Bibi Dong straightened up.
"My body suddenly wants to..."
Before she could finish, Bai Guyue clapped a hand over her mouth.
"Say no more. Forget I asked."
Bibi Dong removed Bai Guyue's hand and said no more, instead continuing to help him get dressed.
She did not dare go on, either. If she kept talking, the thought of what had happened earlier might make her lose control and turn into a spouting whale on the spot.
Wouldn't that be terribly embarrassing?
Everything had to be done in bed. Once she left that bed, she had to act normally.
After getting dressed, Bibi Dong did not put on her papal robes, choosing a long purple dress instead.
"Aren't you going to the Pope's Palace?"
Bai Guyue had noticed that Bibi Dong was not wearing her papal robes.
"We just got married. There's no rush, and dressing like this won't stop me from going to the Pope's Palace. Let's go out and have a look."
Bibi Dong linked her arm through Bai Guyue's and walked outside.
When they arrived at the wedding venue outside the Pope's bedchamber, it had already been cleaned up and restored to its original state.
"Your Holiness, Your Highness Bai."
The many maids who saw them bowed and offered their greetings.
They could no longer call him Guard Bai and had to change how they addressed him.
"No need for formalities. Has everyone else finished eating?"
Bibi Dong asked.
"Your Holiness, things are nearly finished at the banquet hall. There's still some work left to wrap up."
The maid answered truthfully.
"All right, carry on with your work."
Bibi Dong took Bai Guyue elsewhere.
"Where are you planning to go?"
"And don't hold my arm so tightly. I don't like it."
Bai Guyue tried to pull his arm free, only to find he could not budge it at all. He particularly disliked having it trapped between her breasts.
"You don't like it~"
"Then why don't you use your hands?"
Bibi Dong smiled teasingly, her expression both expectant and playful.
"Oh, get lost. Forget I said anything."
Bai Guyue refused without hesitation.
She really could say anything.
"You have a chance to enjoy yourself, and you won't even take it."
Bibi Dong felt a pang of regret.
If it were her own man rubbing them, she would not say how comfortable it would be, but at least it would feel somewhat different.
What a pity. This was the perfect opportunity, but once they walked a little farther, they would run into other people.
They entered a small path.
"Bibi Dong!"
Suddenly, an angry shout rang out.
Hearing the voice, Bibi Dong thought it was some blind fool who dared call her by name. But when she turned and saw the newcomer's face, a smile gradually spread across hers.
"Who did I think it was? So it's you. What do you want with me?"
Bibi Dong looked at Xue Qinghe, her eyes full of disdain.
Who else could it be but that self-righteous Qian Renxue?
"Bibi Dong, you vicious woman! You've barely been Pope for any time at all, and you couldn't wait to get married. You really have no shame!"
Xue Qinghe pointed at Bibi Dong and berated her loudly.
"All right, all right. I'm in a good mood right now, and I don't want to argue with you. Get lost while I still haven't lost my temper."
"Do you really think you're qualified to lecture me?"
After the fierce battle she had just been through, she was finally in a much better mood and did not want to bicker with her.
"You!"
Was it because she looked like Xue Qinghe that she could not make this woman angry?
No, she had to make her angry and disgust Bibi Dong too.
Otherwise, wouldn't she have lain in wait all this time for nothing?
She had already stationed Pufferfish and Snake Lance nearby to keep watch and control the area, so she was not afraid of her identity being exposed. And to make absolutely sure nothing went wrong, she had chosen this small path from the start, where no one was likely to approach.
She shed her Xue Qinghe disguise, revealing her true appearance. Her golden hair fluttered, and her cheeks still had a touch of baby fat, but she glared at Bibi Dong like a hissing kitten.
"Qian Renxue, why don't you just stay undercover? Why come bother me?"
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Renxue, who kept hounding her, and felt a headache coming on.
"Bibi Dong, stop playing dumb with me! And you, Bai Guyue, you're a genius swordsman with the potential to surpass Tang Hao and become the greatest swordsman under heaven and the youngest Titled Douluo. Why would you associate with Bibi Dong? What good does marrying her do you?"
"Apart from being beautiful, rich, and powerful, what else does she have? And she's older than you!"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, extremely unhappy that Bai Guyue had agreed to Bibi Dong's proposal.
Bibi Dong nearly laughed as she listened.
Is she insulting me or praising me?
"That's because she forced..."
Bai Guyue had barely begun to continue when Bibi Dong clapped a hand over his mouth and stopped him.
"Xiao Bai, behave yourself. Don't talk nonsense."
Then she looked at Qian Renxue and smiled.
"Qian Renxue, being older doesn't mean anything. I have influence, authority, and money. That's enough. What about you?"
"You're just a little brat, yet you dare lecture me? Let me tell you this: marrying me is the best decision Bai Guyue has ever made, and you're just a clown who does nothing but lecture people."
"Y-you-you!" Qian Renxue was so angry she could not speak, and her face turned beet red.
Damn Bibi Dong! How dare she be so shameless?
"Oh, look, you're angry. You came over here to lecture me, but when I gave you a scolding in return, you couldn't take it?"
"Put away that ridiculous pride of yours. In front of me, you're nothing. You're just a worthless piece of trash, understand?"
Bibi Dong mocked her without mercy.
She had not wanted to waste her breath in the first place, but she had warned Qian Renxue before they started. Unfortunately, Qian Renxue simply would not listen.
"Bibi Dong, don't go too far."
Qian Renxue trembled all over with anger, her eyes reddening. She was clearly the victim and only wanted justice. And was it wrong for her to want a mother's love?
"Too far?"
Bibi Dong sneered.
"I'll show you what going too far means."
With that, Bibi Dong turned to Bai Guyue, who was watching the show, and brought her red lips close to his mouth. "Come on, kiss me."
"What's wrong with you?"
Bai Guyue refused outright.
"If you don't kiss me, I'll force a kiss on you," Bibi Dong threatened.
"I think you really have gone mad."
Though he said that, Bai Guyue still wrapped an arm around Bibi Dong's waist, pulled her against him, and lowered his head to kiss her.
"No... no!!!"
Seeing the two of them kiss, Qian Renxue completely broke down.
Why are you doing this to me?
Bibi Dong, you really are so cruel.
When the kiss ended, Bibi Dong licked her red lips and smiled, still savoring it. "Qian Renxue, you saw that, didn't you? This is reality. And don't think you can call him Father. You're not qualified."
Bibi Dong's words relentlessly struck at Qian Renxue's heart, driving her to utter despair.
"Bibi Dong!"
"I hate you!"
Qian Renxue clenched her fists, turned, and hurried away. As she ran, tears streamed down her face despite herself.
Bibi Dong watched Qian Renxue's retreating figure and spread her hands.
"She really doesn't know what's good for her. I told her to leave, but she wouldn't. She had to take a beating before she'd give up."
Bai Guyue said:
"You did all that just to anger her?"
Bibi Dong nodded.
"What else? If I didn't make her give up all hope like this, she wouldn't let it go. Besides, do you really want her calling you Stepfather?"
"We'll have children of our own later. Qian Renxue is just passing through. She's undercover in the Heaven Dou Empire and won't be able to come back for at least a dozen years."
