Chapter 181: Presumptuous! I am the Pope!
Looking at the well-behaved and thoughtful Disciple before her, whom she regarded as her own flesh and blood, the nameless fire of anger that had risen in Bibi Dong's heart because of Gold Crocodile Douluo finally dissipated quite a bit.
She reached out, gently stroking Hu Liena's beautiful hair, and spoke with earnest words and heavy heart:
"Nana, you must remember your teacher's lesson. If you ever have someone you fancy in the future, you must tell me immediately."
"A man's sweet words are the least trustworthy. I have eaten more salt than you have walked roads. I will definitely keep a close eye on things for you, and never let you repeat... never let you be deceived."
Hearing Bibi Dong suddenly bring up such an embarrassing topic, a flush of crimson instantly flew onto Hu Liena's charming and lovely face.
She lowered her head, involuntarily sketching the image of her future partner in her mind:
In her imagination, that person should not only have extraordinary talent and be able to surpass her, but also be elegant, refined, and possess a noble temperament as pure as ice and jade, just like her teacher...
Jiang Li: Have you heard my story?
Tang San: Master, why do I feel like what she's describing is me?
"Teacher~ Nana is still young, I only want to serve by your side!"
Hu Liena shook Bibi Dong's arm like a spoiled child.
Seeing her Disciple's girlish behavior, Bibi Dong gave a doting smile, then her expression gradually turned serious as she shifted the topic.
"There is another serious matter, Nana."
"During this period, the three of you in the Golden Generation must redouble your efforts to Cultivate. Even though you are all Soul Kings now and your configuration is top-tier, if you want to firmly secure the final championship, it is not entirely foolproof."
"You should understand what those three Soul Bones offered by the The Pope's Palace for this Soul Master Tournament mean. They were specially prepared by me for you, and no failure is allowed!"
Hearing serious business, Hu Liena put away her playfulness and nodded solemnly.
However, she still had some doubts in her heart.
Three Soul Kings, four Soul Sects, plus the 'Fiend' Martial Soul Fusion Skill shared between her and her brother, which was enough to rival a Soul Emperor—such a lineup was practically a dimensional strike in previous tournaments.
Could there really be a risk of failure in this tournament?
"Teacher, could it be that there are hidden Masters in this Soul Master Tournament who can threaten us?"
A trace of complex emotion flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she spoke slowly,
"Correct. Nana, you must pay attention to two opponents."
"First, there is a Sect named " Tang Sect " that suddenly appeared in the Heaven Dou division. According to intelligence, their Disciples have merged into the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, and the number of Soul Kings among them... is no fewer than yours."
"Second..."
Speaking to this point, a touch of blind admiration and tenderness appeared in Bibi Dong's tone,
"There is also a team called Shrek. Although their reputation is currently modest, the one guiding them is the most intelligent Master in the entire continent."
"He is the person I admire most; his theories are unparalleled. With him there, that team is full of variables. You must remember not to let your guard down."
Bibi Dong's words piqued Hu Liena's curiosity intensely.
The Tang Sect was one thing, as they were rising stars based on raw strength.
But who was this so-called 'most intelligent Master in the entire continent'? To think he could receive such high praise from her haughty teacher?
As the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, she secretly resolved to thoroughly investigate this mysterious Master later!
...
After sending Hu Liena away, Bibi Dong finally breathed a heavy sigh of relief. If her Disciple hadn't left just now and had followed her instead, she would have witnessed that " Theoretical Master " her teacher praised so highly engaging in 'exercise' with a group of burly men...
That scene would definitely have caused the little fox's worldview to collapse!
With no more concerns, Bibi Dong didn't linger. Her figure turned into a purple-black stream of light, hurrying impatiently to the tenement building on the outskirts of Spirit City.
However, when she actually stood in this dark, dilapidated place where the air was filled with the smell of sweat and a strange scent of boxwood flowers, her footsteps came to a dead stop.
From behind that rickety wooden door, the faint sounds of coarse laughter and some sort of suppressed low moaning could be heard.
Bibi Dong, the formidable Pope, actually lost her nerve at this moment.
An indescribable, inexplicable fear gripped her heart.
She was afraid.
She was afraid that upon pushing open that door, she wouldn't see the Yu Xiaogang of her memories—who, though Trash, was at least somewhat aloof—but rather a piece of broken mud that had been played to death.
If that were the case, the last bit of 'white moonlight' filter in her heart would likely shatter completely.
After standing at the door for a long time, listening to the commotion inside grow louder, Bibi Dong still didn't have the courage to take that step.
Finally, a flash of inspiration hit her, and she thought of a compromise.
"Yue Guan!"
With a majestic low shout, a golden figure instantly emerged from the Void Realm, kneeling on one knee.
"Pope, your Subordinate is here."
"Yue Guan, you go in."
Bibi Dong pointed at the foul-smelling tenement building and ordered expressionlessly:
"Bring out that Master Yu Xiaogang inside, who has suffered an injustice. Remember, find someone to wash him clean first, tidy up his appearance, and ensure there is no... odor before bringing him to the side hall of the The Pope's Palace to see me."
"Ah?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was stunned for a moment. He looked up, his flamboyant face written with resistance and shock.
Wait... Pope, I am a Titled Douluo after all, an Elder of Spirit Hall!
You're asking me to go into a place like a 'pigsty' to fish out a good-for-nothing who is being 'done' by a group of burly men? And I have to be responsible for bathing him?!
This is too much bullying!
However, before Yue Guan could open his mouth to refuse or plead, Bibi Dong's figure had already turned into purple light and disappeared into the horizon, leaving Yue Guan alone to be bewildered in the foul-smelling wind.
"What kind of mess is this..."
Looking at the dilapidated tenement building and smelling that nauseating odor, Yue Guan pinched his fingers in a feminine gesture to cover his nose, his expression turning ugly to the extreme.
"Sigh, Old Ghost, oh Old Ghost, you've certainly hidden away in leisure, leaving all this dirty and exhausting work for me to do alone."
After lamenting his bitter fate, the germaphobic Chrysanthemum Douluo ultimately did not take a single step into that door.
With a dark face, he beckoned over several low-level guards responsible for patrolling and pointed inside with disgust, saying,
"You few, go in and drag that guy named Yu Xiaogang out for me! Immediately! Right now! If anyone dares to be a step too slow, I'll plant him in a flowerpot as fertilizer!"
Even though those low-level guards were incredibly reluctant in their hearts, they had no choice but to brace themselves and walk inside when faced with the order given by the Titled Douluo Yue Guan.
