Strangle Everything in the Cradle!

"Pfft..."

Bibi Dong froze for three seconds, then gave Li Chang'an's lower body a strange look and chuckled wickedly. It was not that she was being improper; his words were simply too funny.

"You're still so young, yet you already don't know how to behave." Bibi Dong lightly flicked Li Chang'an on the forehead in reprimand.

"Hmph, anyway, you can't not say yes!" Li Chang'an turned around, placing his face directly before Bibi Dong's chest, less than a centimeter away...

Mm, smells so good. Mm, so big...

Bibi Dong's face immediately reddened. She shifted back slightly, then waved a hand and brought Li Chang'an's clothes into her grasp.

"Put your clothes on first. Listen to me while you get dressed." Bibi Dong placed the clothes before Li Chang'an, tugged at the collar over her chest, shot him a glare, and then directly got out of bed to put on her shoes.

Seeing that Bibi Dong was not angry, Li Chang'an sighed in relief. Tonight had actually been a small test of his, and the results seemed fairly good.

First of all, Bibi Dong would not get angry over some of his excessive behavior. At most, she would only scold him on the surface. This showed that his persistence over the past two months in bringing her snacks, as well as the closeness they had developed during their trip, had been effective.

As long as it worked, that was enough. No matter what Bibi Dong's mindset was, it was enough that she was not truly angry.

After getting dressed, Li Chang'an did not get out of bed. Instead, he simply sat cross-legged on Bibi Dong's bed. Bibi Dong did not say anything when she saw this and allowed him to remain seated.

Bibi Dong adjusted herself slightly in her chair, finding a more comfortable position. Propping her chin on one hand, she said, "In a few days, Spirit Hall will begin selecting a Holy Son. At that time, all outstanding youths aged ten and under may take part in the selection."

"The selection process is simple: a competition. However, only three candidates for Holy Son will be chosen through it."

"Those three candidates will then have one year to prove themselves. The methods are fairly broad. For example, you could make a major contribution to Spirit Hall, or greatly increase your Soul Power within a year. A special review panel will evaluate you then."

"Originally, I did not intend to let you participate. Although all youths aged ten and under may take part, you have only just begun your training and could not compete with them."

"But today, after you advanced to two rings, things became different. Most of them are only at the two-ring level as well. In a head-on clash, many of them might not even be your match."

"As for what comes after becoming one of the three candidates, I have even more faith in your performance. Whether it is your cultivation speed or your mind, no one your age can compare to you. So after you condensed your Soul Core today, you have a ninety percent chance of obtaining the position of Holy Son!"

"Teacher, what benefits do I get after becoming the Holy Son?" Li Chang'an asked pragmatically. This was the key, all right? While becoming the Holy Son would give him plenty of chances to show off, he wanted more than that.

Bibi Dong was not surprised by his question. Given Li Chang'an's intelligence, it did not surprise her in the least that he would ask it.

"Whether it is the Holy Son or Holy Maiden, both are figures jointly recognized by Papal Hall and the Hall of Elders. Their status is extremely high. Take Liena, for example—her status is already very high."

"Beyond that, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden have the right to participate in every Spirit Hall meeting and voice their own ideas and plans. If they gain the approval of the majority, you may implement your own policies!"

"Furthermore, the Holy Son and Holy Maiden may mobilize most of Spirit Hall's resources and experts, including the Titled Douluo of the Hall of Elders!"

So many benefits!

Li Chang'an nodded inwardly. The treatment for a Holy Son looked quite good. Setting everything else aside, simply being able to participate in Spirit Hall affairs was essential to him.

If Spirit Hall wanted to successfully establish itself in the future—or, going a step further, unite Douluo Continent—then many things had to be prepared in advance. Such as researching Soul Tools and delving into the people's livelihood...

Li Chang'an did not consider himself a saint or a great man, but his birth had determined that he had to help Spirit Hall. Not to mention that many of his girls were on Spirit Hall's side.

"Alright, Teacher. I'll work hard to fight for it!" Li Chang'an nodded solemnly, making a man's promise!

"Just do your best. I expect you will face considerable resistance. After all, if both the Holy Maiden and Holy Son are on my side, the Hall of Elders will not be pleased. So be careful of the people they send."

Bibi Dong did not set any specific target for him. Compared with anything else, she hoped her disciple would remain safe and sound.

By the time he left Papal Hall, it was already evening. The moment Li Chang'an stepped outside, he saw a figure pacing back and forth as though waiting for someone.

"Junior Brother, you finally came out!" The moment the figure saw Li Chang'an emerge, she ran over at once, bringing a fragrant breeze with her. Who else could it be but Hu Liena?

Today, Hu Liena wore a pink outfit that accentuated her figure, paired with light blue ankle boots. Her hair fell casually over her shoulders, and her Charm remained as potent as ever!

"Senior Sister, what are you doing here so late?" Li Chang'an asked, pretending not to know.

When a woman was enthusiastic toward you and wanted to throw herself at you, you absolutely could not be too proactive. Otherwise, she would think you were cheap and not worth pursuing.

"I heard you were back, so I came to wait for you. Come on, Junior Brother, I'll take you to eat something delicious." Hu Liena took Li Chang'an's hand without giving him a chance to object and led him toward a nearby street, just like a caring older sister.

Actually, I'd quite like to eat you, but sadly, I'm not quite capable of that yet. Li Chang'an calculated inwardly. He had ignored Hu Liena for three or four days already. It was time to get a little closer to her appropriately.

"Sure, Senior Sister. Then I won't hold back."

"Order whatever you want. I'm telling you, this place is near our school, and the food is delicious." Hu Liena said with a smile.

For some reason, ever since last time, she had found Li Chang'an more handsome the more she looked at him. On top of that, he was kind and powerful, and Hu Liena could not help thinking about him.

She did not know whether this was love, but Hu Liena admitted that Li Chang'an had already become deeply etched in her mind. Subconsciously, she wanted to get closer to him.

"This place..." Looking at the restaurant, Li Chang'an could not help but sigh. This was the place he had always come to with Qian Renxue.

"Yes, what about it?" Hu Liena asked.

"It's not good. Let's pick another place, Senior Sister." Li Chang'an shook his head and rejected the restaurant.

How could he possibly bring Hu Liena to eat here again? If the owner saw them and casually said a few things, would he not be caught out?

A true Sea King had to strangle all potential trouble in the cradle!
