Spirit Hall.
Looking at the photo Lin Qingmo had sent and his message saying he was going to the Soul Hunting Forest.
Bibi Dong's lips curved into a faint smile.
Through the outline of the distant mountains in the background of Lin Qingmo's photo.
She had already roughly determined his current location.
"A-Qing... blue hair, blue eyes, Innate Full Soul Power, and a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone..."
Bibi Dong murmured to herself.
"You've finally started showing some promise, and you meet the standard now."
"A-Qing, I'm looking forward to our first meeting."
Bibi Dong said softly.
There was a trace of anticipation in her tone.
Soul Hunting Forest.
Lin Qingmo spent more than a day flying and walking before finally reaching its entrance.
It was located four hundred li northeast of Nuoding City.
Imperial troops guarded it and recorded the distribution of spirit beasts.
Entry required a specific pass issued by Spirit Hall.
Before him stood the two guards stationed there.
"Kid, if you want to enter the Soul Hunting Forest, you must present a Spirit Hall token. Otherwise, you can't enter."
The guard on the left spoke expressionlessly, his tone brooking no argument.
"May I ask where I can get a token?"
Lin Qingmo naturally knew he needed a token.
The teachers at Notting Academy had them.
The guard glanced at him and kindly reminded him, "You can obtain a token by joining Spirit Hall at one of its branch halls. Or someone who already has a token can bring you in, or you can pay to hire a soul hunting group."
"Hmm..."
Lin Qingmo pondered slightly.
Under the current circumstances, hiring a soul hunting group seemed like the best option.
But he would also have to consider the price and whether the group was reliable.
Just then.
"He's with me."
A cold female voice suddenly sounded behind him.
The voice was as biting as ice.
Yet it carried an indescribable authority that inspired instinctive reverence.
"?"
Lin Qingmo froze.
He turned around.
A woman in a loose black robe was standing behind him, though he had no idea when she had arrived.
The hood of her robe concealed most of her face.
Only a snowy-white chin and beautifully shaped lips were visible.
Her features could not be seen clearly.
The woman was tall and slender.
As her black robe fluttered in the wind, she radiated an aura that warned strangers to keep away.
When the two guards saw the woman.
They sensed that her aura was unfathomable.
Their expressions immediately turned respectful.
The woman took a black token from her sleeve.
After carefully examining it, the guard hurriedly returned it with both hands.
He bowed and said, "So you are my lady's companion. Forgive our disrespect. Please enter, both of you."
The woman took back her token.
"What? Aren't you going in?"
Her voice drifted lightly, carrying a barely noticeable hint of amusement.
"..."
Lin Qingmo hesitated for a moment.
He did not know this woman.
Nor did he know why she was helping him.
But right now, this was a good opportunity to enter the Soul Hunting Forest.
And since she could produce a high-ranking Spirit Hall token, her identity was certainly far from ordinary.
"Thank you, Elder Sister!"
Lin Qingmo immediately put on an obedient smile.
He hurried after the woman into the Soul Hunting Forest.
Inside the Soul Hunting Forest.
Ancient trees towered overhead.
Their branches and leaves were lush.
Sunlight could barely penetrate them.
Making the air feel somewhat damp.
The two walked side by side.
They remained silent the whole way.
Only their footsteps and the chirping of insects and birds filled the surroundings.
Lin Qingmo wanted several times to ask about the woman's identity, but held himself back.
Until they had walked for nearly half an hour.
Lin Qingmo finally could not help carefully speaking up.
"Big Sister, thank you for helping me just now."
"My name is Lin Qingmo. Qing as in clear, and Mo as in silent."
"Big Sister, what's your name? Why did you help me?"
The woman stopped walking.
The shadow beneath her hood obscured her eyes.
Lin Qingmo could only see the faint curve of her lips.
"Eastern Emperor."
The woman's voice remained cold as she calmly spoke those two words.
"Eastern Emperor?"
That name...
Wasn't that name way too domineering?
He had reread the Douluo Continent plot so many times.
Yet he had never heard of any big shot with that name.
Could she be some hidden powerhouse outside the novel?
Lin Qingmo was filled with doubt.
But he still put on an innocent expression.
He tilted up his little face and asked:
"Sister Eastern Emperor, your name sounds so nice!"
"But why did you help me? Did we know each other before?"
Eastern Emperor looked at his large blue silver eyes.
This little fellow is quite good at pretending.
Only after a moment of silence did she slowly say:
"I have a younger brother who looks a lot like you."
"Younger brother?"
Lin Qingmo blinked.
Waiting for her to continue.
"Mm."
Eastern Emperor's voice carried a barely perceptible sorrow.
"Unfortunately, he is gone."
"..."
Lin Qingmo understood instantly.
It seemed Sister Eastern Emperor had mistaken him for a substitute for her younger brother.
He did not dare ask further.
Afraid of bringing up her painful memories.
So he could only comfort her obediently:
"Sister Eastern Emperor, don't be sad."
"If you don't mind, I can be your younger brother!"
Of course, it was only a joke to ease the heavy atmosphere.
Eastern Emperor looked at his obedient appearance, and a flicker of amusement passed through her eyes.
"Rather than becoming my younger brother, you should become my disciple."
"I can teach you how to cultivate and make you the most powerful Soul Master on Douluo Continent."
"Disciple?"
He was stunned!
Lin Qingmo had never imagined that this mysterious Sister Eastern Emperor would want to take him as her disciple!
"But..."
But the teacher he wanted had to be someone powerful enough to rely on!
Just as he was thinking of how to decline tactfully.
Boom—!
A vast surge of Soul Power erupted from Bibi Dong's body.
Her black robe billowed without wind.
Nine Spirit Rings slowly rose from beneath her feet and floated behind her, forming a spectacular array.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red!
The nine Spirit Rings radiated overwhelming pressure.
The surrounding grass and trees bent beneath that pressure.
The distant spirit beasts fled in terror.
Nine rings... a T-Title Douluo!
Lin Qingmo's eyes widened instantly.
His little mouth was wide enough to fit an egg inside.
He had never dreamed that the random big sister he had encountered would be a Title Douluo!
And a powerful Title Douluo with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring at that!
Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red—such a Spirit Ring configuration was simply heaven-defying for this era of Douluo Continent!
"Well? Are you willing to take me as your master now?"
Eastern Emperor's voice carried a faint smile, and the pressure she emitted had lessened considerably.
After only 0.001 seconds of thought.
Lin Qingmo dropped to his knees with a thud!
He respectfully kowtowed to Bibi Dong.
Then shouted, "Sister Eastern Emperor! No, Master Eastern Emperor!"
"Your disciple, Lin Qingmo, greets Master!"
A satisfied smile curved the lips beneath the woman's black hood.
This little fellow had not disappointed her after all.
After kowtowing, Lin Qingmo was overjoyed.
With such a formidable Title Douluo as his master.
Wouldn't he be able to strut sideways across Douluo Continent from now on?
He impatiently summoned the Chat Group Light Screen, wanting to share this tremendous news with his "family" in the group.
[Daddy Douluo]: Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!
He sent three consecutive "Holy shit" messages.
Fully expressing his excitement and exhilaration.
[Green Green Grass]: What... happened?
[A Rogue Rabbit]: What's going on?
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Why are you, kid, even cruder than I am? Can't you show a little class?
[Daddy Douluo]: Brothers—no, sisters—I'm taking off! This time, I'm really taking off!
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, you have a flying soul skill. We know that. Are you flying in the sky again?
Xiao Wu replied blankly, completely missing Lin Qingmo's point.
[Daddy Douluo]: Not that kind of taking off. I've latched onto a thigh! An insanely thick thigh!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A thigh?
[A Rogue Rabbit]: Whose thigh? Is it a girl's? A-Qing, you...
Xiao Wu's train of thought was always so bizarre.
[Daddy Douluo]: Tsk, what is wrong with the way you all think? You're making it impossible for me to show off in the group chat!
[Daddy Douluo]: Let me tell you, I just took a master in the Soul Hunting Forest.
[Daddy Douluo]: And the other party is a Title Douluo!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: ???
[A Rogue Rabbit]: ?
[Green Green Grass]: ...
