Chapter 136: Bibi Dong's Invitation to Her Boudoir
"Thank you," Zhu Zhuqing said gratefully, feeling a knot in her heart unravel after defeating Zhu Zhuqing.
From now on, she was Zhu Zhuqing and no longer a part of the Zhu family. She didn't want to go back to that place; she wanted to stay by Ye Wen's side, grow, and become stronger—perhaps even become a god!
To step into that eternal realm.
"Even Xingluo Royal Academy was easily defeated by them. This Beast Academy…"
At this moment, Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan felt immense pressure, even losing all their absolute confidence.
"Beast Academy wins!"
"Xingluo Royal Academy is eliminated!" Su Yuntao announced.
Thus, Spirit Hall's team, Beast Academy, and Tianshui Academy advanced to the top three!
And now, the battle for the top three began.
The top three competition was a tournament-style match. Each team sent seven participants, and they would take turns fighting 1v1. If a team won, they continued; if they lost, they replaced a player. The match continued until two teams had lost all seven of their participants, leaving the last team standing to advance to the finals!
But strangely, Spirit Hall, a team that had been champions for several years, directly forfeited the top three match. They didn't fight, and neither did Tianshui Academy. Beast Academy advanced to the finals.
The reason was that Beast Academy had become a huge threat to Spirit Hall. So Spirit Hall chose to conserve their strength and avoid exposing more of their team's abilities and trump cards. They intended to face Beast Academy in the final match.
After all, defeating Tianshui Academy was no problem for them. Regardless of whether they fought in the top three competition, Spirit Hall's team would still make it to the finals!
As expected, after Spirit Hall defeated Tianshui in their match the following day, Spirit Hall's team advanced to the finals!
Now, the two teams for the final had been decided!
They were Beast Academy!
And Spirit Hall's team!
They would battle for the final Soul Master Tournament championship!
Tianshui Academy took third place in this tournament. They had achieved their long-held goal and were content with that result.
The finals would begin in two days!
During these two days, Spirit Hall's team practiced intensely, constantly strategizing and preparing for their battle against Beast Academy.
Meanwhile, Beast Academy was relaxed, spending the two days playing and relaxing with the Tianshui girls.
Soon, the final night before the tournament arrived.
However, that night, Ye Wen received an invitation from Spirit Hall's Pope, Bibi Dong!
A Soul Master from Spirit Hall, wearing a red robe, arrived in front of Ye Wen and his team. This attire signified the person was a Cardinal of Spirit Hall, and their status was not low.
"Master Ye Wen, Pope Bibi Dong requests your presence. Please follow me to the Pope's palace," the Cardinal said.
The appearance of the Cardinal interrupted Beast Academy's and Tianshui Academy's team-building activities, and everyone's expressions turned serious. They even looked at the Cardinal with a bit of hostility.
Because this was a crucial time, Beast Academy was rising rapidly, seeming stronger than Spirit Hall's team. With Bibi Dong requesting Ye Wen to go alone, it probably wasn't a good thing.
"Bibi Dong actually summoned me alone?" Ye Wen quickly thought to himself, trying to figure out why Bibi Dong wanted to see him. After a moment of thought, he asked, "Cardinal, the Pope wishes to see me? For what purpose?"
"He said there are important matters to discuss with you, but I do not know the specifics. Please, Master Ye Wen, follow me," the Cardinal replied.
Snow Empress leaned close to Ye Wen's ear and whispered, "This feels off, there's something suspicious about it."
Xiao Bai also came to Ye Wen's side. "Yeah, Boss, I feel something's wrong. Maybe you should not go."
"Heh, the Pope of Spirit Hall—if they wanted to harm me, they wouldn't need to send someone. They have many ways to deal with us, these so-called juniors." Ye Wen smiled lightly. "Don't worry, I'll go and be back soon."
Ye Wen wanted to see what Bibi Dong, this woman, really wanted.
Even if Bibi Dong wanted to harm him, Ye Wen wasn't afraid. Worst case, he could switch to his half-human form—who could stop him?
"Take me there."
"Please!" The Cardinal led Ye Wen out of the hotel.
He was then ushered into the prepared carriage, and they headed toward the Pope's Palace.
Moments later, the carriage entered the Pope's Palace and stopped at a designated parking area.
"The use of carriages is prohibited inside the Pope's Palace, so we will walk from here," the Cardinal said, leading Ye Wen toward Bibi Dong's quarters.
Even the smallest Spirit Hall sub-branches across the continent were large, so the Pope's Palace was massive, like a small city. Inside, there were numerous temples and elder halls.
Ye Wen had never had the chance to explore the Pope's Palace thoroughly because, in tournaments, the path was set. He could only enter and exit with no time for sightseeing.
This time, he finally got a taste of the grandeur of the Pope's Palace!
After walking for about half an hour, they arrived at Bibi Dong's residence, a massive, castle-like building.
The Cardinal stopped at the entrance. "Master Ye Wen, I've brought you here. The Pope's quarters are on the third floor."
"Room? The Pope wants me to go to her boudoir?"
Ye Wen was momentarily taken aback. What would they discuss in her room? Was this a bit inappropriate?
"Fine."
Ye Wen pushed open the door and walked in. On the first floor, there were several maids, performing tasks like tending to flowers or preparing meals.
The second floor was the same, but on the third floor, there was no one.
The third floor was Bibi Dong's private area, and normally, no one could enter. Ye Wen walked up the stairs, with walls on either side and only a long corridor. At the end of the corridor was a door—likely where Bibi Dong resided.
As Ye Wen approached the door, a woman emerged from inside. It was Hu Liena.
"Heh." Seeing Ye Wen, Hu Liena wasn't surprised, as she knew he would be coming.
A faint cold smile appeared on Hu Liena's lips. She planned to provoke Ye Wen, as they were soon to be opponents, and there was a sense of hostility between them.
"Mmhehehe~" Soon, Hu Liena's seductive laughter filled the air.
"Isn't this Ye Wen from Beast Academy?"
Today, Hu Liena wore a golden dress, with a V-neck revealing her chest. The skirt was short, and her pale, slender thighs were covered in cream-colored stockings—quite alluring.
She walked with a graceful, seductive sway, her hips moving enticingly as she scanned Ye Wen.
"Hu Liena, what's this woman trying to flaunt?" Ye Wen calmly walked toward her.
