As Sword Douluo spoke, he seemed to recall something and suddenly turned to Ning Rongrong with utmost seriousness:
"Rongrong, Grandpa knows that because everyone in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has spoiled you, you've grown accustomed to being willful."
"But remember this!"
"In the future, under no circumstances should you actively make an enemy of Dai Chengfeng. On the day he becomes a Title Douluo, he will dominate the Douluo Continent for a thousand years!"
"Dominating the Douluo Continent for a thousand years?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in disbelief as she looked at Sword Douluo. "Grandpa Sword, is he really as extraordinary as you say?"
Although Ning Rongrong believed Dai Chengfeng was powerful, hearing her grandfather's assessment of him still left her shocked.
After all, the Douluo Continent was vast, filled with countless talents—yet her grandfather claimed that Dai Chengfeng would surpass them all?!
Meanwhile, Ning Fengyuan also looked on curiously. Since he had no knowledge of the soul skill Dai Chengfeng had used at the end, he naturally couldn't grasp the weight of Chen Xin's evaluation.
Thus, he couldn't help but ask: "Uncle Sword, Dai Chengfeng is only a Soul Ancestor right now."
"What if he reaches the level of a Title Douluo…?"
However, before he could finish his sentence, Chen Xin cut him off firmly.
"There is no 'what if'!"
Sword Douluo's tone was resolute and decisive. "You don't understand—his talent rivals Tang Chen's back in the day!"
Gasp!
Ning Fengyuan instantly sucked in a breath of cold air. "Tang Chen?"
"You mean the one who was hailed as invincible on land, single-handedly bringing the Hao Tian Sect to its peak and making it the leading sect among the top three?"
Ning Fengyuan's voice carried disbelief.
"Dai Chengfeng's potential is truly that immense?!"
Chen Xin nodded solemnly. "Exactly!"
After speaking, he lightly shook his head and looked toward the inn. "We need to quickly finish our business in Heaven Dou City. Once we return to the sect, I must have a serious talk with Fengzhi."
"The Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall—what a monstrous prodigy they've produced!"
Sword Douluo sighed deeply as he finished.
Watching Sword Douluo's retreating figure, Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengyuan exchanged glances, their eyes brimming with astonishment.
This was the first time they had heard their usually strict grandfather (Uncle Sword) give such a high evaluation of someone.
"What exactly was that soul skill Dai Chengfeng used at the end?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes sparkled with curiosity.
---
On the second floor of the inn, Dai Chengfeng had just washed away the bloodstains and stepped out of the bathroom wearing a bathrobe.
Meow meow~
Qiu'er, seeing him, immediately jumped onto his shoulder and let out a few soft meows, her eyes filled with concern.
It was as if she were asking: 'Dai Chengfeng, are you alright?'
"I'm fine. A few days of rest will do the trick."
Dai Chengfeng smiled and gently patted Qiu'er's small head, feeling the softness of her fur.
Meow?
Qiu'er seemed skeptical. After all, when Dai Chengfeng had returned earlier, he had looked like a "blood-covered" man.
"Would I lie to you?"
With that, Dai Chengfeng gently cupped Qiu'er's face and kissed her lightly on the cheek.
Hearing this, Qiu'er finally relaxed and revealed a content smile.
Bibi Dong, watching Dai Chengfeng, spoke calmly: "Don't push yourself too hard."
Then, she turned to Qiu'er: "Go back to Dai Chengfeng's room. I'll tend to his wounds."
Meow meow~
Qiu'er obediently nodded, hopping and skipping to the door before pushing it open and leaving.
Soon, only Bibi Dong and Dai Chengfeng remained in the room.
"Teacher, how are you going to treat my wounds?"
Dai Chengfeng grinned mischievously, his eyes full of playful intent.
The injuries he sustained were internal, so there were no visible wounds on the surface. The blood covering him was simply the result of extreme strain on his body during the Exploding Ring technique, causing seepage of blood.
Bibi Dong didn't respond but merely gazed at him.
She understood that Dai Chengfeng only needed rest to recover.
Her intention was simply to ensure Dai Chengfeng rested properly. As for treating wounds…
That was merely an excuse to send Qiu'er away.
After all, it was late at night, and she needed to cultivate. If she didn't take advantage of this time to intensify her cultivation, once they returned to the Spirit Hall with more people around, it would be harder for her to frequently summon Dai Chengfeng to her quarters in the middle of the night.
"Kiss me~"
Bibi Dong's voice was soft as she stared directly into Dai Chengfeng's eyes. Her violet irises shimmered with an indescribable emotion—perhaps… anticipation?
Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng didn't hesitate for a moment. He took a step forward and gently cupped Bibi Dong's face.
Under the moonlight, her skin glowed with a gentle radiance. Dai Chengfeng's fingertips could clearly feel the coolness of her skin, smooth and delicate like fine jade.
Soon, Dai Chengfeng applied slight pressure with his fingers, turning her face fully toward him.
Then, he slowly lowered his head, tentatively brushing his lips against hers in a light touch.
When his lips met Bibi Dong's again, Dai Chengfeng could distinctly feel her breath hitch slightly.
Moments later, Dai Chengfeng pressed his lips firmly against hers once more.
Bibi Dong's lips were incredibly soft, carrying a faint coolness.
His right hand continued to gently cradle her face while his left hand slowly slid down her back, encircling her waist and pulling her closer.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong's hands, which had been resting on Dai Chengfeng's chest, gradually relaxed and unconsciously slid upward, her fingertips sensing the warmth of his skin.
It wasn't until a long while later that the two finally separated.
At this moment, Bibi Dong's breathing was ragged, her lips slightly swollen, her cheeks flushed, and her violet eyes misty with an indescribable allure.
"Rest now."
"But Teacher, I haven't had enough kisses yet~"
Dai Chengfeng said, looking at Bibi Dong.
Instantly, Bibi Dong's pupils contracted. "You… what did you just say?"
"I said… Teacher, can I kiss you one more time?"
Dai Chengfeng's eyes sparkled with anticipation, his expression tinged with playful teasing.
"You… How can you still be conscious?!"
Bibi Dong instinctively took a step back, shock and panic evident in her eyes. She couldn't comprehend…
Why had her Spirit Seed failed this time?
After all, the previous Dai Chengfeng would completely lose consciousness upon hearing her commands, doing exactly as she said without uttering another word.
But now, it was clear that Dai Chengfeng was fully aware.
As Dai Chengfeng gazed at Bibi Dong, a faint smile played on his lips. Then, ignoring Bibi Dong's panicked confusion and blank mind, he leaned in and kissed her again.
"Mmph… You… How dare you~"
Feeling Dai Chengfeng's kiss, her hands instinctively rose. After all, in the past, Dai Chengfeng had always obeyed her commands, following her every instruction. But now…
Dai Chengfeng was fully conscious, and she was the one being forcefully kissed.
This was something Bibi Dong simply couldn't accept—she had kissed Dai Chengfeng while he was fully aware.
"Let go… Mmph… I…"
Bibi Dong tried to issue a command, but her voice trembled slightly, a quiver she herself hadn't noticed.
Her rational mind told her to immediately push away this audacious disciple, but her body betrayed her honesty…
