Bibi Dong's Move Still Had Flaws

Storage Soul Tools were absolutely rare treasures in the first part of Douluo Continent. Even Bibi Dong, who had already become the Holy Maiden, did not currently possess a Storage Soul Tool. This showed just how precious such things were.

In his previous life, he had always wondered where a piece of trash like Yu Xiaogang had gotten a Storage Soul Tool. At first, he had thought Bibi Dong had given it to him, but now it seemed... this thing actually belonged to Yu Xiaogang?

Then why hadn't he given it to Bibi Dong in the original story?

The moment this question surfaced in his mind, Ling Jing quickly realized the answer.

Oh, right.

In the original story, he had never appeared, so Bibi Dong's impression of Yu Xiaogang had never worsened. The two had quickly become inseparable lovers, and Yu Xiaogang naturally had no need to give away Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night to salvage his image.

Although Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night only had twenty-four cubic meters of storage space, in the world of the first part of Douluo Continent, having a Storage Soul Tool was already quite impressive. Even other Storage Soul Tools were unlikely to have more storage space than this belt.

A Storage Soul Tool?

Bibi Dong, who had maintained an icy expression all along, finally showed some reaction, a trace of surprise appearing on her face.

Just as Yu Xiaogang had said, Storage Soul Tools truly were extremely precious items.

After all, the techniques for crafting Soul Tools had long since been lost. No one knew how to forge them anymore.

But... even though this item was precious and rare, Bibi Dong had no intention of accepting it.

She had come today to draw a complete line between herself and Yu Xiaogang. What would it mean if she accepted his gift?

Bibi Dong could not help taking a deep breath, and her movement immediately drew the attention of Yu Xiaogang and Ling Jing.

The difference was that the former looked expectant, while Ling Jing was slightly worried.

With Bibi Dong's love-struck personality, he truly feared that she would be moved by Yu Xiaogang again—Oh my, Xiao Gang, you gave me such a precious gift. It must have cost you dearly to acquire this Soul Tool, right? Then their affection would rapidly heat up, and after three days of smooth little maneuvers, they would fall in love and become lovers.

But... Bibi Dong had already contracted with him, so that probably would not happen.

At the very least, Bibi Dong's expression remained calm.

"Thank you for your kindness, but... since this is so precious, I cannot accept it all the more. Besides, I did not come here today to accept your gift. There are some things I need to make clear to you."

Yu Xiaogang raised his head in slight astonishment.

Bibi Dong's reaction seemed somewhat different from what he had imagined.

In his plan, Bibi Dong should have been deeply moved, perhaps even desperate to rush over and embrace him. She would then ask him with concern what price he had paid before finally refusing the gift.

That way, he would improve his image and move Bibi Dong deeply, while still keeping the Storage Soul Tool for himself.

Yet Bibi Dong simply refused to follow the script!

Yu Xiaogang faintly sensed that something was wrong, and his smile became much more strained. "Dong'er, what do you want to say..."

Before Yu Xiaogang could finish speaking, Bibi Dong directly interrupted him. "In the future, please do not call me Dong'er. If you must address me, you may call me by my name, or call me Holy Maiden."

Yu Xiaogang immediately panicked at her words. "Dong..."

Under Bibi Dong's pressuring gaze, Yu Xiaogang had no choice but to change his words. "Bibi Dong, what do you mean by this?"

"It means that calling me that is far too intimate. You and I were only ordinary friends to begin with."

What did she mean, they were only ordinary friends to begin with?

Who said I wanted to be ordinary friends with you?

Their relationship had clearly been fine not long ago. They might even have developed into lovers soon. How had everything changed in just a few days?

"Also, do not come to Pope's Hall looking for me so often anymore. As the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, I must cultivate every day, learn how to handle political affairs, and teach Little Jing. I no longer have time to accompany you in idle amusement."

"So, Yu Xiaogang, you should take this Storage Soul Tool back."

Bibi Dong was now thoroughly disappointed in Yu Xiaogang. Combined with part of the contract's influence, even when Yu Xiaogang brought a Storage Soul Tool before her, Bibi Dong did not waver in the slightest.

Ling Jing nodded in relief, though his gaze remained fixed on Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night.

To be honest, he felt that Bibi Dong's move still had a tiny flaw.

She had gotten impatient this round.

She should have accepted Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night first, then drawn a line with Yu Xiaogang.

When Yu Xiaogang asked why she was still accepting his gift after drawing a line with him, Bibi Dong could simply say, "I accept your gift, but that does not mean I do not still consider us ordinary friends."

That would have been a killing blow.

Sure enough, in comparison, even Bibi Dong seemed like a good girl.

Hearing Bibi Dong's utterly unsympathetic words, Yu Xiaogang became completely dazed, his face filled with disbelief.

He clearly found this outcome difficult to accept.

Things should not have been like this... Bibi Dong should have fallen in love with him by now!

Why had it become like this?

Yu Xiaogang could not help looking toward Ling Jing, who was still holding Bibi Dong's jade-like hand, a faint smile lingering at the corner of his lips.

That smile seemed like the greatest mockery of him!

Yu Xiaogang only felt a surge of hot blood rush to his head. His entire body began to tremble as he nearly lost his mind and roared, "Was it because of this brat!? If not for him, Dong'er, you would never be like this!"

"You damned brat, what kind of bewitching potion did you feed Dong'er!"

As he spoke, Yu Xiaogang prepared to pounce on Ling Jing.

Ling Jing found Yu Xiaogang's breakdown, loss of control, and roaring somewhat unexpected, but upon thinking about it carefully, it also seemed perfectly reasonable.

After all, their Gangzi was just this much of a loser!

Whether it was talent or mentality, he was like this.

Still, he showed no fear at all. He merely put on a frightened expression and moved closer into Bibi Dong's embrace.

Bibi Dong reacted swiftly as well. With a sweep of her slender arm, she directly pulled Ling Jing into her arms, and her already somewhat developed soft mounds pressed against him.

But Bibi Dong clearly did not notice this. She only held Ling Jing and retreated a few steps, shouting sternly at the same time:

"Yu Xiaogang! What are you doing?"

"Attacking the Pope's disciple—have you gone mad?"

At this moment, a trace of disgust had appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Yu Xiaogang seemed even more unbearable than she had imagined. Once his emotions spiraled out of control, he actually placed all the blame on Little Jing and even wanted to attack him!?

It was simply... incomprehensible!
