Chapter 367: Common Sense

Plans aren't always without risks and this is the risk of taking out Golden Crocodile Facing Qian Xunji.

Things may seem simple on the surface when one considers the fact that Qian Xunji isn't in his strongest form but... he doesn't need to be his strongest to kill her.

Even if Bibi Dong is being protected by the Rakshasa Scythe, it isn't out of her will. It is the Divine Weapon's personal intent to protect her but when this intention changes is not something Bibi Dong can assume. Things, however, seem favorable for now since she completed the first trial and felt the remnants of Rakshasa's intent within her have an approving response.

As Rakshasa stated, Bibi Dong gets nothing from completing the trials but that, too, is partially true.

'So... this is what Ja Sun meant by 'Law.'' Bibi Dong takes a mental note as she looks at the words appearing in her mind.

Comprehension of the Law of Negativity: 20/100%

The world around her feels slightly strange. Not only does she feel attuned to the world far more than when she broke into Rank 70 and Rank 90 but she also feels... perfectly aware of the 'filth' within her.

Not guts and other gory bits but her negative emotions.

Fear. Anger. Hate...

And much more.

It's like a chaotic whirlpool.

And this sudden trance comes at a cost when Qian Xunji speaks up, "So, you're comprehending law. It's connected to the Divine Weapon in your hands. And the first trial... should have something to do with the act of killing Golden Crocodile. Huang Jin Tong... was that his true name? But you risked a lot and before his death, I sensed he has reached rank 99 in a matter of an hour."

Musing loudly, "It is safe to assume that your first trial is to kill a Rank 99 Titled Douluo. But... you did not kill my father and I raised you better. Emotions have gotten in the way of your decisions."

Bibi Dong snaps out of her daze and looks at the man silently, letting him finish. She has already brought up Ja Sun a few times and her scythe has also shown that his divine intent, for the time being, is useless. She cannot oversell both of these things or else she might give away a potential weakness.

Silence is considered a golden virtue for a reason.

After Qian Xunji finishes speaking, he keeps quiet and observes Bibi Dong, too.

He is largely unbothered by her appearance. It's only after a few short minutes when he realizes that Bibi Dong isn't going to show weakness anytime soon and Ja Sun's presence is still hidden does he raises a demand.

"Hand me over my father and I will return and leave your group to whatever they are upto."

"Grandmaster is in King's Lair. There is no point in bringing an unconscious weak link with us," Bibi Dong replies calmly. She may not trust many things but she does believe Ja Sun's abilities and bets on the fact that their Yacht, Honey, is still hidden in Qian Xunji's senses. After all, Violet and Ja Yin used this Yacht as a core to set further arrays to hide the two spatial artifacts for a while and they managed to stay hidden until the first barrel devoured the group of Spirit Masters and the second time, the divine intent of her weapon acted as a beacon for Qian Xunji to notice.

As expected, Qian Xunji nods calmly. He doesn't sense Qian Daoliu and he doesn't have enough strength to break into King's Lair. Dropping this issue, he moves past, "I won't bother demanding my God Tablet or Divine Weapon at this moment. But I need to understand why Ja Sun is traveling the seas."

"It's our honeymoon," Bibi Dong smiles, "Ja Sun believes it would take my mind off the recent events. You proved him wrong, congratulations."

Narrowing his gaze as the whites of his eyes turns blood-red, Qian Xunji 'advises', "The truth."

"You have never been in a relationship so something as simple as this may not register your understanding," Bibi Dong narrows her own gaze with her eyes turning purplish as the Rakshasa Scythe lets out an agitated noise, "I suggest you take some time out of your busy schedule and aim to develop a consenting relationship with a woman."

Thinking for a moment and looking at Qian Xunji's clothes, Bibi Dong adds, "Or a man. The world is changing and becoming more open, after all."

"Humorous," Xunji smiles.

"You're after the Sea God Island," He suddenly states with a sense of certainty, "So am I. The Divine Inheritance belongs to me."

Seeing her not respond to all this, Qian Xunji adds, "My Divine Intent shall remain on the Sea God Island the entire time henceforth. The moment Ja Sun tries to tamper with the inheritance, I shall arrive and destroy it. He is indeed my counter but his domain is mortal, mine is divine. If he stops me, the opposite is also the same."

Looking in the direction of the island in question, he remarks, "But if he stays away, I shall, too. You cannot accept another inheritance, too. So, it will be left to my subordinates and Beast God's."

Now, Qian Xunji is following common sense. Common Sense dictates that Ja Sun is greedy and he would want the treasures of the Sea God Island. Common Sense dictates that Ja Sun would want to have another God on his side to suppress Qian Xunji firmly.

But...

Common Sense gets fucked sideways when Ah Yin's life gets risked for Ja Sun.

And even if Bibi Dong is internally reluctant... she admits she cannot change Ja Sun's decision on this one.

For her, common sense dictates that she must somehow convince Ja Sun to do the opposite...

However, Xunji said it rightly. She willingly lets emotions get in her way.

She, too, is annoyed about what happened to Ah Yin but if it was her, she would have still made use of Poseidon's Inheritance. And that is why Ja Sun easily stays away from positions of power and lets more competent ones make decisions.

Ja Sun is not incapable of the act. He has led before. And he realizes that the lack of making decisions and the consequential responsibility is a far better way of life for him.

"I will relay that to my husband," Bibi Dong nods calmly and Xunji disappears.

Still keeping a cold expression, Bibi Dong suddenly injures herself further by wielding the Rakshasa Scythe to let out a massive burst of the divine will that blasts away a large area of the sea before she taps the blue sapphire under her feet as she feels further into the gap of the sea created by the previous blast.

In the next second, Ah Yin brings back Bibi Dong into the Spatial Artifact while the Sea converges and devours the Sapphire.

*Huff*

'So much for a breakthrough...' Bibi Dong returns to her room where Qian Xunji cannot hope to sense her and vomits a torrent of black blood and passes out.

The moment the scythe returns to her body, color returns to her face once more.

After a while, Ah Yin enters Bibi Dong's room and tucks her in.

---

"Woah... it worked out!" Ja Sun exhales deeply and begins to laugh loudly.

Master Attainment in Temporal Laws!

"So only a few days have gone by in my world but the only reason I can compare the differences is due to my body being in one flow of time and consciousness in another. If I entered another space entirely, I cannot notice the difference. But that doesn't mean it won't work once I have higher attainment in the Law of Time."

"But..."

Ja Sun groans.

This doesn't make it any easier. In fact, his urge to give up somehow seems to have increased after reaching his initial goal.

"Suck it up!" Ja Sun begins to talk to himself, the first sign of insanity after not getting laid for god knows how many years, "My unborn son has no quitter for a father!"

*Growl*

The lightning panther growls and attacks another foe and Ja Sun adjusts his mental state, "Next is the Law of Lightning!"

"Aaahhhhh! I'm going crazy!" Hu Lana hisses around the dining table with others around.

"Just let it go," Ah Yin comments calmly and eats her cucumber soup but Hu Lana does not let go and slams her palm on the table, "That Bastard does not lie when it comes to pranks!"

Attracting everyone's attention, Hu Lana comments, "He said, that there is a surprise on the ship! What? Where? And how bad is that?"

Standing up she tries to rally the crowd, "We never got a chance to think about it when he was around and when he entered his man cave, and then we got busy with Spirit Empire but what now? I can't help but think that Ja Sun used you two as a distraction to stop us from thinking about it!"

She points at Yuehua and Ja Yin who look speechless while Bibi Dong, who has recovered quite a bit, sighs, "You're overthinking it."

"Am I? Am I really?" Hu Lana repeats her question. This and her pregnancy has really started to get to her.

"She might be onto something," Oscar comments somberly, "Remember when we got our wardrobe rings? I still have phantom pain..."

Xie Xan cringes and scowls, "Don't make me remember that again!"

"What are they talking about Master," Feng Liu looks at Bibi Dong who comments calmly, "Ja Sun pegged them."

"He did not!" Both the men snap at once.

"I mean... he kind did my smell-bear," Jun'er utters wryly.

"Yeah, he did everything but shove it with his own hand," Hu Lana shrugs but frowns, "See, he somehow finds a way to distract us even now!"

"I think you have stayed on the ship for a long time," Bibi Dong comments.

It's true.

They haven't left the Spatial Artifact since then.

"Yeah, that's your crazy talking," Liu Erlong shrugs.

"I'm telling you guys he has something planned!" Hu Lana persists and then nods, "But... we can't find it. So, I propose we make the best use of our time."

"And cultivate hopefully," Bibi Dong mumbles.

"And prank him the moment he gets out," Hu Lana looks more than serious.

She... looks insane.

But everyone has been on an edge recently.

"Alright, a few plans, and then we commit to our growth. This will be our distraction for some time but you all need to buckle back to cultivation," Bibi Dong doesn't brush away Hu Lana's current condition and plays along to let her vent her frustrations in her own way so that she stops distracting others from cultivation.

And when Hu Lana told her plan... it actually surprised many.

It's a good one.

But they lack the necessary timing and key elements to pull it off but this only makes others motivated to think more and focus less on their 'prison.'
