Sure enough, he had deceived Qian Xunji.
"You-you really are a roundworm in my belly. You know everything."
Bai Guyue stopped pretending altogether.
"Of course." Bibi Dong looked a little pleased with herself. "Otherwise, how could I be your wife?"
"All right, all right, let's talk business."
Bai Guyue didn't want to listen to Bibi Dong's sweet talk.
"Go ahead. I'm listening."
Bibi Dong smiled and nodded.
"The reason my Second Soul Ring is a thousand-year ring is that I accidentally consumed Whale Rubber once."
"Whale Rubber?" Bibi Dong asked in surprise. "Isn't that stuff an aphrodisiac?"
She had already prepared dozens of pieces of Whale Rubber as a reserve, waiting to use them after the wedding.
She hadn't expected Bai Guyue to have already taken it.
It was a real surprise.
"Although it's an aphrodisiac, it can strengthen your physique and bones, letting you absorb a six- to eight-hundred-year First Soul Ring and a thousand-year Second Soul Ring,
and by the time you reach your Fourth Soul Ring, it can be a ten-thousand-year ring. You need to take it several times along the way. Of course, if you take too much, its effects will diminish."
Bai Guyue finished his brief explanation.
Bibi Dong was already dumbstruck.
"It's that miraculous? If all of this is true, when these methods are revealed,
the people in the Worship Hall will be utterly astonished. Xiao Bai, I never thought you were hiding something this good. Luckily, you didn't mention it in front of Qian Xunji. It's just what we need right now."
This was wonderful.
This method alone was enough to greatly increase the strength of Spirit Hall's lower-ranking disciples.
Did Bai Guyue have other big secrets? If he brought out a few more, then no matter how unwilling the Worship Hall was, they would have to compromise and attend her wedding to Bai Guyue.
"If I'd known, I would've said so earlier. At least I could've gotten some benefits out of the Worship Hall instead of letting you freeload off me."
Bai Guyue was deeply dissatisfied.
"Nothing I could do about that. Who told you not to seize the opportunity? Besides, you're not losing out either."
After saying that, Bibi Dong asked again, "Do you have anything else? Something explosive would be best. If possible, it could shut the Worship Hall up."
Bai Guyue pondered without answering.
"No answer means you do. If you won't even tell me this, it looks like I'll have to give you a taste of something sweet."
The corners of Bibi Dong's mouth rose.
As the saying went, a mouth that ate another's food was too short to speak, and a hand that took another's gifts was too soft to refuse. Bibi Dong naturally understood this, so she had to set an example.
Bai Guyue thought for a moment, his mind entirely on the matter at hand. He didn't notice the sly, seductive glint quietly appearing in Bibi Dong's eyes beside him, completely unaware of the turn of events about to come.
As he pondered in silence, Bibi Dong's eyes flickered, and she gave him no more chance to think or put her off.
Her lithe figure flashed forward. Before Bai Guyue could react, she lunged down and pinned the unsuspecting Bai Guyue firmly on the bed.
"Bibi Dong, you..."
Bai Guyue's pupils contracted sharply. His whole body froze, and his mind went blank.
Before he could recover, soft, warm lips suddenly pressed against his.
Without the slightest shyness or hesitation, Bibi Dong kissed him forcefully and domineeringly, full of initiative and possessiveness.
In the next instant, she parted her lips slightly, the nimble tip of her tongue slipping out and through the opening to entwine freely with his.
The warm, intimate sensation swept through Bai Guyue's body in an instant. He went rigid, his scalp tingling as a scorching, numbing sensation shot up his spine to the top of his head.
He was utterly stunned, at a complete loss, and even his breathing grew erratic.
How could he have imagined that after only a moment of silent hesitation, Bibi Dong would use such a direct, domineering method to get a taste of sweetness?
Bibi Dong, pressing down on him, was gentle yet forceful, their soft breaths intertwining.
Bibi Dong's eyes were full of triumphant amusement. Clearly, she was certain that after this, Bai Guyue would no longer be able to keep anything hidden.
A moment later, Bibi Dong pulled her mouth away. A silver thread connected them, lingering before finally breaking.
She licked the edge of her lips, still wanting more. "Satisfied?"
A blush rose on Bai Guyue's cheeks, but more than anything, he couldn't believe it.
"Bibi Dong, are you crazy? You actually forced a kiss on me???"
What a crazy woman.
Bai Guyue cursed inwardly.
He had never imagined Bibi Dong would do such a thing, much less be so bold about it.
It was completely beyond his expectations.
"Wasn't I giving you a taste of something sweet?"
"Besides, we'll be husband and wife soon. What's wrong with a kiss? You're making a fuss over nothing."
Bibi Dong stretched her waist as she spoke, utterly seductive.
Her delicate body was fully on display before him.
Bai Guyue had just started to get up when Bibi Dong suddenly pinned down his arms.
"What are you doing?"
Bibi Dong smiled alluringly. "What do you think? I haven't had my fill yet. Let's do it again."
"Bibi Dong, you fu-mmph!"
Before he could finish, his mouth was blocked.
A moment later, Bibi Dong moved away from Bai Guyue's chest, thoroughly satisfied.
Bai Guyue, meanwhile, was drenched in sweat. He was truly afraid of this crazy woman, Bibi Dong. When she wanted to do something, she really did it without another word.
"Come on, tell me. What other secrets do you have? The more explosive, the better. Otherwise, we'll get straight to the main event."
Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and smiled.
That was enough.
She'd enjoyed herself, and Bai Guyue should have enjoyed himself too.
"I do."
"But it's in Sunset Forest. I came across the place before, but it was trapped inside a poison formation. I'm not quite sure what's actually there."
Bai Guyue answered truthfully.
Bibi Dong looked thoughtful. "In that case, let's go there."
Bai Guyue asked, "You're that sure there's something good?"
Bibi Dong smiled. "I trust you, just like the trust between husband and wife. Why does there have to be a reason for everything?"
Bai Guyue was momentarily at a loss for words.
This side of Bibi Dong made her seem like a completely different person from before she became Pope.
Before, she had at least been polite on the surface. Now she had fully and quickly settled into her role as Pope, her lofty, superior manner on full display.
Bai Guyue felt helpless. He was in the wrong, after all, and he was only a Soul King, not a Titled Douluo.
"I'll go make preparations right away and call Yue Guan and Gui Mei along. Wait for me at the gates of Spirit Hall."
Bibi Dong stood, picked up the robes from the floor and put them back on, then left the room.
When she came outside, Yue Guan and Gui Mei saw Bibi Dong emerge with flushed cheeks and slightly disheveled hair. They immediately understood something.
The two exchanged a smile.
Neither spoke.
His Holiness the Pope moves fast. Brother Bai really is Brother Bai, conquering His Holiness the Pope so quickly.
"Yue Guan, Gui Mei, go and wait at the gates of Spirit Hall."
After speaking, Bibi Dong walked straight toward the Pope's bedchamber.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately set off for the gates.
About half an hour later, Bibi Dong arrived at the gates of Spirit Hall. A carriage had already been prepared.
Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Bai Guyue were already waiting nearby.
"Get in the carriage. We're going to Sunset Forest."
After arriving, Bibi Dong announced their destination, then was the first to board the carriage.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei sat up front to drive the carriage.
