First Taste of Illusion Technique

After all, they were headed in the same direction, and with Bibi Dong, a fellow "hometown girl," beside him, Wang Jingyu finally relaxed.

After leaving the town with the Spirit Hall group, they headed toward the Star Dou Great Forest.

He planned to part ways with the Spirit Hall people after reaching the area inhabited by hundred-year Soul Beasts.

Even if Bibi Dong was also a transmigrator, Wang Jingyu was unwilling to reveal his secrets so easily.

Especially with Ju Douluo and so many Spirit Hall powerhouses nearby, Wang Jingyu felt uncomfortable all over. How could he possibly let them keep following him?

After the group entered the outer region of the Star Dou Great Forest, perhaps the low-level Soul Beasts nearby sensed how formidable the entire group was and fled in all directions.

Those weak ten-year Soul Beasts were so frightened that they vanished without a trace.

After walking for over half an hour, Wang Jingyu figured they were about to reach the hundred-year Soul Beast area.

Although he had never been to the Star Dou Great Forest in the half year since his transmigration, the original owner of this body's memories told him that it was time to part ways with the Spirit Hall group.

He suddenly stopped, then looked at Bibi Dong beside him with a serious expression.

"Bibi Dong, your teammates should be heading for the ten-thousand-year Soul Beast area, right?

"Since that's the case, I won't impose any further. I think we should part ways here..."

Bibi Dong's expression clearly froze. It felt as though this guy simply did not want them following him and insisted on leaving alone.

Didn't that still mean he did not trust her? She had clearly tried her best to act like a genuine transmigrator, just as he had guessed in his diary, and he had even taken every advantage of her.

Yet he still refused to trust her. Bibi Dong felt deeply frustrated and looked at Wang Jingyu with a resentful expression.

"You distrust me that much? You said we were fellow townspeople, yet you're making Dong'er so sad..."

"Uh..."

Wang Jingyu was momentarily speechless. Especially when he saw the resentment in her eyes, he felt as though he could barely keep himself under control.

He took several steps back and glanced at the group behind her.

"I-I didn't mean that. Don't your teammates need to find Soul Rings too? If we part ways here, we can each search for what we need. Wouldn't that save time?"

"Hmph, excuses. They're all excuses. You just think I'm annoying and see me as dead weight!"

Bibi Dong puffed out her cheeks and turned her head aside in a huff. She looked like a pufferfish that had been provoked, incredibly adorable.

As Wang Jingyu's favorite female character from the original work, seeing her act like this nearly made him melt from cuteness.

After pondering for a while, Wang Jingyu pulled Bibi Dong in front of him and softly told her,

"Since you want to follow me so badly, it's not impossible. But only you can follow me alone. I don't trust the others."

"Really?" Bibi Dong's eyes instantly lit up, and she immediately agreed.

"Fine. I'll make arrangements with my teammates, and then we'll act alone. I don't want them following us either."

How could Bibi Dong possibly let this chance to build a good relationship with Wang Jingyu slip away? The Spirit Hall members assigned to protect her were indeed far too much of an eyesore.

Especially Ju Douluo. He was currently one of her teacher's favorites, and there were many things he could not be allowed to hear.

Otherwise, if he ran back to Spirit Hall and said a few things to her teacher, it might expose the "secret" between her and Wang Jingyu.

After returning to the group, Bibi Dong announced her decision to act alone with Wang Jingyu.

Ju Douluo was naturally the first to object.

"Saintess, I cannot agree. I was ordered by His Holiness the Pope to accompany you throughout the journey. How can I simply leave like this?

"This is the Star Dou Great Forest, full of dangers. If anything happens to you, I cannot escape blame."

"You have to agree even if you don't want to, Chrysanthemum Elder. He and I are only searching for hundred-year Soul Rings in the outer region. Nothing will happen.

"Or do you think this Saintess is truly so useless that I can't even deal with mere hundred-year Soul Beasts? Then what kind of Saintess would I be?"

Bibi Dong did not care whether Ju Douluo agreed or not. She issued her command decisively, firmly refusing to let Ju Douluo and his subordinates follow her.

After a lengthy standoff, Bibi Dong finally persuaded Ju Douluo to leave first and forbade them from secretly following her.

Only after Ju Douluo led the Spirit Hall group away did Wang Jingyu head deeper into the forest with Bibi Dong.

After walking less than five hundred meters, Wang Jingyu felt as though someone was watching him.

Clearly, those people were not comfortable with Bibi Dong leaving alone with him, so Ju Douluo was secretly observing them.

Wang Jingyu angrily cursed Ju Douluo in his diary.

That disgusting half-man, half-woman actually dares to spy on me in secret.

Does he have even the slightest public decency? Does he even know what shame is?

Hmph! In that case, I can only take a gamble.

Let me think. How should I mess with that old bastard?

Eh, right! Hehe, I've got it!

After uploading the diary, Wang Jingyu received a reward of Agility +10, but he had no time to care about it.

He silently closed his eyes. The next second, the Three Tomoe Sharingan he had just obtained from the system spun rapidly, releasing an indiscriminate Illusion Technique upon every target secretly watching nearby.

The instant the Illusion Technique was released, Wang Jingyu felt more than half his Soul Power drain away. His entire body felt weak and drained.

Ignoring that feeling of weakness, he took Bibi Dong's hand and hurriedly left the area.

Taking advantage of Wang Jingyu's inattention, Bibi Dong opened the Diary Instance and secretly read its contents.

But she had no idea what Wang Jingyu had done. Filled with intense curiosity, she could only follow after him.

Ju Douluo, who had carelessly fallen under the Illusion Technique, did not notice them leaving. He only saw them stop walking.

"Wang Jingyu" actually turned around and stared into "Bibi Dong's" eyes. Ju Douluo had no idea how long the two stared at each other, but he was already getting bored from watching.

Hadn't they agreed to hunt Soul Beasts and obtain Soul Rings?

Why were they just standing there, staring at each other?

Just as Ju Douluo was beginning to feel sleepy, the two embraced.

That alone would have been one thing, but he actually saw the man begin to gently kiss the Saintess.

The Saintess's eyes were hazy as she tried to respond to the man's passionate kisses. Swaying her delicate body, she slowly began to remove her clothes...

Outrageous. Absolutely outrageous.

How could the Saintess do something so indecent with a strange man out in the wilderness?

He hurriedly rushed out, intending to stop the pair's improper behavior.

"Brat, you dare defile the Saintess of Spirit Hall? You're courting death!"

After rushing in front of them, he raised his hand and struck at Wang Jingyu before him.

But the next second, his hand passed directly through Wang Jingyu. The scene he had seen shattered instantly like an illusion.

Where were Wang Jingyu and Bibi Dong? There was only a rat-type Soul Beast scurrying past him, giving him a look as though he were an idiot.

Ju Douluo's actions also drew the other Spirit Hall members over. A Soul Saint-level powerhouse looked at him in confusion.

"Chrysanthemum Elder, what are you doing? Why are you wildly grabbing at thin air?"
