The next day, Zhao Zilong and Hu Liena arrived at the Papal Palace.
"Teacher, you want us to go to Moonlight Pavilion to learn etiquette?" Zhao Zilong was somewhat surprised by Bibi Dong's words. In the original story, Hu Liena had not gone to Moonlight Pavilion to study etiquette after obtaining Divine Slaughter's Domain.
"That's right. Killing Intent is like an inner demon. Right now, you still can't completely control the Killing Intent within your bodies." Sitting upon the papal throne, Bibi Dong explained, "Learning etiquette is merely meant to have you overcome the Killing Intent through your own willpower. Medicine will only serve as assistance."
Zhao Zilong was still somewhat worried. "But, Teacher, you know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Heaven Dou Empire and I have already..."
"Rest assured. Since I'm having you and Nana go to Moonlight Pavilion together to study court etiquette, you naturally needn't worry about such matters. Every day, I'll have Bishop Salas send someone to escort you there and back, and I'll also dispatch Titled Douluo to protect you."
"Titled Douluo?" Zhao Zilong was somewhat startled, while also feeling emotional. Having Bibi Dong as his teacher truly gave him an overwhelming sense of security! She casually sent Titled Douluo to protect him.
Bibi Dong looked at Zhao Zilong. "All right, Zilong. Go back and pack first. Someone will take you to Heaven Dou City shortly. As for Nana, I'll first take her to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain a soul ring."
"Yes." Zhao Zilong turned and left.
Soon after, Zhao Zilong returned to his room.
Seeing that the door to his room was open, Zhao Zilong frowned slightly. He walked inside and quickly spotted a seductive, alluring woman reclining on his sofa. Her long legs, clad in black stockings, looked exceptionally sexy.
"Elder Flame Eagle?" Zhao Zilong looked at the woman lying on the sofa. She was none other than Spirit Hall's elder, Flame Eagle Douluo.
"Hehehe, long time no see, little one..." Flame Eagle Douluo coquettishly threw Zhao Zilong a flirtatious glance, then sat up and gestured for him to come sit beside her.
Zhao Zilong frowned slightly. He was not particularly familiar with Flame Eagle Douluo. On the way to the City of Slaughter, they had run into each other a few times, and she had teased him on several occasions.
From Hu Liena, Zhao Zilong had learned that Flame Eagle Douluo was already in her sixties and possessed rank 92 Soul Power.
Zhao Zilong asked, "Elder Flame Eagle, did Teacher send you?"
"I heard from Your Excellency the Pope that you're going to Moonlight Pavilion to study etiquette. I had nothing better to do anyway, so I decided to accompany you." Flame Eagle Douluo gave Zhao Zilong another flirtatious look and said seductively, "Why are you hiding so far away? Are you afraid big sister will eat you? Come here."
As she spoke, Flame Eagle Douluo rose directly to her feet, grabbed Zhao Zilong's hand, and pulled him over to sit beside her on the sofa.
Zhao Zilong felt a little awkward as he touched Flame Eagle Douluo's smooth, slender jade hand. It was hard to imagine that this was the hand of a woman in her sixties.
But it made sense. Once one's Soul Power reached the level of a Titled Douluo, living two or three hundred years was no problem. Naturally, their youth would last much longer as well.
Seeing Elder Flame Eagle linking arms with him like this, Zhao Zilong awkwardly said, "Um, Elder Flame Eagle, isn't this inappropriate?"
"Hehehe, what's inappropriate about it, little one?" Flame Eagle Douluo leaned seductively toward Zhao Zilong's ear and whispered, "Don't call big sister Elder anymore. My name is Yue Yao. You can call me Sister Yue Yao or Sister Yao Yao. And one more thing, little one—big sister has liked you for a long time."
As she spoke, Flame Eagle Douluo's fiery red lips landed directly on Zhao Zilong's cheek.
"What..." Zhao Zilong froze upon hearing that. He had learned from Hu Liena that Flame Eagle Douluo was an extremely promiscuous woman. Had she set her sights on him? Sure enough, being too handsome came with this kind of trouble.
Yue Yao gave a seductive smile. Seeing Zhao Zilong dazed by her words, she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the lips, her fragrant tongue slipping inside with practiced ease.
Her technique was exceedingly skilled. Moreover, her seductiveness differed from Hu Liena's—Hu Liena was alluring on the outside but pure within, while Yue Yao was seductive to her very bones, inside and out.
Zhao Zilong immediately pushed Yue Yao away. "Wait, no, this won't do. Besides, I already have Nana and Huo Wu."
Although Yue Yao looked no older than a girl in her twenties, she was actually over fifty years older than Zhao Zilong.
Yue Yao said seductively, "Little one, stop pretending. If you truly wanted to refuse, you should have dodged the moment big sister kissed you."
Then, Yue Yao cupped Zhao Zilong's handsome face in both hands. "Honestly, you're so handsome, so talented, and so young. You're truly irresistible. Big sister fell for you the moment she first saw you. What lies between us will be a secret belonging only to the two of us. I won't interfere with you and your little girlfriends."
With that, Yue Yao kissed Zhao Zilong again.
Damn it, to hell with it! Whatever happens, happens... Zhao Zilong hardened his heart, tore apart Yue Yao's clothes with a backhanded motion, and began responding to her.
Meanwhile, back at the Papal Palace, after Bibi Dong had finished making all the arrangements, she said to Hu Liena, "Nana, let's go as well."
Hu Liena nodded. "Yes, Teacher."
Once outside, they found several people already waiting for Bibi Dong and Hu Liena. Looking at the six people before her, Hu Liena exclaimed in surprise, "Grandpa Ju, Grandpa Gui, why are you here?"
"Sweet Nana, of course we're accompanying you to find a soul ring." Yue Guan walked forward and gave Hu Liena a flirtatious look.
Hu Liena looked at the four people standing behind them. Their outfits were very similar, except they wore the noble colors of red, yellow, blue, and white respectively. Hu Liena respectfully said, "Greetings, four elders."
One of the men in a white robe smiled. "Mm. Nana, we have all heard about you passing through the City of Slaughter. As expected of Your Excellency the Pope's disciple."
Bibi Dong said, "All right, let's go."
At this moment, Hu Liena realized something was wrong. It was understandable for Elder Ju and Elder Gui to be with Bibi Dong, since they were usually by her side. But the other four elders were Red Flag Douluo, Yellow Flag Douluo, Blue Flag Douluo, and White Flag Douluo. The four of them were brothers and were known in the outside world as the Four Sons of the Royal Banner. Their martial souls were the high-grade martial souls, Royal Banners.
Their Soul Power was respectively as high as rank 92 and rank 91. When the four joined forces, they possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill that was no weaker than that of Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo: Death Barrier.
Six Titled Douluo, plus her teacher Bibi Dong, made a total of seven Titled Douluo. Hu Liena felt that this was no simple matter and asked, "Teacher, where are we going?"
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and said, "The Star Dou Great Forest."
Hu Liena immediately understood and asked in surprise, "Are we going to capture that Hundred-Thousand-Year humanoid soul beast in the Star Dou Great Forest?"
"That's right." Bibi Dong nodded. No longer concealing anything, she said, "Previously, I had Elder Ju and Elder Gui attempt to capture that little rabbit, but the protection of the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python caused them to fail. This time, I not only intend to capture that little rabbit, but also obtain the soul rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python."
Hearing this, Hu Liena immediately became somewhat worried. Their targets this time were Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts. As a mere Soul Emperor, would she not simply get in the way? "Teacher, then I..."
Bibi Dong directly said, "I'll first help you find a suitable soul ring. Then we'll head into the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest to find the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python. Your task will be to capture that little rabbit and make sure she doesn't escape. Understand?"
Although Hu Liena did not understand why Bibi Dong was taking a burden like her along to capture Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts, she still nodded. "Yes, Teacher."
"All right, let's go." Bibi Dong said this, but she had her own selfish motives for bringing Hu Liena to the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest. Bibi Dong's second martial soul already possessed seven soul rings, so after absorbing the soul rings of the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python, she would no longer need any more soul rings. As for that little rabbit, Bibi Dong had planned from the start to keep her in captivity for Hu Liena to absorb in the future. This time, she would have Hu Liena capture her personally. That way, Hu Liena's ninth soul ring would be secured in the future.
After all, Bibi Dong had already absorbed the soul ring and soul bone of a Soft Bone Rabbit many years ago. There was no need for her to absorb the soul ring and soul bone of a second Soft Bone Rabbit.
