Bibi Dong Gave Up Everything!

While the people upstairs and downstairs were fooling around.

Spirit Hall.

Bathroom.

Feeling the icy water slide across her skin, Bibi Dong stood there in nothing but a thin veil, staring at the drain.

Her eyes looked as though her soul had left them.

"Just a toy...?"

Recalling the answer Magic Mirror had given her before, Bibi Dong still felt dazed even now. Those answers had sounded so harsh!

Like needles stabbing into her heart!

"Hehe... I never thought, never thought that was how he saw me. How laughable, me! I clearly thought... I clearly thought..."

Just as Bibi Dong was grieving alone.

A helpless voice suddenly sounded.

[Hey! What are you muttering about over there? Can you just bathe properly? Where are the beautiful pictures you promised?]

Then, a Magic Mirror came hopping over, circling around Bibi Dong again and again. Its front remained trained on Bibi Dong, recording her appearance.

Like a thoroughly dedicated photography enthusiast!

As Magic Mirror recorded, it looked at Bibi Dong's thin veil, now soaked through, and gave her a rare compliment!

[--(´•౪•`)--]

[So you bathe while wearing clothes. I don't understand it, but I'm very satisfied with this soaked-through effect! I'm sure Master will like it very much when the time comes~]

Faced with Magic Mirror's utterly uninhibited remarks.

Bibi Dong, surrounded from every angle without a single blind spot, showed no reaction at all and remained standing quietly.

Enduring the cold water striking her face.

Bibi Dong murmured,

"Whatever. I'm just a dispensable tool anyway..."

Faced with Bibi Dong's muttering.

Magic Mirror, busy with its photography work, completely ignored her. All it cared about now was taking good videos and photos, then giving Du Bei a surprise when it returned!

After Magic Mirror circled Bibi Dong once more, it was suddenly firmly pinned down by a hand!

Magic Mirror looked up.

It happened to meet Bibi Dong's lifeless eyes.

[--òᆺó--]

[What is it? Do you need something? If not, please let me go. I think I can still take a few more shots~]

Ignoring Magic Mirror's request to continue working.

A sudden madness appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes. Both hands gripped the edges of the mirror as she pressed her forehead against its surface!

She spoke as if crazed, yet also pleading!

"Tell me, Magic Mirror! Does that bastard Du Bei... really not have even the slightest feelings for me?"

"Tell me! Tell me!!!"

One hand weakly struck the mirror's surface, trying to make Magic Mirror give her an answer! Even if that answer was only a lie to deceive herself...

[--╮(•́ω•̀)╭--]

[Sorry, I can't give you an answer to that. I've already answered two of your questions. Besides, one of those questions was paid for with the photo rights to your past few days. Unless you can offer me compensation that satisfies me, I have nothing to say.]

That was right, Magic Mirror was materialistic too!

Even though Du Bei had vaguely said before that Bibi Dong could use it, his Magic Mirror, he had never specifically said how many times she could use it~

So it had assumed that, just like the previous times, she could ask one question for free!

As for the extra question.

That had been obtained when the still-unwilling Bibi Dong exchanged the rights to photograph her without any privacy for the past few days!

Magic Mirror would never take a loss.

Looking at Magic Mirror, which refused to answer no matter what.

Just as Bibi Dong wanted to ask something else, the effect of the golden necklace activated, calming her down once more.

Self-Oath: The self could not be influenced by any means.

This effect could only ensure that she would absolutely not be affected by external influences. If a problem arose within herself, however, it fell outside the effect's scope.

At most, it would calm her down once in a while.

It was similar to a Daoist calming incantation, except it only activated at intervals, and its effect was extremely brief—unless she could figure things out herself.

Just like now...

As though she had been given a sedative, Bibi Dong instantly calmed down, and all the irritation in her mind was swept away.

Though it would only last for a moment.

Within that brief moment, a flash of inspiration suddenly struck Bibi Dong's mind!

She thought of an idea!

"Magic Mirror! I'll use my current position and all the authority in my hands to exchange for my next question!"

"That is! How can I obtain..."

Faced with this question, even Magic Mirror froze for a moment, seemingly weighing the pros and cons.

Noticing this, Bibi Dong immediately raised the stakes! She threw the thin veil from her body at Magic Mirror...

Viewing mode activated instantly!

Magic Mirror could no longer be bothered with anything else. It knew Du Bei's preferences—this kind of scene could not be missed! It immediately began recording from every angle!

[--⊙ω⊙--]

[Why are you covering that part? That takes all the fun out of it! Believe it or not, I'll sue you for fraud?]

But Bibi Dong would not compromise so easily.

This was her final bargaining chip! How could she yield so easily? She had to make this Magic Mirror agree to her request!

Even if...

Magic Mirror seemed to sense Bibi Dong's determination as well.

[--ദ്ദി˶>𖥦<)✧--]

[Fine, fine, I'll agree. Isn't it just a small matter? Is this really necessary? But let me make this clear first: I won't answer anything related to Master's information!]

In any case, it did not matter if other matters were revealed. According to its calculations, it might even increase Master's... enthusiasm in that regard.

It was all benefits and no harm.

Seeing that Magic Mirror had finally agreed, Bibi Dong sat down on the floor at once, as though she had let out a sigh of relief.

"Since you agreed, that's good..."

"Then do as you please..."

"..."

Soto City!

In front of Rose Hotel!

Among the group that had just returned from Star Dou Great Forest was a peach-eyed young man with a face full of stubble.

He blinked and pointed at the building in the distance.

"Huh? Teacher! When did such an impressive building get constructed in front of Rose Hotel?"

"Could it be trying to steal Rose Hotel's business?"

The elderly man with a hooked nose, who had been asked the question, followed the finger of his academy student. When he saw the building, he merely shook his head.

"I don't know. It probably only opened recently?"

"It used to be just an unfinished shell, anyway. Why do you care so much? Don't tell me you want to stay there? If so, you pay for it yourself."

His words were utterly blunt.

He showed no tolerance for his student whatsoever, only stinginess toward his own money, like an iron rooster that only took in and never gave out!

"Alright, stop arguing over such a small matter. And Flander, don't be so stingy. Besides, it's not even your money being spent this time."

"With our Xiao San here, do you still need to pay? Isn't that right, Xiao San?"

The lame man patted the young man beside him, a smug smile spreading across his aged face.

As though he were the one paying.

Unfortunately, Tang San had no time to pay attention to this cheap teacher of his. His gaze was fixed on a window across from them!

Purple light flashed in his eyes—he had used his secret technique, Purple Demon Eyes!

"That direction... is Xiao Wu?"

"But why is she pressed against the window? And what is that behind the curtain behind her? Why..."
