Chapter 141: A Divinity Not Even a Dog Would Want
"Do you think you can just take the Immortal Herb so easily?" Qin Xuan's figure flashed, and Yu Xiaogang lunged at empty air, falling flat on his face.
"You name it!" he said with a fawning smile. "As long as Lord Qin Xuan has any instructions, this humble one will definitely fulfill them."
[Yu Xiaogang's resentment +88888]
"The Immortal Herb isn't given to you for free," Qin Xuan said. "I need you to make a choice."
"What choice?" An ominous premonition rose in Yu Xiaogang's heart.
"Because of you, Bibi Dong has already lost her position as the Holy Maiden," Qin Xuan said. "So, we made a bet. A bet on whether the Immortal Herb or she is more important in your heart. The first choice is to take the herb, leave Spirit City, and never return. The second is to elope with Bibi Dong."
"Then this Immortal Herb…" Yu Xiaogang looked at it with longing.
"What, after abducting a genius from our Spirit Hall, you still want the herb? Are you planning to take all the benefits?" Qin Xuan said, tossing the jade box in his hand. "I'll count to three. If you still don't choose, you won't get anything. Three."
Before he could even count to one, Yu Xiaogang stepped forward and snatched the box. "I choose the Immortal Herb."
Relying on oneself was better than relying on others. At this point, he had had enough of being looked down upon. Bibi Dong, having lost her status, would no longer be able to help him. Instead, she would bring him huge trouble. It was better to obtain the Immortal Herb and become a powerful figure on his own.
Qin Xuan showed a playful smile. "Aren't you going to reconsider? I forgot to tell you, in order to completely bind Bibi Dong to Spirit Hall, the Supreme Pontiff plans to marry her to me. You still have time to regret it."

"There's nothing to regret. She and I were people from two different worlds," he said, his subservient demeanor gone. He turned and walked down the mountain, a strong hint of resentment in his eyes. That scoundrel Qin Xuan had used the herb, which should have been his, to force him to give up Bibi Dong. He swore that one day, he would destroy Spirit Hall and take his revenge.
Yu Xiaogang left. Qin Xuan controlled his flying sword to descend, and Bibi Dong landed on the cliff beside him.
"He was right. From the beginning, we were people from two different worlds," she said, her gaze towards his receding figure now holding only the coldness of a stranger. From now on, they would have no further connection.
"What are your plans next?" Qin Xuan asked casually.
"The current me is still too weak," she said, her hand clenching into a fist as if to grasp the setting sun. "If I hadn't just blindly fled from Qian Xunji, he might not have succeeded so easily. Therefore, I plan to go to the Slaughter City to obtain the Slaughter God Domain. Only there can I overcome fear and truly grow."
"Must it be so?" Qin Xuan thought of the Rakshasa God. It was a Divinity full of traps, a complete rip-off. Not even a dog would want such a God Position.
"Ah," Bibi Dong acknowledged softly, a crystal tear hanging on her chin. "I don't want to be that helpless self anymore. I hate that appearance."
"If that's the case, then work hard," he said, having no intention of stopping her. He glanced towards the forest. Mo Ya and Bai Feng, hidden within, nodded slightly. Their figures flashed, and they chased in the direction Yu Xiaogang had left.
