"Senior Spirit Kite Douluo, you're too kind. By the way, I haven't had the chance to congratulate you on your promotion to Title Douluo yet," Qin Xuan said, secretly checking the system.
To his surprise, there was no hint of a possible conquest? It seemed that the character was too obscure, even the original story only briefly mentioned her.
"Hehe, you're really a charming and adorable little fellow," Spirit Kite Douluo said with a smile, her voice full of allure. "How about after the competition, I give you a chance for some compensation?"
"Senior Spirit Kite, I'm a married man." Qin Xuan thought to himself, feeling that none of the Title Douluo were easy to deal with.
Without comparable strength, taking her words seriously might lead to dire consequences.
Spirit Kite didn't seem offended; instead, her playful expression grew more intense. "I didn't expect you to be such a family-oriented person. It's a pity; I was planning to teach you some adult games."
She deliberately stretched, her dress and tight armor outlining her curvaceous figure.
Qin Xuan muttered under his breath, "Demoness."
Just then, a voice from outside announced, "His Holiness the Pope is here."
As the doors of the Elder Hall opened, everyone below the rank of Title Douluo, including Qin Xuan, placed their hands on their chests and bowed.
Soon, Qian Xunji entered with a commanding presence, his left hand lightly resting on his waist, his right hand behind his back.
Two men and one woman followed closely behind.
"Her?" Qin Xuan thought to himself, surprised.
While the two Title Douluo guardians were expected, Bibi Dong's appearance was completely unexpected.
Today, Bibi Dong wasn't wearing her usual light purple dress but a tight black and purple leather outfit. Her face lacked the previous naivety she showed in front of Yu Xiaogang.
Instead, she exuded confidence, her gaze steady and calm, even when faced with the powerful Title Douluo present. She appeared to embody the dignity of a Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall.
But unfortunately, hidden beneath was a romantic heart and an unknowing fearlessness.
Facing her beastly teacher, Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong was entirely unaware of how dangerous her current situation was.
It seemed that she was Qin Xuan's opponent, he realized.
"Father," Qian Xunji's gaze swept across the room. When he saw Qin Xuan, a brief flicker of coldness passed through his eyes.
He then placed his hands on his chest and bowed to Qian Daoliu, who was at the top of the hall.
Bibi Dong and her two guardians knelt on one knee.
"Everyone, rise," Qian Daoliu said, raising his right hand. A gentle soul force lifted Qian Xunji.
Bibi Dong and her two guardians stood up as well.
Having spent the past year training and being engrossed in flirtations with Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong finally had a chance to assess her opponent arranged by her teacher, Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji's purpose was simple and crude: to use this competition to prove that Qin Xuan was unworthy of the Holy Maiden.
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes quickly locked onto the fiery red figure.
When she realized that her opponent was Qin Xuan, whom she thought she would never see again, she was momentarily stunned.
"He's still alive?" Bibi Dong was both surprised and pleased, but also a bit unsettled.
In the Spirit Hall, Qin Xuan was one of her few friends.
He was also the first and only man to breach her third base.
Even her most cherished Yu Xiaogang had only made it to the second base, the most they did was hold hands. She lacked the courage to kiss him.
Moreover, Qin Xuan had made an agreement with her teacher, Qian Xunji: if Qin Xuan could emerge from the Slaughter City, her teacher would arrange her marriage to him.
With Qin Xuan standing here, it meant he had conquered the Slaughter City.
Does this mean she would be married to Qin Xuan?
No, absolutely not. She liked Yu Xiaogang and couldn't marry Qin Xuan.
As Bibi Dong was lost in her thoughts, she heard Qian Xunji's voice through soul transmission, "Disciple, Qin Xuan asked me to arrange a marriage with you before he went to the Slaughter City. I assume you know this. Do you want to marry him?"
Qian Xunji knew Bibi Dong loved Yu Xiaogang and was asking on purpose.
Bibi Dong was taken aback and hesitated for a moment, biting her red lips before replying, "Disciple and he are just friends; I don't have those kinds of feelings for him."
Standing beside Qian Daoliu, Qian Xunji's lips curled into a barely noticeable smile. "Good. Then you should give it your all to defeat him. I will help you cancel this marriage. If necessary, you can use lethal force. Defeat him, and he'll never bother you again."
"I will defeat him," Bibi Dong said, though she didn't mention killing Qin Xuan. Her heart felt empty and her chest tight, a feeling she couldn't quite describe.
Qian Xunji frowned slightly, evidently dissatisfied with Bibi Dong's response. He turned to Qian Daoliu and said, "Father, we can begin."
Qian Daoliu nodded slowly, knowing that Qian Xunji had just used soul transmission and was likely plotting something.
But in front of so many people, it was not appropriate to expose it.
If anything unexpected happened, he would personally intervene.
Standing beside Qian Daoliu, Jiang Jun stepped forward, leaning on his Dragonstaff, and said loudly, "Xuan'er, it's time for you to showcase the results of your year of training in the Slaughter City."
At these words, the entire hall erupted in astonishment. The Title Douluo elders, who were confident in their strength, were all visibly shocked.
No one expected this external disciple to have gone to the Slaughter City.
And he had emerged after just a year.
It was truly extraordinary.
Even Tang Hao, who was renowned as the most talented in the past century, hadn't been so astonishing.
"Yes, teacher." Qin Xuan responded respectfully and stepped into the center of the hall.
"Disciple, test my second brother's strength," Qian Xunji's voice rang out.
"Yes, teacher." Bibi Dong also stepped forward, standing twenty steps away from Qin Xuan.
"Sorry, Qin Xuan, I'm glad you survived that place, but today I have a reason to win."
Bibi Dong's gaze towards Qin Xuan was complex and apologetic, but soon became resolute. She struck a fighting stance and said, "Bibi Dong, Spirit: Death Spider Emperor, Level 72 Control System Battle Soul Saint, please give me your guidance."
