Just as she was about to defect, Bibi Dong obtained a simulator.

Chapter 33 The Future is in Your Hands

"Chirp chirp chirp."

The sword-feathered eagle perched on Xia Yu's shoulder, puffing out its chest as if seeking praise, and even began to flap its wings.

"You're amazing, you're amazing, you got to Soto City so quickly."

Even if Xia Yu couldn't understand what it was saying, he could roughly tell from its actions and expressions that it was trying to curry favor.

He grabbed it and threw it off his shoulder. Xia Yu rubbed his shoulder in pain. This brainless idiot bird couldn't notice that its weight hadn't changed.

It's fine when he's standing still on her shoulder, but once he starts moving, Xia Yu can't handle it at all.

"Tweet?"

Sword Feather Eagle stood on the ground, tilting its head to look at Xia Yu with its big, questioning eyes.

Xia Yu pursed her lips, gestured with her hand to give a command, and said, "Just follow behind me."

If you let it stand on your body again, Xia Yu feels that sooner or later she will have a fashionable uneven shoulder.

Thinking of that appearance, even though he saw the Sword Feather Eagle looking pitiful on the ground, Xia Yu ignored it and hardened his heart to walk towards Soto City in front of him.

Sword Feather Eagle raised its claws and ran after Xia Yu, looking more like a free-range chicken than an eagle.

His comical appearance attracted many people to stop and stare. When Xia Yu noticed that people around him were looking in his direction, he finally realized how funny this guy looked.

"Never mind, I'll carry you."

Xia Yu felt a little tired just watching it run, so he softened and used his arms to lift up what felt like a millstone, and then wandered around on his own.

It wasn't until he saw a Soul Arena that Xia Yu became interested. He had been to the Soul Arena in Wuhun City a few times, but he had never seen what the Soul Arena in other cities looked like.

Holding the almost asleep Sword Feather Eagle, Xia Yu paid five silver soul coins for a regular ticket.

With the receptionist practically glued to him, Xia Yu decisively declined her invitation to duo queue and vanished in a flash.

Just kidding! What if you get sick?
He walked through the audience passage, where the walls were covered with all sorts of advertisements.

Food, drinks, high-end clothing, jewelry, gold—there's nothing he can't see, only things he can't imagine.

Until you reach the very edge, those advertisements turn into group photos of outstanding teams from previous years at the Soto City Arena.

With the addition of two specially lit lamps next to the picture frame, Xia Yu felt it actually looked quite convincing.

He glanced at the photos one by one, finally stopping in front of the last one near the exit.

In the photo, four men and three women are each wearing a mask, and each of them is displaying their martial spirit.

The Fiery Phoenix, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, the Soft-Boned Rabbit, and the most inconspicuous Blue Silver Grass.

Xia Yu has finally come into contact with something that is truly related to Tang San, the protagonist of this world.

"Little Black, take a look! This is the future nemesis of your soul beast race!"

"Chirp."

"If you ever have the chance to become a 100,000-year-old soul beast, you must remember this person."

"Chirp?"

Saying some unrealistic things, Xia Yu smiled and pointed to the inconspicuous Tang San to Jian Yuying. After receiving a reply from Jian Yuying, he walked towards the competition area.

Xiao Hei was the name he gave to the sword-feathered eagle in his arms. After all, it was all black, and people would believe it was a crow.

While Xia Yu was enjoying his paid trip, Xie Yue on the other side was already starting to feel depressed.

"Xie Yue, do you have a problem with me?"

Hearing his younger sister's teacher, His Holiness the Pope of the Spirit Hall, say such a thing, Xie Yue felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

"Huh? No, no, no, why would I have a problem with you?"

Xie Yue felt utterly wronged that this unexpected disaster had struck him.

"I, Xie Yue, was adopted by the Spirit Hall from a young age and grew up under its glory. I have always had only respect and love for Your Holiness the Pope. Heaven can bear witness to my loyalty to the Spirit Hall!"

Seeing that Xie Yue had already begun to ask the heavens to distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous, Bibi Dong felt a headache coming on. She clearly remembered that this guy had never been so eloquent before.

"I was just asking, don't overreact."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, feeling that Xie Yue was disturbing her eyes.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Xie Yue finally calmed down. He knelt on one knee and said with tears streaming down his face.

"Your Majesty! I have no disloyalty to the Spirit Hall or to you. You must not listen to the slander of petty people."

At this moment, Xie Yue had already begun to imagine someone who seemed cheerful on the surface but secretly tattled on him behind his back.

Before he could even begin to hate this non-existent person, Bibi Dong asked herself a question.

'Wow, amazing simulator! Is the affection level you display really accurate?' 【Absolutely accurate!】

You can doubt anything, but you should have absolute trust in anything related to simulators.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong didn't respond, but chuckled.

Although the simulator was very useful, she only used it as a tool.

If she were to act like a complete idiot, doing whatever the simulator tells her to do, then what would be the point of Bibi Dong living? She might as well just commit suicide and let the simulator inherit her body.

Her smile caused the simulator's screen to dim, and Xie Yue below was horrified.

"Your Majesty! I..."

"Alright, alright, I was just asking. There's nothing malicious going on. You can leave now."

Bibi Dong is convinced. How did such a goofball come to be? What does it mean that his appearance and personality are completely mismatched?
Suddenly, she thought of another dark and treacherous person and became convinced that Xie Yue had been corrupted by him.

Stepping out of the room, Bibi Dong felt rather unenthusiastic, because of her status, the children only dared to watch her from afar.

Even if she wanted to play with the innocent children, she could only see that they were somewhat timid.

Do I look that fierce?

Bibi Dong was somewhat speechless. She left Hu Liena and Xie Yue to handle the negotiations, then got into the carriage and returned to the Papal Palace.

Perfect timing! Almost three days have passed, and she only needs a few minutes before she can proceed with the next simulation.

[3, 2, 1. 】

[Cooldown timer expired. Life Simulator is happy to serve you.]

"Has it been upgraded again?"

Yes, to enhance your user experience, the Life Simulator will be updated after each simulation.

"Okay, it feels more and more human-centered."

Bibi Dong remained noncommittal, then opened the emulator, and the screen opened.

[Currently, five people can be simulated. Please select.]

Option 1: Hu Liena

Option 2: Qian Renxue

Option 3: Moon Pass

Option 4: Ghostly

Option Five: Evil Moon

Option Six: Xia Yu

Seeing the simulation interface suddenly become so simple, Bibi Dong was momentarily taken aback.

She casually called out Hu Liena's name.

Several more lines of text appeared to the right of Hu Liena's name.

Option 1: Hu Liena

[Simulation 1: Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall]

[Simulation 2: The Holy Maiden of the Martial Soul Empire]

[Simulation 3: The Judgment Elder of the Martial Soul Empire]

Simulation 4: Civilians

Upon seeing the word "commoner," Bibi Dong frowned.

"Am I still the one who lost in this future?"

She guessed that the method she used to lower Tang San's guard ultimately failed to bring her victory.

Clicking the return option, Bibi Dong checked each one one by one and found that there was basically no difference before finally clicking on Xia Yu's name.

[Insufficient affinity level; unable to simulate.]

Bibi Dong fell silent. "If you can't simulate it, why did you put it up here?"
While pondering why the simulation had failed, Bibi Dong clicked on Hu Liena's name and pressed her finger directly on her future as a commoner.

[The Sims begins. Believe that your future is in your own hands!]

　I feel like I'm being raised to death.
