Bibi Dong suddenly woke up, jumped out of bed with bare feet, and walked around the room - there was nothing on the table, cabinet, windowsill... there was nothing.
Just when she was getting a little anxious, she caught a glimpse of something on the dressing table from the corner of her eye.
It was an iris hairpin carved from white jade.
Bibi Dong was startled, then walked over and gently picked up the hairpin.
An idea suddenly flashed through my mind.
"Teacher has been here?"
Her heart skipped a beat, she grabbed the hairpin and rushed out of the room.
The maid who was wiping the railing outside the door was startled. "Saintess Hall, sir, are you awake?"
"Who sent me back last night?"
The maid blinked, with a slight smile on her face, "It's His Holiness the Pope, he came back with you in his arms last night."
Hug, hugged me back?!
Bibi Dong's face suddenly turned red.
"He... when did he leave? Did he say anything?"
"Your Majesty stayed for a while and then left."
Hearing this, the corners of Bibi Dong's mouth raised uncontrollably, and a small firework exploded in his heart, crackling with sweet light.
But the next second, she suddenly froze.
Wait.
Flowers on the table.
So... where's the ring?
She turned around and rushed back to the room, throwing herself at the table. The jewelry box was still there.
It's over.
I'm afraid my ring will be seen.
What did the teacher look like when he opened the box?
Surprised? Doubtful? Or...
"Ah--!" She covered her face, "It's so embarrassing..."
But as I covered it, I couldn't help but look at the hairpin.
"So... teacher, is this a gift for me?"
Bibi Dong buried his face in his palms, but he couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.
"Saintess Hall, His Holiness the Pope is waiting for you outside the hall."
The maid's voice suddenly came from outside the door
"He... is outside?"
"Did you say anything happened?"
"My majesty only said that I want to see you."
"I'm just waiting outside now."
Wait?
Bibi Dong stood up, walked to the window, and peeked out through the gap in the curtain.
Outside, Qian Xunji was dressed in plain white gold-patterned clothes, standing with his hands behind his back.
Bibi Dong retreated into the room, leaning against the wall.
"Let him... wait at the door for a moment."
"I'll be here in a minute."
"Yes." The maid responded and left.
Bibi Dong took a long breath.
What to do?
She looked down at the simple pajamas she was wearing.
No, it's too casual.
Then, she turned to the closet and opened the door.
There were a dazzling array of dresses, but she picked them up and put them down one by one.
This one is too formal, that one is too plain, the other one is too showy...
Finally, my eyes fell on a white short skirt.
Simple tailoring, the waistline is just right, and the skirt only reaches the thigh.
She blushed, but took it out anyway.
Then came the accessories, she put on black knee-length stockings.
The diamond high heels made a crisp sound when she stepped on the ground. She turned around in the mirror, yes, they were very stable.
Sitting back in front of the dressing table, she began to put on makeup... After putting on makeup, she finally picked up the hosta and carefully inserted it into her bun at an angle. She looked in the mirror and looked at it.
Bibi Dong in the mirror has delicate eyebrows, a faint blush on her cheeks, and a look of apprehension and expectation on her face.
She stood up, turned around in front of the mirror, and straightened her chest.
"Not bad."
Then, her eyes fell on the jewelry box on the dressing table.
She hesitated for three seconds, then grabbed the ring.
"Saintess Hall, are you okay?" the maid's voice sounded again.
"Okay!"
She opened the door and walked out to the Saintess Hall.
"Teacher."
Qian Xunji turned around when he heard the sound, his expression was stunned, and he looked up and down.
"Teacher, what are you looking at?"
"Look at you, Dong'er looks really good today."
Bibi Dong raised his chin and hummed again. "Didn't I look good yesterday?"
"It looks good too."
He approached slowly and stopped a step away, his eyes still falling on her face.
"It's just that you look better today than you did yesterday, but not as good-looking as you tomorrow."
Bibi Dong blushes shyly.
"Teacher!"
She reached out and poked his chest, "You are so... glib now."
Qian Xunji took the hand she poked at.
"I only talk glibly to you."
Bibi Dong turned away, but did not withdraw his hand.
In fact, she couldn't bear to withdraw.
"Humph, I still remember what you lied to me about last time."
"I remember it just right."
Qian Xunji took her hand and walked out, "I will tell you in a moment what I lied to you and why."
"Huh?" Bibi Dong was led away by him, a little confused, "Can't you say it now?"
"Can't."
"Take you somewhere."
"What place?"
"I want to go see Ling Yuan and Xiao Xi..."
"They're fine."
"And now that we are staying together, you shouldn't join in the fun."
"Stay together?"
"Well, so don't bother."
Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, then understood something and smiled like an aunt.
So...Xiao Xi and Ling Yuan?
She still wanted to ask, but Qian Xunji had already pulled her through the corridor and came to the empty courtyard behind the Pope Palace.
Then, she saw something she had never seen before.
Huge colorful spheres hang from rattan hanging baskets.
Bibi Dong opened his eyes wide.
"Teacher, what is this?"
She let go of Qian Xunji's hand and unconsciously walked towards that wonderful big guy.
Qian Xunji followed her. "This is Hot Air Balloon, a vehicle that can fly into the sky."
Fly into the sky.
Bibi Dong's purple eyes lit up.
She walked around the hanging basket and touched the rattan body with her hands.
"Where did you buy this?"
Qian Xunji had already walked to the hanging basket and took out several metal cans from Storage Soul Tool: "My friends gave these to me, and then I assembled them."
Although "friend" refers to the system.
Bibi Dong Big Eye opened his eyes in surprise. "Teacher is pretending?"
"Hmm." Qian Xunji didn't say much, just opened the jar and started operating.
After finishing his work, Qian Xunji stretched out his hand to her.
"Want to come up?"
Bibi Dong put his hand on it without hesitation.
When he helped her step into the hanging basket, she discovered that it was covered with thick cushions and there was a food and drink basket in the corner.
Qian Xunji also stepped in and stood beside her.
"Ready?"
Bibi Dong nodded vigorously and grabbed his sleeves.
The igniter spits out flames, and the heat wave formed by the flames surges upward, and the colorful sac begins to slowly bulge.
Like an inverted flower bud, blooming in the heat, the hanging basket sways gently.
Bibi Dong subconsciously grasped Qian Xunji's arm. "It... it's moving!"
"Don't be afraid."
Then, the whole world began to rise.
One inch, two inches, one foot... the ground gradually moved away, and Spirit Hall's house became smaller and smaller.
At this time, the patrolling guards stopped, and the Soul Masters on the Training Ground raised their heads, and everyone looked at the strange sight they had never seen before.
"Then, what is that?" a young guard asked.
"I don't know."
"Look, His Holiness the Pope and Saintess Hall are on top!" the sharp-eyed Soul Master exclaimed.
"Teacher... are we really flying?"
Qian Xunji looked down at her, "Well, do you like it?"
Bibi Dong nodded repeatedly, "I like it! But can't the teacher just fly directly? Why do you still need to use this?"
"Stupid, of course it feels different."
"Yes, so... the place the teacher said he wanted to take me to is Sky Camp?"
"No, you will know soon."
"You are so mysterious and mysterious, it arouses my appetite."
"Want your appetite? Then let's eat something to satisfy your craving."
