Seeing Bibi Dong crying so pitifully before him, Ao Tian suddenly felt a pang of sympathy and reached out, wanting to wipe away her tears.
What man would not feel heartache at the sight of a sorrowful beauty?
Seeing Ao Tian's hand reaching toward her, Bibi Dong immediately snapped out of the "seduction" of his beauty.
She curled up in the corner of the bed and warily scrutinized the unfamiliar man before her.
"Who exactly are you?"
Bibi Dong's voice turned colder. Spirit Emperor-level Soul Power surged through her, and with a flash of cold light, a sharp dagger appeared in her hand.
Ao Tian kept his voice as gentle as possible. "Believe me, you are about to face danger. Only I can save you."
Bibi Dong immediately concluded that this absurdly handsome man had something wrong with his head!
As the Saintess of Spirit Hall, residing within the Papal Palace, with over a dozen Titled Douluo Elders nearby and even more mysterious and powerful Elders, who could possibly harm her?
She had not sensed any malice from Ao Tian. Otherwise, she would have attacked long ago.
"Hmph, the Papal Palace is the safest place on the Douluo Continent. You needn't worry about my safety. I don't care who you are, but leave at once, or I'll call someone."
The moment the words left her mouth, Bibi Dong herself was somewhat surprised. In the past, if an unfamiliar man had broken into her room, she would have attacked immediately.
Yet now, she had actually chosen to let Ao Tian leave.
Ao Tian was in no hurry. Smiling, he said, "My name is Ao Tian. When danger comes, just call my name, and I will appear at your side."
After saying that, his figure vanished directly.
Bibi Dong froze for a moment, then climbed down from the bed.
She stood where Ao Tian had just been, her pretty face filled with confusion.
"Was that a Teleportation Soul Skill? But why was there no Soul Power fluctuation from him? And he did not even release a Martial Soul or Soul Ring, so how could he use a Soul Skill?"
Bibi Dong could not make sense of it. How could such a large person simply disappear?
Suddenly, her smooth, elegant nose twitched, and she could not help taking a deep breath.
An unfamiliar fragrance entered her nostrils. Her mind jolted awake, and her whole body felt as though it were floating among the clouds.
At that moment, she forgot all her troubles, forgot the despicable and filthy Yu Xiaogang, and felt only happiness in her heart.
Several minutes later, she finally came back to her senses.
"This is that man's scent. Pah, pah, pah..."
Bibi Dong kept spitting and stamping her feet, while two crimson clouds involuntarily rose on her pretty face.
But soon, she could not resist taking another deep breath.
"It smells so good," she murmured. Ao Tian's peerless face flashed through her mind, and her pretty face reddened even more.
"What a strange man..."
Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then quickly walked to the door and opened it. She looked around but did not see Ao Tian anywhere, and a faint sense of disappointment unexpectedly arose in her heart.
"What is wrong with me?" Bibi Dong vigorously rubbed her still-warm cheeks with both hands.
After Ao Tian's interruption, much of the sorrow in Bibi Dong's heart had been washed away.
But once things quieted down, Bibi Dong could not help recalling how Yu Xiaogang had tried to violate her earlier.
That greedy gaze, as though he wanted to strip her bare, sent chills through her heart.
"Your Highness the Saintess!" Yu Xiaogang's anxious shout came from outside.
Bibi Dong looked up and saw Yu Xiaogang being stopped outside the palace where she lived.
With Yu Xiaogang's status, he was unable to enter this place.
"Throw him out!" Bibi Dong said coldly.
Her heart ached somewhat, but she still hardened herself and ordered the Hall Guardian Knights to drive Yu Xiaogang away.
Inside the finest Restaurant in Spirit City, in a luxurious Private Room, Ao Tian was wolfing down meat and drinking wine, his face full of enjoyment.
Ever since crossing over, he had never again tasted the pleasures of fine food.
He still retained the appearance of a Youth. This transformed form was not a real body and could be considered a divine ability, or merely a Dharma Body.
He reached down with an empty grasp, drawing up gold from deep underground.
Opening his palm, the gold rapidly changed shape and, moments later, formed more than a dozen Gold Soul Coins.
"Eating, drinking, and having fun—during a long Dragon Life, one should live freely and happily."
Ao Tian sighed. After being lonely for hundreds of millions of years, he had finally found a little enjoyment.
After eating, he wandered around Spirit City, causing severe congestion wherever he went.
Every woman who saw him reacted the same way. Maidens no longer acted reserved, while married women became exceptionally bold. All of them blushed and wanted to get acquainted with him.
Ao Tian had no choice but to tone down his handsomeness slightly so that he would not be quite so dazzling.
He wandered from afternoon until nightfall before returning to the hotel where he was staying, quietly waiting for Bibi Dong's cry for help.
According to information obtained from Qian Xunji's soul memories, Qian Xunji would use despicable means to possess Bibi Dong tonight.
Ao Tian naturally would not stand by and watch such a tragedy unfold.
Night fell, and Ao Tian, who had been lightly dozing, opened his eyes.
He had already sensed that Bibi Dong had been summoned to the Secret Chamber by Qian Xunji.
The Secret Chamber was beneath Qian Xunji's room, where he usually secluded himself to cultivate.
This was not Bibi Dong's first time here. She asked doubtfully, "Teacher, why have you brought me here so late? Is there something you need?"
Qian Xunji revealed a benevolent smile, deeply concealing the greed in his eyes.
"I heard Yu Xiaogang bullied you today?" he asked.
Bibi Dong nodded, then shook her head.
Qian Xunji sighed. "Do you like Yu Xiaogang?"
Bibi Dong shook her head and said firmly, "I don't like him."
Qian Xunji was taken aback. He had summoned Bibi Dong tonight for two reasons.
One was to make Bibi Dong leave Yu Xiaogang, and the other was to obtain Bibi Dong.
Qian Xunji smiled. "Since you do not like him, that makes things easy. Tomorrow, I will have someone drive him out of Spirit City and remove his name from Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong fell silent for a few seconds before slowly nodding.
She had become thoroughly disappointed in Yu Xiaogang and no longer wished to see that filthy-minded man.
What did his talent matter? She felt only disgust.
Bibi Dong looked somewhat despondent. "Teacher, if there is nothing else, I will return and continue cultivating."
"Don't leave yet. Teacher has some heartfelt words to share with you."
Qian Xunji's gaze fell upon Bibi Dong's youthful and enchanting body, gradually growing heated.
Bibi Dong had experienced this sort of look far too often since childhood, so she immediately noticed that something was wrong.
"Dong'er, you are not so young anymore. It is time to find yourself a man."
Qian Xunji had no reservations, his gaze openly fixed on the youthful and beautiful Bibi Dong before him.
He stepped closer, took a deep breath, and wore a perverted expression of enjoyment. The body fragrance of this beautiful disciple fascinated him beyond measure, like a catalyst that instantly ignited the lust in his heart.
"Teacher... what do you mean?" Bibi Dong's heartbeat gradually quickened, and she could not help taking several steps back.
Qian Xunji pressed closer. "Teacher raised you for so many years and taught you how to cultivate. Have you never thought about how you should repay Teacher?"
"Teacher, what exactly are you trying to say?"
Seeing Qian Xunji's increasingly sinister expression, Bibi Dong could not help feeling afraid.
Qian Xunji licked his lips. "Dong'er, you are so perfect. Only Teacher is worthy of you. I want you to become my woman and bear my children."
Bibi Dong's Beautiful Eyes suddenly widened, and she was utterly shocked.
Qian Xunji's greedy smile slowly widened. With one step, he arrived behind Bibi Dong, chopping his hand toward the back of her neck.
