Bibi Dong's Bedroom

(Add a beautiful picture of Bibi Dong!)

Elsewhere.

Bibi Dong had already awakened from her coma and returned to her own chambers.

That fragrant scent kept lingering in her mind, making everything seem somewhat unreal.

She had never expected the life energy Chen Xing left behind to provoke such an intense reaction in her body.

It was truly astonishing!

Most importantly, the normally restless Rakshasa Divine Power had actually been eased somewhat.

Taking a deep breath, her fair arm slowly rose from the bathtub. The wound the boy had inflicted earlier was still strikingly visible.

Bibi Dong murmured softly to herself.

"Chen Xing..."

"Just how many secrets are you hiding?"

Knock, knock, knock.

Just as she was lost in thought, someone suddenly knocked on the door outside.

Only then did she remember that she had told him to come find her that evening.

The boy's slightly immature face instantly surfaced in her mind, and she hurriedly stood up from the bathtub.

Using Soul Power to disperse the water droplets, she picked up the dark purple nightgown beside her and walked toward the door while putting it on.

At that moment, Chen Xing had already arrived outside Bibi Dong's chambers under the maid's guidance.

He stood there, filled with unease.

Though he had no idea why this woman insisted on seeing him, recalling her guidance that afternoon, there probably would not be anything bad, right?

Even if there were, it seemed he had no way to resist.

Sigh~

When you're under someone else's roof, you have no choice but to bow your head...

Just as he was thinking, the door suddenly opened.

As an unfamiliar floral fragrance entered his nose, Chen Xing looked up and saw Bibi Dong.

Her dark purple nightgown hung slightly loose on her body, yet the fullness at her chest only made her more alluring.

Her pinkish-brown hair was still dripping with water, clinging tightly to her neck and making her skin look even fairer.

The sight left Chen Xing staring blankly for a moment.

Clearly, she had just finished bathing—or rather, had been bathing when he called her out.

His Adam's apple bobbed as Chen Xing unconsciously swallowed.

"P-Pope, you said earlier that I should come find you."

"If it's inconvenient, I can wait outside for a while..."

Seeing the cautious look on the little brat's face, Bibi Dong rolled her beautiful eyes and walked back into the room.

"Come in!"

Although she was the Pope, and everyone had treated her with great respect in recent years,

it was truly rare to see a child Chen Xing's age constantly keeping his distance from her.

She remembered that when Hu Liena had first awakened her Martial Soul, she had seemed rather innocent and clingy...

Perhaps the boy was afraid she would pry into his secrets.

But the more he acted this way, the more Bibi Dong wanted to close the distance between them.

"Um... should I close the door?"

Bibi Dong had already reached the sofa. Turning toward the voice, she found Chen Xing still standing in the doorway.

His little finger pointed at the open door as he stared at her blankly.

That little brat nearly made her laugh in exasperation. Was she really that frightening?

Still, no matter how helpless she felt, he was only a child. She was old enough to be Chen Xing's mother, so it would not be appropriate to lose her temper directly.

So she said coldly.

"Close it!"

"Come over to me after you do."

She had figured it out. When dealing with Chen Xing, she needed to give him clear instructions one at a time.

Otherwise, the little brat would always act so cautiously.

Sure enough, after she gave the order, Chen Xing closed the door and walked straight over to her.

Bibi Dong sighed helplessly and took a deep breath, trying to keep her tone as calm as possible.

"Am I really that scary?"

"Why does it feel like you've been avoiding me the whole time?"

As she spoke, she lounged lazily against the sofa, looking casual as she crossed her legs and revealed her smooth, rounded legs.

In Chen Xing's eyes, she was indeed unlike her usual imposing self. She looked more like a beautiful mature woman.

But when he thought of the Rakshasa Divine Power within her, and how she might go mad at any moment, he still did not dare say even one unnecessary word.

"Pope—"

"Stop!"

"I'm giving you a new order now. From this day forward, no matter when or where, you are not allowed to call me Pope."

At that, Bibi Dong leaned forward slightly, drawing closer to the boy.

She grabbed his little hand and looked into the eyes that shared her own color with an intensely aggressive gaze.

"From now on, you will call me Teacher. Do you understand?"

"Huh?"

Chen Xing was somewhat at a loss over Bibi Dong's sudden action.

He did not even dare meet her eyes.

He wanted to pull free, but did not dare struggle.

Bibi Dong took in every bit of this. Now, she was truly getting angry.

Why?

Why was he so afraid of her?

Was she really that ugly or frightening-looking?

With the boy's hand still trapped in hers, she directly pulled him to within an extremely close distance.

Pressing both hands onto Chen Xing's shoulders, she demanded.

"Tell me now. Why are you afraid of me?"

"What did I do to you?"

Forced into place by her, Chen Xing had no choice but to look directly into Bibi Dong's eyes.

At that moment, he was utterly speechless.

What did she do to him?

On his first day here, she had threatened him in front of so many people, practically ready to kill him if he dared join the Worship Hall.

She wanted to kill him. What else was there to say?

But he could only think those words. If she really wanted him to say them aloud, he would wait until he became a Title Douluo.

So in the end, he still told a lie.

"Teacher, I'm naturally socially anxious."

"I'm slow to warm up! I'm like this with strangers..."

"Maybe I'll be better after we've known each other longer."

Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

That reason was somewhat believable, but hearing it from this little brat still felt strange.

She had previously sent people to investigate Chen Xing's background. Surprisingly, he seemed to have appeared out of nowhere.

The earliest information they could trace was Sword Douluo seriously wounding him in Star Dou Forest. There was nothing before that.

Moreover, according to her informants, Ye Lanyi of the Ye Clan was also investigating Chen Xing's background.

Logically speaking, he was merely a patient. Why would Ye Lanyi care about his identity?

The last news she had heard regarding the Ye Clan was that a child named Ye Lingling had awakened the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul.

After that, the continent's most renowned healing Soul Master family had shown no further activity.

Could he really be connected to the Ye Clan?

At that thought, Bibi Dong's gaze toward Chen Xing grew even more serious.

"What is your relationship with Ye Lanyi of the Ye Clan?"

Hearing that name again, Chen Xing was slightly taken aback.

"What relationship?"

"None at all! Sword Douluo accidentally injured me before, and the Ye Clan Head treated me."

"After that, His Highness Xue Qinghe took me away..."
