Bibi Dong Panicked, the Punishment Was Too Terrifying

The red warning window shone dazzlingly.

The contents of the notification made Bibi Dong scoff.

She was forbidden from making a move against Book Friends?

What a joke!

She was Pope Bibi Dong, and now she knew that a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast had taken human form and entered human society.

And it was still in its juvenile stage.

How could she possibly refrain from acting?

After a cold sneer, she immediately rose to summon Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo.

But in the next instant, another warning window appeared in the Book Review Section.

[It has been detected that you harbor killing intent toward a Book Friend. In accordance with the principle of protecting Book Friends, the location and aura of the threatened Book Friend have officially been concealed!]

[It has been detected that you harbor killing intent toward a Book Friend. In accordance with the principle of harmony and friendship, you will be punished. The punishment is as follows: Soul Power reduced by three levels, to be restored after ten days.]

[If you offend again, your Soul Power will be reduced by ten levels and cannot be restored.]

[Third offense: execution!]

The warning windows appeared one after another, and Bibi Dong froze for a moment.

Punishment?

What a joke!

It was only a Storybook. It wanted to punish her?

Just as she was thinking that, she suddenly sensed something wrong with her body.

An intense feeling of weakness struck her, as though her entire body had been hollowed out.

Her body went limp and powerless, and she collapsed onto the Pope Throne.

"My Soul Power... really dropped?"

Bibi Dong's expression shifted between green and red as her Soul Power fell by three levels in an instant.

That meant the Storybook's punishment was real.

Even as a Titled Douluo, she had still been instantly stripped of three levels of Soul Power.

At that moment, she no longer doubted the warnings that followed.

If there were a second time, ten levels of Soul Power would probably truly be erased directly, with no possibility of recovery.

A third offense meant immediate execution!

It was just a Storybook. Why could it be so terrifying?

Bibi Dong did not understand, but she knew she had to steady herself.

Absolutely, absolutely no more killing intent!

"Isn't it just a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring and Spirit Bone? I don't want them anymore!"

Bibi Dong muttered to herself, her hand tightening slightly around the scepter.

At that moment, panic had already taken hold of her heart.

The Storybook could grant her rewards, but it could also bring punishment—punishment beyond imagination.

At Nuoding Academy, after Xiao Wu left the dormitory, she ran out through the academy's back gate.

She went all the way out of the city.

The quiet night seemed to calm her down somewhat.

A gentle cold breeze blew over her, clearing her mind a little.

She opened the Storybook again to inspect its contents.

She read it over and over again.

Judging from the contents, she really had been plotted against.

Perhaps she had already been plotted against from the moment she first met Tang San.

Tang Father and Son were truly no good.

There were simply too many loopholes in the Star Dou Great Forest plot.

If they had truly been worried about her safety, they should have lured Spirit Hall's people away instead of drawing them to her side.

In the end, she really had sacrificed herself.

After the sacrifice, her part in the story became much, much smaller.

But those later plot points truly left people unable to let go.

Turned into a sword sheath?

He really came up with something like that!

Living a happy, wonderful life in the God Realm?

What a joke!

If she did not know the truth, perhaps it would have been a happy life.

But once she knew the truth, she could understand that it was a cage Tang San had built for her.

Keeping her by his side forever, draining every last drop of her value.

"It's time to go."

Xiao Wu did not know how long she had stayed there before finally preparing to leave.

But the instant she stood up, a red warning window popped up in the Storybook.

[As a Book Friend has developed killing intent toward you, a protection mechanism will be activated for you. Your Spirit Beast aura will be completely concealed and cannot be detected.]

[At the same time, your location will be concealed. The Book Friend who harbors killing intent toward you will be unable to find your location for one year.]

[The Book Friend who harbored killing intent toward you has already received punishment and should behave now. Don't worry!]

The warning window popped up, and Xiao Wu froze for a moment.

Someone had developed killing intent toward her?

Could it be... that her identity as a Hundred-Thousand-Year transformed Spirit Beast had still been exposed?

Yes, that was very possible!

She had urged for updates, and there had also been those comments.

They all seemed to be proving her identity!

The Book Friends were all from Douluo Continent, so it seemed perfectly normal for someone to develop killing intent toward her.

But who could it be?

A chill ran through her heart.

But when she thought of the Storybook's protection, she relaxed a little.

Her location had been concealed, and her Spirit Beast aura had also been hidden.

Whether it was a Titled Douluo or a god, no one could discover her true identity.

At present, apart from the Book Friends, the only people who should know her identity were Tang Father and Son.

Staying by Tang San's side would definitely be extremely dangerous.

If Tang San noticed something strange about her, he might make a move early.

Even Tang Hao might act.

She could not stay any longer. She had to leave.

But where could she go after leaving?

Should she wander everywhere, or return to the Star Dou Great Forest?

For now, the Star Dou Great Forest should be the safest place.

But she was unwilling to accept it, and she was also somewhat curious.

Who exactly was the owner of the Storybook?

Why did that person know so many things, even things from the future?

"I'll go find him!"

After thinking it over, Xiao Wu's eyes lit up.

Perhaps someone so omnipotent had a way to revive her mother?

The moment the thought occurred to her, she acted. Without hesitation, she headed away from Nuoding City.

But she had no clue where to find the Storybook's owner, so she could only wander around aimlessly.

Meanwhile, at Nuoding Academy.

When Tang San woke up the next day, he looked toward the bed in the corner.

He walked over and touched it. It was cold.

Xiao Wu had not returned all night?

Could she really be that angry just because he had said a few words for their teacher?

She did not know how to be considerate at all. She was even being too unreasonable.

Tang San felt somewhat angry, but also somewhat irritated.

What should he do if Xiao Wu never came back?

Should he go look for her, or simply leave her alone?

The question left him deeply conflicted!

Meanwhile, the Book Review Section was quite lively as a group of Book Friends discussed the matter.

[Glazed Baby: 'Beast King's ending was so pitiful. He was schemed against by Hammer King and his son his entire life!']

[Hell Spirit Cat: 'Beast King is pitiful. Hammer King is not a good person!']

[Angel Without Parents: 'Beast King brought this upon himself by failing to judge people properly. He had no brains at all!']

[Glazed Baby: 'It's certain that he misjudged them, but Hammer King and his son were also too good at plotting. They're disgustingly awful. If you ran into Hammer King, what would you do?']

[Green Wild Goose: 'If it were me, I'd choose to poison Hammer King to death first!']

[Glazed Baby: 'Poison him? How scary! Shouldn't you break his legs, hang him up, and brand him with a hot iron instead?']

[Angel Without Parents: 'The person above has a good idea. We can discuss it sometime. I'm logging off first to beat up my stinky little brother. @Spider Emperor Douluo, blind-eyed and blind-hearted, my daily insult. If you disagree, come fight me!']

[Spider Emperor Douluo: '@Angel Without Parents, hehe~ @Pink Rabbit, little rabbit, shall we chat?']

Xiao Wu, who was walking along without knowing where to go, was suddenly tagged. Curious, she opened the Book Review Section and was so frightened that her hair stood on end.

[Pink Rabbit: '@Spider Emperor Douluo, you're the one who wanted to kill me? Do you have any conscience at all? You were punished by the Storybook, weren't you?']

[Spider Emperor Douluo: '...']

[Angel Without Parents: 'Hahaha~ I'm dying of laughter. I'm so happy today. @Pink Rabbit, say, you wouldn't happen to be Beast King from the Storybook, would you?']

[Spider Emperor Douluo: 'Shut up! Go do your own thing!']
