Meeting of the Lord and Lady

"Esteemed lords, could you allow me a word with my grandson?" It was at this moment that Old Jack suddenly spoke up.

"Hm? You may." Yue Guan was somewhat surprised, but he still agreed, then walked out with Ghost.

"Xiao Yu, you go to Martial Soul City on your own. You know your grandfather can't leave Holy Soul Village. How could I go with you to Martial Soul City? That place is a sacred ground for soul masters; I'm just an ordinary man, and I'd feel out of place there. Staying in Martial Soul City wouldn't be as free and easy as staying in Holy Soul Village." Old Jack looked at Lin Yu before him and smiled with pride.

But in the end, Old Jack still refused Lin Yu's proposal.

"Alright, Grandfather, then I won't try to persuade you. But if anything comes up, please ask the Martial Soul Hall in Notting City to send me a letter, and I'll definitely help you." Lin Yu knew he couldn't force Old Jack, so he agreed.

After that, the two who had reached an understanding walked out of the house.

"All settled?" Yue Guan looked at the pair before him and asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm willing to go to Martial Soul City with you two. As for Grandfather, let him stay in Holy Soul Village. But I hope the Martial Soul Hall in Notting City will take care of him for me." Even though Lin Yu agreed to go to Martial Soul City, he still put forward his conditions.

"Rest assured, nothing will happen to your grandfather." Yue Guan looked at Lin Yu with delight.

"In that case, can we head to Martial Soul City now?" Yue Guan directly took Lin Yu's small hand.

"But my grandfather still..." Lin Yu hesitated.

Lin Yu knew that once they returned, Old Jack would try to persuade Tang San to attend Notting City's Elementary Soul Master Academy. But after just a few words about Tang Hao, Tang San would drive Old Jack away, disregarding all the years of care he had received. He didn't want Old Jack to suffer such treatment.

"Don't worry, I still know the way back to Holy Soul Village. I'm not so old that I've forgotten the road." Old Jack shook his head with a smile, signaling Lin Yu not to worry.

"Since that's the case, I'll go with you." Seeing Old Jack so resolute, Lin Yu no longer insisted.

"Alright, let's go." With that, Yue Guan directly lifted Lin Yu and flew off, speeding toward Martial Soul City.

A Titled Douluo could already achieve brief flight, so their travel speed was quite fast.

"What's wrong? Reluctant to leave?" Perhaps Lin Yu's expression was too obvious, causing Yue Guan to notice something off on his face.

"No." Lin Yu was startled awake by Yue Guan's voice and shook his head.

What Lin Yu had been thinking was, 'What a pity, I won't get to see the scene of Tang San meeting that rabbit.' 'But, seeing it or not doesn't matter; it won't be long before we meet again anyway.' Lin Yu gazed down at Notting City below.

"Don't worry, your grandfather is under the care of Martial Soul Hall; nothing will go wrong. Besides, it's not like you can never come back—you'll see him again." Seeing Lin Yu shake his head, Yue Guan assumed he was just putting on a brave face and couldn't help but chuckle.

Yue Guan and Ghost were very fast. With the two of them taking turns, they managed to return to Martial Soul City in the same amount of time as before.

"Ahead is Martial Soul City." Yue Guan looked at the majestic city before them and proudly introduced it to Lin Yu.

Martial Soul City was the sacred land in the hearts of all soul masters on the continent, a city of miracles nestled between the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo! Neither empire held any claim over it.

Within Martial Soul City stood the most revered structures of Martial Soul Hall: the Pope Hall, the Douluo Hall, and the Elder Hall.

"Let's go, His Holiness the Pope is already waiting for you." After speaking, Yue Guan directly led Lin Yu toward Martial Soul City.

"Your Holiness, Lin Yu has been brought here." Outside the Pope Hall, Yue Guan did not enter directly but first announced their presence.

"Come in, let me see this possessor of Innate Full Soul Power." Bibi Dong's cool voice rang out in their ears.

Hearing this, Yue Guan dared to lead Lin Yu inside.

As soon as he entered the Pope Hall, Lin Yu's gaze was deeply drawn to Bibi Dong seated in the main position.

It wasn't just Lin Yu; even Bibi Dong on the main seat felt the same. For some reason, the moment Lin Yu appeared before her, a surge of desire welled up in Bibi Dong's heart.

That desire was to engage in the most primal acts with the child before her, to bear offspring, and then to devour him afterward.

Meanwhile, Lin Yu also felt a surge of desire rising within him, but unlike Bibi Dong's, his was a longing to be devoured by her.

When he clearly sensed this urge transmitted from his body, not only Lin Yu but even the Titled Douluo Bibi Dong broke out in a cold sweat.

"Damn it, what kind of thought is this? Why is my mind involuntarily producing such an idea?" Sensing the inexplicable instinct emanating from his body, Lin Yu quickly lowered his head, not daring to look at Bibi Dong again.

But Bibi Dong did not do the same. Instead, she suppressed her discomfort and carefully examined Lin Yu before her.

Devouring was not unfamiliar to Bibi Dong; after all, her martial soul possessed such an ability. However, since she began cultivating, Bibi Dong had only devoured one person—her teacher, the previous Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Qian Xunji.

Although Bibi Dong knew that devouring Lin Yu would bring her unimaginable benefits, she would not do so.

"Lift your head, release your martial soul, and let me see it." Bibi Dong's commanding voice echoed in Lin Yu's ears.

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Lin Yu did not hesitate much. Even though he had already guessed that the strange feeling from his body was due to his martial soul, he still revealed it.

However, Lin Yu only displayed his martial soul without raising his head.

As Lin Yu's martial soul appeared, the sensation between them grew even stronger.

"Do you know the name of your martial soul?" Bibi Dong now took note of the full appearance of Lin Yu's martial soul, but even she did not recognize what it was. This was the first time she had seen such a martial soul.

"Undying Emperor Spider!" Lin Yu spoke the name of his martial soul.

"The name is quite imposing." Bibi Dong nodded. She had no doubt about the power of Lin Yu's martial soul, as she could feel from the signals of her own martial soul that Lin Yu's seemed to faintly suppress her two martial souls.

"Yue Guan!" Bibi Dong no longer looked at Lin Yu but turned her gaze to Yue Guan.

"Spread the word: Lin Yu is now my disciple, and I will personally teach him." Bibi Dong's gaze hardened, as if she had made a great decision.

Ever since enduring what Qian Xunji had done to her, Bibi Dong had come to despise men intensely—but Lin Yu was different.

He possessed the same top-tier spider-type martial soul as her own. She was the most suitable teacher for Lin Yu, and his talent was worthy of her taking him as a disciple to instruct personally.

After all, Innate Full Soul Power—how many in the entire history of the Douluo Continent had ever appeared with such a gift?

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yue Guan showed clear shock.

He and Ghost had been by Bibi Dong's side for a long time and knew certain things, which was why he was so stunned. Still, Yue Guan promptly responded to Bibi Dong.

"Very well, you may go. First, prepare a residence for Lin Yu." After arranging Yue Guan's task, Bibi Dong waved her hand, signaling the two to leave.

"Undying Emperor Spider? What a tremendous temptation." Bibi Dong watched Lin Yu's retreating back and licked her lips.
