Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

If he weren't in such a hurry to deliver the message, he would have loved to indulge in his decadence a little longer.

However, Chen Yao felt that something was missing at this moment, but he couldn't remember it no matter what he did.

"asshole…"

Bibi Dong felt Chen Yao's burning gaze and quickly looked down, only to see her own ugly state. She was so angry that she almost fainted, and without thinking, she started to curse.

Hearing Bibi Dong's cursing, Chen Yao was not angry at all. Instead, his eyes lit up. He remembered!

Then he quickly produced a ball-shaped object with a rope attached and, to Bibi Dong's horrified gaze, stuffed it into her mouth.

"Snap, snap, that's perfect!"

Chen Yao clapped his hands, looked at Bibi Dong whose eyes were blazing with fire, whose face was contorted, and who could only whimper incessantly, and smiled with satisfaction. Then he simply walked out of the room.

"Ok?"

After walking into the corridor and closing the door, Chen Yao suddenly frowned.

His martial soul is an energy martial soul, so he is particularly sensitive to the aura of soul power.

He could sense that outside the door, besides his soul power, there was a lingering aura of a soul master that did not belong to him.

However, this aura was not strong, even weaker than his.

"So, Yu Xiaogang didn't just not come last night? Instead, he was eavesdropping outside the door?"

Chen Yao stroked his chin, deep in thought.

"Luckily, I have a good habit of locking the door, otherwise Yu Xiaogang would have taken advantage of me."

Chen Yao thought shamelessly, then put Yu Xiaogang out of his mind and went downstairs to deliver the letter.

……

Inside the magnificent palace, a man sat high on a throne.

The man was dressed in a pure white, exquisite robe. He had a handsome face and a head of slightly wavy golden hair that reached his waist. He looked elegant and noble, and at the same time, a sacred aura emanated from him.

However, the gloomy look in the man's eyes completely ruined his aura, making him appear somewhat awkward.

Chapter 7 Returning Money

Inside the palace, as the temperature gradually decreased due to the man's fluctuating emotions, an old man dressed in the robes of a Spirit Hall elder suddenly appeared at the entrance.

The elder took a few steps to the man, knelt on one knee, and said respectfully.

"Your Holiness, there is news of the Holy Maiden!"

Upon hearing the elder's words, Qian Xunji, seated at the head of the table, relaxed his tightly furrowed brows and the gloom in his eyes lessened considerably, and spoke up.

"what happened?"

Upon hearing this, the elder immediately stepped forward and presented a letter with both hands.

"It was an outer deacon named Chen Yao who said he met the Holy Maiden in the city today and ordered him to deliver this letter to His Holiness the Pope."

"letter?"

Qian Xunji frowned again, then took the letter from the elder and waved him away.

After the elder left the hall, Qian Xunji opened the letter and read it carefully.

[From the teacher]

The disciple knows the master's good intentions, but the disciple still wants to say goodbye to Xiao Gang, so he left the Spirit Hall on his own.

I have severed all ties with Xiao Gang and will never see him again in this life. Now I wish to spend some time alone in the city. I hope my teacher can forgive my willfulness.

Dong'er.

"Being alone is fine. Use this time to calm down. I hope you won't disappoint your teacher, Dong'er, otherwise, I'll have to resort to some unconventional methods..."

Chihiro gazed at Bibi Dong's handwriting on the letter, murmuring to herself.

He then put the envelope away, looked into the shadows, and spoke.

"Go and call back those who are searching for the saintess. Don't disturb her for the time being; let her have some peace and quiet."

"Yes, Your Majesty the Pope!"

No one appeared in the shadows, only a voice could be heard.

"Then... what about Yu Xiaogang?"

"We don't need to worry about it for now."

Chihiro responded calmly.

"Yes."

As the voice faded and the aura in the shadows dissipated, Qian Xunji, who had been sitting upright, relaxed and slumped back in her seat, slowly closing her eyes and gently rubbing her brow.

The pope, who usually exudes an air of authority, showed signs of fatigue at this moment.

"Dong'er, Yu Xiaogang is not good enough for you. I hope you can understand your teacher's good intentions, handle this matter well, and become a qualified saintess and a qualified pope..."

After that soft murmur, the palace fell silent once more.

……

Chen Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief after watching the city guards slowly withdraw and disappear into the streets.

Seeing that the situation had eased, Chen Yao was unwilling to stay outside for long. After asking the Spirit Hall for a few days' leave, he returned to the inn in the slum.

"Woo!"

As Chen Yao pushed open the door, a sobbing sound came from inside, and a beautiful scene came into view.

At this moment, Bibi Dong lay on the ground, her fair, jade-like skin marked with bright red welts from the tortoise shell bindings. Tears streamed down her face, and saliva dripped uncontrollably.

Furthermore, because Chen Yao was away for quite some time this time, Bibi Dong was unable to take care of her physiological needs, resulting in a messy situation for her lower body, covered in stains and smelling extremely foul.

Bibi Dong's ugly side was fully revealed.

He struggled to lift his head and met Chen Yao's mocking expression.

Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot, almost spitting fire. She could imagine how pathetic and pathetic she looked in Chen Yao's eyes at this moment.

If she could, she would want to tear the culprit to pieces!

Ignoring Bibi Dong's angry gaze, Chen Yao smiled and stepped forward to remove the gag from her mouth.

"Cough cough!"

Bibi Dong coughed violently a few times, feeling that she had completely lost sensation in her jaw.

She raised her head, no longer screaming, roaring, or cursing.

She just stared intently at Chen Yao, her eyes filled with endless resentment and hatred.

Chen Yao didn't care, picked up Bibi Dong, and headed towards the bathroom.

This time, he bought himself some breathing room, during which he had to come up with a solution.

However, Chen Yao cannot easily let go of the culprit who put him in such a predicament. Otherwise, if he really has no way out and is caught by the Spirit Hall, wouldn't he suffer a huge loss?

Since they've already arrested him, they should at least make sure he gets his money's worth before considering anything else.

……

A few days later, the tightly closed door was opened again, and Chen Yao, dressed in a black robe, walked out of the room. Through the narrow gap, one could see that Bibi Dong was once again bound in a tortoise shell style.

However, compared to the last time, Bibi Dong's body was covered in scars this time.

The tear stains on her cheeks, which had not yet dried, were very obvious. Her once bright and full rosy cheeks had lost their color, and there were cracks at the corners of her mouth.

Her eyes were vacant and her breath was barely a whisper, making it hard to imagine what Bibi Dong had gone through these past few days.

"Phew! That's enough. Now I'll try to see if I can save my life."

With a muttered murmur, Chen Yao slammed the door shut, leaving Bibi Dong alone in the dimly lit room.

In the darkness, Bibi Dong watched Chen Yao leave and the door close. Her eyes regained their brightness, and her lips moved as she exhaled a hot, stale breath through the gap in her mouth.

Then, her body trembled and she twisted awkwardly.

……

Time passed unnoticed, and a nameless anxiety rose in Bibi Dong's heart amidst the darkness.

Because Chen Yao had placed a black barrier over the room's windows, not a single ray of light could penetrate, making it impossible for Bibi Dong to tell whether it was day or night, or how long Chen Yao had been gone.

She could only wait endlessly in this dark room, where time seemed to be imprisoned.

For a moment, she even felt a sense of fear.

However, at that moment, the sound of footsteps on the stairs came from outside the door, which suddenly excited Bibi Dong and gave rise to a strange hope in her heart.

"Crack!"

As the door opened, a slender figure appeared in front of it. The dim light from the hotel corridor shone into the room through the gap beside the figure.

The dim, hazy light seemed so bright to Bibi Dong at that moment, making her somewhat excited.

However, just as she was about to look up, she suddenly realized the change in herself. She didn't know why she was like this, but she could only hurriedly and frantically adjust her mindset and return to her previous bitter and resentful appearance before looking at Chen Yao.

Chapter 8 Kidnapping Yu Xiaogang

When Bibi Dong looked up, she found that Chen Yao was holding a huge package.

Just as Bibi Dong was wondering what Chen Yao was holding, Chen Yao suddenly threw the bag to the ground, and the bag opened instantly, revealing the contents inside.

"Bibi Dong, look who I've brought!"

Upon hearing Chen Yao's words, Bibi Dong quickly looked down at the ground.

They discovered that what was in the bag was not something else, but a man.

The man was dressed very simply, with messy hair and an unshaven beard that obscured his face, making it difficult to see clearly. It was obvious that he hadn't groomed himself in a long time.
