Sleeping with Ah Yin and Ah Rou in His Arms, the Clear Sky Sect Retreats into the Mountains

Seeing him freeze with confusion written all over his face, Ghost Douluo asked curiously, "Old Chrysanthemum, what's wrong?"

"Old Ghost, don't say such scandalous things again."

"We're good friends, not lovers."

"Haven't you noticed how my personality has been changing these past few years?"

"The Lord Auspicious Beast doesn't like his subordinates fooling around. Men should act masculine."

"If the Lord Auspicious Beast heard that, you'd definitely get scolded."

Chrysanthemum Douluo came back to his senses and explained the situation to Ghost Douluo.

What he had just said could easily cause a misunderstanding. It was far too dangerous.

"Old Chrysanthemum, what are you talking about? I'm a normal man!"

How could Ghost Douluo fail to understand him? A little embarrassed, he tossed out those words, turned, and left.

"I hope so. Looks like I'll have to act even more manly from now on to be safe."

Chrysanthemum Douluo muttered to himself, then followed him out.

Once the two had made all the arrangements and set everyone in Spirit Hall into action, they went to Bibi Dong's courtyard together.

At that moment, Ye Tian was having a wonderful time playing with Qiuqiu.

"Your Highness, the Saintess, His Holiness the Pope has succumbed to his grievous injuries."

"The Great Enshrined has issued orders to hunt down Tang Hao across the continent. You are to oversee all Spirit Hall affairs for the time being."

Bibi Dong suddenly heard Chrysanthemum Douluo's call. Startled, she could not help letting out a shrill cry.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo froze when they heard it.

What just happened?

That cry from Her Highness sounded a little strange.

"Little Tiantian, this is all your fault."

"You do this every time. I almost..."

Bibi Dong became too embarrassed to finish and shot him a faintly resentful look.

Seeing that, Ye Tian gave a foolish grin and awkwardly rubbed the back of his head.

"All right, you've had enough fun by now, haven't you?"

"We have serious business to attend to now. Let's hurry and deal with it."

"We're going to be busy for a while."

"Once everything is settled, I'll repay you properly."

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the restlessness inside her, composed herself, put on her clothes, and walked out.

Ye Tian knew that Bibi Dong's busiest days were about to begin.

Everyone would be watching everything she did. Whether she could earn their trust before becoming Pope depended on how she handled these affairs.

Ye Tian did not follow her, because he believed the present Bibi Dong would not disappoint him.

"Ah Yin, Ah Rou, come here for a moment."

"Big Sister Dong'er has gone out and won't be back anytime soon. I can't sleep. Come help me get to sleep."

Ye Tian tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, and could only call out toward the room next door.

There was nothing he could do. He had gotten into the habit of sleeping with Bibi Dong in his arms.

Hearing his call, Ah Rou and Ah Yin came over with a little apprehension.

"Lord Auspicious Beast!"

Ah Rou and Ah Yin entered the room and bowed respectfully to Ye Tian.

Since both wore loose nightclothes, their bows instantly gave Ye Tian an unobstructed view.

All he saw were four plump bighead carp leaping out of unfathomably deep pools.

What plump bighead carp. The sight made him long to catch them in his hands, slap off their heads, remove their tails, and savor their succulent bodies.

"Ahem, get up. Ah Yin, you sleep on the left. Ah Rou, you sleep on the right."

Ye Tian coughed awkwardly twice and patted the spaces on either side of him.

"Yes, Lord Auspicious Beast."

Ah Yin and Ah Rou exchanged a glance, then shyly lay down on either side of Ye Tian.

"Let's sleep."

Seeing how stiffly they behaved, Ye Tian turned off the light and immediately wrapped his arms around Ah Yin to sleep.

When Ah Yin felt what Ye Tian was doing, her face instantly flushed and her heart began pounding.

At first, Ye Tian behaved himself, holding her quietly.

Before long, however, his hands began to wander, leaving Ah Yin deeply uncomfortable. She tingled all over, as though insects were biting every inch of her body.

"Lord Auspicious Beast, please don't do that. I-it doesn't feel comfortable."

Unable to bear it any longer, Ah Yin could only beg Ye Tian for mercy.

Hearing her, Ah Rou trembled slightly. She could roughly guess what Ye Tian was doing.

She also knew that Ye Tian probably would not spare her later.

"Ah Yin, we're all adults. Sometimes, we need to deepen our bonds."

"From now on, you two may be the ones sleeping beside me, so you need to adjust."

"Once you've adjusted, you'll be used to it."

Ye Tian offered Ah Yin a few words of comfort, let her go, and turned to embrace Ah Rou.

Seeing that Ye Tian was no longer tormenting her, Ah Yin inwardly sighed with relief.

Yet, for some reason, she suddenly felt a little disappointed, as though she had lost something important.

Driven by that inexplicable feeling, Ah Yin slowly turned over and hugged Ye Tian tightly.

Sensing Ah Yin's actions, Ye Tian smiled calmly and pulled both Ah Rou and Ah Yin into his arms.

At that moment, Ye Tian thought that it probably would not be long before he won both of them over in one stroke and made them his women.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong had already begun taking charge of all Spirit Hall affairs.

She personally supervised the hunt for Tang Hao, correcting and promptly refining the deeply flawed orders issued by Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo.

Afterward, she immediately began arranging Qian Xunji's funeral.

First, she had all those killed by Qian Daoliu secretly disposed of and ordered craftsmen to build an expensive coffin for Qian Xunji.

Then, she immediately sent people to find the most experienced funeral director and make all the funeral preparations according to the Qian Clan's customs.

Finally, Bibi Dong had Qian Xunji's corpse preserved with millennium mystic ice to prevent it from rotting. She also forbade anyone from spreading news of his death, leaving that decision to Qian Daoliu.

In addition, Bibi Dong promptly dealt with all manner of other affairs, keeping herself overwhelmingly busy.

She also understood how important her performance was at this moment. She had to handle things personally, demonstrate her management skills, and earn everyone's approval.

By the time she had sorted everything out and could finally catch her breath, seven days and seven nights had passed.

During that time, Bibi Dong had neither rested nor returned to her courtyard. Instead, she had remained in the Pope Hall and kept vigil over Qian Xunji.

Bibi Dong's performance reassured all of Spirit Hall's elders and enshrined, earning their approval.

Everyone thought that if Bibi Dong had not stepped forward in time, Spirit Hall would probably have become a pot of boiling chaos.

A month had already passed by the time Qian Daoliu returned to Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong had remained on edge throughout, scarcely resting as she fulfilled her duties.

Upon learning of Bibi Dong's performance over the past month, Qian Daoliu was somewhat moved and acknowledged her abilities.

To ensure Spirit Hall's continued stability, Qian Daoliu could only act in his capacity as Spirit Hall's Adjudicating Elder and Great Enshrined to appoint Bibi Dong as acting Pope and have her continue handling its affairs. Once the matter of Qian Xunji was fully resolved, he would convene a meeting of the elders and enshrined to decide on the best candidate for Pope.

On the very day of his return, Qian Daoliu also had Spirit Hall publicly announce that Tang Hao had grievously wounded Qian Xunji and caused his death.

Only then did everyone on the Douluo Continent finally understand why Spirit Hall was hunting Tang Hao.

On the third day after news of Qian Xunji's death spread, under pressure from Qian Daoliu and Spirit Hall, the Clear Sky Sect announced that it was dissolving the Four Affiliated Sects and retreating into the mountains, no longer involving itself in the affairs of the Douluo Continent.

The Clear Sky Sect's actions made the world recognize Spirit Hall's might.

Qian Renxue, who had already established herself in Heaven Dou City and adjusted to life undercover, immediately rushed back to Spirit Hall at top speed upon hearing of Qian Xunji's death.
