Douluo: Martial Soul Ghost Emperor of the Wedding Dress, All Soul Beasts Sacrifice

Not long after, thanks to Hu Liena's efforts, the heat in her body gradually subsided.

"Senior brother..."

Hu Liena's voice was faint, her beautiful hair slightly disheveled, and her body soaked through with sweat.

She pursed her lips: "Nana wants more..."

Hearing this.

Su Wen handed the water skin to her.

Hu Liena clutched it to her chest, not satisfied until she had drained every last drop.

Ye Yuan'er rested a hand on her shoulder, probing her condition with soul power, and cautioned: "That is enough, no need for more. She came from an orphanage and her body was naturally frail; supplementing too much at once will only be counterproductive."

"She is already at level ten now, and her physique has improved significantly—at least by a hundred or two hundred years' worth. Anything under five hundred and fifty years is the safest range, though a six-hundred-year soul ring could be attempted, albeit with some risk."

Hu Liena, who had been looking rather weary, perked up instantly upon hearing Ye Yuan'er's words.

What had she just heard? She was already at level ten, and her first soul ring could reach five or six hundred years?!

"Senior brother, what was it that Nana just ate?"

Hu Liena asked curiously.

"I'll tell you later. Let's go get your soul ring first."

Su Wen decided to give Bibi Dong a surprise.

Hu Liena's soul ring would break convention; he wondered what kind of expression Bibi Dong would have.

"Senior brother, but... but Teacher said that if I sneak out..."

Even though her heart was filled with joy, Bibi Dong's warnings still echoed in her ears, making her shrink her neck in fear.

"Uh, let's head back first. You need to change your clothes, too!"

Su Wen bid farewell to Ye Yuan'er and left with Hu Liena.

Ye Yuan'er leaned against the courtyard gate, watching as Hu Liena continued to cling to Su Wen's arm.

She raised an eyebrow slightly, but quickly shook her head.

What am I thinking? They're just little kids!

Ye Yuan'er pulled back her thoughts and turned to walk into the house, but suddenly stopped in her tracks, murmuring to herself:

"But she really does have the potential to become a vixen..."

"No, wait, she seems like a vixen already."

Chapter 18 The tail is very soft

Su Wen led Hu Liena back to her living quarters. The room was much smaller than the Saintess Hall, and Su Wen realized at a glance that this was a side hall of the Saintess Hall, temporarily converted into a bedroom.

There were plenty of clothes in the wardrobe; Bibi Dong was quite attentive to such details.

Su Wen quickly dismissed that thought, remembering his own room was completely empty.

He crossed his arms, grumbling: "Bibi Dong actually favors the sister over the brother!"

Over there, Hu Liena had finished changing and stood before the mirror, observing her body for a moment.

After eating the Whale Glue, her figure seemed much fuller, losing much of that frail, thin appearance.

"Senior brother, does Nana look better now?"

Su Wen was still feeling indignant, but when he turned his head, he found that Hu Liena had activated her martial soul.

She held her fluffy, large tail in her arms, lowering her head to gently nuzzle it with her flushed, rosy face.

Su Wen was stunned for a moment, the adorable scene washing away his bad mood.

"Let senior brother have a turn!"

Su Wen rubbed his hands together, and with a slight nod from Hu Liena's apple-like face, he took the fox tail into his hands.

It was fluffy, soft, and carried a hint of warmth; the texture was excellent.

No wonder Hu Liena liked playing with it herself.

"Senior brother..."

Hu Liena let out a soft moan, and Su Wen saw her looking at him pitifully: "It hurts!"

Su Wen loosened his grip slightly, but he still inexplicably felt like a creepy old man.

Half an hour later, Su Wen and Hu Liena set off for the Pope Hall.

In front of the magnificent Pope Hall, the stairs on both sides were lined with Palace Guard Knights clad in silver armor.

The strict hierarchy was displayed right on their chests.

The weakest among them were Soul Kings, and the higher up the stairs, the stronger they were.

The four guards at the very top were all Soul Emperor-level powerhouses, representing the face of the Pope Hall.

The aura emanating from both sides alone created an invisible sense of oppression.

"Senior brother..."

Hu Liena had never seen such a scene, and the nervousness in her heart immediately surged up.

"It's fine, just follow me."

Su Wen held Ye Yuan'er's Elder Token and led the timid Hu Liena up the steps.

Upon reaching the entrance of the Pope Hall, Su Wen hesitated slightly; he wondered if Bibi Dong would follow them if Hu Liena went to obtain her spirit ring!

If she went, the first spirit ring would be at most four hundred years old.

"What are you two doing standing outside?"

"Hurry up and come in."

Just as Su Wen was contemplating a strategy, Bibi Dong's voice suddenly drifted out from within the Pope Hall.

Clearly, she had already sensed them the moment they stepped onto the stairs.

"Teacher, we have come to pay our respects!"

Su Wen no longer hesitated, pulling Hu Liena along as they strode confidently into the main hall.

The hall was magnificent and opulent, with the main entrance facing the Pope's throne, allowing one to see the high-ranking Pope at a single glance.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was dressed in a tight-fitting purple Pope robe with gold patterns, wearing the Nine-Curved Purple Gold Crown, her wine-red hair tinged with purple and styled in soft curls.

Her long, slender jade legs were encased in pink silk stockings, crossed over one another as she leaned forward against a desk piled high with documents, clearly busy with official business.

Hearing Su Wen's words, her mature face revealed a hint of playfulness: "This is truly a rarity!"

Su Wen's expression turned awkward; it had been so many days, and this was the first time he had come to pay his respects.

He coughed once, took the flowers he had prepared earlier out of his Soul Tool, and smiled broadly: "Teacher, these are flowers that my junior sister and I picked for you."

"Come here!" Bibi Dong's voice was indifferent, revealing neither joy nor anger.

Su Wen pulled Hu Liena closer, placed the flowers on the desk, and then took out the post-battle reflection he had written yesterday.

"Did you write this?"

Bibi Dong took it, looked at the crooked handwriting on it, and asked.

Seeing him nod without blushing, the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth twitched.

"It... it was senior brother..."

Seeing Bibi Dong look at her, Hu Liena panicked, lowered her head slightly, and her voice became stuttering.

Su Wen thought to himself that it was bad; it seemed this little junior sister couldn't lie, her face turning as red as boiling water.

"Forget it!"

Bibi Dong set it aside, and when her gaze inadvertently swept over the flowers, she felt they looked somewhat familiar.

She asked: "Where did you pick these flowers?"

Su Wen replied with a smile: "From Elder Ju's place."

Bibi Dong: "..."

"You picked them well, but don't pick them again next time."

"You two go back first, I will come to teach you later."

Just as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Hu Liena said excitedly: "Teacher, Nana has broken through to level ten!"

"Oh?" Bibi Dong looked surprised; according to her calculations, Hu Liena should have had another half a month.

Bibi Dong checked her and confirmed she was at level ten, a smile appearing on her face: "Faster than I imagined. I will have someone take you to obtain your first spirit ring later. Let your senior brother go along too; he isn't the type to sit still anyway."

Su Wen immediately suggested: "Then I'll take Nana and set off now!"

"Mm, just call any of the Palace Guard Knights outside. He will take you to the nearby Soul Hunting Forest. The spirit beasts inside are under a thousand years old, which is enough to protect you and satisfy the requirements for Nana's first spirit ring."

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, then added a reminder: "Nana's body is better than I imagined; you can try for a four-hundred-year Fire Fox."

Hu Liena's expression went blank for a moment; why was this different from what Teacher and Aunt Ye had said?

"Understood, Teacher."

Su Wen pulled Hu Liena along and turned to leave with a grin.

He couldn't wait to see what expression Bibi Dong would have when he and Hu Liena both broke the limits for their first spirit rings.

"What is your name? What is your martial spirit?"

"Young master, this subordinate is Ao Debiao, martial spirit Blazing Leopard, level fifty-six battle spirit master!"

Su Wen and Hu Liena walked out of the hall and stood before a man who looked pleasant enough.

"Ao Debiao?"

Su Wen had a strange look in his eyes, seeing that the man had delicate features, yet possessed such a rugged name.
