Being Watched

Yu Xiaogang quickly came to his senses. He carefully pondered Bibi Dong's words—she had said that she was not familiar with him, at least not yet.

Especially Bibi Dong's final words, "Don't think just because you are..." They piqued his curiosity.

What exactly was he? Her secret crush? Her future boyfriend? Or something else?

Her words had abruptly stopped, leaving him endless room for imagination.

He could not help guessing that Bibi Dong actually liked him; she was simply too thin-skinned to admit it.

And he had shamelessly called her by her pet name so affectionately in front of tens of thousands of people.

That must have embarrassed her, which was why she had lashed out in shame and claimed that she was not familiar with him.

As the saying went, fighting was affection and scolding was love; without fighting or scolding, there was no love.

Now Bibi Dong had both scolded and hit him. Did that not mean their relationship had gone a step further?

At that thought, Yu Xiaogang was not upset in the slightest about being slapped. Instead, a foolish grin spread across his face as he chased after Bibi Dong.

Wang Jingyu, who had witnessed everything, wore a baffled expression.

Bibi Dong had actually slapped Yu Xiaogang? What the hell was going on? He could practically be certain that this girl had indeed become somewhat abnormal.

Yu Xiaogang was no more normal either. He had been slapped, yet his face was still full of smiles. What was that about?

That was not scientific.

Could it be that, in the original story, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's romance had never been a normal relationship? Was it some kind of bizarre love spoken of in legends?

Bibi Dong noticed that Yu Xiaogang was still following behind her, and anger rose within her.

Was Yu Xiaogang an idiot? She had already made her attitude obvious enough.

Why was this guy still shamelessly trailing after her? Did he really have no shame at all?

Or was she truly unable to escape the fate of falling in love with Yu Xiaogang? No! Absolutely not!

Even if this world truly was a novel world, and she was destined to share an unforgettable love with Yu Xiaogang, she absolutely would not believe in fate!

She would resist that destiny. She would never accept having her fate manipulated by others!

She crooked a finger at several Spirit Hall subordinates and said coldly, "Stop that guy for me. Don't let him disturb me! If he refuses to take the hint, drag him out of the Great Soul Arena and give him a beating."

After giving her subordinates their orders, Bibi Dong headed for her private room to wait for the next match to begin.

Yu Xiaogang wanted to keep following her, but Spirit Hall members stopped him, catching him off guard.

"Why are you stopping me? Dong'er is waiting for me."

The Spirit Hall members could not be bothered arguing with him. They merely stared at him as though he were mentally impaired, guarding against him sneaking into the private room.

After returning to her room, Bibi Dong took out the "Goddess Diary Instance" from her storage space, wanting to see whether it had updated today.

From the diary, she could tell that the mysterious person was currently confused as to why her attitude toward Yu Xiaogang had changed so drastically.

That alone would have been one thing, but he even said she had become abnormal. What nonsense!

After learning so many secrets, it would have been abnormal if she could still accept Yu Xiaogang, all right?

A trace of anger appeared on her face. The diary's author had deliberately placed the diary before her so that she could see everything crystal clear.

Yet now he found her changed attitude strange. Was that not hypocritical?

She seriously suspected that the diary's author had a crush on her, but knew that she was originally meant to become a couple with Yu Xiaogang.

That was why he had deliberately written these diary entries and delivered the diary to her, making her develop disgust toward Yu Xiaogang.

Now, his goal had been achieved.

Yu Xiaogang's behavior today had indeed made her feel heartfelt repulsion.

"Damn it, this guy obviously has a crush on me, but he refuses to admit it! He insists on pairing me with that idiot Yu Xiaogang. Is something wrong with his brain?!"

Bibi Dong angrily hurled the diary to the floor, then raised her little foot and viciously stomped on it several times.

Her cheeks puffed up. If anyone else had been there, they would surely have been amused by her expression of, "Baby is very angry, and the consequences are severe."

After venting for a while, Bibi Dong picked up the diary again and continued reading.

The mysterious person also said that he had made a huge profit of 78,000 from betting on her victory! That was pure profit.

How could this guy do that? She had worked herself to the bone competing in the arena.

Meanwhile, he had done nothing and earned 78,000 Gold Soul Coins lying down.

No! How could she let herself suffer such a loss?

At the very least, he had to give her half of that 78,000. If not, then they had to split it seventy-thirty!

Although she was the Saintess of Spirit Hall, even her usual spending money was not a fraction of what the mysterious person had!

Thinking this, Bibi Dong spread the diary open and placed it on the sofa before leaving the private room.

The diary could not be torn apart or burned, and only she could see it, so she was not worried about any secrets leaking out.

Ju Douluo was watching other Spirit Hall members compete.

This time, Spirit Hall had sent a total of three promising newcomers to the Great Soul Arena for experience, and Bibi Dong was one of them.

Seeing Bibi Dong approach him, Ju Douluo gave her a nod.

"Saintess, were you looking for me?"

"Yes. How did the investigation I asked you to conduct go?" Bibi Dong asked Ju Douluo softly.

"Saintess, since the Great Soul Arena places great importance on protecting its clients' privacy, the people we sent couldn't pry anything out of them. However..."

Ju Douluo lowered his voice as well and turned his gaze toward Wang Jingyu.

"Earlier, I arranged for two subordinates to keep watch at the administration office. They discovered that that man was highly suspicious.

I can basically confirm that he was the one who wagered a large amount of Gold Soul Coins on you to win."

Bibi Dong glanced toward Wang Jingyu, a hint of amusement appearing at the corner of her lips.

At that very moment, Wang Jingyu's eyes drifted over seemingly by accident, and their gazes briefly met.

But it lasted only an instant.

Wang Jingyu hurriedly looked away, pretending that nothing had happened.

Inside, however, he was panicking like crazy. He summoned the Diary System and frantically complained on the illusory screen.

Damn, what's going on? Bibi Dong has been staring at me this whole time! And she's even wearing that bad-girl smile.

Why is she still staring at me? Could it be that I'm just too handsome and she's taken a fancy to me?

Heavens, don't mess with me like this, okay? My rewards only increased my looks by 1 point. I shouldn't be handsome enough to shatter the heavens, right? Enough to make her fall for me?

Impossible, absolutely impossible! Didn't she only love Yu Xiaogang her entire life?

She was someone who could endure humiliation for Yu Xiaogang, even devouring her own teacher completely. What a ruthless woman.

No, no, this girl should be Wolf Extinguisher. She was far more than merely ruthless!

Miss Dong'er, even though I really like you, I know my own limits. There's no way you could possibly like me...

Please stop staring at me. It's giving me the creeps.
