My First "Date Outing" with Teacher!

Early the next morning, Ling Chang'an left home carrying a small bundle. Inside was the cake he had personally made for Bibi Dong. Besides that, he wore a Storage Soul Tool containing travel necessities and some... picnic utensils!

Ling Chang'an's father had spent a hefty sum to buy him that Storage Soul Tool. Even so, its capacity was not particularly large—just enough to be useful.

If one wanted to buy better Storage Soul Tools, it was more convenient to do so within Soul Master circles. Ling Chang'an's family had been ordinary people before; no matter how wealthy they were or how many connections they had, some channels were not so easily opened.

When he jogged over to the vicinity of the Papal Hall, Ling Chang'an spotted Bibi Dong standing there, and his eyes instantly lit up again!

Today, Bibi Dong wore a set of casual white clothes. For convenience, her hair was tied into a ponytail, making her look neat and graceful. Even those ordinary white clothes perfectly accentuated her tall, alluring figure, leaving Ling Chang'an staring blankly.

His teacher really could pull off any style with ease!

"Good morning, Teacher."

Seeing Ling Chang'an run over, drenched in sweat, Bibi Dong smiled fondly and rubbed his head. In an even tone, she said, "You don't need to be in such a hurry. I've postponed my work for the next two days. That's enough time to help you find a suitable soul ring."

"Thank you, Teacher. I made this cake for you. Would you like to try it?"

As Ling Chang'an spoke, he opened the bundle. An unbearably ugly little cake appeared before Bibi Dong, leaving her slightly stunned.

This thing... was a cake?

"Chang'an, you don't need to go out of your way to make things like this for me in the future. I appreciate the thought. Studying hard will be the greatest reward you can give your teacher."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong still reached out with her fair, slender fingers and picked up the cake. She smiled helplessly, then opened her small mouth and took a bite, giving Ling Chang'an some face.

But just as Bibi Dong was about to put the cake down, the taste buds on her tongue suddenly stirred. This thing was actually quite tasty!

With that thought, Bibi Dong simply took another small bite, then quickly yet elegantly finished the little cake and gave Ling Chang'an an approving look.

Leaving aside how gifted this disciple was, his devotion and skill alone were unmatched in Bibi Dong's eyes. She had truly taken in a good disciple this time.

Just then, Ling Chang'an suddenly said, "Teacher, there's still a little cake crumb at the corner of your mouth..."

Bibi Dong was instantly embarrassed. She immediately stuck out her small tongue and licked the corner of her mouth, then gave a light cough before saying to Ling Chang'an, "All right, Chang'an. Let's set off."

"Teacher, are we flying there?" Ling Chang'an asked in confusion. He still did not know where they would be hunting Soul Beasts.

Bibi Dong shook her head and pointed to an exquisite carriage not far away.

"This time, we're going to Tianhun Great Forest, a forest where Spirit Hall specially raises Soul Beasts. It's rather far away, so traveling by carriage is more convenient."

She was, after all, the Pope. Constantly flying around was indeed a little unbecoming. Besides, Tianhun Great Forest was truly quite far away, so flying was not worthwhile at all.

Bibi Dong beckoned toward the carriage, and the driver immediately urged it over. It was fast and steady, like a seasoned driver at the reins.

"The two horses pulling this carriage are both hundred-year Soul Beasts, so its speed and safety are guaranteed. Get in."

Bibi Dong briefly introduced it to Ling Chang'an, then boarded the carriage first. She even turned back and extended her hand to him, signaling for him to take it and climb up.

Though Ling Chang'an was practically soaring with joy inside, his expression remained calm. It was only holding a goddess's hand...

He swiftly placed his hand in Bibi Dong's and gripped it tightly, borrowing her strength to climb into the carriage.

However, because Bibi Dong was also outside the carriage as he climbed up, when Ling Chang'an got on, he was only a centimeter away from her. His eyes immediately landed on Bibi Dong's chest.

Mm, very full, very perky. At this distance, he could even smell Bibi Dong's faint fragrance. It was subtle and elegant, yet utterly intoxicating.

Bibi Dong knew nothing of Ling Chang'an's little thoughts. She had always regarded him as a child. Seeing that he had not released her hand, she said nothing and instead directly led him into the carriage.

Only then did Ling Chang'an have the chance to pull his gaze back. Feeling the goddess holding his hand, he thought, Mm, so smooth, so soft, so comfortable...

The interior of the carriage was also exquisitely decorated. The compartment was made of pearwood, and aside from the seats, there was an inlaid little table in the middle, making it look rather interesting.

Bibi Dong had Ling Chang'an sit beside her rather than across from her. However, once they were inside the compartment, she naturally released his hand, adjusted her clothes, and sat down.

Ling Chang'an dearly wanted to continue enjoying that closeness and sit pressed against Bibi Dong, but reason told him to take it slow. So he conscientiously kept a little distance from her.

After the two sat down, the carriage began moving. If Ling Chang'an had not stuck his head out the window to take a look, he would never have known that the carriage could travel so fast while remaining so steady.

The scenery outside flew backward, yet Ling Chang'an could not feel the carriage moving at all while seated inside. Not only that, the noise outside was blocked off by the compartment, making it incredibly comfortable within.

Sure enough, a seasoned driver handled a fine ride like a master.

For some reason, Ling Chang'an suddenly thought of something amusing. This carriage was so steady and had such excellent soundproofing—wouldn't it be thrilling to fool around inside while it rocked?

Mm, I definitely have to try that someday!

Thinking this, Ling Chang'an could not help looking at Bibi Dong again. He felt that he could stare at such a beauty for a lifetime and still not get enough of her. Especially with Bibi Dong's nearly perfect face and that air about her—it was simply unparalleled!

Bibi Dong noticed Ling Chang'an's gaze but did not find anything strange about it. Instead, she smiled at him and said:

"Accompanying you on this trip is also a chance for me to relax. There have been too many matters lately, and your teacher has been under a bit of pressure."

"All right, let's not talk about that for now. Let me give you a brief introduction to Tianhun Great Forest."

"Tianhun Great Forest is actually near the mountain range between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire. It could be called the largest forest on the continent for raising Soul Beasts. It contains countless varieties of Soul Beasts, including thousand-year Soul Beasts, so you will certainly be able to find a suitable first soul ring there."

Ling Chang'an suddenly said timidly, "Teacher, I want my first soul ring to be around nine hundred years old. Do you think that's possible?"
