Gangzi Fell for the Wrong Move (Seeking Follow-up Reads)

He deduced the sequence of events.

Tang Yuehua did not understand why Bibi Dong had summoned this disciple.

After all, their interaction yesterday was like a blind cat finding a dead mouse; that vicious kick to the groin was something only a sworn enemy of over a decade could deliver.

This current, gentle approach was something she had truly never seen before.

Could the protagonist halo surrounding Yu Xiaogang really be this powerful? It could even change someone who was baying for his blood just yesterday, leading them to pave the way for him and dote upon him.

Lu Mingchuan naturally realized this was Bibi Dong's arrangement.

However, based on his usual way of thinking, he was certain Bibi Dong was harboring some wicked scheme.

In the past, he had always played through the scripts in ways he found amusing, constantly restarting, which was why he had never finished a single one.

Things like having the Ten-Year Lone Bamboo absorb a 50-year spirit ring condensed by "Gangzi."

Or customizing a wooden plug for Luo Sanpao so it couldn't use its spirit skills.

He had done plenty of such interesting things. Aside from shattering the plot, they served no purpose in completing the script.

So, the moment he saw the disciple Bibi Dong had arranged, he immediately thought of his own past antics.

But then, he reconsidered: what could a naive, sweet-natured saintess like Bibi Dong possibly do? That kick to the groin was likely the absolute limit of her capabilities.

Bibi Dong sensed Lu Mingchuan's gaze and returned it with a sweet smile.

She refused to believe that someone who had been humiliated in front of their target could have the thick-skinned audacity to show their face again.

The disciple she had arranged was still clutching Yu Xiaogang's leg, tears streaming down her face as her rolls of fat trembled.

"It is precisely because of your theories that my weak heart has been saved."

"Truly..."

Yu Xiaogang found the disciple before him increasingly pleasing to the eye.

It was a feeling of finding a kindred spirit in the gutter.

Cuihua began to recount her experiences with great emotion.

"My spirit is a stomach; it is precisely because of this spirit that I have grown to such a massive size at such a young age."

She paused for a moment, wiping her snot onto the hem of Yu Xiaogang's trousers.

"But your words have enlightened me. It is not the spirit that is wrong, but myself."

Yu Xiaogang nodded with satisfaction, looking every bit the teacher.

It seemed his spirit theory had truly touched people's hearts.

"So... this is some morning dew I collected for you; it has healing properties. Please, drink it."

Being somewhat arrogant, he didn't overthink it, downing it in one gulp, assuming it was just a gesture of goodwill from a fan.

The only drawback was that this fan was a bit large.

Cuihua took advantage of the moment Yu Xiaogang finished drinking without spilling a drop to signal to Bibi Dong that everything had gone smoothly.

The mastermind, Bibi Dong, merely gave a nod.

[As expected of Dongzi.]

[I didn't expect you to be this wicked. You truly are a naturally evil brat from Spirit Hall.]

Bibi Dong felt quite indignant inside.

Naturally evil, indeed.

She just wanted to prove she wasn't some naive, sweet girl—nothing more. She wished this person would stop over-interpreting her actions.

Lu Mingchuan stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, who had finished the water.

He guessed that Bibi Dong, having mastered the art of low blows, had drugged Gangzi with a laxative, hoping to turn him into a eunuch.

[If you want to make Gangzi a eunuch, just send him to the Star Luo or Heaven Dou royal families; there's no need for all this trouble.]

[You really don't tire yourself out, going to such lengths for a plate of dumplings just to get a bit of vinegar.]

[Besides, he's a young master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect; you're ruining his ability to carry on the family line.]

What Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect?

Bibi Dong curled her lip in disdain.

She had heard Lu Mingchuan's inner thoughts mention it before, but she hadn't given it much weight.

She knew how the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect had treated their young master before he turned six; as the son of the Sect Master, he had been pampered beyond measure.

Someone who had been treated like the center of the universe could never be compared to this fellow, who didn't even dare to manifest his spirit when being beaten.

Besides, who wanted to make Yu Xiaogang a eunuch?

All she wanted was for Yu Xiaogang to be humiliated—so humiliated that he would never dare appear before her again.

Having witnessed his tenacious vitality yesterday, she knew physical damage was useless against him, so she had resorted to the unorthodox methods her maids had suggested.

The medicine she had just had Cuihua use was a Galloping Torrent.

Fearing that it might not be effective enough on Yu Xiaogang, she specifically instructed Cuihua to use a dosage that could easily incapacitate even a spirit beast.

Right, it would be best to get some distance now.

"Mingchuan, Yuehua, let's give this disciple and Yu Xiaogang some space to be alone." After saying this, Bibi Dong exchanged a glance with Cuihua, signaling her to leave quickly as well.

The two of them had no idea what Bibi Dong was up to.

But seeing her solemn expression, they followed behind her.

She led the two to another corner and looked toward where Yu Xiaogang was.

After waiting for a while, she looked over there with some confusion: "Why hasn't Cuihua left yet?"

[Leave? You, Bibi Dong, are the true master.]

[Looks like Gangzi is about to return to the life of nightly revelry at the Blue Sky Tyrant Sect.]

Tang Yuehua and Bibi Dong looked over there, puzzled.

They discovered that Yu Xiaogang's face was flushed red, his hands were tearing at his own clothes, and he was trying to kiss everyone in sight.

Meanwhile, the burly Cuihua held Yu Xiaogang with a smile, reciprocating his passion while feigning concern as she asked, "Master, what is wrong with you?"

Then, to the utter bewilderment of the three onlookers.

She swept Yu Xiaogang up in a bridal carry and, in less than five seconds, completely vanished from their sight.

Watching Cuihua's impatient, lustful demeanor, how could Bibi Dong not realize that she had swapped the Galloping Torrent she had provided for Bewildering Passion?

Tang Yuehua covered her face and chuckled softly: "The Spirit Hall truly has a robust culture."

The facts laid out before them required no explanation.

Lu Mingchuan nodded in agreement with Tang Yuehua's words.

Gangzi had even started driving a Tiger Tank.

How did the script for these two end up like this? The male lead had been abducted by a female hooligan, and the mastermind behind it all was the female lead.

Bibi Dong laughed sheepishly: "You both heard it; that disciple acted that way because of her obsession with Yu Xiaogang, it does not represent the Spirit Hall."

She had only told her attendant to select a suitable disciple to drug Yu Xiaogang; she had never imagined the situation would unfold like this.

"Forget it, let us not disturb Master Yu Xiaogang's good fortune," Lu Mingchuan said with a righteous expression.

If the people beside him hadn't seen the mocking smirk at the corner of his mouth, they might have truly taken him for a righteous man.

Tang Yuehua clapped her hands lightly.

"That will do. Let my domain cleanse everyone's eyes and calm your minds while we are at it."

Having witnessed the scene of Yu Xiaogang begging Cuihua for a kiss just now, she felt a desperate need for an eye-cleansing.

It was just a pity that she had no opportunity to prove herself, so she could only leave that for another time.

Meanwhile, at Cuihua's residence.

A figure rushed in with earth-shaking urgency and slammed the door shut.

After a long while, a foul-mouthed curse drifted from inside the room.

"What the hell, it's only been this long?"
