Bibi Dong in the Secret Chamber (Please Bookmark!)

At the entrance to the cafeteria.

Xiao Wu stopped in her tracks, turned around, and glared at the three of them in displeasure.

"You're treating, no objections, right?"

Her voice clearly carried a note of unhappiness. Apparently, failing to get any Gold Soul Coins earlier had left her rather upset.

"Uh, well..."

The three looked at one another, immediately growing a little awkward. After discussing it amongst themselves for a while,

they each took out their own little stash of money.

After comparing them,

they finally pushed one victim forward. It was A Fen, the one who had been holding the protection money earlier. He was also the richest of the three.

"Fine, Sister Xiao Wu. I'll pay for this meal."

Although the others had pushed him out to be the sucker, A Fen merely shrugged and did not complain much.

After all, the three of them were good brothers. Otherwise, they would not have come together to find a boss. They had grown up wearing the same pair of pants, so this was nothing.

What mattered now was cheering up Sister Xiao Wu.

"Alright, let's go!"

"Today, I'm going to fleece you guys good! Who told you to put that uncle ahead of me..."

Watching Xiao Wu stride into the cafeteria without a care,

the three behind her merely exchanged smiles before following her inside one after another.

[Fox Eyes: Bastard! Let my teacher go!]

[Jade Not Jade: Little girl, aren't you tired from shouting for so long? The whole group chat is flooded with your messages. I'm tired just looking at them.]

[Big Goose: You can't blame her for that. For her teacher's sake, she even disregarded her own identity. Yet that uncle still stayed silent and refused to reply.]

[White as Snow: This feels strange somehow. Hard to judge. "Silence."]

The Crown Prince's residence.

"Your Highness, will you be going to the auction house today?"

"No. Push it back for now."

Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe and about to head out, was arranging the day's schedule with her steward. From time to time, her gaze drifted toward the activity in the group chat.

She handled several tasks at once with ease.

As for Bibi Dong being taken away, her feelings were truly complicated.

Though she was somewhat worried for her mother, deep down, she also felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. It was rather strange...

But the die had already been cast.

There was no use thinking about all that nonsense anymore. She would just wait and see how that uncle in the group handled things.

If he really did something to her mother...

then, as her daughter, she could only help teach him a lesson the next time she found him.

Meanwhile.

Inside the secret chamber.

"Refreshing!"

After straightening his clothes, Du Bei stretched his limbs with the glow of spring on his face. Never before had he felt as relaxed as he did today!

As for behind him.

"B-Bastard..."

That voice was so weak that she had clearly suffered a double blow to both mind and body!

Turning back,

he saw Bibi Dong rise to her feet with a frosty expression.

Yet she made no further move. The flawless Pope Bibi Dong merely stood there with her scepter, looking somewhat weak in the face but otherwise unchanged.

"Alright, stop provoking me."

"You've already seen what happened when you provoked me just now. If you want to do it again next time, I don't mind."

As he finished speaking, Du Bei even whistled.

It was only a tease, though. He was currently in the strongest sage mode in the world, completely free of any fluctuations.

He was merely joking around.

Faced with such an intensely insulting gesture, Bibi Dong flew into a rage and, without a second thought, staggered forward and fiercely swung her scepter at Du Bei.

Unfortunately, with all her soul power sealed, Bibi Dong's strike was feeble.

It was not even as powerful as a child wielding a stick.

Seeing this, Du Bei took a sliding step to Bibi Dong's side and gently grasped the hand holding her scepter.

Then he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace.

"Alright, my Dong, stop forcing yourself."

"At worst, I just won't tell anyone about this. After all, what happened in the secret chamber is known by Heaven, Earth, you, and me." As he finished speaking, Du Bei raised his brows.

Every bit the man.

"You! You!" Bibi Dong was enraged by the sight. Her fingers clutched fiercely at Du Bei's collar, her teeth grinding audibly.

"You bastard, you still dare say that!"

"What's there not to dare?"

As he spoke, he reached over and took the hand Bibi Dong was using to hold her scepter, intimately placing it against her chest as though he were holding a husky.

He firmly pinned both her hands in place, not allowing her to make any reckless movements.

"And one more thing—if you keep threatening me like this, I really won't let you go back~"

"What!"

Bibi Dong, tightly restrained, clearly did not understand what he meant at first.

"Don't you want to return to Spirit Hall?"

"Or are you planning to stay in this secret chamber forever? That wouldn't be impossible, but I'm afraid you'd have to work rather hard." Du Bei explained once more.

After carefully mulling over his words,

Bibi Dong stared at Du Bei's face in uncertainty.

"Y-You mean you're willing to let me go back?" Even Bibi Dong herself found it hard to believe as she said it.

After all, she had been hunting Du Bei before. How could anyone simply bully her once and then let her go afterward?

No normal person would do such a thing.

In response to Bibi Dong's question, Du Bei calmly released her.

"That's right. I'm planning to let you go back."

"What? You don't want to?"

He lightly wiped at Bibi Dong's lips, his tone brimming with intimacy, as though he were her husband wiping her cheek.

Yet in the face of such an intimate gesture,

Bibi Dong unusually did not resist this time. She merely stood still with her purple-gold scepter, calmly watching the man before her.

"Are you really willing to let me leave?"

"That's right. Aren't you happy?" Du Bei smiled at her without the slightest hesitation.

After a long while, Bibi Dong realized that he was not joking.

She still took a deep breath.

"Fine!"

"As long as you're willing to let me leave, I'll revoke Spirit Hall's wanted order for you. How about it?"

Though that was what she said, it was not what she thought.

If he dared let Bibi Dong leave, then this man, whom she had committed to memory, would face the full fury of Spirit Hall!

At worst, she would go beg that group in the Consecration Hall.

Seeing Bibi Dong act as though she would let bygones be bygones, Du Bei, who understood her character perfectly well, naturally did not believe her words.

"Heh, that would be for the best."

"But before you go, I still want to give you a gift. After all, we met by fate."

Then, before Bibi Dong's eyes, a golden necklace suddenly appeared in the man's hand.

A golden necklace suddenly appeared in the man's hand. Its extravagant adornments made it look incomparably precious.

"No need..."

Before Bibi Dong could refuse, Du Bei forcibly placed the splendid necklace around her pale neck.

"You!"
