Chapter 8 Kidnapping Yu Xiaogang
When Bibi Dong looked up, she saw that Chen Yao was holding a huge package.
Just as Bibi Dong was wondering what Chen Yao was holding, Chen Yao suddenly threw the package to the ground, the opening instantly opening to reveal its contents.
"Bibi Dong, look who I brought!"
Hearing Chen Yao's words, Bibi Dong quickly looked down.
She saw that the package contained nothing but a man.
The man was dressed very simply, his hair was messy, and his beard was unkempt, obscuring his face somewhat; clearly, he hadn't groomed himself in a long time.
But Bibi Dong instinctively recognized him instantly—it was her beloved Yu Xiaogang!
"Ugh! Ugh!"
Bibi Dong's emotions surged, her body struggling violently, emitting indistinct whimpers towards Chen Yao.
"Shh, don't make a sound, or you'll wake him up."
Chen Yao smiled wickedly, putting a finger to his lips, then pointing at Bibi Dong, reminding her of his current state.
Bibi Dong was startled by his words and quickly quieted down.
Even if she had to separate from Yu Xiaogang, she wanted to show her most beautiful side.
She absolutely couldn't accept waking Yu Xiaogang and letting him see her in this despicable state!
"Tsk, so obedient."
Seeing Bibi Dong quiet down, Chen Yao ruffled her hair.
However, Bibi Dong didn't react. Compared to what she had experienced these past few days, the humiliation of Chen Yao treating her like a pet was nothing.
In fact, this gentle caress gave Bibi Dong a strange sense of enjoyment.
But Bibi Dong struggled intensely inside, shaking off this physical desire and instinct. She raised her head, staring intently at Chen Yao, her eyes full of questioning.
Seeing Bibi Dong's expression, Chen Yao smiled again and then untied the restraints on her body and mouth.
With the restraints removed, Bibi Dong felt a sense of relief, but after the relief, a strange emptiness followed.
Bibi Dong was terrified and dared not investigate the source of this feeling. Instead, she quickly wrapped herself in the blanket, in case Yu Xiaogang suddenly woke up.
Then she questioned Chen Yao,
"I've done everything you said, why did you still go to find Xiaogang? What do you want?"
Bibi Dong was furious.
But she herself didn't know if she was angry because Chen Yao had hurt Yu Xiaogang, or because Chen Yao had deceived her.
"Don't worry, my life is tied to him, how could I possibly kill him?"
Chen Yao laughed.
Hearing this, Bibi Dong calmed down. Chen Yao was using Yu Xiaogang to threaten her; how could he possibly harm Yu Xiaogang?
"Then why did you bring him here?"
Bibi Dong asked.
"Holy Maiden, although I am safe for now, I can't keep you locked up here forever. In a few days, before you return, the Spirit Hall might be in chaos, and no matter how many letters you write, it won't be of any use.
If I let you go back, my fate as a lowly Soul Master will be uncertain, so I have to take some precautions in advance."
Bibi Dong was startled upon hearing this.
"You're going to lock Yu Xiaogang up?"
She had originally planned to feign an argument with Chen Yao first, and then settle accounts with him after returning to the Spirit Hall. But if Chen Yao really imprisoned Yu Xiaogang, things would get complicated.
"I did think about that, but unfortunately, although this guy is a piece of trash, he's still the direct descendant of the current sect leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. He's a hornet's nest, just like you. I don't dare touch him."
Chen Yao pointed to the unconscious Yu Xiaogang on the ground, a regretful look on his face, and then continued,
"So, for the sake of my own life, I have to pay a price."
As he spoke, Chen Yao summoned his spirit, and darkness condensed beneath his feet.
Two ferocious tentacles also emerged.
However, as soon as they appeared, one of the tentacles suddenly stabbed towards Yu Xiaogang's brow.
"Stop!"
Seeing this, Bibi Dong's eyes widened in fury, and she screamed, getting up from the bed and lunging at Chen Yao to stop him.
But she was directly swatted away by the other tentacle.
"Quiet, I told you I wouldn't kill him. I'm just using a little trick on him…"
Chen Yao glanced at Bibi Dong, who had been slapped away, then looked back at Yu Xiaogang.
Bibi Dong struggled to her feet and anxiously looked at Yu Xiaogang, only to find that although the tentacle had pierced Yu Xiaogang's brow, there was no wound and no blood flowing out.
Moreover, Yu Xiaogang's face showed no pain or struggle; he was quite calm.
Bibi Dong also noticed that some kind of dark liquid was flowing on the black tentacle, continuously being transported towards Yu Xiaogang's brow.
This scene made Bibi Dong frown deeply, but she was powerless to stop it and could only pray in her heart that Yu Xiaogang would be alright.
As time passed, under Bibi Dong's worried gaze, Yu Xiaogang's sallow face turned pitch black, unlike the skin tone of a normal person, as if it had been painted on.
Chen Yao's condition wasn't much better. His face was sickly pale, devoid of any color, and his soul power had plummeted from the level 20 threshold to level 11.
"Pfft!"
Finally, Chen Yao bit his tongue and spat a mouthful of bright red blood onto Yu Xiaogang's dark cheek.
The blood, upon landing on Yu Xiaogang's face, strangely seeped directly into his skin and disappeared instantly.
If Bibi Dong hadn't witnessed it with her own eyes, she would have thought she was hallucinating.
After doing this, Chen Yao withdrew the tentacles from Yu Xiaogang's body, then collapsed to the ground, utterly exhausted.
His long, sweat-drenched hair was disheveled, his face pale and bloodless, with bright red bloodstains at the corners of his mouth.
He possessed an indescribable, eerie, and sinister aura.
Bibi Dong, watching this scene, was momentarily stunned.
But the next moment, Bibi Dong remembered Yu Xiaogang, who was still lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance. She snapped back to reality and anxiously called out to Chen Yao,
"What did you do to him?"
"Cough cough!"
Chen Yao didn't immediately respond to Bibi Dong. Instead, his body hunched over, almost touching the ground, coughing up blood violently.
Accustomed to Chen Yao's unrestrained arrogance and condescending humiliation of her, seeing him now in this weak and painful state, she felt not pleasure, but a strange… pity?
