Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's expression was rather strange.
Bibi Dong, the Spirit Hall's Pope, could be said to be the most honored person on the continent. Yet because of a single sentence from Lu Xuan on the Sky Screen, she had instantly been thrust into the spotlight and become the subject of everyone's discussion.
Tsk.
It had to be said, this Supreme Douluo truly possessed the fiery spirit of youth.
"Uncle Sword, take a guess. What do you think the Spirit Hall Pope is feeling right now?"
Sword Douluo could not help but chuckle as well.
He said with a smile,
"Fengzhi, you've asked the wrong person."
"You should ask the Pope herself."
After giving it some thought, Ning Fengzhi shuddered and laughed awkwardly.
"Forget it."
"I'm not a Supreme Douluo. I wouldn't dare tug the tiger's tail."
And she was a tigress that could eat people!
Sea God Island.
A flicker of surprise passed through Bo Saixi's beautiful eyes.
Though they existed in different timeframes, that did not prevent her from admiring the Supreme Douluo. She simply had not expected Lu Xuan to care so much about Bibi Dong.
"So this was why you fought Qian Daoliu?"
"Whoever stood in your way, you would clear away every obstacle."
Tang Chen's figure drifted through Bo Saixi's mind.
The Supreme Douluo and Tang Chen shared certain similarities. Both were exceedingly arrogant, but compared to Tang Chen, the Supreme Douluo seemed even more spirited and high-spirited.
Tang Chen's arrogance was often off-putting.
But Lu Xuan possessed a quality Tang Chen lacked: the vigor of youth. Because of it, Lu Xuan's arrogance was not offensive at all. Instead, people could not help but admire him and, without realizing it, be influenced by him.
It was a rare sort of personal charisma.
Bo Saixi suddenly raised a delicate hand to her forehead and shook her head with a laugh.
Honestly, what was she even thinking?
Why had she compared Lu Xuan to Tang Chen?
Perhaps it was because, as the High Priestess of Sea God Island, she had grown accustomed to loneliness and had no close girlfriends to talk to. Sometimes, she appeared calm and unruffled on the surface, but her inner thoughts were inevitably rather dramatic.
Spirit City. Papal Palace.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward.
There were many members of Spirit Hall present, including quite a few Titled Douluo-level experts. Nearly all of them kept their eyes on their noses and their noses on their hearts, even though the urge to gossip and discuss the matter had reached its peak.
Yet when the corners of their eyes caught sight of the regal figure seated upon the Papal Throne, they obediently chose to keep their mouths shut.
Thus, a bizarre scene emerged.
The Papal Palace was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Yet the people present exchanged glances in twos and threes, somehow creating the illusion of a bustling, heated discussion.
Some wished to sneak a look at Bibi Dong's reaction, but Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, standing guard beside her, swept their gazes around like blades.
Someone secretly grumbled,
"No wonder they're favored by the Pope. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo are truly dutiful, just like loyal dogs."
Bibi Dong remained calm and composed.
But it was merely forced composure.
The faint redness at the tips of her ears and her left hand, resting on her lap but clenched tightly around her papal robe, revealed that her state of mind was far less calm than she appeared.
A trace of embarrassment and irritation rose in Bibi Dong's heart. The favorable impression of Lu Xuan she had developed because of Qian Xunji could not help but diminish considerably. If Lu Xuan truly was as despicable as everyone imagined, then what difference was there between him and Qian Xunji?
They were both people who defied women's wishes and seized what they wanted by force!
"Lu Xuan, I hope you won't disappoint me."
After all.
Though they were in different timeframes, he was one of the rare men Bibi Dong found pleasing to the eye.
Soto City.
The crew-cut middle-aged man stared at the Sky Screen with bloodshot eyes, furious beyond measure.
"Lu Xuan, you bastard! How dare you set your sights on my Dong'er!"
Although Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong had long since gone their separate ways.
Deep in his heart, Yu Xiaogang had always regarded Bibi Dong as his possession.
Even if she was Bibi Dong from another timeframe, she was absolutely not someone Lu Xuan had any right to covet!
Besides.
Compared to the current Pope Bibi Dong, the white moonlight in Yu Xiaogang's heart was actually Bibi Dong in her youth. He could never accept another man appearing beside the young Bibi Dong.
Not even in another timeframe!
Especially since Lu Xuan was handsome, powerful, and surpassed him in every possible way. This undoubtedly magnified the inferiority in Yu Xiaogang's heart severalfold.
Yu Xiaogang's fury had reached its peak.
And then... there was no then.
In the end, it was nothing more than impotent rage, not even enough to draw anyone else's attention.
Like some stray dog by the roadside.
Sky Screen timeline—
Qian Daoliu refused outright, his voice tinged with anger.
"Absolutely not!"
"Lu Xuan, you are going too far!"
"Bibi Dong is the Pope's personal disciple and the Holy Maiden of our Spirit Hall. If you take her away, would that not make our Spirit Hall a laughingstock?"
"You may make other demands, but do not bring this matter up again!"
After speaking, Qian Daoliu fiercely swept his sleeve. His white worship robe billowed in the howling wind, while his gaze toward Lu Xuan was frost-cold and crackling with lightning.
Anyone with sense would have known to back down in the face of such a response.
But Lu Xuan was, of all people, not sensible.
"I understand."
Lu Xuan's expression did not change much.
Faced with Qian Daoliu's harsh rebuke, he made only one move.
His hand reached for the Godslayer Sword at his waist.
An aura so sharp it seemed capable of tearing heaven and earth apart surged forth.
The Godslayer Domain spread out.
No, after the Godslayer Domain had devoured and evolved alongside the Godslayer Sword, a more accurate name for it was the "Godslaying Domain."
Qian Daoliu could no longer maintain his composure.
As though facing a great enemy, every hair on his body stood on end. His hand instinctively settled on the Angel Sword, his voice filled with shock and profound confusion.
"Supreme Douluo, you want to fight me to the death over this?"
Qian Daoliu was genuinely numb.
I admit my attitude was a little harsh just now.
But you could have followed the normal process and negotiated with me!
If that didn't work, couldn't you just be harsh back?
Were you really going to fight to the death over one disagreement?
Come on, man? Don't do this!
Lu Xuan did not reply. His aura continued to rise, sword intent surged, killing intent gathered, and the soul power within his body stirred...
Qian Daoliu panicked.
He tried to call Lu Xuan back to his senses.
"Supreme Douluo, why go this far!"
"Whether a death battle between us would end in mutual destruction aside, what would become of the millions of lives beneath Spirit City? Not to mention, if our struggle leaves us both severely wounded, the continent's fallen forces will rise again!"
Lu Xuan had already adjusted himself. At that moment, his entire aura was at its peak. Both his sword intent and killing intent stood at the threshold of erupting at any moment.
Qian Daoliu sank into deep despair.
He simply could not understand what was so good about this Bibi Dong. Even if she was a peerless beauty, was she really worth making a Supreme Douluo, so devoted to the sword, this determined to have her?
Wasn't it said that the Supreme Douluo had no interest in fame, wealth, power, or beauty?
Back when he and Tang Chen had been most obsessed with Bo Saixi, they had not been as crazed as this Supreme Douluo!
Young people were too crazy!
Facing Qian Daoliu's confusion, Lu Xuan held his sword in one hand and gently shook his head.
"The world laughs at me for being too mad; I laugh at them for failing to see through it."
Bibi Dong truly did not possess such great allure.
But a Divine Second Martial Soul did...
