An "Accident" with Hu Liena

That evening, in the Papal Palace, Teacher Jun bowed to Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall.

"How did it go, Jun Yun? How strong is Xiao Yu now?"

Bibi Dong sat upon the throne in the Papal Palace, her breathtakingly beautiful face filled with authority. Holding the Papal Scepter that symbolized Spirit Hall's supreme power, she radiated a formidable aura.

"Reporting to His Holiness the Pope, based on my tests, Xiao Yu's current strength has reached that of an ordinary Soul Emperor. Moreover, his third soul skill is extremely unusual. It seems capable of rendering Spiritual Power attacks ineffective," Jun Yun said.

"Mm, I understand. From now on, you no longer need to teach in Spirit Hall's advanced class.

I will send someone to help you obtain your eighth soul ring. After that, you will go to the Spirit Hall Branch Hall. Someone will inform you of the specific arrangements.

I will later send someone to take over your position. You will have fewer opportunities to show yourself in the future. You know the reason, so I will not explain it," Bibi Dong said.

"I understand. Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope!" Jun Yun understood what His Holiness meant. On one hand, it was a reward for her contributions, raising both her status and strength.

On the other hand, it was likely to protect Long Yu.

However, so many people had witnessed that battle. Why had His Holiness specifically arranged for her to leave the advanced class?

"Your subordinate takes her leave," Jun Yun said respectfully.

"Mm," Bibi Dong replied.

Jun Yun had only guessed part of it. More importantly...

Bibi Dong wanted to separate Jun Yun and Long Yu, weakening the connection and feelings between them.

Xiao Yu's future achievements would undoubtedly be extraordinary. The gap between him and Jun Yun would only grow wider, and she did not want Xiao Yu's feelings for Jun Yun to become too deep.

The more one cared about, the more weaknesses one had.

If someone exploited that in the future, it would likely become trouble for Xiao Yu.

"Xiao Yu, I hope you will not blame me.

But as the future Pope, you cannot have too many weaknesses," Bibi Dong murmured as she watched Jun Yun leave.

Those words determined the future of Spirit Hall, and even the future of the entire Douluo Continent.

"Senior Sister, I'm fine now. You don't need to keep staring at me like this. You can go cultivate on your own," Long Yu said as he lay on his bed.

Of course, given Hu Liena's talent and status, no one would dare say anything even if she did not attend the advanced class.

For some reason, his senior sister had been staring at him ever since they returned. Long Yu felt rather uncomfortable.

"Junior Brother, you're really amazing now!" Hu Liena said, propping up her lovely cheeks with both hands.

She could now say with absolute "confidence" that she truly could not defeat her little junior brother anymore.

She had removed the words "it seems" from that confidence...

At first, this fact had indeed made Hu Liena somewhat upset. Before Long Yu appeared, her talent could be said to be the strongest among Spirit Hall's younger generation, enough for the Pope to accept her as a disciple.

But Long Yu's arrival had redefined Hu Liena's understanding of what a genius was. What was a true genius? Her little junior brother was one.

That sense of disparity had initially left Hu Liena deeply disappointed, but then she thought again. Huh.

What was she upset about? Would it not be better if her future "man" was stronger?

Once she thought of that, Hu Liena had no problem with it at all. In fact, she even felt a little eager.

Long Yu: Senior Sister, could you please act normal? I'm a tiny bit scared.

Seeing the expectant look on Hu Liena's face, Long Yu changed the subject. "Senior Sister, although you are a soul master inclined toward Spiritual Power, I think you should still learn some other things, such as my movement technique, Phoenix Dance Six Illusions," Long Yu said.

This was actually a very serious matter. Long Yu would not speak carelessly.

Hu Liena's charm ability was indeed extremely powerful, but her attack methods were too limited. While her physical condition was not bad, it was only decent.

If she encountered a soul master who could specifically counter her charm ability, Hu Liena's situation would become extremely dangerous.

Although Long Yu was level 32 and Hu Liena was level 42, when it came to physical condition and strength, Long Yu could leave Hu Liena far behind.

"Is that so? Junior Brother, you're so good to me. But your senior sister is a little slow, so I'll need your close personal guidance," Hu Liena said meaningfully.

"Slow?" Long Yu shook his head. Was she joking? If his senior sister were really slow, would his teacher have accepted her as a disciple?

Close personal guidance? Senior Sister, I'm really a little scared of you now.

"Fine. I'll speak with Teacher tomorrow. Otherwise, Senior Sister's strength is still just a tiny, tiny bit lacking," Long Yu said without changing expression.

"You little brat, don't forget that you barely have any Soul Power right now. Let's see how I, Hu Liena, deal with you!"

Hu Liena's cheeks puffed up in anger, and just like before, she began playfully fighting with Long Yu.

A moment later, Hu Liena was pinned to the bed by Long Yu, unable to move.

"Sigh, Senior Sister, look at you. Your close combat skills are far too weak, yet you said you were going to deal with me." Long Yu shook his head.

The two had just sparred without using Soul Power, and the outcome was obvious. Hu Liena had been utterly crushed by Long Yu.

Although Bibi Dong had specifically trained Hu Liena in close combat, soul masters on Douluo Continent relied too heavily on martial souls and soul skills. They barely touched other areas, or perhaps simply looked down on them.

It seemed teaching his senior sister his movement technique was imperative. Sigh, such a worrying senior sister.

This little junior brother truly worried himself sick over her.

Just as Long Yu was still thinking about how to teach her, Hu Liena noticed that his mind had drifted.

My chance has come. I have to seize it.

Then Long Yu's body suddenly sank. To both Hu Liena's and Long Yu's astonishment, Long Yu happened to kiss Hu Liena's fiery red lips.

Even more terrifyingly, for some reason, Long Yu actually used his tongue to pry at Hu Liena's pearly teeth.

Their eyes met. Long Yu looked at his incredibly alluring senior sister's face before him.

Hu Liena's skin was truly excellent, fair, tender, and smooth without the slightest flaw. Beyond the charm in her narrow eyes, there seemed to be a trace of delight.

Hu Liena directly wrapped her arms around Long Yu's waist, and with a pull, their bodies pressed tightly together.

What am I doing? A trace of cunning flashed through Hu Liena's eyes. That unknown rival—today, Hu Liena declared that she was eliminated.

Deliberately releasing her charm ability, she made the air and atmosphere in the room turn warm and intimate, intensifying the rising hormones between them.

Then Hu Liena pressed her advantage. Her lips met his, and the two began kissing passionately.

The two of them seemed somewhat dazed.

Suddenly, Long Yu felt a chill against his chest. That was...

The necklace Xue'er had given him!

What am I doing?! Long Yu abruptly came to his senses.

He immediately got up and said in a fluster, "I'm sorry, Senior Sister." Then he fled the room.

Watching Long Yu's departing figure, Hu Liena sighed. She had been so proactive, yet she had still lost.

Who exactly was that woman? Why did her little junior brother love her so much?

What did Hu Liena lack compared to her?

Hu Liena stared at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking.

Although she had not completely succeeded, today had still been a major step forward in their relationship. Hu Liena believed that even if she could not compare to that woman's place in Xiao Yu's heart right now, she would definitely have the last laugh.

Her little junior brother would definitely belong to Hu Liena! Long Yu ran to the small pavilion outside. As he watched the small lake alone, his feelings were complicated.

What had he just been doing? Could he face Xue'er, who was far away in the imperial city of the Heaven Dou Empire? For a moment, Long Yu did not know how he should face his senior sister in the future. In truth, he could tell that his senior sister liked him, but he could not convince himself to two-time someone.

Moreover, given Xue'er's proud personality, Long Yu felt that she would certainly never accept Hu Liena.

If he had to choose one person, the answer was beyond doubt.

But did he truly have no feelings for Hu Liena at all? Long Yu could not say. After all, during his time in Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was the person he had spent the most time with, and their relationship was extremely close.

They bickered and played around together, and without realizing it, feelings had indeed gradually formed between them.

It was simply that Long Yu either did not realize it or deliberately refused to think in that direction. But the more one wanted to avoid matters of the heart, the harder they were to escape.

Long Yu thought about many things. Before he knew it, he had fallen asleep in the small pavilion.

By midnight, Hu Liena still had not seen Long Yu return. Feeling that something was wrong, she quickly dressed and ran out to find him.

"Junior Brother! Junior Brother! Where are you?" Hu Liena shouted loudly. But it was already deep into the night, with little light, and Hu Liena had no skills like eye techniques.

In her panic, Hu Liena actually failed to think of the small pavilion.

"Stop looking, Nana. Xiao Yu is sleeping in the small pavilion right now." Hu Liena heard a familiar voice and sensed a familiar presence.

She immediately turned and hugged the person behind her.

"Tea... Teacher, what should I do?" Hu Liena asked tremblingly as she held Bibi Dong.

"Sigh, Nana, just let nature take its course. I can tell that Xiao Yu does have feelings for you.

It is simply that the other person carries too much weight in his heart, making him afraid to face the feelings between you," Bibi Dong said gently, stroking her disciple's beautiful hair.

"Mm, Teacher, do you know who that person is? Why is Little Junior Brother so good to her?" Realizing that she had been somewhat improper, Hu Liena hurriedly released her teacher.

"She... sigh, it is not a good time to tell you. You will meet sooner or later. Don't worry, Teacher will support the two of you." Thinking of Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong's feelings were complicated.

She had not expected that, after such a short time, Xiao Xue and Xiao Yu's feelings would have grown so deep.

Bibi Dong suddenly regretted tacitly allowing Qian Renxue to enter the Genius Camp. Now, it had made her own disciple so upset.

But Xiao Xue was also her daughter, and she could not obstruct her happiness either. She could only let things remain as they were.

That night, all three of them had complicated thoughts and worries of their own.

If nothing unexpected happens, there will be one update per day from now on, with each chapter exceeding 3,000 words.

Please be understanding. After all, the author is still in university and does not have much time.

Also, this book has relatively few bookmarks and has not yet reached two thousand. It needs time to build them up so there can be more subscriptions after it goes premium.

Sorry, everyone.
