"What happened?" Tang Kongkong asked in confusion.
"Nothing, it's just that I originally had a chance to kill him, but Bibi Dong suddenly appeared and saved him," Bai Xiuxiu said with a helpless sigh.
"That's truly a pity!" Lan Hudie sighed, then looked at Bai Xiuxiu worriedly and asked, "Sister Xiuxiu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine," Bai Xiuxiu shook her head gently.
"That's good, that's good," Tang Kongkong let out a long breath.
"Sister Xiuxiu, what are you planning to do now?" Lan Hudie continued to press.
"I don't think I can kill him alone. After I rest for a few days, Tang Kongkong, will you come with me?" Bai Xiuxiu thought for a moment and said.
"Okay," Tang Kongkong nodded.
Tang Xuanyu watched the conversation between Bai Xiuxiu and the others, his brows tightly furrowed. Then he looked at Bai Xiuxiu and said, "You are not Bai Xiuxiu?"
The first time Tang Xuanyu saw Bai Xiuxiu, he felt that her temperament was very different from the Bai Xiuxiu he knew. Coupled with her coldness towards him, he guessed that she might not be the Bai Xiuxiu he was familiar with at all.
Hearing what Tang Xuanyu said, everyone looked at Bai Xiuxiu warily.
"Of course I am Bai Xiuxiu," Bai Xiuxiu looked at Tang Xuanyu and said indifferently.
"No, you're not! You are Long Tianyang!" Tang Xuanyu said with certainty.
"I didn't expect you to recognize me," Bai Xiuxiu's lips curved into a faint smile, looking at Tang Xuanyu with some surprise.
"It really is you!" Tang Xuanyu's brows furrowed tightly, and he asked in a deep voice, "Why are you occupying Bai Xiuxiu's body?"
When Bai Xiuxiu was cold to him, he noticed something was off. Coupled with the completely different temperament Bai Xiuxiu displayed at the moment, it made him certain that the current Bai Xiuxiu was not the real Bai Xiuxiu.
"If I didn't occupy her body, do you think she could have come back?" Long Tianyang's lips curved into a hint of a sneer, and she said, "She was severely injured. If I hadn't occupied her body and brought her back, do you think you would still have a chance to see her?"
The current Bai Xiuxiu was indeed not the real Bai Xiuxiu, but Long Tianyang, who had merged with her.
Long Tianyang was the original life core of the Dragon Horse Twin Stars. After Bai Xiuxiu sacrificed herself to protect Xuan Yu, Long Tianyang made Xuan Yu agree to three conditions that would benefit the Dragon Horse Twin Stars, and then resurrected Bai Xiuxiu using herself as a base, while she herself lay dormant deep within Bai Xiuxiu's soul.
After delving deep into Bai Xiuxiu's soul, Long Tianyang generally wouldn't have much impact on Bai Xiuxiu, only causing a slight influence on Bai Xiuxiu on the Dragon Horse Twin Stars.
This time, the reason she occupied Bai Xiuxiu's body was because of Bai Xiuxiu's active avoidance.
When Bai Xiuxiu first called Bai Qinchen 'husband,' she felt extreme guilt towards her husband, so her soul chose to evade, lurking deep within her consciousness.
This was how Long Tianyang had the opportunity to emerge from Bai Xiuxiu's subconscious and take control of her body.
This was also why Bai Xiuxiu was so conflicted when Bai Qinchen said he wanted to kill Tang Xuanyu; it was because Bai Xiuxiu's soul was struggling.
Long Tianyang was completely conquered by Bai Qinchen, but Bai Xiuxiu was not. Otherwise, she wouldn't have chosen to evade.
"What?!" Tang Xuanyu's face showed a trace of panic when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked, "How is she? Is anything wrong?"
He had felt that something was off with Bai Xiuxiu; she had a charm he had never seen before, and with his understanding of Bai Xiuxiu, this was simply impossible.
How could Tang Xuanyu know that the reason Bai Xiuxiu had a seductive charm was not because Long Tianyang was in control at the moment, but because her body had been completely 'irrigated' by Bai Qinchen?
"Nothing serious. She'll probably recover in a while," Bai Xiuxiu replied indifferently.
"That's good, that's good," Tang Xuanyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Bai Xiuxiu say she was fine, and the heart that had been hanging in the air finally settled.
Seeing Tang Xuanyu relax, Long Tianyang's lips curled into a mocking smile.
After so many years, she finally realized that the Tang Clan were all ungrateful scoundrels.
She sacrificed her life to save Bai Xiuxiu, yet Tang Xuanyu never thought of any way to separate her from Bai Xiuxiu and resurrect her.
If it hadn't been for Bai Qinchen this time, she probably would never have seen the light of day again, destined to remain forever in the deepest part of Bai Xiuxiu's consciousness.
For these ungrateful scoundrels, the best approach was to do as Bai Qinchen said and 'pry away' all the women in their family.

Long Tianyang was full of gratitude towards Bai Qinchen. Not only did he allow her to see the light of day again, but he also gave her unprecedented joy, so she would naturally fulfill his requests.
Next, she just needed to trick Tang Kongkong out and let Bai Qinchen 'eat' her, and then trick Lan Hudie out for him to 'eat'.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to rest," Long Tianyang said indifferently, then entered the cave and sat down cross-legged to rest.
After a few days of simple rest, Long Tianyang opened her beautiful eyes, stood up, and said to Tang Kongkong, "Kongkong, let's go."
"Alright!" Tang Kongkong responded excitedly.
She was getting tired of staying in this cave; now she finally had a chance to go out and wander around.
"Long Tianyang!" Tang Xuanyu called out, stopping Long Tianyang, who was about to leave.
"What is it?" Long Tianyang frowned and asked.
"How is Xiuxiu? When will she recover?" Tang Xuanyu asked.
"It should be soon," Long Tianyang replied perfunctorily, then left with Tang Kongkong.
What a joke! Do you think Bai Xiuxiu, when she returns, will still be the wife who only clung to you?
Now, her body has been completely 'taught' by Bai Qinchen to be incredibly sensitive.
Even if Bai Xiuxiu truly regained dominant consciousness, once Bai Qinchen touched her body, she would probably be flowing endlessly.
Bai Xiuxiu's body now completely belonged to Bai Qinchen.
Chapter 154: Huo Wu
The preliminaries continued.
When the tenth round ended, the various teams participating in the Heaven Dou City preliminaries had already pulled apart.
Lan Ba Academy, with an impressive record of ten consecutive victories, unhesitatingly ranked first.
Several other teams shared the same record, which were the other four of the Five Element Academies, excluding Elephant Armored Academy.
Strangely, Lan Ba Academy, apart from encountering Elephant Armored Academy at the beginning, did not encounter any other Five Element Academy teams.
Elephant Armored Academy, however, continuously ran into the other four academies and was defeated without exception. Their defense seemed to have lost its effect.
At this point, Shrek Academy and the other four Element Academies ranked in the top five of the preliminaries, all with perfect win records.
Elephant Armor Academy, however, was extremely miserable, with five wins and five losses in ten matches, their ranking hovering in the middle.
Not only did Elephant Armor Academy itself not expect this, but even the organizers of the tournament did not anticipate such a result.
This also completely widened the gap between the various teams in the preliminaries, with the leading group of five teams far ahead.
However, the upcoming matches would no longer be easy. Lan Ba Academy's opponent in the eleventh round was Blazing Academy, one of the Five Element Academies, a powerful team composed entirely of fire-attribute Spirit Masters.
"Huo Wu, I'm finally going to see you," Bai Qinchen's face showed excitement.
Why did he participate in this All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament? Wasn't it to meet Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Shui Yue'er, and then 'collect' them?
After waiting so many days, he could finally see the Huo Wu he had been thinking about, so how could he not be excited?
"I'm going up for this match!" Bai Qinchen looked at everyone and said.
"You're going up?" The girls looked at Bai Qinchen in surprise.
They had originally thought that Bai Qinchen had no intention of participating in the preliminaries. They had also grown accustomed to their seven-person teamwork during this time, so they didn't expect Bai Qinchen to suddenly announce he was going to play today.
"Look at the Blazing Academy team," Zhu Zhuqing looked at Bai Qinchen in confusion, then at Blazing Academy, and motioned for the other girls to look.
The girls looked towards Blazing Academy and saw an extremely beautiful girl with dark red, wavy long hair flowing down to her waist, a fair complexion, delicate features, and a pair of large eyes shimmering with a faint silver light.
Her golden-red team uniform complemented her perfectly, and with her dark red long hair, she was as eye-catching as a flame. She was tall and had a very well-proportioned figure, always wearing a faint, subtle smile on her face, with a faint red glow subtly emanating around her body.
The girls all nodded in sudden realization, understanding why Bai Qinchen wanted to play. After spending so many days with Bai Qinchen, how could they not know his nature?
"You bad guy, you have so many women like us, yet you're still so greedy, still thinking about other women," Xiao Wu hugged Bai Qinchen, pouting and complaining in his arms.
"Exactly! You can't even take care of us, and now you want to take in other women," Zhu Zhuqing also pouted, looking incredibly resentful.
"You're too much of a playboy!" Ning Rongrong mumbled, not to be outdone.
"Alright, alright, don't you all know how I feel about you? How could having a few more women lessen my love for you!" Bai Qinchen embraced the three girls, kissing their foreheads as he spoke.
"Hmph!" Xiao Wu let out a delicate huff, but said nothing more.
"First round, center arena, Lan Ba Academy versus Blazing Academy!" The host loudly announced the list of entering players. Both teams strode confidently into the arena.
In an instant, the entire stands erupted into a tumultuous ocean of cheers, rising and falling. There were supporters for Blazing Academy, but even more for Lan Ba Academy.
Lan Ba Academy had already defeated one of the Five Element Academies. If they could defeat Blazing Academy again, their status would undoubtedly rise another level. All the spectators were eagerly awaiting this moment.
When they saw that Lan Ba Academy had replaced a player, and that the original team of seven girls now included a boy, they were somewhat surprised.
"Who is this boy? Why haven't I seen him before?"
"Could it be that Lan Ba Academy thinks they can't win this match, so they replaced a main player? Letting this person come up to 'gain experience'?"
"Who is this guy! Get him off! I want to see an all-female Lan Ba!"
In the stands, people were discussing Bai Qinchen, who was making his first appearance, with many even shouting for him to get off the stage.
"Ahem!" The referee also heard the audience's discussions, coughed awkwardly, then came to the center and said, "Both teams, line up and salute!"
The fourteen players from both sides stood in two rows, saluting each other.
Bai Qinchen's gaze remained fixed on Huo Wu, appraising her curvaceous figure.
Huo Wu noticed Bai Qinchen's ill-intentioned gaze, her delicate brows furrowed, and a hint of disgust appeared in her beautiful eyes.
"You may release your Spirits," the referee's voice sounded again.
In an instant, the main central arena glowed once more. Intense spirit ring light filled the entire arena. Undoubtedly, both sides had the optimal spirit ring configurations.
"Whoosh!!!"
When the audience saw Bai Qinchen's black spirit ring, there was an uproar.
A black spirit ring? This meant that the boy on stage was actually a Spirit King?
In the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, the strongest so far had only been Spirit Ancestors. No Spirit King had appeared yet, and Bai Qinchen was the first, naturally causing a huge sensation.
The audience on stage, who had originally thought Bai Qinchen was there to 'gain experience,' never expected him to be Lan Ba's strongest trump card.
Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu of Blazing Academy also frowned when they saw Bai Qinchen's black spirit ring, their faces showing serious expressions.
"Match start!" Accompanied by the referee's command, both teams moved simultaneously at the first moment.
Bai Qinchen unhesitatingly charged towards Huo Wu; his target had always been Huo Wu.
"Don't even think about it!" Huo Wushuang sensed Bai Qinchen's intention and roared. His figure shot out like lightning, blocking Huo Wu's path.
Huo Wu was his younger sister; he couldn't possibly watch her fall into danger. Moreover, Huo Wu was also their team's control system Spirit Master, and her presence was essential.
However, Bai Qinchen used Xiao Wu's third Spirit Ability, Teleportation, disappearing from his sight.
"What's going on?" Huo Wushuang was startled. He felt a gust of wind by his side, and turning his head, he saw Bai Qinchen had already appeared beside Huo Wu.
"Little beauty, we finally meet. My name is Bai Qinchen, and it's a pleasure to meet you."
Chapter 155: Giving You a Change of Clothes
"Huo Wu, be careful!" Huo Wushuang rushed forward with an arrow-like step, quickly reaching Huo Wu's side.
He raised his right arm, and from his palm, a crimson flame surged out, transforming into a fire dragon that blasted towards Bai Qinchen.
"Your opponent is me!" Just as his attack was about to land on Bai Qinchen, Dai Ying suddenly appeared in front of Huo Wushuang, blocking his attack.
At the same time, the other members of Blazing Academy were also entangled by Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing.
"Do you think you've got me all figured out?" Huo Wu's lips curled into a disdainful smile, then she shouted, "Resistive Fire Ring!"
As Huo Wu's shout fell, a dazzling ring of flames instantly erupted around her, pushing Bai Qinchen and Dai Ying away within a certain range.
"Phew!" Huo Wushuang also breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Just a simple exchange with Dai Ying had made him feel a lot of pressure.
Fortunately, there was Huo Wu's Resistive Fire Ring; otherwise, not only he but even the other team members would be in danger.
However, before he could finish his sigh of relief, Bai Qinchen's figure disappeared once again. He instinctively looked towards Huo Wu and indeed saw Bai Qinchen reappear by Huo Wu's side once more.
"Resistive Fire Ring!" Huo Wu dared not hesitate and used the Resistive Fire Ring again.
Bai Qinchen was not discouraged. For every Resistive Fire Ring Huo Wu used, he would use Teleportation once. Compete in spirit power? He didn't believe that he, a Spirit King, couldn't outlast her, a Spirit Ancestor.
"This Bai Qinchen is such a hooligan, so persistent," Tang Kongkong said, pouting her small mouth as she sat in the audience and watched Bai Qinchen on the stage.
"Hehe!" Long Tianyang chuckled, stroking Tang Kongkong's little head, and laughed, "He's not being a hooligan to you, so why are you so angry?"
"I just can't stand the way he is," Tang Kongkong pouted, saying angrily.
She and Long Tianyang had just arrived in Heaven Dou City today and saw Bai Qinchen's first appearance. Seeing his shameless fighting style, she immediately developed a great dislike for Bai Qinchen.
