The next day, after seeing Qian Renxue off, Jin Lingfeng turned around and smiled at Qian Daoliu and his grandfather, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Grandpa Qian, Grandpa, Xue'er has gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring. I want to return and enter seclusion to cultivate properly."
Golden Crocodile Douluo patted his shoulder and smiled with satisfaction.
"Feng'er, you only awakened two supreme Martial Souls yesterday and possess level 100 Innate Pseudo-Soul Power."
"To remain humble and focused on cultivation despite that is truly rare. Grandpa is proud of you."
Qian Daoliu patted Jin Lingfeng's shoulder from the other side and smiled kindly.
"Feng'er, you are now Xue'er's fiancé. The future of Spirit Hall will depend on you."
"But you must also remember to rest. Don't exhaust yourself or make yourself suffer, or I'll be heartbroken..."
However, before he could finish, Golden Crocodile Douluo, who stood beside him with a disdainful look, cut him off.
"Daoliu, listen to yourself. You make it sound like you're Feng'er's grandfather."
Qian Daoliu laughed heartily and looked at Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Golden Crocodile, you're being too petty. I simply find myself growing fonder of Feng'er and wanted to show some concern."
Golden Crocodile Douluo looked at Qian Daoliu with a half-smile.
"Tch, old man, don't make it sound so nice. You only fancy Feng'er's unmatched talent!"
"Golden Crocodile, will you die if you say one less word...?"
Qian Daoliu blew his beard and glared, his expression turning somewhat ugly as he began bickering with Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Jin Lingfeng smiled wryly at the sight. The two men before him were both over a hundred years old, yet they were arguing like two old children. The scene was truly rather comical.
However, Jin Lingfeng understood that although Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo currently seemed as incompatible as fire and water, it was merely because neither would yield to the other in private. They had been friends for decades. Should Spirit Hall ever face a powerful enemy, they would undoubtedly stand united and fight side by side...
After staying there a little longer, Jin Lingfeng headed toward his residence, Yiheyuan.
Now that he had awakened the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul and the Primal Chaos Pearl Martial Soul, along with possessing level 100 Innate Pseudo-Soul Power, he could hardly wait to begin cultivating. Otherwise, by the time Qian Renxue returned from the Star Dou Great Forest after obtaining her soul ring, he might no longer be her match.
However, the instant Jin Lingfeng stepped into Yiheyuan, two figures appeared before him without warning.
One of them wore golden armor and high heels, carrying a somewhat effeminate aura.
The other wore black robes, had a lean frame, and emanated a cold aura.
They were the two elders of the Elder Hall: Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, both level 95 Titled Douluo.
Jin Lingfeng's gaze narrowed slightly. This was within the territory of the Worship Hall, yet these two elders of the Elder Hall, subordinates of Pope Bibi Dong, actually dared to appear here.
He bowed slightly and spoke.
"Greetings, Elder Ju. Greetings, Elder Gui."
"May I ask why the two elders have come to see me?"
After appearing, Gui Mei kept looking Jin Lingfeng up and down, shock filling his eyes. So this was the youth who had awakened two Martial Souls even more powerful than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul yesterday and possessed level 100 Innate Pseudo-Soul Power. In the entire history of Douluo Continent, he could be called the greatest genius of all time!
Yue Guan covered half his face and laughed coquettishly.
"Jin Lingfeng, there's no need to be nervous."
"We came today under the Pope's orders to invite you to the Papal Palace."
"Of course, the Pope obtained Great Priest's consent for this matter long ago."
Jin Lingfeng understood and did not doubt it. If this had not been Bibi Dong's order, and if Bibi Dong had not obtained Qian Daoliu's consent beforehand, these two could never have appeared here.
Thus, he nodded with a smile. Led by Yue Guan and Gui Mei, he flew into the air and headed toward the Papal Palace...
Elsewhere, on the top floor of the Worship Hall.
Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo watched the scene. They both knew why Bibi Dong wanted to see Jin Lingfeng, and they also hoped that Jin Lingfeng could help reconcile the relationship between the Papal Palace and the Worship Hall. After all, internal discord within Spirit Hall would only weaken its own strength...
Within the Papal Palace, upon the Papal Throne above.
A beautiful woman sat upright, holding the Azure Spirit Scepter.
Her long, flawless left leg was crossed over her right, giving her an alluring posture.
An imposing aura of authority rushed toward anyone who approached. Her gaze was exceptionally sharp, making others afraid to meet her eyes directly.
This woman was none other than the current Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong!
Yet upon that peerlessly beautiful face was an icy coldness. Her expression was merciless and indifferent, as though she had endured torment as dreadful as hell and had long since despaired of everything in this world...
The next moment, the great doors of the Papal Palace slowly opened.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei did not enter, instead remaining at the entrance. A youth dressed in fitted black clothing walked in, and only then did the doors shut heavily once more.
"Greetings, Your Holiness!"
An immense pressure enveloped Jin Lingfeng, forcing him to lower his head deeply. Inwardly, he marveled at how terrifying Bibi Dong's imposing presence was.
At this moment, the beauty above remained half-reclined upon the Papal Throne. In a commanding, unquestionable tone, she ordered,
"Jin Lingfeng, raise your head and let me have a good look at you..."
For a moment, her magnetic and velvety voice, carrying the majesty of a queen, rang out.
Jin Lingfeng felt his ears itch, as though they might get pregnant. Merely hearing Bibi Dong's first sentence left him utterly captivated.
Although Qian Renxue also had a domineering personality, compared to a woman as mature and alluring as Bibi Dong, she still seemed somewhat immature. The two simply could not be compared.
Jin Lingfeng, Jin Lingfeng, Bibi Dong is Xue'er's mother. What the hell are you thinking? You can't be so lacking in conscience!
Jin Lingfeng cursed himself inwardly, hurriedly took a deep breath to ease his tension, then slowly raised his head.
At once, what entered his sight was a peerlessly beautiful woman seated on the Papal Throne, dressed in noble papal robes and holding the Azure Spirit Scepter.
Her perfect features, snow-white neck, slender legs, and perky, shapely buttocks wrapped in the fitted papal robes all embodied temptation.
She appeared extremely young. With her exquisite features and careful adornment, she looked more like a teenage girl. Yet her full, swelling chest and those long, sexy legs with graceful curves, wrapped in flesh-colored stockings and clad in silver high heels, displayed the unique charm of a mature woman.
Every part of this woman was perfect to the utmost degree. She was simply an unrivaled beauty, a peerless enchantress, and coupled with her intense queenly majesty, lofty status, and authority over all things, she was enough to make every man in the world fall for her.
Yet a layer of chilling coldness covered her beautiful face, while deep within her sharp pupils lay countless pains unknown to others...
Jin Lingfeng met Bibi Dong's piercing gaze, feeling a little pity as he thought,
Bibi Dong, as Xue'er's mother, you truly are a pitiful woman.
But don't worry. In the future, I will definitely help you emerge from your pain. Together with Xue'er, I'll be filial to you, care for you, and let you become a happy woman.
While Jin Lingfeng observed Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong was also observing him. She had not expected this child, only six years old, to be capable of facing her gaze without fear.
Bibi Dong's red lips parted, revealing an exceptionally enchanting smile that greatly softened the icy aura around her. She slowly said,
"Jin Lingfeng, you have now awakened two Martial Souls even stronger than the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and you possess level 100 Innate Pseudo-Soul Power. Your future potential is limitless."
"I have discussed this with Great Priest Qian Daoliu. We intend to make you the Holy Son. Are you willing?"
