Jin Lingfeng was not surprised. He bowed slightly and said,
"Jin Lingfeng is naturally willing. Thank you, Your Holiness, and Great Priest, for your favor."
"In the future, I will cultivate diligently and serve Your Holiness and Spirit Hall!"
A trace of surprise appeared in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes. Ever since this young man had entered the Papal Palace, the calmness and steadiness he displayed had left even her astonished.
"Very good. In three days, I will hold your investiture ceremony as the Holy Son."
"I will announce your identity as the Holy Son to the world. However, your Martial Souls must be kept strictly secret and must not be revealed."
Bibi Dong's ambitions were immense, and the announcement of Jin Lingfeng's identity was the signal she was sending to the outside world that she had begun plotting for the entire Douluo Continent.
"Understood, Your Holiness. Jin Lingfeng will remember this!"
Jin Lingfeng called out again. He did not care about the title of Holy Son, but with this status, he would be able to come to the Papal Palace and see Bibi Dong openly in the future...
At that moment, a faint glint flashed through Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes as she said,
"Jin Lingfeng, release your two Martial Souls and let me see them."
"Yes, Your Holiness!"
The next moment, Jin Lingfeng adjusted his breathing. An incomparably evil aura flowed from his body and instantly filled the entire Papal Palace, making the surrounding atmosphere oppressive and frigid.
Then, a massive Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile, several meters tall and hideously terrifying, appeared behind Jin Lingfeng.
The Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile raised its head toward the heavens, confronting the sky itself. Tyrannical and evil, it seemed ready to devour heaven and earth, like an unparalleled fiend!
The instant the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile appeared, Bibi Dong rose from the papal throne instinctively. Gripping the Azure Spirit Scepter, she stared intently at the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile behind Jin Lingfeng. Her expression was filled with excitement and exhilaration, because both of her evil spider Martial Souls had actually submitted to the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul!
The feeling was like subjects meeting their king, willingly bowing their heads in submission!
One could well imagine that the quality of the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul surpassed Bibi Dong's own Martial Souls by countless times!
If she could cultivate while Jin Lingfeng released his Martial Soul and absorb even a little of the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile's evil aura, her cultivation speed would surely increase tremendously!
Bibi Dong forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart. Her red lips curved into a joyful smile as she looked at Jin Lingfeng below as though gazing upon a priceless treasure, then said in a deep voice,
"Jin Lingfeng, both your Martial Souls and mine are of the evil type."
"Would you be willing to cultivate with me in the future and practice dual cultivation with me?"
Bibi Dong's somewhat excited words left Jin Lingfeng slightly stunned.
"Gasp..."
I've already decided to pursue Xue'er. If I practice dual cultivation with Bibi Dong later, wouldn't that be disastrous?
If Xue'er finds out, won't she kill me?
Besides, Bibi Dong is a full twenty years older than me. How could I possibly have such thoughts about her? This absolutely won't do!
Jin Lingfeng wrestled with his thoughts, but when he raised his head and saw the confusion in Bibi Dong's eyes, he realized that Douluo Continent might not have any cultivation technique involving the harmony of yin and yang. He had misunderstood what Bibi Dong meant...
"Your Holiness, Jin Lingfeng is naturally willing."
"However... Xue'er seems to dislike you rather strongly, Your Holiness, so it would be best to keep this matter secret."
Jin Lingfeng looked into the beautiful woman's eyes above him and spoke in a serious tone.
The moment he mentioned Qian Renxue, the smile on Bibi Dong's red lips vanished. A deep loneliness surfaced in her beautiful eyes as she sighed and said,
"Jin Lingfeng, rest assured. The matter of you assisting my cultivation will remain known only to the two of us."
As a transmigrator, Jin Lingfeng understood that Bibi Dong's coldness toward Qian Renxue stemmed entirely from her hatred of Qian Xunji. Deep down, she still cared greatly for her daughter Qian Renxue. It was simply that, as the Pope, her strong personality prevented her from showing it.
Just then, Bibi Dong looked down at the young man below and asked,
"Jin Lingfeng, do you like Xue'er?"
Jin Lingfeng nodded and said seriously,
"That's right, Your Holiness. I do like Xue'er."
"But please rest assured, Your Holiness. In the future, I will definitely find a way to reconcile you and Xue'er..."
Before he could finish, Bibi Dong interrupted him softly,
"Jin Lingfeng, I am indeed surprised that you have such intentions."
"However, my relationship with Xue'er is extremely complicated. She will never forgive me for the rest of her life."
"From childhood to now, I have never given her the care she deserved. In the future, you must take good care of her in my stead."
"The fifteenth of next month, under the full moon, will be Xue'er's seventh birthday. If you give her some surprises then, I believe her favor toward you will definitely increase."
She knew about what had happened between Jin Lingfeng and Qian Renxue yesterday and understood that her daughter had fallen for this young man. She herself had once missed love because she had not been decisive enough, and Bibi Dong did not want such a tragedy to happen to her daughter again...
Jin Lingfeng had not expected Bibi Dong to say such things. It seemed she had acknowledged him and approved of him being with Qian Renxue. That was good news indeed.
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Holiness. On Xue'er's birthday next month, I will definitely keep her company properly."
"By the way, Your Holiness, will you appear that day?"
Jin Lingfeng looked into Bibi Dong's eyes and asked with a hint of anticipation.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong's willow brows furrowed. Anger surfaced in her eyes for an instant before she restrained it. She shook her head and sighed.
"Xue'er does not wish to see me. I should not go."
"With you accompanying her then, Xue'er should be very happy. That is enough."
"Jin Lingfeng, release your second Martial Soul."
After saying that, the chill in Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes vanished and was once again replaced by intense excitement.
Yesterday, she had sensed a gentle, sacred God-tier Martial Soul aura appearing in the Worship Hall. In that single instant, her divine awareness, affected by the Rakshasa inheritance, had briefly become extraordinarily clear. Thus, her expectations for Jin Lingfeng's second Martial Soul were even greater.
"Understood, Your Holiness!"
Jin Lingfeng temporarily set aside the thought of having Bibi Dong accompany Qian Renxue on her birthday. He withdrew the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul and began condensing the Primal Chaos Pearl Martial Soul.
The Primal Chaos Pearl Martial Soul was a God-tier Martial Soul, its quality even stronger than the Sky Swallowing Demonic Crocodile Martial Soul. Yesterday, the moment it appeared, it had suppressed the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul until it collapsed. Its power was self-evident.
Suddenly, the evil aura enveloping the entire Papal Palace disappeared. In an instant, it was replaced by a sacred and gentle aura that seemed capable of purifying all things. Then, above Jin Lingfeng's head, a palm-sized jade pearl formed, entirely blue and crystal clear!
The next moment, the curve of Bibi Dong's red lips deepened further. At the same time, beneath the holy light of the Primal Chaos Pearl, the curse power of the Rakshasa God within her body began to be faintly suppressed...
For a time, Bibi Dong gazed at the young man below as though he were a priceless treasure. She had never expected his God-tier Martial Soul to possess such a miraculous effect, capable of suppressing the Rakshasa God's curse power within her and purifying her divine awareness!
Soon afterward, Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo outside the Papal Palace had matters to report. Though Bibi Dong was displeased, she could only let Jin Lingfeng leave for the time being, instructing him that she would go to him that evening to practice dual cultivation with him...
Late at night, a little past one in the morning.
Jin Lingfeng lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
During the day, when he released the Primal Chaos Pearl Martial Soul in the Papal Palace, he had clearly sensed an extremely evil aura within Bibi Dong's body, one that was no weaker than Qian Daoliu.
"It seems the aura of my Primal Chaos Bead can effectively suppress the Rakshasa God's power within Bibi Dong."
Jin Lingfeng muttered to himself. The next moment, a breathtakingly beautiful woman appeared in the room, holding the Azure Spirit Scepter and dressed in noble papal robes.
Her red lips parted in a smile as she said,
"Jin Lingfeng, come to my room and assist my cultivation..."
