap in levels, it was simply not enough.

The soul power he pushed out had barely emerged before it was easily suppressed back down by Hu Liena's soul power.

He was held firmly in the chair by a ten-year-old girl, unable to move an inch.

In the end, Ling Xiao simply closed his eyes.

He would neither look at her nor speak.

He wore an expression of utter indifference.

Hu Liena teased him for a long while.

Feeling that was enough, she decided not to push her little junior brother too far.

She released her grip and retracted her Martial Soul.

Placing the book on the table, she said with a smile, "Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you."

"Little Junior Brother, you really can't take a joke."

After saying this, she turned around and skipped out of Qinghui Hall, heading back to her own Lanyue Hall.

The hall finally returned to silence.

Ling Xiao sat in the chair, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Having lived two lifetimes, he had never felt so stifled.

He couldn't exactly throw a tantrum like a six-year-old child just to deal with Hu Liena.

After much thought, the only person who could keep this senior sister in check was his master, Bibi Dong.

Ling Xiao took a deep breath and straightened his robes.

He rose and walked out of Qinghui Hall, heading straight for Bibi Dong's main hall.

Inside the main hall, Bibi Dong was reviewing reports submitted by the Elder Hall.

Seeing Ling Xiao enter, she looked surprised, set down her pen, and asked gently, "Ling Xiao? What is it?"

"Didn't I tell you to go back and rest? Is there something you are dissatisfied with regarding your quarters?"

Ling Xiao walked to the center of the hall and bowed.

He looked up, his tone carrying a hint of grievance.

"Master, this disciple has come to lodge a complaint."

Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh.

"A complaint? Against whom?"

"Against Senior Sister Hu Liena."

Ling Xiao said with a straight face.

"As soon as Master left, Senior Sister snatched my book and pinched my face."

"She even relied on her higher cultivation to suppress me with her Martial Soul, pinning me to the chair to bully me."

"This disciple implores Master to discipline Senior Sister."

His eyes were filled with frustration and resentment.

Bibi Dong found it both amusing and helpless.

She knew that girl Hu Liena would agree to anything on the surface.

But she would certainly disobey the moment she turned around.

"Alright, I understand."

Bibi Dong instructed the maid beside her, "Go, summon the Saintess."

The maid acknowledged the order and left.

Not long after, Hu Liena came skipping in.

As soon as she entered the main hall and saw Ling Xiao standing to the side, then looked at Bibi Dong's darkened expression, her heart skipped a beat.

Good heavens, the little junior brother actually came to snitch!

Hu Liena immediately wiped the smile from her face.

She lowered her head, walked obediently to the center of the hall, and whispered, "Master, did you call for me?"

"Hu Liena, what did I tell you earlier?"

Bibi Dong's tone was stern, carrying the majesty of the Pope.

"I told you to take good care of your junior brother, and this is how you do it?"

"Teasing him and using your cultivation to bully him?"

Hu Liena was scolded so severely that her head was nearly buried against her chest.

She snuck a glare at Ling Xiao, then quickly lowered her head again, admitting her fault.

"Master, I was wrong."

"I shouldn't have bullied my little junior brother; I won't ever dare to do it again."

"It is good that you know you were wrong."

Watching her like this, Bibi Dong didn't have the heart to scold her too harshly and said in a deep voice.

"Apologize to your junior brother."

"If you dare to bully him again in the future, I will punish you by making you face the wall in the Discipline Hall to reflect on your mistakes. Do you hear me?"

"Yes, Master."

Hu Liena replied and turned around.

"Little Junior Brother, I'm sorry. Senior Sister shouldn't have teased you or bullied you."

Ling Xiao nodded slightly, remaining silent.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong finally waved her hand.

"That's enough, you may both go back."

"Nana, remember what you said. If there is a next time, I will certainly not be lenient."

"Yes, Master."

The two bowed together to take their leave and walked out of the main hall.

The moment they stepped out of the main hall's gate.

The obedient, apologetic look on Hu Liena's face vanished instantly.

She turned around and made a face at Ling Xiao.

She whispered indignantly, "Fine, Little Junior Brother, you actually dared to go to Master and report me!"

Ling Xiao raised his eyes and looked at her indifferently.

"Senior Sister was in the wrong first; I only spoke the truth."

"Fine, you're something else."

She leaned in close to Ling Xiao and lowered her voice.

"Don't think that just because you ran to Master to complain, I'm afraid of you. We'll see about this."

After saying that, she turned around, flicked her ponytail, and headed toward Lanyue Hall.

Before leaving, she didn't forget to shake her fist at Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao stood where he was, watching her retreating figure.

He rubbed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

He could see it now.

This girl, Hu Liena, had no intention of changing her ways at all.
