Douluo Continent: Now that everyone's been reborn, who's still going to be a simp?

I just got back and saw Yan.

"Yan, you've come."

"Teacher, are you very busy today?"

"Okay. I might be away from Wuhun City for the next ten days or so. Come find me when I get back."

"Okay. Are you on some kind of secret mission?"

Yue Guan was stunned for a moment.

"how do you know?"

"My guess."

Yan knew that, according to the timeline, Tang San and his group should be on their way to Wuhun City, and Bibi Dong would arrange for two elders to ambush and kill him on the way.

"You guessed right, kid. But I can't tell you what secret mission it is yet."

"Yes, I know."

"The finals are just around the corner, so you should calm down and prepare well."

"understood."

Yan knew that Yue Guan and Gui Mei's mission was very likely to fail.

Tang San and his companions no longer possessed those top-grade immortal herbs, so Yue Guan wouldn't be drawn to them and miss the perfect opportunity to ambush Tang San. However, Tang Hao had been secretly protecting Tang San and wouldn't let them succeed.

Moreover, Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo will not stand idly by.

~~~~~

The fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire region, led by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, headed to Wuhun City to participate in the finals of the Soul Master Competition.

Yu Xiaogang did not travel with Tang San and the others, but instead rode alone at full speed to Wuhun City.

With the elder's token given to him by Bibi Dong, he arrived at the Papal Palace without any hindrance.

Bibi Dong remained seated high on the papal chair.

Upon seeing her former lover, she was inwardly excited, but outwardly she feigned composure and spoke gently:

"Xiao Gang, you're here."

"Yes. Are you alright?"

Upon seeing Bibi Dong again, Yu Xiaogang felt a mix of emotions.

Bibi Dong was still as beautiful as before; time seemed to have left no trace on her face.

But Yu Xiaogang has already become a fifty-year-old old man.

“What’s wrong with me? I rule the Spirit Hall, possess supreme honor and power, and even the two great empires have to be wary of me. Of course, everything I have today is also thanks to you.”

Yu Xiaogang sighed softly:

"Twenty years have passed, and you are still as beautiful as before. Bibi Dong, I know the bitterness in your heart, but I had no choice back then."

"Yu Xiaogang, you're so rude. I'm not that silly girl anymore. Please call me Pope."

Bibi Dong's expression suddenly changed, and her tone became sharp.

Yu Xiaogang was taken aback, not expecting Bibi Dong to change her expression so quickly. He said respectfully:

"Your Holiness, I have come here to ask you for a favor."

"What is it? Just say it."

Bibi Dong's indifferent attitude pained Yu Xiaogang, but for Tang San's sake, he was willing to swallow his pride and beg Bibi Dong.

"Your Holiness, I would like to know, how did you overcome the challenge of having twin martial souls?"

Bibi Dong snorted dismissively.

“Yu Xiaogang, your life is ruined. You don’t need to know such important secrets at all.”

Chapter 69. The Grand Final Begins

69.

Despite being mercilessly mocked by Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang was not angry.

He was willing to swallow his pride in order to help Tang San.

“Your Holiness, to be honest, I have taken on a disciple. That child is exceptionally talented, possessing twin martial souls just like you. I hope to nurture him into a powerful figure.”

Bibi Dong gave a cold smile, then mocked:

"This is your purpose? Aren't you a theoretical master? There are things you don't know. But why should I help you? To let you cultivate a powerful figure who will oppose me?"

"No, he won't go against you."

"Really? His surname is Tang, and he possesses both the Blue Silver Grass and the Clear Sky Hammer martial souls. Yu Xiaogang, tell me, does someone like that not oppose me? Do you really think I'm stupid?"

Yu Xiaogang was startled.

"You already know him?"

"What do you think the Spirit Hall is? Of course I know about it. I'd rather believe you're here to beg me to spare that bastard."

"Bibi Dong, what are you going to do to him?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's anxious expression, Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of smugness.

"I think you should also know that Tang San is a combination of Tang Hao and a soul beast, and he might cause harm to the people in the future. Of course, the Spirit Hall must get rid of such a wicked creature. Don't bother, I have already sent people to ambush him on the way, that wicked creature is probably already dead."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

He had been with Tang San for seven or eight years, watching Tang San grow step by step, and had devoted a lot of effort to Tang San. He simply couldn't accept that Tang San was leaving him like this.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly stood up, glaring angrily at Bibi Dong.

"Bibi Dong, since you know he is the son of Haotian Douluo, how dare you attack him? Aren't you afraid of Haotian Douluo's revenge?!"

"Tang Hao?! You think I'm afraid of him?! You piece of trash probably don't even know how strong I am now. Tang Hao killed my teacher Qian Xunji and hid like a coward. Is there a problem with me killing his son Tang San?"

"Bibi Dong, you..."

Yu Xiaogang seemed to want to say something but stopped himself.

Twenty years can change a lot of things.

He clearly sensed that the beautiful woman in front of him was no longer the Bibi Dong he knew.

"Bibi Dong, you've changed. You've become so vicious. I hardly recognize you anymore."

"Really? You've changed too, actually protecting a monstrous offspring of a human soul master and a soul beast."

Just then, a guard walked in.

Bibi Dong was a little angry.

"Didn't I already give the order that no one is allowed to disturb us without my permission?!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive us, but the two elders said they have important business to discuss and are waiting at the door."

"Let them in."

Bibi Dong smiled, anticipating the good news the two elders would bring back.

Yu Xiaogang looked nervous, his heart pounding wildly.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei entered the main hall with solemn expressions.

Bibi Dong noticed something amiss, and her expression changed.

"What? You two didn't complete your mission?"

Yue Guan replied:

"Your Holiness, we were able to complete our mission, but an unexpected incident occurred."

As Yue Guan spoke, he glanced at Yu Xiaogang beside him, seemingly not wanting him to hear what had happened.

Bibi Dong smiled, not angry at the two elders' defeat.

"Yu Xiaogang, congratulations, that scoundrel has escaped a calamity for now. However, the Spirit Hall will not let him go."

Yu Xiaogang was furious.

"Bibi Dong, how dare you lay a hand on my beloved disciple! From this day forward, I sever all ties with you! If anything happens to him, I will dedicate my entire life to avenging myself against you and the Spirit Hall!"

Hearing Yu Xiaogang say such cruel words, Bibi Dong was also furious.

"Yu Xiaogang, remember what you just said! You and that wretched Tang San are indeed of the same ilk. I will not only kill Tang San, but also torture Liu Erlong! You shamelessly fall in love with your own sister, what a joke in the world! I will make you, you heartless beast, feel unprecedented pain!"

Yu Xiaogang's face turned bright red as he was mercilessly mocked by Bibi Dong. He was both angry and ashamed.

"Bibi Dong, you've gone mad!"

"Yeah, I'm insane! Get out of here before I kill you!"

Yu Xiaogang glared at Bibi Dong, then left without looking back.
