Yu Xiaogang was deeply confused by Bibi Dong's attitude toward him!

What is going on?

When she sees me now, shouldn't she be overwhelmed with emotion and throw herself into my arms?

Why is it like this!

No!

I understand now!

She is deliberately acting angry to test me.

After all, I haven't come to see her for over twenty years.

If it were me, I would certainly be very angry too.

"Dong'er, I was wrong!"

"I shouldn't have broken up with you back then, and I shouldn't have gone over twenty years without coming to find you."

"For the sake of your love for me, please forgive me."

"I will love you well from now on!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo were completely stunned upon hearing his words.

What kind of outrageous nonsense was this? How could he dare to say such things?

Who on earth gave Yu Xiaogang the courage to run wild in Spirit Hall and disregard the dignity of the Pope?

It seemed he had a death wish!

"You scoundrel!"

"Yu Xiaogang, what do you think you are doing?"

"When have I ever loved you?"

"And 'breaking up'?"

"Has your brain rusted over?"

"If you dare to spout such nonsense again, don't blame this Seat for disregarding our childhood friendship!"

Bibi Dong was thoroughly enraged.

What is this?

After not seeing each other for over twenty years, has Yu Xiaogang turned into this?

Even if he wanted to be a kept man, he shouldn't be this brainless.

Or is he trying to latch onto me?

No!

I cannot let him act recklessly.

If Duan Lang were to find out, she wouldn't be able to explain it clearly even if she had ten thousand mouths.

"Friendship?"

"Dong'er, how have you changed so much?"

"You clearly love me!"

"Why won't you admit it?"

"Have you forgotten the words you said to me when we were young?"

Yu Xiaogang felt a bit heartbroken.

He did not understand why Bibi Dong was treating him this way.

The Sky Screen had already announced that Bibi Dong was in fourth place on the Love Saint Ranking.

She clearly loved him, yet refused to say it; there had to be something wrong here.

"What words did I say?"

Bibi Dong was actually curious; what exactly had she said back then that caused Yu Xiaogang to have such a massive misunderstanding?

"You said that I was so wise and intelligent, and that whoever married me would surely be very happy."

"You also said that when you were with me, you always felt time passed by especially quickly and was particularly interesting."

"You even said that I was a good person, and that you discovered I had a very special merit that no one else possessed."

"Wait, don't these words explain everything?"

"I was indeed a bit foolish back then, choosing to break up with you under the intimidation of Qian Xunji."

"Now that Qian Xunji is dead, the two of us can finally be together."

Yu Xiaogang revealed his true feelings, reciting all the 'sweet nothings' Bibi Dong had once said.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was left completely speechless!

What could that possibly prove?

Still in love with him!

Why doesn't he go find a puddle to look at his own reflection and see what he looks like? Does he really think he's worthy of her love?

Back then, she simply thought Yu Xiaogang was a decent person—someone with perseverance and original ideas who could carve out a unique path by researching the Ten Core Theories of Martial Spirits, making him worth befriending.

Who could have imagined that those words of hers would lead to such a massive misunderstanding?

Unbelievable!

"What could those words possibly prove?"

"This Seat only thought you were decent back then, worth having as a friend, that's all!"

"Who knew you would let your imagination run wild."

"Now, This Seat regrets it. How could I have made such a foolish friend as you?"

"Get out of my sight immediately! I don't want to see you ever again!"

Bibi Dong had almost forgotten about Yu Xiaogang entirely.

If he hadn't suddenly appeared today, she wouldn't even have remembered such a person existed.

"No, that's not it."

"Bibi Dong, you must still love me."

"Otherwise, how could you possibly appear on the Love Saint Ranking?"

"Dong'er, I was truly wrong. Please, just forgive me."

"Let's live a good life together and have a house full of children."

Yu Xiaogang was starting to break down.

Why was the situation unfolding so differently from what he had imagined?

"Have a house full of children with you? In your dreams!"

"How could This Seat have ever known someone like you!"

"Elder Ghost, take back the Pope's Decree and throw this idiot out for This Seat!"

Bibi Dong had reached her limit. She didn't want to look at Yu Xiaogang's face for another second; it made her physically ill.

What did the Love Saint Ranking have to do with him?

Her love belonged only to Duan Changsheng.

"Yes!"

Ghost Douluo responded respectfully. Like he was picking up a chick, he grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the collar and began dragging him toward the exit.

"Dong'er, don't do this! I love you..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish his sentence, Ghost Douluo, having grown impatient, tossed him right out of Spirit Hall.

To think there was such a shameless person in this world.

It was certainly an eye-opener for him!

[Sky Screen: Scumbag Ranking.]

[This ranking is determined by the Heavenly Dao, judging based on emotional history and wretched character to catalog the ten biggest scumbags of the Douluo Continent.]

[The top-ranked individual will receive a twenty-level increase in spirit power; the top three will receive ten levels; the top ten will receive five levels.]

[The Scumbag Ranking updates every month. If the ranking remains unchanged for a full year, the spirit power increase becomes permanent. If there is a change, the rewards will be revoked and redistributed.]

Seven days later, the Sky Screen descended once more, sending the entire continent into an uproar.

In everyone's subconscious, a "scumbag" was a bad man. If they were exposed, so be it—it would just help people cut their losses and avoid trouble.

Logically, this should be a punishment.

How could it be a reward!

Had the Heavenly Dao made a mistake?

"Holy crap, there are benefits to being a scumbag!"

"Fatty, Boss Dai, you guys hit the jackpot this time."

"As long as you make it to the top of the list, you get a direct ten-level boost in spirit power!"

"This is too awesome!"

"I'm actually starting to regret not having the chance to be a scumbag!"

Oscar stared at the rewards of the Scumbag Ranking, green with envy!

He was so handsome; it would be far too easy for him to be a scumbag.

"It is indeed quite awesome."

"However, I think you still have a chance!"

"Didn't the list say it updates once a month?"

"As long as you're scummy enough this month, you'll have a chance to make the list and boost your spirit power!"

"Little Ao, I believe in you!"

Dai Mubai patted Oscar on the shoulder with a meaningful look, then glanced at Zhu Zhuqing, curious to see her reaction.

"Boss Dai, you're right, I really do have a chance!"

"Food-system spirit masters like us usually have a hard time leveling up, but if I can just dominate the top spot of the Scumbag Ranking for a year, those ten levels of spirit power will be mine!"

"Boss Dai, Fatty, you two better not try to steal it from me!"

Deeply enticed by the ten levels of spirit power, Oscar was brimming with motivation, his romantic feelings for Ning Rongrong vanishing in an instant.

He secretly swore to himself that he would become the King of Scumbags.

As long as he held the top spot for a year, those ten levels of spirit power would be his.

Then, he could intentionally drop in the rankings, only to charge back to the top for another year.

If he did this a few times, wouldn't his spirit power reach level one hundred?

At the thought of this, Oscar grew excited.

He wasn't the only one who realized this; Tang San, Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and even Yu Xiaogang far away in Spirit City had all come to the same conclusion.

Even the older generation, like Qian Xunji, felt their hearts stir.

If the rules were exploited correctly, reaching level one hundred and becoming a god was right within their grasp.

"Heh, this Scumbag Ranking is quite interesting!"

Seeing the rewards offered by the Scumbag Ranking, Duan Changsheng also became instantly intrigued.

Becoming a saint of love was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but becoming a scumbag was far simpler!

With this list out, the entire outlook on love across the Douluo Continent would likely undergo a cataclysmic shift.

Everyone would want the rewards and would go to great lengths to act like scumbags, but in the end, how many would actually manage to stay on the list for a full year to secure that permanent boost in spirit power?

[Scumbag Ranking TOP 1: Tang San.]

[This person enjoys playing games with others' feelings, has absolutely no bottom line when it comes to love, and possesses a character so wretched it is rare throughout the ages!]
