Although Yu Xiaogang tried his best to resist, he was ultimately beaten without suspense by a Spirit Hall deacon and thrown out of Spirit City, while also being stripped of the right to ever set foot in Spirit City again.
However, Yu Xiaogang's miserable days did not end because of this. On the contrary, they had only just begun.
The young soul masters who could appear in Spirit City might not all have outstanding talent, but they all had backing. When Yu Xiaogang had used Bibi Dong's name to swindle and deceive others, they had still been somewhat wary. But now that it had been proven he had nothing to do with Bibi Dong, they naturally sought justice from him for having been deceived.
Although Yu Xiaogang had not swindled that much money in total, with so many people demanding repayment at once, he found it difficult to cope.
No matter how reluctant he was, Yu Xiaogang could only take out Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night to settle his debts.
Watching the group leave with Twenty Bridges Moonlit Nights, Yu Xiaogang clenched his fists tightly and pressed his lips together without saying a word.
Damn it...
Damn it!
He, Yu Xiaogang, had never suffered such humiliation before!
All of this was thanks to Bibi Dong!
Yu Xiaogang gazed toward Spirit Hall, his chest already filled with fury and hatred.
That damned bitch, Bibi Dong!
Just days ago, she had still been sweet and affectionate with him. Yet only days later, because of that brat named Ling Jing, she had distanced herself from him and even cut off every path of retreat for him without the slightest mercy!
"Ling Jing... Bibi Dong... just wait! If I, Yu Xiaogang, do not avenge this grudge in this life, I swear I am not human!"
Yu Xiaogang could not help taking a deep breath before lifting his head and puffing out his chest again.
With his abilities, even if he had been driven out of Spirit City, he could still make something of himself elsewhere!
Just then, a somewhat curious voice suddenly sounded behind Yu Xiaogang. "Brother, that belt you handed over just now... it looked quite valuable, didn't it?"
"Who's there?"
Yu Xiaogang jumped in fright and turned around, only to see a young man with a somewhat cunning and vicious-looking face, wearing glasses.
Seeing that Yu Xiaogang had been startled by him, the young man laughed heartily. "Relax, brother. My name is Flender. And you?"
The farce Yu Xiaogang had caused soon reached Bibi Dong and Ling Jing's ears. Along with the rumors of the farce came the Twenty Bridges Moonlit Nights that Yu Xiaogang had been forced to use to settle his debts.
It was said that Yu Xiaogang owed money to many people, and the belt was nowhere near enough to divide among them. So after discussing it, they sold the belt. The person who bought it happened to be the red-robed bishop who had been responsible for awakening Ling Jing's Martial Soul.
Perhaps it was to curry favor with Bibi Dong, the Saintess, or perhaps for some other reason. In any case... the belt had appeared before them once again.
"Little Jing, put it on and see whether it fits."
Bibi Dong smiled as she handed Twenty-Four Bridges Bright Moon Night over to him.
Seeing Ling Jing stare blankly for a moment, Bibi Dong paused, then simply put the belt around his waist herself.
"Senior Sister doesn't have a Storage Soul Tool yet either, right?"
As Bibi Dong looked at Ling Jing wearing the belt and nodded in satisfaction, she replied, "This belt is clearly a men's belt, so Little Jing should wear it. As for me... there's no rush. There will always be another one in the future."
"Our Little Jing is indeed so handsome. With this belt on, he looks even more noble~ I wonder how many girls in Spirit City you'll charm in the future."
Bibi Dong helped Ling Jing straighten his collar, a faint smile appearing on her face. However, her tone sounded somewhat strange.
Ling Jing blinked, keenly noticing the hint of something unusual in Bibi Dong's tone.
"Charming countless girls in Spirit City... does that include Senior Sister too?"
At his words, Bibi Dong froze slightly, but an even more captivating smile soon blossomed on her face. "You little brat, are you even teasing your Senior Sister now?"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong lightly patted Ling Jing. Yet there was practically no force behind it. Rather than anger, it seemed more like coyness.
A faintly strange feeling had indeed arisen in Bibi Dong's heart.
Although... although such thoughts seemed just a tiny bit sinful.
Little Jing was only six years old!
Bibi Dong took several deep breaths, trying hard to calm her emotions and maintain her composure. At the same time, she adopted a serious and stern expression. "All right, playtime is over. Release the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul again. Let's continue cultivating."
Although Ling Jing did not know what Bibi Dong was thinking, he... could roughly guess a little.
Such thoughts, such notions, were perfectly normal.
After all, they had signed a Soul Contract!
Do you even understand the value of a contract lasting forever once signed?
Bibi Dong had always been one of Douluo Continent's biggest love-struck fools, and with this contract added on top of that...
Tsk, tsk, tsk.
It really was too much to imagine.
Ling Jing silently sighed to himself as he released the copied Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul.
Just then, a series of footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the hall.
Qian Xunji pushed open the door and entered. Seeing Bibi Dong and Ling Jing preparing to cultivate, a satisfied look also appeared in his eyes.
It seemed that while he had been away, neither Little Jing nor Dong'er had been idle. They had continued cultivating diligently.
"Teacher."
Ling Jing and Bibi Dong bowed slightly at the same time and respectfully called out to him.
"Mm." Qian Xunji nodded, then took a thin booklet from his robes. "Little Jing, this is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control Method. Besides your daily cultivation, you must also thoroughly master the Heart Separation Control Method."
"Only after you have mastered the Heart Separation Control Method will you be able to better control multiple Martial Souls after copying them in the future."
Looking at the booklet Qian Xunji handed over, Ling Jing could not help widening his eyes.
Qian Xunji had actually obtained the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control Method?
Oh, no.
That was not quite the right way to put it.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, it would not have been difficult for Qian Xunji to obtain the cultivation method for the Heart Separation Control Method. The difficult part was settling matters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and obtaining it in such a short time.
Ling Jing wondered what price Spirit Hall, or Qian Xunji personally, had paid to obtain this thing so quickly.
"Cultivating the Heart Separation Control Method is not actually difficult. The most important thing is finding the right method. Heart Separation Control is not truly about the word 'control.' If you rush to control things, you will instead fail to grasp the method and may even find it difficult. What matters most is first using your heart to feel, feeling every subtle change with your entire being. Then, practice repeatedly until everything becomes your body's instinctive response, thereby achieving the effect of using one mind for many purposes."
