A Nighttime Talk Between Master and Disciple, A Two-Year Pact

"You wicked disciple—"

"Who are you talking to?!"

Lin Hai missed that word "wicked disciple" terribly. Looking at Bibi Dong's flushed cheeks and trembling body, he thought to himself:

'Tsk tsk, this look is clearly not entirely because he's angry!'

This is a rare opportunity, and she certainly won't actually kill me!

"That depends on who's answering me," Lin Hai said, forcing a smile.

Bibi Dong laughed angrily, "Very well! Don't think that just because you fought Chen Xin to a draw, you can provoke me. Today I'll show you what it means to respect your teacher!"

She had already finalized the details of her allegiance with Ning Fengzhi, and naturally, she had also heard about Lin Li's battle against Chen Xin and Gu Rong.

To be honest, she really didn't have much confidence in facing this wicked disciple.

Since Lin Hai created the Spirit Ring Pill, she has neglected her cultivation and devoted herself wholeheartedly to the great cause of the Spirit Hall.

She is just waiting for the right moment to unleash a wave of Soul Ring to push her Soul Power to its limit, which is why her current Soul Power is only at the peak of level 97.

The four Soul Skill of the Human-faced Spider Emperor and the Hell Demon Dragon King, as well as the skill of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's left leg bone, are indeed powerful.

But he felt a little embarrassed to fight him with the Soul Ring and Spirit Bone given to him by this wicked disciple.

What if he gets hurt again...

However, if one only uses the Death Spider Emperor Martial Soul to fight, then there's no point in fighting at all; one might as well just admit defeat.

After all, the Death Spider Emperor's Martial Soul Avatar was too ugly, and she would never use it.

Other Soul Skill are practically useless at their level of strength; their only ultimate move is a resurrection skill.

Just Bibi Dong was caught in a dilemma, Lin Hai had already rushed in front of her.

He stroked his chin, looked left and right, and then spoke in a serious tone:

"You seem to have lost some weight. Didn't you listen to my advice? I told you to focus on the big picture and let go of the small details. This body isn't just yours..."

Bibi Dong instinctively replied, "Then whose could it be?"

"Me too!" Lin Hai quickly added, seeing her expression turn from cloudy to gloomy.

"You will be the first empress of the Spirit Hall Empire, responsible for the well-being of all people! I am just a commoner under your rule!"

Bibi Dong sneered, "What a bunch of petty people under your rule! If everyone on the Douluo Continent were like you, I wouldn't be emperor even if you begged me!"

Lin Hai stood by with a forced smile, saying "How could that be?" and "That's right, that's right," finally managing to bring the furious Bibi Dong back to normal.

There was nothing Lin Hai could do; he had absolutely no temper with her.

But temper is temper, and courage is courage.

With a fawning expression, he had unknowingly taken Bibi Dong's slender hand and gently played with her delicate fingers.

Bibi Dong gazed at him with a deep, Youyou look, neither speaking nor struggling to break free.

This is already a silent acquiescence.

Lin Hai gently put his arm around her waist and pulled her trembling body into his embrace.

The boy who only reached her shoulder six years ago is now much taller than her.

He whispered in her ear like a devil, "What does master and disciple matter? You will become a god in the future, and the years will be endless. You will not be able to escape it in the end... Dong'er."

Bibi Dong's delicate body stiffened.

Yes, although this wicked disciple is extremely rebellious, his words may not be entirely without reason.

She would become a god, and so would Lin Hai; Bibi Dong never doubted this.

By then, the Divine Realm will be vast and devoid of old acquaintances. Will she still be able to hide? And what reason will she have to hide?

But while you can think of things this way, you can't say them like that.

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "We will fight two years from now, and I will go all out. If you defeat me, then... I will be at your mercy!"

She was well aware that her prodigal disciple was progressing faster than her. As for whether she would truly "go all out," only she herself knew the answer.

Lin Hai hugged Bibi Dong tightly and solemnly said, "It's a deal!"

Two years from now, he will most likely break through level 80.

At that time, even without relying on his domain to unleash his full potential, he will be fearless against anyone below the God Level.

Okay, even with Bibi Dong's peak cultivation at level 99, all nine of the Soul Devouring Spider Emperor's Soul Ring being over 190,000 years old, and her ability to use Rakshasa Divine Power, he still probably couldn't defeat her.

Even ordinary deities would find it incredibly difficult to deal with Bibi Dong...

The master and apprentice enjoyed a rare moment of tenderness.

Then, Bibi Dong asked casually, "Did you make a promise with Nana before you left Spirit City?"

"Yes!" Lin Hai nodded, a smile unconsciously appearing on his lips.

"I said at the time that when I got back, if the difference in Soul Power between her and me wasn't more than ten levels, I would give her a surprise!"

Upon hearing Bibi Dong couldn't help but chuckle, a hint of mockery flickering in her eyes:

"Then you'd better prepare a surprise in advance! That girl has been putting in a lot of effort to cultivate all these years."

Lin Hai had actually anticipated this. After all, even Dugu Yan had already reached level 62!

Logically speaking, even if their aptitude was greatly improved through Elixir Pill, their normal cultivation speed would still be no match for his.

But they all possess an advantage that Lin Hai lacks—

Level up directly by absorbing Soul Ring.

Soul Ring of normal age can usually only increase Soul Power by one level.

However, after consuming the Elixir Pill made from the Immortal Herb, their physical condition and Spiritual Power were sufficient to support them in absorbing the elixirs beyond their lifespan.

Dugu Yan is the best example. With her Sixth Spirit Ring, she directly leveled up from level 60 to level 62.

Lin Hai nodded knowingly, his tone filled with concern. "How... is Nana doing lately?"

This wicked disciple, holding his teacher in his arms, was thinking of his senior sister...

"Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted softly, her tone slightly displeased. "She's perfectly fine. If Yan hadn't been constantly bothering her, she would definitely be even better!"

"However, ever since she took the Elixir Pill you made from Immortal Herb and her Soul Power Level increased significantly, that guy Yan has calmed down a lot."

She then said jokingly, "Speaking of the Elixir Pill you gave Nana, she treasured it like a priceless gem, keeping it close to her heart for months before finally daring to take it!"

Actually, she still harbored a small question in her heart—

Why did Lin Hai give the Elixir Pill to Nana alone, but not to Xie Yue and Yan?

They were childhood friends, and based on her understanding of Lin Hai, he was definitely not the petty type who would treat Yan differently just because she liked Nana.

But the thought only flashed through her mind, and she didn't ask it aloud.

For so many years, it has been Lin Hai has been continuously giving back to the Spirit Hall.

In comparison, the help that the Spirit Hall gave him was negligible.

Lin Hai thought of Hu Liena holding the Elixir Pill, reluctant to take them, and his heart softened, a slight ache rising in his nose.

It wasn't out of emotion, but because the headbutt the Little Fox gave him back then was still fresh in his memory, as if it were yesterday.

'That brat Yan is still up to his old tricks.' Lin Hai thought to himself, his eyes narrowing slightly.

'It seems that deciding to withhold his share of the Elixir Pill for a few years was absolutely the right decision. Whether he's career-oriented or a sycophant, it's up to him to choose!'

The master and apprentice chatted idly like this, and before they knew it, it was late at night.

Bibi Dong eventually couldn't hold out any longer and fled in disarray.

It was simply because this wicked disciple was too cunning; he always managed to cleverly capture her entire attention with some strange or unusual topics that she was extremely interested in.

Then, without realizing it, he took advantage of her quite a bit.

Lin Hai watched Bibi Dong's figure disappear, then raised his hands and made a grasping motion twice, muttering to himself:

"You're in for a great blessing if you follow me!"
