Chapter 15 Obsession
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression changed, becoming somewhat gloomy.
She had clearly recovered her strength, completely overwhelming Chen Yao; she only needed to release a trace of her soul power to suppress him, making him grovel on the ground like a dead dog.
Yet, even so, she was utterly helpless against this arrogant and lawless man before her.
Moreover, was she truly powerless against Chen Yao because she was worried about implicating Yu Xiaogang?
This thought startled even Bibi Dong herself.
Besides worrying about Yu Xiaogang, what reason did she have not to tear off this beast's head?
She was worried about Yu Xiaogang!
That was all!
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, calming herself, then her cold, sharp eyes swept over Chen Yao, and she spoke indifferently,
"Get out of here!"
She really didn't want to see Chen Yao's repulsive handsome face.
Moreover, as the time approached, her body began to involuntarily stir, and her mouth became dry.
Although she was both shocked and furious, she couldn't stop or control him. She only wanted Chen Yao to leave quickly; she didn't want to reveal any clues to him.
"Get lost? How can that be! Holy Maiden, there's no routine business today!"
Chen Yao sneered, simultaneously closing in on Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong's face paled in surprise. She couldn't believe that Chen Yao, knowing her strength had fully recovered, dared to act so recklessly and spout such nonsense!
"Insolence! Although I won't kill you, don't push your luck! Otherwise, you might lose an arm or a leg!"
Bibi Dong threatened fiercely.
"Is that so? That must hurt a lot, right? I'm most afraid of pain. If the pain becomes unbearable, I'll take some emergency measures."
Chen Yao wore an indifferent smile, raised his right hand, revealing the mark of his Dark Martial Soul, and waved it in front of Bibi Dong's face.
"Oh? How come I didn't know you were so fragile? Just losing an arm or a leg, and you're willing to die together with Yu Xiaogang?"
Bibi Dong feigned indifference, her face expressionless.
"That's not the case. I'm quite conscious of my life, but I'm also vengeful. Since I can't take revenge on you, I can only take revenge on your lover."
Chen Yao smiled, then leaned close to Bibi Dong's ear and whispered,
"Tell me, what would happen if I, at the opportune moment, caused Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul to go berserk while he was refining his Soul Power?
Although it wouldn't kill him, he would definitely be seriously injured. With his physique, I don't know if he could withstand it. And if he gets too agitated and his brain congests, he might go crazy or become stupid."
Feeling the cold and cruel words in her ear, Bibi Dong gritted her teeth in anger.
At the same time, she felt a surge of resentment.
Where was Yu Xiaogang now? Why should she repeatedly humble herself and endure this beast's insults for his sake?
But this thought only flashed through her mind; she loved Yu Xiaogang deeply and could not tolerate him suffering any harm.
Helpless against Chen Yao's threats, she could only remain silent.
"Tsk!"
Seeing Bibi Dong remain silent, Chen Yao clicked his tongue. Sure enough, nothing he said mattered; bringing up Yu Xiaogang was the most effective method.
Then, without further delay, Chen Yao skillfully picked Bibi Dong up and tossed her onto the luxurious bed, bending down beside her.
"By the way, now that your strength has recovered, remember to be careful. Don't recklessly unleash your soul power; my little body can't withstand the torment of a Soul Emperor like you!"
However, just as Chen Yao was about to charge into battle, he suddenly remembered something and quickly reminded her.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression remained unchanged. She slowly closed her eyes, turned her head to the side, and remained silent.
However, due to their tacit cooperation over this period, Chen Yao knew that Bibi Dong had tacitly agreed, and immediately gave a lewd "hehe"...
"Come on, open your mouth..."
"Get out! It's disgusting! I can't ever... Waaah!"
...
The next day, Chen Yao slowly woke up from his sleep, only to be greeted by that familiar ceiling again.
"Hoo!"
He exhaled a long breath, slowly got up, and leaned against the headboard.
Then he turned his head and looked at Bibi Dong's flawless, exquisite sleeping face beside him.
His eyes were momentarily dazed, and a sense of emptiness inexplicably filled his heart.
Logically speaking, he was living a comfortable life now, indulging in eating, drinking, and playing during the day, and having Bibi Dong, a peerless beauty, at his disposal at night. He should feel that his life was complete and shouldn't be filled with this emptiness.
But he just felt that something was missing, making him inexplicably restless.
"Strength? Is it my own obsession, or was it stimulated by Bibi Dong's powerful soul power last night?"
Chen Yao clicked his tongue, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.
He originally wanted to dispel this thought of becoming stronger and continue his carefree, decadent life.
But for some reason, that damned desire to become stronger clung to his mind like a leech, impossible to dispel!
"Since I'm not resigned to it, why don't I try one more time?"
In the end, Chen Yao accepted his obsession, a thought that went against his own life principles arising in his mind.
But then he gave a bitter smile.
If effort really worked, he wouldn't have been abandoned by Ghostly Spirit before.
And it wasn't because of his Martial Soul; his Martial Soul was definitely powerful, far more versatile than those single weapon or beast Martial Souls.
It even allowed him to be invincible against Soul Masters of the same level, and even fight against those of higher levels.
The reason he was still weak at 20 years old was simply because he was useless.
Even when he practiced the advanced meditation method from the Spirit Hall that Ghostly Spirit gave him, his soul power still increased slowly, like a tortoise crawling.
Ghostly Spirit was also baffled by Chen Yao's situation.
Logically speaking, a person's aptitude is linked to the strength of their Martial Soul.
Chen Yao clearly possessed a top-tier energy martial soul, yet his aptitude was absurdly poor, making him quite an oddity.
Ultimately, seeing no hope in Chen Yao, Gui Mei reluctantly gave up on him.
Could effort really change his situation?
"I'll just continue living my carefree life, enjoying each day as it comes."
Thinking this, Chen Yao lay down again, his lecherous hand reaching towards the sleeping Bibi Dong, intending to vent his frustrations on her.
But suddenly, a glint of light flashed in Chen Yao's eyes, and he withdrew his wicked hand, sitting up again.
"Perhaps there's something in Dugu Bo's herb garden that can help me..."
