"Cleanse!"

Han Yuan would have never thought he'd use the Sky Poison Pearl here to help Bibi Dong. The purifying power of the Heavenly Profound Treasure immediately washed the mad pope's mind.

Although the Sky Poison Pearl doesn't have a "sacred" attribute, its level of existence is beyond Douluo Star, and even the Douluo Divine Realm, so this level of resentment is nothing to it.

In fact, the Gods in the Douluo Universe barely stood a chance against the Divine Realm Experts in the Against the God Universe. The so-called divinity and law of the Douluo Universe are nothing against the Primal Chaos Dimension's Laws.

A mere negative emotion of a third-rate divine being is nothing to a pure, primordial force!

Asura? Heh, Han Yuan wasn't afraid of that petty scammer.

But those Divine Beasts, Gods, and Devils in the Primal Chaos Dimension are beyond Han Yuan's current level.

That's why, despite having the ability to travel to the Primal Chaos, Han Yuan didn't dare to do it. He wasn't very fond of courting death.

Anyway, Han Yuan used the Sky Poison Pearl to purify the strong negative emotions in Bibi Dong's sea of consciousness. The resentment caused by the immense hatred and Raksasha God's divine power gradually melted away like dust particles.

At first, Han Yuan actually wanted to save some of this divinity and sealed it inside the Sky Poison Pearl. Yet, he decided not to because he might catch the attention of that bastard Asura.

So, he decided to cleanse it away.

Bibi Dong convulsed violently as the cleansing process was like pulling her skin off. After all, anything related to the mind and soul is a very sensitive matter.

She clung to Han Yuan's body and breathed heavily, making him feel weird. Although Bibi Dong was in disguise, the somewhat loose and concealing dress couldn't hide her figure.

Every time Han Yuan looked down, he could see a valley of whiteness, but forced himself to focus. A waft of lavender scent hit his nostrils. He shook his head helplessly, 'What a sin, what a sin. What am I even thinking?'

'This Love-Brained Woman is beyond saving...' He murmured uncertainly.

'Or is it?' Another flash of thought bloomed unconsciously.

Buzzing sounds filled Han Yuan's ears as he watched Bibi Dong's body emit an eerie purple aura. No, more precisely, this aura comes from Bibi Dong's heart.

Using the Eyes of Truth, Han Yuan could see that Bibi Dong's beating heart is not like any other heart.

It is jet-black with dark purple and red hues.

The dark purple hue is Raksasha God's divinity, which slowly changed Bibi Dong's body into that of a god. As for the red hue, it was Asura's divinity, though smaller and well-hidden, that couldn't escape Han Yuan's eyes.

"Should I cleanse her heart, too?" Han Yuan was in a dilemma.

Strictly speaking, if Han Yuan cleansed Bibi Dong's heart from Raksasha God's divine power, her progress in inheriting Godhood might fail. After all, this was a gradual process.

Han Yuan frowned at the red hue and sighed, 'Whatever, she wasn't a threat to me. Helping her now might change the future for the better.'

Ultimately, Han Yuan decided to wipe Asura's divine power, leaving Raksasha's one intact.

Then, he used the Secret of Souls to create a spiritual barrier around Bibi Dong's mind and heart, preventing her from becoming mad again. It will allow her to inherit Raksasha God's inheritance with more ease.

Of course, Han Yuan didn't do this for free. He also left a backup in Bibi Dong's heart in case her love-brainess becomes severe again.

A few minutes later, Han Yuan sighed in relief, and the Sky Poison Pearl was 'completely' purified of the "extra" negative emotion in Bibi Dong's mind and heart.

Unknowingly, Han Yuan and Bibi Dong's body positions have become awkward.

Han Yuan is on the bench with a somewhat tired look while Bibi Dong is sitting on his lap, hugging him with her 'curvy' body, even wrapping her legs around his waist.

Their position can be said to be very "intimate" right now.

Staring at the beautiful female pope resting her head on his shoulder made Han Yuan feel. How to put it, helpless?

Even then, Han Yuan had to admit that Bibi Dong was beautiful, and calling her a goddess wasn't an exaggeration.

'If not for the love-brain, cough, cough, I mean mental illness, she would have been perfect.' Han Yuan couldn't help but think this. The softness he was feeling right now is just too much.

The worst part is that Han Yuan couldn't move at all.

Aih, what "bad" luck!

Every day should be like this.

Hehe, just kidding.

Han Yuan didn't move, hearing Bibi Dong's soft snore and staring at the moon above silently.

Ten minutes later, Bibi Dong woke up.

"Hmm?" Bibi Dong blinked her eyes. She stared at the park before her in confusion.

She has never felt so comfortable in years.

It was quiet.

"It's like having a good night's sleep." Bibi Dong whispered, feeling the warmth from somewhere.

She instinctively searched for this warmth and hugged it tightly like her favorite pillow back in her Spirit Palace's bedroom.

Yet, she realized the sensation of this pillow is a bit weird.

It's firm, um, and muscular?

"Do you have a good nap, Your Majesty?" A pleasant yet calm voice brushed Bibi Dong's ears.

Bibi Dong's eyes widened as she hurriedly snapped her head back and saw Han Yuan smiling at her. She also realized she was hugging him!

'T-This position!'

'H-How obscene!'

'How could I be...'

Seeing Bibi Dong like this, Han Yuan spread his arms helplessly and explained, "Before you get angry and start accusing me, I didn't do anything harmful to you."

"Believe it or not, you hugged me on your own initiative."

"On top of that, you should be thankful because I recovered your mind from madness."

"Heh, I can't imagine what would happen to Dao Academy if an inheritor of a God like you went on a rampage..."

Bibi Dong was stunned by Han Yuan's words. Only then did she realize her mind seemed calmer than before. She also has a sense of inner peace that she struggled to achieve for years.

"To think I'd repay someone's evil with kindness." Han Yuan sighed. "I don't know what I'm even doing..."

"You..." Bibi Dong was speechless.

Han Yuan narrowed his eyes at her, "Me, what? Didn't you want to kill me earlier?"

"I..." Bibi Dong couldn't respond. After all, it is the truth.

For the first time in many years, Bibi Dong experienced an unexpected emotion.

Shame!

The beautiful pope couldn't help but blush. It took her a while to regain her calmness before saying, "I'm sorry."

It's hard to believe a 'mad' woman like Bibi Dong would say such a thing, but the evidence is before Han Yuan.

The current Bibi Dong is a rational person, whose judgment and morality weren't affected by negative emotions and resentments.

"Sorry, that's it?" Han Yuan chuckled indifferently.

"I can give you a high-quality Spirit Bone." Bibi Dong replied hurriedly.

"..." Han Yuan.

Okay, so that's your game.

Throwing money at your savior's face.

"I saved your life, Your Majesty..." Han Yuan said that and nothing else.

"I can take you as my disciple." Bibi Dong offered another thing. "You can even be the Holy Son of my Spirit Hall."

"Do you really think I need a teacher like you?" Han Yuan snorted. "I can reach the Title Douluo Realm on my own."

"As for Holy Son? What is that? Can it be eaten?"

Bibi Dong bit her lips in frustration, racking her mind. "I can let my disciple marry you!"

"No, I can even let my daughter marry you!"

"..." Han Yuan.

Sorry, what the fuck?
