I Really Deserve to Die!

"Dong'er..."

"Xiao Gang."

At that moment, Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong gazed deeply into each other's eyes as they called out to one another, as though there was no one else in their sight.

Seeing this, Qian Mo's eyelids twitched wildly.

And Qian Mo was certain that after his smooth little combo just now, even if Bibi Dong did not come to despise Yu Xiaogang because of it, there should at least have been some distance between them.

Yet now, looking at the two of them exchanging those tender, almost syrupy gazes—

Qian Mo was certain there was absolutely something wrong with Bibi Dong! Otherwise, why would she act as though she had been cursed, like Yu Xiaogang was the only one for her?!

Although one of the top ten unsolved mysteries of the novel world—why Bibi Dong fell in love with Yu Xiaogang—had now been answered—

Qian Mo was not happy in the slightest.

Because this completely confirmed that if he wanted to save Martial Soul Hall, he might have to directly contend with the schemes of a god. The pressure was truly immense.

But that was all.

Because Qian Mo still had a trump card hidden away.

If things truly reached the point of no return, Qian Mo would not mind getting creative with the Holy Grail. Although that cheat 9527 had given it to him, and the Holy Grail itself had enormous limitations—

This was Douluo Continent.

The famous bottom rung of fantasy worlds, a world where gods could be killed by mere hidden weapons.

And it was precisely because he had that confidence that although Qian Mo was screaming curses internally after his mentality had utterly collapsed, he still maintained basic composure on the surface.

He even decided to play his role to the end, making himself appear more natural.

Watching the pair look as though they were deeply in love, Qian Mo even frowned in displeasure and said,

"Your Holiness, please mind your status. Although the position of Saintess does not forbid marriage, your other half absolutely should not be such a shallow and unlearned person."

The instant those words came out, it was as though he had touched Bibi Dong's reverse scale.

Bibi Dong discarded her earlier gentleness and suddenly clenched Yu Xiaogang's right hand.

She used so much force that Yu Xiaogang's expression twisted in pain.

Seeing this, together with Qian Mo's words, the surrounding onlookers immediately looked at Yu Xiaogang with hostility, because everyone present also believed that Yu Xiaogang was absolutely unworthy of their Saintess.

As for the astonishing strength Bibi Dong displayed, no one paid it any attention.

Because when soul masters absorbed soul rings, they did not merely gain another soul skill. Their bodies, spirits, and every other aspect were strengthened as well.

And Bibi Dong's Soul Emperor-level physique was already enough to rival a ten-thousand-year soul beast.

Was it not perfectly normal for Yu Xiaogang, a delicate pretty boy who could not even defeat a hundred-year soul beast, to be hurt when Bibi Dong unconsciously exerted force?

Some people with especially filthy minds even thought,

If Bibi Dong really married Yu Xiaogang, would he not get his pelvis crushed to pieces and die the moment their Saintess sat on him~

Ahahaha~ now that would be entertaining~

Yet Yu Xiaogang did not even dare cry out in pain at that moment, afraid that he would leave a bad impression on Bibi Dong.

Seeing this, Qian Mo could not help but praise Yu Xiaogang's sheer toughness. His bones were practically about to be crushed.

And he could still endure it. As expected of you, Yu Xiaogang. Though you were useless in every other regard—

When it came to stubbornly keeping your mouth shut, I admit you were the strongest!

As for all this, the thick-skinned Bibi Dong had not noticed it at all. Instead, she said indignantly,

"Enough! Who are you to tell me what to do?!

"And another thing! I will not allow you to talk about Xiao Gang like that. Do you know how hard he works?!

"Besides, even if Xiao Gang's theories have some problems—

"So what?!

"Who did not start out as a beginner? Is it not normal to have problems? As long as you recognize your mistakes and correct them, is that not enough? Why do you insist on holding this against Xiao Gang?!

"If Xiao Gang's martial soul had not undergone a malignant mutation, his achievements definitely would not be any worse than yours. So stop flaunting your superiority in front of me!

"If you were in the same circumstances as Yu Xiaogang, you definitely would not be as good as him!

"I now order you in the name of the Saintess!

"Leave. I do not want to see you again!"

Silence was tonight's Cambridge.

Qian Mo looked at Bibi Dong speechlessly, then pointed at the feather-like ear appendages on his own head.

Malignant martial soul mutation—who had not gone through that?

But seeing the clear confusion and bewilderment in Bibi Dong's eyes—

Qian Mo sighed again.

Hah, I forgot this girl was an academic failure. Explaining anything to her would be pointless.

However, Bibi Dong's final remarks about how he would fare if he were in Yu Xiaogang's circumstances did set Qian Mo's imagination running wild.

The backing of one of the Upper Three Sects, a Title Douluo-level patron—starting with such a hand, even if his innate soul power were only half a level and his martial soul were Luo Sanpao—

Qian Mo would have been willing!

Unfortunately, reality had no ifs.

Qian Mo shook his head slightly, pulling himself from his tangled thoughts. He gave Bibi Dong a helpless glance, then said quietly,

"Since that is the case, I shall take my leave."

However, at the very last moment before turning away, Qian Mo still tried to struggle once more.

"Your Holiness, love is indeed free, but please remember your identity and your position.

"Traitors, no matter which force they belong to on Douluo Continent, will not meet a good end."

With that, Qian Mo left directly.

But Qian Mo's final words, practically an open declaration, truly infuriated Bibi Dong.

Betraying Martial Soul Hall and all that—

How could she, Bibi Dong, ever do such a thing!

Yet it would have been better if Qian Mo had not mentioned it. By exposing that unspoken issue beforehand, Bibi Dong could not help but think more deeply about it.

She glanced at Yu Xiaogang, then hurriedly looked away. At the same time, she inconspicuously withdrew her hand in guilty embarrassment as she muttered to herself,

"Apparently, someone of my status should not be allowed to marry out.

"But given Xiao Gang's standing in his family, it should be fine if he marries into mine, right? That definitely would not count as betraying Martial Soul Hall."

At the same time, Bibi Dong's petty, grudge-holding nature flared up.

He had dared mock her beloved right to her face, and mock her as well. This person absolutely could not be spared!

But after her subordinates brought over the information, Bibi Dong fell silent.

A malignant martial soul mutation had caused a high-quality Angel Martial Soul to awaken with only innate third-level soul power, and he also liked studying academic matters...

There were too many overlapping elements. Bibi Dong felt an odd sense of déjà vu.

In the final section, Qian Mo's parents were both dead.

Bibi Dong fell completely silent, even wanting to slap herself twice.

What had I even said back then?! I really deserve to die!

In the end, driven by guilt, Bibi Dong gave up on her little revenge scheme.

But Bibi Dong still did not realize that she was gradually walking toward the abyss.

Because her teacher was not stopping her from marrying another merely because of the difference in their factions.

Time flew by, and three years passed in the blink of an eye.

During that time, Bibi Dong disappeared for roughly a year. No one in the entire Martial Soul Hall saw any trace of her.

However, Qian Mo guessed that the Sealed Chamber Douluo had made his move.

But Qian Mo felt no ripples in his heart over it.

Besides, Qian Mo had already interfered wherever he could. If Bibi Dong insisted on courting death herself, who could she blame?

And although Qian Xunji was wrong to be a rapist, was Bibi Dong—who had no awareness whatsoever of the overall interests of the Martial Soul Hall that had raised her—truly innocent?
