Thinking of this, Bibi Dong suppressed her anger and took a step back.
"How about this?"
"Elders Ghost Leopard and Demon Bear are both quite powerful."
"I'll send them to investigate the true strength of Purple Star Academy first, and then your Hall of Offerings can provide assistance as needed, how about that?"
She then added, hitting the nail on the head.
"They say they won't interfere for now, but what about in the future? Who can guarantee that a god's successor, a future Title Douluo, won't become the biggest obstacle to the Spirit Hall's unification of the continent?"
Qian Dao turned around and faced the enormous six-winged angel statue again.
He closed his eyes and did not reply.
But this silence is clearly a tacit agreement.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong didn't say anything more. She looked at Qian Renxue next to her again and found that the other party was looking at her with a cold and slightly mocking gaze.
"What kind of look is that?"
Qian Renxue scoffed.
"It's nothing, I was just thinking that His Holiness the Pope has some really good methods."
Hearing these sarcastic remarks, Bibi Dong was not angry; instead, she mocked her daughter.
"It's been years since I last saw you. While you were in that palace, did you perhaps pick up some cowardly habits?"
"You were scared to this extent after being threatened by a kid who was only ten years old?"
Qian Renxue ignored Bibi Dong's sarcastic remarks.
She bowed slightly to Qian Daoliu's retreating figure.
"Grandpa, I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, she turned and walked away, pausing slightly as she passed Bibi Dong.
"I hope that because of His Holiness the Pope's decision, my Spirit Hall will not lose two Title Douluos in vain."
After saying that, she left the hall without looking back.
Bibi Dong stood there, staring at Qian Renxue's disappearing figure.
Complex emotions surged within those cold, phoenix-shaped eyes.
After a long while, she too, leaning on her scepter, turned and left the hall.
In the empty hall, only Qian Daoliu remained once again.
A long sigh echoed softly in the hall.
Qian Daoliu looked up at the statue.
"My Lord Angel..."
"Please tell me, is that golden sun friend or foe?"
"It will become a lighthouse illuminating Xue'er's path ahead."
"still..."
"The blazing sun that can completely melt the wings of angels?"
The main hall was deathly silent.
Only that cold angel statue remained, maintaining its posture of compassion for all living beings.
Looking down on the world.
...
at the same time.
Inside the villa at Purple Star Academy.
The morning sunlight streamed through the gaps in the curtains and onto the soft bed.
Inside the covers, Dongfang Jing slowly opened his eyes.
I didn't sleep very soundly.
It wasn't entirely because I was too excited to kiss and hug my master.
Instead, he had a strange dream.
In his dream, he became the sun, hanging high in the sky.
Below him, a golden angel with six wings brandished a longsword, trying to break through his radiance.
The two constantly collided and clashed in the air.
Finally, the angel folded her wings and transformed into a stunningly beautiful blonde woman, wanting to throw herself into his arms...
Before the opponent could succeed, Dongfang Jing transformed from the sun into a human and kicked him away.
Then she woke up.
"call..."
Dongfang Jing let out a long sigh and rubbed his throbbing temples.
What nonsense is this?
...
...
Today is the day that Biji and Wang Qiu'er are returning to the Star Dou Great Forest.
Everyone who knew the situation arrived at Brigitte's room early in the morning.
Wang Qiu'er stood by the window, gazing into the distance, seemingly sensing something.
"The ice silkworm is calling out more and more frequently," she said, turning to the crowd.
The messages from the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm kept urging them to return quickly.
"Disciple, come here for a moment. I have something I want to say to you privately."
Without saying a word, Brigitte grabbed Dongfang Jing's hand and headed towards the room's ensuite bathroom.
"Click".
The bathroom door was closed.
Dongfang Jing was puzzled, but hadn't had a chance to speak yet.
A delicate fragrance wafted over.
Brigitte stood on tiptoe and offered her lips, kissing him deeply.
Dongfang Jing stiffened for a moment, then relaxed and awkwardly responded.
After a short while, the two separated, panting heavily.
Brigitte's cheeks flushed a beautiful blush as she leaned against Dongfang Jing's chest, trying to calm her rapid breathing.
I will be back soon.
"wait for me."
"Yes." Dongfang Jing nodded; he understood.
Master is so kind; he has been comforting him since last night in order to take care of his feelings.
Brigitte stepped back from his embrace and gently touched his lips with her finger.
"We agreed last night that in public, we would act as usual, as master and apprentice."
She tiptoed again and left a soft kiss on his cheek.
"There are some intimate things we want to do, but we'll save them for private..."
Dongfang Jing's heart skipped a beat. He grabbed Biji's hand and responded in a low voice.
"I will do as Master says."
The two cuddled together in the bathroom for a while before calming themselves down and opening the door.
As soon as I stepped outside, I was met with several scrutinizing and probing eyes.
Biji and Dongfang Jing remained expressionless, pretending that nothing had happened.
Little did they know, the faint lip print on Dongfang Jing's cheek already said it all.
Without saying a word, Dongfang Jing gently raised his hand, and a portal of light appeared in the room.
Across the portal, a lush, verdant forest could be faintly seen.
"Then I'm leaving."
Brigitte waved to everyone with a bright and radiant smile, all traces of her previous gloom gone, and took the lead in stepping into the portal of light.
Wang Qiu'er also stepped forward.
But a second before stepping through the portal, she stopped, turned around, and met Dongfang Jing's gaze in mid-air.
Dongfang Jing returned her a faint smile.
It's as if it's saying, "I'll wait for you to come back."
Wang Qiu'er pursed her lips, turned around without saying a word, and walked into the portal.
...
The scenery before my eyes suddenly distorted.
After the light and shadow shifted, the original room had transformed into a vast and boundless primeval forest.
The familiar scent of grass and trees wafts towards you.
Biji and Wang Qiu'er were standing in front of the wooden house built by Dongfang Jing himself in the settlement of the Emerald Swan clan.
"Goose!"
Several emerald swans nearby, seeing their beautiful chieftain suddenly appear, scurried over and affectionately nuzzled her legs with their heads.
Brigitte smiled and bent down, responding to the enthusiasm of her people.
Wang Qiu'er, who was standing next to her, just watched Bi Ji quietly, then suddenly spoke, saying something surprising.
"Did you and Ah Jing...do it?"
"Cough cough cough!"
Brigitte almost choked on her own saliva.
She looked up, her ears turning pink.
She hurriedly waved her hands and explained, "Nothing of the sort! Qiu'er, don't talk nonsense!"
"Our...our relationship is completely platonic!"
Wang Qiu'er understood what was going on when she saw the girl's shy and bashful expression, which she had given up on acting altogether.
Although she had long anticipated this day would come,
But her strong possessiveness still made her feel a little jealous.
However, she didn't continue the conversation on that topic.
They turned away and walked towards the Lake of Life.
