Chapter 7: An Outburst of Rage

[Zhou Sheng'an rejected Bibi Dong and explained his reasons. Bibi Dong flew into a rage, ordering him to get out of the Spirit Hall. Her attitude was hostile, and her killing intent was palpable. If not for the intervention of Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluo, Zhou Sheng'an would not have been able to leave.]

[A month later, the compilation of the Heaven Dou Compendium was back on track.]

[Zhou Sheng'an paid close attention to the An Academy, where he openly lectured commoner soul masters. During this time, Yu Xiaogang took the stage for a debate, using the "Ten Core Competencies" to promote his own theories. However, Zhou Sheng'an refuted him completely, causing Yu Xiaogang to faint on the spot.]

[That night, Qian Renxue once again invited him for intimacy. Zhou Sheng'an found himself unable to refuse.]

"!!!"

Inside the Crown Prince's residence, Qian Renxue covered her fair face, now flushed red. The simulation of herself was simply too outrageous!

However, she completely understood her own emotions!

Just the thought of her man utterly crushing the man Bibi Dong favored sent a shiver through her entire body. From her toes to the top of her head, it was as if an electric current coursed through her!

Amazing!!!

"Bibi Dong, that woman, has such terrible taste. The man she fancies is nothing but a fraud and a charlatan! How could he possibly compare to my Sheng'an? Grandmaster? Ha! What a joke!"

Qian Renxue glanced outside. Midnight had already arrived.

She shut the door and windows, making sure she was alone in the room. Then, she carefully pressed the memory extraction button.

"Ah...!!!"

A powerful surge of stimulation erupted once more. Qian Renxue writhed on her bed, her thighs clamping down on the blanket. Sweat drenched her clothes.

"Sheng'an... My Sheng'an..."

…

Qian Renxue's delicate face was tinged with pink. After finishing, she excitedly turned her gaze back to the text.

[On November 28, 2024, during a lecture trip, Zhou Sheng'an was assassinated by an unknown soul master. According to eyewitnesses, the killer was a Title Douluo!]

[The world was enraged!!!]

[Under the accusations of the Heaven Dou Empire, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and other forces, the culprit was quickly identified as someone from the Spirit Hall, leading to a fierce conflict. The Spirit Hall became ostracized by both the empire and the soul master world.]

[Ultimately, the number of registered Spirit Hall soul masters decreased by 40%, dealing a devastating blow to the organization. The Elder Hall intervened, stripping the current Pope of her position and surrendering the killer, Lingyuan Douluo.]

[…]

"???"

Qian Renxue was completely dumbfounded.

What?! Her Sheng'an was just killed like that?!

There was no need to think further—she knew it had to be Bibi Dong, that crazy woman! The entry confirmed it as well!

Her dazzling, peerless Sheng'an had actually been assassinated by Bibi Dong!

"AAAAHHH!!! BIBI DONG!!! I WILL KILL YOU!!!"

Qian Renxue let out a furious, heartbroken scream. This wasn't just some game where she read about her life in a text log.

She had actually lived through that year. Her love for Zhou Sheng'an was real!

At this moment, she was utterly consumed by rage.

Golden angelic power burst from her body, but under the immense killing intent, her soul power rapidly darkened, shifting from gold to black. Even her beautiful golden hair started to turn gray-white.

Her lips became blood-red, and her pupils deepened into an eerie darkness.

"Bibi Dong…"

Qian Renxue's lips curled into a sinister smile. Her voice had grown icy, seductive, like a viper flicking its tongue—an intoxicating yet terrifying sound.

"No... Who are you?" A trace of fear flashed through her eyes as her original voice returned.

"Who? I am you, Qian Renxue."

With a flicker of consciousness, Qian Renxue entered her spiritual sea. A woman identical in appearance to her, yet vastly different in demeanor, stood before her.

"You?!"

Qian Renxue was stunned for a moment before relaxing.

"I see now…"

"Good. If you understand, then let's take revenge on that woman! She dared to harm my Sheng'an—I will make her suffer a thousandfold!" The dark Qian Renxue let out a chilling laugh.

Qian Renxue hesitated. This was her other self—her inner persona.

As a child, she had developed a thick emotional armor to protect herself. Whenever she faced Bibi Dong's hateful gaze, she would rely on this alter ego to deal with it. Over time, this persona had fully formed, harboring all her resentment toward Bibi Dong.

However, as Qian Renxue grew stronger, her inner persona had rarely surfaced. But now, due to Zhou Sheng'an, it was being pushed to the brink, threatening to spiral out of control!

"No! I will do this myself! Besides, this was just a simulation—Sheng'an hasn't actually died yet!" Qian Renxue suddenly declared.

"You're just running away again, like before! Let me handle Bibi Dong!"

The dark Qian Renxue's voice was cold.

"Impossible! I'll do it myself! And more importantly, I need to find the perfect path and start a second simulation!"

The dark Qian Renxue fell silent for a moment before sneering.

"I hope you're not just avoiding reality."

With that, she dissolved into a shadow, sinking into Qian Renxue's feet and disappearing.

Qian Renxue returned to reality.

She looked at the glowing countdown in front of her.

[Time until the next simulation begins: 23:59:59]

No mistakes—no room for error!

One day. That's bearable. I can hold out!

Hopefully, Uncle She Long and the others can bring Sheng'an back.

Qian Renxue clenched her fists, her gaze locked onto the countdown timer.

Tonight, she wouldn't sleep.

She had to enter the simulation at the first possible moment!

She would find the perfect path for herself and Zhou Sheng'an!

…

Spirit City, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong sat cross-legged on her bed, clad in a sheer purple nightgown. Her breathing was heavy, her chest rising and falling, exuding an irresistible allure.

"Ridiculous! Ridiculous! Ridiculous!!!"

Bibi Dong stared at the text log before her. It claimed that she was forced to step down—just because she killed Zhou Sheng'an?!

She pressed a hand to her forehead, lost in thought.

"Is this… some kind of illusion?"

"No. If what this says is true, I probably would assassinate Zhou Sheng'an. Not for the Spirit Hall, but because he humiliated Xiaogang!"

"But… is there truly such an exceptional young man in this world? How could his Martial Soul Supplement Theory surpass Xiaogang's?"

She found it hard to believe.

But she had personally lived through the events—witnessing Zhou Sheng'an's meteoric rise, inviting him herself, only to be rejected. Then, seeing Yu Xiaogang reduced to a miserable state, her heart had burned with fury.

It was plausible that she would have lost control and risked becoming history's greatest villain—just to take revenge for Yu Xiaogang!

Thinking back, she realized how foolish she had been.

Of course, she had no idea that Zhou Sheng'an and Qian Renxue were already intimate.

Bibi Dong stood up, changed into her robes, and stepped out of her chamber. She summoned Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to the Pope's Palace.

"Yue Guan, Gui Mei. Head to Heaven Dou City and find a man named Zhou Sheng'an. He should have published a theory on Martial Soul Supplementation in the Spirit Hall Journal. Once you find him, bring him to me immediately!" Bibi Dong ordered coldly.

"Zhou Sheng'an? Understood!" Yue Guan muttered.

The mission seemed absurd.

But since it was an order from the Pope, they had no choice but to obey.

As they left, Bibi Dong's expression darkened in confusion.

"Xiaogang… Could there really be someone better than you? It has to be fake!"

Translator's Note: I have set up a patreon and it currently has 5 advanced chapters.

The subscription model I used is Subscription Billing (honestly, I don't know what its really called.

But here's the definition: Patrons are charged on the same date they signed up each month. If someone joins on the 10th, they will be charged again on the 10th of the following month.)

Furthermore, the tiers aren't exclusive to one translated fanfic but to any translated fanfic I will work on. So if you pay for the 5 advanced chapters patreon tier, not only will you get 5 advanced chapters for this fanfic, but to other translated fanfics I'm working on.

Thank you again for your support and you have my undying gratitude. For those who can't afford being a patron, no worries as you all can throw those powerstones at me and feed the algorithm.

Although powerstones won't give me money, it does motivate me seeing the numbers rise. Reason why I had liked playing incremental games before.

Btw, no worries as I'll continue updating 2 chapters daily until the fanfic is completed or I caught up to the raw. (Another possibility is that the raw site I'm using no longer provides updates then I can't do anything about it).

Furthermore, this is merely to support me so the advanced chapters are not a hard paywall. When its completed, I'll release the advanced chapters with the usual 2 chapters daily update rate.

Also, I know some will ask for the raw link even if I already typed the raw name in the synopsis. So to those who are interested, I can share the raw link in my discord server.

Here's the discord server link: https://discord.gg/aZjz3Qe9AN

That's all and thank you for the support!
