Chapter 104 Bibi Dong's Painful Struggle Between Her Left and Right Brains.
Bibi Dong looked at the list with complicated emotions, adjusted the silk quilt, and felt a growing sense of guilt and pain.
Moral condemnation kept surfacing in her mind, leaving her at a loss.
Xiao Nian was her disciple... No, no, no!
She only cared about him, loved him... afraid he would be hurt, afraid he would go astray, afraid he would be deceived by those scheming women...
Bibi Dong took a deep breath and adjusted the quilt.
She curled up, closed her eyes, and dared not open them.
Her arms were down.
The suppressed emotions in her heart surged like a rising tide.
At this moment, she wavered between pain and redemption, Jiang Nian's image constantly appearing in her mind.
His voice, his smile, his gestures...
"I...I'm...I'm sorry..."
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth, criticizing herself while regret welled up in her heart.
However, her actions did not stop.
Half an hour later.
When Jiang Nian tried to enter, he was stopped by a shout.
"Get out! Come back in later!"
"Huh? Oh... okay."
Jiang Nian didn't push the door open. After peeking out, he wondered if his teacher was changing clothes.
Damn it! He couldn't let his mind wander!
He turned and walked into the bamboo grove of the training ground. The sweet fragrance calmed him down.
Indeed, he needed to cultivate his character.
It's impossible to be without desires, but one must know how to control them.
"The handkerchiefs the teacher gives me are running out... but I don't want to wash them, because once I wash them, they're gone... Wait! What am I doing?!"
Jiang Nian slapped his forehead and put away the handkerchief. He sat cross-legged in the bamboo grove, suppressing his inner desires.
Ten minutes later, Bibi Dong arrived.
She had changed into casual clothes, all white, and her hair was still in the pigtails Jiang Nian had styled the night before.
"What are you doing sitting here? Let's go eat."
"Cultivation also requires a balance of work and rest."
Jiang Nian hummed in agreement, got up, and followed her.
Watching Bibi Dong's pigtails sway, he bit his tongue, his expression becoming much calmer.
After breakfast, Jiang Nian took out the prepared Primordial Immortal Herb.
The others weren't of much use to her.
This one could condense a soul core; he wondered if Bibi Dong would form one after absorbing it.
Even if not, it seemed like it could form an inner core like Dugu Bo's.
This way, she could recover her soul power while fighting, unlike himself, who had to take out recovery pills and eat them.
After explaining the effects of this immortal herb to her, Bibi Dong swallowed it without hesitation.
Taking advantage of this break, he could leave for a while.
He had retrieved quite a few seeds from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye, which he could plant in his herb garden.
After leaving the Papal Palace, Jiang Nian felt the air was much more refreshing.
Staying by Bibi Dong's side was too oppressive.
Yes... in every aspect.
The Hall of Offerings.
The little golden retriever, confined to her quarters, sat listlessly on the swing, staring at the exit, hoping someone would come looking for her.
She was going crazy here.
Accustomed to her paradise-like life, without Jiang Nian by her side, life suddenly felt meaningless.
"Sister Xiaoxue, you're back?!"
Qian Renxue was startled, looking at the twin-tailed girl walking in, a hint of disappointment flashing in her eyes.
She thought...
She quickly concealed her surprise, then jumped off the swing.
"Of course..."
Jin Yue'er's surprise quickly turned into resentment, her cheeks puffed out as she looked into her eyes.
"Sister Xiaoxue, did you secretly go out with Brother Xiaojiang?"
"We agreed to wait for him to come back together, but you actually..."
Qian Renxue scratched her head awkwardly, her eyes darting around.
"That...that!"
"I didn't sneak out!"
"Grandpa asked me to go to the Heaven Dou Empire to handle some matters, to supervise the Spirit Halls in the major cities...I just happened to run into Xiaojiang."
Jin Yue'er stared at her with disbelief, then nodded helplessly: "Okay, Sister Xiaoxue, I misunderstood you."
Seeing that she had gotten away with it, Qian Renxue's lips curled up slightly, and she stepped forward to rub her head.
Hmm~
No wonder Xiaojiang often likes to touch her, it feels so good.
"Yue'er, I've been put in solitary confinement by Grandpa, I won't be able to go out for two more days..."
"Why don't you call Xiaojiang over?"
Qian Renxue's eyes shone with anticipation, she couldn't wait for the girl's reply.
Jin Yue'er shook her head: "Grandpa said anyone can come to see you, except for Brother Xiao Jiang."
"So Sister Xiao Xue, you'd better not think about it."
"Oh right, I have something to do... so I'll take my leave now~"
After waving her hand, the little girl skipped and hopped outside, making the slow-witted Qian Renxue realize what was going on.
"No! How could you do this!"
"It would have been better if I hadn't come at all!"
The little golden retriever broke down; she hadn't expected that the innocent little sister would be like this!
"Hmph! It's only two days, isn't it?"
"This princess can wait!"
Qian Renxue huffed and puffed as she returned to the swing, stomping her little feet to vent her anger.
At this moment, she suddenly missed Xiao Bai a little.
After all, that guy was here, and she could pluck some of his fur for fun.
It's a pity she didn't have him.
Sigh...
"Why does Xiao Jiang have him?"
This question flashed through Qian Renxue's mind, and as she pondered, her pretty face turned red, and she lowered her head to cover her face.
Is spring really here?
How shameful…
In a garden somewhere. Yue Guan sat on the ground, unable to eat or drink, his heart itching with unease.
He had wanted to find Jiang Nian as soon as he returned to the Spirit Hall, but Bibi Dong had kept him at his residence. He wanted to go in, but dared not.
If he disturbed the Pope's good time, ten lives wouldn't be enough for him to squander. He wanted to ask to see Princess Xiaoxue, but was instead confined.
His life had been like walking on thin ice!
"Uncle Ju, what's wrong?" Jiang Nian looked at the heartbroken Yue Guan with slight surprise, thinking that Uncle Gui had died.
Hearing the voice, he immediately stood up, his eyes red as he looked at the boy in front of him.
After calming himself down, Yue Guan suppressed his inner excitement.
"Your Highness… I… when I saw Princess Xiaoxue return, she seemed to have the aura of a herb called the Love-Severing Heartbreak Red Immortal Grass. I wonder if it's true?!"
Jiang Nian nodded and smiled gently.
"Uncle Ju, I came here to give you a surprise."
With that, he took out the immortal herb—the Miraculous Sky-Piercing Chrysanthemum—from his storage soul tool.
*Thump!*
Yue Guan suddenly knelt down, tears streaming down his face.
Jiang Nian, stunned, quickly pulled him up.
"Uncle Ju, it's not even New Year's yet, I don't have money to give out red envelopes..."
Yue Guan wiped away his tears, his voice trembling.
"No... I'm happy, I'm excited!"
