After Gu Shengge had brought Bibi Dong along and encountered Yu Xiaogang in Spirit City, and Yu Xiaogang had fled in disgrace after Gu Shengge humiliated him, more than a full week passed before Yu Xiaogang dared appear before the two of them again.
This time, Yu Xiaogang had made up his mind.
No matter how Gu Shengge humiliated him, he would not flee in disgrace again.
Whether before Gu Shengge or Bibi Dong, he would no longer choose to run away in such a sorry state.
Moreover, since fleeing, he had decided not to rely on getting close to Gu Shengge and Bibi Dong to find a way into Spirit Hall's library.
But dreams were beautiful, while reality was all skin and bones.
On his second day in Spirit City, he had wanted to enter Spirit Hall's library to look for information.
Yet, as it turned out, never mind entering Spirit Hall's library-he did not even know where it was.
He had spent three straight days asking around without finding out anything about the library's location.
So Yu Xiaogang had given up asking.
After all, if he had learned nothing after three days of inquiries, he would find nothing no matter how much more he asked.
As for Spirit Hall's library, it certainly existed.
Perhaps only Spirit Hall's highest-ranking members truly knew its location and could enter it.
And if he wanted to get inside, he really could not get around Bibi Dong.
Just as he had thought before, those elders were not people he could meet.
Even if he could meet them, they would not take him there to look around.
The only person he could target was Bibi Dong, that innocent little white flower.
A great man did not sweat the small stuff; he could endure humiliation and shoulder heavy burdens.
Especially before Bibi Dong, he absolutely could not keep being a coward who only knew how to flee.
Didn't Gu Shengge know how to humiliate him?
In that case, he would make sure to get his revenge.
From the moment he first saw Bibi Dong, he had decided she should be his woman.
With Gu Shengge's humiliation added to that, Yu Xiaogang decided that, no matter what, he would steal Bibi Dong away from him.
He could see how important Gu Shengge was to Bibi Dong, and he could also see how important Bibi Dong was to Gu Shengge.
Since Gu Shengge valued Bibi Dong so much, when the time came, he would steal her away from Gu Shengge.
Just imagining Gu Shengge's expression then swept all the pent-up resentment from Yu Xiaogang's heart.
Although he had absolutely no chance of stealing Bibi Dong away from him in the short term, he believed that, given time, he could trick her into becoming his.
After all, as long as the hoe was swung well enough, no corner of a wall could resist being dug out.
He refused to believe he could not deceive an innocent, kind little white flower like Bibi Dong into coming to him.
After all, someone with Bibi Dong's innocent, kind little-white-flower disposition could least bear to see the weaker party suffer.
Her protective instincts had to be strong. As long as he played the victim at the right moments and put on a good act, he could chip away at Gu Shengge's image in her eyes.
The moment Bibi Dong started protecting him, he would have won.
One instance of protection could lead to protection every time.
By then, Bibi Dong would keep losing points in Gu Shengge's eyes until he lost confidence and hope in her, became utterly disappointed, and left her.
And that would be the perfect opportunity for him to slip in through the opening.
Even if Gu Shengge's departure brought Bibi Dong to her senses, he could set a trap for her before she came to that realization and make her his for good.
By then, the raw rice would have been cooked, the wood already fashioned into a boat, and no amount of regret from Bibi Dong would do any good.
Then, not only would he have stolen Bibi Dong from Gu Shengge, Spirit Hall's Divine Son, but he could also use her status to enter Spirit Hall's library and find a solution to his Martial Soul's problem.
After that, he would poach Bibi Dong from Spirit Hall and bring her into his Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. With Bibi Dong joining the clan, even if his Martial Soul's problem remained unsolved and he was still useless,
his status could still rise with her, like a boat lifted by the tide.
It would be killing several birds with one stone-a perfect revenge.
So, having thought everything through, Yu Xiaogang intended to keep appearing before them, no matter how Gu Shengge humiliated him.
He would be the toad that disgusted people even without biting them, sickening Gu Shengge to death.
Having thought everything through, Yu Xiaogang appeared before Gu Shengge and Bibi Dong again.
Looking at Gu Shengge and Bibi Dong, whose eyes were filled with disgust as they regarded him, Yu Xiaogang smiled at them.
As though Gu Shengge's previous humiliation of him had never happened, Yu Xiaogang stood before them, smiling at Gu Shengge and Bibi Dong. "Your Highness the Divine Son, Your Highness the Saintess, what a coincidence. We meet again."
"..."
Hearing this and looking at the utterly shameless Yu Xiaogang before her, Bibi Dong, who was holding Gu Shengge's arm, curled her lips slightly, completely speechless.
In all her years, she had never seen anyone so brazen.
Her big brother had driven him off with his words last time, yet here he was, popping up before them again.
Moreover, judging by Yu Xiaogang's appearance, it was as though he had not been the one driven away last time.
"A coincidence?"
"Weren't you deliberately waiting here for us?"
Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Gu Shengge wrapped an arm around Bibi Dong's waist and looked at him with a smile that did not reach his eyes.
Then he looked at him with eyes full of amusement. "Trying to ask around about the library in Spirit City? With me, the Divine Son, here, you won't find out in this lifetime."
"Even if you really do find out, sorry."
"The moment you started asking about the library, I moved every single book out of Spirit Hall's library."
"Even if you really get inside, all you'll enter is an empty room."
At this, Gu Shengge walked up to Yu Xiaogang, reached out, and patted his cheek with a smile. "Surprised? Didn't see that coming, did you?"
!!!
Hearing Gu Shengge's words, coupled with his utterly humiliating gesture, Yu Xiaogang's eyes widened.
Then Yu Xiaogang stood there and took a deep breath, plastering a smile back onto his face. "Your Highness, you jest."
"I've been looking for your hall's library because I hoped to find a way to resolve the problem with my Mutated Martial Soul."
"After all, across the entire Douluo Continent, Spirit Hall has the longest history."
"This is the sacred place in the hearts of all Soul Masters on the Douluo Continent, so Spirit Hall must also possess the most comprehensive collection of information."
"I wasn't asking about the library because I wanted to steal anything. I simply want to resolve the defect in my own Martial Soul."
"Might I ask whether you could take me there, Divine Son?"
"Once I find a way to resolve my Martial Soul's problem, I will certainly thank you, Divine Son."
Faced with Gu Shengge's humiliation, Yu Xiaogang concealed nothing and took a direct approach with him.
After all, when dealing with someone like Gu Shengge, who never played by the usual rules, a direct approach was better.
