Bibi Dong Won the People's Hearts as Crowds Lined Up to Humiliate Yu Xiaogang

A burly man roared in fury, charged onto the platform, and knocked Yu Xiaogang to the ground with one punch.

Only then did the guards responsible for keeping order react and seize him.

They had been too busy watching the spectacle to notice.

"What are you doing?"

"Let him go! Yu Xiaogang insulted everyone's intelligence in public and tried to fool us with plagiarized work. He's provoked the crowd—what right do you have to stop us?"

"Doesn't someone like him deserve a beating?"

"At a time like this, you should heed the will of the people, not defy it."

"That's what our Spirit Hall stands for: serving all the people."

Seeing that everyone wanted to rush up and beat Yu Xiaogang, Ye Tian sharply rebuked the guards.

The guards froze at his words.

The order to maintain order had been issued before Ye Tian arrived.

Why had it suddenly changed?

"You..."

Yu Xiaogang panicked the moment he heard that.

If no one stopped the crowd, he was certain they would beat him to death.

Desperate to save his life, he abandoned all dignity and pleaded with Bibi Dong. "Your Highness, have mercy! I only wanted to achieve something before confessing my love to you, to make you the happiest woman in the world. I did it all for you! You can't just abandon me."

Bibi Dong was furious when she heard him.

Even now, Yu Xiaogang was still indulging in delusions. He was utterly shameless.

"Shut up, you shameless wretch!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Bibi Dong slapped him across the face.

The sharp crack of the slap stunned everyone.

They had never imagined that the Spirit Hall Saintess they admired could lose her temper.

But when they recalled Yu Xiaogang's shameless words, anger burned in them too.

To them, the Spirit Hall Saintess was a goddess, exalted and not to be profaned.

Yet Yu Xiaogang, a plagiarist who had taken them all for fools, still wanted to pursue Bibi Dong. It was sickening.

"Sister Dong'er, don't just stand there enjoying yourself."

"Take this chance to make everything clear in front of everyone. Cut all ties with Yu Xiaogang. Tell them he's been pestering you all along, claiming his theories are unbeatable and his book is the greatest divine tome on the Douluo Continent."

"Tell them you held this public event so everyone could help you see what his theories really were and make him stop pestering you."

"Once you make that clear, Qian Xunji won't suspect you still have feelings for Yu Xiaogang."

Seeing his chance, Ye Tian secretly sent Bibi Dong a voice transmission.

At his words, Bibi Dong raised her hands slightly, signaling for quiet.

The crowd fell silent, leaving the venue utterly still.

"Everyone, I know you're wondering why Spirit Hall let Yu Xiaogang present his theories here when they're so impractical."

"The truth is, Yu Xiaogang has pestered me for years. He claimed his theories were unbeatable and his book was the greatest divine tome on the Douluo Continent. He said it would make his name known across the continent and establish him as a theoretical genius."

"Though I rejected him many times, he kept pestering me and repeatedly tried to prove himself through his theories."

"I thought he did have some talent. I didn't want to misjudge a theoretical genius, but I also feared he would keep pestering me."

"So I decided to let everyone read his theories and give them the fairest judgment possible."

"And sure enough, everyone's eyes are sharp. You saw straight through to the truth of his theories."

"Here, in front of everyone, I want to make things clear with Yu Xiaogang."

"I, Bibi Dong, want nothing to do with Yu Xiaogang, and I hope he will stop pestering me."

"You are all my witnesses. If Yu Xiaogang does this again, I will show him no mercy."

Bibi Dong followed Ye Tian's suggestion, but she put it even better and more thoroughly than he had proposed.

Ye Tian quietly marveled at how much Bibi Dong had grown. She could already take one example and draw three conclusions.

Now, even if Qian Xunji had his suspicions, he would have to believe she had severed all ties with Yu Xiaogang.

"No, that's not true."

"Dong'er, you love me. I know a little dog is controlling you."

"I can tell you didn't mean a word you just said."

"Dong'er, wake up! I truly love you. I don't want us to separate, and I haven't lied to you."

Yu Xiaogang lost control after hearing Bibi Dong's words. Forgetting the beating that awaited him, he declared his love to her again.

Everyone present burned with anger at his confession.

How could anyone under heaven be so brazenly shameless?

Bibi Dong had made herself perfectly clear, yet he still pestered her.

A worthless good-for-nothing like him wanted to be a toad feasting on swan meat?

Outrageous!

"Damn it, I can't listen to this anymore."

"Brothers, if you're men, help Her Highness vent her anger!"

The burly man restrained by the guards lost control again. He tore free like a madman, rushed up to Yu Xiaogang, and kicked him away.

The guards were furious too. Bibi Dong was their Spirit Hall Saintess. How could a man this shameless dare pursue her?

Yu Xiaogang wasn't worthy!

"Sister Dong'er, stop them. Don't let them beat Yu Xiaogang to death."

"Whatever else he's done, Yu Xiaogang is a direct descendant of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect. We should show them some consideration."

Afraid the crowd would beat Yu Xiaogang to death and leave him with no more fun to be had, Ye Tian immediately sent Bibi Dong another voice transmission.

Yu Xiaogang can't die. If he does, what fun will there be later?

Someone like Yu Xiaogang should be kept alive and tormented slowly.

Letting him die would be far too easy on him.

I still want to see Yu Xiaogang become a rat everyone chases through the streets. I want to see him turn into a woman too.

Bibi Dong paused as she heard Ye Tian's voice transmission and his thoughts.

Well, would you look at that!

Ye Tian says one thing to my face and thinks another behind my back.

He only wants Yu Xiaogang alive so he can toy with him slowly?

That's a little twisted.

Still, Yu Xiaogang really could not die.

Even if Spirit Hall had no regard for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, Yu Xiaogang's death would cause trouble.

Qian Xunji was watching from the shadows, so she still had to handle this properly.

"Stop, all of you!"

"You can vent your anger, but you must not beat him to death."

"He may have disrespected me, but I cannot take his life."

"Guards, stay here to make sure no one kills him."

Bibi Dong warned everyone to show restraint and not go too far, fulfilling Ye Tian's request while keeping the guards on hand.

The crowd was moved by Bibi Dong's kindness.

After everything Yu Xiaogang had done to her, Bibi Dong still wanted to spare his life. Their Saintess was truly wonderful.

In that moment, Bibi Dong's standing in their hearts soared, laying a firm foundation for her eventual ascension as Pope and her swift acceptance by everyone.

Ye Tian gave Bibi Dong's arrangements a mental thumbs-up.

No wonder Bibi Dong will be Pope one day. She handled this perfectly and raised her standing in everyone's eyes.

"Her Highness is so kind and merciful. She doesn't want anyone to die."

"Don't worry, Your Highness. We won't kill him. We'll just make him suffer a little."

"Exactly. We know our limits. There must be plenty of healing-type Soul Masters here. If he gets badly hurt, they can treat him on the spot."

"Brothers, I say we line up. One punch or one kick each. No vital spots, so everyone gets to vent their anger."

"Good idea! Let's do it. I'm first!"
