Chapter 227: Reviving and Arrangements
"I don't know the exact situation, but I sent them to chase after Tang San."
Bibi Dong furrowed her brows and recounted what she knew.
Hearing this, Ning Bei leaned back and stared at her with a look that nearly made the Pope lose her composure.
"What are you looking at? Can't I try?"
"Sure."
After all, they were your subordinates; you can send them off however you like.
With that, Bibi Dong called in Chrysanthemum Douluo. Upon seeing that Ghost Demon had fully recovered, Chrysanthemum Douluo was overjoyed and immediately rushed to give him a bear hug, making both Bibi Dong and Ning Bei frown.
Eventually, the Pope couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted their affectionate moment.
"Tell us, what exactly happened?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Demon parted, and all three of them turned their attention to Ghost Demon, their eyes full of curiosity.
Ghost Demon trembled as he recalled the events, seemingly remembering some terrifying scene.
"I'm not sure what exactly happened, I was chasing after those little brats, and then they abandoned the carriage and scattered."
"My goal was only that kid called Tang San, so I didn't care about anyone else."
"When I was about to catch up to that kid and finish him off, suddenly a terrifying aura appeared, and then I blacked out."
Ghost Demon's words made the three of them frown, but Ning Bei and Bibi Dong had already formed a suspicion. After exchanging a glance, they silently looked up at the sky.
"Old Ghost, are you still not awake? Didn't you notice who beat you up like that?"
"Stupid Chrysanthemum, I'm fully awake. That person's aura was so terrifying, even the aura of Your Majesty doesn't compare to it."
"You…"
Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted to say more but was interrupted by Bibi Dong raising her hand.
"Yue Guan, did you see Tang San's corpse nearby?"
Yue Guan was slightly stunned. He hadn't thought that far. After carefully recalling the explosion site, he shook his head.
"Your Majesty, there were no other bodies there, only Old Ghost."
Bibi Dong thought for a moment and then confirmed her suspicions. She waved her hand at Ghost Demon and Chrysanthemum Douluo, signaling them to leave.
The two of them bowed respectfully, gave Ning Bei a grateful look, and slowly exited the hall.
"It must have been the God of Asura. Otherwise, with Yue Guan and Ghost Demon's strength, they wouldn't have failed against a Soul King."
Ning Bei rolled his eyes, silently complaining.
They knew the outcome wouldn't be good, but they still tried meaningless tests. And now, the person was gone!
The look in his eyes made Bibi Dong feel a little guilty. After a moment of calm, she asked about the next plan.
"What do you think we should do now?"
"What can we do? You've made him disappear; what else can I do?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong's face turned red, and for a long time, she didn't say anything more.
After a long silence, she finally sighed deeply.
"I know I acted recklessly in this mission, but this concerns both of our lives. Can you please pay more attention?"
Ning Bei helplessly spread his hands, the meaning clear: Is this really something that can be solved with my attention?
"Originally, we were just waiting for him to return to Shrek Academy. We could just keep an eye on him, prevent him from going to the City of Slaughter, and avoid contact with Tang Yuehua."
"Once we become gods, won't we be able to deal with him easily?"
"Now, we've completely lost track of him. What do you want me to do?"
"Well…"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was at a loss for words, regretting her recklessness even more.
"Then, should we just do nothing?"
"Tch."
Ning Bei scoffed lightly. The child is dead, and now you come to comfort me. You know what to do when the snot reaches your mouth, right? And now you throw the problem back at me?
But, grumbling aside, it's time to stick together in tough times.
"We haven't reached the point where there's nothing we can do. Since we know who made the move, it won't be difficult to guess where they went."
"Where?"
A hint of joy flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She didn't expect that there was still a way to salvage the situation.
"To the City of Slaughter. Where else could they have gone?"
"The City of Slaughter?"
Bibi Dong's face darkened again. That place was tricky. No matter how strong you were, you couldn't use soul skills inside.
After much consideration, she still didn't plan to let the enemy grow stronger. She looked at Ning Bei, testing him.
"How about sending my disciple to the City of Slaughter? She has been thinking of going there anyway."
"How about that? Not great!"
Isn't that just sending them there? It's not even an obstacle for your silly disciple. Your whole family is just handing themselves over to the enemy, but now, little angel sent them to the right person.
"What should we do then?"
"You also obtained the Killing God Domain, right? You should be able to freely enter and exit the City of Slaughter, right?"
"You want me to go myself?"
Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment. After all, as a god candidate, she still felt intimidated by the God of Asura.
"Stop thinking about fighting all the time, okay? You should keep an eye on Tang San first, and we'll make our next move. The best thing is to become a god quickly, so we can deal with any unexpected situations."
After thinking for a while, Bibi Dong agreed with Ning Bei's suggestion, though she still had some doubts.
"Alright, should I still send my disciple to the City of Slaughter?"
"Do whatever you want. As long as you're not afraid she'll follow your old path."
"My old path? What do you mean?"
Ha, what do I mean? That's quite funny.
"Pope, let me ask you this. Do you think there's a possibility that your disciple will eventually get involved with Tang San? And later, cause you trouble?"
Bibi Dong's face changed dramatically, filled with disbelief.
"Impossible! I've always been training Nana as my successor. She would never betray me!"
Hearing the Pope's confident words, Ning Bei almost laughed out loud.
"How fresh! You speak as if, decades ago, a certain Pope didn't also train a certain Saintess as her successor."
The meaning was clear. While speaking, he rolled his eyes at the Pope, making her face turn black. She felt a sharp pain in her cheeks, gritted her teeth, and pointed toward the door.
"Get out!"
"Fine, I'm going to the far north to complete my god test. You handle things here. Just make sure you don't hesitate when the time comes."
With that, he happily left the hall, leaving Bibi Dong standing there, uncertain and lost in thought.
When he stepped outside, he found that Chrysanthemum and Ghost Demon were still waiting for him.
"Ning Gongzi, last time Ghost Demon was rude. Please forgive him."
"That's right, Ning Gongzi, Old Ghost knows his mistake. He's been reflecting on himself all this time. Please allow us to invite you to a feast in gratitude."
Ning Bei smiled at the two of them and waved his hand.
"I appreciate your gesture, but there are too many things to handle right now. The power that injured you must have revealed some clues to you. I still have to deal with that."
"Well…"
"Then I won't disturb you, Ning Gongzi. When I have the opportunity, I'll repay your great kindness."
Yue Guan wanted to keep him, but Ghost Demon stopped him. The terrifying power they had felt was still fresh in their minds.
