Young Hall Master and Spirit Hall Saint Son: Dual Titles, a Ten-thousand-year Icefire Wolf Left Arm Spirit Bone!

Thinking of just how unhinged this woman was,

Lin Du forcibly pulled his gaze away through sheer willpower.

Beautiful women were certainly pleasing to the eye,

but the woman before him was far too dangerous.

One careless move, and she would swallow him whole.

Lin Du had no intention of gambling with his life.

"Mother,"

Qian Renxue's face carried an almost humble longing for closeness,

but Bibi Dong did not spare her even a glance.

She merely raised her eyes to Qian Daoliu.

"Great Enshrinement,"

"What is it?"

Seeing Bibi Dong ignore her as always,

though she had mentally prepared herself,

Qian Renxue still visibly grew dejected.

Her eyes reddened,

and glistening tears flickered faintly within them.

"Today, I came across a promising young talent,"

"I have already taken him into Douluo Hall,"

"I have come to ask you to appoint him as the Young Hall Master of Douluo Hall,"

"His authority will be equal to that of the Enshrined."

Qian Daoliu did feel sorry for his granddaughter,

but this was clearly not the time to comfort her.

So he pretended not to notice

and directly stated the purpose of his visit.

"Authority equal to the Enshrined?"

"Approved."

"However, I am rather curious."

"Just what sort of talent does this promising seed the Great Enshrinement speaks of possess,"

"that could bring you, the Great Enshrinement who never concerns himself with worldly affairs, here in person to ask for his appointment?"

Bibi Dong's gaze finally fell upon Lin Du.

It was calm as water,

yet as heavy as a thousand jun!

"A top-tier Weapon Spirit no weaker than the Seven Kill Sword,"

"Innate Full Soul Power."

Qian Daoliu's expression remained unchanged

as he stated the talent Lin Du showed to the outside world.

"With such talent,"

"he is indeed worthy of becoming the Young Hall Master of Douluo Hall."

"However,"

"it would still be somewhat inconvenient for a child to remain by the side of the Enshrined."

"My Spirit Hall happens to lack a Saint Son."

"I wonder whether the Great Enshrinement would be willing to honor me with this?"

"Consider it for the child's sake."

"What does the Great Enshrinement think?"

Bibi Dong's Crimson Lips parted lightly.

The moment she opened her mouth, she tried to draw Lin Du into her camp.

"I am quite adept at educating children as well."

"You can tell that just by looking at Xue'er."

"You already have a disciple at your side who needs teaching."

"There is no need for you to trouble yourself over Lin Du."

Qian Daoliu smiled serenely,

composed and at ease.

"Then I thank the Great Enshrinement for being so understanding."

"Lin Du, is it?"

"Welcome to Spirit Hall."

"For our first meeting,"

"this Icefire Wolf Left Arm Spirit Bone that has just passed ten thousand years will serve as my gift to you."

"When you have nothing to do,"

"you may also visit my Pope's Palace more often."

"I have always taken good care"

"of outstanding juniors."

Bibi Dong lightly tapped her scepter.

A left arm Spirit Bone appeared before her.

Red and blue light blossomed over it,

and a faint wolf's howl reached Lin Du's ears.

"Lin Du,"

"Since it is a gift from the Pope,"

"accept it."

Just as Lin Du was hesitating over whether to speak,

Qian Daoliu had already made the choice for him.

"Thank you, Your Holiness the Pope."

Seeing this,

Lin Du no longer held back.

Delighted, he accepted the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone Bibi Dong had given him.

"No need to be courteous."

"I will issue the decree appointing you shortly."

"Before long,"

"you will become the Young Hall Master of Douluo Hall and Spirit Hall's new Saint Son."

As Bibi Dong's words fell,

Lin Du first froze,

then turned to look at Qian Daoliu.

At that moment, Qian Daoliu's expression remained perfectly normal,

as though he had not heard Bibi Dong's words at all.

Seeing this,

Lin Du simply cupped his hands and accepted.

No matter how he looked at it, he was not losing out.

Not long after,

the three left the Pope's Palace.

Qian Renxue had long since lost the excitement she had shown when she wanted to follow them.

She silently trailed behind Qian Daoliu and Lin Du,

the emotion on her face growing ever more downcast.

No one spoke along the way.

Only after they entered Douluo Hall did Qian Daoliu turn to Lin Du.

"You want to ask why I tacitly allowed Bibi Dong to appoint you as Spirit Hall's Saint Son?"

Hearing this,

Lin Du said nothing

and merely nodded lightly.

"When you eat someone's food, you owe them; when you take someone's gift, your hand is softened."

"Since I allowed you to accept her gift,"

"having the additional title of Spirit Hall Saint Son is nothing much."

"Besides,"

"no matter what,"

"it is beneficial to you."

"However,"

"you should be more cautious as well."

"In this world,"

"no one will be good to you for no reason."

Qian Daoliu clasped his hands behind his back,

his tone calm.

"I understand,"

"Great Enshrinement."

Lin Du nodded lightly.

Naturally, he understood such principles.

"It is good that you understand."

"However,"

"she truly put in some effort to win you over."

"Although this Spirit Bone has only just passed ten thousand years,"

"its strength lies in the fact that it is an Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone."

"This type of Spirit Beast is exceedingly special."

"Its four claws tread upon fire, while its fur is ice."

"They are born with the ability to control the elements of ice and fire."

"It is precisely because of this special trait"

"that their Spirit Bones are exceptionally unusual."

"Normally, only a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone can reliably provide two Soul Skills."

"But even if an Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone has not reached a hundred thousand years,"

"it still has a chance of providing two Soul Skills."

"Though the chance is low,"

"it is still enough to make people flock to them."

"Even a Thousand Year Soul Bone"

"can fetch an astronomical price."

"From this,"

"you can see that the Pope truly has deep pockets."

"So?"

"Are you thinking of switching allegiance to Bibi Dong?"

Qian Daoliu wore a smile,

looking as though he were joking.

"Great Enshrinement, you jest."

"If not for you and the Young Master today,"

"I might not even have had the chance to awaken my Martial Soul."

"Though I am only a commoner,"

"I still know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring."

"Even if the Pope truly offered me a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone,"

"I would not switch allegiance to her."

"If the Great Enshrinement does not believe me,"

"you may take this Spirit Bone back."

As he spoke,

Lin Du handed the Icefire Wolf Spirit Bone in his hand to Qian Daoliu.

There was not the slightest trace of reluctance on his face.

"You're a good kid in every way,"

"except you're a little too hard to tease."

"Come on,"

"I'll take you to meet my old friends again."

"Bibi Dong gave you a gift when you met,"

"so if those elders of yours"

"don't show some kind of gesture,"

"I'll give them a proper drilling."

Qian Daoliu laughed helplessly,

then led Lin Du into the inner hall.

"Big Brother,"

"How did it go?"

"Did that Bibi Dong agree?"

The moment they entered the inner hall,

a burly man came forward to greet them,

his yellow sideburns wrapping around his face,

making him look like a mighty lion with its mane,

especially imposing.

"Thank you for your concern, Fourth Enshrined,"

"Her Holiness the Pope has already agreed to the Great Enshrinement's proposal."

Lin Du lightly cupped his hands toward Mighty Lion Douluo,

his manner exceptionally polite.

"No need to be so polite with them,"

"They're all a bunch of stingy old geezers."

"Bibi Dong gave you a ten-thousand-year Icefire Wolf left arm bone the moment you met,"

"yet they haven't even thought of making a token gesture!"
