Douluo: The Venom System Is Awesome

Her mind was in a bit of a mess. She had sent Qian Renxue away almost subconsciously just a moment ago, and now, facing Mu Junyu alone, she realized belatedly that her behavior seemed a bit...

Too obvious?

Could she really have been rattled by that brat's nonsense earlier?

She was the dignified Pope; how could she possibly be jealous of her own daughter and... and this little scoundrel? Absolutely impossible!

But how was she supposed to bring it up?

Was she supposed to say, "I was very unhappy to see you being kissed by Xue'er just now"?

She would rather die than say such a thing.

Thus, she could only maintain her papal majesty, staring blankly ahead as if contemplating matters of state, while her mind was actually a tangled mess.

Mu Junyu, meanwhile, was secretly admiring Bibi Dong's profile.

Hmm... Teacher looks truly beautiful when she's being serious.

Her brows were slightly furrowed, her gaze deep, and her red lips pressed tightly together, giving off a cold, distant beauty that kept people at arm's length.

Yet, it made one unable to resist the urge to reach out, to see if there was something else hidden beneath that layer of ice.

His mind raced with various thoughts, wondering how he could get a little closer, a little more intimate; they couldn't just keep standing here in this awkward silence, could it?

"Teacher..."

He spoke up tentatively in a low voice, breaking the silence.

"Hmm?"

Bibi Dong responded subconsciously. Her voice remained cold and clear, but there was a hint of imperceptible tension in the tail end of her tone.

"Are we... going to hunt the soul beast now?"

Mu Junyu chose the safest topic possible.

Hearing that it was business, Bibi Dong breathed a slight sigh of relief, and her tone became more natural. "Yes. What kind of soul beast do you need for your third soul ring? Do you have any ideas?"

"Well, about that..."

Mu Junyu scratched his head, his face showing an expression mixed with longing and uncertainty.

"I saw a peculiar soul beast in a very ancient soul beast encyclopedia at Martial Soul Hall, called the Life Devourer."

He observed Bibi Dong's reaction carefully as he spoke.

"It is said that this soul beast has no fixed form; it gains power and shape by devouring other soul beasts."

"It can mimic and transform into the appearance of any soul beast it has devoured, and it is extremely adept at hiding."

"Its core abilities are 'Devour' and 'Absorb,' allowing it to convert the life force, soul power, and even certain traits of its prey into its own."

He paused, his tone becoming somewhat hesitant.

"However... that book said this soul beast is extremely rare, and because of its unique way of growing through devouring..."

"Once discovered, its age is basically over ten thousand years... Teacher, do you think this kind of soul beast is suitable for my third soul ring? Would it be... too risky?"

Bibi Dong's purple-gold eyes flashed with surprise as she listened to his description. She naturally knew of the existence of such a special soul beast as the Life Devourer; its rarity and danger were extremely high.

It was incredibly difficult to find and hunt.

More importantly, its core devouring attribute was indeed very powerful and rare.

However, precisely because of this, Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

Chapter 59 to be added?

Approaching a ten-thousand-year soul ring as a third ring?

This was simply unheard of!

Even in her own time, her third soul ring was nowhere near the ten-thousand-year level.

Although Mu Junyu's body had been transformed by immortal herbs and was exceptionally resilient.

But the energy impact and soul shock of a ten-thousand-year soul ring were still a fatal test for a level 30 Soul Elder.

"The Life Devourer... it does indeed possess an extremely rare and powerful devouring attribute. If you could successfully absorb it, it might be a perfect match for your Symbiosis martial soul."

Bibi Dong spoke slowly, her tone grave.

"However, Junyu, you must understand that there is a fundamental difference between a ten-thousand-year soul ring and a thousand-year soul ring."

"It not only contains vast energy but also carries a soul shock. One moment of carelessness, and it will result in your soul being scattered."

"With your level 30 soul power, attempting to absorb a ten-thousand-year soul ring, the success rate... is minuscule."

She looked at Mu Junyu, her gaze sharp.

"Are you sure you want to take this risk? Perhaps we could look for a thousand-year soul beast with similar devouring traits; that would be much safer."

Mu Junyu shook his head firmly, his eyes burning with intensity.

"Teacher, I know the risks are high. But... I feel my body can handle it! The transformation from the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb has given me great confidence."

"Besides, if I can obtain a near-ten-thousand-year soul ring and a top-tier attribute like devouring at my third ring, the boost to my future potential will be immense! I don't want to settle!" He raised his head, looking at Bibi Dong with an earnest, slightly stubborn gaze. "Teacher, please, let me try! If it really doesn't work, you can step in to save me!"

"I believe that with you here, I will definitely be fine!"

Bibi Dong looked into those eyes filled with trust and longing, and remembering the perilous yet ultimately successful absorption of the Ice and Fire Immortal Herb, her resolve began to waver.

This brat's constitution truly couldn't be measured by conventional logic...

She remained silent for a moment, finally letting out a soft sigh, as if in resignation or as if she had made a decision.

"Fine. Since you insist, your teacher will gamble on this with you. Although the Life Devourer is rare, under my spiritual sense, it has nowhere to hide."

"Let's go. I hope your luck is as great as your audacity."

Just as Bibi Dong made up her mind and prepared to release her spiritual sense to search for the Life Devourer, her sleeve was suddenly tugged by a gentle force.

She turned her head in confusion, meeting Mu Junyu's eyes, which no longer hid their burning, possessive desire.

That gaze was direct, as if it wanted to pull her entire being inside, carrying a forcefulness that brooked no refusal.

"Teacher..."

Mu Junyu's voice was low and hoarse, carrying a hint of spoiled, sticky sweetness.

"Let's... practice Symbiosis first, okay?"

"Nonsense!"

Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat, and a thin layer of red uncontrollably flushed across her cheeks.

She instinctively wanted to reprimand him.

She had just sent her daughter away because of that inexplicable, vague jealousy, and now she was going to... make up for it? How could this be proper!

However, just as the reprimand reached her lips, she suddenly realized a key issue—

This brat had just absorbed the immortal herb, and his soul power had already reached the thirty-level bottleneck. Without obtaining a soul ring, his soul power could not possibly advance any further, nor did he need to consolidate it through cultivation!

He didn't need any "Symbiosis cultivation" at all right now!

This brat... his true intentions were clearly elsewhere!

What he called "cultivation" was obviously... just wanting to...

Thinking of the intimate contact and the indescribable sensations from those nights when he would pester her to "cultivate,"

Bibi Dong felt a wave of heat rush to her cheeks, and even her earlobes burned. A flash of shame and annoyance crossed her purple-gold eyes, yet under his direct, scorching gaze, her heart skipped a beat for no reason.

"You... your soul power is full, what are you cultivating for!"

She feigned composure, attempting to pull her sleeve away, but her tone lacked its usual icy majesty, carrying instead a trace of imperceptible panic.

"The priority is to find the soul beast, stop this nonsense!"

Mu Junyu gripped her tighter. Far from retreating, he pushed forward, looking up at her with a righteous yet slightly aggrieved expression. "My soul power is full, but... cultivating with Teacher isn't just about soul power! Teacher... I just want to be closer to you... Sister Xue was just sent away by you anyway."

He deliberately mentioned Qian Renxue, his large eyes blinking, filled with an inexplicable meaning.

Bibi Dong: "..."

She felt as if she were about to be defeated by this little brat's logic and gaze.

She knew perfectly well that he was doing this on purpose, acting like a rogue, yet... yet she was completely unsettled by his words about wanting to be close to her and that aggrieved look.

This wicked disciple! It was clearly just an excuse! How could she... how could she let him act so recklessly! But...

Seeing Bibi Dong's eyes flicker and her tone lack any real anger despite the reprimand, Mu Junyu knew he had a chance.

He steeled his heart, no longer giving her a chance to hesitate or refuse!

A purple-black liquid substance surged from the surface of his body, like a living tide, rapidly taking the form of his martial soul symbiont.

It didn't fully cover him, but instead acted like a flexible tentacle, or perhaps a rushing stream, carrying a gentle, irresistible force as it wound directly toward Bibi Dong!

Bibi Dong instinctively wanted to circulate her soul power to shake it off, but the thought of this brat's cultivation level made her fear hurting him.

In that split second of hesitation, the purple-black symbiont had already gently but firmly wrapped around her wrist, her arm, and even attempted to press against her waist...

What made her lose her composure even more was that the moment the symbiont made contact, an extremely familiar, hair-raising, ultimate beauty surged through her entire body like an electric current!

That feeling... when gentle, it was like the finest silk brushing against every inch of her skin, precisely pressing and kneading all her tense meridians.

When it went deeper, it felt as if it were directly soothing her soul, bringing an indescribable sense of peace and intoxication.

This was the result of the past six months, during which Mu Junyu had constantly explored Bibi Dong's weaknesses.

He had long since mastered his own bodily reactions and her vulnerabilities!

He knew exactly what force and method would make her relax the fastest, and even...

Sink into it.

Mmm...

A sound, extremely faint and accompanied by a suppressed groan, nearly escaped from Bibi Dong's throat, and she bit down hard on her lower lip.

Her stunningly beautiful face instantly flushed crimson like a sunset, and even her neck was stained with a layer of pink. Her body subconsciously wanted to resist that damned sense of comfort, yet it honestly softened a few degrees.

After all, those many nights were no joke.

Even though they had gradually turned into a tacit "bedtime ritual" between the two of them...

It felt truly wonderful...

Those nights spent sleeping in each other's arms, the youth's warm body, his steady breathing, and this omnipresent feeling that brought ultimate relaxation and affection...

Chapter 60: I Knew It... Teacher Wouldn't Like Me Like This...

"You... you little pervert... let go quickly!"

Bibi Dong's voice carried a hint of irrepressible trembling; rather than a command, it sounded more like a powerless, coquettish rebuke.

She wanted to push him away, only to find her arms somewhat weak, as if the Symbiosis wrapping around her possessed magic, disintegrating her will bit by bit.

Mu Junyu felt her resistance weaken and was secretly delighted; far from letting go, he instead pushed his luck, controlling the Symbiosis even more aggressively.

Like the most skilled masseur, he began to focus his attention on her most vulnerable spots.

His voice was transmitted through the Symbiosis.

It carried a vague, spoiled tone.

"Teacher... just for a moment... it's good for practicing mental power and control, isn't it~"

Bibi Dong felt as if she were about to be turned dizzy by this scoundrel and this damned sense of comfort.

Her reason told her she had to stop this immediately.

But her body craved this long-lost—or perhaps, always desired—intimacy and relaxation.

It's over... I've been manipulated by this little bastard again...

Qian Renxue... my daughter... what kind of little pervert have you fallen for...
