The Soft Bone Rabbit Cannot Be Killed

"So you deliberately waited for me just to use these beasts to threaten me?" Bibi Dong said stubbornly.

"That's not what I mean, Dong'er. What I mean is that these four soul beasts are involved in—"

"What are they involved in?"

Yu Xiaogang immediately clammed up. Could I say that among those four soul beasts, one is my disciple's future wife, one is my disciple's mother-in-law, and the remaining two are soul beasts my beloved disciple has already claimed for the future? If you touch any one of those four soul beasts, then in the future I'll have to choose between my beloved disciple and my lover.

On one side was the beloved disciple who could make me famous and change my fate of never breaking through level 29. On the other was the lover who could take me to the God Realm. Why should I have to choose? Couldn't I have both?

Resentment toward Bibi Dong immediately arose in Gangzi's heart. Don't you already have a Hundred-Thousand-Year Death Spider Emperor? How can you be so selfish? Can't you give a little? You won't even yield a single Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, yet you still have the nerve to say you love me!

"Or are you planning to save those four Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts for someone else?" Bibi Dong pressed.

Unable to defend himself, Yu Xiaogang could only say, "Dong'er, I'm doing this for your sake, for our future. There are reasons I can't explain right now, but don't touch those four soul beasts. We still have a wonderful future ahead of us. Over the next few years, I'll also keep an eye out for news of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and make it up to you properly."

Bibi Dong's expression darkened, but she finally nodded. "If this is what you ask of me, then I agree."

Watching the Spirit Hall convoy disappear into the distance, Yu Xiaogang let out a breath of relief. At last, a great weight had been lifted from his heart.

As long as Xiao Wu's mother did not die, Bibi Dong would not be Tang San's enemy.

After taking Tang San as his disciple, he could mediate the relationship between Bibi Dong and Tang San. In this life, the Angel Clan would be his only remaining enemy.

Even if Tang San still ended up being an unfilial, rebellious disciple in this life, he would still have Bibi Dong, the Rakshasa God, as a second safeguard for ascending to the God Realm.

A heavy hand landed on Yu Xiaogang's shoulder. A decadent voice, like something from hell itself, whispered in his ear. "Yo, what are you thinking about? You look so happy. Were you thinking about me?"

Yu Xiaogang's body stiffened. He mechanically turned his head, only to see a man standing behind him who was a full two heads taller, with a burly frame and bulging muscles. Yu Xiaogang was only as tall as the man's massive pectorals.

He did not have Scar's ferocity, but he was still just as vicious-looking, and even more burly and muscular.

"D-Dragon Brother!"

"Long time no see. I'm impressed you still remember me." Dragon Brother licked his lips and looked at Yu Xiaogang lewdly as he spoke, squeezing Yu Xiaogang's narrow shoulder with one hand.

Yu Xiaogang tried to break free, but Dragon Brother held him firmly in place.

Thinking of Dragon Brother's background, Yu Xiaogang hurriedly warned him, "Y-you, what do you want? I belong to the Holy Maiden. Aren't you afraid—"

"Our Ginseng Fruit has grown wings, and it's gotten hard too. You actually dare use the Holy Maiden to threaten me?" Dragon Brother chuckled strangely. "Yu Xiaogang, you shady bastard, you dared approach the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall. Have you come to abduct our Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden again? I'll have to investigate you thoroughly and see what improper motives you have!"

As he spoke, Dragon Brother dragged Yu Xiaogang into the nearby woods.

"No—" Yu Xiaogang reached toward the direction Bibi Dong had gone, crying out hoarsely, "Save me! Don't—"

Then Dragon Brother dragged him into the woods for a rigorous and productive investigation.

On the way back, Bibi Dong felt warmth rise in her heart whenever she thought of Yu Xiaogang.

Although Gangzi's acting was terribly clumsy and his ulterior motives were obvious to anyone with eyes, the filter of love was simply too powerful.

Bibi Dong had indeed set her sights on the four soul beasts at the Lake of Life, but after Yu Xiaogang's warning, she could only abandon that thought.

No matter what you become, I will love you! Bibi Dong automatically interpreted Little Vat's words as, Even if your body is no longer pure, even if you already have children, I will still love you. Her heart immediately filled with sweetness.

"Little Vat, just wait. It won't be long before I kill Qian Xunji and destroy the Angel Clan. By then, no one in this world will be able to stop us from being together. No one." Bibi Dong silently swore.

As Bibi Dong dreamed of her wonderful future with Little Vat, she had no idea that her lover, Yu Xiaogang, was intermittently letting out miserable screams of "Ahhh, ahhh, ahhh—" while undergoing Dragon Brother's investigation in the woods.

Yet she remained completely unaware, like an incompetent partner.

Bibi Dong returned to Spirit City. The instant she saw Qian Xunji, killing intent spilled uncontrollably from her eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.

Qian Xunji caught that sight, but after so many years, he no longer cared.

Ghost Douluo reported what had happened on the road with Yu Xiaogang.

A vein immediately popped out on Qian Xunji's forehead.

He said angrily, "That damned Lung Mist really is impossible to get rid of..."

"Your Holiness, shall I?" Elder Golden Bell made a throat-slitting gesture.

"If handling matters were as easy as you make it sound, that would be great." Qian Xunji shot Golden Bell Douluo a look. "Right now, that Lung Mist is Bibi Dong's weakness. I am using that weakness to keep Bibi Dong in Spirit Hall by force."

"But that also restricts me in turn." Qian Xunji looked at Golden Bell Douluo and said, "If we kill Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong will completely lose control. Even if Spirit Hall is capable of suppressing an out-of-control Bibi Dong, all the resources Spirit Hall has invested in the Holy Maiden over these years will go down the drain."

Qian Xunji looked deeply at the four elders below and said, "You should all know that I, Qian Xunji, hate wasting things the most. I always eat every grain of rice in my bowl clean. I want Bibi Dong's body, and I want her heart as well."

"This..." Golden Bell was dumbfounded.

"Killing Yu Xiaogang is possible, but there is one prerequisite: Bibi Dong must completely give up on him." Qian Xunji asked, "Do you have any good ideas?"

Golden Bell Douluo's eyes rolled as he said, "Your Holiness, I do have an idea. Yu Xiaogang is, in the end, merely a level 29 Lung Mist. What can he give the Holy Maiden? He can provide nothing. But Your Holiness, you can give the Holy Maiden status, power, even the Soul Rings and Soul Bones she wants. You can provide all of it. Compared to you, that Lung Mist is nothing."

"You only need to promise the Holy Maiden that when she becomes a Title Douluo, you will provide her with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. Surely no one in this world can resist a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring. No one!"

"Once the Holy Maiden accepts the gift from His Holiness of the Papal Hall, she will certainly be grateful and fall deeply in love with you."

Qian Xunji stroked his chin. "You have a point."
