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

Chapter 50 Ordinary People
Before making this show of defiance, Xia Yu had already prepared to be attacked by Bibi Dong at any time, and the Myriad Transformations Mask and the Qilin Martial Soul were also hidden in his body, ready to be unleashed.

One dealt with the soul power attack, and the other dealt with the divine power attack. After he dodged the first round of attacks, he hid himself and went to take Aunt Liu away. He then ran all the way to where Xiao Hei was, and from then on, he was free to roam the world.

To his surprise, Bibi Dong not only didn't attack him, but instead grabbed his Cold Moon Sword.

Her slender, long fingers gently caressed the sword, yet the surging sword energy, as radiant as moonlight, left not a single mark on her beautifully slender hand.

In an instant, she had thoroughly grasped the characteristics of the Cold Moon Sword.

"You also possess twin martial souls?"

Bibi Dong's words left Xia Yu somewhat puzzled. What happened to the madwoman and the antisocial personality she was supposed to be?

How can someone remain so calm when they themselves are threatening others?
Xia Yu took a step back, his defenses remaining perfectly intact; he found this utterly strange.

"Hey, you still haven't answered me."

Bibi Dong seemed to transform back into the older sister who appeared at the Spirit Hall team's training base, trying to gently grasp Xia Yu's hand, but was repelled by the appearance of the Myriad Transformations Mask.

Xia Yu quickly retreated, and the Cold Moon Sword also vanished in an instant.

"It seems to be a twin martial soul."

Despite the stinging pain in her fingers, she smiled.

Bibi Dong felt that there was another kindred spirit in the world. Over the years, besides herself and Tang San who always appeared in the simulator, she had met another Soul Master with twin martial souls.

Xia Yu felt a chill run down his spine. What on earth was going on?

If Bibi Dong had really given him a couple of hard blows, he might not have been as helpless as he is now, but facing Bibi Dong who seemed to be doing something he didn't know, Xia Yu was genuinely flustered.

"Xia Yu, you're asking me what I want to use to win you over?"

Xia Yu waited for Bibi Dong to say something next, but seeing that she didn't speak for a long time and even started to wink at him, he finally responded speechlessly.

"Ah."

Bibi Dong received the signal and opened her arms again, as if embracing the sun sculpture on the ceiling of the Papal Palace.

"My answer is that you can get everything you want, as long as you are willing to become a true member of the Spirit Hall."

Xia Yu was already thinking of leaving; this scene was just like a pyramid scheme.

"I do not want to."

"Oh, then let's go."

Bibi Dong nodded, straightened her somewhat disheveled robe, and sat down again.

"what?"

"You what?"

Xia Yu was somewhat disappointed, feeling that this was completely different from what she had imagined.

Normally, he shouldn't first demonstrate his power, then be hunted down by Bibi Dong, and only begin to recruit her after Bibi Dong discovers his strength.

If I refuse again, then Bibi Dong will bring up Aunt Liu to threaten me.

After that, he became enemies with the Spirit Hall and rose to become the strongest in the world through repeated pursuits.

Why isn't Bibi Dong following the usual pattern?

"Since you don't want to be a part of the Spirit Hall, then don't stay in our Spirit City. With such great power, it's hard for me not to suspect that you are a spy sent by another force."

Bibi Dong crossed her legs and looked at Xia Yu, who was already lost in confusion, with a half-smile.

Do I really have to leave?

Xia Yu had long wanted to go to Dragon City to hunt soul beasts from the far north, but hearing this made him feel uneasy.

"We must go!"

Bibi Dong's tone was certain.

"What if I don't leave?"

Xia Yu's rebellious streak kicked in, and he spoke loudly.

"Then why don't you just stay here? With that trick you used at the beginning, I can't catch you."

Bibi Dong was secretly overjoyed; it was actually quite amusing to hear Xia Yu talk like that, especially with his expression. "Oh."

Xia Yu's pent-up anger was dissipated again. He felt like a martial arts master who had been practicing for twenty years in the deep mountains, only to encounter bandits with guns as soon as he came out of the mountains. He couldn't fight them, and he couldn't run away. He had a lot of martial arts skills but nowhere to use them.

He turned and left, somewhat disappointed.

The next moment, he heard Bibi Dong call out to him. Xia Yu turned around with some surprise, thinking that Bibi Dong had changed her mind. When the nine-colored light on his body shone again, he saw Bibi Dong reach out her hand to him.

"You have to pay for the damage to the Papal Palace's property."

Bibi Dong was standing on the steps beneath the high seat, where the hole pierced by the Cold Moon Sword still remained.

"Something doesn't seem right!"

Xia Yu finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing Bibi Dong's question, Xia Yu quickly walked up to her.

"Normally, shouldn't you start by hitting first, then try to reason with them, and then continue hitting them?"

"As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to treat someone who has been hiding for so many years like this?"

Seeing Xia Yu's appearance, Bibi Dong suddenly spoke.

"Have you gone crazy from reading too many novels?"

Xia Yu felt as if he had been pierced by a thousand arrows. Before he could refute, Bibi Dong added another sentence.

"You really think everything is like the stories and novels made up on the street? You're so naive."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she covered her mouth and laughed.

Xia Yu's face turned red, his fists clenched tightly, wishing he could punch Bibi Dong, who was wearing a mocking smile, in the face.

Why do you think I'd start hunting you down at the slightest provocation?

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Xia Yu instinctively wanted to say that this was exactly the kind of person she was, but after thinking about it, she remained silent.

You don't really think I'm that kind of person, do you?

Xia Yu was startled, thinking that Bibi Dong could read minds.

"We haven't met more than a few times, have we? How can you judge what kind of person I am based on that?"

Bibi Dong chuckled, her laughter dripping with sarcasm.

"As the leader of a powerful force, I always have to conduct some investigations before I do anything. The reason I haven't dealt with you is simply because my intelligence organization has found that you are not a so-called spy or someone with malicious intentions."

Xia Yu quipped, "What if the investigation turns out to be fake?"

Bibi Dong laughed even harder, saying, "My intelligence sources can't be wrong!"

Because her intelligence comes from a future that hasn't happened yet, if she can hide it once, what about two or three simulations?

If one harbors ill intentions, it is impossible to perfectly disguise oneself in repeated simulations.

"You're way too confident."

Xia Yu didn't know where Bibi Dong's confidence came from, but seeing how certain she was, he could only offer empty words.

"Then let me ask you, would you do something bad to the Spirit Hall, where you grew up, and the people living here, just because of the so-called benefits promised by other forces?"

Xia Yu didn't answer, but looking at Bibi Dong's increasingly bright smile, he felt as if he had been seen through.

A fireplace, hidden somewhere in the main hall, provided warmth that crept over his body, and a strange feeling began to sprout in his heart.

He was just an ordinary person, an ordinary person who received a modern education. Even if he had transmigrated and possessed talents and powers far beyond those of ordinary people, he would not become someone who would indiscriminately kill innocent people for the sake of his own path.

If a person loses his conscience, what difference is there between him and the wild beasts that Xia Yu has hunted over the years?
Bibi Dong wanted to pat Xia Yu on the shoulder, but the ever-changing mask blocked her way. She sighed softly, "I don't expect you to join the Spirit Hall, but at least when this place you've watched grow up is experiencing disaster, I hope you can lend a helping hand as much as possible."

Seeing Xia Yu deep in thought, Bibi Dong thought she had it all figured out, but the next moment, she saw Xia Yu looking at her with a strange tone.

"Is this what you've been trying to achieve after acting for so long?"
