Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Assist
It was Bibi Dong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The young man's arrogant expression vanished. Though he was the son of a count, let alone a count, even a prince would have to think twice before offending the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He promptly fled.
Ah Yin expressed her gratitude. "Thank you for helping me, friend."
Bibi Dong waved her hand and clenched her little fist. "It was nothing. Heaven Dou City is full of toads wanting to eat swan meat. You're just too kind. When dealing with people who refuse to listen to reason, don't hold back. Just hit them."
"Dong'er, he's the son of a count and under the protection of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. This little girl is all alone—how can you tell her to attack so casually?"
A voice as gentle as a spring breeze, one that naturally made people feel favorably inclined, rang out. The only person who would call Bibi Dong Dong'er and possess such a voice was Ning Fengzhi. Sword Douluo stood quietly at his side, protecting him.
Ning Fengzhi had originally come out to handle some affairs. By chance, he heard that a breathtaking woman who seemed like a fairy descending to earth was offering free treatment in Heaven Dou City. His curiosity had been piqued, so he came to take a look, only to witness this scene.
A smile hung at the corner of Ning Fengzhi's lips as he looked at Ah Yin, a trace of fervor in his eyes. He wanted to recruit her into his sect.
When Ah Yin had intended to use force against the young man, Sword Douluo's perception as a Titled Douluo had keenly detected her Soul Power and transmitted the information to Ning Fengzhi.
As for Ah Yin's identity as a transformed Soul Beast, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red concealed her. Sword Douluo's Spiritual Power was insufficient to see through her disguise.
Ah Yin looked barely over twenty, only a little younger than Bibi Dong, yet her Soul Power was already close to that of a Soul Emperor. She was a favored daughter of heaven whose talent and beauty were in no way inferior to Bibi Dong's. Moreover, he had never heard of any family or sect on the continent possessing such a genius. Perhaps she was a talented commoner Soul Master. They had to recruit her into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as soon as possible!
That way, after Sword Bone Douluo grew old, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would have new Sky-Supporting White Jade Pillars and Sea-Bracing Purple-Gold Beams—two more guardian deities.
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Miss, you are so captivating and exceptionally gifted. If your talent is revealed, troublesome pests like that count's son will keep appearing to harass you. If you wish to practice medicine, why not come to Seven Treasure Street? Disciples of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect patrol there to maintain order, and we can provide you with a peaceful environment."
Ah Yin's delicate body trembled slightly. She had heard Tang Hao and Tang Xiao speak of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was ranked second among the Upper Three Sects. The two of them had once fought Titled Douluo who had suppressed their cultivation. Could this white-haired elder with such an otherworldly bearing be a Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?
Seeing that Ah Yin seemed frightened, Bibi Dong said, "Don't be afraid. Brother Fengzhi and Uncle Sword are both good people; they mean no harm. I don't even know how many times those annoying pests have harassed me over the years. Wherever I go, there are always people ogling me."
That old man didn't see through my identity. That flower must be working.
Ah Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Remembering why she had come to Heaven Dou City, she said, "I wouldn't call myself a genius. I've heard that the most talented person on the continent today is Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect. I want to surpass the record he created."
Bibi Dong curled her lips. "How is he the most talented person? He's only a Soul Sage at thirty. I'll break his record soon enough. But it won't be easy if you want to break the record I set in the future."
"Dong'er, don't be arrogant. Don't forget that Tang Hao even made it through the City of Slaughter, a place like hell on earth."
After saying this, Ning Fengzhi looked toward Ah Yin, confusion appearing in his eyes. Ah Yin's delicate body had begun trembling, and her exquisite face was filled with sorrow.
"You've learned what you wanted to know. Come back with me."
A figure suddenly appeared. Sword Douluo immediately flashed in front of Bibi Dong, shielding both her and Ning Fengzhi behind him. Sharp Soul Power surged forth; he sensed a powerful Soul Power no weaker than his own.
"The Pope."
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were both startled upon seeing the newcomer. They knew this man all too well—the Pope, Qian Xunji.
Qian Xunji smiled faintly. "Sword Douluo, Sect Master Ning, it has been a long time. And Bibi Dong."
Bibi Dong looked at Qian Xunji, disgust surfacing in her beautiful eyes. The more exalted her status became and the more people flattered her, the more she understood just how great an insult it had been when Qian Xunji had sold her off.
"Your Holiness the Pope, have you come to Heaven Dou City because of this young lady?" Ning Fengzhi cupped his hands and looked between Qian Xunji and Ah Yin, a faint guess forming in his heart.
"An ordinary genius would naturally not be worth my leaving Spirit Hall. But she is the future consort of Spirit Hall."
"Who says I'm your consort?!" Ah Yin's pretty face flushed crimson. Even her fair neck and earlobes turned red, while her little heart thumped wildly. Her reproach carried a hint of coquettishness.
At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ah Yin had been willing to die rather than submit. But now, her words held a trace of coquettishness. This was mainly because she had learned that Tang Hao and Tang Xiao truly had slaughtered Soul Beasts to obtain soul bones, which had utterly broken her heart.
Qian Xunji's appearance at this moment, along with his blunt declaration before everyone, carried a hint of taking advantage of her vulnerability. The heartstrings of Ah Yin, who knew nothing about love, were immediately stirred.
Qian Xunji's words confirmed Ning Fengzhi's guess. Envy and jealousy rose in his heart. How could Qian Xunji be so lucky, encountering yet another beautiful woman with extraordinary talent? And this beauty seemed genuinely moved by Qian Xunji. He had pursued Bibi Dong for so long—why had he achieved nothing at all?
"Little girl, don't let him deceive you. Be careful he sells you off!" Bibi Dong suddenly shouted, glaring angrily at Qian Xunji.
"Dong'er, don't be rude!"
Ning Fengzhi spoke sternly, then hurriedly cupped his hands. "Your Holiness the Pope, please forgive her. Dong'er has truly been spoiled by me, Uncle Sword, and Uncle Bone."
"It doesn't matter. After all, she spoke the truth."
Qian Xunji had no intention of tangling with Bibi Dong. She no longer had any value to him, after all. He took Ah Yin and left.
Just after leaving Heaven Dou City, Ah Yin asked, "What did Bibi Dong mean when she said to be careful of being sold off?"
Qian Xunji said flatly, "She meant that when Bibi Dong had just awakened her martial soul and was sent to Spirit Hall, I sold her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in exchange for their secret arts and several hundred million Gold Soul Coins each year."
"What?!" Ah Yin was horrified. Wouldn't Qian Xunji sell her off too after she bore him children? No, she was a transformed Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast. She would probably be kept in captivity until the time came to take her ring and extract her bone.
Qian Xunji smacked the back of Ah Yin's head. "What is this foolish grass thinking? If I truly intended to do that, I wouldn't have wasted my patience on you. When I knocked you unconscious, you would have already lost everything."
