Disappointed Bibi Dong

The next second, darkness filled Qian Chenzhou's vision. He instinctively shut his eyes and could clearly feel a pair of rough, large hands covering them.

There was no need to think about it—it had to be Golden Crocodile.

"You're still too young to see this."

Golden Crocodile's voice carried a trace of anger, and the way he looked at Yu Xiaogang was no different from looking at a dead man.

Creak! Creak!

With his vision blocked, Qian Chenzhou focused all his spiritual power on his ears and clearly heard the sound of fists clenching beside him.

Though he could not see it, Qian Chenzhou could still imagine that Bibi Dong's fists had surely gone white from how tightly she was gripping them.

More than a minute passed before the large hand blocking his eyes was removed.

Yu Xiaogang lay sprawled across the bed, his chest heaving violently. He was clearly exhausted, and the bags beneath his eyes were still obvious.

Rong'er had one hand resting on Yu Xiaogang's chest, her head leaning against his shoulder. She did not meet his eyes, merely lowered her head, dissatisfaction showing at the corners of her mouth.

"Brother Gang, let Rong'er rest with you."

As though he had heard some terrible beast, Yu Xiaogang's body trembled slightly. He gently patted Rong'er's head. "Leave first. I still need to wait for Dong'er to come back."

Seeing Yu Xiaogang like this from outside the window, Bibi Dong felt her stomach churn with revulsion. She was utterly disgusted.

He did such filthy things with a woman like that, yet still wanted to run away with her. He was nothing but a beast!

Qian Chenzhou noticed the disgust and contempt on Bibi Dong's face. "Your Xiaogang has finished his business now. You're right outside the window—aren't you going in to comfort your Brother Xiaogang?"

"No need. Let's go." Bibi Dong's face was dark.

She had already prepared herself for this long ago.

After all, she had personally experienced it. She had also taken in the woman Qian Chenzhou had sent over and had her attend to Yu Xiaogang's daily needs.

She had long expected this outcome.

But she had never expected Yu Xiaogang to be so hypocritical.

Everything she had done for him was simply a joke!

"You really aren't going?"

"I'm not!"

Bibi Dong looked at Qian Chenzhou with particular venom, and she hated him deeply as well.

Because Qian Chenzhou had personally shattered her fantasies and forced her to see such a vile side of Yu Xiaogang, causing her immense pain!

"Then let's go back."

The five of them silently headed toward Pope Hall.

Inside Pope Hall.

Qian Xunji looked at Bibi Dong's gloomy expression after the journey back. He was delighted inside, but he still had to maintain his dignity as her teacher.

"Dong'er, you may go back and rest now." Qian Xunji waved a hand, dismissing Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong had just turned around when she heard Qian Chenzhou's voice.

"Oh, right. Your Brother Xiaogang is still in that room. I don't want you disturbing their lives. I've placed watchers around the area, so remember—don't test me."

Bibi Dong ignored Qian Chenzhou entirely. Her fists clenched as she left in silence.

Only after Bibi Dong had left and Golden Crocodile could no longer sense her presence did he speak. "Chenzhou, if what happened today had not turned out as you expected, would you truly have let Bibi Dong go?"

Upon hearing Golden Crocodile Douluo's words, Qian Xunji could not help looking toward his little brother as well.

He would never allow a Twin Martial Souls genius like Bibi Dong to leave Spirit Hall. Even if he had to keep her by force, he would make her stay.

With her talent and the Qian Clan's martial soul, she could definitely produce another gifted descendant!

Qian Chenzhou nodded. "Naturally, I will keep my word."

Qian Xunji had just wanted to remind his little brother of something when Qian Chenzhou suddenly changed the subject and looked toward the hall doors.

"She can leave if she wants, but only after her martial souls are crippled and her soul power is destroyed."

"Doesn't she want to elope with that worthless Yu Xiaogang?"

Qian Chenzhou clasped his hands behind his back and walked step by step toward the doors, his voice echoing through the silent air.

"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan will naturally have to pay back the resources Spirit Hall spent raising her. Even if she becomes useless, Yu Xiaogang is the one taking her back, so the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan must pay!"

"If that old dragon Yu Yuanzhen refuses, we will have an excuse to take down the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. After that, the resources in their treasury will still belong to Spirit Hall!"

The doors opened, and Qian Chenzhou's figure slowly vanished into the night.

Having heard every part of the plan, Golden Crocodile could not help sighing. "Though Chenzhou is young, his mind is meticulous. Not bad. Spirit Hall has hope of unifying the continent in the future."

As he spoke, Golden Crocodile could not help turning to glance at Qian Xunji. "Ji'er, though you're the older brother, you should learn from Chenzhou in such matters."

Qian Xunji, who had been feeling somewhat expectant, could not help awkwardly rubbing his nose at Golden Crocodile Douluo's words.

He was many years older than Qian Chenzhou.

But judging by today, he truly seemed somewhat inferior to his little brother.

At the very least, his grasp of the bigger picture was not as good!

"Uncle Golden Crocodile, I..."

"Enough. No need to say more." Golden Crocodile clasped his hands behind his back and headed toward Offering Hall. "This is a matter between you brothers. This old man won't meddle."

Qian Xunji sat upon the Pope's throne, shook his head with a bitter smile, and continued reviewing documents.

Inside the palace.

The moment Qian Chenzhou entered, the maid pulled him straight into her embrace. That face-washing treatment nearly overwhelmed him.

After all, he had the soul of an adult. He was not truly a child of barely four!

"Young Master, it's time to rest."

The maid carried Qian Chenzhou toward the bedroom, holding him tightly against her chest and giving him no chance to resist.

The maid gently patted Qian Chenzhou's back.

Though he had an adult's soul, his body was still that of a child barely four years old. Under those rhythmic pats, drowsiness soon washed over him.

The sun rose in the east, and morning rays streamed through the window.

On the soft velvet bed, the maid was getting dressed. Qian Chenzhou rubbed his eyes and looked at the snowy sight before him, unable to stop himself from swallowing.

What a pity. His Hard Body was slowing his progress.

With the maid attending to him, Qian Chenzhou got dressed and ate breakfast.

It had to be said that fifteen-hundred-year Whale Glue paired with thousand-year soul beast meat was already an excellent tonic for his current body, and its effects on training his physique were extremely good!

He practiced swordsmanship in the morning.

Qian Chenzhou had nothing to do in the afternoon, so he sat cross-legged and began meditating to cultivate his soul power.

He estimated that he had already reached level nine. At the very least, even Innate Full Soul Power required awakening the Human Emperor Body to meet the standard.
