Chapter 137: The Darkening of Bibi Dong
"What do you mean by 'not good at it'?" Qin Xuan glared at Nong Yu. "It's just that my wife is too understanding. Do you understand what it means to be touched?"
"But isn't it normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines?" Nong Yu, who came from a different era, tilted her head and said as a matter of course.
"Since that's the case, then you should serve me tonight," Qin Xuan said, putting his arm around her shoulder. "Wife, what do you think?"
"Nong Yu is a good girl. I think she's good," Jing Ni nodded in deep agreement.
Nong Yu instantly turned bright red. Just then, little A Yan cooed beside them, hungry.
"Wife, A Yan is hungry. I'll take her to be fed," Nong Yu said, picking up the child and scurrying back to her room.
"She's truly a reserved little girl," Qin Xuan chuckled, then lay back in Jing Ni's arms. He sighed softly. He found that after everything, he no longer had the initial impulsiveness towards Bibi Dong. She had become more of a pawn in his plans. The reason he had saved her was more to use the opportunity to eliminate Qian Xunji.
Now, he would let fate decide. In short, he would not allow Bibi Dong to be with Yu Xiaogang, or any other man besides himself. Since she already bore his mark, whether to take her or not was his business; no one else could lay claim to her.
In the dark space of her consciousness, Bibi Dong drifted aimlessly. At a certain moment, a dazzling golden flame rose, dispelling the darkness. Her pale face rapidly regained its color.
Beside her, Qin Xuan, who had been meticulously caring for her, let out a sigh of relief. That hand chop from Qian Xunji had caused severe internal injuries; he was truly a beast.
After another moment, Bibi Dong's eyes trembled, and she slowly struggled to open them.
"Are you awake?" a leisurely chuckle sounded in her ear.
"Is this a dream?" she murmured, seeing Qin Xuan smiling beside her.
"Yes, it's a dream," he said with a straight face. "Congratulations, the surgery was successful, and you are now a boy."
As she was about to get up, a sharp pain shot through her neck. The memories from the secret chamber flooded her mind. She checked her body and her clothes, and after confirming there was nothing unusual, she burst into tears, throwing herself into Qin Xuan's arms and sobbing loudly.
He said nothing, simply letting her cry. After a long while, her sobs subsided.
"I'm sorry, I lost control," she said, reluctantly getting up.
"It's alright," he smiled gently, wiping away her tears. "Everything is over now. This is the Elder Palace, my residence. No one can harm you here. What are your plans for the future?"
A cold glint appeared in her beautiful eyes. "My teacher—no, Qian Xunji—he's a shameless beast. Sooner or later, I will kill him."
Has she already darkened? Qin Xuan thought. "And then? Destroy the Angel Clan? Destroy Spirit Hall? Destroy the entire world?"
"Am I that bad?" she pouted.
"Not bad, I'd say extreme," he nodded earnestly. "Love-struck, naive, an airhead. Once you suffer a major setback, you turn dark and want to drag everyone down with you."
"I don't! The one who hurt me is Qian Xunji. I won't implicate others," she retorted.
"That's hard to say," he said. "Think carefully. If I hadn't saved you, what would you have done? And reflect on the foolish things you did before, like leaking Spirit Hall's core secrets to Yu Xiaogang. If it were anyone else, they would have died countless times over."
Bibi Dong fell silent. She couldn't deny that if Qian Xunji had succeeded, she might indeed have dragged everyone in Spirit Hall down with her.
"Alright, back to the main topic," Qin Xuan said, changing the subject. "Regarding Qian Xunji, you can rest assured. I made a deal with him using an Immortal Herb. From now on, he won't bother you again. However, in return, you now have two choices. The first is to marry me—"
