Bibi Dong's steps faltered instantly, her heart feeling as if gripped tightly by an invisible hand, the pain suffocating her.
Her gaze was fixed on the happy couple, the light in her eyes gradually dimming.
Once, she and Yu Xiaogang had shared beautiful times, those memories flooding her mind like a tide, yet like sharp blades, piercing her heart time and time again.
Now, the person standing beside him was no longer her, but another woman.
"How... how could this be?
I betrayed the entire Spirit Hall for you, but now you've found another woman, all lovey-dovey here!"
"Why... why is this happening?"
Bibi Dong screamed inwardly, her lips trembling slightly, her hands clenching unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms, yet she seemed oblivious to the pain.
She stood there, stunned, watching Yu Xiaogang and that woman interact, her heart filled with mixed emotions.
There was anger, there was jealousy, but above all, there was endless sorrow.
She wanted to turn away, to stop looking at this heartbreaking scene, but her feet seemed nailed to the ground, unable to move an inch.
The surrounding noise seemed to have vanished, leaving only the three of them in the world.
Bibi Dong thought herself deeply affectionate.
After being hurt by Qian Xunji, she felt she was tainted and unworthy of Yu Xiaogang, so she stopped searching for him and even fought against the Spirit Hall for his sake.
She even had a child later, which made her feel even more guilty towards Yu Xiaogang.
Therefore, her hatred for Qian Renshang... was mixed with her guilt towards Yu Xiaogang!
If she hadn't had the child, perhaps there would still be a chance to salvage the situation!
But now...
"It's all fake... Bibi Dong, what are you holding onto?
You're willing to betray the entire Spirit Hall for such a heartless man."
"For him, you hurt your teacher, your friends, and even your child... You expect him to come and save you like a great hero, but... how ridiculous!"
"Haha... hahahaha..."
Bibi Dong laughed bitterly inside.
Bibi Dong's eyes gradually turned from initial shock to icy coldness, and finally to deep despair.
In the end, she suppressed the pain in her heart, turned and left, her lonely figure appearing so desolate in the crowd.
She didn't choose to kill Yu Xiaogang here, nor did she want him to see her in such a pathetic state… Since Yu Xiaogang had chosen another woman, they were now strangers!
Next time, if Yu Xiaogang dared to offend her again, she would kill him!
"Xiao Shang… Mom is sorry, Mom has come to find you."
Seeing Yu Xiaogang's state, Bibi Dong felt even more guilty towards Qian Renshang.
She had actually bullied Qian Renshang for Yu Xiaogang's sake; it was truly wrong of her.
Yu Xiaogang didn't deserve her!
After Bibi Dong left, Yu Xiaogang, who was being affectionate with Liu Erlong, seemed to sense something and turned around.
"Xiaogang, what are you looking at?"
"N-nothing…"
Yu Xiaogang replied guiltily, then looked at Liu Erlong with tender eyes.
This woman was sexy, fiery, and very charming; of course, her greatest advantage was that she was easily deceived!
Yu Xiaogang simply loved this kind of love-struck fool.
He'd had the same thing with the love-struck Bibi Dong.
Every woman in the throes of new love loses her mind; he'd only utter a few sweet words, and she'd be willing to die for him.
It was truly laughable.
Yu Xiaogang was a very pragmatic person.
He only needed the theoretical books in the Spirit Hall's library.
As for Bibi Dong… naive and innocent, she was too easy to use.
Bibi Dong was also a Holy Maiden, and for those years, Yu Xiaogang used her power to gain many benefits for himself.
Unfortunately, something unexpected happened later, and Bibi Dong disappeared.
What a pity for such a good "girlfriend."
"Xiaogang, now that you're back… I'll leave your Blue Lightning Academy to you.
After all, I don't like handling academy affairs anyway,"
Liu Erlong said affectionately, to which Yu Xiaogang feigned refusal.
"How can you do this?
This is the academy you painstakingly built!"
"What's wrong with that?
Everything I have can be yours... as long as you're willing, Xiaogang, I only want you."
Liu Erlong hugged Yu Xiaogang, pouring out her emotions without reservation.
She just loved this man, she didn't know why.
Although he was useless, had low soul power, and was arrogant, she just loved him for who he was!
" Too temperamental!"
Yu Xiaogang thought to himself, secretly pleased.
Having won over Liu Erlong, he now needed to prepare for the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Tournament.
He, Yu Xiaogang, was determined to become a man whose name would be etched in history!

Heaven Dou Royal Academy! Inside Villa No. 2!
Qian Renshang and Gu Yuena sat facing each other.
Moonlight streamed through the window, casting a soft silver glow on them.
Their hands clasped together, their expressions focused and solemn.
A mysterious light gradually emanated from them—the power of Yueshang.
The light spread slowly like ripples, enveloping the entire room.
Qian Renshang's eyes were tightly closed, his brows slightly furrowed, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Gu Yuena's breathing also became rapid as she tried to adjust the power within her body, resonating with Qian Renshang's aura.
As their cultivation deepened, the power of Yueshang grew stronger, its light flickering, making the air in the room seem heavy.
Their bodies trembled slightly, yet they gritted their teeth and persevered, trying to guide this powerful force smoothly through their meridians.
The surrounding objects trembled slightly under the impact of this force, but they paid no heed, completely immersed in their cultivation…
Finally, after an unknown amount of time, they slowly opened their eyes!
Almost simultaneously, they exclaimed with joy, "I'm level 75!"
Qian Renshang exclaimed with some emotion.
"Sister Nana, this Moonfall Power is simply terrifying… Just a few days ago we were only at level 74, and now we're already at level 75!
This cultivation speed is truly astonishing."
"Indeed, not only is my soul power now at level 75… but my injuries have also healed considerably."
Gu Yuena smiled slightly, quite satisfied.
Things seemed to be truly progressing in a positive direction lately!
"However… relying solely on Moonfall Power for cultivation isn't actually the fastest method,"
Gu Yuena added. Qian Renshang, excited, quickly pressed for an answer.
"Then what other methods are there?"
"Gods, your human god trials seem to offer tremendous improvement for Soul Masters..."
Gu Yuena replied calmly.
Qian Renshang's eyes widened, and he clapped his hands.
"That's right, Gods, I almost forgot about that!"
Qian Renshang's original plan was to lay the foundation for becoming a god, but he had been having so much fun with Gu Yuena these past few days that he completely forgot about it!
