Caught Bibi Dong's Attention

Twelve Moon Season.

Feng Hao had chosen this name because the ore was found growing alongside Twelve Moon Season.

The flower he had crafted also resembled a rose, so he had named it accordingly.

It was a type of hidden weapon from the Compendium of Hidden Weapons and could take the form of any kind of flower.

It mainly made use of the metal's properties. Once shaped, even if it flew far away, it could still be retrieved.

A small amount of Soul Power was needed to use and retrieve it.

At all other times, the hidden weapon could be left to attack on its own.

This hidden weapon had an extremely high lower limit, but its upper limit was not high.

Its lower limit was practically its upper limit.

Because it did not rely on Soul Power, even if a Titled Douluo used it, it could only harm Soul Masters below the Soul Douluo level.

The petals of Twelve Moon Season were merely a distraction.

The truly dangerous things were those red specks.

Those red specks were a special toxin that had accumulated over millions of years within the metal known as Golden Leaf.

Even if a Spirit Saint had those red specks enter their body,

they would become weak and limp in a very short time, and their Soul Power would gradually dissipate afterward.

As Feng Hao put the item away, Porcupinefish Douluo walked over and asked, "Feng Hao, isn't this weapon too terrifying? Anyone below the Soul Douluo level would fall for it with a single moment of carelessness. As long as it was the first time you used it against someone, no one would be able to anticipate its method of attack."

"That's right, but unfortunately, Twelve Moon Season can't use one's own Soul Power to make it more destructive," Feng Hao said with a sigh.

"Brother Hao, this is exactly what you need right now," Qian Renxue said.

She did not believe that Feng Hao could currently stand against a Spirit Saint.

Although his Martial Soul and soul rings were both incredibly extraordinary, the gap in levels was still far too great.

Now that he had this, Feng Hao's safety had gained tremendous protection.

"Mm! It's quite useful for now." Feng Hao intended to keep it for himself as well.

Qian Renxue would usually have a Titled Douluo protecting her, so there was naturally no need for him to give her a hidden weapon that was rather useless to her.

"Brother Hao, not only are you gifted in cultivation and skilled in battle, but your ability to forge weapons is probably comparable to those Divine Craftsmen," Qian Renxue praised.

"I only do it for fun. I can't compare with those Divine Craftsmen who have immersed themselves in weapon forging their entire lives."

Feng Hao was not being modest. In many finer details, he certainly could not compare to those people.

Although his techniques were more ingenious and he could forge many hidden weapons,

he did not practice every day. When it came to tempering techniques, it was difficult for him to compare with them.

Still, he could catch up in that regard. It was merely a matter of time.

After forging Twelve Moon Season, Feng Hao stayed at the Crown Prince's Estate for another two days.

Only then did he reluctantly depart.

When he left, not only did Qian Renxue come to see him off, but the Crown Princess came as well.

After all, Qian Renxue was posing as the Crown Prince. People in this era married early to begin with, and this was even more so within the Royal Family.

Thus, the Royal Family had Xue Qinghe choose a so-called Crown Princess.

In truth, this Crown Princess was a subordinate Qian Renxue had arranged from Spirit Hall.

She could also be considered one of Qian Renxue's attendants.

This attendant knew that Qian Renxue and Feng Hao had been inseparable these past few days.

They even seemed to be together at night. She understood that Feng Hao might one day move into Spirit Hall.

That was why she had come to see him off as well.

After leaving the Crown Prince's Estate, Feng Hao prepared to leave Heaven Dou City and head for Nuoding City.

But after walking only a short distance, he felt that someone was watching him.

He turned around, yet he could not see anyone.

An expert.

An extremely powerful expert.

"I wonder which esteemed person this might be. Why not show yourself?"

"You truly are a remarkable young hero, sir, to actually sense my presence."

A shrill, duck-like voice sounded out. Feng Hao looked to his left and saw a figure flash before him in an instant.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo?" Feng Hao was stunned when he saw the man. He had not expected Chrysanthemum Douluo to come so soon.

Chrysanthemum Douluo coming to find him meant that Bibi Dong had set her sights on him.

He just did not know whether that was a good thing or a bad thing.

"You know me?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was taken aback. He had not expected Feng Hao to recognize him at a glance.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo is one of the Pope's favored men, renowned far and wide. How could I not know you?" Feng Hao flattered him.

His words pleased Chrysanthemum Douluo greatly. He spoke plainly, "I won't beat around the bush with you. I came this time under the Pope's orders to deliver something to you."

After saying this, Chrysanthemum Douluo tossed a small box directly at Feng Hao.

Feng Hao caught it and felt that there seemed to be something rather heavy inside.

He opened the box and saw a token lying within.

Staring at the token, he froze where he stood.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, what does the Pope mean by this?"

"Isn't there a letter inside? Read it yourself, and you'll understand," Chrysanthemum Douluo said.

Feng Hao picked up the token. Sure enough, a letter was pressed beneath it.

He opened the letter and quickly read through it.

After reading it, Feng Hao frowned.

The contents of the letter were simple: it was asking him to make a choice.

Seeing his troubled expression, Chrysanthemum Douluo added, "Young sir, you should consider carefully before making your decision. Otherwise, not only will you place yourself in danger, but you will also break the Young Master's heart."

"I accept His Holiness the Pope's offer, but I have no time to go to the Papal Palace right now. I hope you will forgive me," Feng Hao said through gritted teeth.

"No matter. There will be plenty of time in the future. Since you have agreed to His Holiness the Pope, we will all be one of our own from now on." Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes as he spoke.

"Chrysanthemum Douluo, then I'll take my leave." Feng Hao clasped his fists.

"Mm." Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded, and then he vanished as well.

Feng Hao picked up the token and muttered, "An Elder Token. How interesting. Does this mean I've become Spirit Hall's youngest elder? Yu Xiaogang said before that I was a member of Spirit Hall. He really was quite the prophet."

The contents of the letter were very simple.

Bibi Dong did not object to Feng Hao and Qian Renxue being in love with each other.

However, Bibi Dong did not want Feng Hao to become Spirit Hall's enemy.

Therefore, he had to become one of Spirit Hall's people.

Although Snake Lance Douluo and the others were responsible for protecting Qian Renxue, they would certainly report everything they encountered to Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong knew of Feng Hao's talent, so she had given him such generous treatment.

She had directly given him an Elder Token identical to Yu Xiaogang's.

Feng Hao was not a stubbornly principled person. He had no desire to oppose Spirit Hall at this time.

Moreover, this Elder Token would certainly bring him many benefits.

After leaving Heaven Dou City, he arrived outside the city at an uninhabited place.

He directly summoned the Taiji Diagram Martial Soul and activated his first soul skill.

The Golden Bridge appeared, connecting to the Heavenly Dao. He stepped onto the Golden Bridge and vanished from the spot in an instant.

At the same time, somewhere within Heaven Dou City,

Chrysanthemum Douluo stood atop a roof and muttered, "His aura disappeared? I can't sense it at all. That method is truly strange."

Thanks to Mars Script Boss for the generous support.
