Sharing a Bed

Ye Kai, still pondering his future training plans, failed to notice that the stunningly beautiful Your Majesty the Pope had finished bathing and was gracefully walking toward him.

Clad in a light purple bathrobe, her damp brown hair hung loosely over her shoulders. Her cold, aloof features, elegant bearing, and bewitching beauty blended together perfectly. She was beauty beyond compare.

If Hu Liena, the Little Fox, was a promising future, then Your Majesty the Pope, now in her thirties, was at the height of her splendor.

What was more, Bibi Dong had the "special profession" of "Pope," which added even more to her charm. Though she was not wearing her exclusive attire, the unusual contrast instead created an extraordinary impact.

With a gentle push, she sent Ye Kai directly onto the bed, then followed him onto it. "If children don't go to sleep early, they won't grow taller, you know."

"Teacher, your hair isn't dry yet..." Before Ye Kai could finish, Bibi Dong's hair had already been dried by the burst of Soul Power.

Good heavens, Soul Power could be used like that? And she wasn't even a Fire attribute Soul Master.

"Alright, be good and sleep now~" Bibi Dong pulled Ye Kai into her arms, her other hand continuously patting his back.

Ever since her disciple had awakened his martial soul, he had carried a pleasant scent. Just taking a couple of breaths of it made her feel much more relaxed.

Ye Kai had just wanted to wriggle free when he suddenly felt a chill. He silently raised his head and found Bibi Dong giving him a death glare. "What, does Xiao Kai already dislike Teacher now?"

Though her words sounded pitiful and delicate, Teacher, your expression was really... filled with killing intent.

Knowing full well that he was repeatedly dancing on the edge of death, Ye Kai did not dare say another word. He merely moved the body he had just shifted away slightly back toward her. Since he could not resist, then he might as well **.

Bibi Dong looked at the "well-behaved" Ye Kai resting quietly against the bed and enjoyed this warm, peaceful moment.

Before dawn the next day, the biological clock Ye Kai had developed through years of precise routine woke him up exactly on time, even though he had been sleeping in Your Majesty the Pope's embrace.

He carefully slipped out of his beautiful teacher's arms. Countless past experiences told Ye Kai that Bibi Dong would wake up and pull him back the very next second, yet he never tired of doing this. Bibi Dong simply regarded it as one of her disciple's little ways of acting spoiled.

Yet for some reason, Bibi Dong did not wake up this time. After tucking her blanket in properly, Ye Kai turned and left the Pope's bedchamber. The Training Field instance had begun!

After arriving at the Training Field, Ye Kai considered his next training plan. First, I need to adapt to Five Gates. Once I can fight in the Five Gates state, it will be time to increase my physical training as well.

Then I also need to put Soul Power control training on the agenda. I already do not have much Soul Power to begin with. If I waste it, it will be even more useless than decoration. As for how to train control... I'll start with Tree Climbing and Water Treading. Chakra and Soul Power are both forms of energy, so their training methods should more or less both work.

Ye Kai felt somewhat excited. If Tree Climbing and Water Treading proved viable, it could be promoted throughout Spirit Hall and Spirit Academy.

Combined with using Healing Soul Masters to assist in absorbing high-age soul rings, it might even raise Spirit Hall's overall combat strength by thirty percent in the future.

Then, the only things standing in the way of unifying the continent would be interference from the God Realm and the lack of administrative personnel sufficient to support a nation. That matter could be discussed later.

Forget it, forget it. It was still too early to think about such things. He should train first.

"Fifth Gate, Gate of Closure, open!"

Violent Soul Power erupted forth, yet Ye Kai noticed that after opening Five Gates today, he did not have bulging veins all over his body like last time.

"Boom boom boom boom..." Explosions rang out, and Ye Kai's figure vanished from the Training Field once more.

Ye Kai found himself gradually becoming familiar with the Five Gates state. Not only could he control the output of power in Five Gates, but even the pain had lessened somewhat.

It was probably because he had kept Five Gates open for an entire afternoon yesterday. As his meridians continuously healed, they had become tougher. Ye Kai even felt that he could open Six Gates right now and try out Morning Peacock.

Ye Kai suddenly realized that he could use Five Gates to train his physique. Yesterday, in only one afternoon, he had strengthened his meridians to this extent. If he kept Five Gates open regularly, would he not soon be able to maintain Five Gates without injury, eventually making Five Gates his normal state?

No sooner thought than done. Enduring the discomfort throughout his body, Ye Kai began sprinting through the Training Field. He would start by running twenty kilometers to finish Morning Exercise.

When Bibi Dong woke up and found no one in her arms, she instinctively reached to the side, intending to pull Ye Kai back, only to grasp empty air.

"Strange. How did I not sense Xiao Kai leaving?" For a Titled Douluo, it was extremely strange for the person sleeping beside her to leave without her noticing.

However, remembering last night, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a smile. It had been a long time since she had slept so soundly.

"Someone."

The Maid waiting outside pushed open the door and entered. "What are Your Majesty's orders?"

"Did Xiao Kai have breakfast before going to train?" Bibi Dong asked.

She knew her own disciple well. At this time of day, there was nowhere else he could be except the Training Field.

"His Highness Ye Kai had breakfast before leaving. He also prepared breakfast for Your Majesty," the Maid replied.

"Then bring it to me."

The Maid accepted the order and left. Before long, she returned carrying a silver tray with a cover over it.

After lifting the cover, Bibi Dong saw a glass of milk, an egg, and a sandwich on the tray. There was also a note beside them. "Teacher, I'm going to train first. Remember to have breakfast after you get up, okay? (＾Ｕ＾)ノ~ＹＯ"

"This little fellow really is diligent." Bibi Dong did not know why Ye Kai trained so hard, but it was always a good thing for a genius disciple to enjoy training.

It would be even better if this disciple did not keep messing around and injuring himself all over.

Still, why had Xiao Kai not grown taller? Should she give him something nourishing to eat?

While Bibi Dong was worrying over Ye Kai's height, Ye Kai had already finished Morning Exercise and returned to Pope's Hall.

"Oh? Xiao Kai is back?" Sensing Ye Kai enter Pope's Hall, Bibi Dong rose to her feet and changed into a purple-gold Pope's robe. Noble and elegant majesty burst forth from her. At this moment, Bibi Dong had shed some of her laziness and gained a little more authority.

"Teacher."

"Why did you return so early today?" Bibi Dong asked Ye Kai.

"Today's Morning Exercise is finished. I'm preparing to go to the Library," Ye Kai replied.

"Go ahead. Oh, and don't use that domain of yours on Teacher for now," Bibi Dong said with a serious expression.

She still did not possess the power needed to avenge herself, so she still needed the Rakshasa God for the time being. She also feared that the Rakshasa God's power might affect Ye Kai. Moreover, given Ye Kai's current cultivation, the domain's purification effect was practically nonexistent. It was better not to let the Rakshasa God learn of this ability of Ye Kai's.

"This... yes, I understand." Seeing the implication in Bibi Dong's eyes, Ye Kai understood what she meant. Then he would take it slowly in the future.
