Reuniting with Bibi Dong

"Your His Holiness the Pope, Young Master Yuan is already waiting outside!"

Papal Hall, a heavily armored Temple Knight knelt on one knee, reporting Lu Yuan's return.

"Oh? Let him in." Upon hearing the news of Lu Yuan's return, Bibi Dong's noble and dignified face revealed a subtle smile as she spoke.

"Yes, Your His Holiness the Pope!"

With the announcement of the Temple Knight, Lu Yuan and Zhu Zhuqing entered the Papal Hall together.

Looking at Bibi Dong sitting on the Pope throne, Lu Yuan felt a slight unease.

It's been over two years since I last saw her, and she's still as stunning as ever. Time seems to have left no trace on her.

On the contrary, due to the aging process, it has gained a mature and unique aroma, like aged wine, which becomes more flavorful the longer it is stored in the cellar.

Bibi Dong still looks like a young girl, but she exudes a mature charm. Her pink eyes seem to speak volumes, making her incredibly charming and evoking a sense of pity in people.

Combined with her queen-like aura of superiority, her blend of gentleness and strength, these two qualities are perfectly integrated in Bibi Dong, making her an irresistible temptation for men.

Lu Yuan had to admit that Bibi Dong was truly a rare beauty.

I suppose Xue'er's beauty is inherited from her teacher; otherwise, Qian Xunji probably wouldn't have been able to give birth to such a celestial being as Xue'er.

Beside Bibi Dong were two gatekeepers, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Wherever Bibi Dong went, these two followed her, being her two number one lackeys.

"Teacher!" Looking at Bibi Dong above, Lu Yuan bowed slightly.

"Greetings, Your His Holiness the Pope!" Zhu Zhuqing, standing beside Lu Yuan, also turned slightly to the side and bowed.

Normally, members of the Spirit Hall would kneel when they meet the Pope, but Lu Yuan didn't have that habit and would kneel at the drop of a hat, so he simply bowed instead.

Moreover, given Lu Yuan's status, there was no need for him to kneel.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she naturally did whatever Lu Yuan did.

"You've finally decided to come back?" Looking at her disciple below, who had matured considerably, Bibi Dong's heart stirred slightly. This young man in front of her was her most beloved disciple.

In her heart, Lu Yuan's status was even higher than Hu Liena's.

Good-looking, talented, hardworking, sentimental, and respectful of his teachers, Lu Yuan was practically a flawless perfection in Bibi Dong's eyes. If there was anything Bibi Dong had to criticize, it was that he was a bit of a womanizer.

Not only did he take advantage of her daughter and apprentice, but he also became involved with other girls, juggling three relationships at once.

However, Bibi Dong didn't want to worry about so much. As long as Nana and Xue'er had no objections, she, as their teacher and mother, naturally had no objections either. As long as the younger generation was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Hehe!" Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Lu Yuan couldn't help but chuckle and said, "I've been away for a long time and I really missed you, Teacher, so I made some progress in my training and rushed back without stopping!"

"Really?" Bibi Dong asked with a half-smile after hearing Lu Yuan's words.

"Of course!" Lu Yuan said.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face blossomed into a beautiful smile, and her imposing aura vanished by most, replaced by gentleness and peace. "You miss this old woman? I think you miss your senior sister!"

"Senior sister, I miss you, but I miss you just as much, teacher. And teacher, you're not an old woman at all. You're still young. You look no different from those young girls. On the contrary, you have a mature and intellectual air about you. You are truly stunning and have unparalleled beauty. You are much more attractive than them."

Lu Yuan said in a very serious tone.

"Hehe!" Bibi Dong chuckled, glancing at Lu Yuan with her beautiful eyes, and said, "You're just good at saying nice things to please me. That's how you tricked your senior sisters, wasn't it? You're so glib and never serious."

"Uh!" Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was stunned and didn't know what to say. The charm of Bibi Dong's glance really made him speechless.

"Is the girl next to you Zhu Zhuqing?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Yes." Upon hearing Bibi Dong's words, Lu Yuan immediately understood and replied.

Bibi Dong stared intently at Zhu Zhuqing with her beautiful eyes. Her domineering and imposing aura made Zhu Zhuqing's heart leap into her throat, and her delicate body trembled slightly.

Noticing Zhu Zhuqing's unusual behavior, Lu Yuan immediately grabbed Zhu Zhuqing small hand and held it in his palm.

Feeling the warmth from her hand, Zhu Zhuqing felt a sense of security and gradually calmed down.

Seeing Lu Yuan holding Zhu Zhuqing's hand, a trace of sadness flashed across Bibi Dong's eyes, as if she had remembered something.

Zhu Zhuqing had her disciple to rely on, but she had no one to rely on. With her frail body as a woman, she shouldered all the hardships alone.

The person she loved couldn't offer her any protection; on the contrary, she had to protect him. A complex emotion flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.

However, Bibi Dong is Bibi Dong after all. The sadness in her eyes flashed by, and she looked at Zhu Zhuqing and Lu Yuan standing together with approval in her eyes.

Zhu Zhuqing, at the age of twelve, already possessed Soul Power of level thirty-seven. Her Martial Soul was the Super Spirit Nine Lives Heavenly Cat. Moreover, she was not bad-looking, had a simple and aloof personality, and most importantly, seemed to have a very good relationship with her disciple, making her a good match.

As for the marriage contract with the Star Luo Imperial Family, what does that matter? It's just a piece of paper; it can be dissolved easily.

"She's a nice girl, and she's good enough for you!" Bibi Dong said calmly, withdrawing her gaze.

"Thank you for your kindness, teacher!" Lu Yuan quickly expressed his gratitude. Hearing Bibi Dong's words, he knew that his relationship with Zhu Zhuqing was now secure.

Even if Bibi Dong disagrees, he will still not give up on Zhu Zhuqing. However, if Bibi Dong agrees, he will naturally be even happier, because no matter what, Bibi Dong is one of the few people he cares about, and her opinion is still very important.

Now that Bibi Dong has agreed, everyone is naturally happy.

Thinking of this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but smile.

Seeing her disciple, who always appeared so ordinary, showing such a surprised smile, Bibi Dong was also taken aback. It seemed that this kid really loved this girl named Zhu Zhuqing.

Thinking it over, Bibi Dong said, "Now that you're back, go back and see your senior sister. These past two years, your senior sister has been missing you so much that she's almost fallen ill with lovesickness. To be honest, if you hadn't come back, I would have sent someone to kidnap you and bring you back."
