[Bibi Dong found unexpected common ground with Yu Xiaogang.]
[After several pleasant conversations, she gradually lowered her guard and began telling him about the troubles weighing on her heart.]
[When Yu Xiaogang realized that Bibi Dong was willing to share her feelings with him, he was instantly overjoyed.]
[To him, this meant they had already become close friends. More importantly, his plan to use her status to gain access to the Spirit Hall library was progressing smoothly.]
[Thus, seizing the opportunity, Yu Xiaogang expanded the conversation further and further.]
[Perhaps his natural talent was mediocre. Perhaps he often overestimated his own intelligence.]
[But one thing could not be denied.]
[Yu Xiaogang had read many books.]
[Even if he had not fully understood everything he read, the sheer volume of his reading gave him a wide range of topics and polished speaking skills.]
[He could speak eloquently, layering words in a way that sounded thoughtful and profound.]
[Under his encouragement, the pressure in Bibi Dong's heart gradually eased.]
[At the same time, Yu Xiaogang began explaining many of the theories he had researched and compiled.]
[It had to be said—Bibi Dong was an excellent listener.]
[Whenever Yu Xiaogang spoke, she listened seriously, never interrupting, never mocking him, and always showing genuine interest.]
[In front of her, Yu Xiaogang constantly found a sense of satisfaction he had never known before.]
[If nothing else, just seeing Bibi Dong's attentive expression while he discussed his theories filled him with pride.]
[In the past, whenever he tried to present his theories within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the reactions had always been the same.]
[Ordinary Spirit Masters dismissed him.]
[The clan elders looked at him with contempt.]
[Even his own father treated his ideas as laughable nonsense.]
[Now, for the first time, he had met someone willing to listen sincerely and even respond positively.]
[Naturally, Yu Xiaogang poured out everything he knew.]
[And so, the two continued meeting for a long time.]
[During that period, as Bibi Dong spent more time with Yu Xiaogang, she unconsciously developed favorable feelings toward him.]
[Eventually, those feelings deepened into love.]
[Yu Xiaogang also noticed the change in her attitude.]
[A peerless genius… and an incomparably beautiful woman at that… had fallen in love with him.]
[That discovery greatly satisfied his vanity.]
[Therefore, he accepted Bibi Dong's feelings without hesitation.]
[Before long, the two officially entered a passionate romance.]
White World, Spirit Hall
"Huh?"
Hu Liena stared blankly at the heavenly screen, unable to process what she had just witnessed.
"They… fell in love just like that?"
She was stunned.
Ever since becoming Bibi Dong's disciple, Hu Liena had once curiously asked how her teacher had ended up with Dragon God His Eminence in their world.
From Bibi Dong's own retelling, she had heard a legendary love story filled with hardship, separation, trials, and perseverance before reaching a happy ending.
Because of that, Hu Liena had always believed love was something rare and difficult.
Something that required sacrifice.
Something hard-won.
But what was this?
On the heavenly screen, they had simply chatted a few times…
And then fallen in love?
Hu Liena looked utterly confused.
Teacher over there was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
Yet after hearing a few shallow theories from Yu Xiaogang, she had completely fallen for him?
Was she blind?
Hu Liena could not understand it at all.
So she turned to look at the two people sitting nearby.
At that moment, the two involved parties were equally speechless.
Yu Xiaogang glanced sideways at Bibi Dong while trying hard not to laugh.
"See?"
"I told you already."
"You definitely have a love brain."
"Look at the screen—they fell in love after just a few conversations."
"I…"
Bibi Dong opened her mouth to refute him.
But the heavenly curtain had already displayed everything clearly.
She wanted to argue, but no words came out.
After struggling for a few seconds, she finally gave up.
"So what if I'm love-brained?"
She stood up with her hands on her hips and glared at him proudly.
"I'm sticking with you for the rest of my life, whether you like it or not!"
"Besides, I only become like this for you."
"With someone as amazing as me loving you so deeply, shouldn't you be grateful?"
Yu Xiaogang could no longer hold back his smile.
"Of course I'm satisfied."
He reached out, pulled Bibi Dong into his arms, and gently hugged her.
"I've always said you're love-brained."
"But I never said I disliked it."
Bibi Dong snorted, but the corners of her lips rose slightly.
The atmosphere around them instantly turned sweet enough to make others uncomfortable.
Hu Liena frowned deeply.
She stood up at once and walked away from the couple.
The overwhelming scent of affection was too much to endure.
She moved over to where Qian Daoliu and the others were seated.
"High Priest," she said helplessly, "how many years has it been already?"
"How are they still this lovey-dovey?"
Qian Daoliu snorted and spread his hands.
"Hmph. Who knows?"
"Some people never get tired of it."
Nearby, Gold Crocodile Douluo, who had been quietly watching the heavenly curtain, suddenly spoke.
"Speaking of which…"
"What kind of ending do you think the Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang from that parallel world will have?"
"It shouldn't be the same as ours, right?"
Qian Daoliu's expression turned serious.
"That's impossible."
"Although the worlds differ, most of the major circumstances remain the same. The only major variable is Xiao Gang himself."
He paused, then coldly added:
"With Qian Xunji's personality, there is no chance he would allow Bibi Dong to be with someone like Yu Xiaogang."
"Especially not a useless outsider who doesn't even belong to Spirit Hall."
Not to mention Qian Xunji—
Even if it were Qian Daoliu himself, or the leader of any great power, they would never approve such a match.
The Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall was no ordinary woman.
She represented the future of the organization.
Her marriage could affect power balance, alliances, prestige, and succession.
How could she be allowed to casually fall for an outsider?
[The heavenly video continued…]
[As time passed, Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang's feelings deepened further.]
[Their romance became increasingly passionate.]
[Eventually, Yu Xiaogang proposed that Bibi Dong help him gain access to higher-level restricted books within Spirit Hall's archives.]
[Without the slightest hesitation, Bibi Dong agreed.]
[Through her influence, Yu Xiaogang was finally able to read the core internal materials of Spirit Hall.]
[While studying those records, he continued flirting with Bibi Dong and enjoying their private moments together.]
[Days passed in this manner.]
[At last, Bibi Dong's unusual behavior was noticed by others.]
Supreme Pontiff Palace
Bang!
A thunderous crash echoed through the grand office.
Qian Xunji slammed his hand onto the desk so hard that cracks spread through the wood.
"What did you just say?!"
His face was twisted with fury.
Standing beside him, Dragon Scale Douluo and Iron Wall Douluo were equally stunned.
The kneeling subordinate trembled violently.
"I-It's just…"
"The Holy Maiden has been getting too close to Yu Xiaogang recently…"
"If our observations are correct…"
"They seem to have developed feelings for one another."
The man's voice shook more with every word.
He truly feared he would be killed on the spot.
Qian Xunji's rage exploded instantly.
"Useless trash!"
"I ordered you to monitor him, and this is how you do it?"
"The Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall has practically been stolen right under your noses!"
Golden light burst from his hand like a blade.
The subordinate was struck in the chest and blasted backward through the palace doors.
He crashed outside and lost consciousness immediately.
Yet in the final instant before fainting, one thought crossed his mind:
At least I survived this time.
Iron Wall Douluo stepped forward.
"Your Holiness, shall I drive that boy out immediately?"
Dragon Scale Douluo remained silent, still in disbelief.
He knew Yu Xiaogang's background well.
The son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan leader.
Yet because of his poor talent, his father had paid a favor just to secure him a chance to study in Spirit City.
And instead of focusing on cultivation or improving himself—
He had used the opportunity to seduce Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden.
Dragon Scale Douluo inwardly sneered.
You lack talent.
You lack status.
You rely on family connections to survive.
Yet you still dare to dream so high?
Was the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall someone trash like you could covet?
Qian Xunji slowly rose from his seat.
His face was frighteningly dark.
"Bring Yu Xiaogang to me."
Every person present felt a chill run through their bodies.
Because they all knew—
The Pope was truly enraged this time.
And once Qian Xunji was enraged…
Someone would pay the price.
