The Papal Palace is Broken.
Bibi Dong hadn't rested since returning from the academic building.
She stood by the window, gazing at the night sky, her eyes vacant, not looking at anything, but lost in thought.
Everything that had happened today left her with complex emotions.
They say a phoenix without its feathers is no better than a chicken; now she had fallen from the level of a Title Douluo, and those Spirit Hall elders and Platinum Bishops were actually opposing her for the sake of Ladio!
This blow was secondary, even though she couldn't upgrade her soul power no matter how she cultivated.
What she found most unacceptable was Yu Xiaogang's true appearance.
Before seeing Yu Xiaogang, she could endlessly idealize him in her mind—his appearance, his knowledge, his character… in short, Yu Xiaogang had almost become her only true god.
Although Ladio had repeatedly reminded her that it was just a dream.
As long as she hadn't seen Yu Xiaogang, she could still deceive herself.
But now, she couldn't.
She saw Yu Xiaogang, and such a weathered Yu Xiaogang, weak and insecure, with a touch of cunning, and theoretically completely incomparable to Ladio.
The dream had to end.
The Yu Xiaogang in her heart was ultimately a falsehood.
"Xiaogang, how did you become like this? Did I remember wrong? Or have you changed...?" Bibi Dong murmured to herself. Actually, she didn't want to see Yu Xiaogang now.
If she could, she would prefer Yu Xiaogang to be like Ladio.
Still with a cold and arrogant attitude towards everyone, yet possessing talents that others lacked.
The current Ladio perfectly matched her fantasy of Yu Xiaogang.
"Knock knock knock...!"
A knock sounded on the door.
Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Why was someone knocking on her door at this hour?
"Teacher, it's me..."
Hu Liena's voice rang out.
Bibi Dong let her in. Both teacher and student were beauties, now wearing thin pajamas, sitting side-by-side on the sofa—one mature and aloof, the other alluring and youthful.
Just looking at them, one could tell they smelled wonderful.
Hu Liena held Bibi Dong's jade-like arm, placing it against her chest, and said softly, "Teacher, a conflict broke out in the academic building. It's said that some Soul Master factions were dissatisfied with the number of spots and even killed someone!"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "Those guys, they'd fight tooth and nail to be Ladio's lab rats, they're really pathetic!"
"And then...?"
Bibi Dong perked up her ears.
Hu Liena continued, "Then Sword Douluo and the head of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan intervened and calmed things down... I heard that the Scholars' Alliance is still holding back their anger, so I came to report to you."
Hearing that the Scholars' Alliance had started scheming against each other over the competition for Ladio's experimental subjects, Bibi Dong felt inexplicably moved.
This ability to make everyone fight over someone with just a slight move was something she hoped Yu Xiaogang would possess.
Now, however, it was appearing in Ladio.
"Nana, don't worry about them. What happens in the Scholars' Alliance is none of our business!" Bibi Dong snorted. Those blind fools couldn't even tell who the real masters were!
Hu Liena nodded and said, "Teacher, Elder Demon Bear, whom you asked me to keep an eye on, is still guarding Mr. Ladio's laboratory door, he hasn't moved an inch." "
!!!" Bibi Dong was stunned. Demon Bear Douluo, that was someone Qian Daoliu had personally praised, saying he could become the new Elder.
And yet he'd lowered himself to be Ladio's doorman?!
"Self-degradation! No wonder he dared to oppose me, he's become Ladio's lackey!" Bibi Dong said disdainfully, annoyed.
Hu Liena hesitated. She felt her teacher was too extreme, especially regarding Mr. Ladio's situation.
If things continued like this, her teacher might run into trouble!
"Nana, why did you stop talking?" Bibi Dong asked.
Hu Liena rested her head on Bibi Dong's shoulder and said sweetly, "Teacher, I was just thinking, if you and Mr. Radio could get along well, you'd definitely be able to control the Spirit Hall more tightly, right?"
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong cautiously, subtly advising her.
Bibi Dong frowned immediately, pinched Hu Liena's nose, and said, "Nana! Don't think like that. Remember, it's only when he shows me goodwill that it's possible, not the other way around."
"And so what if Radio isn't there? Does that mean the Spirit Hall is still mine?"
"Nana, you need to know that any master is only temporary. He's just showing off now. Before long, people will forget him, and then you'll know the difference between us,"
Bibi Dong said confidently.
Hu Liena blinked, thinking her teacher was far too confident!
If ten thousand years had passed, Mr. Radio would have been recorded in history with a significant mark, but what about her teacher? Even optimistically, he probably wouldn't have been mentioned more than once!
However, her teacher's prejudice against Mr. Ladio was too great; she had to help her teacher change her perception!
...
The next day.
In the laboratory, on an experimental table, Lingyuan Douluo lay sprawled out, twitching slightly, a layer of sweat covering her body, her clothes clinging to her skin, emitting a faint fragrance.
The mature and beautiful woman's face was flushed, her eyes were hazy, and her sexy thin lips moved slightly.
"Enough...enough..."
Lingyuan Douluo's eyes were almost unfocused.
Ladio was washing his hands beside her, glancing at Lingyuan Douluo with satisfaction.
This woman's tenacity was quite suitable for being his secretary.
After a night of experiments, repeatedly removing and removing her nine spirit rings, under intense stimulation, she hadn't once asked to stop, only kept crying out...
It was because of this that Ladio obtained a near-perfect theory.
"Master Ladio...I, I'm going to break down..."
Lingyuan Douluo said weakly.
Ladio said, "It's over. Thanks to your cooperation, half of my theory is complete. I'll give you your reward later."
"No...no need, just give me back my spirit rings..."
Ling Yuan Douluo gasped, feeling as if her bones were melting, and turned her head with all her might.
Then she saw the nine jade jars that had originally held her spirit rings, five of which had been extinguished!
The remaining ones had also become extremely dim.
"!!!" Ling Yuan Douluo was stunned.
What kind of horrific treatment had she suffered? She
originally had nine spirit rings, but now only five remained!
"I...I...you..." Ling Yuan Douluo stammered, her pupils constricting as she stared at Ladio in disbelief.
This despicable man had not only ruined her, but had also destroyed her spirit rings!
Ladio ignored her, glanced at the time, and said, "The two thousand experimental personnel should have arrived by now. Clean up yourself, then come down and restore the experimental table to its original state." He
turned and left, behaving like a complete scumbag.
