Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

"I am but a lowly person, insignificant and powerless, yet the Holy Maiden has granted me this opportunity to serve. I am truly grateful beyond words. If the Holy Maiden commands me in the future, I will gladly go through fire and water without hesitation!"

Chen Yao's sworn loyalty sent chills down Bibi Dong's spine and gave her goosebumps.

Chapter 13 Even eating and taking

Bibi Dong finally understood why so many emperors in the history of the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire were indistinguishable between loyal and treacherous.

If Bibi Dong hadn't clearly known what a filthy and treacherous face lay beneath Chen Yao's righteous and eloquent facade, she probably would have been deceived by him as well.

Upon hearing Chen Yao's words, Qian Xunji saw through Chen Yao's true nature; he was nothing more than a sycophantic scoundrel.

He speaks in a grand and righteous manner, but in reality, if you really ask him to take the lead, he will make all sorts of excuses.

It's likely that Chen Yao happened to run into Dong'er in the city this time. He noticed that Dong'er had just broken up with her boyfriend and was feeling unsettled, so he flattered her and tried to please her in every way.

She successfully left a place in Dong'er's heart when he was emotionally unstable, thus winning his favor.

In the past, Qian Xunji would never have allowed someone like that to appear by Bibi Dong's side.

However, after the incident with Yu Xiaogang, Qian Xunji changed his mind.

Chen Yao seems to have good judgment. If he stays by Dong'er's side, he can also identify other people and prevent a repeat of the Yu Xiaogang incident.

Even if he couldn't stop them, he could have Chen Yao inform him in advance, so that things wouldn't turn out like this time, when Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong were almost ready to elope before he, the Pope, received the news and was left in this empty papal palace, raging in utter helplessness!

Thinking of this, Qian Xunji's sharp gaze towards Chen Yao softened, and she spoke.

"Since you have the good fortune to gain the Holy Maiden's favor, you shall stay by her side from now on."

"Yes! Thank you, Your Holiness. I will follow the Holy Maiden closely from now on and serve her faithfully!"

Chen Yao looked extremely excited and bowed deeply in gratitude.

Even though Bibi Dong was unwilling in her heart, she could only grit her teeth and swallow her anger, forcing a smile on her face as she spoke to Qian Xunji.

"Thank you, teacher..."

"Okay, go down now. Just rest and recuperate for a while. I will remove the seal on you after some time."

Qian Xunji waved his hand in acknowledgment. Clearly, even though Bibi Dong said that she had completely parted ways with Yu Xiaogang, he still had doubts in his heart and needed to observe for a period of time before he could make a decision to unseal Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong was not surprised to hear this. After thanking Qian Xunji again, she led Chen Yao out of the Papal Palace.

After leaving the palace, the two walked to a garden.

This garden is like a dazzling gem adorning the Spirit Hall. Plants rarely seen on the continent can be seen everywhere here, vying for beauty and refreshing the soul.

The cleverly arranged fountains and meticulously manicured flowerbeds complement each other, creating a captivating aesthetic.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg within the Spirit Hall; the rest of the hall is equally magnificent and beautiful.

It's completely different from the surrounding area.

Chen Yao used to come here often, and every time he was here, he felt refreshed and relaxed.

At that time, he was still a disciple of the Ghostly Demon.

However, after being abandoned by the ghosts, he never had the chance to enter again.

Now, returning to this familiar place after so long, a look of amazement still flashed in his eyes at the beautiful scenery that resembled a fairyland on earth.

"I wonder if I'll ever be destined to rule this place in this lifetime..."

A terrifying thought suddenly arose in Chen Yao's mind.

But then he shook his head, a self-deprecating look flashing across his face.

He is now just a lowly Soul Master struggling to survive, and his Soul Power has even dropped to level 11.

Furthermore, the plan is not entirely secure and still carries risks; there is no guarantee that unexpected events will not occur later.

The slightest mistake could lead to his gruesome death; he is now walking on thin ice.

Instead of fantasizing about these unrealistic things, it's better to make the most of each day, take advantage of Bibi Dong's power as a saintess, and indulge in pleasure, enjoying each day as it comes.

The two wandered through the garden for about half an hour before emerging and arriving at a beautiful, independent building.

This is the residence assigned to the Holy Maiden, Bibi Dong, by the Spirit Hall.

Upon entering and seeing the interior layout, Chen Yao was once again shocked by the inhuman extravagance of the Spirit Hall. Apart from being a bit small, the decorations inside were not much different from those of the Papal Palace.

Especially the magnificent bed that could almost accommodate 9 or 10 people.

Chen Yao simply couldn't imagine how lively and cheerful he would be if he woke up every day in the arms of two delicate and beautiful women in this bed!

Just how favored was Bibi Dong within the Spirit Hall?

Chen Yao felt a pang of jealousy. They were all human, so why was there such a huge difference between them?

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong watched as Chen Yao entered her room, jumping around and touching everything while muttering about how many gold soul coins each item was worth.

He acted as if he were the owner of the house.

Bibi Dong was so angry that her lungs felt like they were about to explode. This little house belonged to her alone; it was her sacred place. Even her teacher, Pope Qian Xunji, had never entered it. How could she allow Chen Yao to defile it like this? She immediately shouted out in rebuke.

"Enough! Chen Yao, since you yourself offered to be my attendant and take care of my daily life, I expect you to behave properly. A servant should act like a servant!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao turned around in surprise and looked at Bibi Dong with an expression as if he were looking at a fool.

"Rules? Your Holiness, have you lost your mind? My own daily life is taken care of by others, how could I possibly be qualified to take care of yours?"

Chen Yao wasn't lying. Although he wasn't particularly gifted, he had basically lived a life where everything was done for him.

In his early years, when he was still under the tutelage of the Ghostly Demons, he was cared for by maids on a daily basis. After being abandoned, he was put in charge of the miscellaneous servants on the outskirts of the Spirit Hall.

If he lived in the Spirit Hall, he would naturally have servants to attend to him.

If he were outside, he would usually wake up in brothels like Tianxianglou, where he would naturally have beauties who had shared a night of passion with him to serve him.

When did it become his turn to serve others?

Even a saint wouldn't do.

Therefore, Chen Yao scoffed at Bibi Dong's words, and then said...

"Holy Maiden, I'm just using your name to get by in the Spirit Hall. As for you, you'll remain the same as you were in the Spirit Hall before. Go find your maids if you need to, and don't count on me."

By the way, since I'm nominally to serve you personally, it wouldn't be reasonable for me to live too far away. I think that little courtyard across from your house is quite nice; no one lives there. Remember to ask His Holiness the Pope for permission for me.

Also, your jewelry is nice, very pretty, I like it very much, so I'll keep it.

Chen Yao ate and took some food, then, ignoring Bibi Dong's stunned expression, he swaggered out of Bibi Dong's room, carrying the glittering jewelry necklace in his hand.

Chapter 14 It’s hard to guard against domestic thieves

Late at night, a stumbling figure arrived at the door of Bibi Dong's residence and knocked.

Bibi Dong, who was about to go to sleep inside, frowned when she heard the door open. She was wondering who would be knocking on her door at this hour, but she still got up and opened it.

That's when I saw Chen Yao, his eyes glazed over, his face flushed, and his whole body reeking of alcohol.

Bibi Dong was startled when she saw this.

"why you?"

She hadn't expected Chen Yao to be so bold as to come looking for her at this time. Wasn't he afraid of being discovered?

However, Chen Yao ignored Bibi Dong's reaction, went straight into the house, closed the door behind him, then picked Bibi Dong up and carried her to her luxurious bed that could accommodate eight or nine people.

"Damn it! We're inside the Spirit Hall right now! How dare you!"

Chen Yao's actions instantly made Bibi Dong understand what he wanted to do, and she immediately began to struggle violently.

But Chen Yao remained unmoved and did as he pleased. He even shut Bibi Dong up because he thought she was too noisy.

Chen Yao had been looking forward to having a good time after selling Bibi Dong's jewelry today, with his pockets bulging.

He arrived at Tianxiang Pavilion as usual, but strangely, when he looked at the top courtesan on the stage playing the zither, he felt no longer the same excitement he used to have.

What came to mind was Bibi Dong's breathtakingly beautiful face and her alluring figure.

Comparing Bibi Dong and this top courtesan silently in his mind, Chen Yao found that the difference was beyond description, like comparing heaven and earth.

For a moment, he lost interest.

If he had never seen the light, he could have endured the darkness.

Bibi Dong really caused him a lot of trouble.

Frustrated, Chen Yao downed several large glasses of wine, but found that the nameless anger in his heart was still hard to quell. Finally, he mustered up his courage and went directly to the outside of Bibi Dong's courtyard.

However, having learned from Bibi Dong's previous escape from the Spirit Hall, Qian Xunji assigned two guards to watch over her and prevent her from escaping again.

However, Qian Xunji did not go too far. He simply set up a watchdog outside Bibi Dong's door to monitor her every move, just in case.

And it was precisely because of this that Chen Yao benefited. Bibi Dong's courtyard was extremely spacious and quite a distance from the main gate of the house. As long as Chen Yao entered the courtyard, the two guards would have little chance of noticing any noise coming from inside.

As for how to get past these two guards and enter the courtyard, that's even simpler; they are just two Great Soul Masters with strength around level 23-25.

Perhaps Qian Xunji thought that it would be easy for these two Great Soul Masters to guard Bibi Dong, whose strength was now sealed, but Chen Yao, the owner of the Dark Martial Soul, with the cover of night, would find it much easier to break through their defenses without them even noticing.

In this way, Chen Yao entered the courtyard without anyone noticing, quietly arrived at Bibi Dong's residence, and knocked on the door.

That's how the scene just now happened.

At this moment, Bibi Dong felt extremely resentful when she thought about how Chen Yao would not let her go after returning to the Spirit Hall and would commit violence against her in her beloved little house.

Despite her inner resistance, her body gradually gave up resisting and even subconsciously yielded. As her body temperature rose, her beautiful eyes gradually became hazy.

She's probably already used to it...

……

The next day.

Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, feeling aches and weakness all over her body, as if she had been repeatedly run over by a carriage full of goods the night before.

"Beasts...livestock..."

Bibi Dong threw back the covers, looked at the fresh, bright red wounds on her body, her face darkened, gritted her teeth, and weakly cursed, "I don't know what got into Chen Yao yesterday, he's even more crazy than usual."
