Yu Xiaogang's Thirteen Needles! Bibi Dong Was Scared to Tears! Don't Come Any Closer!

[What is this livestream doing!?]

[It blocked the women just so we could watch Gangzi?!]

[Shit, why can I still see this ink painting with my eyes closed?!]

[Stop polluting my eyes!]

[Wait, aren't you forgetting something??]

[Gu Xingzhou is trying to remember how to save Bibi Dong! That's why he thought of Tang San saving Gangzi.]

[Which means Gu Xingzhou is about to use the same needle technique on Bibi Dong!!!]

[???]

[Holy shit, I'm calling it: the Fanfiction Livestream is god-tier!!!]

[This show is getting way too good!]

[Good, my ass! Don't forget, we won't get to watch Bibi Dong! It'll block us again. Only Gu Xingzhou gets to see it in person—and do it himself!]

[So what? I can imagine it!]

[After watching Tang San put needles in Gangzi, you can still imagine that? What if Gangzi's back door pops into your head halfway through? Wouldn't your brain explode?]

[Stop, stop! I'm crying already!]

[Elite Livestream Room]

[Ma Hongjun: Uh, what the... Tang San, what have you been learning?!]

[Oscar: My eyes will never be clean again...]

[Dai Mubai: +1!]

[Flender: This... this is downright indecent!]

[Tang San: ???]

[Tang San: No, I might learn acupuncture someday, but I definitely won't learn anything called the Tang Sect Thirteen Needles!]

[Yu Xiaogang: ...Don't explain, San'er. This is fanfiction. Still... don't learn such crooked tricks in the future. Focus on raising your soul power.]

[Tang San: ...]

[Bai Chenxiang: What are you talking about? Where exactly does the eleventh needle, Ghost Hide, go?]

[Xiao Wu: Yeah! The livestream's keeping us in suspense, and we can't even see it.]

[Zhu Zhuqing: Obviously somewhere they can't show.]

[Ning Rongrong: Then I'm glad we can't see it. I don't want to! This livestream is terrifying...]

[Liu Erlong: It's all right. We'll get to see it soon. Bibi Dong's in for it now. As a woman myself, I do feel sorry for her at a time like this...]

Bibi Dong read the comments, her face turning pale. She didn't need to think to know the eleventh needle went somewhere they couldn't show.

Exactly where no longer mattered.

She lay tense on the bed, powerless to resist the livestream's control...

Meanwhile,

Tang San was explaining to Flender and the others, "The eleventh needle is called Ghost Hide, and it's the most important one. Without it, the first ten needles are all for nothing. I know it isn't exactly decent. If it weren't to save my teacher, I wouldn't want to do this either..."

"Sigh. Let Tang San try."

Flender let out a long sigh, then turned away.

The moment Tang San inserted the first needle, Gangzi's body jerked, and a mouthful of poisoned blood burst from his lips!

"He moved! Grandmaster moved!"

"The needle really works!"

Determined not to waste Tang San's lesson, Gu Xingzhou had watched closely instead of turning away. He was the first to cry out.

Only then did everyone look back, staring in surprise at the change in Grandmaster.

[Hiss...]

[That needle must hurt a teeny-tiny billion!]

[If you ask me, the Tang Sect Thirteen Needles shouldn't have Tang in the name!]

[???]

[666. You want to name them after Gangzi?]

[Wouldn't that suit the technique even better?]

[Shit, I felt that one!]

[My phantom Gangzi is starting to hurt!]

[What the hell is a phantom Gangzi?!]

[That was an eyesore. Still, who knew Gangzi could be so burly yet have less than a tenth of what I've got!]

[666. A tenth? Who are you trying to fool?]

[People brag most about what they lack!]

[Just you wait. I'm heading to the Soul Hunting Forest to chop down every Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo! One stalk every three minutes! So satisfying, such a stress reliever! Soul Hunting Forest, here I come!]

[Haha, are you trying to leave Gangzi with no way out? He needs a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo more than anyone!]

[Haha, what makes you so sure Tang San doesn't need one?]

When Yu Xiaogang saw where the eleventh needle went, he couldn't help feeling grateful this wasn't being performed on him in real life.

Even after enduring the Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo ordeal, he had no wish to experience that pain a second time.

It didn't hurt this time, but hearing everyone size him up sent his inferiority surging back beyond his control.

He even wondered whether, if he ever managed to break through, he should give a Ten-Year Solitary Bamboo a chance and absorb one. Perhaps something really would change?

But what use would that change be to him?

The thought only made Yu Xiaogang feel worse. Once all thirteen needles had been inserted, it would be Gu Xingzhou's turn to treat Bibi Dong.

Though he and Bibi Dong had broken up, they had once loved each other. What pain or regret in life could be greater than loving someone deeply, never having her, then having to watch his former lover in another man's arms...

At last, the Tang Sect Thirteen Needles were complete. The instant Gangzi woke in the ink painting, he cried out in pain. Everyone immediately pinned down his limbs. When he realized there were needles in his body, he fainted on the spot.

Then the notice on the ink painting refreshed—

[As the following livestream will involve the female performer's privacy, this livestream will be blocked for all male viewers and conveyed briefly through text.]

[!!!]

[Here it comes!]

[Haha, Bibi Dong, so this day has come for you too!]

[You used to be Spirit Hall's saintess, and now you're its Pope! Even someone as high and mighty as you has a day like this!]

[Too bad we can't record it!]

[+1! I love watching a noble saintess fall from grace!]

[This is incredible!]

[If you ask me, the Fanfiction Livestream is a blessing for us commoners!]

[It lets us commoners watch those high-and-mighty nobles make fools of themselves!]

[Haha, sister, you're right! This feels so good!]

Seeing the livestream's announcement,

Bibi Dong's mind was in turmoil. Shame and fury churned inside her, but she couldn't voice a word of it. She couldn't speak or post in the livestream. Even if she could tell Gu Xingzhou she refused, he couldn't control himself either.

Was he really going to use the Tang Sect Thirteen Needles to save her...

At that moment, Bibi Dong regretted choosing this emergency-treatment scenario more than anything. She had thought it would be no more than mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. Gu Xingzhou was handsome enough that it wouldn't have been too much of a sacrifice.

How could she have known everything would go against her expectations?

She had thought the livestream merely wanted something to happen between her and Gu Xingzhou. The reality was nothing like that!

There was no romance at all!

Only humiliation and utter public disgrace!

She had relented and wanted to kiss him, but the livestream refused. Instead, it insisted on making her, a Pope, kneel and lick Gu Xingzhou's foot!

Now she had expected the classic scene where someone's clothes were removed to bandage a wound, but the livestream had gone against her expectations yet again!

Just as Gu Xingzhou drew closer and Bibi Dong resigned herself to her fate, the story took another turn—not toward hope, but despair!

As Gu Xingzhou reached for the front of her clothes, a painfully familiar voice suddenly rang out beyond the door:

"Mom! How are you!"

Through the ink painting, Bibi Dong saw the woman at the doorway. It was her biological daughter, Qian Renxue!

The moment Qian Renxue appeared, the entire livestream erupted!
