Plunged into an Ice Cave

From the original work, it was clear that titles like "Clear Sky Douluo," "Angel Douluo," and "Thunder Douluo" had never referred exclusively to one person.

After the holder of such a title passed away or mysteriously disappeared,

if a later descendant possessed the same martial soul and reached the rank of Titled Douluo, they would inherit that title.

Before Tang Hao became a Titled Douluo, the title Clear Sky Douluo referred to his grandfather, Tang Chen.

Likewise, both Qian Daoliu and the later Ye Guyi had held the title Angel Douluo.

Even the title Sea God Douluo had been held not only by Bo Saixi, but also by Chen Xinjie in Soul Land 3.

At that thought, the stone hanging over Wang Jingyu's heart could finally be put down.

Even if Spirit Hall had Qian Daoliu, who was likewise Rank 99, on land—

without a doubt, Tang Chen, known as "invincible on land," held the greatest advantage. This was his home ground.

So, with Tang Chen's Experience Card in hand, Wang Jingyu felt that

if Bibi Dong really encountered the situation from the original work, using the Experience Card to force his way into Spirit Hall would not be much of a problem.

Wang Jingyu then took out the mask-like object from his storage space.

Once the mask was in his hand, Wang Jingyu found it soft and warm, with a faint sensation of blending into his skin.

Information about the mask appeared before his eyes.

Illusion Mask: Capable of changing the wearer's appearance.

The body can alter its height, weight, aura, and even gender according to the wearer's wishes. Additional attribute: Charm +10.

"Holy shit? This mask is awesome!

Not only can it change my appearance, it can also change my height, weight, and even gender.

If I wear this thing from now on, even if I strutted right in front of Qian Xunji, he probably wouldn't realize I'm the person he wants to catch."

Wang Jingyu grinned smugly and put the mask over his face.

He felt it completely meld with his face, as though it had always been a layer of skin on it.

He quickly walked into the bathroom and looked in the mirror. His reflection still looked like himself.

Wang Jingyu tried controlling the mask to alter his appearance, choosing Qian Xunji, whom he had just seen in the 3D holographic projection, as his target.

As his appearance changed, his body changed as well, and an aura of the Pope's nobility and majesty radiated from him.

However, no matter how Wang Jingyu looked at that face in the mirror, he found it begging to be punched.

To stop himself from slapping his own face, he changed his appearance into what he had looked like in his previous life.

Though he had not been as handsome in his previous life as he was now, he had looked quite spirited.

Combined with the mask's additional ten points of charm and the one point of charm the system had given him before,

Wang Jingyu suddenly realized that his reflection was still rather attractive.

But this was not the time to dwell on that. He had to see what Bibi Dong was doing first.

He activated the Heavenly Eye function and tried to see what Bibi Dong was doing at the moment.

To his surprise, the system directly refused him.

"Target detected bathing. In order to protect the target's personal privacy, this system refuses to provide the host with information."

(The system is a robot and has no real awareness of gender, so dear readers, don't be so possessive...)

Holy shit! Bibi Dong was bathing?

If he could activate the Heavenly Eye now, wouldn't Bibi Dong's 3D holographic projection while bathing make his nose bleed?

But the system would not let him see it. What an unfriendly system! He had made a bad friend!

"System, damn you! Can you stop being so stingy? Why can you see it but not share it with me?"

"System, I'm telling you, you'd better hurry up, or I'm done with you!"

"Dear System, please let me take a look. I just want to know whether Dong'er is safe, whether that old pervert Qian Xunji is going to hurt her!"

No matter how Wang Jingyu threatened, tempted, or even used unbinding the system as leverage,

the system could not be bothered to respond, leaving Wang Jingyu frustrated beyond measure.

This damn system was utterly shameless! It was enjoying it all by itself and did not understand the meaning of sharing good fortune! Damn it!

While Wang Jingyu was feeling frustrated, Bibi Dong was lying in the bathtub. This should have been an enjoyable experience.

Yet there was not the slightest trace of comfort on her face, and her entire body was even trembling faintly.

To keep herself from getting too bored while bathing, she had taken the Goddess Diary Instance out of her Storage Spirit Tool.

The latest diary entry had made her feel as though she had fallen into an ice cave.

Everything that had happened between her, her teacher, and Ju Douluo in the Holy Hall earlier had been seen by Wang Jingyu.

Of course, that was not what concerned her.

What concerned her was that he had said her sudden drastic change in attitude toward her teacher might make him suspicious.

Moreover, the diary had actually said that her teacher would drug her into unconsciousness and take advantage of the opportunity to violate her.

He would even force her to become pregnant with his child and make her marry him!

Only now did she understand why Wang Jingyu had never told her what kind of tragedy she would suffer in the future.

For a young girl, having her virginity taken by someone she did not love and being forced to bear his child—

without question, that was something they could never accept. To them, it was absolutely more agonizing than death.

No, she absolutely could not sit here and wait for death.

She had to run. She had to leave this den of demons.

No matter what, she could not stay here any longer!

Her entire body began trembling uncontrollably.

Unable to continue bathing, she hurriedly tossed the Goddess Diary Instance into her Storage Spirit Tool.

She rushed out of the bathtub, too hurried to even dry the water from her body, threw on her clothes, and ran toward the door of her bedroom.

The moment she opened the door, four Soul Saint guards stopped her. One of them respectfully clasped his hands and bowed to her.

"Saintess, may I ask where you are going? His Holiness the Pope has ordered that you are temporarily forbidden from leaving and may only remain in your room.

From now on, we will deliver your three meals to your room. Please return and rest well, Saintess."

It was over! Bibi Dong's mind buzzed instantly.

She understood that matters had already slipped beyond her control.

Her teacher might already have noticed something was wrong. He had begun imprisoning her and preventing her from coming and going.

She could not help regretting it now, regretting that she had not listened to Wang Jingyu.

The key was that she had truly failed to keep her composure. If not for that, she would at least still have had room to maneuver.

She slowly closed the door, walked into a corner, hugged her knees with both arms, buried her head against them, and began to cry.

She no longer hoped to escape alive. After all, this was her own fault.

Now, she only hoped that once Wang Jingyu learned of this, he would quickly flee Spirit City and not foolishly force his way into Spirit Hall.

She understood Spirit Hall's foundations better than anyone.

There should be no one in this world capable of breaking into Spirit Hall without suffering a scratch. There should be no one...
