Bibi Dong stared at the flickering flames, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the scepter. She had to admit that the boy's analysis was incisive, every rebuttal hitting the nail on the head, even more insightful than her own thinking over the years.
A sly glint suddenly flashed in Huo Yuhao's eyes, and he deliberately dragged out his words: "Speaking of which, that Pope Bibi Dong was also a fool. She openly and secretly helped Yu Xiaogang, giving him the illusion that he was very powerful."
"--If it weren't for Bibi Dong's help, would he really have thought he invented those things himself?"
"Insolence!" Bibi Dong suddenly looked up, a cold glint flashing in her eyes. Her Soul Power surged uncontrollably, causing rubble to fall from the cave walls. She slammed her scepter heavily on the ground with a dull thud. "How dare you insult the Pope?"
Huo Yuhao calmly flipped the grilled fish, not even lifting his eyelids. "So? What do you want?" He slowly took a bite of the fish. " The Pope shouldn't have anything to do with you, right? What I say about her is none of your business. Besides, I'm just giving an objective evaluation."
A brief silence fell over the cave, broken only by the crackling of the burning firewood. The fluctuations of Soul Power around Bibi Dong gradually subsided, and she chuckled self-deprecatingly, "You're... not wrong." Her voice suddenly deepened, " Bibi Dong really is a fool."
Huo Yuhao keenly noticed the change in her tone and gave her a thoughtful look. "Everything has two sides. It's just that Bibi Dong might be too fixated on matters of the heart. Choosing the wrong person always comes at a price."
"After that, Yu Xiaogang found another woman named Liu Erlong, only to discover that Liu Erlong was actually his cousin. This made things even more interesting. Yu Xiaogang was rather timid to begin with, so he abandoned her."
"Therefore, there is factual basis to say that he is a good-for-nothing, and no matter how much you try to cover it up, you can't hide it. Ordinary people don't know this kind of information, but my teacher taught me how to gather information, and this kind of information is probably not common even within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
Looking at the young man before her, Bibi Dong couldn't help but think, "Such ability, such wisdom—aside from not having seen him in action, he's clearly a super genius. I remember he said he was Soul Ancestor; it's rare to see someone of his age become Soul Ancestor."
Subsequently,
Bibi Dong stared blankly at the cave ceiling. A bitter thought crossed her mind: Yes, I was blind; I chose the wrong person...
"So what's your Bibi Dong?" she suddenly asked, her voice carrying an urgency she herself didn't realize.
Huo Yuhao pondered seriously for a moment, "She's a very capable woman." He counted on his fingers, "Being able to become the female Pope of the Pope's Hall already proves her strength. The policies she implements are also beneficial to the country and its people, giving ordinary people the opportunity to become Soul Master, and providing Soul Master with better treatment and subsidies."
At this point, a feigned genuine admiration flickered in his eyes, "In the history of the Soul Master World, she absolutely deserves to be called an epoch-making leader."
In the firelight, Bibi Dong's lips unconsciously curved into a slight smile. This was the first time in many years that someone had evaluated her so objectively—recognizing both her faults and her achievements.
The night was deep, and only the faint light of the campfire flickered inside the cave, illuminating Huo Yuhao's calm face. He sat cross-legged, but his mind was constantly alert to any movement outside.
The Star Dou Great Forest was not peaceful at night; the occasional low growls of Soul Beast could be heard from afar, but they were all perfectly masked by his Simulation Soul Skill.
He narrowed his eyes slightly. His Soul Skill, Simulation aura, was enough to keep those two from being detected. However, the next step of the plan needed to begin. To gain Bibi Dong's complete trust, this Soul Skill of Simulation aura needed to malfunction...
In this way, the nearby Soul Beast will sense Bibi Dong's presence and return to inform the two Soul Beast, Niu Tian and Tai Tan.
Although he specifically instructed Bibi Dong not to go out casually, and now most of the Soul Beast outside are looking for her, this is only a superficial phenomenon.
"They should come knocking on our door tomorrow." Huo Yuhao's lips curled slightly as he pondered. He had already instructed Bibi Dong not to go out, but his real purpose was to make the Soul Beast discover her on their own initiative.
In this way, he can both create a crisis and gain her trust by acting as her protector. And now all he needs to do is stay by her side. That would be perfect.
However, just as he was waiting for the plan to proceed, a faint groan interrupted his thoughts.
"No... don't come any closer..."
Huo Yuhao frowned and turned his gaze to Bibi Dong, who was lying beside the stone wall. Her breathing was rapid, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her face was so pale that it was almost transparent. Her slender fingers tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, as if she were resisting some terrible dream.
"Nightmare?" he muttered to himself, but quickly sensed something was wrong. He reached out and gently touched her forehead; the warmth from his fingertips made his pupils shrink—"So hot! She has a fever?"
This isn't right. Her wounds were clearly treated properly, and she's still nourished by life force; it's impossible for her to suddenly worsen. Unless...
"Damn it!" Huo Yuhao suddenly realized the problem. "Although the wound is healing, it doesn't mean it's completely gone. Damn, I really planted a landmine for myself. Plus, she's emotionally traumatized and her immune system is weakened..." He gritted his teeth, "Do I really have to feed her blood again?"
But he quickly dismissed the idea. Bibi Dong's abnormality didn't seem like a simple recurrence of her injuries; it was more like some kind of mental breakdown. Her brows were furrowed, and her lips trembled slightly, as if she were struggling in a nightmare.
"I hope nothing happens at this time..." Huo Yuhao cursed inwardly. "I haven't even finished using the Spirit Hall's power yet. If she dies, won't I be the one to take the blame?"
"Damn it, please don't die here! We haven't even allied ourselves with the Spirit Hall Spirit Hall yet, but we don't want to make enemies with them first!"
He took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing his agitation. "She still has value; she can't die."
So he slowly leaned down, gently placing his palm on her forehead, and a wisp of gentle spiritual energy slowly seeped in, trying to soothe her confused consciousness.
"Whatever you saw in your dream... now, it's time to wake up."
This attempt was unsuccessful.
Huo Yuhao slowly said, "Is it useless? We can determine that it's a psychological problem, but what exactly is it? And how should we solve it?"
Or rather, Huo Yuhao realized something.
Rakshasa God
Almost at the same time
Electrolux's voice echoed in Huo Yuhao's Sea of Consciousness, deep and solemn:
" Yuhao, your judgment is correct... Deep within her soul, an extremely dense 'divine malevolence' Entanglement."
The voice paused, as if examining the twisted power within Bibi Dong's body.
"This malevolent intent is not ordinary spiritual corruption, but rather the malevolence originating from a deity—it lurks like a venomous snake deep within her consciousness, constantly gnawing at her sanity. If direct intervention is not possible to penetrate her consciousness, then perhaps... she can only rely on her own will to fight against it."
Huo Yuhao's gaze darkened as he stared at Bibi Dong's pale face. Her eyelashes trembled slightly, and cold sweat beaded on her forehead; she was clearly struggling against some invisible terror.
"Enter her consciousness?" he repeated in a low voice, then a confident smile appeared on his lips.
"Teacher, this shouldn't be difficult for me. I already possess a Godhood position within me, and although it's not fully restored, using my divine soul power to enter her consciousness is extremely simple."
He paused slightly, a sly glint in his eyes.
"But... even if I really have no other choice, you must have left me a backup plan, right?"
Within the Sea of Consciousness, Electrolux's laughter carried a hint of helplessness and indulgence.
"You little guy is getting smarter and smarter (chicken thief)." The old voice was filled with emotion. "Go ahead, if you delay any longer, this girl may not be able to hold on anymore."
Huo Yuhao no longer hesitated, his eyes suddenly flashing with a dazzling gold. He reached out, his fingertips gently touching Bibi Dong's brow, and a wisp of pure divine soul power, like a gentle stream, quietly seeped into her spiritual world...
(Dreamscape: The Secret Chamber of the Spirit Hall )
Darkness enveloped the cold hall, candlelight flickering and casting distorted shadows. The young girl, Bibi Dong, huddled in a corner, her slender fingers gripping the hem of her skirt tightly, her knuckles white from the force. Her pupils trembled, reflecting the figure slowly approaching—
"No... don't come any closer..."
The sound squeezed out of his throat was almost broken, but the other person was still getting closer.
That was Qian Xunji.
No, at this moment he was more like a ravenous beast, his eyes burning with twisted desire, and a nauseating smile on his lips.
His Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul unfolded behind him, but those wings, which should have been sacred, resembled rotting crow wings in the dim light, exuding a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Kill him... kill him... kill..."
A malevolent voice echoed in her mind, Entanglement her reason like a venomous snake. It was the whisper of the Rakshasa God, who, in moments of despair, always "generously" offered her the darkest answers.
But right now, she's just a powerless young girl.
Qian Xunji's shadow loomed over her; his fingers gripped her shoulders like iron clamps, the excruciating pain almost suffocating her. Her face was deathly pale, her eyes filled with nothing but despair.
Any girl facing this scene would probably completely break down.
However, just as the beast was about to succeed—
"Boom--!!!"
A dazzling seven-colored divine light suddenly tore through the darkness, descending like divine punishment!
Qian Xunji smile froze on his face. He suddenly looked up and saw a figure approaching on light—
That was a knight.
He was clad in a black robe and held a longsword that shimmered with seven-colored light. Wherever the sword pointed, even the space itself trembled! Qian Xunji's Martial Soul instinctively retreated, and the phantom of the Six-Winged Angel twisted in the light, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
What's even more astonishing is that this knight has long, deep blue hair like the ocean, a face as handsome as a god, dashing and dignified, yet his eyes are as cold as blades.
-- Huo Yuhao.
At this moment, he no longer pretended, but descended here in his true form. Since this is a spiritual world, there is no need for him to hide his power any longer.
Bibi Dong stared blankly at the figure, her pale lips trembling slightly.
--She seemed to see... a god (maybe).
Huo Yuhao's gaze swept over Qian Xunji's Martial Soul, and a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth.
"So, this is the root cause of the 'symptom'..."
He slowly raised his sword, pointing it directly at the so-called "angel," his voice cold and sarcastic.
"Angels, you are inherently holy, it's such a pity that in our eyes now—"
"You're no different from a demon."
P. S.: Huo Yuhao, the God of Emotion, did not disappear into the river of time; he was merely in a fragmented state, similar to a natal Gu worm. As his cultivation recovered within his body, it also began to recover.
Huo Yuhao was originally in control of his emotions. In this time and space, it was not common for Huo Yuhao to use the power of his emotions, and it was something only he could control.
Angels and demons are now on earth... Let's see how the Secret Chamber Douluo is defeated by Huo Yuhao, the disciple of Electrolux, the successor of the Necromancer Saint, the lover of the Snow Empress, one of the Three Heavenly Kings of the Far North, the companion of the Imperial Beast Di Qiu'er, the God of Emotions, the Spirit Ice Douluo, the Marshal of the Central Altar, and the successor of the Great God of the Three Altars Sea Gathering.
