"Uh..."
Su Yan was at a loss.
"Let's talk about it later."
Bibi Dong shook her head slightly, her expression tinged with emotion:
"No need to wait. Answer me now. After I sobered up, I was lost for a while; I didn't know what I wanted to do—my life had lost its purpose."
"But recently I've figured it out. I want to return to who I was at the start—I want to be the Supreme Pontiff of the Douluo Continent!"
Su Yan rolled his eyes. "Then I definitely can't say it. You've become so upright now; if I still speak my mind, I'd truly be a scumbag."
Bibi Dong froze at his words, then realized something and was instantly speechless.
"Outrageous!"
"Is this the limit of your ambition, you Little Bastard?"
Su Yan spread his hands. "See? You just had to say it—now I'm officially not a thing, right?"
"But it's fine. Even if I'm not a thing, I changed you. If you're willing to be a good person, that's great Karma."
Bibi Dong simply looked at him quietly, then said slowly, "You could still change even more people. All that talk about having no morals is just an excuse to run away."
"At least, that's how I see it."
Su Yan felt depressed.
Bibi Dong, oh Bibi Dong, what exactly are you trying to do?
Suddenly she grabbed Su Yan's hand and said earnestly, "If you find it hard, we can work at it together."
... [Yanzi is not a Swallow: Our melon seems to have been stolen?]
[Group Member Number Nine: You're right; Bibi Dong swiped our melon.]
[Zhu Zhuqing: You two had better be talking about an actual melon.]
[I Am an Orphan:???]
[Dark Avenger: Your Holiness, where did you two run off to? Why aren't you back yet?]
[Hu Liena: Impressive, teacher!]
[Liu Erlong: Damn! I, Liu Erlong, have become all talk. First Ah Yin, now the Old Woman—both stay silent and do something big. Don't tell me she's already started eating?]
[Bo Saixi: Bibi Dong has some skills—no, she's really got skills.]
[Call Me Her Majesty the Empress: You annoying bunch, speaking in riddles again!]
[Su Yan: You may not believe this, but I think Bibi Dong is PU-ing me right now.]
[I Am a Little Bird: Your Holiness, applying what you just learned on the spot?]
[Dark Avenger: Tell us quickly—how is she PU-ing you?]
[Su Yan: Hard to explain. I want to run, but she's holding on. Bibi Dong, if you keep this up, don't blame me for dirty tricks.]
Seeing that message, Bibi Dong asked oddly:
"What dirty tricks?"
"Why run? Weren't you the one who suggested we sit and chat? Now that I've opened up, you want to leave?"
Su Yan was truly numb.
But—
Before he could pull any trick, Bibi Dong pushed him against a tree, leaned in with a strange posture, and said from above:
"Answer me now: will you join Spirit Hall and help me be a good Supreme Pontiff?"
Su Yan looked reluctant.
"Don't do this."
"Can't we just get along?"
Bibi Dong lifted his chin with a jade hand, coercion mixed with beauty: "Seems not. Being nice didn't work; time for stronger measures."
"Mm... huh?"
What?
Su Yan's eyes bulged—had Bibi Dong just stolen a kiss?
Though his mouth protested, his body was honest; his hands auto-navigated to the peachy curves.
Bibi Dong's heart fluttered—was this scoundrel turning her trap against her?
... [Yanzi is not a Swallow: Where's the melon?]
[Group Member Number Nine: Already told you—Bibi Dong snatched it.]
[Ning Rongrong: If I speak now I'll look dumb, dying to eat my own melon. But, Your Holiness, you've been gone ages!]
[I Am an Orphan: scumbag, can we please focus on the melon?]
[Liu Erlong: Don't tell me the Old Woman beat me to it?]
[Bo Saixi: Can't you two behave? Give us the melon in daylight; save the night talk for later.]
The group was joking.
But—
Bibi Dong wasn't joking with Su Yan.
A long while later the love-struck pair under the tree finally parted.
Bibi Dong's heart had pounded; though she was Supreme Pontiff, this was her first time ambushing a younger man.
Tense yet thrilling.
Still, the pontiff needed Face; though her heart danced, she kept her calm: "Xiao Yan, tell me: will you join Spirit Hall and help fulfill my dream of being a good Supreme Pontiff?"
Su Yan nodded, then shook his head solemnly:
"Seems we're still a tiny bit short!"
"You—"
Bibi Dong laughed in exasperation. "Insatiable Little Bastard."
With that
She persuaded him orally once more.
Bibi Dong: So full of mischief.
"Mm? Little Bastard, hands out of my clothes!"
... Who knew how much time passed.
Only then did Su Yan and Bibi Dong finally fly back to Ning Rongrong and the others.
Ning Rongrong, Tang Ya, and Jiang Nannan studied the two curiously, trying to read their Faces, but the pair looked utterly serene, as if nothing had happened.
Wrong!
That was the real anomaly.
[Su Yan: Where were we? Oh yeah—Ning Rongrong toured Suotuo City eating and playing, never realizing Flender saw it all.]
[Yanzi is not a Swallow: Hold up, we've got a fresher melon; Rongrong's can wait.]
[Group Member Number Nine: Can you spill it?]
[I Am a Little Bird:???]
[Xiao Xiao is the Cutest: Wang Dong asked if I want to set three fires as the new broom—opinions?]
[Hu Liena: Teacher, say something! Why so quiet?]
[Dark Avenger: Feels like nothing happened; both Su Yan and Her Holiness look calm.]
[Bo Saixi: Calm skies often hide the fiercest storms.]
[Liu Erlong: Old Woman, answer me—did you graze on tender grass? You used to sneer at the idea; why so silent now?]
Bibi Dong: Tastes great.
Over here
Bibi Dong did feel rejuvenated; sneaking around with tender grass seemed to shave years off her life.
Tense and thrilling!
So tasty!
[Bibi Dong: Nothing much—after some persuasion the Little Bastard agreed to join Spirit Hall and help me.]
[Bibi Dong: Don't be shocked; I'm normal now. Spirit Hall's original purpose was to serve the continent's commoners. His joining is inevitable—after all, the Little Bastard has justice in his heart.]
[Su Yan: Yep, Her Holiness awakened my conscience. I had no choice before; now I want to be a good person.]
[Everyone:???]
