...
But before Bibi Dong could even catch her breath...
The next second, after feeling her body relax, Xuan Hao's left hand became extremely restless, naturally continuing to explore downwards along the silky fabric of her lower abdomen.
"!"
Bibi Dong's eyes widened suddenly.
All the relaxation and peace instantly vanished into thin air!
This brat not only touched her lower abdomen, but now he's trying to push his luck and go all the way to her bottom?!
This time, Bibi Dong didn't even bother using her soul power.
Her body's most basic defense mechanism was instantly triggered.
Her right leg suddenly rose and delivered a clean and crisp knee strike, hitting Xuan Hao squarely in the groin!
"Awooo—!!"
Xuan Hao, who was trying to take advantage of the situation just a second ago, suddenly turned from red to white, and then from white to green.
He covered his groin with both hands, looking completely bewildered, and stumbled back five or six steps before finally collapsing onto the steps.
"Holy crap..."
Xuanhao was in so much pain that tears welled up in his eyes.
"Bibi Dong...do you have to be so ruthless?! Are you trying to cripple me?!"
Bibi Dong crossed her arms and glared coldly at him from above.
Her long, disheveled hair was even more messy after the commotion, but the panic in her eyes had been completely replaced by icy anger.
"You brat, you're pushing your luck, aren't you?!"
Faced with the enraged pope, Xuan Hao awkwardly rubbed his nose and muttered to himself:
"I just... took advantage of the situation."
"Just a quick favor?"
Upon hearing this word, Bibi Dong's eyelids twitched, and the cold smile on her lips deepened.
A strong sourness, which she herself didn't even realize, even crept into her voice:
"It seems that our renowned Xuanhao Guild Master, who is famous throughout the continent, often uses this same thuggish method to deal with the young ladies around you in Tiandou City?"
"For the past few years, you've been spending your nights in the presidential suite of the Tiandou Royal Hotel, indulging in debauchery and revelry with them, haven't you?"
"How is that possible?!"
"I'm being completely honest! Even though they lived in the same suite as me every day, I didn't touch a single one of them! I didn't even get close to taking the final step!"
"At most, I just hold Na'er innocently when I'm sleeping at night, or occasionally play some lighthearted games with Rongrong and the others, like holding hands or kissing on the cheek! I never did anything serious!"
Bibi Dong looked at him coldly, as if he were an idiot, her face filled with strong doubt that seemed to say, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?"
"A hot-blooded, lewd man, surrounded by a room full of stunningly beautiful women who are devoted to him, and you're telling me you haven't touched a single one and only played games with them?"
"No, there really isn't!"
Xuan Hao said, "If you don't believe me, you can send someone right now, or you can go to Tiandou City yourself to examine them!
Or... you can come and examine me yourself!"
"I can guarantee that Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, and Zhu Zhuqing are all perfectly healthy and virgins!
If I tell a single lie, may I be struck by lightning the moment I step outside!"
Looking at Xuan Hao's shameless face, which was trying to clear his name and even made such nonsense as "let you come for a physical examination" sound so righteous.
Bibi Dong, having lived this long, was utterly exasperated by his shameless and brazen behavior.
She raised a hand to her forehead, her face a picture of utter speechlessness and exhaustion.
"Xuanhao...you have such a big face, can't you have even a little bit of shame?"
Have you no shame?
Seeing that Bibi Dong's murderous aura had completely dissipated, Xuan Hao chuckled, dusted himself off, and swaggered over again.
"I grew up in muddy fields, what would I need that thing for?"
"Saving face is such empty garbage; it's purely for show. I'll never need it in my life anyway, so if I lose it, I'll just throw it away. I won't feel bad about it."
After being harassed and tormented like this, Bibi Dong found that no matter how angry she was, she couldn't vent her anger at all.
Even if she were to put on the Pope's airs and turn on him in anger, this bastard would only use even more shameless, vulgar, and unreasonable thuggish methods to pester her until her psychological defenses were completely broken down and she no longer had the energy to be angry.
When dealing with scoundrels, all grand principles and authority are futile.
Bibi Dong sighed helplessly, too lazy to pick up the crooked nine-curved purple-gold crown from the ground.
While straightening her somewhat disheveled clothes, she coldly stared at him:
"Why aren't you focusing on your Soul Master Tournament in Heaven Dou City?
What are you doing here in my Spirit City?"
Upon hearing this, Xuan Hao clapped his hands and swaggered over again.
"Didn't I just say I came to see you?"
"For the past year or so, I've been diligently soaking in the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, my bones are practically melting from it.
Look, I'm already level 79, just one step away from becoming a Contra."
Upon hearing the words "Class of '79", Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed slightly.
She was so enraged by Xuan Hao's thuggish behavior that she lost her temper and didn't have time to carefully examine his soul power fluctuations.
At this moment, as Xuan Hao unleashed his power without any concealment, a fierce, powerful, and even slightly awe-inspiring soul force filled the entire Hall of State Affairs.
Bibi Dong was stunned.
Two years ago, when this bastard left Wuhun City for Tiandou City, he was only level 60-something, at the Soul Emperor level.
In just over a year, he actually skipped ten soul power levels and soared directly to the peak of level 79 Soul Saint?!
"See that?"
Xuan Hao raised an eyebrow with a hint of smugness. "I really have been working hard at cultivation.
I haven't been indulging in any debauchery or revelry.
If I spent my days in the lap of luxury in Tian Dou City, teasing young girls, could I have broken through to level 79 at this age?"
"At most, when I'm tired from training, I'll hold Na'er or Rongrong to relax and play a few light games.
Your Holiness, can you now give me some objective recognition of my innocence and efforts?"
Bibi Dong looked at his smug face and snorted coldly, but the last bit of anger in her heart finally dissipated completely.
Although she had to take nine out of ten of Xuan Hao's words with a grain of salt and question their veracity, the undeniable and incredibly powerful level seventy-nine cultivation level before her was absolutely genuine.
The cultivation of a Soul Master cannot be faked.
If he were truly indulging in women every day, even with extraordinary talent, it would be impossible for him to have grown to this level in such a short time.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong felt a strange sense of relief that she herself was unaware of.
When Xuan Hao saw that Bibi Dong's cold expression softened, his shameless nature of taking advantage of the situation immediately kicked in again.
Before Bibi Dong could react, he flashed and circled behind her.
This time, he didn't use any fancy tricks. Instead, he wrapped his arms tightly around Bibi Dong from behind, pulling her into his broad and warm embrace.
"you--!"
Her body fell once again into that embrace brimming with masculine hormones and violent energy. Bibi Dong's slender waist stiffened, and she scolded him somewhat speechlessly:
"Xuanhao! You really think I can't handle you? Didn't that knee strike teach you a lesson?!"
