An inn in Spirit City.
Yu Xiaogang stood by the window, gazing at Spirit Hall in the distance. His hands gripped the window frame tightly, his heart in turmoil, unable to calm down.
During the day, Bibi Dong had told Yu Xiaogang that she wanted to tell the Pope about their relationship and ask for permission to elope with him.
Yu Xiaogang had refused at the time.
The script he had envisioned was for him to secretly bring Bibi Dong back to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, so his father could see that although his talent was lacking, the wife he had found was formidable.
Bibi Dong had been gone for nearly six hours now and still had not sent him any message. Yu Xiaogang was beginning to panic.
Seeing that night was about to fall, Yu Xiaogang reassured himself that the Pope must have been too busy, and Dong'er had not found a suitable opportunity. Otherwise, he should be sitting in Spirit City's dungeon by now.
Suppressing the panic in his heart, Yu Xiaogang went downstairs and found the innkeeper, intending to eat. However, the innkeeper told him that all the ingredients had sold out today.
Having gone six hours without food, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to head outside for dinner.
The moment he turned into a dim alley beside the inn, Yu Xiaogang saw a panicked young woman run in from the exit ahead. She cried for help while three thugs chased after her with lewd grins.
In her haste to flee, the young woman failed to notice the ground. She tripped and fell, then looked up to find Yu Xiaogang just a few steps away. Her desperate voice rang out.
"Young Master, someone behind me is trying to capture me. Please, save me!"
Yu Xiaogang had not intended to bother, but when the young woman looked up, her tear-streaked face suddenly filled his vision. The redness at the corners of her eyes stirred the heroic spirit in his heart.
He gently helped her up, his voice incomparably tender.
"Miss, rest assured. With me here, I will never let you suffer the slightest harm again!"
The three thugs looked disdainfully at Yu Xiaogang, who shielded the young woman behind him. Contempt flashed in their eyes as they drew three long blades from behind their backs.
"Brat, we'll give you one chance. Get out of this alley."
Yu Xiaogang sneered. He had already seen that the three were merely ordinary people, not one of them a Soul Master. This made him even more imposing. He raised his head toward the sky and spoke as though bestowing a favor.
"I'll give you one chance too. Leave now, and I'll mercifully spare you."
"Brat, since you refuse to appreciate our kindness, go die!"
The three thugs completely blocked off the alley and strode forward, three flashes of cold light slashing straight at Yu Xiaogang.
Yu Xiaogang snorted coldly. Two yellow Soul Rings flashed behind him as he shouted in a low voice, "Luo Sanpao!"
Luo Sanpao, who looked like a pig, charged into the leading thug the instant he appeared.
Yu Xiaogang had originally intended to use a soul skill, but to his surprise, Luo Sanpao's charge made the thug scream miserably. His body flew through the air, knocking down the two thugs behind him as well.
Catching the admiration in the young woman's eyes from the corner of his eye, Yu Xiaogang grew even more pleased with himself. He continuously directed Luo Sanpao to dart between the thugs' attacks, dodging their blades within a hair's breadth.
Before long, all three thugs were battered black and blue, kneeling on the ground and kowtowing for mercy.
"Lord Soul Master, we failed to recognize greatness!"
"Please spare our lives!"
"Get lost. If I hear of this again, you'll leave your lives behind next time!"
"Thank you, Lord Soul Master!"
The thugs fled in utter disarray, and Yu Xiaogang turned to show concern for the young woman behind him.
From the young woman, he learned that she had been captured by the thugs and now had nowhere to go. Looking into her pitiful eyes, Yu Xiaogang "reluctantly" agreed to take her back to the inn.
While Yu Xiaogang and the young woman were returning, Qian Mochen brought Bibi Dong to rent a room beside Yu Xiaogang's.
"What exactly are you trying to do?!"
"That woman was arranged by you, wasn't she?!"
Bibi Dong's tone was full of accusation, and fire practically blazed from her eyes.
"What, are you afraid?"
Qian Mochen's single sentence made Bibi Dong explode.
"Who got defensive?!"
Seeing the Emotion Points flowing into the system's backend, Qian Mochen smiled faintly. Everything went without saying.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists, suddenly wanting to bring her fist into intimate contact with Qian Mochen's hateful face.
"Stop arguing. Your Gangzi has already returned with the young woman."
Bibi Dong shot Qian Mochen a hateful glare, then pricked up her ears and listened carefully to the sounds next door.
"Why are you here?"
Hearing a knock at the door, Yu Xiaogang pulled it open. When he saw the young woman, his gaze trembled unconsciously. Her hair was slightly damp, and the fragrance of a recent bath clung to her body. Her moist lips gave rise to a sudden thought in his mind.
Those rosy lips must taste sweet!
"Young Master, you saved my life!"
As she spoke, the young woman naturally stepped over the threshold. Yu Xiaogang instinctively backed away, while she pressed forward step by step.
"Young Master, you are my great benefactor."
"I possess nothing of value. For your life-saving grace, this humble woman can only offer herself to you."
"I... can't." Yu Xiaogang felt the softness in his palm, and even his voice trembled.
"Young Master, this humble woman knows that you must be of extraordinary birth, but this humble woman only wishes to have this one chance."
"Young Master, can you fulfill this humble woman's wish?"
Yu Xiaogang lowered his head and looked at the tearful young woman. For some reason, his heart softened. Yes, she had merely fallen for someone as outstanding as himself. What was wrong with that?
The force in Yu Xiaogang's hands suddenly loosened, and he took the initiative to carry the young woman onto the bed.
Listening to the sounds from next door, Bibi Dong's face turned from red to black, then from black to white.
"Yu Xiaogang!!"
Bibi Dong's furious roar instantly exploded. The sound waves struck the barrier in the room and vanished completely, leaving Yu Xiaogang next door, immersed in tenderness, entirely unaffected.
Unable to bear Yu Xiaogang's betrayal, six Soul Rings that had only just begun to form flashed around Bibi Dong. A terrifying pressure descended instantly, but a hand pressed onto her shoulder and suppressed her in an instant.
Bibi Dong turned her head, her eyes blazing with rage as she looked at Qian Mochen and said word by word.
"Let—go—of—me!"
"Don't be in such a hurry. Don't you want to hear the true feelings of your beloved Gangzi?"
The intimate sounds next door ended in less than three minutes. The young woman skillfully steered the conversation, and before long Yu Xiaogang was telling her about his great achievements.
"Do you know that the man you have is the future husband of Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden?"
"Really? Husband, you're so amazing!" The young woman lay on Yu Xiaogang's chest, her sparkling eyes full of admiration.
"Of course. I only needed to show a little of my skill, and the Holy Maiden became completely obsessed with me."
"Then, Husband, will I still be able to see you in the future?"
"Don't worry. Pursuing the Holy Maiden is merely my way of proving my abilities to my father. The only one I love is you."
"Husband, you're so good~"
The young woman employed every trick at her disposal, and Yu Xiaogang mounted another charge.
Yu Xiaogang's words entered Bibi Dong's ears clearly. Hearing the notification ring out in his mind, Qian Mochen silently thanked his best support, Gangzi.
