This revelation was more absurd and shocking than anything else they had encountered before.
[Worlds Number One Princess: We...we're characters in a story?]
Ning Rongrong felt her little brain was not enough to process this.
[Little Fox Demon: This...this can't be possible!]
Li Yifei did not bother explaining complex concepts like parallel worlds or information projection.
He simply used a method they could easily understand and accept.
At the same time, he found a perfect excuse for his all-knowing ability.
To make this'setting' more believable, he decided to reveal another 'plot point'.
[Li Yifei: For example, I can see a glimpse of the future.]
[Li Yifei: In that story's future, the Grandmaster we're discussing will soon break through his lifelong Bottleneck with the help of an Immortal Herb called 'Nine-Leaf Purple Ginseng' and reach Level Thirty.]
Immortal Herb?
Dugu Yan's eyes instantly lit up.
Another Immortal Herb! Yi Fei truly has an extraordinary understanding of Immortal Herbs!
Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong, despite their cold hearts, felt a slight ripple at the mention of 'breaking through to Level Thirty'.
Had he finally broken through?
However, Li Yifei's next words completely shattered their fledgling emotions.
[Li Yifei: Then, this newly Level Thirty'super expert' went alone to the Supreme Pontiff Palace of your Spirit Hall.]
[Li Yifei: He said to the then Pope: Although my Disciple has a deep grudge against your Spirit Hall, you cannot harm him. If you do, you will be my enemy! Have you considered the consequences of being my enemy?]
Li Yifei recounted this 'future' in a flat, emotionless tone.
[Li Yifei: In the end, he even warned the Pope that if Spirit Hall dared to touch his Disciple, he would destroy Spirit Hall.]
Chat Group.
Once again, fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone was shocked speechless by this description.
A... Level Thirty Spirit Master.
Went to the headquarters of the most powerful force on the continent, where even Titled Douluo reside, and which carries the Legacy of the gods.
Threatened the current Pope.
Said he would... destroy Spirit Hall?
[Li Yifei: Tsk, tsk, what courage.]
[Li Yifei: A Level Thirty super expert, making threats at Spirit Hall, saying he would destroy Spirit Hall.]
Li Yifei's remarks were like two sharp slaps, stinging everyone who heard them.
Finally, Ning Rongrong's voice, filled with 'pure' shock, broke the eerie silence.
[Worlds Number One Princess: Whoa—]
[Worlds Number One Princess: Thirty... Level Thirty super expert? Isn't that... isn't that the same level as Uncle Fu who sweeps the floor at my house?]
[Worlds Number One Princess: How terrifying!]
Ning Rongrong's exclamation was like a signal.
Instantaneously igniting the pent-up absurdity in the Chat Group.
[Little Fox Demon: Pfft... cough cough! Uncle Fu? The floor sweeper?]
Hu Liena felt like she was going to laugh herself into a fit.
She already had a mental image.
An old man with a broom, pointing at the teacher's nose, arrogantly shouting: Bibi Dong! If you dare touch my people, I'll demolish your Supreme Pontiff Palace!
This image was too funny and too absurd.
[Little Goose: Level Thirty... daring to challenge Spirit Hall? My grandfather is Level Ninety, and even he has to be polite when visiting Spirit Hall. This Grandmaster... did he get kicked in the head by a Spirit Beast?]
Dugu Yan's criticism was merciless.
[Ghost Cat:... Commendable courage.]
Zhu Zhuqing's comment was as concise as ever, but everyone could hear the sarcasm.
[Little Ice Cube: Perhaps... this is the confidence of a theoretical Grandmaster?]
Shui Binger's cool voice also held a hint of mockery.
The girls' discussion was like a joyful feast.
They were unrestrainedly mocking the 'protagonist' of that'story', the arrogant 'Grandmaster'.
But every laugh from this feast was like a burning hot needle, piercing the hearts of Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong slumped to the ground, her eyes vacant.
She could almost see the scene.
The man she had loved all her life, standing before the woman she hated most, speaking the most arrogant and foolish words.
That was not strength.
That was not confidence.
It was just a jumping clown, using his final madness to cover up his deep-seated inferiority and incompetence.
What she felt was not pride, not anger, but... deep-seated shame.
In Spirit Hall,
Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly.
Not out of fear, but out of extreme anger and humiliation.
The 'future' Li Yifei described, where the Pope was threatened, wasn't that her?
She had actually... been threatened by a Level Thirty Spirit Master, pointing at her nose?
And warned that Spirit Hall would be destroyed?
This was the most vicious, most cruel insult to her as the Pope!
Just then, a voice full of curiosity rang out in the group.
It was Xiao Wu.
Unlike Ning Rongrong and the others, she did not have a deep-seated contempt for Yu Xiaogang.
She was simply curious about what happened next in this'story'.
[Bunny is So Cute: Then... then what happened?]
[Bunny is So Cute: Did that Grandmaster... eventually leave Spirit Hall?]
This question brought the mocking laughter in the group to an abrupt halt.
Indeed.
After saying such arrogant words, what was his final fate?
Was he slapped to death by the Pope?
Or hacked to death by Spirit Hall's guards?
All eyes turned to Li Yifei, awaiting his verdict.
Li Yifei did not respond immediately.
His consciousness paused for a moment in the group, as if organizing his words.
Then, he said something that made everyone, especially Bibi Dong, shiver in terror.
[Li Yifei: Leave Spirit Hall?]
[Li Yifei: He did more than just leave Spirit Hall.]
[Li Yifei: He walked in boldly and left unharmed.]
What?!
This outcome was beyond everyone's expectations.
[Worlds Number One Princess: Unharmed?! You've got to be kidding me!]
Ning Rongrong was the first to express her disbelief.
[Worlds Number One Princess: After being scolded by someone of Uncle Fu's level, who threatened to demolish her home, the Pope of Spirit Hall just let him go? This Pope... is too kind-hearted? Or is she... a pushover?]
A pushover?
These words were like a heavy hammer, striking Bibi Dong's chest.
