Yue Guan and Gui Mei had not expected it either.
"Old Ghost."
"Got it."
The two had worked together for years and had long since come to understand each other without words.
In an instant, Yue Guan and Gui Mei simultaneously withdrew their Martial Soul Avatars.
Death Spider Emperor: All right!
The Death Spider Emperor's confidence surged.
Could it be that these two humans were frightened by this emperor's aura?
Wouldn't that be wonderful?
Devouring the humans before me will surely improve my cultivation.
He sensed the same source of aura within Bibi Dong as his own.
"How arrogant!"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei each took half a step forward, their auras linking as one in an instant.
Nine Soul Rings rose in unison from beneath their feet. The Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum burst into bloom behind Yue Guan, its golden radiance covering the sky and earth. Pitch-black ghostly mist surged around Gui Mei, his figure half-melded into the void.
One bright and one dark, the two forces of extreme Soul Power drew each other in. When they collided in midair, they did not erupt. Instead, they rapidly contracted inward.
"Two Extremes Stillness Domain!"
A translucent force field suddenly spread outward in a ring.
Golden chrysanthemum patterns and pitch-black ghostly patterns flowed in alternation around the edge of the domain, light and darkness reaching an eerie balance.
Within the domain, the air instantly froze. Drifting dust hung motionless in midair, and even the daylight spilling down froze into stationary bands of light.
Space was completely locked down. Every movement of Soul Power and every physical motion within its range was forcibly suppressed, slowing from breakneck speed to a complete standstill.
The domineering sealing force pinned the confident Death Spider Emperor in place.
The Death Spider Emperor paled in shock.
What's going on? How could this happen?
I can't move!
What kind of strange domain is this?
"Heh heh heh."
Bibi Dong walked slowly over the dirt, the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand scraping against the ground with a grating sound.
The Death Spider Emperor's body stiffened, and his eyes began darting around in their sockets.
I'm finished, I'm finished. This time I'm truly finished.
"Serves you right. It's time to finish you off for good."
Bibi Dong sneered and came before the Death Spider Emperor. She raised the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand, Rakshasa Divine Power surging forth as she viciously chopped off his head.
Crack!
The Death Spider Emperor's head was severed, blood spraying everywhere. It rolled to Bibi Dong's feet, and she crushed it with a single stomp.
Holding it in her hand for so long had already eroded Bibi Dong's mind. At the thought of how disheveled she had looked before Bai Guyue, anger flared within her, and her gaze turned cold.
She grunted, and purplish-black demonic markings began spreading over her arm.
"Damn you, I'll chop you to death!"
Bibi Dong tightened her grip on the Rakshasa Demon Scythe and began chopping, chopping, chopping with all her might. Standing on the Death Spider Emperor's corpse, she swung the scythe again and again, hacking off his spider legs to vent the anger in her heart.
"Holy crap."
Yue Guan was utterly stunned.
What was wrong with His Holiness the Pope?
Had she lost her mind?
"Old Ghost, why don't you go talk her down?"
"Screw off. I'm not going. His Holiness the Pope is furious right now."
Gui Mei rolled his eyes.
"Looks like only Brother Bai can soothe His Holiness the Pope."
Yue Guan made faces at Bai Guyue.
They certainly could not soothe His Holiness the Pope themselves. They could only leave it to Bai Guyue.
Bai Guyue naturally noticed Yue Guan's glances and shook his head helplessly.
"Looks like I'll have to step in."
Bai Guyue jumped down and slowly walked to Bibi Dong's side. He looked at the frenzied Bibi Dong, her cheeks covered in bright red blood. She looked like a she-devil.
When he noticed the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in Bibi Dong's hand, he knew the thing had affected her mind.
"A product of the Rakshasa God. It's certainly extraordinary. To be honest, it's a good thing, but it has a slight flaw."
He took another step closer.
"Bibi Dong, stop right now. If you dare keep going, I'll abandon you this instant."
Bibi Dong's frenzied actions gradually subsided. The moment she saw Bai Guyue, clarity returned to her eyes.
Looking at the corpse beneath her feet, already chopped to pieces, Bibi Dong felt a jolt of fear. Had the Rakshasa Demon Scythe really affected me so much?
"Phew, she stopped."
Yue Guan breathed a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
In the future, it would be better to leave dangerous matters like this to a professional.
It would be bad if he got chopped up one day.
At least one thing was certain: Brother Bai mattered more than anything to His Holiness the Pope.
"Xiao Bai, I..."
Bibi Dong hesitated, then dropped the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hand, spread her arms, and embraced Bai Guyue.
"Looks like your Divine Artifact affected your mind. What were you thinking about at the time?"
In Bibi Dong's current state, she could not fully control the Rakshasa Demon Scythe, though she could still manage it for a short time.
There was clearly a reason it had affected her so much. She could not have lost control for no reason.
"I was going to stop, but when I thought about embarrassing myself in front of you, Xiao Bai, I wanted to hack the Death Spider Emperor into eight pieces, and then... then this happened."
Bibi Dong told the truth, hiding almost nothing.
"All over that little thing?"
Bai Guyue's face twitched. He had thought she had some deep-seated grudge on her mind, but it had only been caused by such a small matter.
"Of course. I have to be perfect in your eyes, Xiao Bai. Besides, as a reward, how about I give you a kiss?"
Bibi Dong had returned to her aloof manner as Pope, but her smile was still the same as before.
"No. Hurry up and absorb the Soul Ring. Don't waste time here."
Bai Guyue pushed Bibi Dong away.
Bibi Dong was not angry. She made up her mind to train Bai Guyue's secret chamber into the way she liked it.
Turning around, Bibi Dong looked at the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring on the Death Spider Emperor's corpse, then walked over to it and began taking out the right arm bone she had discovered.
"Did it drop a right arm bone?"
"No!"
Bibi Dong noticed something was wrong. There seemed to be more than one Soul Bone.
When she saw the second Soul Bone, her pupils contracted. This was a completely unexpected surprise.
"Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!"
Bibi Dong was thrilled.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei also descended, and when they heard Bibi Dong, they were stunned.
Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones were unheard of.
Only when Bibi Dong turned around and they saw the two Soul Bones in her hands did they believe it was true.
"Two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones."
Bibi Dong murmured to herself, then came before Bai Guyue.
Bibi Dong handed a right arm bone to Bai Guyue.
"Xiao Bai, take it and absorb it."
After she handed it over, Bai Guyue remained unmoved, so she held out the left arm bone as well.
"If one isn't enough, then you can have both."
Yet Bai Guyue still remained unmoved.
Bibi Dong frowned. Why wouldn't he take either?
Could it be that Xiao Bai doesn't like Soul Bones, but wants me instead?
Her powerful intellect began to turn.
"Brother Bai?"
Yue Guan and Gui Mei were puzzled.
They did not know why Bai Guyue refused them.
A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone was so precious.
"Bibi Dong, I don't need Soul Bones. Just keep them for yourself."
Bai Guyue shook his head and refused.
"Why?"
Bibi Dong was puzzled and eager to know the answer.
"The Death Spider Emperor's two Soul Bones are suited to you in the first place. As for Soul Bones for my own body, I'll find them later."
Bai Guyue declined Bibi Dong's Soul Bones and urged him to hurry up and absorb them.
"All right, then."
Bibi Dong's smile deepened. She stepped forward, leaned close to Bai Guyue's ear, and whispered.
"Since you don't want them, Xiao Bai, on the day after our wedding, I'll be sure to serve you until you're satisfied."
