Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 29: A Little Bit Fooled of Yourself
On a sunny day in Wuhun City, Xia Yu lay on a new rocking chair, a straw hat covering his face, his eyes closed as he felt the warmth of the sun.

He was starting to like the job. The members of the Spirit Hall team were all very well-mannered and spoke nicely. Plus, they had known each other since childhood, so they never made things difficult for him.

Aside from being located in the most dangerous villain's stronghold in Douluo Continent, making it easy for innocent bystanders to be affected, it has no major drawbacks.

"Xia Yu! Have you been lying here since this morning?"

Sweating profusely, Xie Yue approached, clearly having been thoroughly trained by his younger sister, Hu Liena.

Xia Yu picked up the hat from her face, glanced at him, and lay back down, casually replying, "Yeah, aren't you?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Yue blushed deeply, whether from embarrassment or something else, and pointed at Xia Yu with trembling hands.

"I trained intensely all morning, and you, on the other hand, lay around all morning."

"But someone else is doing my job."

Pointing to the professional team taking care of the trainees, Xia Yu's voice was languid, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

Xie Yue's face was full of grief and indignation. He pulled Xia Yu up, made him look at him, and questioned him.

"How come you live such a comfortable life?"

"Xia Yu, listen to your brother's advice, don't be too hard on yourself."

Envy blinded him; compared to Xia Yu, what difference was there between his life and being in prison?

Xia Yu slapped Xie Yue's hand away and said indifferently, "Compared to you, I'm a complete waste. How can you use your own expectations to force me to do this?"

"I"

Xie Yue was speechless for a moment, his neck bulging from Xia Yu's words.

"Xie Yue, where did you run off to? Come back and continue practicing your Martial Soul Fusion Technique!"

Hu Liena's voice was sharp and piercing. Hearing this, Xia Yu's smile grew even brighter, while Xie Yue was in great pain.

Training alone won't make a person too uncomfortable, but what if that person's best friend is lying next to them enjoying life?

Jealousy will expose the true nature of anyone who is good at enduring.

"Damn it, I wish I could be a useless person too."

With that, Xie Yue turned and walked away dejectedly.

"Evil Moon!"

Xia Yu called out to him.

"what?"

Xie Yue turned around and saw Xia Yu pull out a wine glass filled with orange juice from somewhere, and while drinking it, he gestured at him.

He finally couldn't hold back any longer. He barely suppressed the urge to kick Xia Yu over and ran away shouting.

"I hate you!"

After Xie Yue ran away, Xia Yu chuckled. This was a rare spice in his otherwise mundane life.

He took out his leave application form. Although he didn't have much to do here, he still had to ask the person in charge for leave if he wanted to go out.

Otherwise, if you disappear for a few days, people will think you've vanished.

After quickly filling in all the information, Xia Yu wrote down the last sentence.

Reason for application: My soul power has reached its limit, and I plan to go out to hunt for soul rings.

Even though he spent his days eating and drinking and occasionally cultivating, Xia Yu's soul power had unknowingly reached level eighty. This trip was to obtain his eighth soul ring.

"Okay, it's finished!"

"What did you finish writing?"

A voice came from behind him, startling Xia Yu. He was now starting to wish he had a passive soul skill that could sense his surroundings within 200 meters. Why did Bibi Dong always appear like a ghost?

Bibi Dong was bending over, looking down at the form in Xia Yu's hand.

The black dress made her already fair skin appear even whiter, almost reflecting the sunlight. The V-neck design further accentuated the deep cleavage, making it impossible to look away.

Her long, purplish hair was neatly styled into a bun at the back of her head, with stray strands secured behind her ears with inconspicuous purple leaf-shaped hair clips. Xia Yu felt that Bibi Dong now seemed less like Bibi Dong and more like a gentle, married woman.

"Xia Yu, are you going to hunt for spirit rings?"

Bibi Dong almost blurted out the word "son-in-law," but then remembered that it happened in a simulation and quickly changed her mind.

'Female Xia Yu?'

Xia Yu repeated these three words in his mind, but he didn't understand what Bibi Dong meant, so he pretended to be respectful and replied.

"Yes, I just reached level 30 a few days ago, so I thought I'd take two days off to hunt for a soul ring."

Bibi Dong curled her lips. Although she couldn't tell exactly what Xia Yu's soul power level was, the information from the simulation told her that it was definitely more than level 30.

Her smile was gentle, like an elder asking, "Have you found a team of Soul Masters to help you hunt Soul Beasts?"

"Find it."

"It's alright if you find it. I happen to have something to do in the Star Dou Great Forest. How about I take you there?"

Before Xia Yu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Bibi Dong. Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, he had only one thought in his mind.

Are we that close?

Although he didn't know what Bibi Dong was planning, Xia Yu naturally didn't want to go to the Star Dou Great Forest alone with her, so he quickly refused.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Holiness. I have already spoken with the team I commissioned, and the deposit has already been paid. There is no need to delay Your Holiness's business."

Xia Yu had thought it would be troublesome, but Bibi Dong just glanced at him and nodded, letting the matter drop.

After saying that, Xia Yu thought Bibi Dong would leave immediately, but to his surprise, she turned her gaze to the new rocking chair that Xie Yue had given him.

"Uh, I remember this wasn't mine."

When Xia Yu saw that she still wasn't leaving, and even started to smash the rocking chair that Xia Yu had broken a few days earlier, the smile on her face almost froze.

"Haha, this is a new one that Xie Yue bought a few days ago. If you'd like to sit down, please do. How about I go and call Hu Liena over for you?"

Bibi Dong didn't care about Xia Yu's increasingly awkward expression. She neither shook her head nor nodded, and began to examine Xia Yu while propping her face up with her hand.

Seeing the crazy woman start scanning him up and down, Xia Yu felt goosebumps rising on his skin.

He cursed inwardly: 'Even if I'm handsome, you don't have to stare at me like that. Why don't you go find your Yu Xiaogang (a famous Chinese comedian)?'

"You grew up in the Spirit Hall's orphanage?"

When Xia Yu heard Bibi Dong's words, he felt that she really just said whatever came to mind.

"Yes, I was adopted by the Spirit Hall when I was seven years old."

What do you think of life at the orphanage?

Although Xia Yu really wanted to curse Bibi Dong, he found it hard to deny that the Spirit Hall's orphanage was indeed quite good to them, the children who had become orphans for various reasons.

"It's great, the standard of living is very good, and Aunt Liu treats us just like she would her own children."

"Do you think there's anything that needs improvement?"

"It seems like Bibi Dong is going to do charity work," Xia Yu thought to himself.

So he said, "You can ask Aunt Liu. She's the head of the welfare home. She'd know more than us, the people being cared for, wouldn't she?"

"That's true. I do intend to expand the scale of the welfare home so that children who have lost their parents can still have a home, but I don't know where to start for the time being."

Bibi Dong spoke in a calm tone, but her eyes kept glancing at Xia Yu's face, observing his expression.

"Your Majesty is truly kind-hearted. I imagine that many more children will be spared from the suffering of hunger and cold."

Xia Yu's words were sincere; Bibi Dong's words did indeed make him look at her in a new light.

Plus, it would also help Aunt Liu get some benefits, so why not? Xia Yu changed his previous attitude, and the polite smile on his face began to become genuine.

Xia Yu's favorability: 5 + 15 = 20.
