"I can seal your strength, turning you into an ordinary woman completely."
"With your beauty, still as the Pope. If the title of Pope is put out there, your value will certainly be very high. After all, the noble and unparalleled Pope, fallen into the dust, I bet many people would go mad for you. Wouldn't they, oh beautiful Female Pope?" Gu Yuena cooed in Bibi Dong's ear, sliding her slender fingers over Bibi Dong's body.
In front of her, Gu Yuena, no matter who it was, had to bow in submission defiantly; opposing her was impossible.
However, for her, bullying such a beautiful woman as the Female Pope, the supreme human authority in the human world, was surprisingly delightful.
"You, no, you can't do this." Bibi Dong was almost driven mad; how had she provoked such a terrifying madwoman?
She was a Divine being, with strength far beyond her own, leaving her unable to resist.
From such a person, the words spoken, the golden edicts, were usually carried out.
If she really angered a woman like this, her future would be miserable.
She wasn't afraid to die, not in the slightest.
But she feared that insufferable feeling of neither being able to live nor die. She was the Pope, she was Bibi Dong; she could die, but she would not allow herself to be humiliated.
If she really was sealed by the Goddess before her and thrown into that nauseating place, then it would truly be over.
"I indeed won't do that, provided you behave. Otherwise, you know the consequences. In my hands, you are nothing. Even if you wish to die, you won't have the chance, but you are welcome to try."
"However, you should think about the consequences carefully. If you break the rules, I'll strip you of your clothes and hang you outside for a day," Gu Yuena said coldly and then released the Soul Pressure she had applied to Bibi Dong.
With the massive pressure gone, Bibi Dong regained her freedom, and in an instant, Bibi Dong erupted in fury as countless strands of heaven earth origin energy gathered toward her.
She had never suffered such humiliation from childhood to adulthood, and after becoming the Pope, she even harbored ambitions of unifying the Continent.
She was so proud; how could she let Gu Yuena bully her?
But the next moment, as she summoned her Soul Power and prepared to fight Gu Yuena to the death, seeing Gu Yuena's icy gaze, the Soul Power that had risen up dissipated as quickly as air leaving a deflated balloon.
She was afraid.
If Gu Yuena really did that to her, even just once, it would be enough to make her wish she were dead.
"You'd better follow the rules, otherwise you know what the consequences are," Gu Yuena said, glancing at Bibi Dong before turning and walking away.
The rest was left to Xu Ran.
Of course, what she had said was just to scare Bibi Dong; being a woman herself, how could she commit such shameless acts and advantage other men?
But a severe beating was inevitable.
Xu Ran was compassionate, but she was eager to toss these foul women out one by one.
Trying to compete with her, Gu Yuena, for a man, and being so ill-mannered at that. The ones that had come earlier were passable, but those who came later without heeding the rules, her position in the household was the highest, second only to Xu Ran.
"Hiss."
Xu Ran drew a sharp breath, utterly shocked by Gu Yuena's actions.
This Nima is really fighting.
This is Pope Bibi Dong, and she's getting beaten up just like that?
Originally, she felt a bit of a headache. After all, who was Bibi Dong? The supreme leader of the Martial Soul Hall, respected by so many powerful Titled Douluos who would bow to her with the utmost reverence.
Such a person, unmatched in her pride, was not easy to tame. But in just the short moment that had just passed, Gu Yuena had completely subdued Bibi Dong.
By the looks of it, Bibi Dong was utterly terrified of Gu Yuena now.
"It seems that often women are even more ruthless than men," Xu Ran said, his eyes wide with shock; he hadn't been able to react at all to the sudden turn of events. With his personality, he would never hit a woman, let alone utter such vile words to one he fancied.
After all, if Bibi Dong were sent into the "Harem," wouldn't that make him the cuckold?
But Gu Yuena didn't care about those things at all. Perhaps even reveling in the cruelty, especially since Bibi Dong was her rival in love—being harsher on Bibi Dong made Gu Yuena feel all the more relieved.
"This is really damn brutal," even Xu Ran couldn't help but shiver, and Gu Yuena had left him a warning glance as she walked away. Hisss, could Gu Yuena actually be a tigress, no, a Mother Tyrannosaurus.
Previously, while Gu Yuena had been gentle and well-behaved by his side, it was only in front of him that she acted this way. To others, she was still the noble Gu Yuena.
"Na'er had also met Qian Renxue before... I hope she didn't do anything to Xue'er," Xu Ran worried deeply, as Gu Yuena's temper didn't seem to be very good, and she probably wouldn't give Qian Renxue a warm welcome either.
This was really troubling for Xu Ran.
The "Harem" was surely headed towards utter chaos.
Just from today's events, with the enmity formed between Gu Yuena and Bibi Dong, even if Bibi Dong ended up with him, it was clear that they would not get along. Given Bibi Dong's nature, she would definitely seek out opportunities for revenge, and then there's Qian Renxue... when it comes to the two of them.
Uh, it pained his heart no matter who got hurt. After all, they were all his beautiful wives.
But that was all for later.
Actually, Xu Ran was quite satisfied with how things were at the moment. Even though he felt a bit sorry for Bibi Dong being bullied by Gu Yuena, there was nothing he could do.
Now that Bibi Dong was in line, not daring to act recklessly, everything would be simpler.
"Lingling, get dressed and go out as well," Xu Ran said as he patted Ye Lingling's behind.
"Oh." Ye Lingling, her face pale, hurriedly got dressed and prepared to run out. She was a very shy girl, but after encountering such terrifying figures as the Spirit Hall Pope and the even more fearsome and ruthless Gu Yuena, the young girl was scared stiff.
Especially when Gu Yuena was bullying Bibi Dong, her gaze kept shooting towards Ye Lingling, it seemed like a warning. This had scared her out of her wits.
She could feel Gu Yuena's strength was immense, and understood that Gu Yuena and Xu Ran had a good relationship. As her love rival, if Gu Yuena thought that Ye Lingling was trying to seduce Xu Ran just now and decided to get rid of her...
Just thinking about the cruel punishments that Gu Yuena had mentioned made her shudder.
She wasn't afraid of death, but she belonged to Xu Ran; she couldn't tolerate such humiliation and couldn't bear the thought of her body being tainted in any way.
"Don't tell Xiaowu and the others about today's incident, especially her identity," Xu Ran said as he watched Ye Lingling hurriedly get dressed, his lips curling slightly. After this incident, the level of intimacy Ye Lingling would allow him was definitely going to shrink significantly. But there wasn't much he could do, with serious injuries and unable to control the Mother Tyrannosaurus that was Gu Yuena.
"Oh, I understand, I'll keep my lips sealed tonight," Ye Lingling quickly agreed. The arrival of the Spirit Hall Pope to Xu Ran's room and the ensuing intimidation and threats, if these were to get out, all the followers of the Martial Soul Hall across the Continent would curse Xu Ran.
For many people on the Continent, the Pope was a sacred belief, not to be desecrated by anyone.
