Teacher, I Love You, Forever

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's decision, the Titled Douluo all wore expressions of deep disappointment.

A monstrous genius with Twin Martial Souls and a thousand-year second ring—slipping right through their fingers like that.

All their efforts just now, completely wasted.

Hah!

Success!

Sun Sheng let out a long breath upon hearing the system's prompt.

Finally finished the mission!

"Liena, Xie Yue, Yan!"

"From now on, Sun Sheng is a member of your Golden Generation. You must get along well with him in your daily affairs."

"Yan, you're the oldest, so take the lead. Look after Sun Sheng and help him familiarize himself with our Martial Soul Hall as soon as possible."

Bibi Dong called Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan before her and gave them a solemn instruction.

"Yes!"

The three of them bowed with varied expressions and responded respectfully.

Among them, Yan's face was extremely ugly, dark to the extreme.

He knew that targeting Sun Sheng from now on would be difficult.

After all, Sun Sheng's current status was Bibi Dong's disciple—his standing had already surpassed Yan's.

In the future, he might even become the next heir of Martial Soul Hall.

How could Yan ever hold his head up in front of Sun Sheng now?

As for Xie Yue, he was full of helplessness.

Sun Sheng's rise undoubtedly dealt a serious blow to their positions.

But what could he do about it? The matter was already settled.

Sun Sheng's talent was simply too shocking to the world.

A thousand-year second ring!

Twin Martial Souls!

Either one alone would let Sun Sheng secure his footing in Martial Soul Hall and become a key cultivation target.

Both together—unrivaled under heaven.

No one could shake his position.

At this moment, he truly regretted his actions back in the Star Dou Great Forest.

But at least he hadn't gone too far—there was still room to make amends.

For Yan, though, that would be a bit harder.

"Sun Sheng, get along well with the three of them from now on."

"You are all the future of our Martial Soul Hall. I don't want to see discord among you."

Bibi Dong's perception was sharp—she naturally noticed Yan's deep displeasure toward Sun Sheng.

She didn't want unpleasantness between the four of them.

"Yes, Teacher!"

Sun Sheng bowed with a smile.

Then, a main quest surged into his mind.

Ding! Main quest issued: Integrate into the Golden Generation!

"Yue Guan, pass down the order. All information regarding Sun Sheng is to be protected as top secret. Nothing is to be leaked."

"If special circumstances arise, handle them specially. I only care about the result."

Bibi Dong now regarded Sun Sheng as her heir. Before he grew strong, she had to ensure his protection—she couldn't let the enemies of Martial Soul Hall snuff him out.

"Yes!"

Yue Guan respectfully acknowledged, then withdrew to begin making arrangements.

"Sun Sheng, stay."

"Everyone else, you may leave."

Bibi Dong waved her hand and gave the order.

"We take our leave!"

Except for Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo, who left directly, the other Titled Douluo all bowed and withdrew.

"Brother Sun, we'll wait for you outside."

"Teacher, we take our leave!"

Hu Liena whispered something in Sun Sheng's ear, then took her leave along with Xie Yue and Yan.

After everyone had left, Bibi Dong slowly walked over.

Sun Sheng watched her perfect figure rise and fall, swallowing hard.

Damn!

So tempting.

How was he supposed to win her over?

This was going to be tough.

Sun Sheng stared at the progress bar for the Bibi Dong conquest mission—still zero, no change at all.

He felt troubled.

How should he even start?

This wasn't like Hu Liena, where acting cute and playing innocent would do the trick.

To take Bibi Dong down, he'd have to pay some price, or it wouldn't be possible.

"Teacher!"

Suppressing his restless urge under an inexplicable pressure, Sun Sheng bowed respectfully.

He decided to take it slow, not risk anything.

At the very least, he needed to act obedient first, let Bibi Dong trust him, get her to like him a little.

"You and I both have Twin Martial Souls."

"This kind of talent may seem like a symbol of power in ordinary eyes, but it also has a serious drawback."

"That drawback is backlash."

"Now, listen carefully..."

Bibi Dong began explaining in earnest how to resolve the backlash from the Martial Souls.

Even though Sun Sheng didn't need it, he still listened attentively.

And followed her instructions, trying it out.

"Little sister, you came with Sun Sheng just now—what did you two talk about?"

Xie Yue, waiting outside the Papal Hall, glanced at Yan and asked.

"We didn't talk about much, just his experiences over the past half month," Hu Liena replied.

"Only that? Nothing else?" Xie Yue pressed on.

Hu Liena shook her head and answered, "No. What's wrong, big brother? Do you have a problem?"

"Sister Liena, Sun Sheng really didn't say anything else to you? Like about the two of us?"

Hearing Hu Liena's reply, Yan felt a slight relief.

But he wanted further confirmation, so he asked with hidden meaning.

"Brother Yan, what exactly are you two trying to ask? All mysterious like this—did you do something guilty?"

Hu Liena was confused by the two of them, not understanding what they wanted to know.

Hearing this, Yan shuddered and said a bit guiltily, "Sister Liena, what are you saying? How could we do anything guilty?"

"Then what were you trying to ask just now? So strange. Spill it, confess honestly."

Seeing his reaction, she was even more certain they were hiding something. Hands on her hips, she pretended to be angry, pressuring them.

Yan and Xie Yue looked at her signature pose and immediately made a judgment.

Sun Sheng probably hadn't told her about the Star Dou Great Forest yet.

After all, this was Hu Liena's usual trick for throwing a tantrum or being willful with them.

If she knew, she definitely wouldn't be acting like this.

That put Yan at ease.

Now, as long as he could handle Sun Sheng and keep him from telling, everything would be resolved.

"Little sister, what are you thinking? We don't have anything to hide from you. We were just curious—what did you and Sun Sheng talk about that made your relationship so close all of a sudden?"

Xie Yue's mind worked fast, quickly using their intimate behavior as a cover.

Sure enough, hearing his words, Hu Liena grew a bit shy and stopped pressing further.

Seeing this, Yan breathed a sigh of relief.

But at the same time, he felt a small pang of loss.

He knew—Hu Liena had probably already taken a liking to Sun Sheng.

That pained him deeply, and made him hate Sun Sheng all the more.

Inside the Papal Hall, Bibi Dong watched Sun Sheng, who had already fully grasped how to resolve the backlash of his spirit, and was deeply astonished.

She hadn't expected Sun Sheng to possess such astonishing talent.

This completely exceeded her expectations.

In truth, Sun Sheng had never experienced any spirit backlash to begin with, which was why he mastered it so smoothly.

Otherwise, there was no way he could have been this fast.

"Sun Sheng, your comprehension is impressive. To grasp the knack in such a short time truly surprises me. From now on, cultivate diligently—I have high hopes for you," Bibi Dong praised.

"Hehe, it's all thanks to my teacher's excellent instruction." Sun Sheng slowly rose, grinning foolishly.

"Mm, you may go now. Call Hu Liena in—I have some matters to discuss."

Bibi Dong nodded, giving her instructions.

She seemed unwilling to exchange more words with Sun Sheng or to grow any closer to him.

Sun Sheng, an old hand at reading the room, could see this clearly.

"Yes, Teacher."

With no other choice, he could only take his leave and figure things out later.

But just a few steps away, a flash of inspiration struck him. He turned back to look at Bibi Dong and said with deep emotion, "Teacher, I know you have things on your mind, but no matter what, I will always love you, forever."

With that, Sun Sheng turned and left swiftly without looking back.

He was afraid that if he lingered, Bibi Dong would call him back and give him a thorough beating.
