Chapter 26 - Chapter 26 "Mistress"

"What are you doing again? Was humiliating me once not enough?"Bibi Dong had barely called Yu Xiaogang's name when he was met with her sharp questioning. Her tone wasn't loud, but its calm coldness cut straight through her heart like a blade.

"So, the great Saintess has come to visit me, a useless man? Don't bother me. I can't compare to your 'Grandmaster.'"

"No, Xiaogang, listen. It wasn't me back then… It was all Qian Xunji's scheme…"

"Scheme? Isn't he your teacher? What could he possibly do to you? You should have told me."In the soul master world, a personal master is an extremely revered position—nearly equivalent to a bloodline inheritance. This kind of teacher-disciple bond is second only to family.

Besides, Qian Xunji had an excellent reputation in the outside world. Yu Xiaogang never imagined he would commit acts worse than a beast.

Bibi Dong originally believed Yu Xiaogang would surely trust her. She thought that after dealing with Qian Xunji in a few years, she would explain everything to him.

"There's no need for any ties between us anymore. You're a high-ranking Saintess—I'm not worthy of you. Today, we sever all connection. Our relationship ends here. Since we've never truly known each other… Erlong, Flender, let's go."

After saying this, he didn't spare Bibi Dong a single glance. He simply turned and left with Flender and Liu Erlong, the latter even holding his arm as they walked away.

Bibi Dong's emotions were a tangled mix—sadness and hatred. The hatred, naturally, was for Qian Xunji. But the sadness wasn't only because Yu Xiaogang left her; it was also because after all these years, she couldn't even tell who she truly was anymore.

But soon enough, the turmoil within her settled into a cold, silent calm.

Searching for Someone in Karachi

"You don't pity Yu Xiaogang, and you don't owe him anything. At least half of his research came from your contributions. There's no need for guilt," Lin Yuan said truthfully.Bibi Dong had given Yu Xiaogang vast connections, resources, and even personally tested some of his theories. In this world, strength determines truth—many would never believe a so-called 'great master.'

"I'm not guilty. I just feel I wasted so many years. He'll regret it sooner or later."

Even with rationality guiding her, part of Bibi Dong's subconscious still felt guilty toward Yu Xiaogang.

She turned to leave, without leaving behind a single trace. Lin Yuan didn't follow. Under Akke's protection, they were perfectly safe in Sunset Forest.

The sun rose in the east and set in the west.

Lin Yuan waited patiently for Bibi Dong. He truly sympathized with her—both in the original story and now.

In the distance, her beautiful figure slowly entered his sight, her delicate face streaked with dried tears.

"Why are you still here?"

"Waiting for a little stray cat to come home," Lin Yuan said, lightly tapping her nose with his finger.

"…Thank you."Bibi Dong looked at him and said, "According to our bet, I lost. That means I'm your girlfriend now."

"No. I don't want to force you. When you step out of your shadows, then we'll talk. Okay?"

Bibi Dong nodded and followed him out of Sunset Forest.

Lin Yuan sensed that her emotions had settled; she was once again the cheerful, lively girl she used to be.

"I plan to go to the City of Slaughter in a month."

"Why so suddenly?"

"The first trial of the Dark Goddess is to walk the Hell Road inside the City of Slaughter within three years and obtain the Killing God Domain."

"I see. Then once you enter the Slaughter City, I'll leave."

"I know. I'll return in two years."

Lin Yuan nodded.

Even Bibi Dong herself didn't realize that someone had already taken root in her heart.

"Oh right—come with me."Lin Yuan took her toward the Ice-Fire Yin Yang Well.

Inside, Daji and the others were chatting. When they saw him enter, they greeted him:"My lord."

"What are you all doing?"

"We're talking about Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong from the Golden Iron Triangle. They say they're cousins."

Lin Yuan raised a brow. He noticed Bibi Dong's surprised expression."Oh? Really? How do you know?"

"Wenya heard it from a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect."

Dugu Bo stood and asked, "My lord, is this… your wife?"

Bibi Dong blushed, and Lin Yuan said, "Yes."

"Lady!" the group greeted in unison.

Even Daji smiled softly. As long as Lin Yuan still cared for her, she didn't mind how many women he had.

Bibi Dong nodded.

The girls quickly warmed up to each other and began chatting.

The Immortal Herb

"Daji, help me find which immortal herb suits Dong'er."

"Master, I thought you forgot about me. It's been several chapters since you spoke to me."

Lin Yuan chuckled awkwardly. "Haha…"

"Results indicate that the Night-Blooming Jasmine under the boulder behind the host matches Bibi Dong's attributes."

Lin Yuan turned toward the large rock. Under its shade grew a pitch-black jasmine flower, its petals open, its stamen dark red, releasing black energy that pooled within the shadow.

"Dong'er, this Night-Blooming Jasmine suits you. Pluck it from the root and swallow it."

"Alright."

Bibi Dong gently snapped the stem and swallowed it in one bite, beginning her absorption.

An hour later, she awoke—completely transformed.

Her body was now tall and slender, movements graceful like flowing silk.Her eyes were long and bright, crystal clear and mesmerizing.Her exquisite features were almost divine in their perfection.Her skin was smooth, pale, and tender—irresistibly beautiful.

Lin Yuan's eyes widened instantly.

"Her soul power increased by three levels—now Rank 74."

"Good. Let's go."

They each returned home to visit their mothers.

One Week Later

Lin Yuan received news from Bibi Dong.Qian Renxue had been born—born from Qian Xunji and a maid. As always, Qian Xunji forced himself on her and used a secret technique, resulting in Qian Renxue's birth.

The maid, upon seeing the result of her violation, stabbed herself through the chest and died.
