Putting on a Good Show

The next morning.

Wang Jingyu and the Spirit Hall group checked out of the Home Inn and spent over ten hours returning to Suotuo City.

From the time they returned to Suotuo City, Wang Jingyu spent the following week between the inn and the Great Soul Arena.

The main reason was that Bibi Dong had yet to achieve her purpose in coming to Suotuo City. She needed to obtain the Golden Douluo Badge as soon as possible.

Who knew what had provoked this girl.

Starting on the second day after returning to Suotuo City, she had Ju Douluo submit an application to the Great Soul Arena.

She requested that the Great Soul Arena arrange at least ten opponents for her every day, in a consecutive battle format.

Although the Great Soul Arena was baffled by Bibi Dong's reckless move, it agreed to her request.

So, acting on the principle that only fools passed up free money,

Wang Jingyu watched Bibi Dong's matches every day and bet large amounts of Gold Soul Coins on her.

Because Bibi Dong had won too many consecutive matches and earned the recognition of a large audience, her odds after winning had fallen to 1.08.

But with ten matches every day, Wang Jingyu crazily poured every bit of his earnings into the next day's bets without holding anything back.

After the first day, Wang Jingyu's funds had surpassed the four-hundred-thousand mark, and the next day they broke through nine hundred thousand.

His madness quickly caught the attention of the Suotuo City Great Soul Arena. They found it terrifying.

If that money kept snowballing, the entire Suotuo City Great Soul Arena might soon belong to Wang Jingyu.

So they hastily established a rule: a single bet could not exceed fifty thousand Gold Soul Coins.

They claimed it was to protect the audience's property and that everything was being done with the audience's interests in mind.

Wang Jingyu was quite dissatisfied with their sore-loser behavior, but he had no choice. After all, this was their turf.

If he wanted to get by on someone else's turf, he had to follow their rules.

Otherwise, the Great Soul Arena might blacklist him outright in the future.

On the eighth day after returning to Suotuo City, Wang Jingyu arrived at the Great Soul Arena as usual.

He found that Bibi Dong had already arrived early, preparing for another day of consecutive battles.

Standing beside her was someone Wang Jingyu greatly disliked.

Wasn't that person Yu Xiaogang, who had been beaten half to death by beggars a week ago and sent back to the Heaven Dou Imperial Capital?

At that moment, he was shamelessly fawning over Bibi Dong.

The obsequious grin on his face was utterly disgusting.

But Bibi Dong kept a cold expression and paid him little attention.

Yu Xiaogang acted as though he saw nothing. He did not take Bibi Dong's cold attitude to heart at all.

Because he knew that the worse Dong'er's attitude toward him was, the more indifferent she acted, the more it proved that she cared about him.

Everything she did had a simple purpose: to protect him from the Pope's persecution...

Bibi Dong was also deeply annoyed at the moment. She had originally thought that after Yu Xiaogang was savagely beaten by those beggars, he would need at least several months to recover.

That was why, when she sent Yu Xiaogang away, she had deliberately told him that she would wait for him in Suotuo City.

She never expected him to return to Suotuo City so quickly, with all his injuries already healed.

While she was feeling troubled, she heard a gentle, familiar voice. "Dong'er, morning."

The moment Bibi Dong heard that voice, her eyes lit up.

She raised her head and saw Wang Jingyu looking at her with a teasing smile.

She immediately abandoned Yu Xiaogang and ran toward Wang Jingyu as though she had seen a savior, sparing herself from Yu Xiaogang's pestering.

She lowered her voice as much as possible and complained in a voice only the two of them could hear.

"That annoying guy is back again. This is ridiculous. He's completely shameless. It's disgusting."

Wang Jingyu also leaned close to her ear and asked,

"Didn't you say the beggars broke seven of his ribs, both his hands, and one foot? You said he'd need at least a few months, maybe even half a year, to recover.

But now he's standing here perfectly fine. Did something go wrong?"

Bibi Dong puffed out her cheeks and said in frustration,

"He said his father specifically hired a Titled Douluo-level Healing Spirit Master surnamed Ye to treat his injuries, which was why he recovered so quickly."

Surnamed Ye, a Healing Spirit Master, and a Titled Douluo powerhouse?

Wang Jingyu raised an eyebrow. Could it be the Ye Family that possessed the Nine Heart Begonia?

Other than that family, Wang Jingyu could not think of any Ye Family with such a foundation.

Seeing Bibi Dong throw herself into Wang Jingyu's arms with his own eyes, Yu Xiaogang exploded on the spot. He instantly felt as though a green haze had formed above his head.

How could his Dong'er throw herself into another man's arms?

Just a week ago, Dong'er had gently confessed her feelings to him.

He could tell that Dong'er was definitely interested in him. It couldn't have been an act!

Thinking of how Dong'er had told him that her teacher managed her very strictly,

she could only conceal her love for him in public and had even been forced to go against her heart and strike him.

He was more willing to believe what Dong'er had said. Dong'er would not lie to him. Dong'er definitely loved him in her heart.

But what was this now? Was this also to throw people off? Had Dong'er been forced to do this?

But even knowing that, rage and jealousy filled his eyes with jealous fire. He wanted nothing more than to kill Wang Jingyu.

He tried to force down the fury in his heart, clenching his fists so tightly that they crackled.

Wang Jingyu sensed Yu Xiaogang's anger. With a smile on his lips, he softly said to Bibi Dong,

"Dong'er, that dog is staring at us. How about we put on a good show for him?"

Bibi Dong offered no further reply and simply said three words.

"Mm. Hold me tight."

Hearing Bibi Dong's tacit consent, Wang Jingyu wrapped an arm around her slender waist and pulled her into his embrace.

That bold move directly ignited Yu Xiaogang's jealousy.

But it was not over yet. He actually saw Bibi Dong rise onto her tiptoes and wrap her arms around Wang Jingyu's neck.

She actually offered him her red lips.

Yu Xiaogang's mind buzzed as though he had been struck by lightning. No matter what, he could not believe that Dong'er had taken the initiative to kiss someone else.

And the person she kissed was trash even more useless than him, with Soul Power at only level 20!

How was that possible? Dong'er had to have been forced. She had definitely been forced!

He refused to believe it. Dong'er clearly loved him!

This man must have used some despicable method, such as threats, temptation, drugs, or a curse on Dong'er.

Yu Xiaogang was not the only one who had not expected Bibi Dong to do this.

Even Wang Jingyu himself had not expected this girl to suddenly kiss him, catching him off guard.

Everyone present widened their eyes, especially the Spirit Hall personnel led by Ju Douluo.

They had never expected the always innocent Saintess to be so proactive.

She had actually taken the initiative to kiss a "stranger" she had known for less than ten days.

He hurriedly turned toward the arena and stopped his subordinates from looking as well.

Young people were far too bold. He simply could not bear to watch...
