Chapter 421: Yu Xiaogang: “Because I Wanted to Live Off a Woman!”

Could Yu Xiaogang admit that all he wanted was to find a powerful woman to support him? His martial spirit was essentially useless, he could never break past level 30, and so, his only option was to live off someone stronger. He never imagined he'd succeed with both Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.

As Bibi Dong prepared to strike again, he panicked, blurting out, "I wanted to live off a woman!"

After this confession, he felt drained, sighing as if resigned to his fate.

"In truth, I entered Spirit Hall under the pretense of studying, and since they saw me as the son of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's leader, they let me stay. Once inside, I learned theory while scouting for a target. Over time, I found my ideal candidate—you."

"You were so pure and innocent, it was obvious you hadn't seen much of the world. I decided that if I flaunted my knowledge and added a bit of charm, you'd be intrigued. And it worked. Eventually, we got closer. Then, when you asked about my martial spirit, I knew it was time to play the sympathy card. I sold you a story about how I studied theory to compensate for my weak spirit, how my family looked down on me… and you felt sorry for me."

"Enough!" Bibi Dong's voice was cold and sharp.

Hearing his retelling of their past only filled her with rage and disgust. How could she have been so naive back then? She'd even considered leaving Spirit Hall with him, a betrayal she still regretted.

In the years since, Bibi Dong had reflected on her actions. Even though Qian Xunji had violated her, she now understood her betrayal of Spirit Hall had been inexcusable. Spirit Hall had invested so much in her, intending for her to serve them. Looking back, she realized that Qian Xunji, despite his failings, had never actually restrained her afterward. He'd allowed her to train in Slaughter City, even though she could have used the opportunity to escape.

Even now, Bibi Dong saw Qian Xunji's actions as a mystery. Why go through so much trouble? He could've simply exposed Yu Xiaogang's true nature, even killed him, to keep her loyal. Qian Xunji knew well how important a woman's honor was, and he hadn't needed to resort to such methods.

While she couldn't fully understand his motives, she sensed a larger scheme at play, with herself as a mere pawn. But that was something to investigate later; for now, Yu Xiaogang was her priority.

"Yu Xiaogang," she sneered, "I know why you're here, but you don't know, do you? Your precious disciple, Tang San, is likely already dead on his way to Spirit City! How does that make you feel?!" Bibi Dong's mocking laugh echoed in the room.

Yu Xiaogang's face went pale, and he shouted in panic, "Bibi Dong! What do you mean? Did you send someone to kill him? Don't you realize his father is Tang Hao?!"

"Of course I know. That's exactly why I plan to kill both Tang Hao and your disciple. Do you even understand the damage Tang Hao has done to Spirit Hall over the years?" Her voice was laced with disdain.

"I don't care about that! You have no right to harm Tang San—he's my disciple! Have you no regard for our past?" Yu Xiaogang's anger flared.

Thud! Her scepter struck him, her voice a frigid whisper. "Past? What past do we have left? I'm being more than generous. If your dear Erlong were here, she'd probably kill you on the spot."

Yu Xiaogang broke into a cold sweat, confused by how differently things had turned out. Why had Erlong acted so violently toward him at Blue Tyrant Academy?
