Bibi Dong's Hatred Deepened Once More

Golden Crocodile Douluo held the Golden Crocodile Dragon Fruit, and the martial soul within him immediately emitted an exceptionally intimate aura, as though the two shared the same origin. He had a premonition that if he consumed this fruit, he would surely reach the pinnacle of the human world.

But when Golden Crocodile thought of his family, he hesitated again and again before ultimately putting the fruit away without consuming it.

Chrysanthemum Douluo hurriedly reminded him, "Second Worship, once an immortal herb leaves its protective container, the longer it remains exposed to the air, the more medicinal potency it loses. You should consume it immediately."

Golden Crocodile said blandly, "No need. This immortal herb can be saved for this old man's descendants."

Qian Xunji understood. A super martial soul was passed down through a single bloodline. When Golden Crocodile Douluo's descendants awakened their martial souls, those souls had degenerated from the kingly Golden Crocodile King into the subordinate Golden Crocodile. No matter how hard his descendants worked at having children, not one of them possessed the Golden Crocodile King martial soul. Golden Crocodile hoped to use this immortal herb to allow his descendants' martial souls to evolve back into the Golden Crocodile King.

Qian Xunji immediately said, "Second Worship has devoted his entire life to Spirit Hall and rendered great service. He should rightfully receive one more immortal herb."

The other elders and worships nodded in agreement. Though Golden Crocodile ranked second in the Worship Hall and called Qian Daoliu big brother, in truth, Qian Daoliu had been raised under Golden Crocodile's watch. In terms of age, these people were likely not even half as old as Golden Crocodile Douluo.

Seeing this, Golden Crocodile was slightly moved. His contributions to Spirit Hall had not been in vain; he had truly regarded this place as his home.

After pondering for a moment, Chrysanthemum Douluo used his Soul Power to lift a fist-sized golden melon. The moment it appeared, the air seemed to gain a profound, weighty quality, while a strange fragrance spread through the room.

"Second Worship, this is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon. It possesses a trace of Earth Dragon bloodline. Though this immortal herb is not as compatible as the Golden Crocodile Dragon Fruit, it is still an exceptional immortal-grade herb highly suited to the Golden Crocodile King martial soul."

Aside from the Golden Crocodile Dragon Fruit, the herb most compatible with the Golden Crocodile King was naturally the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, which cultivated an indestructible body. But Chrysanthemum Douluo wanted that immortal herb for himself. It was a truly one-hundred-percent compatible immortal herb. How could people not have selfish desires?

After receiving the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Golden Crocodile Douluo came to his senses and asked, "Pope, who did you say brought these immortal herbs back for us old fellows?"

Qian Xunji replied, "Xiaohan."

"The Eldest Young Master."

At that moment, a wave of shame welled up in Golden Crocodile's heart. He worshipped the Angel God, and ever since Qian Renhan had awakened the Fallen Angel Martial Soul, which stood opposed to the Angel Clan, he had become much more distant toward him. Over the past few days, he had not sought him out even once. Yet Qian Renhan had unexpectedly handed the immortal herbs to Qian Xunji without hesitation, who then distributed them among them.

Golden Crocodile asked, "Where is the Eldest Young Master now? This old man must properly thank him."

"Xiaohan has already moved to Sword Peak."

Qian Xunji replied. The moment Qian Renhan returned to Spirit Hall, he had people build a house on Sword Peak and moved in directly. He even had his three daily meals delivered there. This could be considered half-severing his ties with the Angel Clan.

Golden Crocodile Douluo nodded slightly and withdrew. The distribution of the immortal herbs continued, and the worships received theirs one by one.

"This Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum is my martial soul and the most compatible with it. I, Yue Guan, shall shamelessly assign it to myself first." Before the envious eyes of the elders, Chrysanthemum Douluo placed the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum into his Soul Tool, then continued distributing the immortal-grade herbs.

As for the elders' distribution, Bibi Dong, the Saintess whose status was equal to that of an elder, naturally came last. After all, she was only a Soul Douluo now and possessed the weakest strength.

Bibi Dong looked toward Qian Xunji. Seeing that he remained silent, a burst of resentment welled up inside her, and she could only patiently continue waiting.

When it came to Ghost Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo searched through all the immortal herbs again and again, yet could not find a single one with a cold, evil attribute. Somewhat disappointed, he said, "Old Ghost, I'm sorry. None of these immortal-grade medicinal herbs match your martial soul's attributes. Would you like an immortal herb that can Strengthen the Foundation and Cultivate Yuan instead?"

"No need. I've already eaten quite a few medicinal herbs at your place that Strengthen the Foundation and Cultivate Yuan. Since there isn't one for me, I'll pass." Ghost Douluo waved his hand on the surface, but inwardly, he was overjoyed. Earlier, Porcupinefish Douluo had already told him that the Eldest Young Master had prepared an immortal herb with a sinister attribute for him, which he could collect from him later.

Ghost Douluo was deeply moved by this. If Qian Renhan became Pope in the future, he would definitely strongly petition the Great Enshrined Elder to make him Qian Renhan's Right-hand Man—that was, his Guardian Douluo. The Fallen Angel Martial Soul's attributes were the absolute superior of Ghost's martial soul. Staying by Qian Renhan's side would certainly be extremely comfortable, and he might even have the chance to continue breaking through.

Hearing this, Bibi Dong became slightly excited. The death attributes of her Death Spider Emperor and Soul Devouring Spider Emperor were similar to the ghost attributes of Ghost's martial soul. She asked, "Elder Chrysanthemum, are there any immortal-grade medicinal herbs that match my martial souls' attributes?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo was slightly stunned. "Saintess, there are no immortal-grade medicinal herbs here that are close to your martial souls either. However, I can recommend that you consume the Eight-Petaled Immortal Orchid. Its medicinal nature is gentle and rich, capable of Strengthening the Foundation and Cultivating Yuan as well as removing impurities. This immortal herb may not compare to the herbs that match the various elders, but for you, Saintess, who are still at the Soul Douluo realm, raising your Soul Power by one or two ranks should not be a problem."

Bibi Dong understood. This immortal herb's effect was to increase Soul Power, allowing her to advance faster within the limits of her potential. It could not improve her talent. It was like those soul masters who had already reached the end of their cultivation; consuming it would have little effect.

"I'll take this one." Bibi Dong had complete confidence in her talent. After all, she had long since received a godly trial. As long as she killed Qian Xunji and began the trial, she would sooner or later reach that step. Since there was no immortal herb compatible with her martial souls, what did it matter if her strength increased a little more slowly?

Just then, Qian Xunji spoke. "Elder Chrysanthemum, leave for a moment."

"As you command, Your Holiness."

Chrysanthemum Douluo naturally knew about the relationship between Qian Xunji and Bibi Dong, so he obediently departed.

Once the doors closed, Qian Xunji's eyes softened as he said gently, "Dong'er."

Bibi Dong hurriedly took a step back, her face filled with disgust. "Qian Xunji, don't speak to me in that tone!"

Qian Xunji sighed. "Dong'er, can't you see it clearly yet? Yu Xiaogang is nothing but a worthless fool who can only plagiarize."

At those words, Bibi Dong flew into a rage and shouted, "Shut up! You are not allowed to insult Xiao Gang! So what if you're stronger than Xiao Gang? In my eyes, Xiao Gang's talent is a thousand, ten thousand times greater than yours! If Xiao Gang had your martial soul, he would be the most flawless person in the world!"

Hearing this, Qian Xunji felt helpless. He recounted his meeting with the Golden Iron Triangle, though he deliberately omitted the part where he had grabbed Yu Xiaogang by the throat and forced him to kneel and swear an oath. Otherwise, he truly feared that Bibi Dong would attack him.
