"Since that's the case."
Qian Cheng lightly swept his palm through the air.
A bloodline appeared across Tang Hai's neck, and the breath of life gradually faded from him.
Tang Hai could not understand why he had encountered such a vicious star, dying without ever knowing why.
"Your luck is truly quite good. You managed to encounter two soul masters at the same time."
Qian Cheng put away Chaos Guixu and turned his gaze toward the pair of sisters.
"Good luck? I don't see it that way."
The girl's reddened eyes had long been soaked with tears, and there was a hint of choking sobs in her voice.
"Soul masters usually do not trouble commoners, because there is nothing to squeeze out of them."
"Besides, soul masters are already rare, and the little rats of the Clear Sky Sect are even rarer."
"So perhaps you truly do not understand this concept..."
Qian Cheng paused slightly before continuing, "The odds are about as low as you being the emperor's illegitimate daughter."
"So you mean we were destined to suffer this disaster?"
The girl's face was expressionless, but her voice carried a trace of unwillingness.
Why should commoners suffer such undeserved calamities?
Why were soul masters and nobles born superior to others?
Her resentment and anger seemed to turn into a seed that slowly took root and sprouted in her heart.
"Who knows?"
Qian Cheng beckoned to Hu Liena and said indifferently, "The show is over. Continue your training."
"Soul masters are like ordinary people. There are good soul masters, and there are bad ones."
As she watched Qian Cheng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, a complicated light flickered in the girl's eyes. No one knew what she was thinking.
"Big Sister, we've been saved."
Only now did the frightened child dare to speak.
"Yes... we've been saved."
The girl came back to her senses and murmured to herself.
The pitch-black night blanketed the earth, while a bright silver moon hung high in the starry sky.
Yet within the Ink Moon Hotel of Heaven Star City, an unusual wedding was being held.
There were no guests and no host, only the bride, the groom, and the witness.
As the witness, Flender had taken out all his savings to book the Ink Moon Hotel.
All so he could give his brother and his beloved a complete wedding!
"First bow to Heaven and Earth!"
"Second bow to your elder brother!"
"Bride and groom, bow to each other!"
Under normal circumstances, the newlyweds' second bow would be to both sets of parents, but—
Yu Xiaogang said that all his relatives were dead!
Liu Erlong also said that her mother had died, while her father was practically as good as dead.
Thus, the original bow to the elders had become a bow to Flender.
At this moment, Flender was suffering terribly inside.
The woman I loved was getting married, but the groom wasn't me!
My beloved was lost, and everywhere I looked was ruin!
But as a veteran simp, no matter how much pain Flender felt, he still forced out a smile.
After all, this was the wedding of his brother and beloved. Even if he lost face himself, he could not let his brother and beloved lose theirs!
"Xiao Gang, Erlong, congratulations!"
What Flender was thinking when he said that, Qian Cheng certainly did not know. But someone definitely understood!
"Bibi Dong, how does it feel to see the man you love again?"
"Forgive my bluntness, but Yu Xiaogang really isn't much to look at. How did you fall for him?"
Bibi Dong, in her soul state, said nothing. Black smoke kept pouring from her body as her scarlet eyes fixed venomously on Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang!!!
I gave everything for you. I even endured Qian Xunji's humiliation, all for your safety!
Yet after only nine years, you found another woman?
You've even reached the point of discussing marriage?
Is this how you treat me?
What do I lack compared to that woman?
Whether it's my figure, appearance, or talent, I, Bibi Dong, far surpass that woman!
Yu Xiaogang, were you really that impatient?
After only nine years, you threw every promise you made back then completely out of your mind?
Looking at Yu Xiaogang being lovey-dovey with Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong was completely devastated!
My boyfriend was getting married, but the bride wasn't me!
Of course, if Bibi Dong learned that Yu Xiaogang had found someone else again less than half a year after failing to elope with her, it would be even more interesting!
"Teacher, who is this person?"
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong, whose body kept emitting black mist, and swallowed nervously.
Though this woman was very beautiful, she gave Hu Liena an extremely terrifying feeling.
It was as though she might turn into a vicious ghost the next second and swallow her whole.
"She is a titled elder of our Spirit Hall. But because she betrayed Spirit Hall for love, I blew apart her body."
"Her soul, meanwhile, is under my control, working tirelessly as a beast of burden."
Qian Cheng turned to Hu Liena, a teasing smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
Whether it was Bibi Dong or Hu Liena, both were within Qian Cheng's Chaos Guixu. Yu Xiaogang and the others could not see them.
"Teacher, even if I were captured by enemies and they used every means possible against me, I would never betray Spirit Hall!"
Hu Liena's scalp went numb the moment she heard Qian Cheng's words.
The fate of a traitor was to have their soul drilled even after death and serve as a slave for a lifetime?
Her teacher seemed a little different!
He was inhumanly strong, and his heart was inhumanly dark!
"What if they used a handsome man to seduce you?"
Qian Cheng asked with great interest.
"A handsome man? Unless he's stronger than Teacher and better-looking than Teacher, there's absolutely no way it would work!"
Hu Liena stated her thoughts almost without hesitation.
I may be young, but I've seen a real man before!
You think any crooked melon or cracked date can use a handsome-man scheme on me? Go wash up and sleep early—anything is possible in your dreams!
"Your answer is somewhat beyond my expectations."
The corners of Qian Cheng's lips curved upward into a gentle smile. "Next, let's watch a good show!"
"Bibi Dong, I've lifted some of your restrictions. Other than certain secrets you cannot speak of, your other actions are unrestricted."
"Let me see how much you've improved after spending three days inside the Human Emperor Banner."
Qian Cheng made a gesture inviting Bibi Dong to begin her performance, then released the restrictions on Chaos Guixu.
When a soul master's body was blown apart and only their soul remained, their cultivation would certainly be severely affected.
Could Bibi Dong, in her soul state, defeat Liu Erlong?
Qian Cheng was very curious!
"YU XIAOGANG!!!"
A voice filled with intense resentment and venom rang out in the Ink Moon Hotel's hall.
"Who is it?"
Hearing the sudden voice, Flender and the others immediately turned around.
At that moment, Qian Cheng, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena came into view.
Judging from the voice, the speaker had to be an adult woman.
The only one who fit that description was the beautiful woman with horns on her head.
But Liu Erlong had never seen Bibi Dong, and neither had Flender.
As for Yu Xiaogang—
"Who are you? Why are you calling my name?"
Yu Xiaogang stared for a long time, but he still failed to recognize her.
