Bibi Dong's Conditions

Su Cheng returned to the Council Hall alone.

Bibi Dong remained motionless, glanced at him with a cold expression, and said indifferently, "Have you appeased your sister?"

Su Cheng sensed the displeasure in her tone and quickly explained, "My sister doesn't usually talk to people much; she's introverted. Please don't mind her personality. Actually, she respects you very much and admires the Spirit Hall."

"I'm not blind. I can tell what she's thinking," Bibi Dong said coldly.

Hearing her blunt remarks, Su Cheng didn't know how to respond and could only give an awkward smile.

However, since Bibi Dong has said this directly, she probably doesn't really care about Su Yue's impolite attitude, so that's fine.

"Your older sister is indeed quite talented, even more so than you." Bibi Dong tapped her fingers on the armrest of the table and chair as she spoke, scrutinizing Su Cheng.

"She's only a year older than you, right? Although your Soul Power Level are similar, her strength far surpasses yours. Just those extra ten- Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring are enough to crush you."

"Yes, my sister is much more talented than me."

Su Cheng nodded frankly.

This was exactly the effect he hoped to achieve.

The evil aura emanating from the Black Dragon Martial Soul was enough to attract Bibi Dong's attention and evoke some emotional resonance, making it easier for her to communicate.

If possible, it would be best to use your ability to suppress Evil Thought as leverage to negotiate terms with the other party.

After all, Su Cheng was unaware of Bibi Dong's true situation before this, and he did not expect her mental state to be so stable.

However, Su Cheng never intended to overshadow the main character.

Showcasing Su Yue's talent and value is the most important thing.

Otherwise, given his skills and strength, let alone five Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings, even if he faked six or seven 100,000 Year Spirit Rings, it would be a piece of cake.

But there's no need for that.

The person who will stay in the Spirit Hall is Su Yue.

Given the potential Su Yue just demonstrated, what does it matter if she has a bad personality or is arrogant?

If a person has outstanding talent, they will not have to worry about not gaining the appreciation and recognition of others.

Those gentle smiles and flattering words are nothing more than the helpless compromises of mediocre people to the world; true geniuses never need such fancy tricks.

Their very existence is enough to make them priceless treasures that countless people flock to.

"Su Cheng, do you know why I left you alone?" At this moment, Bibi Dong suddenly stopped Su Yue and steered the conversation back to Su Cheng.

"Is it because of my Martial Soul?"

"That's right." She nodded. "To be honest, I'm not comfortable leaving you alone in the Spirit Hall."

"..."

Su Cheng remained silent for a moment.

Hearing that he had become the destabilizing factor, he felt a little amused and exasperated.

Bibi Dong's condition is more stable than expected, and the situation is becoming a little troublesome.

But it doesn't matter, he didn't plan to stay here for too long anyway.

"Su Cheng, I don't really care what your sister's true thoughts are, how she views me, or how she views the Spirit Hall. None of that matters. Her talent is indeed good, but I've seen plenty of geniuses. Even her extraordinary Soul Ring Configuration is nothing in my eyes."

Su Cheng believed her when she said those words.

When it comes to Soul Ring Configuration, almost no one can compare to Bibi Dong, who possesses Twin Martial Souls.

However, Bibi Dong's next words surprised Su Cheng: "I actually prefer you to your sister."

Su Cheng: "..."

Sister, are you being this direct now?

I'm just a kid who's not even fifteen years old!

Seeing the bewildered look on his face, Bibi Dong frowned subconsciously. "What are you thinking?"

"I'm still six months away from turning fifteen..." Su Cheng stammered.

It's not a problem for him to make a little sacrifice for Su Yue's growth.

But such a thing that damages one's dignity is obviously unacceptable; the sacrifice would be far too great.

Moreover, if Bibi Dong retains the memories from this Simulation once she returns to reality, wouldn't she be incredibly embarrassed?

"..."

Bibi Dong was taken aback when she heard this, seemingly not understanding what this had to do with her age.

After a moment, she turned around, a flush of what she couldn't tell was shame or anger, and snapped, "What nonsense are you thinking! I'm asking you, are you willing to become my disciple!"

"Oh, okay." Su Cheng breathed a sigh of relief and quickly shook his head in refusal, "I don't want to."

"Why? Don't you admire the Spirit Hall a lot?" Bibi Dong's voice was a little lower.

"I am not worthy to be your disciple," Su Cheng said, bowing his head.

That was, of course, his excuse.

The real reason is that he doesn't want to get too close to the other person, at least not for the time being.

It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature.

Even if Bibi Dong's mental state stabilizes, many deep-seated aspects of her personality will remain unchanged; she has an excessively strong desire for control.

If he were to acknowledge her as his teacher, although it would make obtaining resources much easier and pave the way for Su Yue, it could easily affect his future plans.

In addition, his Martial Soul is inherently arousing suspicion, so leaving Spirit City at that time might become very troublesome, requiring him to come up with many reasons to persuade the other party, which would be a loss rather than a gain.

"Whether you're a good match or not is not something you need to consider." Bibi Dong was clearly not buying it, staring intently at him. "I think you're capable, and that's enough."

"..."

"What do you have to hesitate about?"

Seeing Su Cheng remain silent, Bibi Dong frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said indifferently, "Very well, come and take a look at my Martial Soul."

Before Su Cheng could respond, the enormous Death Spider Emperor appeared behind her in an instant.

The ugly, bloated giant spider stood in stark contrast to her unparalleled beauty.

Nine magnificent Soul Ring swirled around her feet, especially the crimson Ninth Soul Ring, which was particularly dazzling.

"How about it? Does it feel familiar? My Martial Soul is called Death Spider Emperor, and it is also an extremely evil existence. As long as you are willing to become my disciple, I can teach you to control and guide your negative desires. At that time, the Evil Thought in your Martial Soul will no longer affect you in the slightest."

"..." Su Cheng's eyes twitched slightly twice.

Are you awake?

Teaching me to control my desires? That's going against the natural order, isn't it?

And don't you even realize whether you managed to suppress your Evil Thought on your own?

Noticing his "surprised" expression, Bibi Dong felt much happier.

He immediately withdrew his Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul and said softly, "Su Cheng, I value you highly, so I can tell you another secret."

"Your His Holiness the Pope, this is unnecessary..."

Su Cheng tried in vain to dissuade him.

He had no desire to hear any secrets.

It's obvious that the other party is about to reveal her Second Martial Soul.

In terms of characteristics, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor is far more evil and is extremely compatible with the Rakshasa Godhood.

In fact, the Black Dragon Martial Soul that Su Cheng Simulation was more like the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's aura after being corrupted by the Rakshasa Divine Power God Power.

Unfortunately, Bibi Dong showed no intention of paying attention to his verbal resistance.

"Actually, besides the Death Spider Emperor, I have another Martial Soul, a Second Martial Soul that is more powerful and more evil."

As the slightly sinister voice fell, the dark green Soul Devouring Spider Emperor appeared behind her.

Compared to the ugly and bloated Death Spider Emperor, the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor was much more ferocious and menacing, with a slender and sharp body that possessed a strange beauty of sharpness and cruelty.

This Martial Soul is not complete; it only has seven Soul Rings in total.

However, the Soul Ring Configuration was extremely terrifying, with six pitch-black Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring and one scarlet 100,000 Year Spirit Ring. The aura was far more evil than before, and the eerie green light enveloped the entire Council Hall.

Bathed in a ghastly green light, Bibi Dong, seated at the head of the table, resembled a demon king on a divine throne, while Su Cheng, standing in the center of the hall, was a pitiful creature bound in a spiderweb, about to be devoured at any moment.

"Your His Holiness the Pope, what is this...?"

Su Cheng opened his mouth, then hesitated and stammered.

That's it, there's absolutely no other choice now.

If he doesn't become an apprentice, he'll probably only be able to become a wanted criminal.

Bibi Dong gazed at him, her tone softening, "Su Cheng, I understand your pain and confusion. You won't regret becoming my disciple. Our Martial Soul souls are very similar, so don't underestimate yourself. No one is more suitable to be your teacher than me, and you are fully worthy to be my disciple."

As she spoke, her voice gradually turned cold. "But if you insist on refusing, then I will have no choice but to imprison you in the Pope's Palace. Don't blame me, because our Martial Soul souls are extremely similar, I understand very well what the consequences might be if you are allowed to develop like this. You might even become a scourge to this continent."

Bibi Dong's voice grew increasingly low, "Your cultivation level is still low, so you can barely suppress the Evil Thought in your heart. But once you advance to Soul Saint and possess the Martial Soul Avatar, you will find that the influence of the Martial Soul on Soul Master is deep-rooted in the marrow and soul. Your will will be utterly vulnerable in the face of such powerful Evil Thought."

"..."

Su Cheng clicked his tongue, feeling that Bibi Dong's words were somewhat untrue.

When did this woman become so concerned about the safety of the world?

If that were the case, I wouldn't have chosen this method at all, appearing before her with this kind of Martial Soul talent and walking right into her trap.

Su Cheng acknowledged that she was capable, ambitious, driven by desires, and deeply obsessed.

But if you say she has the world in her heart, takes it as her duty to protect all living beings, and resolutely cracks down on Evil Spirit Master she can recruit, then Su Cheng would only find it laughable.

Standing in the center of the hall, Su Cheng lowered his head, silently pondering what choice he should make.

If he leaves the Spirit Hall directly, Bibi Dong certainly can't stop him, and no one can stop him, including Qian Daoliu, who can use the power of the Spirit City domain.

But the cost of doing so is far too high.

The fate line in this Simulation is so powerful that rashly triggering such a huge change here would be fine if it helped the future, but the problem is that such a change is meaningless and will only cause the situation to spiral out of control.

And most importantly, he cannot expose Su Yue's special nature.

With his True Power, Su Cheng was confident he could evade the detection of the Divine Realm, but Su Yue was different; she was a ticking time bomb and a key target of attention.

But if he were to actually acknowledge Bibi Dong as his teacher...

"Tap, tap, tap..."

The crisp sound of footsteps grew louder as they approached, accompanied by a faint fragrance.

The stunningly beautiful Pope, who had been sitting regally in a high-backed chair, had somehow retracted her martial Martial Soul and slowly walked to his side.

Compared to Su Cheng, who was not fully developed, Bibi Dong was even taller.

She raised her arm and gently stroked the boy's short black hair, her eyes radiating maternal warmth.

"My child, I know your anxiety and I know you have had painful experiences. I have had a similar past. Believe me, I can help you overcome these."

"..."

Feeling the warmth from his fingertips, Su Cheng looked up at the beauty beside him.

In those beautiful, peach-petal-shaped eyes, there shimmered a gentle light that she had never seen before, even in the real world.

Su Cheng sighed inwardly, and finally could only nod in humiliation, "I understand... Teacher."

"Good boy."

"Heh, so you've accepted that Rakshasa God's successor as your teacher? Didn't you previously plan for me to join the Spirit Hall myself?"

Inside the Spirit Hall Library, Su Yue looked at Su Cheng stood calmly beside her, with a mocking expression.

"Yes, that's how it is for now."

"I bet she only accepted this teacher because she's pretty. She looks old enough to be your mother."

"You're old enough to be my great-grandmother."

"My dear grandson, call me 'Grandma'."

"Go read your books! If it weren't for you, would I have an extra teacher for no reason?" Su Cheng said irritably, throwing a stack of books in front of her.

Su Yue Shen turned cold, and she slammed her hand on the stack of books with a "smack," growling, "What do I need?!"

This outburst startled Su Cheng, who looked at her with a puzzled expression. "Why are you so angry? Isn't this just a temporary measure?"

"She is a descendant of the Rakshasa God! I'd rather you take me away from here!"

"Alright, alright, I should fight them and then take you away. Then the Rakshasa God will notice that something is wrong with us, and the Divine Realm will discover your existence. Then the Divine Realm will capture you and bring you back to reunite with the other half of the Dragon God's avatar."

"Su Cheng, you bastard, you traitor!"

"Fine, you can stay here and read by yourself. Do you think I want to be someone else's apprentice? You're heartless."

After saying that, Su Cheng left the Library Pavilion without looking back, leaving Su Yue standing there stunned.
