Chapter 2 – Beginning: Possessing the Young Bibi Dong
"It's over… It's over… I've really turned into a girl!"
Qi Tian was completely dumbfounded.
He knew very well—outside of his previous life's homeland, turning into a woman was never a good thing!
Before he could process the situation, a crisp and angry voice suddenly rang out in his mind:
"What are you doing?! Take your filthy hands off me! Stop touching my body!"
Qi Tian froze.
"My body?" He blinked, and out of instinct, squeezed again.
Not gonna lie—it felt pretty nice.
"Pervert! You're still touching?! Get out of my body right now!"
Qi Tian's expression turned strange.
"Wait… am I possessing a corpse? Is the original soul still here because the body isn't completely dead?"
Thinking of that, he asked cautiously,
"Hey, since you claim this is your body—mind, telling me who you are?"
The voice snapped back proudly,
"Of course, this is my body! Listen well—I am the personal disciple of the Pope himself, the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall—Bibi Dong!"
"Bibi Dong?!"
Qi Tian's jaw nearly hit the floor.
'Hold on… I've been groping Bibi Dong's body?!'
That thought alone was enough to make his heart race wildly.
But something didn't add up.
'Wait, isn't Bibi Dong the Pope of Spirit Hall? Why would she call herself the Holy Maiden? Did she misspeak?'
"That's right—it's this lady!" Bibi Dong's cold voice rang out again.
"Now take your filthy hands off me!"
Qi Tian reluctantly withdrew his hand, muttering,
"Filthy hands? These are your hands, you know."
"You vile soul! You're controlling my body—if that's not filthy, then what is?!" she scolded furiously.
"Get out of my body right now!"
She had already tried to summon her second martial soul—the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor, planning to devour the invading soul controlling her body.
But no matter how she tried, her martial souls didn't respond.
Neither the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor nor her Death Spider Emperor would answer her call.
All she could do was shout angrily inside her own mind—completely helpless.
Qi Tian sighed.
"Do you think I want to be stuck in your body? I don't even know how I got in here, let alone how to get out!"
"Impossible!" Bibi Dong snapped. She clearly didn't believe him.
Just then—
Knock, knock, knock!
A series of knocks echoed from outside the room.
"Bibi Dong, are you awake? It's time to get up!"
A gentle female voice came through the door.
Qi Tian panicked instantly.
He had no idea who Bibi Dong's attendants were—if he acted strangely and got caught, would they report him to Qian Xunji and have him purified on the spot?!
"Who's at the door?" Qi Tian asked nervously.
"That's my companion, Ling Yuan," Bibi Dong explained quickly.
"She's part of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation—and my personal guard."
Qi Tian groaned.
"Do you have a way to dismiss her?"
"No. We were supposed to train together today. You'd better open the door yourself!"
"Fine…"
Qi Tian got up reluctantly, stumbling out of bed.
"Wait! Your clothes—change first! Don't go out in sleepwear!"
"And when you walk, hold your head high! You're the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall! Be confident, graceful, dignified!"
Qi Tian hurriedly called toward the door,
"Ling Yuan, hold on! I'll be right there!"
Then he rushed to wash up and change.
The moment his silk pajamas slipped to the floor, he froze again.
The sight before him nearly made him forget to breathe—
Snow-white skin, smooth as jade.
Delicate, perfect feet, each toe like a carved gem. Long, slender legs, curving up into flawless hips and a slim waist.
Her entire figure stood at about 1.7 meters, perfectly proportioned—truly a goddess's body.
Qi Tian swallowed hard.
'What a sin… Such a masterpiece, and I can only look, not touch…'
"Stop staring, you pervert!" Bibi Dong's furious voice echoed in his mind. Then she paused, suddenly suspicious.
"Wait a second… you're not a man, are you?"
Qi Tian coughed lightly, dodging the question.
"Uh… let's just focus on the real issue. How do I wear these clothes?"
Although it wasn't some complicated ceremonial dress, the soul master's elegant long robe still left Qi Tian completely clueless on how to wear it.
Bibi Dong, hearing his words, couldn't resist instructing him step by step. Under her guidance, Qi Tian managed to put the robe on properly and even tidied up his hair a little.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong was naturally beautiful — she didn't need any makeup. Otherwise, Qi Tian really wouldn't have known what to do.
Once dressed and washed up, Qi Tian finally took control of Bibi Dong's body and went to open the door.
Thanks to Bibi Dong's constant coaching, his posture and steps appeared refined and confident — befitting a saintess. The only problem was his facial expressions, which still needed work.
Luckily, this body was strong, balanced, and full of grace. With its natural coordination and muscle memory, he wasn't in danger of being exposed just yet.
When the door opened, a young woman in a tight-fitting black-and-red outfit appeared before him.
Ling Yuan — around twenty years old, bright and charming, with an incredibly curvy figure. Qi Tian didn't dare stare for too long, afraid his expression might give him away.
After all, he had spent so many years in a poor backwater village like Holy Soul Village. It wasn't every day he met a beauty like this.
"Bibi Dong, why are you up so late today?" Ling Yuan asked, a trace of concern in her tone.
"I was cultivating late into the night yesterday… accidentally overslept," Qi Tian replied as calmly as he could.
Ling Yuan didn't press further. She just smiled and said, "Come on, you promised yesterday we'd go to the Scripture Hall together to study."
"Ah? Right! Coming!" Qi Tian followed after her, trying to keep his composure.
As they walked, he couldn't help feeling a rush of excitement.
As an orphan, he had only managed to secretly learn how to read in a tiny private school in his village. Now, he actually had a chance to study inside Spirit Hall's grand Scripture Hall—the center of all soul master knowledge.
No way was he going to waste this opportunity.
"Hey, can you hear me?" Bibi Dong's voice echoed in his mind again.
Qi Tian didn't respond out loud — he didn't know how to use soul communication yet — so he just gave a small nod.
"I met a very talented and knowledgeable martial soul theory master at the Scripture Hall recently," Bibi Dong said. "When we see him later, ask if he knows how to fix our… current situation. Otherwise, we'll be stuck like this forever."
A martial soul theory master? Wait… don't tell me she means Yu Xiaogang?!
No wonder she was so eager to go to the Scripture Hall first thing in the morning. So it was because of him.
Qi Tian nearly rolled his eyes. That guy? If Yu Xiaogang could solve this, he'd write his own name backward!
As Bibi Dong kept chattering in his mind, Qi Tian gradually pieced together a clearer understanding of Spirit Hall and her current life.
Before long, they arrived.
"This is it — the Scripture Hall," Bibi Dong said proudly.
As members of Spirit Hall's "Golden Generation" — and with Bibi Dong being the Pope's personal disciple — the two had no trouble entering.
"There he is," Bibi Dong said softly. "See that man in the corner on the first floor? That's him."
Qi Tian followed her gaze.
In the far corner sat a man in his late twenties, with short dark hair and a square face. He looked a bit gloomy — not exactly the image of a "young genius."
Still, Bibi Dong's voice carried a hint of admiration.
Just then, another voice suddenly echoed inside Qi Tian's mind.
[System Loading Complete!]
[Current Mission: Change Bibi Dong's Final Fate — Lead Her Toward the Light!]
[Stage Reward: Borrowed Cultivation — You can cultivate using Bibi Dong's body, and your real body will receive all soul power feedback.]
[Final Reward: A Second Martial Soul!]
[Note: This is a parallel world; deviations from the original timeline are normal.]
"Huh? A system?!" Qi Tian froze for a moment, realization dawning.
So that's why he ended up inside Bibi Dong's body — it was the system's doing!
"Change Bibi Dong's fate? How exactly am I supposed to do that?" he asked.
The system didn't respond directly. Instead, a task list appeared before his eyes.
[1. Prevent her from falling in love with Yu Xiaogang.]
[2. Stop her from descending into darkness within the secret chamber.]
Qi Tian stared at the list, his expression turning complicated.
'So this is my mission, huh…?'
