As Ye Han's body went limp, Bibi Dong finished her examination and revealed a satisfied smile.
"Alright, my dear disciple, you may leave now."
She chuckled mischievously and lifted Ye Han off her lap.
"Leave…?"
Ye Han was still dazed and hadn't fully recovered. His small body was out of control, and he stumbled forward, crashing into Bibi Dong's embrace.
Bibi Dong's body trembled, going soft and numb, her jade-like arms instinctively wrapping around Ye Han's head.
"Hiss—!"
Everyone in the room was instantly stunned, their jaws nearly hitting the floor, especially the Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos.
"Ah!!!"
Ye Han snapped back to reality and quickly broke free from her embrace, fleeing the scene. He left behind a room full of shocked elders and worshipers, as well as a bewildered Bibi Dong.
"You little rascal, you're so bold! You even dared to take advantage of the Pope!!"
As soon as Ye Han escaped outside, Ling Yuan chased after him, scolding him with a laugh.
"Sister Ling Yuan, I… I didn't mean to…"
Ye Han's face turned bright red, and he wished he could find a hole to crawl into. It was all that lunatic's fault for making him so disoriented. But he couldn't help but wonder if she would use this incident to target him even more.
Still, it was strange. Why had she suddenly decided to examine his body? What was she planning?
As Ye Han pondered this, the Dragon God within his spiritual sea seemed to have an inkling of what was going on. However, since Ye Han couldn't figure it out for now, he decided to stop overthinking it.
"Sister Ling Yuan, let's go home!"
Ye Han grabbed Ling Yuan's hand, eager to leave this awkward situation behind.
Ling Yuan smiled and agreed, quickly taking Ye Han back to their residence.
"You stupid rabbit, get out of the way! Don't make us do something we'll regret!"
"No, no, no! I won't let you barge into my master's room!"
"What's it to you? Calling him 'master' now? You're such a shameless, cheap rabbit!"
As soon as Ye Han and Ling Yuan arrived at the courtyard gate, they heard the sound of an argument inside. Judging from the conversation, it was clear what was happening, so they pushed the door open.
"Creak~!"
Inside the courtyard, Xiao Wu was facing off against Hu Liena and Dugu Yan. The tense atmosphere was instantly broken by Ye Han and Ling Yuan's arrival.
"Master!"
Xiao Wu, upon seeing Ye Han, immediately threw herself into his arms. Her delicate body trembled slightly as she tearfully complained, "Wuwuwu, Master, they wanted to barge into your room! I wouldn't let them, so they called me a shameless, cheap rabbit and even tried to bully me!"
As Ye Han listened to Xiao Wu's complaints, he felt both exasperated and annoyed. So what if they wanted to go into his room? She was making a big deal out of nothing, and getting scolded was her own fault!
However, he didn't show this on his face. Instead, he had to comfort her properly. After all, if he wanted to effortlessly deal with Da Ming and Er Ming in the future, he would need her help. He had to keep her loyal.
With this in mind, Ye Han gently stroked Xiao Wu's head and comforted her softly, "There, there, don't be afraid. With me here, no one can bully you."
Xiao Wu melted under his touch, her body squirming slightly in his arms. Hu Liena and Dugu Yan, seeing this, felt a mix of anger and jealousy. But more than that, they were embarrassed at being caught red-handed.
Ling Yuan, not wanting to dwell on such trivial matters, quickly changed the subject. "Little Han, the weather is nice today. What do you want to do? Do you want to cultivate or go out for a walk?"
Ye Han, thinking about how he needed to break free from Bibi Dong's control and complete his trials to avenge his parents, firmly nodded. "Sister Ling Yuan, I want to cultivate!"
Ling Yuan smiled sweetly and began guiding Ye Han in his cultivation, with Xiao Wu and the other two girls joining in.
...
Time flew by like a white steed galloping past a crack in the door.
In the blink of an eye, two years had passed.
During these two years, the continent's situation remained stable.
Qian Renxue's position as the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire grew increasingly secure.
She had gained some influence over the empire's decisions.
As a result, the Spirit Hall began preparing for the ceremony to appoint the Holy Son.
In half a month, Ye Han would officially be appointed as the Holy Son.
Ye Han hadn't been idle during these years. Aside from his daily cultivation with Ling Yuan, he had spent almost all his time working on harmonizing the three Dragon God treasures.
Their compatibility had reached 49%, just one step away from the goal.
Because most of his energy had been focused on this, his cultivation progress had been somewhat slow.
In two years, he had only improved by seven levels, barely reaching level 40 today.
While this was terrifying by the standards of ordinary soul masters, it was somewhat underwhelming compared to Ye Han's talent.
However, Ye Han wasn't concerned. He knew that completing the Dragon God's trials was the real key to becoming stronger.
Now that Ye Han had reached level 40, it was time to hunt for his fourth soul ring.
Early in the morning, Ling Yuan took Ye Han to the Sunset Forest to hunt for the soul ring he needed.
Over the past two years, Ling Yuan had improved from level 94 to level 95.
Her overall abilities had greatly increased, and she easily found a suitable soul beast for Ye Han.
A 53,000-year soul beast—the Ghost Dragon!
After absorbing it, Ye Han's soul power surged by two levels, and he gained a new soul skill:
Fourth Soul Skill: Dragon Soul Mind Control, Ghostly Manipulation!
Skill Effect:
Using his own soul power, Ye Han could summon a mindless ghostly dragon.
This dragon could invade the target's spiritual sea, instantly stunning their mind and soul.
This allowed Ye Han to control the target, with the skill's strength increasing as his soul power grew!
Ye Han was very satisfied with this skill.
With this ability, he could manipulate others at will.
If anyone disobeyed him, he could directly stun their mind and soul.
This seemed even more effective than the Dragon God Soul Imprint he had used on Xiao Wu.
However, there were differences between the two. The former required Ye Han to manually issue the command to stun.
The latter, the Dragon God Soul Imprint, caused the target to subconsciously fear him at all times.
After obtaining the soul ring, it was already late.
The two decided to rest at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Over the past two years, Ye Han had been in seclusion in Spirit City and hadn't left.
However, Du Gu Bo, who had been released from the wanted list, often visited Spirit City to see him.
Over time, as their relationship with Dugu Yan grew closer, they became more familiar with each other.
After resting for the night, they returned to Spirit City. Before leaving, Ye Han invited Du Gu Bo to attend the Holy Son appointment ceremony in half a month.
Ye Han was confident that by then, the compatibility of the three Dragon God treasures would reach 50%, allowing him to explore the secrets beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After the Holy Son appointment ceremony, he could have Du Gu Bo take him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to undertake the Dragon God's fourth trial.
...
At sunset.
Ye Han and Ling Yuan returned to Spirit City.
As soon as they entered the city, Ghost Douluo suddenly appeared.
He informed them that Pope Bibi Dong had invited Ye Han to her chambers.
Ye Han didn't think much of it and went to Bibi Dong's chambers alone.
Ever since the incident two years ago, when Bibi Dong had examined his body in front of everyone, she had frequently invited him to her chambers to sense the soul power within him.
Ye Han guessed that, like the mischievous rabbit Xiao Wu, she was attracted to the aura of the Dragon God's Soul within him.
By now, Ye Han was used to it. He quickly arrived outside Bibi Dong's chambers and was about to push the door open.
"Kid!"
However, at that moment, the Dragon God's low voice suddenly rang out in his mind:
"I sense an unprecedented killing intent! Get away from there, now!!!"
"Boom—!"
As soon as the Dragon God's voice fell, the door was violently blown open from the inside.
From within the room came Bibi Dong's slightly deranged, sinister laughter:
"Hehe, my dear disciple, you've finally arrived!"
"Your teacher has been waiting for you all night!!"
