She didn't know how much time had passed, but when Bibi Dong woke up, the windows of Taoyou Pavilion were already open, and faint sunlight streamed in, causing her eyes to narrow like crescent moons.
There was no strange odor within the pavilion; the ice jade bed was covered with various precious flowers and plants, swaying gracefully and emitting a faint, refreshing fragrance.
Her clothes were neat and tidy, without the slightest disarray, which made this beautiful woman have a fleeting illusion:
Could it be... everything that happened with Teacher Su was just a dream?
In fact, nothing happened?
It wasn't until she noticed a few torn marks on her purple dress and sensed the fullness within her body that a faint smile finally appeared on Bibi Dong's slightly pale face, which seemed to have endured a great battle and was drenched in sweat:
"It's real, all of it is real!"
"Were these flowers prepared by Teacher Su? What a wonderful experience. He really... is very gentle."
Bibi Dong's muddled mind instantly cleared quite a bit. Looking at the surrounding blooming flowers and plants, a sense of happiness spontaneously arose within her.
She inwardly examined her condition and found that her body was very weak. The power of the 100,000-year Spirit Bone and spirit ring had been stripped away. Her spirit power had dropped by more than two levels, now fluctuating between level ninety-six and ninety-seven.
This was a drop of more than two levels of spirit power for a Limit Douluo, which had a significant impact on her strength.
However, Teacher Su did not lie to her. Although she lost the 100,000-year Spirit Bone and spirit ring, and her spirit power decreased, her life was not in danger, her pulse was very calm, and she felt that her mental force and the quality of her spirit power had actually become stronger.
In her spiritual sea, the darkness had been mostly dispelled. Originally, there was only the protection of a single Peach blossom petal, but now the Peach blossom petal had taken root, was growing vigorously, blooming into flower buds, and opening its stamens, illuminating half of her Sea of Consciousness.
Perhaps one day, this Peach blossom tree will become the most brilliant and dazzling Tree of Life, a spiritual totem, in her spiritual sea, dispelling all darkness for her.
"What Mind-Cultivation Technique did Teacher Su teach me? I seem to... I seem to have begun Fusion with the Rakshasa God's divine force. Does this mean I have passed the Rakshasa God's assessment?"
Bibi Dong sat on the ice jade bed, releasing wisps of purple-gold spirit power, a little surprised.
"Teacher instructed that you have just lost a 100,000-year spirit ring and Spirit Bone, and a large amount of spirit power has flowed away. Now is a period of weakness, so it's best not to use spirit power and Spirit Ability during this time, otherwise, it's easy to damage your body."
Just then, several young girls successively gathered in from outside the pavilion.
Senior Sister Ning Rongrong brought a bowl of steaming medicinal soup and placed it on the table beside Bibi Dong's bed. Seeing Bibi Dong use her spirit power, she couldn't help but remind her to rest and recuperate.
"This is a nourishing medicinal soup that Teacher had us prepare in advance. It's all brewed from precious-grade and above flowers and herbs, which can nourish the Soul, strengthen the bones, and calm spirit power. Take it three times a day; remember to take it on time."
"Mhm."
Although Ning Rongrong's tone wasn't very good, and she seemed to harbor some hostility and questions towards her, after taking a small sip of the medicinal soup she brought, Bibi Dong already felt a warmth in her heart.
This little girl from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is still giving me attitude?
Soon, soon you'll be calling me Senior Sister-in-law!
"Teacher, let me feed you. You look so weak. What exactly... did you do with Teacher Su?"
Hu Liena walked to Bibi Dong's bedside, took the medicinal soup, and spoon-fed it to Bibi Dong.
It was her first time seeing her teacher so weak, as if she had suffered a serious injury.
"Bibi Dong, what exactly did you say to Teacher? I merely went to arrange accommodation and was away for a while, and you dragged Teacher to stay in this Taoyou Pavilion for five days and five nights, so mysterious."
Qian Renxue also came over, glancing at the weak Bibi Dong. At first, she felt a slight reluctance, but soon her expression became indifferent again, and her tone carried a questioning attitude. Based on her understanding of this woman, the probability of her having ill intentions was simply too great:
"I'm warning you, if you dare to be detrimental to the academy or attack Teacher, our Elder Palace will not stand by and do nothing."
Bibi Dong glanced at Qian Renxue, unconcerned:
"Don't worry, you will understand later. And even if you harbor ill intentions towards the academy, I won't.
Xue'er, remember, a teacher for a day is a father for life. From now on, you must respect and love Teacher Su as your own father, understand?"
Although Bibi Dong was extremely weak, the Aura of an elder in her demeanor made it seem as if she was the superior, suppressing Qian Renxue and making Qian Renxue's face turn ashen with anger:
"I know what I'm doing, you don't need to teach me,"
When she came to her senses and slightly replayed Bibi Dong's words, she widened her eyes and looked at Bibi Dong, but dared not speak directly:
"Bibi Dong, what do you mean? What does 'a teacher for a day is a father for life' mean? You... you?"
If it were anyone else saying this, Qian Renxue wouldn't think much of it, but since it was Bibi Dong, she couldn't help but speculate a bit more.
Bibi Dong did not answer Qian Renxue's words, but merely curled her lips into a casual smile, displaying her triumph to the fullest, which angered Qian Renxue so much that she stormed out of the room on the spot.
"Teacher, you really are something. You're already so weak, yet you still argue with Senior Sister Xue'er. Never mind not angering her, it's not good for your own body to get angry either."
Hu Liena tried to smooth things over, gently blowing on the warm soup and feeding it to Bibi Dong's mouth.
Bibi Dong took a sip, and her jade hands involuntarily touched her belly, thinking to herself:
If I were to have Teacher Su's child this time, and give this girl a younger brother, that would be truly infuriating.
"Supreme Pontiff, this is the Yearning Heartbroken Red. It was agreed beforehand that it would be for your use. Please take it."
After Ning Rongrong and Qian Renxue had all exited, Xiao Wu slowly walked in from behind, took out the strikingly vibrant red flower from her embrace, and presented it to Bibi Dong.
No matter how many grievances there were before, Teacher had already decided to revive her mother. Although her mother was still in Soul form, she could feel that it was her mother's Aura, and one day, her mother would truly come back to life.
Since Bibi Dong was willing to return her mother's power, she should also let go of this grievance and be a little nicer to this woman.
"No need, Xiao Wu. Put the Yearning Heartbroken Red away. I don't need it anymore."
Bibi Dong watched Xiao Wu hand over the Yearning Heartbroken Red, but merely smiled faintly and refused.
Xiao Wu was a little surprised:
"Didn't you say before that you needed the Yearning Heartbroken Red? Why now...?"
Bibi Dong said lightly, "Before, I really wanted to use it to verify something, but now, I no longer need it. I believe you need it more than I do."
"Ah?"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu was a little confused.
What does this mean? Why, does she not need it now?
