After all, who could have imagined that the dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall would show such tenderness to a man?
Seeing Bibi Dong's humility and submission, Yu Xiaogang, though still furious, felt a surge of pride.
After all, the woman comforting him so meekly was the Pope, someone others could only dream of approaching.
The cold and powerful Pope, who commanded respect from everyone, was now crouching beside him, comforting him. This filled Yu Xiaogang, a man who had endured a lifetime of ridicule and mockery, with unprecedented pride and satisfaction.
"Hmph, that's more like it. Bibi Dong, I need to recover quickly. Did you get what I asked for last time?"
Yu Xiaogang snorted.
"I did. They're all in the Spirit Hall's dungeon. Once you've recovered enough, I'll take you there to help your Luo Sanpao evolve further!"
Hearing that Yu Xiaogang no longer blamed her, Bibi Dong smiled with relief.
I knew it. Xiaogang was just temporarily upset.
Listening to Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang's aged face flashed with excitement, and he immediately said,
"Quick, take me there! Take me there now! I can't wait!"
Not long ago, Yu Xiaogang, in an attempt to further evolve his Luo Sanpao spirit, decided to borrow his disciple's method of using Blue Silver Grass to completely absorb the life force of living beings. He wanted Luo Sanpao to do the same, absorbing life force and spirit power to enhance his and Luo Sanpao's strength.
To this end, he had Bibi Dong find some criminals and evil-doers for Luo Sanpao to devour, absorbing their life force and spirit power.
Yu Xiaogang even justified his actions, claiming he was cleansing the continent of evil and that his methods were absolutely righteous!
Bibi Dong had initially been reluctant, as this went against the Spirit Hall's usual methods. If Qian Daoliu found out, her authority would be further undermined.
But thinking about how she had wronged Yu Xiaogang by driving Tang San away, she reluctantly agreed.
Bibi Dong kept telling herself that these criminals were destined for Slaughter City anyway, where they would die. If they were going to die, it might as well be at Xiaogang's hands, as a favor to him.
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's excitement, Bibi Dong had no choice but to comply. She quickly arranged for Yu Xiaogang to be secretly taken to the Spirit Hall's dungeon.
Inside the dungeon, prisoners were shackled with heavy chains.
They were all criminals who should have been sent to Slaughter City, but under Bibi Dong's arrangements, they had been kept here temporarily.
Upon arriving, Yu Xiaogang looked at the trapped, helpless prisoners and felt a surge of excitement.
To him, these prisoners were no longer human—they were food for his Luo Sanpao.
After Bibi Dong dismissed the guards, Yu Xiaogang didn't hesitate. He summoned his spirit, Luo Sanpao, and like a tiger among sheep, began devouring the prisoners' flesh amidst their screams and pleas.
As the carnage began, the filthy dungeon was soon covered in sticky, crimson blood, and the air was thick with the stench of blood.
The prisoners' cries and pleas gradually faded away.
Luo Sanpao walked through the blood-soaked ground like a hellhound from the depths of hell.
Meanwhile, Yu Xiaogang's injuries began to heal gradually.
Bibi Dong watched all of this unfold.
Seeing the hellish scene before her, Bibi Dong knew that Yu Xiaogang was veering toward becoming a Evil spirit master. Yet, for some reason, she felt no urge to stop him.
Her heart was in turmoil, filled with complex emotions.
As time passed, a dark, purple-black consciousness that had lain dormant in Bibi Dong's mind for years began to stir.
[Strange. Bibi Dong has undergone multiple god trials. By now, Qian Ji Xun's Sacred Angel spirit should have been completely devoured. So why does she still have such a strong aura of light within her?]
[Wait, who is this man? Why is the evil aura within him so intense, even surpassing Bibi Dong's back then? Interesting. This level of evil aura makes him a more suitable candidate for my successor than Bibi Dong.]
[Interesting. Bibi Dong seems to care deeply for this man. Perhaps I have a new option to consider...]
A long time later, after Luo Sanpao had devoured all twenty-five prisoners, its body had grown significantly larger.
It was now even bigger than Xiao Yu's Wo Long!
Its already ferocious appearance now looked even more menacing and wild!
Yu Xiaogang's injuries had also healed considerably under Luo Sanpao's influence.
"Dong'er, thank you. I've mostly recovered. You've worked hard."
Yu Xiaogang approached Bibi Dong with a gentle expression, thanking her while reaching out with his aged, withered hand to caress her cheek.
But for some reason, Bibi Dong, who should have been immersed in Yu Xiaogang's tenderness, instinctively took a step back, avoiding his touch.
"Dong'er, you..."
Seeing Bibi Dong's reluctance to make physical contact, Yu Xiaogang's long-buried insecurities resurfaced.
Since he had joined Bibi Dong, she had always spoken to him gently and granted his every request.
But when it came to physical intimacy, she had always refused, making Yu Xiaogang feel deceived once again.
What Yu Xiaogang didn't know was that ever since being violated by Qian Ji Xun, Bibi Dong had developed an intense aversion to men coming within a meter of her.
If not for Yu Xiaogang being her "white moonlight," the moment he reached out, it wouldn't have been Bibi Dong stepping back—it would have been Yu Xiaogang losing his hand.
Yu Xiaogang also didn't know that every time Bibi Dong comforted him gently, she was suppressing feelings of disgust and revulsion.
