In Douluo Continent, he tricked Xiao Wu into giving him a soul ring.

"Then what do you want in order to forgive me?" Lan Ji asked with a light laugh.

"Alright, take off your clothes first. I'll bandage you while I ask you some questions. You have to answer me honestly, and then I'll consider whether I should forgive you." The kitten turned around, a sly glint in her beautiful eyes.

"No need, it's not appropriate to take off my clothes in public. I can easily heal this minor injury with my Soul Bone Technique," Lan Ji said hesitantly, glancing around. Although there was no one around, he felt as if a pair of eyes were watching him.

"What do you think?" The kitten gave a dangerous smile.

"Alright then." Lan Ji swallowed hard, reluctantly removing his blue outfit to reveal his fair and athletic physique. His muscles were well-proportioned, neither too bulky nor too thin, making him very attractive and pleasing to the eye.

Having suffered assassination attempts from Zhu Zhuyun over the years, the little kitten had developed an extremely strong ability to survive in the wild. She skillfully bandaged him with gauze from her soul tool and the wound medicine that Lan Ji had prepared for her. Although it wasn't the first time she had seen Lan Ji's body, a blush still couldn't help but cross her pretty face.

While bandaging her wound, the kitten asked, "When did you start liking Sister Xue'er?"

"Hmm—" Lan Ji thought for a moment and gave a half-true, half-false answer: "I guess it's like you, it's love at first sight. A few days after we parted, I met Xue'er. Maybe I fell in love with her from the first moment I saw her."

Women are creatures who love to compare themselves to others. When she heard that Lan Ji liked her first, a hint of smugness flashed subtly in her kitten-like eyes. "Second question. Do you two actually have that?"

"Yes." As soon as Lan Ji finished speaking, there was a tearing sound. The kitten had used too much force and the bandage covering Lan Ji's wound was immediately torn off.

Lan Ji gasped, then heard the kitten say coldly, "When did this start?"

As she spoke, the kitten took out another bandage.

Lan Ji winced and said, "On the very night the preliminaries ended, Xue'er came to find me. Because she was worried that I would be punished by her grandfather or her mother, she simply forced me into marriage. You know Xue'er's strength, well... I can't beat her at all."

"So you were forced into it after all?" The kitten's face grew even colder, recalling those three days when Lan Ji stayed inside the house, apparently fooling around inside.

"Let me ask you again. On the night we advanced to the first round and won against Shrek Academy, I waited for you in my room all night, but you didn't come back. Tell me honestly, did you go to Sister Xue'er's place to steal food again?"

"And when you were traveling with the Heaven Dou Empire's convoy to Wuhun City, you would sometimes spend a day or two in Sister Xue'er's car. Were you doing something naughty there too...?"

The more she talked about it, the angrier she got. She thought of Aji, whom she thought was loyal and pure, who secretly slept with other women every few days. She was furious.

Finally, unable to contain its anger, it pounced on Lan Ji and began to bite him. Suddenly, a faint scream echoed throughout the entire Papal Mountain.

Standing atop the Papal Hill, Bibi Dong and her daughter Qian Renxue exchanged a glance upon seeing this scene and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Serves you right." Qian Renxue laughed and scolded, then turned her gaze back to Bibi Dong. After hesitating for a moment, she finally revealed the purpose of her trip, "Mom, I want to ask you for a favor."

"Go ahead and say it." Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat. This was the first time Qian Renxue had called her "Mom" since she went undercover.

"Aji is about to head to the City of Slaughter to obtain the God of Slaughter Domain. I know you are the God of Slaughter, so I want you to go to the City of Slaughter to warn the King of Slaughter to prevent him from persecuting Aji in secret. Also, Zhu Qing and Leng Leng will be staying at the Spirit Hall to cultivate." Qian Renxue said earnestly.

"Is Aji also going to the City of Slaughter?" Bibi Dong thought of her disciple Hu Liena. With Aji there, the two of them working together might increase their chances of escaping the City of Slaughter. She nodded and said, "I understand. I'll put in a good word with the people in the City of Slaughter. Have Lan Ji come to see me alone tonight, and I'll tell him some specific precautions for the City of Slaughter. As for those two girls, Ye Lengleng and Zhu Zhuqing, they have quite good talent. They can stay in the Spirit Hall and cultivate peacefully if they want, or they can go to Death Valley with Xie Yue and the others. It's all up to their own wishes. I'm a little tired, so you can make the arrangements for them yourself."

After saying that, Bibi Dong turned and walked towards the Papal Palace. In a few flashes, she disappeared from Qian Renxue's sight.

A gentle breeze blew by, the white clouds in the sky dispersed, and warm sunlight poured down. In the dim light, Qian Renxue seemed to see two teardrops fall from Bibi Dong's eyes the moment she left, reflecting a dazzling light in the sunlight.

Mom actually cried. Was it just my imagination?

............

That night!

The moon was like a silver plate, and the sky was filled with countless stars.

After some discussion, the kitten and Ye Lengleng finally decided to go to the Death Canyon for a five-year life-and-death experience.

Lan Ji considered that the two girls would stay with the Golden Generation, and that the Golden Generation was secretly protected by Ghostly Demons or Chrysanthemum Pass, so after a slight hesitation, he did not object. He only asked Qian Renxue to send a letter to the Nine Heart Begonia family, the gist of which was that Ye Lengleng would accompany him on a five-year training trip and would return after five years.

Then he needed to greet Bibi Dong, otherwise he didn't want to wait until he returned to hear the devastating news that the kitten and Ye Lengleng had gotten into trouble.

Chapter 343 One Dead, One Useless

——Ten minutes later——

It's worth mentioning that the right arm bone of the Blue Silver King, a weapon type that Ye Lengleng absorbed, which was 80,000 to 5,000 years old, granted her the same Soul Bone Skill as Tang San's fifth Soul Skill in the original story: the 'Blue Silver Overlord Spear.' It has extremely strong single-target attacks, can be thrown to cause great damage, and can also be used as a weapon.

Because of the high age and quality of her soul bone, Ye Lengleng's Blue Silver Overlord Spear was powerful enough to allow her, with her level 49 Soul Master cultivation and Sacred Heart Domain, to unleash an attack comparable to a Soul Emperor.

Therefore, Lan Ji taught Ye Lengleng a set of spear techniques for charging into battle, which she had learned from the rudimentary skills collected by Li Keyong: the Formation-Breaking Overlord Spear. It was perfect for use in conjunction with the Blue Silver Overlord Spear.

After settling everything in, Qian Renxue found Lan Ji in the evening.

She seemed to still be sulking. She just came over to Lan Ji, said, "Mom wants to see you," pointed out the location, and then left.

This left Lan Ji completely baffled. When did the mother and daughter, who had a love-hate relationship, become so close?

Following Qian Renxue's instructions, Lan Ji arrived at Bibi Dong's residence, a place even she herself had never been before.

This is a secluded little bamboo house, located in a deep bamboo forest outside the Papal Palace. According to Qian Renxue, this bamboo house did not exist a month ago; it was built on Bibi Dong's whim.

After its completion, no one was allowed to approach it, not even her most trusted disciple, Hu Liena. From then on, Bibi Dong moved out of the Papal Palace and spent most of her time there except for necessary daily affairs.

Even Qian Renxue was puzzled as to why her mother would allow Lan Ji to enter that place.

Night had fallen, and outside the bamboo forest, the Pope's guards stood watch day and night. As if they had received an order from the Pope in advance, they immediately made way for Lan Ji's arrival.

With a mix of trepidation and excitement, Lan Ji stepped into this place, which was very likely the residence of Bibi Dong, who had once been to Blue Star.

After walking for nearly ten minutes, suddenly, a faint, familiar singing voice drifted from the depths of the bamboo forest.

The singing was melodious and beautiful, with lingering notes that seemed to float on the air, captivating the listener. Strangely, although it was not a sad song, it evoked a feeling of heartache in the listener: "You have broken through several layers of thin ice on the day of Lichun, and even the wild swinging of the knife cannot sever the infatuation."

The night breeze brushes past the pear blossoms, teasing passersby; who can enter the mortal world without leaving a trace?

I climbed it, a stretch of three thousand steps, with a devout heart.

After paying respects and burning incense to the Bodhisattva, I remain virtuous and self-disciplined.

Do not ask, do not distinguish, do not describe yin and yang, illuminate heaven and earth, I am only fit to recite poetry while drunk.

I am an ordinary person who has fallen into the mundane world, holding a solitary lamp to illuminate the pure six senses.

Do not approach, do not recognize, do not misremember that I am untouched by worldly affairs.

An elderly man with white hair lives a secluded life in the tranquil mountains. A light rain washes away the dust of the passing season from the layered peaks. He enjoys a detached peace, indifferent to worldly affairs. No one needs to take this idle talk seriously.

......"

Lan Ji's heart trembled slightly as a memory from his past life quietly surfaced in his mind. He quickened his pace and even activated his cultivation technique, using his teleportation skill.

At the very end of the bamboo forest, he suddenly stopped. On the roof of the bamboo house, a stunningly beautiful woman stood gracefully. A gentle breeze blew her long black hair, causing it to flutter slowly. Her skirt swayed and clung to her curves, making her look incredibly alluring.

Under the moonlight, the woman wore a white, form-fitting nightgown. The nightgown was neckless, with only two thin straps on the shoulders, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin around her neck. The hem of the skirt sloped downwards, exposing her slender, snow-white calves. It perfectly accentuated her curvaceous figure.

With her hands clasped behind her back, she looked up calmly at the bright moon hanging high in the sky, her demeanor elegant and serene, like a blooming snow lotus from the Tianshan Mountains, noble and untouched by worldly dust.

Yet, it also possesses a childlike innocence.

The two contradictions combined, yet everything seemed so natural, without the slightest sense of incongruity.

At this moment, the woman was humming a lullaby, a trace of sorrow flashing in her beautiful, clear eyes, as if she had something on her mind.

Noticing Lan Ji's arrival, after a moment of silence, Bibi Dong suddenly spoke, her light and melodious voice giving one a feeling of being cleansed, "You've come."

"Yes. I'm here." Lan Ji looked at Bibi Dong, slightly lost in thought. Now he was certain that Bibi Dong had really gone to Blue Star, because this song was from Blue Star, and even the lyrics were in Chinese.

"How do you feel about this song?" Bibi Dong asked calmly, her back to Lan Ji, without turning around.

She was testing Lan Ji one last time. If Lan Ji answered that she hadn't heard of it and didn't understand it, then she would never bother her again. She silently wished Lan Ji and Qian Renxue well from behind the scenes.

Lan Ji seemed to sense that if she lied today, she would lose something she cherished. After hesitating for a moment, she gave a half-truth and half-lie answer: "Although I don't quite understand it, it sounds surprisingly nice. It seems like I've heard it somewhere before."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat, and she continued to ask, "Where have you heard of this?"

"Perhaps it was just a dream," Lan Ji gave an ambiguous answer.

“You…come up here,” Bibi Dong said after a moment’s thought.

Lan Ji let out an "Oh," and with a burst of power from her right leg, she lightly flew to the rooftop. Bibi Dong turned around and looked intently at the handsome face before her, now unfamiliar due to the evolution of her martial soul.

Can you tell me about that dream?

"Is this important to you?" Lan Ji lay down flat, placed her hands behind her neck, and gazed at the bright moon in the sky.

“Yes, this is very important to me.” Bibi Dong took out a piece of cloth from her soul tool and spread it out. She sat down next to Lan Ji, her jade hand supporting her cheek, creating a fragrant breeze.

Smelling Bibi Dong's faint fragrance, Lan Ji sighed softly and recounted her past life in a half-truthful manner: "From the age of six, I've been having that dream. It's a place without Soul Masters. I was just an ordinary person there, much like in reality, orphaned. Fortunately, I met someone I could protect for a lifetime. In the dream, we were in love for ten years and were about to get married when the dream ended. I went to another dream, also a place without Soul Masters, but even more chaotic than Douluo Continent. I survived in that dream for several years, but ultimately didn't make it. I only awoke at the moment of death."

"I'm not afraid to admit it, but the two girls I liked before I met Xue'er and Zhuqing were the ones I encountered in those two dreams."

In the end, Lan Ji revealed a self-deprecating smile. More than ten years had passed in the blink of an eye. Perhaps his girlfriend from Lan Xing was already married, and the little girl from the Bad Guys world had also grown up. He hoped that she wouldn't fall for that good-for-nothing male protagonist like in the original story.

I was truly a failure in my past life.
