In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

"Everything is packed up and stored in the soul storage device."

Then, Wang Zhao walked to Bibi Dong's side and gently lifted the ring on the ring finger of his left hand, the one that Bibi Dong had given him.

"Okay, let's go then."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong nodded, composed herself, and turned to walk toward the carriage, but suddenly paused.

Wang Zhao looked at the carriage and suddenly sensed something was amiss. He couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"Where is Sister Butterfly?"

"She asked me for the day off last night, I guess something's wrong."

Bibi Dong thought for a moment and said.

Wang Zhao glanced slightly at the gate of the mansion behind him, and couldn't help but recall the night before, in the same place, where he and Die had...

Perhaps this is a case of things reaching their extremes and then reversing; those with the deepest feelings are often the least willing to come and say goodbye.

With a sigh, Wang Zhao decided to stop thinking about it for the time being and headed towards the carriage.

Suddenly, Bibi Dong called out to him.

"Feed..."

Wang Zhao then looked at her with a hint of doubt.

"What's wrong, Sister Dong'er?"

"you……"

Bibi Dong hesitated, her mind reeling from the unknown oblivion technique operating wildly deep within her. In the end, however, her eyes betrayed a hint of reluctance and shyness.

"Come here."

"?"

Wang Zhao sensed something was wrong, but because of her trust in Bibi Dong, she didn't think much of it and silently walked up to her.

Bibi Dong immediately hugged him tightly.

"Sister Dong'er, you?!"

Wang Zhao's eyes widened involuntarily.

His surprise and loss of composure were understandable, since Bibi Dong rarely hugged him, let alone did so on her own initiative, except in special circumstances.

"Shut up!"

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong's reaction was even more intense than his.

She pressed Wang Zhao's head firmly against her shoulder, while she leaned on Wang Zhao's shoulder, preventing Wang Zhao from seeing the unconcealable blush on her face.

"I just... I just don't want outsiders to know that you left Wuhun City. And I don't feel comfortable letting anyone else drive since Die isn't here today. Besides, there's a no-fly zone in Wuhun City, so for the sake of secrecy, I'll take you out myself."

"Oh~"

Hearing this long-winded speech and feeling the obvious nervousness of Dong'er in his arms, Wang Zhao couldn't help but smile. But fearing that she would notice, he quickly regained his composure.

"I understand, Sister Dong'er is very thoughtful."

"...It's good that you know."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong breathed a sigh of relief without revealing her reaction, and began to comfort herself in the same way.

She was only doing this to cooperate with Wang Zhao's little plans, to consider the bigger picture, and to get things done...

That's why I hugged him.

She didn't mean to hug this brat one last time before leaving, hmph!

In this way, Bibi Dong quickly unfolded six purple wings on her back, and in a flash, she carried Wang Zhao and disappeared from the spot. Not long after, she left Wuhun City and came to a dense forest on the outskirts.

After landing in the woods, Bibi Dong quickly released Wang Zhao and then silently took a few steps back to keep her distance from him.

"..."

Do you realize that you're acting like you're going to turn your back on everyone the moment you put on that thing?!

Wang Zhao mentally complained, feeling a mix of disappointment and delight.

After all these years, apart from Qian Renxue giving him the feeling of first love and Sister Die causing him to have hazy and unclear feelings, he admitted that he was absolutely lustful towards Bibi Dong.

He couldn't help but be moved by the woman in front of him, regardless of her appearance, figure, status, or even her special identity.

He wasn't one to give up on himself, so he started planning how to make Bibi Dong fall in love with him a long time ago, though he wasn't sure exactly how long ago.

Perhaps, from the moment the "Anal Breaking Plan" began, he already had those kinds of thoughts about Bibi Dong?

In short, considering Bibi Dong's romantic nature, he thinks that the results over the years are already quite good.

A short while later.

Qian Daoliu, accompanied by Qian Renxue, and a Chrysanthemum Douluo, also arrived at this place.

Wang Zhao first greeted the first two, then turned to look at Yue Guan.

"Old Yue, what brings you here? Do you want to come out and explore with me too?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan couldn't help but act effeminately, even giving Wang Zhao a flirtatious glare before handing him a jade bottle.

"You think I'm like you? I have a lot more to do."

"Here, I came over before you left mainly to bring you this, and also to say goodbye to Old Yang."

"Thank you."

Wang Zhao casually said this, took the jade bottle, opened it, and a faint fragrance wafted out. Inside was one of the three semi-finished pills that he had refined with ice and fire over the past few days.

"Why did you bring this?"

Wang Zhao glanced at it, then put it into his storage soul tool and asked a question.

"Old Yang believes in your inspiration and is thinking of having you take one out so that you might be able to modify it occasionally, or even create a finished product in one go."

Yue Guan said.

"Then I must thank him."

Wang Zhao remained noncommittal, offering only a slight smile.

Then, he turned his gaze to Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, who were talking to Bibi Dong beside him, and after a moment, he spoke:

"Grandpa Qian, I wonder if Brother Qianjun has agreed to that matter?"

No sooner had Wang Zhao finished speaking than a hearty laugh rang out from the horizon before Qian Daoliu could reply. Then, a dozen or so figures suddenly descended, led by none other than Qian Jun Douluo.

"Haha, Brother Wang Zhao, my brother and I said we owed you a favor. Anyway, I'm tired of staying in the Hall of Offerings, so now it's a good time to come out and have some fun in the mortal world!"

At this moment, Qian Daoliu gave a seemingly unintentional "hmm".

Thousand-Pound Douluo's expression stiffened slightly, but compared to his younger brother, Demon Slayer, he was much more composed. He quickly suppressed his excitement about "dominating the continent," adjusted his mindset, and said seriously:

"Don't worry, I agree to this. You have a good eye. I'm definitely more reliable than those two little pufferfish and little snake spears. I've also brought you the manpower you wanted. They are all secretly trained by the Spirit Hall or have been hiding in remote areas for years. They won't pose any threat to this plan."

Wang Zhao nodded in relief, then looked at Bibi Dong. The two were speechless for a moment, as if there was nothing left to say, yet it also seemed as if they actually wanted to say more.

Finally, he turned his head away and looked into the distance, the slight confusion in his heart gradually replaced by a sense of high spirits.

Having listened to her grandfather's instructions, Qian Renxue stood beside him.

The boy and girl stood side by side, and behind them, amidst flashes of light, a platinum dragon roared into the sky—

"roar!!"
