Four days later, Bibi Dong arrived once more, only to find Ye Xuan and Hu Liena still tangled up together in the room, which filled her with immense fury.
This was the golden period for their cultivation; even with their exceptional talents, they absolutely could not afford to squander their training time like this.
However, the problem was that Ye Xuan and Hu Liena showed no signs of stopping. To prevent any accidents, she simply sat down in the center of the courtyard to regulate her breath and cultivate.
Five days later--
Six days later--
Seven days later--
A vein pulsed on Bibi Dong's forehead, and it was clear she was far from pleased.
It was at this moment that the sound of rustling and bathing drifted out from the room.
I do not know how much time had passed.
Hu Liena's voice, sounding slightly weak and tinged with shyness, drifted out from the washroom.
"Junior brother, you have worked hard these past few days."
Half an hour later, Ye Xuan finished tidying up the room and replaced the damaged furniture.
But before he could even open the window, he saw the murderous-looking Bibi Dong...
"Ah--! A ghost!!!"
Who could understand?
The sheer terror of finishing a wicked deed only to realize your teacher had been standing right outside the room the entire time.
Not long after.
Bibi Dong sat on the armchair in Ye Xuan's room, while Hu Liena, feeling unwell, leaned against the bed with a pale face.
As for the culprit behind this, Ye Xuan, his situation was much more miserable; forced by his teacher's overwhelming pressure, he had no choice but to kneel on the floor.
Bibi Dong sat with her arms crossed, her expression indifferent as she cast a scrutinizing gaze upon Ye Xuan and Hu Liena.
"Explain yourselves. Why have you two been wallowing in carnal pleasure all day, wasting your talents and this golden window for cultivation?"
Upon hearing her words, the corner of Ye Xuan's eye twitched slightly.
Nevertheless, he recounted the drawbacks of the spirit bone he had fused with, explaining everything in detail.
Ye Xuan knelt with perfect posture. He had noticed Bibi Dong's initial expression and realized it wasn't hard to tell that she had discovered the affair between him and Hu Liena long ago.
Otherwise, she would never have been this angry.
"Teacher, all the faults are mine. Please, punish me!"
But before Ye Xuan could finish, Hu Liena spoke up to defend him.
"Teacher, I know this is absurd, but in the seven days I have spent with my junior brother, my cultivation has broken through from level forty-eight to a level fifty Spirit King."
"Furthermore, junior brother told me the truth from the very beginning, and he never forced me. It was my own choice."
As Hu Liena said this, she felt her cheeks burning with embarrassment.
However, upon hearing Hu Liena's words, Bibi Dong's expression turned extremely strange.
"Seven days?"
Even as the Pope, Bibi Dong found this absurd duration hard to believe.
But soon, she grasped the key point.
"What? Nana, you have broken through to a level fifty Spirit King?!"
Bibi Dong's voice rose by several octaves; she could never have imagined that doing such things could actually increase one's spirit power.
"Yes, Teacher. I have indeed reached the realm of a Spirit King."
Soon, with Ye Xuan and Hu Liena taking the blame for each other, Bibi Dong did not truly punish them.
"Ye Xuan, the Grand Pontiff is already aware of your situation. He may seek to speak with you in a while."
"Yes, thank you for informing me, Teacher."
As Bibi Dong departed, the hearts of Ye Xuan and Hu Liena finally settled.
"Ugh... Teacher's aura is as terrifying as ever."
Hu Liena let her head droop, then slumped back onto the bed.
Ye Xuan, too, climbed onto the bed, his face full of exhaustion. After battling for seven days and seven nights, even he could not withstand such intensity.
More than a month passed quietly.
Ye Xuan and Hu Liena, having tasted the sweetness of their intimacy, had engaged in several more "sparring sessions" during this time.
Outside the Pope Palace.
Hu Liena followed Chrysanthemum Douluo into the carriage bound for the Star Dou Great Forest.
With the help of Ye Xuan, she had broken through to become a level 50 Spirit King ahead of schedule, so she needed to acquire a suitable fifth spirit ring.
"Junior brother, see you in a few days!"
"Mn, see you in a few days."
However, before Ye Xuan could even finish waving goodbye to Hu Liena, he sensed a familiar aura rushing toward him at an incredible speed.
"Ye Xuan, watch out! It's that woman!"
Sky Dream Ice Silkworm, who had been hiding in the Spirit Sea, issued a warning the moment he sensed the threat.
"Might of God!"
Without a moment's hesitation, Ye Xuan instinctively triggered the passive skill attached to his Holy King Soul Bone, instantly shrouding a five-hundred-meter radius around him.
"Boom—"
An invisible pressure descended upon the dark figure, her movements slowing by half a beat due to the suppression of the domain.
"External Soul Bone, Claws of the Holy King!"
Watching the dark figure close in, Ye Xuan acted on pure instinct, driving his sharp claws toward her throat.
The dark figure seemed to sense the threat, her form flickering as she attempted to flee.
Yet, she had ultimately underestimated Ye Xuan; the moment she retreated, the mask concealing her face was torn away, revealing a visage filled with pride and sanctity.
"It's you?!"
Looking at the familiar face standing before him, Ye Xuan immediately recognized her identity.
The "idiot angel" he had beaten to a pulp two years ago, Qian Renxue.
"Heh, I didn't expect that in two years' time, you would have already broken through to level 48 and even fused with a trace of divine charm."
Hearing Qian Renxue's praise, Ye Xuan didn't give her a pleasant look.
"Likewise. I didn't expect that after cultivating for over two years, you would have only just barely broken through to the level 71 Spirit Saint realm."
"To only improve by two levels in over two years—I really don't know how you cultivate. If I had a martial soul as strong as yours, I would have at least broken through to the high-level Spirit Douluo realm by now."
Ye Xuan's two barbs made Qian Renxue's cheeks flush red. Truth be told, she regretted not giving this brat a proper thrashing two years ago.
"You..."
Qian Renxue was furious, wanting to strike at Ye Xuan.
However, seeing this, Ye Xuan simply spread his hands, his posture clearly saying "go ahead if you dare."
"Heh heh, my dear Saintess, don't forget that we are outside the Pope Palace. You should know very well how much trouble it would cause if your martial soul were exposed, right?"
Following Ye Xuan's reminder, Qian Renxue suppressed her urge to release her martial soul and beat him up, feeling extremely displeased.
Seeing this, a wicked smirk tugged at the corner of Ye Xuan's mouth, and he immediately gave Qian Renxue an internationally recognized friendly gesture.

"Heh heh, if you've got the guts, go ahead and release your martial soul to hit me here, you idiot."
