Chapter 115

Spirit Hall, inside the Grand Elder's sleeping quarters!

Inside the sleeping palace there are many rooms—studies, secret chambers, pill rooms, bedrooms—seven or eight of each.

And Qianxunji resides in the finest bedroom.

At this moment, Qianxunji stood with his hands behind his back outside a room door.

Bo Sai Xi stood to his right, Qian Daoliu to his left.

"Dong…… dong…… dong!"

Qianxunji reached out and knocked on the door.

As soon as he knocked, a surprised voice came from inside.

"Is Master back?"

Then the door swung open quickly; Bibidong saw it was indeed Qianxunji and hurriedly leapt into his arms.

Qianxunji then embraced Bibidong with both hands and spun around on the spot.

"Mwah… mwah!"

Bibidong gave Qianxunji's face two hard kisses before stepping back onto the ground.

Then Bibidong glanced at Bo Sai Xi beside her, and her expression shifted instantly.

Because she realized the woman before her was just as beautiful as herself, which greatly surprised her.

Beauty capable of overturning kingdoms, with an elegant and noble bearing…

Because, among humans, she hasn't yet encountered any woman as beautiful as herself; even if such a woman existed, she'd be slightly inferior.

This isn't narcissism—it's simply the truth that she is universally acknowledged as the continent's foremost beauty.

Only A Yin, a woman transformed from a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast, can rival her beauty, and she is also voluptuous and alluring; Qianxunji is quite fond of her.

But the woman before her, Bibidong could tell, was definitely human.

Bibidong studied the woman closely, noticing her aura was enduring and her whole presence unfathomable, like a Divine Abode.

Moreover, recalling that a few days earlier Qianxunji had taken Qian Daoliu to Sea God Island, saying he was seeking a wife for Qian Daoliu.

Bibidong immediately realized that the heavenly-beautiful woman before her was the woman revered as the Sea God on Sea God Island, Bo Sai Xi.

Thinking this, Bibidong quickly seized Bo Sai Xi's hand and called out affectionately:

"You must be the famed Sea God of Sea God Island, Bo Sai Xi, right?"

"Now that I've seen you, you truly live up to your reputation—you're really beautiful."

Bo Sai Xi gazed at the woman before her whose beauty matched her own; though she had long dwelled on Sea God Island, she also knew some things about the continent.

Moreover, combined with Qianxunji's mention of the Saintess Bibidong along the way, Bo Sai Xi instantly realized the woman before her was Bibidong.

Thus, Bo Sai Xi gently took Bibidong's hand and smiled, saying:

"You must be the continent's foremost beauty, the genius Saintess of Spirit Hall, Bibidong, right?"

"Now that I've seen you, you really are beautiful—no wonder Qianxunji has been mentioning you all along the way, saying he'll surely love you to death when he returns."

"Ah?" Bibidong gasped, her expression shifting.

She glanced at Qianxunji, seeing him staring at her with intense heat; thinking of his terrifying Steel Body, Bibidong was suddenly shocked and felt a chill.

Bibidong's delicate frame trembled; she quickly shifted her focus and said:

"I won't let him love me to death—that's awful."

Then, Bibidong realized this trip was to find a wife for Qian Daoliu, so she took Bo Sai Xi's hand and asked with a grin:

"Elder sister, have you been won over by the Grand Elder these past few days?"

Bo Sai Xi, upon hearing this, after a moment's thought understood the implication and explained:

"How could she possibly get me? I find him aggravating; if he dared to take me, I'd slap him to death."

Bibidong still didn't catch the meaning, only thinking this was sweet talk between Bo Sai Xi and Qian Daoliu, so she said:

"Elder sister, since it's already late, I won't keep you from your business with the Grand Elder—hurry back to your room with him!"

"Ah?" Bo Sai Xi gasped, realizing she'd been too vague, and corrected herself:

"Bibidong, you've misunderstood; I find Qian Daoliu, that old helper, unappetizing—how could I be his wife?"

"Being his wife? I'd rather smash my head into a block of tofu and die."

"What? What? What?" Bibidong pursed her sexy red lips, her gaze sweeping over Qian Daoliu's face, Bo Sai Xi's face, and Qianxunji's face, bewildered, she said:

"You three, you've made my head spin—what on earth is going on?"

Qian Daoliu, hearing this, felt embarrassed to speak.

After all, before going to Sea God Island, he had confidently said he would marry Bo Sai Xi and have seven or eight children.

The result is, Bo Sai Xi has now been brought back to Spirit Hall.

But the groom is not him.

If it's not him, it's still Qianxunji.

Especially, Bo Sai Xi doesn't want to come to Spirit Hall; she's angry and now she's disparaging him, belittling him utterly.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu feels he has lost all face; he wishes he could just smash his head into a block of tofu and die.

No, tofu won't kill him; better to smash his head into Qianxunji's body and die.

The more Qian Daoliu thinks about it, the more he loses face; especially being glanced at doubtfully by Bibidong back and forth, he feels he's lost all shame for life, utterly embarrassed.

Thus, lowering his head, he said:

"Um, I'll go back to my room to sleep first; don't make too much trouble, go to bed early tonight."

Having said that, Qian Daoliu walked into the adjacent room separated by a wall, closed the door, concealed all his aura, pressed his ear against the door, and listened outside.

Bibidong saw Qian Daoliu flee as if escaping; at this moment she couldn't not know what had happened, so she said:

"Master, you wouldn't have snatched Bo Sai Xi away, would you?"

Qianxunji heard the words, said nothing, but instead proved it directly with his actions.

He placed his hand on Bo Sai Xi's slender waist, lifted her in a horizontal hold, and strode into the spacious room with steps that showed no regard for kin.

Then, an incredibly awesome voice sounded.

"Dong'er, close the door properly; Master has important matters to attend to."

"Okay, Master!"

Bibidong responded with a sound, quickly closed the door. Turning to see Qianxunji holding Bo Sai Xi, she was still dazed, muttering:

"The meaning is, Qian Daoliu went to marry the dream goddess Bo Sai Xi he had longed for decades, but failed to win her, because Bo Sai Xi didn't even look at him."

"And Qianxunji accompanied Qian Daoliu on this trip, and the result was him embracing the beauty and returning home?"

Thinking this through, Bibidong shook her head and muttered:

"Indeed, when dealing with an outstanding woman, one must exude an overbearing aura!"

"And Grand Elder, a sycophant, a sycophant, ends up with nothing after sucking up!"

In the neighboring room, Qian Daoliu heard Bibidong say that line about sycophants ending up with nothing, his face full of anger and pain.

Of course, he wasn't angry at Bibidong, but angry at himself for being such a sycophant, fawning too much, and ultimately being ignored by Bo Sai Xi.

If he had been as overbearing as Qianxunji, or even as overbearing as Tangchen, he might have won Bo Sai Xi decades ago.

At this moment, Qian Daoliu finally realized: a man must exude an overbearing aura!

Too bad, it's already too late!
