The sun was high in the sky when Yuan Longxuan finally got out of bed.
Perhaps it was the effect of his fused Dragon God bloodline, but these days he woke up full of energy every morning.
The previous night had been intense with A-Yin. Despite their passionate encounter, A-Yin couldn't quite keep up with him. Yuan Longxuan had restrained himself....after all, she was his wife, not an object of indulgence.
Yet, the experience strengthened his resolve: he would find more wives in the future.
With so many desires, life was never easy! A-Yin had only just recovered yesterday, and today she would need to recover again. But patience was a virtue....after all, his wife's well-being came first.
Looking over the potential candidates, only a few stood out: A-Yin, Bibi Dong, and Liu Erlong.
Tang Yuehua, though not exceptionally talented in her abilities, held familial significance...she was Tang San's aunt.
In the future, Tang San would naturally call Yuan Longxuan her uncle.
Suddenly, an audacious idea struck him.
As bold as it seemed, to someone with Yuan Longxuan's modern consciousness, it didn't feel shocking.
Some actions required pioneers to lead the way, to set examples for future generations. Sacrificing a little self for the greater good? That was just common sense!
"I, Yuan Longxuan, will carry on the legacy of the Douluo lineage!" he thought proudly.
Ordinary girls could hardly handle his constitution.
His strength far exceeded that of Tang Wulin in the Douluo Third Era.
Thankfully, his system had a hidden function that prevented unwanted pregnancies among his spouses.....otherwise, A-Yin might already be expecting.
Children would come eventually, but now wasn't the time.
Peeking at A-Yin, still sleeping soundly, Yuan Longxuan couldn't help but tease her, leaning over her small face with mischievous intent.
"Yue Yue, go easy… A-Yin loves you," she murmured sleepily.
After settling A-Yin, Yuan Longxuan prepared to move to his next target: the Star Dou Forest.
The Star Dou Forest was legendary, particularly during the Douluo First Era.
Even its outer regions were home to some thousand-year-old soul beasts, not to mention the mixed and inner zones, and certainly not the core.
Yet, to Yuan Longxuan, these ancient soul beasts were insignificant.
His purpose here… well, that couldn't be revealed just yet.
As for the Soul Hall and Yu Xiaogang, Yuan Longxuan wasn't in any rush to confront him. In his current state, he was effectively invincible.
Moreover, he already knew that Qian Xunji had issues with Yu Xiaogang, which made things even easier.
Bibi Dong… well, her favorability rating still seemed oddly low. Even spending the afternoon teasing Tang Yuehua only increased favor by a tiny bit.
Women, he mused, were truly unfathomable creatures.
Despite the mysteries of Bibi Dong's intentions, he trusted the system's favorability panel....it had never lied.
Ever since his "death," her favorability toward him had steadily risen.
Deciding there was no point dwelling on thoughts, Yuan Longxuan teleported directly to the core of Star Dou Forest, hoping for some gain.
Meanwhile, at Soul City, within the familiar interrogation chamber of the Pontiff Hall…
"Crack!"
"Smack!"
"Ahhh! Owww!"
The sound of the whip was relentless. A rhythm of pain echoed through the hall as Bibi Dong continued her merciless assault. Watching from the sidelines, two cowards could only stare, horrified at the spectacle.
"You… you demon! You're a monster!" the victim howled between strikes.
But Bibi Dong's face remained calm, her lips curved in a faint, almost indifferent smile.
"Crack!"
"Smack!"
"Ahhh!"
The whip's strikes fell in a cruelly measured rhythm.
And the one receiving this brutal punishment was none other than the young master of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan, future leader of the divine instructor lineage...Yu Xiaogang himself.
His body was battered, his cries echoing, but he was powerless against the unyielding Bibi Dong.
"Slash!"
"Snap!"
"Ah! Bibi Dong, you demon! I am the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Clan!"
Again and again, the whip tore across his body. Bibi Dong glanced at the five healing-type Soul Masters nearby, a small smirk on her face.
"Rotate your treatment. Do not let him die. If he dies, I'll hold you responsible," she commanded coldly.
The five healers trembled, knowing they were powerless to prevent Yu Xiaogang's agony.
They could only mend wounds; scars and bruises would remain forever.
The punishments had lasted an entire hour, and Bibi Dong had not spoken a single word...only relentless strikes with the steel whip.
"Big sister, Saintess… she—"
"Silence! The Saintess has her reasons," one whispered.
The others nodded, intimidated, knowing today's punishments were part of rigorous training.
Yu Xiaogang's body was marked from the steel whip, but the healers could only patch him up temporarily.
The scars were permanent reminders of his failure and betrayal.
Watching his helpless cries, Bibi Dong felt a twinge of satisfaction.
Perhaps she had been too gentle....the residual energy in Yu Xiaogang showed he still had some fight left.
Reflecting on how he had tormented Yuan Longxuan for months, a cold, satisfied smile formed on her lips.
"Report at nine every morning, and leave after nine at night. Training resources will be doubled.
Understood?" she instructed the healers, keeping her eyes on Yu Xiaogang's writhing form.
"Yes!" they chorused, trembling.
"Crack!"
"Smack!"
"Ahhh! Bibi Dong! You'll regret this!"
The relentless rhythm of the whip continued, echoing through the hall, leaving Yu Xiaogang in utter torment, and making it clear: betrayal of the Soul Hall carried a price too high to pay.
