Chapter 5 The Consequences of Revenge
Chen Yao's hands had been wandering aimlessly, his attention absorbed and somewhat absent-minded, his mouth responding subconsciously.
But when he came to his senses, his hands froze, his eyes widened, and the smile on his face instantly vanished.
Seeing Chen Yao's stunned expression, a glint of pleasure flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. She didn't break free from Chen Yao's still-attached hands, and continued to sneer.
"Didn't you hear me? Then I'll say it again, my name is Bibi Dong, the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall you know!"
Bibi Dong's words were forceful and clear, like a series of hammer blows striking Chen Yao's heart, shaking him to his core.
But quickly, Chen Yao shook his head again.
"Impossible! Everyone knows that Saintess Bibi Dong is the most dazzling prodigy of the Spirit Hall this generation. At only 23 years old, she has already reached the Soul Emperor realm, yet you don't have the slightest fluctuation of soul power. How could you possibly be the Saintess of my Spirit Hall? Moreover, the Saintess is incomparably noble; how could she possibly be staying here?"
Chen Yao said, his gaze fixed on Bibi Dong's face, trying to see a hint of panic in her to confirm his suspicions.
However, Bibi Dong remained calm and expressionless, shattering the last shred of hope in Chen Yao's heart.
"I have had my powers temporarily sealed by the Pope because of some mistakes I made. As for why I am here, it is only because of some things I have to do. If you don't believe me, you can ask people about my features. I believe those who have seen me can confirm it for me."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong reached out and touched her violet, slightly curly hair on her shoulder. Combined with the hazy blush on her body and her exquisitely beautiful face, she was simply irresistible.
Chen Yao had no time to appreciate the scenery. His mind was racing, trying to recall the hazy details of the plot to try and understand Bibi Dong's words.
If this person was indeed Bibi Dong, then her power being sealed by Qian Xunji must have been because her affair with Yu Xiaogang had been exposed.
And could Bibi Dong's presence in this slum hotel be related to the scene in the story where she parted ways with Yu Xiaogang?
"Speaking of which, we actually met yesterday at that restaurant. You looked quite disheveled, remember?"
Just as Chen Yao was trying to find clues to prove this woman wasn't Bibi Dong, she suddenly sneered.
Hearing this, Chen Yao's face turned green!
Now it was completely certain that the person before him was indeed Bibi Dong.
In other words, this woman didn't just have eyes like Bibi Dong; she was Bibi Dong herself!
Did this mean he had avenged himself on the very night he was suppressed by Bibi Dong yesterday?
Revenge was satisfying, but the consequences were unbearable for Chen Yao!
Thinking of what he had done to Bibi Dong last night and just now, Chen Yao felt he might be in deep trouble this time!
His heart sank to the bottom, his thoughts in utter chaos.
"What, still want to take me in now?"
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a breathtaking smile, her long, narrow eyes filled with a hint of mockery as she stared intently at Chen Yao's face.
She wanted to see fear and regret on Chen Yao's face to ease her hatred.
At the same time, a thousand vicious thoughts flashed through her mind; she vowed to make this devil wish he were dead!
At this moment, Chen Yao saw Bibi Dong's incomparably beautiful smile.
Undeniably beautiful, Chen Yao, who had thoroughly read Douluo Continent, knew what terrifying killing intent lurked behind that beautiful smile.
The seemingly flawless beauty harbored enough hatred and disgust for Chen Yao to attract the Rakshasa God.
However, it was too late for regrets now. It was better to think of a way to deal with it. Making Chen Yao sit idly by and wait for death was absolutely impossible.
Seeing Chen Yao's expression—a brief moment of panic followed by a quick return to calm—Bibi Dong felt a mixture of disappointment and surprise.
Was this man truly so audacious that he showed no fear even knowing he might face death after defiling the Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden?
Just as Bibi Dong was wondering, Chen Yao suddenly unleashed a burst of soul power, and the two pitch-black tentacles that had haunted her like a nightmare reappeared.
But this time, it wasn't humiliation he brought Bibi Dong, but true death.
The tentacles surged rapidly, wrapping around Bibi Dong's smooth neck before abruptly contracting.
Instantly, Bibi Dong felt a sharp pain in her neck, followed by a wave of suffocation that made her face flush red and her eyes roll back.
Faced with Chen Yao's countermeasure, she suddenly understood, and a bitter smile appeared on her face.
She hadn't expected this man to be so decisive, wanting to kill her to silence her.
But he was too naive.
The Holy Maiden was a matter of utmost importance to the Spirit Hall; even if she died, this level 19 Soul Master would eventually be discovered.
It was just a pity she wouldn't be able to witness this demon's gruesome death.
But Bibi Dong felt relatively relieved at this moment. She felt that her reaction just now had completely betrayed Yu Xiaogang, and she had no face to see him again, so it was better to die and be done with it.
However, just as Bibi Dong felt a buzzing in her ears, her vision blurred, and she was about to fall into eternal darkness, the tentacles wrapped around her neck suddenly loosened.
"Cough cough!"
Having lost the tentacles' control, Bibi Dong, who had fallen onto the bed, regained consciousness and coughed violently, instinctively greedily absorbing oxygen through her mouth and nose.
After a moment, having recovered, Bibi Dong raised her head and looked at Chen Yao, her delicate face full of mockery.
"Didn't you say you were going to kill me? Why did you stop? Are you scared?
*Slap!*
Before Bibi Dong could finish speaking, Chen Yao slapped her off the bed and onto the floor, sending her rolling several times before finally stopping after crashing into the old, worn-out furniture.
A moment later, Bibi Dong shakily crawled out from the wreckage, her eyes wide, clutching her swollen, bleeding cheek, staring at Chen Yao in disbelief.
A raging fire of anger and hatred was brewing within her.
She had always been pampered and adored, never expecting to be treated this way, especially after the previous humiliation.
Her hatred for Chen Yao had already reached its peak. Just as she was about to rush at him and fight him to the death,
she met Chen Yao's cold, emotionless black eyes.
"Be quiet. Here, you are no longer the noble saintess of yesterday; you are merely a prisoner."
