Sister, We're Still Growing

After less than half a day.

The group left Spirit Hall and prepared to head toward Spirit City.

At the same time, Little White gained an Ultimate Lackey—Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

One had to know!

Chrysanthemum Douluo was an elder of the Elder Hall, Spirit Hall's highest authority. He oversaw Spirit Hall's punishments and was one of its key pillars.

Furthermore, he and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei were both Pope Bibi Dong's staunch supporters. Aside from several other elders hidden within the Elder Hall, external affairs were generally decided by Bibi Dong and the two of them.

And yet...

The moment he confirmed that this theory had come from the force behind Lin Ning and Lin An, such an important figure had abandoned Spirit Hall without hesitation.

And this was despite Little White explicitly telling Yue Guan that he would absolutely not be given an important position.

Originally!

Little White had not wanted this little brother either.

To be honest, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's martial soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, was truly tempting.

Last time, Little White had nearly gotten to eat that Immortal Herb, and he still found it regrettable.

But!

Considering that the two little ancestors would surely be traveling through human society for a long time, Little White had no choice but to accept Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan.

There was no helping it!

As a Soul Beast, Little White could not easily show himself in many situations.

Douluo Continent was no longer that distant era when Soul Beasts ruled.

Nowadays, most Soul Beasts above the Hundred Thousand Year level hid away in one place, afraid that powerful humans would hunt them.

After all...

Much less Little White, a terrifying Soul Beast with twin Soul Cores and cultivation nearing a million years.

If Little White's true identity were discovered, it would surely stir up a bloody storm across Douluo Continent targeting him.

Little White himself was not afraid. It was merely the survival of the fittest.

He was only worried about the safety of the two Young Masters, because...

A Soul Douluo was still far too weak!

Before true experts, a Soul Douluo was no different from the lowest-ranked Spirit Master.

Even if the two Young Masters were extraordinarily gifted and could fight a Titled Douluo with their fused soul skill.

That was still far too dangerous.

Little White would not allow these two children, whom he had watched grow up, to be harmed because of him.

In that case, he could simply have a human Titled Douluo protect them openly.

In exchange, Little White could offer Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan some guidance and rapidly improve his strength.

At the same time, Little White did not need Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan to leave Spirit Hall on his own.

By the way, Little White also told Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan that their Mistress had not been taken away by Spirit Hall, lest the fellow get the wrong idea.

Otherwise?

Accidentally provoking a force like Spirit Hall would be quite troublesome for their group.

After learning that this force bore no grudge against Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo finally relaxed somewhat.

What a joke!

Others might not understand Spirit Hall.

But how could Chrysanthemum Douluo, an elder in charge of punishments, not know?

To put it bluntly!

If Spirit Hall could bare its fangs without restraint, then the Upper Three Sects would be nothing but a joke!

That was right!

This was Spirit Hall!

Especially in recent years, under the leadership of the esteemed Pope Bibi Dong, Spirit Hall's power had continued to grow.

Moreover, ever since Bibi Dong took over as Pope, she had launched a bloody reform within Spirit Hall itself.

She forced many rotten mid-level and lower-level officials, even high-ranking officials, to step down.

Those who refused were directly crushed to death.

During that time, Chrysanthemum Douluo had served as Bibi Dong's executioner.

After the reforms, several new institutions were even established within Spirit Hall to make up for flaws in the old rules.

At the same time, the purged Spirit Hall had been completely renewed.

Not only had its number of experts not decreased, it had even attracted quite a few independent Titled Douluo to join.

Although...

Over the years, Chrysanthemum Douluo had always been curious about many of Bibi Dong's strange yet useful ideas.

For example, a republic?

She actually wanted to integrate the several empires on the continent and form the Spirit Federation.

She even said that their sights could not remain limited to Douluo Continent and had to be set higher.

In Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, those bizarre notions were sheer fantasy.

Yet under Bibi Dong's terrifying ability to carry out her plans, they were progressing in an orderly fashion.

By now, even Chrysanthemum Douluo himself could not estimate how many Titled Douluo Spirit Hall had internally.

No!

It should be said: how many Titled Douluo were under Bibi Dong's command!

Most of those Titled Douluo had not joined because of Spirit Hall, but because of Bibi Dong's plans and personal charm.

For that very reason, Chrysanthemum Douluo was naturally extremely wary of Bibi Dong.

But!

Before the temptation of advancing even further, Chrysanthemum Douluo still suppressed that wariness.

Fortunately, this force bore no grudge against Spirit Hall, so Chrysanthemum Douluo could serve as Lin Ning and Lin An's nanny with a clear conscience.

At this moment, the group slowly made their way toward Spirit City.

To reach Spirit City as quickly as possible, they needed to cross the Soul Hunting Forest, pass through Hurricane Canyon, and finally arrive at the Tatak Kingdom.

At this moment, they were walking through the Soul Hunting Forest.

The group was in no hurry...

After all, they were taking Lin Ning and Lin An to find their Mother. Their excuse was that Spirit City had the most complete Spirit Master Roster on Douluo Continent, and as long as their mother was a Spirit Master, they would definitely be able to find her.

Besides, the local Spirit Hall had failed to find their Mother, but Spirit City was the headquarters of all Spirit Halls. Even if they could not find her there, they would at least find some clues.

After learning this, Lin Ning and Lin An eagerly agreed to the plan.

They had never really gone outside before, so they were more than happy to wander around a little longer.

However...

Only a few steps into the Soul Hunting Forest, Lin An immediately pulled a long face and looked at his Sister beside him.

"Sister, I'm hungry..."

At those words, Lin Ning's stomach growled right on cue.

Lin Ning's little face instantly reddened.

She subconsciously looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo and Hu Liena beside her.

"Grandpa Yue, Sister Hu, I'm hungry."

Seeing the two adorable children frowning, Hu Liena's heart ached. She hurriedly crouched down and said with a smile.

"Mhm, Sister brought lots of food. Tell Sister what you want to eat!"

Before Lin Ning could speak, Lin An, standing beside her, immediately jumped up, waved his hand, and shouted.

"I want to eat Golden Sculpture!! Roasted chicken wings are so delicious!!"

The moment he said that, the smile on Hu Liena's face froze.

A Golden Sculpture, a Ten Thousand Year Cultivation Spirit Beast!

It was only harder to deal with than the Mystic Gold Vicious Wolf from before.

Hu Liena smiled awkwardly, then took out the snacks she had specially bought and held them out before Lin Ning and Lin An.

"Uh, how about some biscuits?"

Looking at the biscuits in Hu Liena's hand, which seemed quite tasty, Lin Ning pouted and shook her head.

"Sister, my brother and I are still growing. Father said Soul Power Cuisine is best for us."
