As Bing Jiu finished speaking, an alluring voice came from above.
"Hehe, Old Poison, you've really got some nerve!"
"What?!"
A ball of flame erupted in front of Dugu Bo. Startled, he was blasted several meters away, scraping a long groove into the ground before coming to a stop.
He looked at his burned skin, then stared ahead with a face full of shock.
A woman radiating an overwhelming allure pursed her lips lightly, her presence immensely powerful.
Another Titled Douluo! A confrontation between Titled Douluos!
Everyone present was so stunned by the standoff that they could not speak. But who would have expected that the next moment...
"My, my."
Ling Yuan Douluo circled Bing Jiu once, placed Bing Jiu's hand against her own face, and rubbed it. Still not satisfied, she even nuzzled the back of Bing Jiu's hand.
With obvious enjoyment, she said, "Mmm... Little Jiu, your hands are still so soft."
"Don't touch me."
Bing Jiu kicked her away in disgust.
Ling Yuan Douluo staggered from the kick. Looking at her with a resentful expression, she pouted. "Hmph! What a heartless little girl. Who knows who raised you like this."
Then she turned toward Tuoba Xi and gave a soft laugh, her eyes instantly turning icy.
"What an Old Poison," she drawled deliberately, her voice brimming with mockery.
"If even a bit of my Saintess's icy skin and jade-like bones had been harmed, you wouldn't have gotten away with just a minor injury like this. That snakeskin of yours—"
"What?!"
At those words, everyone present broke out in a cold sweat!
Spirit Hall's... Saintess!
She stood shoulder to shoulder with the Crown Princes of the two great empires! She represented the greatest combat power of the younger generation!
Tang San was utterly stunned as well. He had never expected to encounter one of the highest-status young people on the continent here!
As he thought this, he looked again at Xiao Wu beside him. Her exquisite face and heavenly figure were simply beyond comparison with ordinary people.
Xiao Wu tilted her head, looking at him in confusion.
Tang San lovingly rubbed her head and sighed.
Ah... what a shame. Even if this so-called Saintess has a high status, she's wearing a cloak and a mask. How could she possibly compare to my Xiao Wu?
On the other side, Dugu Bo was so shocked that his hands went limp.
Although he had always stood opposed to Spirit Hall, that was mostly due to a personal grudge between himself and that dead eunuch. But if Spirit Hall's Saintess got involved in this...
What awaited him would be the pursuit of all Spirit Hall!
A Titled Douluo and a Soul Douluo were serving as her guards! Damn it, he should have realized it long ago!
As he thought this, he shot Tuoba Xi an angry glare. "Why didn't you tell this old man just now that she was Spirit Hall's Saintess?!"
Tuoba Xi immediately put on a disdainful look and raised his middle finger.
"Did you give me a chance to speak?"
"You—"
"Enough. I didn't come here to listen to you argue."
Bing Jiu's cold voice rang out. She did not even turn around to spare Dugu Bo a glance, as though he were someone utterly insignificant.
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth at this.
After searching for half his life, he had finally found someone who might be able to cure the poison in his body. Yet she turned out to be the Saintess of the faction led by his mortal enemy!
What was he supposed to do now?!
Bing Jiu's expression remained still as an ancient well. Her blood-red eyes swept over everyone present one by one.
For some reason, whenever her gaze passed over them, everyone felt an inexplicable chill.
Meng Shenji jolted, suddenly snapping out of his daze. He hurriedly led the other two education committee members forward to greet her.
"This subordinate did not know that Saintess had arrived at Heaven Dou Royal Academy. We failed to welcome you properly, and beg Saintess's forgiveness!"
"Hmph! Subordinates?"
Bing Jiu stopped her gaze on them and curled her lips into a faint smile.
"My apologies, but I can't accept the three of you calling yourselves my subordinates. After all, those who have immersed themselves in luxury and forgotten Spirit Hall's duties are unworthy of being my subordinates!"
"I..."
The three education committee members immediately lowered their heads in shame.
Though they had told the Heaven Dou Empire's upper ranks that they were dissatisfied with Spirit Hall's tyranny, in truth, Spirit City was the only pure land left on the entire continent!
And the reason they stayed here was simply because they were unwilling to give up the wealth and glory bestowed upon them by the Heaven Dou Empire.
"We beg Saintess's forgiveness!"
"Hmph! Even if you are to be punished, it won't be this Saintess personally dealing with you!"
Bing Jiu lifted her robe. Her silver-white hair cascaded down like a waterfall, and when she removed her mask, a peerless face that seemed meticulously sculpted by the gods appeared before everyone.
Hair like snow! Blood-red eyes like an abyss!
She seemed like a person who had stepped out of a painting. Though Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, and the others were all exceptionally beautiful, none of them could compare to her.
Sharp gasps immediately echoed through the hall.
"This..."
Tang San was so astonished that he stood there dumbfounded.
So beautiful...
"Hmph!"
Xiao Wu angrily gave Tang San a hard kick and glared at Bing Jiu.
You may be beautiful, but if you try to steal Brother San from me, then you're an enemy!
Snap—
Ling Yuan Douluo snapped her fingers. With a boom, flames instantly swept through the hall.
"If you dare look at Saintess with those vulgar eyes again, don't blame me for showing no mercy!"
"Don't be so flamboyant. I don't like it."
Bing Jiu surveyed everyone present once more. In the end, her gaze settled on a green-clad figure trembling beneath a table in the corner.
She smiled and walked over.
Ning Rongrong had only wanted to keep a low profile and save her life, but who could have expected Bing Jiu to walk toward her?
Alarmed, she immediately hid behind Flender.
"Headmaster, save me!"
"You..."
A thousand curses raced through Flender's heart.
No, miss, have you looked at the situation here? They have a Titled Douluo and a Soul Douluo, and they're among the very strongest! How am I supposed to save you?!
Though he thought this, his identity as the headmaster left him no choice but to step forward with a stiff upper lip.
"Saintess, I..."
"I don't care who you are. Don't block my way!"
Flender was instantly silenced. He stood there in a daze, unable to refute her.
Right. A Shrek Academy headmaster like him was nothing before true big shots.
Bing Jiu pushed him aside and stopped in front of Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong had never expected Flender, who always acted so arrogantly, to be so useless. She desperately signaled Tang San and the others with her eyes.
But they hurriedly turned aside. Even Oscar, who had always claimed to like her, scratched his head with an uncaring expression.
Ning Rongrong was furious. She hurriedly spread her arms in front of herself.
"Y-you... don't come any closer! I-I'm the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Young Sect Master? Oh, then I've got the right person." Bing Jiu curled her lips and raised her hand.
"Y-you..."
Ning Rongrong closed her eyes, but contrary to her expectations—
Smack. Ning Rongrong only felt her forehead get flicked.
The force was not great, but the humiliation was immense. Ning Rongrong was nearly in tears. Holding her head with a miserable face, she wailed.
"That hurts!"
