I Think It Suits Me Quite Well

Half an hour later, the two of them were finally full. Bibi Dong leaned against a large tree with a smile on her face. She even stuck out her cute tongue and licked the meat crumbs from the corner of her lips.

Seeing Bibi Dong's cherry-red little mouth and nimble tongue, Li Chang'an could not help feeling his body heat up. Such a lovely mouth... if it wrapped around my treasure, that would feel absolutely incredible...

"Chang'an, what are you smiling about?"

When Bibi Dong looked at Li Chang'an, she happened to catch him staring at her with a silly grin and could not help feeling puzzled. Of course, she could never have imagined that within Li Chang'an's six-year-old body dwelled a mature soul, one filled with many interesting thoughts.

Hearing Bibi Dong's voice, Li Chang'an finally composed himself and casually asked, "Teacher, you said you came here to clear your mind this time. Could you tell me what trouble you've run into?"

After sharing roasted meat with Bibi Dong, Li Chang'an could clearly feel that the distance between himself and the goddess had grown closer. He simply asked her outright, wanting to see whether he could help his teacher.

After all, she would be his greatest support for the next few years, and she was also the wife he had already picked out in his heart for the future. A Sea King needed to think far ahead!

Bibi Dong brushed back her beautiful hair and smiled helplessly. Although she did not think Li Chang'an could be of much help, since the subject had come up, she did not intend to avoid it.

"The problem on my side is mainly my conflict with the Hall of Elders. Ever since I inherited the position of Pope, I have been pushing a series of reforms, striving to bring Spirit Hall to new heights. But my reform proposals have continually been rejected by the Hall of Elders, leaving me unable to make progress in many matters within Spirit Hall..."

What Bibi Dong explained was fairly simple and easy to understand, all so Li Chang'an could follow along better. This time, Li Chang'an did not let his mind wander and listened attentively throughout.

If Bibi Dong had been in his previous life, she would have been an unquestionable powerhouse of a businesswoman. She had both the means and the ambition, and she had always been committed to leading Spirit Hall higher and farther.

Meanwhile, the Hall of Elders led by Qian Daoliu disapproved of Bibi Dong's series of reforms. They believed that Spirit Hall was already invincible on the continent, and Bibi Dong's ideas were completely different from their methods. They simply did not support her reforms.

After hearing her out, Li Chang'an closed his eyes and began to think. There had been many examples of clashes between old and new forces during reform in his previous life, and many ways to resolve them. He was merely considering the most effective one.

When Bibi Dong saw Li Chang'an close his eyes, she assumed he wanted to rest and did not disturb him further. Having voiced these thoughts today, she already felt much better. As for a solution, even she could not think of one for the moment, much less Li Chang'an, who was only a child.

Just as Bibi Dong was about to close her eyes and rest as well, Li Chang'an suddenly opened his. His gaze shone with wisdom as he looked at Bibi Dong, and he spoke in an unusually serious tone.

"Teacher, I actually have a way to resolve your current predicament. You can cultivate one group of people, win over another group, and then oppose a third group."

"Cultivate one group, win over one group, oppose one group? Chang'an, tell me more."

Bibi Dong had originally intended to listen casually, but Li Chang'an's words immediately perked her up. Her beautiful eyes remained fixed on him.

"Ahem, Teacher, wherever there are people, there are conflicts. By cultivating one group, I mean you need to find a way to place some of your own people in the Hall of Elders. As for winning over one group, that means winning over the neutral elders. You do not need them to support you; you only need them to remain neutral. That way, you will have far fewer enemies left..."

"Ding, you showed off before Bibi Dong. Points +22..."

When Bibi Dong first heard Li Chang'an's explanation, she had been skeptical. Then she was astonished, and finally, it was as though the clouds had parted to reveal the moon!

She had never considered this approach to solving the problem. Moreover, Li Chang'an's words had opened the door to a new world for her, allowing her to see a different method of resolving issues.

For example, when dealing with the sect problem, she could win over some, keep some neutral, and isolate others...

At that thought, the way Bibi Dong looked at Li Chang'an gained a different flavor. Her gaze held sixty percent admiration, thirty percent curiosity, and ten percent surprise. She was becoming more and more interested in this disciple...

After Li Chang'an finished speaking at length, Bibi Dong had already fully digested his words. She walked straight over to him, reached out, and affectionately rubbed his little head before softly saying, "Thank you..."

Li Chang'an could clearly sense that the pressure on Bibi Dong seemed to have eased considerably. Her entire body relaxed along with it, which caught him somewhat off guard.

Just as Li Chang'an was inwardly congratulating himself, he suddenly sensed a fierce gust of wind rushing toward him, and he was its target!

Just as Li Chang'an was about to react, he suddenly felt someone scoop him up around the waist. He was pressed against a fragrant, soft body, and his heart immediately felt at ease.

Then Bibi Dong's ethereal yet commanding voice rang out.

"Get lost!"

As soon as Bibi Dong spoke, the approaching presence instantly vanished without a trace, as though it had never appeared at all.

Only then did Bibi Dong set Li Chang'an back on the ground and apologize to him.

"Chang'an, I'm sorry. Your teacher was thinking about something just now and forgot to release my pressure. That Soul Beast took the chance to charge over. Are you alright?"

Li Chang'an shook his head. Other than feeling a little heated inside, I'm basically fine.

Only then was Bibi Dong relieved. She then led Li Chang'an to look at the Soul Beast lying amid the bushes not far away.

The Soul Beast was lying on the ground, its breathing already extremely weak. It seemed unlikely to live much longer.

It was a tiger-type Soul Beast, but it looked sturdier than an ordinary tiger. Its fur was snow-white, and even more surprisingly, its eyes were sapphire blue, making it exceptionally beautiful.

"This is an Azureblue Tiger that is nearly a thousand years old. Its Beast King Bloodline is relatively pure, so it can be considered a national treasure Soul Beast of the Tianhun Great Forest. Otherwise, I would have killed it outright just now!"

Bibi Dong explained from the side. Her reaction speed was terrifying. The instant she saved Li Chang'an, she had already recognized the origins of the attacking Soul Beast, which was why she held back. Otherwise, this Soul Beast would already be dead.

Every forest had its king, and the Azureblue Tiger was the king of the Tianhun Great Forest. Although its cultivation was only barely a thousand years, relying on its kingly bloodline and its own strength, it could still hold its own against many thousand-year Soul Beasts.

"Teacher, to be honest, I think this Azureblue Tiger suits me quite well..."

It was not because of Li Chang'an himself; rather, the system had happened to issue a prompt when this Azureblue Tiger appeared, which was why he dared to give it a try.

"No. This Azureblue Tiger is comparable to an ordinary two- or three-thousand-year Soul Beast, and its bloodline is exceptionally domineering. I refuse!"
