Bibi Dong recalled her first meeting with Yu Xiaogang, then their subsequent interactions. Her gaze shifted for an instant before she quickly suppressed it.

"Nothing seems wrong."

"You stupid woman." Lexi gave Bibi Dong's chest a vicious pinch. "If there really isn't anything wrong, that's the biggest problem!"

"He's nothing but trash. How could he have met you by such a coincidence? It was obviously planned."

"And does the Pope know about the two of you?"

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment. "Probably... not?"

"I suggest you give up on this unrealistic fantasy as soon as possible. Focus on cultivating, and don't let that trash muddle your head." Lexi tried her best to persuade her calmly.

Even she, a bystander who had only heard the account, could see the problem. She refused to believe the Pope had failed to notice it.

She just did not know when her best friend would finally wake up!

"Ah, enough of that. I'm taking Xiaogang with me. I'll come see you again tomorrow morning." Bibi Dong immediately got up and headed outside, taking the still-unconscious Yu Xiaogang with her.

On the streets, people flowed back and forth. Though a chilly breeze drifted through the air, Bibi Dong did not feel cold as she silently carried Yu Xiaogang on her back toward a street corner.

As Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, she normally had few expenses. She had nowhere to spend the Gold Soul Coins she had saved, so whenever she spotted a decent residence while shopping, she simply bought it.

She inserted the key and unlocked the front door.

The courtyard was kept immaculate, with hardly any dead leaves or weeds. The lawn was neatly trimmed.

She pushed open the door. The furnishings inside were all quite new.

Although no one lived here year-round, people still came every day to clean it.

Carrying Yu Xiaogang upstairs, Bibi Dong turned the doorknob, laid him on the bed, and tucked him beneath the blankets.

Less than fifteen minutes later, a letter was delivered intact to Qian Xunji.

When Qian Xunji opened the envelope and read it, he immediately discovered what it said. He casually crumpled the letter into a ball and threw it onto the floor. "It seems Dong'er still doesn't trust me very much."

"Big Brother, what happened?"

Qian Chenzhou, who had been cultivating, opened his eyes. Seeing the crumpled letter on the floor and hearing Bibi Dong mentioned, he knew it concerned his good brother, Yu Xiaogang.

"Dong'er carried Yu Xiaogang to Lexi Clinic in Spirit City to have Lexi treat him."

"That's not all, is it?" Qian Chenzhou asked.

He vaguely remembered that Bibi Dong had also bought a residence in the city. Although she rarely stayed there, Bibi Dong did not trust Spirit Hall at all right now, so she would most likely settle Yu Xiaogang there.

"Yes." Qian Xunji nodded. "She also placed that trash in the house she bought."

"Alright, Big Brother. I'm heading out."

Qian Chenzhou rose to his feet and walked outside.

"Where are you going so late?"

"Of course, to find Yu Xiaogang a nanny." Qian Chenzhou looked back at Qian Xunji with a faint smile, then waved his hand. "I'll be back soon."

"Ghost."

Ghost emerged from the shadows and dropped to one knee before Qian Xunji. "Your Holiness."

"Go follow my little brother."

"Yes!"

After leaving Pope Hall, Qian Chenzhou did not head directly to where Yu Xiaogang was. Instead, he went to the Wind and Moon Tavern.

When the madam at the entrance saw a three-year-old child arrive, she froze. But seeing his extraordinary clothes and the Soul Master behind him, who clearly did not look easy to provoke, she did not dare approach him.

In any case, this child was not one of their customers.

Just as she was thinking that, Qian Chenzhou walked toward her.

Perhaps he's only passing through.

As the madam thought this, the child stopped in front of her.

Ghost was stunned as well.

No, this three-year-old kid could come to a place like this?

His Hard Body probably was not even fully developed yet!

Qian Chenzhou took out a Gold Soul Coin and tossed it to the madam before walking inside. "Call over all the women here who are over eighteen and under thirty."

The madam's eyes glowed when she saw the Gold Soul Coin.

But the money was far too hot to handle, and she could not help glancing at the intimidating Ghost.

"Go. Do as he says."

"Right away!"

In less than twenty minutes, the room was filled with women. When they arrived and saw the three-year-old child seated on a chair, they were stunned as well.

They had only heard that the visitor was generous with money and thought they would surely make a fortune today. They had not expected him to be such an immature little child.

"Young master, these are all the women we have."

The madam was about to introduce them to Qian Chenzhou. Her mouth had already opened, but before she could speak, Qian Chenzhou raised a hand to stop her and pointed directly at a woman in the back row.

That woman was considered among the least attractive of everyone present, but outside, she would still be regarded as fairly pleasant-looking.

"Her."

The others dispersed as soon as they saw he had made his choice.

After all, serving a child like this was too difficult. The guard standing behind him clearly looked like someone they could not afford to offend. It would only be a waste of time and energy.

The woman who had been pointed out froze, but her professional habits still made her smile. She slowly walked toward Qian Chenzhou, crouched down, and looked at the child before her.

"What would the young master like to play?"

"I want to buy her freedom."

When those words fell, even Ghost, a Titled Douluo, could not help widening his eyes. He had no idea what Qian Chenzhou was thinking, but his task this time was only to protect him.

As for whether this little fellow truly wanted to go further with the woman and explore the depths, Ghost would stop him as well.

Otherwise, he would go back with broken legs!

"Easy, easy."

The madam's eyes shone so brightly they might have emitted light. She rubbed her hands together frantically.

Anyone who could use a Gold Soul Coin as an entrance fee surely was not short on money. And as it happened, the madam was desperately short on money!

Just as she was about to name an outrageous price, she felt a powerful pressure lock onto her. The smile on her face instantly froze before gradually turning into terror.

"No money needed. Just take her."

"I'm not someone who bullies others with power." Qian Chenzhou took a small bag from his Storage Soul Tool, containing roughly twenty Gold Soul Coins, and tossed it to the madam. Then he beckoned to the woman. "Let's go."

The woman was still somewhat dazed as she followed him out numbly.

Qian Chenzhou did not waste any time. He entered a shopping district, picked out two suitable outfits for her, paid for them, and told her to throw away her original clothes.

The woman's mind had yet to process it all, but inwardly, she was ecstatic.

She had flown up a branch and become a phoenix!
