"Dong Er, didn't you say that you and Yu Xiaogang were just friends? Why is all of Spirit City spreading rumors that you two have become boyfriend and girlfriend?!"
Inside Pope's Hall, after summoning Bibi Dong, Qian Xunji could no longer contain his anger and questioned her.
Yet Bibi Dong appeared utterly innocent and naive.
"Teacher, Xiao Gang Gege and I were indeed just friends before. But as I spent more time with him, I discovered that he was an exceptionally talented person. Before I knew it, I fell in love with him..."
Xiao Gang Gege?!
Hearing Bibi Dong's intimate form of address for Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji was so furious that he nearly ground his teeth to pieces, veins bulging across his forehead. It was only because he was the Pope and had to maintain his poise and dignity at all times.
Otherwise, Qian Xunji would probably have been hopping mad!
Still, he could hardly be blamed for his fury.
Bibi Dong was a top genius personally unearthed by Spirit Hall and raised by Qian Xunji since childhood. As a man, it was impossible for Qian Xunji to have no feelings for Bibi Dong.
But Bibi Dong had truly been somewhat brainless, at least in the original story.
As a Spirit Hall genius, she had actually fallen for a piece of trash—and one from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, a force that could threaten Spirit Hall at that. For this useless enemy, Bibi Dong had even wanted to elope with him.
No one could stand that!
Thus, it was understandable that Qian Xunji had ultimately Blackened and become the Sealed Room Douluo. There had been reasons things ended up this way.
Of course, Qian Xunji's actions had been wrong.
Though he had obtained Bibi Dong's body that way, he had not gained her heart. Instead, he had caused her to Blacken completely, and in revenge, she had ultimately led Spirit Hall straight into the abyss.
However, as a Reborn Person, Bibi Dong naturally would not be as foolish as her former self and declare that she wanted to elope with Yu Xiaogang, thoroughly enraging Qian Xunji.
In truth, after hearing Bibi Dong say that she had fallen for Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji's rage had indeed exploded in his heart, but he had barely managed to suppress it.
In his view, Bibi Dong had simply been too naive and kind, too inexperienced in the ways of the world, and had thus been deceived by that hypocritical, shameless little bitch Yu Xiaogang.
But as long as he exposed Yu Xiaogang's true colors, Bibi Dong could surely still be saved!
Therefore, Qian Xunji suppressed his anger and painstakingly told Bibi Dong that Yu Xiaogang's supposed talent was fake. He had completely plagiarized Spirit Hall's knowledge to deceive her.
As for Qian Xunji's earnest explanation, Bibi Dong's goal was to have Qian Xunji personally drive Yu Xiaogang away while also setting Qian Xunji up.
So, unlike her former self, who had seemed brainwashed and refused to believe a word Qian Xunji said, Bibi Dong pretended to be confused and puzzled as she asked whether what he said was true.
Qian Xunji was naturally overjoyed and hurriedly called for someone to bring out the evidence.
The evidence consisted of the books Yu Xiaogang had plagiarized, with the passages he had stolen displayed for Bibi Dong to see.
Upon seeing them, Bibi Dong seemed to have been struck by lightning. Her beautiful face instantly turned pale, and she staggered back several steps as though unable to bear the blow.
At the same time, she murmured, "How could this be? He was deceiving me all along..."
Seeing his disciple deceived so badly by a scumbag, Qian Xunji naturally felt heartbroken as well. After all, she was the wife he had already chosen for himself.
Thus, Qian Xunji comforted Bibi Dong a few times and asked whether they could now drive Yu Xiaogang out of Spirit City.
Hearing her teacher's words, Bibi Dong naturally displayed her exquisite acting skills once more. Biting her lip, she wore an expression of hesitation across her pale face.
Yet after seemingly making an immense decision, Bibi Dong still gave a bitter smile and asked Qian Xunji to personally drive Yu Xiaogang away, without telling Yu Xiaogang that she had already learned everything...
Qian Xunji was naturally somewhat angry and disappointed by his disciple Bibi Dong's decision.
But since Bibi Dong had always been presented as naive and kind, Qian Xunji felt it was normal that she could not bring herself to completely fall out with Yu Xiaogang.
In any case, it did not matter who handled it, so long as that damned piece of trash Yu Xiaogang was driven out of Spirit City!
Thus, after telling Bibi Dong to remain in Pope's Hall for a while, rest properly, and return home afterward, Qian Xunji left with a cold sneer in his heart and directly went to find Yu Xiaogang with his men.
As Qian Xunji departed, Bibi Dong's entire aura changed instantly. She no longer possessed the naive innocence she had displayed earlier, instead becoming cold, stunning, and sharp.
I finally lured him away. Now I can begin my plan!
After Qian Xunji left, Bibi Dong walked over to the magnificent golden Angel Throne where Qian Xunji sat in Pope's Hall and poured a packet of medicinal powder into the tea within the teapot on a nearby table.
Because the subject Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong had discussed was rather private, there was no one in Pope's Hall at the moment. Thus, no one noticed Bibi Dong's actions.
After drugging the tea Qian Xunji drank in Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong left Pope's Hall and went to Qian Xunji's study, where she drugged the tea he drank there as well.
Then, Bibi Dong left Pope's Hall in satisfaction.
The medicine Bibi Dong had given Qian Xunji was naturally not poison.
At present, Bibi Dong had no intention of taking Qian Xunji's life.
In fact, what Bibi Dong had given Qian Xunji was an aphrodisiac.
Aphrodisiacs were a very special kind of medicine and theoretically counted as poison.
Yet even a Titled Douluo like Qian Xunji would be affected, because the aphrodisiac itself caused no harm to the drinker's body.
To avoid being discovered, the aphrodisiac Bibi Dong had used was a special one carefully developed by Dugu Bo. It gradually stirred desire and would not be easily detected.
And to prevent suspicion,
Bibi Dong had Dugu Bo make the aphrodisiac into something like a compound poison. Examining only the tea in Pope's Hall or the tea in the study would reveal nothing unusual.
Only after both teas had been drunk and a specific catalyst was encountered would the aphrodisiac be fully activated.
As for the catalyst, it was an ordinary perfume. However, through long-term arrangements, Bibi Dong had made one of Qian Xunji's Maids accustomed to wearing it.
So after Qian Xunji finished his tea, when the Maid came to bring him foot-washing water at night, Qian Xunji would immediately fall victim to it!
Bibi Dong had gone to such painstaking lengths, of course, not to send a woman to Qian Xunji's bed.
That would not harm Qian Xunji in the slightest.
The reason Bibi Dong had done this was to ensure Qian Renxue's birth. She had prepared for it for a long time, and even subduing Dugu Bo had been in preparation for this day.
To ensure Qian Renxue's birth, Bibi Dong had also secretly made many arrangements involving the Maid by Qian Xunji's side.
In the end, she had arranged for a young woman who resembled her somewhat to become Qian Xunji's Maid, solely to ensure that the Qian Renxue she remembered would be born.
It had to be said that Bibi Dong felt deeply indebted to this daughter from her previous life.
In this life, Bibi Dong wanted not only to make it up to Su Mo, but also to properly make it up to the daughter she had owed so much in her previous life.
