Bibi Dong Flashes a V Sign and Rolls Her Eyes! Gu Xingzhou Plays Along with the Punishment!

"Indeed, there's nothing that can be done about it..."

"So... you're going to follow by Bibi Dong's side from now on?"

Xiao Wu asked with a hint of reluctance.

"What? Can't bear to stop sleeping with me?"

Gu Xingzhou teased.

"Who cares about sleeping with you!"

Xiao Wu lightly hammered Gu Xingzhou's chest a few times with her pink fist, then said with a slightly sorrowful tone: "No matter what, we've been roommates for two days and even shared a bed for two days. You're suddenly leaving, so as your roommate, I'm bound to feel a bit sad..."

"Then do you want to come with me? Since Bibi Dong wants to name me her honorary holy son, taking someone along shouldn't be too hard, right?"

Gu Xingzhou said.

"...Forget it, that wouldn't be very good."

Xiao Wu's expression grew dim. Bringing someone along indeed wasn't hard, but the problem was she wasn't human...

"Are you afraid of making things difficult for me? Actually, there's another way..."

Gu Xingzhou paused to keep her in suspense.

"What?"

Xiao Wu instantly filled with anticipation.

"To want to know so badly, it seems you really can't bear to stop sleeping with me after all."

Gu Xingzhou teased.

"Fine, fine, fine, I just can't bear it, alright? You and that sharp tongue of yours!"

Xiao Wu blushed and pinched his arm in simulated annoyance.

"Look, didn't I get a large bag of gold soul coins from Bibi Dong? There are a full one hundred thousand of them. Once I become Bibi Dong's adopted son and the honorary holy son of Spirit Hall, there will probably be even more money."

"Can't I just buy a few big houses for myself in or around Spirit City? By then, you could move in, clean up the place, and watch the door or something."

Gu Xingzhou said.

"You detestable rich bastard..."

"Then does this count as me clinging to a powerful patron?"

Xiao Wu giggled.

"Not really. This kind of relationship is more like being kept as a mistress, or a clever rabbit digging three burrows and secretly housing a lover."

Gu Xingzhou said with a straight face.

"Pui, pui, pui, who is your lover!"

Embarrassed and annoyed, Xiao Wu hammered Gu Xingzhou a few more times before reminding him: "Bibi Dong is still waiting for your answer, hurry up and don't stall."

"Alright."

[Elite Livestream Room]

[Gu Xingzhou: @Bibi Dong, so should I call you... Mother from now on?]

[Bibi Dong: Mn, you may. But in formal occasions, you must still use our titles. You are the honorary holy son, and I am the Pope.]

[Gu Xingzhou: Got it, Mother!]

[Hu Liena: ...]

[Xue Qinghe: ...]

[Bibi Dong: I have already sent people to issue a proclamation to the world, officially announcing this matter.]

[Bibi Dong: @Ghost Douluo, Ghost Elder, since you happen to be near Notting, go and escort the holy son to Spirit City.]

[Ghost Douluo: As you command, Your Holiness the Pope.]

[Ning Rongrong: Congratulations, Gu Xingzhou. From now on, you're the honorary holy son of Spirit Hall.]

[Xue Beng: Congratulations, congratulations.]

[Ma Hongjun: I'm so envious...]

[Oscar: This really is ascending to the heavens in a single step!]

[Dai Mubai: Indeed, his first soul ring is directly a ten-thousand-year one, and he's even taken in as an adopted son by the pope of Spirit Hall and appointed as their honorary holy son. This is something countless people dream of.]

Meanwhile,

Spirit Hall's announcement quickly spread across the entire Douluo Continent through the Ordinary Livestream Room!

[???]

[Crap, Bibi Dong actually isn't holding a grudge?!]

[She really took Gu Xingzhou in as an adopted son and even conferred him the title of honorary holy son!]

[Isn't she way too magnanimous?]

[That was the Thirteen Needles of Gangmen, you know!]

[Maybe it really is a deep maternal bond?]

[I doubt it. If you ask me, Bibi Dong just covets Gu Xingzhou's body!]

[What adopted son? That's just what they claim to the public. She probably couldn't openly admit that she's keeping a toy boy.]

[Who wouldn't covet a face like Gu Xingzhou's? If this old lady were the pope, I'd make sure Gu Xingzhou couldn't get out of bed every day!]

[666, I see you haven't woken up from your delusions yet.]

[Looks and all that are secondary in my opinion. Just based on Gu Xingzhou's talent-his first soul ring, for crying out loud-who would have the heart to kill him?]

[They definitely have to rope him in and nurture him like a precious treasure!]

[Say, did you guys forget one thing? Bibi Dong's punishment hasn't been announced yet.]

[I wonder what it'll be this time?]

[Can we get another exciting one!]

While Bibi Dong was announcing to the entire Douluo Continent that she was officially taking Gu Xingzhou as her adopted son,

Qian Renxue in the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace completely flipped out.

At this very moment, she longed to immediately shed Xue Qinghe's disguise, rush to Spirit Hall, and confront Bibi Dong face-to-face!

And then go find Gu Xingzhou... even if she didn't kill him, she was going to teach him a harsh lesson!

She didn't even acknowledge Bibi Dong as a mother, let alone recognize this younger brother!

Most importantly, the matter from the derivative theater where Gu Xingzhou had stripped her bare and looked at her all over was still unresolved!

When it came to this sort of thing, she couldn't be magnanimous in the slightest!

At the same time, the livestream announcement finally refreshed.

[Gu Xingzhou's reward distribution is complete.]

[Now beginning to announce Bibi Dong's punishment!]

[Bibi Dong drew the punishment: Peace Sign squats.]

As this announcement rang out, the viewers across the entire Douluo Continent went wild once again!

[!!!]

[Was my mouth blessed by the gods?!]

[Whatever I say actually happens!]

[Is this show too exciting or what?]

[We finally get to see a normal program...]

[o(╥﹏╥)o]

[I can finally forget Gangzi's peace sign!]

[This is the kind of show normal people like us should be watching!]

[Haha, Bibi Dong must be completely dumbfounded right now.]

[Could it be that she anticipated the punishment might be explosive, which is why she took Gu Xingzhou as her adopted son in advance? Was she afraid she'd renege out of anger after receiving the punishment?]

[You know what? That's a huge possibility.]

[If she had killed Gu Xingzhou in a moment of impulse, she would have suffered a massive loss over the strongest One-Ring Soul Master in history.]

[The elders of Spirit Hall probably wouldn't have agreed to it either, right?]

[Elite Livestream Room]

[Ma Hongjun: Ah, this...]

[Oscar: ...]

[Yu Xiaogang: ...]

[Xiao Wu: ...Why is no one talking?]

[Ning Rongrong: Shivering in fear, not daring to make a sound...]

[Bai Chenxiang: +1.]

[Xue Qinghe: Hehe, what is there that cannot be said? Does this Elite Livestream Room also have to be controlled by Spirit Hall and hit with a gag order? If one cannot speak freely, then this livestream room might as well be closed.]

[Xue Beng: ...Big brother, you... are right... (Shivering in fear.jpg)]

In the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace,

seeing this punishment only made Qian Renxue feel vindicated!

"Heh, let you take Gu Xingzhou as your adopted son, now your retribution has come."

She couldn't wait to watch this woman make a fool of herself again.

Meanwhile,

inside Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong went completely dark before the eyes and felt her heart turn to ashes at the sight of this.

The Thirteen Needles of Gangmen from earlier had already pushed her to the brink of a breakdown, though fortunately, male viewers had been shielded, making it slightly more bearable.

As for these Peace Sign squats, while they didn't require stripping off clothes or anything, the very fact that it could pass review-broadcasted to the entire continent regardless of gender-was what made it truly fatal!

The moment she recalled that scene of Yu Xiaogang making a peace sign on the rooftop at the start, and that the exact same thing was about to happen to her, Bibi Dong felt a wave of dizziness wash over her brain.
