"Lin Feng, I'm giving you two choices. One, leave now and I'll pretend none of this happened. Two, stay—and that girl stays too—and both of you will endure the torment of my spirit power."
Lin Feng was speechless. Looking at it objectively, having one person escape was better than both suffering.But… was this really the kind of situation that could be dealt with like that?
Qian Renxue looked at him expectantly, and Lin Feng gave her a calm, reassuring glance before turning his cool gaze toward Bibi Dong.
Qian Renxue's eyes curled into a smile, her face full of smug satisfaction as she looked at Bibi Dong triumphantly.
Seeing neither of them move, Bibi Dong was furious. Why—why were they all like this?
She thought back: that man had abandoned her and fled.Soon after, he fell for someone else. It was said that on his wedding night, he discovered his bride was actually his cousin and fled again.
Was her taste in men really that awful when she was young? What on earth did she love about Yu Xiaogang?
A trace of confusion appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes. A voice inside her kept whispering:
Yu Xiaogang is your one true love. You must have him.
But what exactly did she love about him? That voice had no answer.
Agitated, the aura she was emitting flared more violently.
As she came to, seeing the unyielding look in the eyes of Lin Feng and Qian Renxue, and the taunting smirk in Qian Renxue's eyes—
Bibi Dong finally snapped.
Why—why could that scumbag Qian Xunji's daughter find such a loyal companion?
While she herself had endured betrayal from both her lover and teacher, buried in shame and suffering.
Her eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she shouted:
"Why!? Why do you all make these same choices!?SAY SOMETHING!WHY WON'T YOU TALK!?"
Lin Feng and Qian Renxue said nothing.Lin Feng simply looked at Bibi Dong like she was an idiot. You sealed our mouths, and now you want us to answer?
BANG!The doors were smashed to pieces.Bibi Dong had already vanished.
Qian Renxue and Lin Feng collapsed to the ground, panting heavily.
Qian Renxue rushed to Lin Feng, frantically checking him up and down.
"Are you alright, Xiaofeng? Did that woman hurt you anywhere? Did she threaten you? Tell me everything!"
A trace of darkness flickered in her eyes. From her point of view, Bibi Dong was clearly taking out her resentment on Lin Feng.
That already unstable woman was even more deranged now.
Lin Feng shook his head slightly and glanced toward the door.
"She didn't seem like she was in a good mental state."
Qian Renxue paused and said:
"Forget her. Grandpa's right outside. She wouldn't dare come back."
As she spoke, she gently wiped a trace of blood from Lin Feng's forehead, eyes filled with tenderness.
Then she said softly, "Xiaofeng… how about you just stay in Heaven Dou from now on? Don't come back. That crazy woman might go nuts again."
Lin Feng sat cross-legged, pondering briefly."If I go to Heaven Dou, that's fine. But I'll need to discuss it with the Grand Worshipper.My next stage of research can be done there too."
Qian Renxue's eyes lit up.If she could bring Lin Feng with her, that'd be perfect. Once her mission progressed, they could meet any time.
As for arranging Lin Feng's identity, residence, and academy—it was a piece of cake.
"Breath of Life."A gentle white light glowed from Lin Feng's hand, radiating vitality and healing both of them completely.
Qian Renxue clicked her tongue in admiration:
"You really can release soul skills without soul rings… Xiaofeng, you're amazing.Even I'm considering getting a soul meridian like you."
Lin Feng chuckled, his eyes gleaming:
"It won't take long. I'm confident I can help others construct soul meridians within two years."
Immortal herbs… they won't take much longer.And the whale glue that boosts physique and soul ring limits—it's time to start preparing for that too.
The groundwork in the Spirit Hall was laid. The first path had already been successfully explored.
"Really!? You never fail to impress."
Qian Renxue sighed in awe. They were the same age, but how was he so monstrously talented?
"Exactly. The first step is the hardest. With that experience, the rest will come naturally."
Qian Renxue noticed the smile on his face, her gaze lowering slightly, then looked into the distance before leaning in.
She whispered:
"Wanna taste it again?"
Lin Feng froze for a moment, looking at her soft, crystal-clear lips—and then nodded solemnly.
Qian Renxue laughed sweetly. Sure enough, Lin Feng was completely under her control now.
"This is your reward for not running away earlier."
She leaned in softly.
In the Grand Hall of the Pope's PalaceTwo figures stood in confrontation.
Qian Daoliu looked at Bibi Dong, whose eyes shimmered with tears, both shocked and angry.
Who was bullying whom here? From the look of things, it seemed like she was the one wronged.
"Bibi Dong, what madness is this!?"
"Heh."
With a sneer, Bibi Dong dispelled her tears with soul power, regaining her regal poise.
"You think you can stop me? Even if I kill both of them, what can you do!?"
"You dare!? That girl is your daughter!"
Qian Daoliu frowned, the aura of a Peerless Douluo radiating outward.
"Cough."
Bibi Dong struggled to resist the pressure, gritting her teeth as she shouted:
"I don't acknowledge her! She's your Qian clan's bastard! She deserves to die!!"
Qian Daoliu's aura faltered slightly. For all his honor and integrity, how did he end up with a lunatic son like Qian Xunji?
"Suit yourself. But you don't have the right to touch them.Xue'er will be leaving for Heaven Dou soon—you'll hardly see her again.You've already gained the Pope's seat. Do your damn job!"
The pressure vanished as Qian Daoliu stormed off.
Bibi Dong scoffed, her eyes gleaming with malice.
If I can't have it, that bastard daughter of Qian Xunji doesn't deserve it either.Isn't she in love with that brat? Then I'll make her watch as he changes his heart, as other women appear in his arms.I want to see what her expression will be then!
A twisted smile curled on Bibi Dong's face as she strode toward Spirit Academy.
"Greetings, Teacher."
A fair-haired young girl greeted her.
She was timid and delicate, her beautiful little face showing both excitement and fear.
Only six years old, but already beginning to show the charm of womanhood.
She carried an unusual allure, with a slight flirtatiousness at the corners of her eyes.
This was Hu Liena, whom Bibi Dong had recently taken in as her disciple.
Bibi Dong was quite pleased with her: 9.5 innate soul power, and a martial soul that had given her a gentle, obedient temperament.
Very much to her liking.
And now, Bibi Dong felt that steering her martial soul toward the path of enchantment was absolutely the right choice.
"Nana, come with me."
Hu Liena nodded her tiny head and followed Bibi Dong step by step.
