Chapter 70: Bibi Dong: Will the Holy Son and Saintess Marry When They Grow Up?
Seeing Bibi Dong's anxiety, Qian Xunji gently rubbed her head and comforted her with a doting expression.
"Dong'er, don't worry. Deep meditation is different from enlightenment. The longer the deep meditation lasts, the greater the gains for a soul master."
"Back then, I also entered a deep meditation state, though it only lasted about half a month. Even so, it benefited me greatly."
"Now that Xiao Yuan has already been in deep meditation for a month, his gains will certainly be extremely abundant. In fact, I would even prefer for him to remain in deep meditation longer. So you should be hoping your junior brother wakes up later, not sooner."
Hearing this, Bibi Dong gradually calmed down. Holding the basket of food, she quietly waited for Yun Yuan to awaken.
Over the past month, she had practically been living in Yun Yuan's palace, worried that he would be hungry when he woke up. Every day, she prepared fresh food and waited for him.
After about half an hour, Bibi Dong noticed Yun Yuan's hand holding the Atlas Spear tremble slightly. This immediately made her perk up.
In the next moment, Yun Yuan slowly opened his eyes. His nose seemed to catch the scent of the delicious food in Bibi Dong's basket.
"Senior Sister… hungry…"
Before he could finish speaking, Bibi Dong had already rushed over with the basket and gently stuffed a meat bun into Yun Yuan's mouth.
After tasting the food again, Yun Yuan no longer cared about his image and began devouring it in large bites.
Ten minutes later, Yun Yuan finished all the food in Bibi Dong's basket and finally felt revived.
"Xiao Yuan, how were your gains this time?"
Seeing Yun Yuan return to normal, Qian Xunji finally asked, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"Teacher, the gains were substantial. Now I've reached the realm of intent perfection. One step further, and it will be the realm of the spear heart."
This month-long deep meditation had not only greatly advanced his understanding of the spear but also helped him sort out his cultivation condition, giving him a clearer and deeper understanding of his path.
"The realm of the spear heart? That's truly fast."
"Perhaps in just a few years, even I won't match you in comprehension of weapon intent."
After a brief sigh of admiration, Qian Xunji seemed to recall something and began sizing up both Bibi Dong and Yun Yuan.
"Teacher, is there something you want to say?"
Noticing Qian Xunji's gaze, Yun Yuan felt puzzled and asked, looking straight at him.
"Yes, there is. Your senior sister has already reached the Soul Elder level. Her strength is sufficient, so it's time to establish her as the Saintess."
"In addition, three months from now, Spirit Hall will hold a coronation ceremony for both of you, letting the entire continent know of your existence."
"The reason we didn't hold your coronation two years ago was because I wanted to confirm Dong'er's status as Saintess first and then hold it together."
Hearing her teacher's words, Bibi Dong's eyes instantly lit up, and she became so excited that she began dancing with joy.
"I'm going to become the Saintess, hehe."
After the excitement, Bibi Dong muttered softly. She then glanced at Yun Yuan twice, seemingly a bit shy. Her delicate and beautiful face flushed red.
Seeing her like this, Yun Yuan was confused. What was going on with his senior sister? She was acting so strangely.
Not long after, Bibi Dong shyly looked toward Qian Xunji. Gathering her courage, she spoke the question she had been holding in her heart.
"Um, Teacher… in our Spirit Hall, do the Holy Son and Saintess have to get married when they grow up?"
Hearing this, Yun Yuan abruptly turned his head toward Bibi Dong, whose face was completely flushed red. He was a bit dumbfounded. So this was what had been on her mind the whole time.
Senior Sister… Just how much are you coveting my body?
As for Bibi Dong's question, Qian Xunji smiled in satisfaction before answering:
"Haha, Dong'er, that depends on whether you and your junior brother are willing. If both of you are willing, I will personally host your wedding when you grow up. At that time, ten li of red bridal adornments will cover the entire Spirit City."
Hearing Qian Xunji's description, Bibi Dong's eyes sparkled. Ten li of red adornments, marrying her junior brother… for some reason, it made her feel inexplicably excited. What was going on?
Just as Bibi Dong was lost in her imagination, Yun Yuan lightly coughed, pulling her back to reality. Otherwise, she might have started thinking about what to name their children.
"Teacher, I understand about the coronation ceremony. Is there anything else?"
"Of course there is."
"Hmm? There's more?"
Though puzzled, Yun Yuan still quietly looked at Qian Xunji, waiting for his answer.
"Xiao Yuan, have you heard of the Soul Master Tournament?"
Hearing this, Yun Yuan frowned slightly and asked, "Teacher, are you planning to have me participate in the Soul Master Tournament?"
"Yes."
Qian Xunji nodded and slowly explained his plan:
"The coronation ceremony for the Holy Son and Saintess is set for three months from now. The Soul Master Tournament will begin in a few days, and the day it ends will coincide exactly with your coronation ceremony."
"I believe that you and Dong'er will definitely win the championship of this tournament. At that time, as the champions, you will prove to everyone why you are worthy of being the Holy Son and Saintess of Spirit Hall."
Yun Yuan silently nodded at Qian Xunji's decision, finding it quite reasonable. As the Holy Son and Saintess of Spirit Hall, they naturally needed to demonstrate corresponding strength to convince others.
And nothing carried more weight than winning the Soul Master Tournament. It would not only showcase their abilities but also enhance Spirit Hall's reputation, attracting more geniuses to join—a win-win situation.
As for whether they could win the championship, Yun Yuan thought it was completely effortless.
If he couldn't win, he might as well find a place to smash his head to death. With his current setup, even if it were placed on that useless Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang could win the championship in a crushing manner.
His soul power was already close to the Soul King level; his soul ring configuration was yellow, purple, black, and black; his comprehension had reached intent perfection; and his martial soul, the Atlas Spear, far surpassed even god-level martial souls.
However, this Soul Master Tournament was not as simple as Yun Yuan imagined.
At this moment, Qian Xunji looked at Yun Yuan with interest and revealed the changes to this tournament.
"Xiao Yuan, there's something else I need to tell you. To make your fame spread further, through my efforts, I've slightly changed the rules of this Soul Master Tournament."
"This time, I'm offering three ten-thousand-year soul bones as rewards and have invited all the top forces across the continent to participate. The competing teams will not only include geniuses from major academies but also geniuses from the top forces."
"Among them is the Clear Sky Sect. I believe Tang Xiao, who attacked you last time, will represent them in this tournament. I know you've been holding in your anger since then. Now, you can use the Atlas Spear in your hand to break his Clear Sky Hammer. I know you have that strength now."
As Qian Xunji finished speaking, Yun Yuan narrowed his eyes, revealing a dangerous glint. The grudge from last time had yet to be settled. This time, he would properly deal with that future twin star of the Clear Sky Sect.
