"Twelve years old..."
He silently repeated the number in his heart, a burning light igniting in his eyes.
Once his martial soul underwent its second awakening and this body matured, he would make these two arrogant women understand what true bone-eroding, soul-stealing ecstasy really was.
What a true peerless assault was!
Then, they would willingly open their shells, letting him take the pearl and play with it to his heart's content! Qian Renxue turned over unconsciously in her sleep, revealing her slender neck. Mu Junyu leaned down and left a light kiss on that patch of skin, wanting to leave a hickey, but after a moment's thought... he decided against it.
'Qian Renxue.'
He whispered softly.
"Just wait five more years... and I will devour you~"
Five years from now, he would personally tear apart all her pride, making those golden eyes that always looked down upon the world cloud over with intoxicating desire for him.
He would make Bibi Dong bloom in the most unreserved way for him upon the highest throne in the Pope Palace.
Thinking of this, Mu Junyu's breathing grew heavy of its own accord.
He forced himself to look away and climbed out of bed with light, stealthy steps.
The moonlight outside the window was exceptionally bright.
Mu Junyu stood before the window, his purple eyes flickering with desire and calculations far beyond his years.
"Teacher... Sister Xue..."
He smiled silently.
"When the time comes, don't blame me for being too greedy..."
"Rest assured, once you become my women, I will treat you well, hehe~"
The night breeze brushed past, carrying the fragrance of the garden in the distance.
Mu Junyu took a deep breath, suppressing the heat churning within him.
Turning to glance at the sleeping Qian Renxue, he transformed into a pool of venom and slid out of the room without a sound.
There was still so much preparation to be done.
Five years was enough time for him to cast a net from which that noble mother and daughter would never be able to escape.
Under the moonlight, the boy's figure was stretched long, casting a shadow filled with ambition.
Chapter 25 Complete, Shura Field
On the seventh day before his departure, as night fell, Mu Junyu snuck into the Pope's bedchamber as usual.
Bibi Dong was combing her long hair in front of the mirror, her purple silk robe loosely tied, revealing her beautifully defined collarbones.
When the boy's figure was reflected in the mirror, her fingertips trembled imperceptibly.
"Teacher~"
Mu Junyu wrapped his arms around her from behind, the venom seeping silently into the silk.
"Which meridian are we cultivating today?" Bibi Dong let out a soft hum, the corners of her eyes in the mirror already flushed with a faint red: "Will you actually listen to me?"
"Hee hee~"
The boy's laughter was cloyingly sweet, the venom moving like a living creature.
The jade comb in Bibi Dong's hand fell to the floor with a "clatter," and the mirror surface clouded over with a layer of mist.
The Heart-Eroding Venom precisely enveloped the areas where her "soul power" was restless, and the sensation, more lingering than ever before, made her arch her feet.
On the luxurious carpet, the purple silk robe spread out in layers like withered petals.
"I already know all of Teacher's weaknesses~"
Mu Junyu's breath was hot against her ear, the Venom Cultivation Technique vibrating at a subtle frequency.
Bibi Dong bit her lip to hold back a whimper, her fingertips scratching against the vanity.
Suddenly, all the sensations of the cultivation intensified, and she finally broke down into sobs.
"Slower... slower..."
The boy, however, intensified his "cultivation techniques" even further.
"Teacher, I know you're just saying the opposite of what you mean!"
Bibi Dong's heart trembled at Mu Junyu's words.
The mirror reflected her dazed expression, the dignity of the Pope completely vanished.
When the cycle of soul power cultivation was complete, Bibi Dong was already lying on her side on the couch, her breathing long and steady, her cheeks flushed.
Inside her silk robe, her skin was covered in the new texture of the Symbiosis venom.
Mu Junyu exited his venom state and kissed her sweat-dampened temple.
"Teacher smells so good, I could never get enough of it for a lifetime~"
The response to him was a shy, angry glare from the Pope, but as her gaze rippled, it was clear that her heart had long been soaked through by the Heart-Eroding Venom, turning it into a pool of surging, amorous desire.
After these dozen days of effort, Bibi Dong's affection level had reached 75.
The system spoke up.
[Whenever the affection level of a goddess-tier beauty reaches 100%, a mysterious gift package will be obtained.]
This made Mu Junyu feel very tempted!
If Mu Junyu were an adult now, he would surely have already begun the grand task of procreating with Bibi Dong, but alas, what a pity.
Just then...
The heavy, carved wooden doors of the bedchamber were pushed open by her.
Qian Renxue stood at the doorway, the fruit platter she had been carrying clattering to the floor, sending crystal-clear fruit rolling everywhere.
Her amber pupils contracted violently, staring fixedly at the shocking scene before her.
She had originally intended to try and improve her relationship with her mother before leaving. Her mother, the majestic Pope Bibi Dong, was lying on her side on the silk couch, her clothes in disarray. Her purple silk sleeping robe had slipped loosely, revealing a large expanse of snow-white skin and graceful curves. Her beautiful face was flushed with an unusual rosy glow, her eyes were hazy, her lips were slightly parted, and she was emitting soft, sweet, and sticky sounds.
And that Mu Junyu, whom she had assumed was being coerced, was actually leaning in intimately, lightly kissing Bibi Dong's sweat-dampened temple. Bibi Dong's posture was filled with possessiveness and... enjoyment?
A surge of hot blood rushed straight to the top of Qian Renxue's head.
"You...! What are you doing?!"
Her voice trembled sharply from extreme shock and anger, her fingers digging fiercely into the doorframe.
In her simple and fixed perception, this could absolutely not be the voluntary action of a seven-year-old child!
It must be... it must be Bibi Dong!
It was her depraved mother, using her status and authority as a teacher to force and seduce her own disciple!
Thinking back to how Mu Junyu always mentioned Bibi Dong when they practiced together, she felt certain that this was all taught by Bibi Dong!
It was all to satisfy her own unspeakable, selfish desires!
"Mother!" Qian Renxue's voice was filled with unbelievable heartache and the fury of betrayal.
"You... you actually did this to Junyu... he is still just a child! How could you... how could you force him to do such a thing?!"
She practically roared, her gaze piercing like a sharp sword toward Bibi Dong, who seemed not yet fully recovered from her passion on the couch.
She completely viewed the seemingly "innocent" Mu Junyu on the side as a coerced victim. Bibi Dong was jolted into complete sobriety by this sudden roar, her hazy purple eyes instantly regaining their clarity.
When she saw the furious Qian Renxue at the door, shame and panic instantly overwhelmed her, but the dignity of having long held the position of Pope made her instinctively choose defense and reprimand.
"Presumptuous!"
Bibi Dong pulled her slipping robe tight and sat upright, attempting to mask the turbulent waves in her heart with a cold voice.
"Who allowed you to barge into the bedchamber without being announced? Get out!"
Her cheeks still bore a lingering flush, making the reprimand sound lacking in conviction; instead, it sounded more like the embarrassed anger of someone caught in the act.
"I am presumptuous?"
Qian Renxue was shaking with anger, pointing at Mu Junyu while glaring daggers at Bibi Dong.
"You did this to him, and you call me presumptuous? Mother! Look at yourself right now! Are you still that high and mighty Pope?! You are simply... shameless!"
She practically gritted her teeth to squeeze out the last four words.
"You!"
Bibi Dong's face turned deathly pale. Being accused like this by her own daughter, especially in front of Mu Junyu, caused her heart to burn with rage and distress.
Seeing the conflict about to escalate, Mu Junyu immediately stepped forward, blocking the space between the two, his face showing a timely expression of anxiety and earnestness.
"Sister Xue! It's not like that! You've misunderstood!"
He turned to Qian Renxue, explaining with an urgent tone.
"It was me! I was the one who insisted on pestering Teacher to help me with my cultivation! Teacher was just... she couldn't refuse me... everything is my fault, don't blame Teacher!"
As he spoke, he secretly winked at Bibi Dong, signaling her to go along with his story.
This "defense" sounded to the enraged Qian Renxue more like a helpless excuse made under duress, an attempt to cover for the abuser!
"Junyu! You're still speaking up for her even now?!"
Qian Renxue was anxious and furious; she grabbed Mu Junyu and pulled him behind her, as if Bibi Dong were some kind of terrifying monster.
"Did she threaten you? Did she force you to say this? Don't be afraid, I'm here!"
Her gaze toward Bibi Dong became even colder and more disgusted, filled with distrust and contempt.
Mu Junyu inwardly cried out "this is bad"—Qian Renxue had completely misinterpreted the situation! Just as he was about to speak again, Bibi Dong had already been thoroughly stung by the undisguised contempt in Qian Renxue's eyes.
"Get out!"
Bibi Dong pointed toward the palace door, her voice trembling slightly from anger and hurt, while the powerful soul power fluctuations around her leaked out uncontrollably, causing the curtains in the hall to dance wildly.
"Get out, all of you!"
Qian Renxue sneered, gripping Mu Junyu's wrist tightly.
"We're leaving! Junyu, stay away from her!" Without waiting for a response, she dragged Mu Junyu along and turned to walk out.
Mu Junyu was pulled away by force, looking back at Bibi Dong.
He saw her standing all alone in the center of the opulent bedchamber, her face pale, biting her lower lip. Those violet eyes, usually so majestic, were now filled with unspeakable embarrassment, pain, repression, and a hint of... grievance at being misunderstood.
[Bibi Dong affection -5%, currently 70%.]
[Qian Renxue affection +15%, currently 35%. Status: Pity, protective instinct, anger and resentment toward her mother.]

Chapter 26: Enlightening Qian Renxue
The heavy doors of the bedchamber slammed shut behind Qian Renxue with a "bang," cutting off all sound from the outside and casting Bibi Dong into a state of deathly, icy silence. She sat stiffly on the edge of the bed; the robe that had been pulled tight earlier now hung loose, revealing skin that still bore the traces of intimacy, though it now felt nothing but cold.
The chamber remained as luxurious as ever, with candles flickering and warm jade emitting mist, yet none of it could dispel the immense void and chill that suddenly surged in her heart.
The look of disdain and anger in Qian Renxue's eyes was like a poisoned ice pick, ruthlessly piercing through the pride and defenses she had tried so hard to maintain.
Her daughter's words, "shameless," echoed repeatedly in her mind, every syllable carrying a sharp resonance that made her eardrums ache and her chest tighten.
She slowly raised her hand, her fingertips unconsciously brushing the temple where Mu Junyu had kissed her just moments ago, where a trace of the youth's unique warmth seemed to linger.
But the next second, this warmth was smothered by an even deeper cold and fear.
"What... what on earth am I doing..."
She murmured to herself, her voice hoarse and hollow.
