On the other side, within the hall of the Seventh Elder.
Bi Bidong came storming in, full of fury.
But now her face was filled with astonishment.
The exterior of the hall seemed unremarkable, but inside it was utterly dilapidated, not a single place remained intact.
The target of her vengeance didn't even require her action; they were already half-dead, sprawled on the floor, blacker than charcoal.
This...what has happened here?
Bi Bidong was shocked.
Could it be that the Seventh Elder knew I would come knocking with a knife and decided to take his own life as penance?
Looking at the wretched state of the Seventh Elder on the ground.
Bi Bidong hesitated for a moment.
Not going to beat him? Leave?
No, no matter what has happened!
Since you struck my Brother Yu during the day, if I don't take action today, I, Bi Bidong, won't be able to vent this rage.
"Swoosh!"
A gentle healing Soul Power appeared in Bi Bidong's palm and struck out.
The Seventh Elder gradually regained his breath, his eyelids fluttering.
When he looked up and saw Bi Bidong, he instantly became agitated.
"Empress, you've finally come to save me!!"
"You must stand up for me!"
"Just now a woman came, and without a word she beat me violently, you must take revenge for me."
Bi Bidong frowned, "Who hit you?"
The Seventh Elder, seeing the Empress here to support him, immediately became excited, crying with snot and tears, "A silver-haired witch, her strength unfathomable; she gave me a severe beating."
"Why did she hit you?"
On mentioning this, the Seventh Elder's anger arose again, his teeth itching with hatred.
"Empress, I have urgent news to report."
"That person was standing up for that Luo Yu, which shows that the kid has a deep background, clearly not one of us from Martial Soul Hall, nor with the same heart as us, we must be careful and on guard at all times."
"Oh, is that so?" Bi Bidong revealed a smile.
The Seventh Elder struggled to his feet and nodded emphatically, "But I think we should not act against that kid for the time being, we must capture those behind him first, then expose his true face so he dies understanding."
"Inform everyone in the world, not just anyone can swagger around Martial Soul Hall."
"Indeed." Bi Bidong's smile grew even broader.
The Seventh Elder followed with a laugh, "I may not be very talented, but I'm willing to lead the way, secretly monitoring and investigating that kid. However, I'll need your support from behind, given the people behind him are indeed not easy to deal with."
Bi Bidong nodded her head, "Since you're so clever, why don't you guess what the Empress is doing here at your place in the dead of night?"
The Seventh Elder replied without hesitation, smiling, "That goes without saying, you must have sensed something amiss and came to rescue me!"
"Are you so sure?"
"Of course."
The Seventh Elder answered confidently, his old face full of smiles.
But when he looked up, he found the Empress's expression was shifting from a smile to absolute coldness.
He also didn't notice that a barrier had imperceptibly formed around them.
"Congratulations—"
"You guessed wrong!"
"Boom!"
Bi Bidong's aura exploded, causing the Seventh Elder to gasp for breath, and in an instant, fresh blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"Empress, what... what are you doing?" the Seventh Elder asked, fear creeping into him as he stepped back.
"What am I doing?"
Bi Bidong approached leisurely, with the immense shadow of the Spider Emperor appearing behind her, as she spoke with mockery, "Let me tell you a secret, the Luo Yu you mentioned, he's my man."
"To be precise."
"He's MY man!"
"Hmm???"
The Seventh Elder's smile turned rigid, his eyes fixed, his mind overwhelmed by a fierce tumult, his body shuddering with dread, this....
If Luo Yu were here, he would surely want to ask him.
"Surprised or not, unexpected or not?"
In fact, right now, the Seventh Elder had become dumbfounded.
He did not understand; he had merely offended a junior, why did such terrifying beings continue to come after him, had he kicked a hornet's nest?
He wanted to cry now.
He couldn't understand it, his level 96 cultivation level, his status as a guest elder of Martial Soul Hall, did they really carry no weight at all?
He couldn't even provoke a junior?
Now he was just like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, with no room to struggle.
He hadn't just kicked an iron board, he had kicked an ancestor.
He kept backing away, begging, "Your Majesty the Empress, I'm one of our own, our own, you can't strike me down! I have been loyal to Martial Soul Hall through and through."
"All your bluster from the daytime, where did it go when you were confronting my man?"
"I've tolerated you for a long time!"
"Boom!"
The Seventh Elder was directly blown up to the palace's dome, rebounded by the prohibitions, and fell heavily to the ground, stirring up a large swath of dust.
"Spare... my life, please spare me, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong."
Bi Bidong looked down upon him, her majestic aura fully on display.
Without Luo Yu by her side, she had reverted to the domineering Empress who reigned over everything.
"Tell me, what is respect, and what is lowliness?"
Why was it this sentence again, why always this sentence.
The Seventh Elder almost burst into tears with a 'waah'.
He was scared, truly scared, and would dare not provoke Luo Yu ever again.
This was seriously terrifying.
"You are noble, I am lowly, I am vile, I should not have been insolently relying on my age in the daylight!"
The Seventh Elder no longer cared about dignity, his life was at stake, dignity be damned. The murderous look in the Empress's eyes was clearly visible and not to be taken lightly.
The Empress shook her head, immobilizing the Seventh Elder, her Soul Light surging.
"Bang bang bang!"
A series of dense booms echoed throughout the room.
Bi Bidong's expression softened.
The Seventh Elder now looked swollen like a pig's head, beaten out of human shape.
He lay crumpled on the ground, hammered repeatedly, he had run out of breath to exhale and no breath was coming in.
"Listen well, I'll only say this once."
"Go apologize to him tomorrow, if he forgives you, you live."
"If he doesn't, not even Qian Daoliu can save you."
Bi Bidong was about to walk out when she turned around and warned,
"I have poisoned you with Spider Emperor's venom, and no one but I can solve it. You should know whether tonight's incident can spread."
"Understood, understood!!"
The Seventh Elder replied with difficulty, his mouth bleeding like a sausage.
After the Empress left, the Seventh Elder collapsed on the floor, looking at the ruined hall, tears streaming down his face.
No more pretending to be tough, never pretending again.
What's wrong with being a bit cowardly?
He couldn't understand the backing Luo Yu had, nor did he dare to think about it, much less speculate.
All he knew was that Luo Yu was an ancestor he couldn't afford to provoke, someone to avoid on sight in the future.
Luo Yu, however, was completely oblivious to all this, still deep in sleep.
Bi Bidong quietly returned, bathed and changed, smelling fresh and clean.
As she got into bed, she suddenly noticed an extra rabbit occupying her man and her sharp gaze immediately intensified.
But having already received information from Luo Yu's side, she wasn't surprised by the rabbit's origin.
She simply went forward, picked up the pair of rabbit ears with her jade hand, and threw it under the bed.
Then, she glared at the rabbit in a show of dominance, declaring her territorial claim, before snugly cuddling Luo Yu's arm and nestling into his embrace.
Under the bed, the Soft Bone Charming Rabbit's pink eyes were filled with outrage.
That's too much, hogging the benefactor all to oneself.
After all, I don't take up that much space.
If this woman is going to be so overbearing, then I just might have to compete with her for the benefactor.
One on one, I might not win his favor, but I don't believe two against one won't do the trick?
It has to be said that the thinking in the soul beast world is indeed simple and unadorned.
So infuriating!
The benefactor's embrace is so warm, and yet this woman monopolizes it all to herself.
This is unfair!
Da Wu pouted in discomfort, thinking that it might be time to motivate the benefactor to leave Martial Soul Hall and go see the daughter...
