Oh No, Someone Stole My Home!

Thinking back to when she first met Yu Xiaogang, she had never felt as unsettled as she did today.

Perhaps she had been too inexperienced back then to understand love at all. She had merely been drawn to the sight of Yu Xiaogang diligently researching martial soul theory and naively assumed that was love.

Even now, she still did not understand what love was. That was why she still could not let go of her feelings for Yu Xiaogang, feelings that went beyond friendship but fell short of romance.

The regret in her heart had turned that relationship into an obsession, but today, that obsession had begun to loosen its hold.

In her daze, Bibi Dong suddenly noticed that Li Ye wore a Jade Belt that looked rather familiar. The twenty-four pieces of jade on it, glowing with a faint white light, made her feel as though she had returned to many years ago.

Li Ye's figure slowly overlapped with the figure in her memories, but in the end, all that appeared before her was Li Ye's handsome face, fair with a rosy flush.

How could this be? Shouldn't Xiaogang be the only one in my heart? As her thoughts scattered, Bibi Dong suddenly thought of something. Panic filled her eyes, and the heart that had long been sealed in black mist began to struggle at that moment.

At a small table near the corner, Li Ye deliberately left the seats against the wall for Bibi Dong and Hu Liena. He took the menu from the waiter and placed it before the two of them.

"Order whatever you want. The food here is reasonably priced. I can still afford to treat you."

As Li Ye spoke, he did not forget to steal glances at Bibi Dong's expression.

He had never really understood love. Whether it was Xiao Wu, Liu Erlong, Dugu Yan, or even An Nana before him, with her alluring eyes and foxlike beauty, none of them could make his heart pound as wildly as it had earlier.

Only An Dong'er, sitting opposite him and leafing through the menu, could draw this much of his attention and concern.

Her every movement, every frown and smile, plucked at the heartstring within Li Ye called love, leaving him unable to calm down and think.

Li Ye could not be sure whether this was some fleeting illusion, but if he did not give it a try, it would certainly remain nothing more than his imagination and a false impression.

"Nana and I will have these. Why don't you see what you'd like?"

Once Hu Liena finished ordering, Bibi Dong took the menu and handed it to Li Ye.

Hearing Bibi Dong's voice, as lovely as celestial music, Li Ye immediately fell into a daze. Only when she spoke again did he react foolishly, taking the menu and hurriedly ordering his food.

At the sight, a smile immediately curved Bibi Dong's lips, making Hu Liena beside her instantly furrow her brows.

Doesn't Teacher usually loathe men? What's gotten into her today? Could she be an old cow looking to eat tender grass?

As though she had guessed something incredible, Hu Liena immediately lowered her head, not daring to meet Bibi Dong's eyes.

To be honest, when Li Ye stepped in and shielded her, she had developed a trace of an unusual feeling for him, something like attraction, yet also like admiration.

But now, the teacher she respected and loved most seemed to have taken a liking to Li Ye too. She felt she had better not compete with her teacher. After all, her teacher was getting on in years; it was time she found a companion.

Although Li Ye was even younger than she was, that was no issue at all. Judging by him, he did not seem like someone who would care about such things. Besides, he kept stealing glances at her teacher. He had clearly fallen for this stunning older woman.

After a full day of traveling, Liu Erlong finally reached the town where she had agreed to meet Li Ye. Seeing how late it was, she immediately decided to check the town's hotel. She figured that little glutton Li Ye, who could not bear going hungry, would probably be eating there too.

Then she circulated her soul power and hurried to the hotel entrance, taking two strides where others would take three.

Pushing open the plain old wooden door, Liu Erlong began searching for Li Ye.

When the people eating in the hotel saw yet another extraordinary beauty arrive, they were immediately scared out of their wits. They buried their heads and ate without a word.

They reacted this way because two extraordinary beauties had appeared earlier, and one of them had instantly killed dozens of Soul Masters right before their eyes without even blinking.

And that beauty was eating right here. They did not dare gamble on this new beauty being a woman without much strength, especially since Liu Erlong looked like someone they should not provoke.

Seeing the men's reaction, Liu Erlong was immediately baffled. Wherever she went, those stinking men normally stared at her. When had they ever been too afraid to spare her even a glance, as they were now?

Something was wrong. Nine parts out of ten were wrong.

Suddenly, Liu Erlong spotted a familiar figure in a corner of the hotel. It was none other than Feng Yeli, whom she thought about day and night.

Looking at the two pretty girls sitting opposite Li Ye and the smiles covering all three faces, Liu Erlong's heart instantly stopped. Her expression fell, and all her earlier joy and excitement vanished.

Liu Erlong: Oh no, someone stole my home!

Still, to preserve her lovely image in front of Li Ye, she worked hard to settle her emotions, put on a gentle, charming manner, and slowly walked over to sit beside him.

Seeing Liu Erlong suddenly sit beside Li Ye, Hu Liena looked puzzled, but Bibi Dong's face was icy.

She knew Liu Erlong. Yu Xiaogang had met Liu Erlong in the years after leaving Spirit City, and according to her investigation, Liu Erlong had almost married him. Naturally, she had secretly gone to see what Liu Erlong looked like.

She had to admit, Yu Xiaogang truly had terrible taste. After parting with her, he had actually fallen for a woman like Liu Erlong.

After spending half the day with Li Ye, she had been ready to give up on Yu Xiaogang and let him and Liu Erlong have each other. Whether they ultimately ended up together was no longer something she would concern herself with.

But now, judging by Liu Erlong's behavior, she clearly knew Li Ye, and their relationship was far from ordinary.

At that thought, Bibi Dong's gaze grew increasingly vicious as she looked at Liu Erlong. If Li Ye had not been here, she would definitely have taught Liu Erlong a lesson and made her understand that some tender grass was not for an old cow like her to eat.

Naturally, Liu Erlong immediately sensed Bibi Dong's hostility toward her. However, she had never been to Spirit City or met Bibi Dong; she had only heard Flender mention her.

Sometimes, one had to admire a woman's sixth sense. With just a single clash of gazes, the two women saw through each other's thoughts.

"Ye Li, aren't you going to introduce these two to me?"

"Them? I met them today. We happened to get acquainted over something this morning. As it happens, An Nana here is also going to hunt for her fourth Soul Ring, so I teamed up with them. Oh, right, this is An Nana's older sister, An Dong'er."

Li Ye did not conceal his fondness for Bibi Dong, openly introducing Hu Liena and Bibi Dong to Liu Erlong.

His relationship with Liu Erlong was subtle, more like that of a close sister and brother than a passionately devoted couple.

Although each held the place of a lover in the other's heart, whenever they spent time together, they always behaved like siblings.

Liu Erlong also knew Dugu Yan liked Li Ye, and that Li Ye would surely marry Dugu Yan in the future. There was also Xiao Wu, who was like a younger sister to him, yet whom he could not let down.

But that did not mean she could hand Li Ye over to a woman he had only just met, especially one who dared provoke her.

Noticing that Liu Erlong's expression was a little off, Li Ye immediately followed her gaze toward Bibi Dong.

But Bibi Dong still wore the same calm expression, her eyes fixed on him all the while.

Bibi Dong: Liu Erlong, I didn't fight you for Yu Xiaogang before because I never had the chance. Now you're competing with me for Feng Yeli? You're simply asking for misery!

In Bibi Dong's heart, she had never regarded Liu Erlong as a rival. She did not believe her charms would lose to Liu Erlong's, even if Liu Erlong had met Li Ye first.

She had to make Liu Erlong experience the pain of being overtaken by someone who came later, too. Liu Erlong's failure to end up with Yu Xiaogang did not mean she could not end up with Li Ye. After all, Li Ye was not Yu Xiaogang. He was not someone who only ran away when faced with difficulties. Once he had endured for a while, he would no longer put up with anyone.

When someone whose head was full of romance shifted her love to the person her romantic rival liked, one would understand what truly frightening meant!
