Bibi Dong said indifferently, "More than a month ago, Ghost and Naer found the legendary forest king, the Titan Great Ape, on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest. We're trying to figure out if something has happened inside the Star Dou Great Forest. I, too, plan to go and take a look."
"If we manage to hunt that Titan Great Ape and obtain its hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone, our strength will definitely grow significantly."
"Is it true? That thing really exists?"
Qian Renxue was somewhat moved. She had heard rumors of the Titan Great Ape appearing near the Star Dou Great Forest a long time ago, but the whispers were faint and she thought it was just folklore, so she hadn't taken it seriously.
"Of course it's true. Ghost saw it with his own eyes. But we've been keeping it quiet to avoid causing a stir. Roughly speaking, you at least need to be a Super Douluo to take on the forest king, so I have to go personally."
There was no emotion on Bibi Dong's face, as if recounting something ordinary, perhaps the only one at Notting College who could touch her soft spot in the heart.
"Forest King, Titan Great Ape…" Qian Renxue muttered to herself, then waved her hand and said, "The Star Dou Forest is vast. Even if you find it yourself, without an exact location, you might not be able to successfully hunt anytime soon. But my matter is urgent."
"What is it that has caught your attention? Tell me."
Bibi Dong's Pope scepter slammed onto a stone slab, sending a powerful wave of spirit power that blew Qian Renxue's hair wildly like catkins.
"I want you to help me find someone from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus."
Qian Renxue straightforwardly stated her purpose.
"A man?" Bibi Dong frowned.
Qian Renxue was young, and girls at that age were often easily swayed by uncles, especially men from the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family. Bibi Dong held a bad impression of the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family, largely because they had insulted and expelled someone dear to her.
In the original story, Bibi Dong took soul-killing action that wiped out the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family, but the real reason was to avenge Yu Xiaogang's suffering. Love, when extreme, could shake the world.
"To be exact, it's a boy," Qian Renxue corrected.
Liu Erlong had caused trouble at Thunder Academy, but it was no use. After thinking it over, she felt she had to take action now.
The Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus family couldn't be trusted, so she hoped the Wuhun Hall would accept Subei for training.
"A boy?"
Bibi Dong stomped her scepter and hummed, "What? For a boy, you want to clash head-on with the Blue Electric Tyrant Dragon Sect? You should know this is not the best time."
"You're nothing like the sensible and quick Qian Renxue I know," Bibi Dong coldly hummed and said.
"But he's worth it."
The sacred light above the temple shone down, making Qian Renxue's delicate crystal-like body appear as pure as white jade.
"Worth it? Haha."
Bibi Dong smiled dismissively and suddenly pushed her away.
"Funny. What do you mean by 'worth it'? Is it betrayal? Are you ready to give everything for him?"
"I won't allow it!"
"Go back, return to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, and be your prince!"
Bibi Dong's Pope scepter emitted a dazzling light, thrusting Qian Renxue out of the temple.
Boom!
Golden wings spread from Qian Renxue's back, hundreds of golden threads swirling around her. The ground cracked beneath her white long legs.
"If you refuse, then I have no choice but to visit the Blue Lightning Overlord Longzong in the name of the Elder Palace. If your identity is revealed, it will delay the Wuhun Palace's plan to annex the Heaven Dou Palace. Will you accept that?"
Qian Renxue looked straight at Bibi Dong with sharp eyes, unafraid.
"Are you threatening me?"
Anger flashed in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. She waved her jade finger and said coldly, "You can't break this rule. If you fight a Tian Sanzong over a man, it will affect the overall plan of the Wuhun Palace, and your grandfather will never allow it!"
"Besides, that man has already turned away from you. He will only kill the one you want to save and hasten his death."
Bibi Dong's cold words struck deeply.
Essentially, she didn't want to see Qian Renxue walk the same path she had.
Qian Renxue argued, "No, if Grandfather knew his talent, he would try everything to win him over."
"Also, I want to correct you, he's a boy—the most beautiful boy in the world—and I won't let you insult him!"
The Leng Ao cat that Qian Renxue wanted to anger didn't seem to be joking.
"Talent?"
Bibi Dong descended from her high place and slowly walked the steps. "The most talented person is already in the Wuhun Hall. You think there is someone with excellent talent? What pride could he have?"
Qian Renxue said softly, "Seven years old, fifteenth-level soul master, knowledgeable and observant of the world. Appearance is the only thing I want in this life."
"How much weight do you think this kind of talent holds in the heart of the noble Pope?"
Qian Renxue's last words were sarcastic.
Though she was ignored, Bibi Dong still cared about the keywords: seven years old, fifteenth level, extremely knowledgeable...
As the Queen of the Heaven Dou Empire and leader of the largest soul master organization on Douluo Continent, Bibi Dong was surprised and incredulous.
Unless it was someone gifted with innate spirit power level reaching the twentieth level—or even stronger—the highest level among children should not surpass the tenth level of innate spirit power.
Ordinary children, even if awakened with full innate spirit power at six years old, usually couldn't break past the fifth level in their first year.
There were two most difficult stages in a soul master's life.
The first was just after awakening their spirit power, when control was poor and unfamiliar. It gradually improved after the first year of training and adjustment ended.
