Holding Bibi Dong's soft and delicate hand, Ye Qinghe felt a complex mix of emotions. During the three months of body swapping, he had unknowingly fallen in love with Bibi Dong.
Ye Qinghe could clearly sense this.
He had imagined countless times what it would be like for the two of them to reunite, but now that he had finally seen it, it felt unreal to him.
After all, only half a month had passed for him.
But for Bibi Dong, a full thirty years had passed.
At the same time, he couldn't help but start to have a chilling thought.
Because Bibi Dong couldn't have just arrived; she must have come much earlier.
Or rather, Bibi Dong noticed him from the very beginning.
The thought that he might have been watched by Bibi Dong since childhood made Ye Qinghe secretly break out in a cold sweat. At the same time, he was also glad that he had made up a god that might not even exist early on, otherwise his strange behavior would be hard to explain.
Lost in thought, Bibi Dong spoke again, "What are you daydreaming about? Someone's asking you a question!"
Ye Qinghe said "Oh," intending to respond to the question, and asked, "What did you just say?"
While speaking, he didn't forget to check Bibi Dong's personal profile:
[Bibi Dong—Pope of the Spirit Hall, inheritor of the Rakshasa God, age: 48, Spirit: Death Spider Emperor, Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, Spirit Power: Level 99, Cultivation Technique: Mysterious Heaven Technique (highest level: Three Flowers Gathering at the Top), Favorability: 100 (Admiration, Yandere, Possession)]
Ye Qinghe felt a chill run down his spine. Admiration was understandable, but what was with this yandere and possessive behavior? What was she planning to do?
Bibi Dong had no idea what Ye Qinghe was thinking. When he asked her that, she still put on a girlishly angry expression and reiterated, "I mean, are you surprised to see me? Honestly, I even asked the Pope for leave and came all the way from Wuhun City to see you."
Ye Qinghe saw through it but didn't say anything. "It's quite unexpected. It's really a wonder you came all this way to find me. I'm sorry you had to go through all that trouble."
Bibi Dong asked expectantly, "Then do you feel that I've changed in any way compared to before?"
As she spoke, Bibi Dong turned her head to fiddle with her neatly styled wine-red hair, glancing sideways every now and then, looking every bit like a young girl in the throes of first love.
"Yes, there are some." Ye Qinghe paused, making Bibi Dong feel uneasy and nervous.
Seeing that Bibi Dong was still the same as before, at least in front of him, Ye Qinghe couldn't help but smile slightly, "She seems to have become even more beautiful than before."
"Besides this, don't you have anything else to say?" Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's cheeks flushed red, and she asked with evasive eyes.
Looking at Bibi Dong's flushed face so close to his own, Ye Qinghe pretended to ponder and said, "I shouldn't have touched your breasts, and I shouldn't have used your body to bathe."
Although these words secretly pleased Bibi Dong, that was clearly not what she wanted to hear. "There must be something else you want to say, right?"
Ye Qinghe hummed in agreement, his expression suddenly turning serious. He placed his hands on Bibi Dong's shoulders and said solemnly, "It's so good to see you're alright."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong fell silent. After being the Pope for over twenty years, she was no longer the naive and innocent girl she once was.
Naturally, he understood what Ye Qinghe meant.
At that time, she longed for love so much that she was willing to leave the Spirit Hall without hesitation for love.
But now she realizes that it was a foolish thing to do.
Twenty-three years ago, Qian Xunji, the teacher, married Huang Yueyao, the second-in-command of the Golden Sword Lion Clan, one of the eight hidden clans behind the Great Soul Arena.
That year, Bibi Dong became a Title Douluo, and her teacher, Qian Xunji, passed the Pope's position to her ahead of schedule.
Before assuming the position of Pope, Bibi Dong asked her teacher, Qian Xunji, this question: If she chose love at the age of eighteen, and her teacher did not approve, what would happen to him if she left the Spirit Hall?
At that time, Qian Xunji said without hesitation: "The interests of the Spirit Hall are paramount. Since we have nurtured you, if you dare to betray the Spirit Hall, for the sake of the Spirit Hall's interests, I will spare no effort to keep you in the Spirit Hall, even if it means using underhanded methods."
After that, she went back and thought about it for a long time. The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. Later, she went to the tenement building again and personally interrogated Yu Xiaogang.
At that time, Yu Xiaogang had already been tortured by the prisoners inside and turned into Yu Dagang.
Faced with Bibi Dong's interrogation, Yu Xiaogang confessed everything without hesitation, hoping only to get out as soon as possible.
This made Bibi Dong not only furious, but also increasingly fearful, because given her mindset at the time, if she hadn't swapped bodies with Ye Qinghe, she might have actually fallen for it.
In the end, Bibi Dong didn't make things difficult for Yu Xiaogang, but she didn't let him off the hook either. She simply made him stay in the tenement building until he was released after serving his full sentence. This was Ye Qinghe's original decision.
Even now, though she has become a peerless Douluo and holds power over the Spirit Hall, she still feels deeply disturbed by what happened back then.
Meanwhile, as time went by, her feelings for Ye Qinghe transformed from the initial confusion of adolescence into genuine affection.
Even obsession.
For this reason, she had been waiting for Ye Qinghe to be born and for him to grow up, and now, she has been waiting for a full thirty years.
The two finally met again.
He is still himself.
But she is already nearly fifty years old.
That's why, on the very day she turned twenty, she couldn't wait to take the Youth-Preserving Pill.
And she put on a mask early on, so that the world would forget her appearance.
In this way, when people see her, they will no longer know her real age.
When Ye Qinghe met her, the two seemed to be meeting for the first time as if they were peers.
In fact, she did achieve that.
In fact, if she wanted to stop Ye Qinghe from dating Dugu Yan, she could have done so; no one could have stopped her.
She could have killed Dugu Yan before that.
But she ultimately chose to give up.
On the one hand, she was worried that changing history would prevent her from exchanging bodies with Ye Qinghe.
After all, Dugu Yan played a crucial role in the body swap.
On one hand, Ye Qinghe confesses his love to her across three lifetimes.
Ye Qinghe's acceptance of Dugu Yan stemmed from their childhood friendship.
Helping Zhu Zhuqing stems from the Martial Soul Fusion Technique.
Only my love for her stemmed from pure liking.
Today, when she heard Ye Qinghe's last words, which were not a confession but were more than a confession, she finally became certain of this.
And most importantly, she didn't want Ye Qinghe to hate her because of this.
She needs to take control of her own love life.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong naturally took Ye Qinghe's hand and found a seat nearby.
Ye Qinghe then realized that the viewing area of the Soul Battle Arena was currently occupied only by the two of them, as if it had been specially cleared out.
