"If you leave right now, I'll immediately make a scene and have everyone in the academy come here."
"When they see me dressed like this, staying in your room,"
"What do you think they will think?"
Jin Mian put on an indifferent expression: "They can think whatever they want. Anyway, I'm just a kid who hasn't even reached adulthood; what the hell does reputation have to do with me?"
"On the other hand, you, the grand Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall—if others find out you're 'an old cow eating tender grass,' I'd like to see how you explain yourself."
"..."
These words left Bibi Dong speechless.
She had thought Jin Mian was just thick-skinned.
She hadn't expected this guy to have no sense of shame at all.
But thinking about it, Jin Mian was right.
The recognized age of adulthood on the Douluo Continent was sixteen.
At only fourteen, Jin Mian indeed didn't count as an adult.
Reputation was indeed useless to him.
Instead, it was her—as the Supreme Pontiff, coming to a student's dormitory dressed like this in the middle of the night.
If she were seen, her reputation would definitely suffer.
Helpless,
Bibi Dong had no choice but to stand up and sit properly in a chair.
"Fine, I'll stop teasing you."
"Let's get to the point."
"I came here today because I want to discuss something with you."
Jin Mian leaned against the door.
He asked back: "What is it?"
"I want to invite you and Ye Lingling to join the Golden Generation."
"And I hope you can form the Spirit Hall Team to win glory for Spirit Hall in the All-Continent Elite Soul Master Tournament in a year and a half!"
"After all, you wouldn't want the first place in next year's tournament to be snatched away by another academy, right?"
After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she looked at Jin Mian with anticipation.
She thought to herself,
This time, I'm using the glory of the entire Spirit Hall as moral leverage.
I don't believe you, Jin Mian, can still refuse.
But what she didn't expect was,
Jin Mian directly shook his head and stated: "I refuse the invitation. Having me and Lingling join the Golden Generation would be too much of a step down for us. As for next year's competition, don't worry—when the time comes, I'll form another team with Lingling to compete."
"How about this, let's make a bet. As long as you..." Bibi Dong still wanted to use a very common old trick to get Jin Mian to compromise.
Who would have thought that Jin Mian wouldn't give her the chance at all.
He raised his hand and said: "I'm allergic to gambling!"
"..."
Bibi Dong was once again left speechless.
She thought, why is this kid so difficult to handle?
But she still didn't give up and said: "Then like this..."
"I don't want to."
Jin Mian refused before she even had a chance to finish her sentence.
Bibi Dong nearly exploded.
Her fists clenched, suppressing her anger.
She looked at Jin Mian with a forced smile.
What?
You're asking why Bibi Dong's temper has become so good?
That she could still smile after being rejected by Jin Mian repeatedly?
It was because Jin Mian had powerful backing!
Over the past few years, the strength of the Hall of Worship had increased terrifyingly.
The High Priest, Second Consecrator, and Third Consecrated Elder had all reached the Level 99 realm.
The Fourth Consecrator was at Level 98.5.
The Fifth Consecrator was at Level 98.
Among them, the most 'useless' ones, the Sixth Consecrator and Seventh Consecrated Elder, were still stuck at the peak of Level 97.
But those two brothers had a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
They could go head-to-head with a Level 98.
Unless she became a God right then and there,
Once the Hall of Worship applied pressure,
How could Bibi Dong possibly withstand it?
She had no choice but to endure.
Subsequently, the two of them engaged in a long tug-of-war.
But Jin Mian adhered to the principle of a flat refusal.
No matter what Bibi Dong said,
He only had three words: "I refuse."
Seeing that she had no way to deal with Jin Mian, Bibi Dong had to get up and leave.
After all, if she stayed any longer, it would be dawn.
If she were really seen,
There would be no way to explain it.
Watching Bibi Dong's departing figure, Jin Mian complained: "That woman is really long-winded enough; she wasted a whole night of my rest."
