"I am not Yu Xiaogang, I..."
Wang Hao immediately stated that he was definitely not Yu Xiaogang. Although he was embarrassed by being mistaken for someone else, he still wanted to clarify as soon as possible.
After all, he still needs to accumulate Fortune Points with this girl, and his future plans will depend on her, so he has to be a little more sincere.
However, before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a mocking sneer.
"Although I don't know how you obtained such a precious puppet Soul Tool, you've already brought it out. Is there any point in continuing to bury your head in the sand like this?"
She tossed a small spider woven from Blue Silver Grass in front of Wang Hao. It was the same thing Wang Hao had put in the brocade box earlier, a gift that Bibi Dong had personally woven and given to her predecessor three years ago, which her predecessor had never forgotten.
This Blue Silver Grass is extremely resilient; even if its roots are dug up and it stops growing, it can automatically absorb moisture from the air to maintain its vitality.
So even though three years have passed, this woven spider ornament still retains its Youyou blue hue, exactly as it was back then.
Looking at the Blue Silver Grass Spider that had been thrown in front of him, Wang Hao carefully recalled the vague memories of his predecessor. After analyzing them, he felt incredibly embarrassed!
Now he finally understood that when his predecessor left the Clear Sky Sect to burn paper money and incense at his mother's grave, he hitched a ride with a caravan, and Bibi Dong also hitched a ride with that caravan, which seemed to include Yu Xiaogang.
Later, for reasons unknown, Bibi Dong gifted her predecessor a spider woven from Blue Silver Grass, corresponding to her own spider Martial Soul.
However, judging from Bibi Dong's words now, it seems that she gave away more than just this Blue Silver Grass Spider ornament back then; she gave Yu Xiaogang at least one as well.
This put Wang Hao in a very awkward position. He had originally thought that his predecessor had a good relationship with Bibi Dong and wanted to come over to explore cooperation, but who would have thought that it was not what he had imagined at all.
What Wang Hao didn't know was that not long after Bibi Dong met Yu Xiaogang Yu Xiaogang that convoy, Bibi Dong, wanting to give him a gift.
However, due to her shyness and reserve as a young girl, she couldn't give Yu Xiaogang a gift directly. So, she spent the night weaving over a hundred spider-shaped ornaments from readily available Blue Silver Grass and gave them to everyone in the caravan, including Yu Xiaogang and her predecessor.
Because of his fierce and ugly appearance, no one in the caravan wanted to associate with him, so he squatted alone in a corner eating dry rations. At that time Bibi Dong personally came to give him this gift. In addition, because of his blurry facial features, he naturally did not see that Bibi Dong gave gifts to everyone and thought that she only gave one to him.
Then, the original owner of this body became delusional and couldn't forget Bibi Dong. She treasured the Blue Silver Grass Spider like a precious gem, taking it out to look at it every day and carefully protecting it so that the woven Blue Silver Grass wouldn't dry up and die.
So now this huge blunder has happened.
I came here today to give you a gift!
After a brief silence, Wang Hao took a notebook from his pocket, placed it on the ground, and then turned and left.
This meeting is clearly doomed to fail because the information obtained from the memories of the previous incarnation is inaccurate. Bibi Dong, it seems that Bibi Dong is in a rather bad mood, so it would be best to retreat immediately and then reconsider.
Wang Hao was right; Bibi Dong was indeed in a very bad mood.
She had already discovered that it was just a Soul Tool for a humanoid puppet, meaning that Yu Xiaogang had not come in person.
She also obtained information about Yu Xiaogang's experiences over the past year, realizing that the bastard had found a new lover within a short year after leaving her, and had gotten together with a bitch named Liu Erlong.
According to the latest intelligence, that bastard is actually about to get married to that bitch.
What does it mean that she's come looking for me now, behind that bitch Liu Erlong's back, by concocting such a puppet Soul Tool?
Do you think of me as some kind of mistress Xiao San secret lover?
Am I really that degrading?
"The news of my succession to the Pope spread throughout the world half a year ago, and I completed my coronation ceremony half a month ago. Don't you think it's too late for you to send your gift now?"
Bibi Dong sneered, feeling that this bastard was really insincere. However, Wang Hao's next words made Bibi Dong's delicate body tremble, and she almost dropped the scepter in her hand.
Happy birthday!
With a curt reply, Wang Hao walked to the tightly closed door and couldn't help but feel troubled.
How do I open this door?!
At this moment, Wang Hao couldn't help but complain about the design of the Pope's Palace. The decoration was so luxurious and elegant, but there was no automatic door. Every time you entered or exited, you had to push and pull it manually.
That's really beneath me!
Actually, Wang Hao misunderstood. The Pope's Palace is the highest-level building of the Spirit Hall, and most of the people who come and go here are high-level Soul Master. Even the Spirit Hall Knights who come and go to report matters are at least Soul Elder Venerables.
With the cultivation level of Soul Elder, even a support-type Soul Master could push open this door with the support of Soul Power.
In other words, this gate was not originally designed for ordinary people.
Unfortunately, in order to save resources, the clone that Wang Hao created was basically powerless, not much stronger than an ordinary person.
So now the question is how to get out.
"Don't have any more delusions, and don't come looking for me again, otherwise even if I don't lift a finger, many people will want your life."
With a wave of her hand, Bibi Dong unleashed a burst of Soul Power, pulling the door open. Her voice remained as cold as before, but her delicate body trembled slightly, clearly indicating that she was not at peace.
Without turning his head, Wang Hao strode out of the Pope's Palace and headed towards the main gate of the Spirit Hall, pondering his next plan as he walked.
It's clear that the Bibi Dong route is basically a dead end; we need to think of other options.
"Are we really going to go find that old schemer Qian Daoliu?"
With a furrowed brow, Wang Hao really didn't want to go looking for that old guy Qian Daoliu. He was a cunning old man who had lived for over a hundred years and was not someone who could be easily fooled, especially now that he didn't have much power.
His original target was Bibi Dong, after all, she was only twenty years old, and she had already become Soul Douluo at the age of twenty, which meant that she had spent almost all her time cultivating.
These cultivation nerds are the easiest to fool, much easier than Bibi Dong, who held power for many years at the beginning of the story.
Unfortunately, the memories left to him by that presumptuous guy from his past life were too blurry, leading to erroneous information and this blunder, rendering all the carefully planned schemes useless.
While Wang Hao was pondering his next plan, Bibi Dong, after Wang Hao left the Pope's Palace, dropped her scepter with a clatter to the ground, her perfect body slumped to her knees, and two lines of clear tears slid down her flawless face.
" Xiao Gang, I'm sorry, please don't resent me, I had no other choice!"
At this moment, Bibi Dong felt very helpless. Although she had become the Pope of the Spirit Hall, she had not been able to control the high-end forces of the Spirit Hall, especially the Titled Douluo.
Although her strength had increased dramatically thanks to the previous Martial Soul Mutation, giving her the ability to fight beyond her level, she had even personally killed a level 91 Titled Douluo wanted by the Spirit Hall half a month ago.
However, this power was far inferior to that of the entire Spirit Hall, and was simply insufficient to protect his beloved.
Therefore, for the sake of her lover's safety, she had no choice but to harden her heart and sever ties with him.
Ultimately, it's because she's too weak!
Wiping away the tears on her cheeks, Bibi Dong reached out and pulled the Blue Silver Grass Spider and the notes left by Wang Hao into her hand.
Bibi Dong gently placed the Blue Silver Grass spider ornament back into the brocade box and carefully stored it away. Then, she gently stroked the notebook, which was also a birthday gift from her beloved.
"That bookworm actually remembered my birthday!"
Gently stroking the notebook, tears welled up in Bibi Dong's eyes and slid down her cheeks once again.
During the two years she dated that bookworm, that jerk never paid attention to his own birthday. Unexpectedly, more than a year after they broke up, he actually gave her a birthday present, which was also the first gift he had ever given her.
"A bookworm is a bookworm. He doesn't understand romance at all. Who gives a girl something like this as a birthday gift?"
With a light laugh, Bibi Dong opened the notebook, looked at the neat but unfamiliar handwriting, and couldn't help but scoff.
"Ha! What a coward! It's one thing to sneak over to see me, but you don't even dare to admit your identity. Now you're using this unfamiliar handwriting to hide it. Are you afraid that if it's exposed, that tigress Liu Erlong will tear you apart?"
Bibi Dong instantly conjured up a series of images in her mind, but as she actually began to read what was recorded in the notebook, her expression became increasingly solemn, her reading speed slowed down, and she became more and more focused.
Sometimes they would even stop to frown and ponder, trying to understand the accuracy of what was recorded inside. Once they understood, their expressions became increasingly shocked, even incredulous.
Time passed slowly, and by the time she finished reading the thick notebook, the morning sun was already shining through the window onto Bibi Dong's perfect face.
" Xiao Gang!"
She closed the notebook, and once again, glistening tears slid down Bibi Dong's perfect face before she vanished in a flash.
Meanwhile, after spending the entire night, Wang Hao finally saw the gates of Spirit City.
There was no other way; the Pope's Palace was simply too far from the Spirit Hall's gate. With his physical abilities, which were only slightly stronger than an average person's, it was already quite impressive that he had managed to get here in one night.
"Sir, you..."
The Spirit Hall knights on duty at the main gate of the Spirit Hall were the same group as yesterday. The captain of the Spirit Hall knights who had led Wang Hao the way yesterday was about to greet him when he saw him coming.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, a flash of light appeared before his eyes, and the black-robed figure vanished without a trace in an instant, as if it had all been an illusion.
"Captain, what's wrong?"
The other knight beside him asked in confusion, glancing in the direction his captain was looking, but there was no one in sight.
"That gentleman from yesterday came by just now, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
The Spirit Hall knights were equally puzzled.
"There's no one there! Captain, you weren't so overworked by your wife last night, are you? Your eyes are playing tricks on you!"
Another knight chuckled softly, and the other knights couldn't help but laugh as well.
Being a gatekeeper here is quite boring, so this little joke is a nice way to lighten the mood.
Of course, they could only whisper among themselves, otherwise, being too presumptuous would damage the prestige of the Spirit Hall, and it would be terrible if some important figure saw them.
"Get lost! You're the one with kidney deficiency and blurred vision!"
He glared at Wang Hao with annoyance, then turned back and looked suspiciously at the spot where Wang Hao had just disappeared. After confirming that no one was there, he couldn't help but fall into self-doubt.
Could it be that Cuihua really overdid it last night?
No, I need to buy a few doses of medicine to replenish myself after get off work.
Instantly, the Knight Captain decided that after get off work he would secretly use his hidden stash of money to buy some tonics to nourish his body.
A man's masculinity must never be lost!
