“Teacher doing this must be making me atone for my sins!
Teacher loves me!”
“Hahahaha…
Hahahaha!” Bibi Dong looked up and laughed miserably, “That’s right…
I should have thought of it long ago, how could I have been so foolish?!”
“Having been fooled like an idiot for so many years, I was actually still foolishly looking out for him?
Even betraying Spirit Hall for his sake.”
“I hate him!
I hate him so much!
Why did Yu Xiaogang deceive me like that back then?
Why?!!”
While venting her hatred for Yu Xiaogang, a twisted and mad thought irresistibly rose in her heart, “But I hate Teacher just as much!”
“Why didn’t Teacher expose that trash earlier?
Why did he have to use such a cruel and merciless way to deter me, trampling my dignity underfoot!”
“Why…
why couldn’t Teacher forgive me just once?” Bibi Dong harbored deep hatred in her heart.
Watching Bibi Dong’s alternately laughing and crying, nearly demented appearance, Gui Mei at the side frowned and said impatiently, “Yue Guan, why are you wasting words with her?
She is no longer the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she is just a traitor!”
“There is no need for mercy toward traitors!
The decree of Pope cannot tolerate us dallying here!”
After saying this, Gui Mei stepped forward directly, without any pity grabbing hold of Bibi Dong’s tattered robe.
Like dragging a dead pig, he brutally dragged her toward the central grand plaza of Spirit City.
Bibi Dong completely gave up struggling.
She let the hard stone slabs scrape her body, let the rain constantly wash over her, and along the way she encountered all sorts of Spirit City residents.
Feeling those gazes, Bibi Dong subconsciously used her tattered sleeve to cover her ugly face.
At this moment, a ridiculous emotion even arose in her heart—it was fortunate that Teacher had ruined her appearance.
Otherwise, if the common folk of the entire city recognized what kind of ghostly state the once high and aloft Holy Maiden Your Highness was now in…
Not long after, Gui Mei dragged Bibi Dong to the location.
This was the place with the highest foot traffic and greatest prosperity in Spirit City, where various large-scale celebrations and ceremonies were usually held.
Like throwing trash, Gui Mei brutally flung Bibi Dong casually into a dark street corner.
Then, with a flip of his wrist, he threw a pure gold bowl in front of Bibi Dong.
Immediately following, Gui Mei called over two Security Team members who were patrolling nearby.
“This is the Holy Maiden who betrayed our Spirit Hall.” Gui Mei’s voice was hoarse, “Pope has a decree, punishing her to hold a gold bowl here and beg!”
“You people of the Security Team will be responsible for guarding her from now on!
Remember, no one is allowed to snatch this gold bowl!
Furthermore, no one is allowed to kill her; keep an eye on her at all times every day, and don’t let her starve to death.”
“If any mishaps occur, I suppose you people from the Security Team would not want to endure the Pope’s wrath, right?”
The two Security Team members looked at the pitch-black and ugly Bibi Dong in the corner, dumbfounded.
This was the once high and aloft Holy Maiden Your Highness, who was above everyone else and below only one?!
They couldn’t understand why someone who was doing well as a Holy Maiden would want to betray Spirit Hall?!
“Please rest assured, Elder Gui!
Your subordinates will definitely guard her day and night, and will never let any mishaps occur with her!” The two Security Team members immediately bowed and guaranteed.
“Let’s go, Yue Guan, don’t waste time here.” Gui Mei said indifferently, and left the place with Yue Guan.
Watching the two high-ranking Elders leave, the expressions of the two Security Team members instantly collapsed.
“Bah!”
One of the Security Team members looked at Bibi Dong curled up in the corner, trembling, a flash of thick disgust passing through his eyes.
He stepped forward, spat a mouthful of saliva directly onto Bibi Dong’s face, and cursed fiercely, “What a thankless piece of trash!”
“Pope and Spirit Hall have treated you with immense kindness, yet you dared to betray Spirit Hall?
If it were up to my temper, a turncoat thing like you should be sliced into a thousand pieces!”
Saying this, the man’s expression turned gloomy, and he raised his heavy leather boots, making a motion to kick fiercely toward Bibi Dong.
“Hey!
What are you doing?
Are you crazy?”
Seeing this, the other Security Team member’s expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly reached out to pull him back, lowering his voice to say, “Did you not hear what Elder Gui just said?”
“She is someone ordered to be guarded by Pope; she absolutely cannot die, even if she is a turncoat traitor!”
“If your kick is too heavy and you end up kicking her to death, our heads will roll.”
They were both clear on how miserable and weak Bibi Dong was right now; that kick might just take her life directly.
That Security Team member withdrew his foot somewhat resentfully and said coldly, “Tch!
I was just giving her a kick to vent, how could it be so easy to kick her to death?”
“Pope is truly too merciful, actually keeping a dog’s life for this kind of traitor?
I really don’t get it!”
“All right, say less.”
The Security Team member who pulled him whispered, “How could the thoughts of those above be guessed by bottom-feeder small fry like us?”
“Since Pope punished her, after all, he didn’t directly order to take her life!”
“Perhaps Pope just wants her to suffer here for a bit, and when she truly wakes up one day, considering old ties, the Pope might just take her back to turn over a new leaf?”
“What did you say?”
The Security Team member who wanted to kick her swept his gaze over Bibi Dong, seeing her made up to be so miserable—to put it mildly, extremely miserable—Pope would still take her back?
How could that be possible!
“What if that day really comes?
If you offend her to death today, will the two of us have any way out in the future?”
“We’ll just stand guard, don’t let her die, and don’t let anyone snatch this gold bowl; we won’t care about anything else!”
Bibi Dong, whose heart had already turned to ashes, when hearing those final few words, felt her deadened eyes seem to flash with a glimmer of hopeful light.
“That’s right…
that’s right…
Teacher used to dote on me so much, holding me in the palm of his hand like a biological daughter.”
“How could he truly not want me?
How could he truly be so cruel to me?
He must be doing this because what I did before broke his heart too much.”
“So he used this most severe method to punish me and make me atone for my sins…
As long as I listen to Teacher, obediently stay here holding the gold bowl to atone, and act obediently enough, penitent enough, and sincere enough…”
“When a certain day comes and Teacher’s Qi subsides, he will definitely come here personally and welcome me back to the The Pope’s Palace!”
Bibi Dong hinted this to herself in a nearly morbid manner in her heart, and on that twisted, ferocious face, a smile actually appeared.
“She’s still smiling?
I think she’s gone mad.
In a single day, falling from Holy Maiden Your Highness to a rancid beggar, I’m afraid anyone wouldn’t be able to accept it?!”
That Security Team member leaning against the wall to avoid the rain looked at Bibi Dong with disdain and said.
