"Teacher! I know I was wrong!"
"I really know I was wrong!"
"I know I hurt you before, but in my heart, I've always cared about you!"
Inside the Pope's Hall.
Thinking about the happy days she had spent with her teacher, Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong was overwhelmed with regret and sorrow. Tears streamed down her face as she sobbed uncontrollably.
To change Qian Xunji's mind, she cried while recalling every little moment she had shared with him.
"I still remember the first time you took me flying when I was a child!"
"I still remember how you celebrated my birthday and lifted me high into the air!"
"I still remember how, when I was sick and the medicine was too hot, you would blow on it to cool it down for me!"
But as Qian Xunji listened, he felt nothing but growing disgust and revulsion.
In the past, the original him had treated Bibi Dong so well. And yet, this so-called fairy still betrayed him for that worthless waste, Yu Xiaogang, doing so many ungrateful things.
Now, she regrets it?
But that's only because I crippled her cultivation, took away her spirit bones, and "fulfilled" her wish to be with Yu Xiaogang, forcing her to see his true nature.
If I hadn't done that, would she have ever realized her mistake?
She probably would have gone to her grave believing she was right, thinking I only wanted to use her and didn't care about her happiness.
"Bibi Dong, don't call me teacher."
Qian Xunji's face was cold as he cut her off mercilessly.
"I have no disciple like you."
"This was your own choice, wasn't it?"
"The Qian Xunji you once knew already died the moment you chose that waste over me and argued with me."
"He died the moment you were willing to kill yourself just to force me to accept you and that piece of trash."
—Already dead.
Hearing these words, Bibi Dong's heart ached even more.
From that sentence, she could feel it—how much pain, how much disappointment, how much heartbreak her teacher must have felt when she had repeatedly fought him over that weak and cowardly Yu Xiaogang, when she had threatened him with death to get what she wanted.
"Teacher… I'm sorry."
In the original story, Bibi Dong had chased after love with Yu Xiaogang but failed. After suffering in darkness and torment at Qian Xunji's hands, who had become the "Secret Chamber Douluo," she blackened completely.
She began to hate Qian Xunji, hate Qian Renxue, hate Spirit City—
Hate the entire world!
Only Yu Xiaogang remained as the one pure thing in her heart.
Her love for Yu Xiaogang became twisted to the point where she, the great Pope of Spirit Hall, even treated the tea he drank like a treasured delicacy.
But now, under Qian Xunji's intervention, she had never suffered at his hands in some secret chamber.
Instead, after believing she had finally found happiness and returning to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan with Yu Xiaogang, she was met with an even darker and crueler torment.
Now, in Bibi Dong's heart—
Qian Xunji had become the only pure thing in her life, her untouchable, perfect memory.
Thinking about the beautiful and happy days she once spent in Spirit City, her hatred for Yu Xiaogang burned fiercely.
Her hatred for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan burned just as fiercely!
Even though she felt unbearable regret and sorrow at Qian Xunji's words, the memories of her time in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, those inhumane days of imprisonment, the long, dark, and painful torture—
They made her resent Qian Xunji just a little.
'Teacher, I know I was wrong! But do you know how much pain, how much darkness I endured in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?'
'I have already come back. I admitted my mistakes like this!'
'Can't you forgive me? Can't you take me back as your disciple, restore my cultivation, and make me the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall again?'
'Then, let me use Spirit Hall's power for revenge!'
'I was wrong back then! But you also crippled my cultivation and took away my spirit bones!'
'Putting everything aside, do you think you were completely innocent?'
'Now, I regret it. Back then, if you had just tried harder to persuade me, if you had just found a way to show me what kind of weak and hypocritical man Yu Xiaogang really was—'
'Maybe I wouldn't have wanted to elope with him!'
But Qian Xunji no longer cared about Bibi Dong's thoughts.
After summoning her and completely extinguishing her hope of returning, he had already made his final decision.
Having settled things once and for all, he coldly called in a squad of Holy Emperor warriors.
"Take this Bibi Dong out of here!"
"Throw her out of Spirit City!"
"From now on, she is not allowed to come near us again!"
"Yes!"
The Holy Emperor warriors responded excitedly before turning to look at Bibi Dong with cold, mocking gazes.
"Teacher! No!!"
"Please, just give me one more chance!"
Hearing that Qian Xunji had no intention of giving her any opportunity, Bibi Dong felt as if she had been struck by lightning. Her heart was filled with despair.
She wanted to struggle, but the Holy Emperor warriors stepped forward, sneering as they gestured toward the door.
"Please leave."
Realizing there was no changing things now, Bibi Dong clenched her fists tightly, feeling a mixture of resentment, regret, and hopelessness.
In the end, she had no choice but to leave.
Soon, she was escorted out of Spirit City.
Standing outside, she gazed at the setting sun on the horizon.
Her heart was filled with nothing but despair and confusion.
Where could she go now?
Returning to Spirit City was no longer an option.
With her cultivation crippled and her body disabled, how could she possibly take revenge on the one who had deceived her, ruined her life, and left her betrayed by everyone—Yu Xiaogang and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan?
At the same time, in Spirit City's prison district…
As the dominant force in the soul master world, Spirit Hall had always carried the responsibility of maintaining order, cracking down on criminals and fallen soul masters, as well as executing evil soul masters who killed others for cultivation.
For years, Spirit City had detained captured fallen soul masters.
The most heinous were executed.
The worst criminals were imprisoned.
The lesser offenders were either sent to Slaughter City or locked up in Spirit City's dungeons.
Evil soul masters? They were executed without exception.
But today, something big happened in the prison district.
Due to poor security, a group of fallen soul masters actually escaped.
They fled Spirit City.
Having lost all hope of returning to Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong felt only despair and confusion about the future.
After leaving Spirit City, she wandered aimlessly along the main road.
Unknowingly, night fell.
As she walked in a daze, numb to the world, suddenly—
A chorus of eerie, maniacal laughter and crazed shouting echoed behind her, growing louder and louder.
"Hahaha! We actually escaped! We made it out of Spirit Hall!"
"So what if it's Spirit Hall? This granddaddy still got away!"
"Woohoo! From now on, the world is ours to roam freely!"
