Night fell.
Under the moonlight.
Ji Wushuang controlled twelve flying swords as they returned to their sheaths one after another. Panting, he recalled the Peerless Sword Casket.
"Let's call it a day."
"Go back and wash up first. Change into clean clothes, then come dine with me."
With her Treasure Sword slung across her back, Bibi Dong appeared elegant and natural. As she sparred with Ji Wushuang, she also learned swordsmanship. Every gesture she made increasingly resembled that of a true swordswoman.
"You don't need to wait for me, Teacher," Ji Wushuang said with a smile as he headed toward the West Courtyard.
Bibi Dong ignored him, turned, and returned to her room. She changed out of her fitted training attire and into a long purple-and-gold dress that fit her perfectly, flawlessly outlining her graceful curves beneath the skirt.
When she emerged from the bedroom, a table laden with delicacies had already been set in the center of the hall, their fragrance filling the air. Two chairs stood side by side. Bibi Dong sat in one of them, quietly waiting as she looked toward the door.
A moment later.
Ji Wushuang appeared at the doorway in a purple-and-gold training outfit. He clasped his hands and said, "Teacher, this disciple is late."
"Sit down and eat," Bibi Dong said.
Ji Wushuang sat beside Bibi Dong with slight restraint. Although this arrangement had continued for a year, he still could not help feeling nervous every time.
Moreover, while eating, he could not be as carefree as he was with Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan. He had to watch Bibi Dong's expressions and hints at all times.
She was too difficult to please!
Still, this table of delicacies was truly excellent!
They were all exceptionally precious ingredients, prepared to the standards of a Pope!
Bibi Dong merely tasted a bite of each dish before stopping. She quietly watched Ji Wushuang feast heartily.
Sometimes, watching someone else eat was also a rare pleasure.
Ji Wushuang tried his best not to appear so crude. Yet his deliberately restrained manner made Bibi Dong unable to hold back her laughter, and the amusement in her eyes lingered for a long time.
After quite some time, Ji Wushuang finally left the table and said to Bibi Dong, "Teacher, this disciple has finished eating. I'll take my leave first."
Bibi Dong smiled and nodded without saying anything.
After Ji Wushuang left.
Bibi Dong stared at the mess before her. Only after looking at it for a long while did she rise and leave.
Two maids then stepped forward to clean up.
A year passed in the blink of an eye.
West Courtyard.
In a bedroom decorated identically to Bibi Dong's, Ji Wushuang was deep in meditation, Soul Power surging around him.
Boom—
A wave of Soul Power suddenly erupted from Ji Wushuang's body.
The instant Ji Wushuang opened his eyes.
His gaze was as sharp as a sword, soul-stirring and brimming with unmatched edge.
"I've finally... reached level fifty!"
Ji Wushuang let out a long breath.
Just then, a figure flashed past the window.
Ji Wushuang noticed it.
Bibi Dong's presence suddenly appeared outside the door, and he went to open it.
Sure enough.
Bibi Dong was already standing outside.
The moment the door opened, she stepped inside on her long, jade-like legs.
"Teacher, why have you come?" Ji Wushuang poured tea and water, attending to Bibi Dong as she sat down.
"You were an hour late for today's Combat Training. I was worried, so I came to see what you were up to."
"But when I saw you at a critical point in your cultivation, I did not disturb you."
Bibi Dong took a sip of tea, then raised her eyes to examine Ji Wushuang. A smile appeared on her lovely face as she said, "I never expected you to reach level fifty so early."
"Wushuang, you've truly given me a great surprise."
Ji Wushuang smiled. "It is all thanks to your excellent instruction, Teacher. Without your careful guidance, how could this disciple have improved so quickly?"
At those words.
A trace of speechlessness flashed through Bibi Dong's eyes.
He said the same thing every time. She was nearly sick of hearing it.
Could he not say something new?
"Since you have already broken through, and I have nothing to do, I will personally take you to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain your fifth Spirit Ring."
"Thank you, Teacher."
Bibi Dong set down her teacup and rose to head outside.
Suddenly.
The Six-Winged Purple Light Wings materialized behind her.
She greatly disliked the appearance of Martial Soul Possession.
But these Six-Winged Purple Light Wings were what pleased her most.
Not only did they accentuate her beauty even more.
They also allowed her to fly extremely fast.
Whoosh—
The Heavenly Slash Sword suddenly appeared.
Ji Wushuang took to the air with Sword Flight, swiftly catching up to Bibi Dong. "Teacher, aren't we bringing more people?"
"Many hands make light work. It would be more convenient to search, and we could save more time."
"You have countless matters to attend to..."
Bibi Dong interrupted him. "No need. It will only take a little more time, which is of no consequence."
"If I had to personally handle everything, then those subordinates would be far too useless."
"..."
Ji Wushuang said, "Teacher, this disciple believes you should pay more attention to the various main halls and branch halls."
"Our Spirit Hall personnel are spread across the continent. Every word and action of those branch halls and main halls represents Spirit Hall. If some Hall Masters abuse their status and act recklessly, tarnishing Spirit Hall's name, wouldn't that be causing trouble for Spirit Hall?"
"After all, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away."
At those words.
Bibi Dong's expression froze.
Her figure abruptly halted in midair as she looked at Ji Wushuang in surprise.
"Wushuang, you've truly grown up!"
"You've already begun viewing problems from different perspectives!"
"It seems I can no longer treat you like a child!"
Bibi Dong said with a smiling expression.
"Teacher, this disciple is already fourteen. For ordinary people, at this age, they could already marry and have children," Ji Wushuang sighed.
"Hehe~"
Bibi Dong chuckled and asked, "Are you an ordinary person? Marriage and children are still far off for you. Right now, you should focus on cultivation."
"As for romance between men and women, wait until you are older before getting involved in such things."
As she gazed at Ji Wushuang's increasingly handsome face, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a trace of dissatisfaction toward Hu Liena.
In all of Spirit City.
Aside from herself, Hu Liena was the one closest to Ji Wushuang.
As the saying went, only with no love in one's heart could cultivation yield twice the results with half the effort.
"This disciple will remember your teachings, Teacher."
Ji Wushuang's words did not match his thoughts.
While he said that, he certainly did not think that way.
Romance had to start young.
In a few more years, once everyone grew up, they would all be taken.
If he waited until then, he would have missed his chance.
Bibi Dong said, "Continue onward. This time, we will enter the depths of the Star Dou Great Forest."
"There are many rare Spirit Beasts there, powerful races that are seldom seen. Some are comparable to the Titan Giant Ape, or even stronger Spirit Beast races."
Upon hearing that.
Ji Wushuang thought of the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear clan and immediately said, "Teacher, I want a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear as my fifth Spirit Ring."
"A Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear..."
Bibi Dong pondered for a moment before saying, "It is said that the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear is descended from a creature called the Behemoth Beast. It can rival dragons and possesses extremely formidable attack power."
"It would indeed suit you to absorb a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear's Spirit Ring."
"Very well, a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear it is!"
Bibi Dong made her decision, her eyes sharp. She had decided to help Ji Wushuang hunt a suitable Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear for his fifth Spirit Ring.
"Thank you for granting my wish, Teacher!"
Ji Wushuang was overjoyed.
Bibi Dong did not think much of it and merely smiled faintly.
