"Do you really not understand?"
The corners of Bibi Dong's lips curled into a cold, eerie arc. She did not believe that, with Ye Tian's intelligence, he could not understand the implication behind her words.
Ye Tian's expression changed slightly as he forced himself to say,
"Please enlighten me, Teacher."
"Humph! Slippery little thing!"
Bibi Dong's jade hand smacked Ye Tian on the head, and she gave a cold snort.
As though she were treating Ye Tian like a puppet.
In a strange pose, one horizontal and one vertical, they slowly descended outside Wisteria Residence.
Bibi Dong reached out and pinched Ye Tian's chin.
Making him turn his head to look at her, she looked down from above and said,
"You only need to know this: as long as you listen to your teacher, whatever the Pope cannot give you, your teacher can find for you."
"Do you understand?"
"Gulp~"
Ye Tian looked up at Bibi Dong's beautiful face, bathed in sunlight.
Yet he could not feel the slightest warmth.
What was this? Was she trying to keep him as some sort of forbidden possession?
"Teacher, are you... threatening me?"
Ye Tian said with an awkward laugh.
He did not want to favor either side. After all, playing both sides served his interests better.
"What do you think?"
A chill flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes as her gaze casually fell upon Ye Tian's neck.
Her jade hand released his chin and slowly closed around it.
Fuck!
Ye Tian inwardly cried out in alarm and hurriedly nodded in agreement.
"I understand!"
"I really understand!"
"Teacher, you have to believe in my passionate filial devotion!"
Ye Tian finally chose to submit for the time being.
All Bibi Dong had said was simply meant to force him to pick a side.
He had never expected things to turn out like this.
Bibi Dong's regard for him had simply gone beyond the limit.
But there was no need for this at all!
His talent was good, and he was a little clever,
But that did not change the fact that he was currently just a tiny nobody!
Not to mention that he was unqualified.
Even if he were qualified,
He had no ability whatsoever to meddle in Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong's bullshit.
From beginning to end, he had never planned to get involved.
As a Food System Spirit Master, Ye Tian only wanted to lie low, steadily raise his level, and seize the opportunities he was supposed to get. That was what truly mattered!
"Humph! Filial devotion, my ass!"
"I think you just won't cry until you see the coffin!"
Bibi Dong looked speechlessly at the brat she was holding in her hand again.
He would not accept kindness and insisted on being dealt with harshly.
How utterly cheap!
"Let's skip the coffin, Teacher. There's really no need."
Looking at the cold and beautiful face before him, Ye Tian had not the slightest improper thought.
He had to make his stance clear.
He had to secure his own interests!
"As your disciple, I absolutely support you becoming the one in charge of Spirit Hall, Teacher. But I'm only a tiny Spirit Master, with no say in anything!"
Bibi Dong furrowed her brows.
What nonsense was this kid spouting?
When had she ever said she wanted to become the next Pope?!
Had this kid misunderstood something?
"Teacher, the most important thing for your disciple right now is cultivation. But don't worry, even if Your Majesty the Pope really gives me a Soul Bone, it will never change my utter sincerity toward you. I will always be your absolute direct subordinate, your most loyal lackey!"
After hearing Ye Tian's mad ramblings,
Bibi Dong finally understood what Ye Tian was trying to say, and she actually began to laugh uncontrollably.
Though she was laughing,
The indifference on Bibi Dong's face did not lessen in the slightest.
She had clearly been angered into laughter.
"Ye Tian, Ye Tian... I truly don't know where you got such thick skin. You make greed sound so righteous."
Annoyed, Bibi Dong pinched Ye Tian's cheek.
"Ah, Teacher, be gentler. These are all words from the bottom of my heart!"
Ye Tian kicked his legs wildly, still declaring his loyalty.
"Words from the bottom of your heart? Heh."
Bibi Dong gave a cold laugh and could not help but sigh.
"You brat are far more cunning than I imagined. You keep saying you want to support me as Pope, yet you are unwilling to draw a clear line from the current Pope."
"Do you believe the nonsense you spout with your eyes open?"
"I'm ashamed on your behalf!"
Bibi Dong pinched Ye Tian's cheek and shook it. Seeing that Ye Tian still wanted to use sweet words to deceive her, she immediately ordered in a low voice,
"Enough, shut up! Look into my eyes and listen to me!"
"..."
Ye Tian was somewhat dazed. Covering his face, he nodded.
"Listen carefully!"
Bibi Dong raised an index finger, pointed it at Ye Tian's nose, and lowered her voice, speaking with utmost seriousness.
"I don't care whether what you said was sincere."
"In any case, I am warning you: do not think that just because you are still useful to me, you can act without fear. If you dare defy me and stand with Qian Xunji, do not blame your teacher for cleaning house!"
"As for everything else, I do not care whether you take the Soul Bone he gives you. In any case, you are not allowed to refuse the Soul Bone I promised you!"
"Otherwise, I'll kill you--!"
Bibi Dong practically ground out the final three words through gnashing teeth. Her eyes turned blood-red, and the thick killing intent made Ye Tian truly experience lethal danger, causing him to tremble.
"Now, you should understand completely, right?"
Her words fell.
Bibi Dong set Ye Tian down, clapped her hands, and placed both hands on her hips.
The killing intent surrounding her faded away.
As the sunlight fell upon Ye Tian, the sudden alternation between heat and cold made him shudder.
He nodded repeatedly.
"Mmm, I absolutely support Teacher becoming Pope."
"You had better say less of that."
Bibi Dong frowned in warning, yet she did not explain anything. So long as Ye Tian did not side with Qian Xunji, that was enough.
There were some matters
She did not want more people to know about!
"Alright."
Bibi Dong bent down and pinched Ye Tian's slightly baby-fat cheek again.
"That's that~"
After saying that,
She shook Ye Tian's cheek, then strode into Wisteria Residence.
She then wrinkled her nose, catching a faint medicinal fragrance.
Somewhat strangely, she sniffed her fingertips.
"As his cultivation changes, he's becoming more and more fragrant? Looks like he'll be quite the restless one in the future."
Bibi Dong muttered before disappearing through the door.
"That's too much. Have you gotten addicted to pinching me?"
Ye Tian stood at the entrance, rubbing his face in annoyance.
He could not help feeling fortunate that he had agreed to become her disciple back then. Otherwise, he might have been dead long ago.
In just a few short days,
Ye Tian had learned that without a sword in hand, one could only be bullied by others!
He had to become stronger as quickly as possible!
But Food System was still Food System. His own strength was lacking, so he could only borrow some external power.
Ye Tian's little face turned serious.
It seemed that this half-baked Daoist priest could not merely know a little about alchemy.
Perhaps he also needed to know a little about ballistics!
"Let's do it. In any case, I won't know whether it works until I try!"
Ye Tian hammered his fist into his palm and made up his mind.
He did not need to reach some absurdly overpowered level,
But when he went out in the future, he had to have some means of protecting himself, right?
"Sigh~ Another considerable expense."
Ye Tian shook his head helplessly and took the glass jar from his wrist guard.
As he activated his Spirit Skill, he squeezed through the crack in the door.
