Ye Lingling carried in a basin of steaming warm water. She placed the basin at the foot of the bed and sat down on a small stool.
She carefully removed Qin Feng's shoes and socks and placed his feet in the warm water.
Lingling's hands gently massaged Qin Feng's insteps and soles in the water. The warm water, combined with her gentle movements, greatly relieved his fatigue.
Seeing that Ah Yin and Lingling had already taken up their spots, Dugu Yan simply took off her shoes and climbed onto the bed.
She lay down beside Qin Feng like a cat, propping her head up with one hand, and stared intently at Qin Feng profile.
"The Soul Master Tournament officially starts tomorrow. How should our academy's team be arranged?" Dugu Yan reached out and stroked Qin Feng's hair, asking softly.
"What arrangements? Just fight your way through." Qin Feng didn't even open his eyes.
"Should we go on the field or not?"
"You guys can just watch from below, I'm enough on my own," Qin Feng said.
Ah Yin pressed her hands on the acupoints on Qin Feng's waist, her body swaying slightly with the force of her movements, and the view below her collar was faintly visible.
After washing her feet, Ye Lingling took a dry towel and dried Qin Feng's feet, then her hands glowed with a faint pink light.
She actually activated the healing Soul Power of the Nine Heart Begonia, which flowed into Qin Feng's body little by little along the soles of his feet, helping to soothe his meridians.
Using the extremely precious Nine Heart Begonia to heal Soul Power for a foot massage—this treatment is unique to Qin Feng in the entire Douluo Continent.
Qin Feng opened his diary again.
[I must say, Lingling's Nine Heart Begonia is absolutely amazing for therapeutic purposes. The Soul Power travels along the soles of my feet throughout my entire body—it's even more refreshing than soaking in a hot spring.]
[ Ah Yin's essential oil back massage is also amazing; her hands are both soft and strong. Yanyan was lying next to me, smelling wonderful.]
This kind of daily life couldn't be more perfect.
[I wonder if Her Pope, who stormed off earlier, has calmed down yet. Actually, she doesn't need to be so shy. After the competition, if she really wants to learn massage, I could reluctantly teach her. Of course, the tuition would be for her to wear that Pope's Robe and give me a leg massage once.]
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Imperial Rear Garden.
Bibi Dong was standing in a pavilion, enjoying the breeze. The words in her diary had completely made her lose her composure in front of Xue Ye, so she could only make an excuse to come out for some fresh air.
At this moment, new diary entries resurfaced in her mind.
Bibi Dong trembled with rage when she saw the line, "Wearing Pope's Robe, massage my legs."
This scoundrel! How dare he blaspheme the Pope of the Spirit Hall like this!
How could she, the highest authority in the Spirit Hall, possibly massage a man's legs!
Bibi Dong quickly typed on the Message Board.
[ Your Pope ]: Qin Feng! You're dreaming! Even if I were to jump off this Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, I would never let you massage my legs!
[ I Have No Mother ]: Stop pretending, you actually really want to try, don't you?
Bibi Dong turned to look at Qian Renxue, who was standing not far away and had also come out for some fresh air.
" Xue Qinghe, do you think I wouldn't dare kill you?" Bibi Dong's voice was very low.
Qian Renxue stared Bibi Dong without backing down. "Of course you dare. But right now, you'd rather go to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, wouldn't you?"
Bibi Dong's heart was touched, and her chest heaved violently.
She snorted coldly and turned to walk out of the palace.
"Go and inform Yue Guan and Gui Mei that I am going to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy to inspect the preparations of the participating teams. Depart immediately!" Bibi Dong gave the order to her attendants.
She was going to see Qin Feng right now. She wanted to see if this guy, whose head was full of nonsense, would still be as arrogant as he wrote in his diary when he met her in person!
On the double bed in the dormitory.
Qin Feng looked at Bibi Dong's furious message on the Message Board and a smile appeared on his lips.
Seeing Qin Feng smile, Dugu Yan, who was lying next to him, immediately moved closer.
" Qin Feng, what are you thinking about that makes you smile so happily?" Dugu Yan stretched out a finger and drew circles on Qin Feng's muscular back.
"It's nothing," Qin Feng said.
Dugu Yan pursed her lips, then suddenly flipped over and straddled Qin Feng's waist from the side.
Ah Yin's hand was forced to stop.
" Yanyan, what are you doing? I haven't finished pressing the buttons yet," Ah Yin said.
"You're pressing too lightly, let me put more pressure on him." Dugu Yan completely ignored Ah Yin's protests and lay directly on Qin Feng's back.
Instead of pressing with her hands, Dugu Yan gently rubbed her full, soft body against Qin Feng's back.
" Qin Feng, how's this strength?" Dugu Yan breathed into Qin Feng's ear, her voice so sweet it could melt your bones.
Qin Feng pinched Dugu Yan's leg. "You're playing with fire and getting burned."
Sitting at the foot of the bed Ye Lingling was so embarrassed by the two's intimate behavior that she covered her eyes, but peeked through her fingers.
Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the dormitory door.
" Qin Feng! Come out quickly! His Holiness the Pope has come to inspect our academy! He specifically asked to see you!" Bai Baoshan's anxious voice rang out from outside the door.
Dugu Yan, who was perched on Qin Feng's back, paused. " Bibi Dong? Didn't she just leave? Why is she back?"
Qin Feng patted Dugu Yan's leg, signaling her to get down.
He sat up in bed and let Ah Yin take a towel and wipe the essential oil off his back.
"What else could it be?" Qin Feng put on the coat that had been taken off and straightened his collar.
He opened his diary and quickly wrote down a sentence.
[It seems Her Pope couldn't suppress her desire and personally came to deliver the gift. I wonder if she's prepared the right posture for massaging my legs.]
Qin Feng pushed open the bedroom door and strode out.
Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Ah Yin immediately followed.
Bai Baoshan was standing in the corridor, anxiously wringing his hands. When he saw Qin Feng come out, he quickly went to greet him.
" Qin Feng, you've finally come out. His Holiness the Pope is waiting in the reception room, and he looks very unhappy. Be careful what you say later," Bai Baoshan warned in a low voice.
Qin Feng patted Bai Baoshan on the shoulder.
"Don't worry, Education Commission, I know what I'm doing."
After saying that, Qin Feng put his hands in his pockets and slowly walked towards the reception room.
Dugu Yan naturally moved closer, took Qin Feng's left arm, and leaned most of her body against him.
Ye Lingling was a little reserved, but she still stayed close to Qin Feng's right side, their shoulders occasionally touching.
Ah Yin lagged half a step behind, her gaze never leaving Qin Feng's back.
Bai Baoshan followed behind, looking at the four people's formation, and could only sigh repeatedly.
This isn't going to see the Pope; it's more like parading the whole family through the streets.
Qin Feng opened his diary as he walked.
[That woman Bibi Dong is really decisive. I drove her away in a huff, and she's already back again.]
[He must have gotten angrier the more he thought about it, and couldn't swallow his anger, so he came here to settle the score.]
[But she's basically walking into a trap. When we meet, I'll have to enjoy watching her get angry, and maybe see if I can find a chance to take advantage of her.]
The Message Board immediately buzzed with activity.
[ Poison Fairy ]: Qin Feng is right! Let's go teach her a lesson!
[ The Fox Is Most Pure ]: Dugu Yan, don't be so arrogant. My teacher is the Pope. You'd better watch out, or you'll regret it.
[ Little Witch ]: Qin Feng, stop focusing on Bibi Dong! When are you coming to find me? I want to be able to link arms with you like Dugu Yan!
[ My Cat Is White and Big ]: The Pope is, after all, Titled Douluo, and his strength is very strong.
[ I Have No Mother ]: Qin Feng is really bold. But I'll support you; you'd better make that old woman so angry she vomits blood.
[ Your Pope ]: Xue Qinghe! You just wait! And Qin Feng, you dare touch me and see what happens!
[ My Son Is Not A Bastard ]: The master can do whatever he wants, and no one can stop him.
The door to the reception room was right in front of us.
Bai Baoshan quickly stepped forward and pushed open the two heavy doors.
The reception room is very spacious.
Bibi Dong sat in the main seat, holding the Pope's Scepter in her hand.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei stood on either side of her behind her.
Hearing the door open, Bibi Dong looked up and her gaze immediately locked onto Qin Feng as he walked in.
When she saw Qin Feng with Dugu Yan on his left, Ye Lingling on his right, and a beautiful woman named Ah Yin following behind, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed instantly.
This kid is absolutely ridiculous!
In broad daylight, he was brazenly parading through the streets with three women in such intimate poses!
Qin Feng entered the reception room without any intention of bowing.
He glanced around and walked directly to a large sofa to Bibi Dong's left and sat down.
Dugu Yan sat down beside him, almost leaning against him.
Ye Lingling sat on his other side.
Ah Yin obediently walked behind the sofa, stretched out her hands, and began to massage Qin Feng's shoulders.
Yue Guan couldn't stand it anymore.
He took a step forward and pointed at Qin Feng, scolding him.
"How dare you! Why don't you kneel before His Holiness the Pope?"
Qin Feng didn't even lift his eyelids, leaning back on the sofa and enjoying Ah Yin's massage.
"I am a nine-ring Titled Douluo. According to the rules of the Spirit Hall, Titled Douluo have the privilege of not kneeling before the Pope. Elder Chrysanthemum, are you trying to overstep your authority and discipline me?" Qin Feng retorted calmly.
Yue Guan choked for a moment.
He wanted to refute, but he had nothing to say.
Bibi Dong raised her hand, signaling Yue Guan to step back.
Seeing Qin Feng's nonchalant demeanor, she suppressed her anger.
" Qin Feng, the reason I returned this time is to learn more about your academy's preparations for the Soul Master Tournament," Bibi Dong said.
"Preparations?" Qin Feng smiled. "There's nothing to prepare. As long as I step onto the field, the championship is ours."
Bibi Dong looked at Qin Feng Feng's confident face, the contents of her diary suddenly flashed into her mind.
[That woman, Bibi Dong, really loves putting on airs. There's not a single outsider in the living room right now, and she's still sitting there pretending to be something she's not.]
[Her legs are so straight, they must be really tired. If I went over now, lifted her legs and put them on my lap, and gave her a good massage, would she jump up in embarrassment?]
[The scenery beneath the Pope's Robe is far more captivating than I imagined.]
A blush instantly appeared on Bibi Dong's cheeks.
Her hand, which was resting on the scepter, tightened suddenly, and her breathing became erratic.
That bastard! He's still writing such filthy things in his diary at a time like this!
" Your His Holiness the Pope, you don't look too well. Is it too stuffy in this room?" Qin Feng straightened up and looked at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong gritted her teeth and replied, "I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."
"I think your Pope's Robe is too thick and stuffy," Qin Feng said, standing up and walking towards Bibi Dong.
Upon seeing this, Yue Guan and Gui Mei immediately stepped forward and stood in front of Bibi Dong.
"Step back," Bibi Dong commanded.
The two could only reluctantly step aside.
Qin Feng walked up to Bibi Dong, the two of them less than half a meter apart.
Bibi Dong could even smell the refreshing scent emanating from Qin Feng, mixed with the perfume scent of the girls.
She looked up at Qin Feng, forcing herself to remain calm.
"What do you want to do?" Bibi Dong demanded.
Qin Feng bent down, his face almost touching Bibi Dong's.
"I just wanted to remind Your His Holiness the Pope that the collar of this robe is a little crooked," Qin Feng said, naturally reaching out to gently straighten Bibi Dong's collar.
His fingertips inadvertently touched Bibi Dong's fair neck.
Bibi Dong shuddered and shrank back as if she had been electrocuted.
Qin Feng withdrew his hand and even sniffed it.
"It smells wonderful. What perfume did His Holiness the Pope use? It smells even better than what Yanyan and the others are wearing," Qin Feng said with a smile.
The moment these words were spoken, the reception room fell into a deathly silence.
Bai Baoshan was so startled he almost lost his balance and had to grab the door frame for support.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei stared wide-eyed.
Has this kid gone mad? How dare he flirt with the Pope to his face!
Dugu Yan sat on the sofa, not jealous at all, but instead shouting as if she wanted to stir up trouble.
" Qin Feng, don't be fooled by her. She smells like an old woman, nothing like me."
Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head to look at Dugu Yan.
"You're asking for death!" Bibi Dong roared.
A tremendous pressure of Soul Power erupted from Bibi Dong and headed straight for Dugu Yan.
Qin Feng flashed forward, directly blocking Dugu Yan's path.
He didn't release his Martial Soul; with a single wave of his hand, he neutralized Bibi Dong's oppressive aura.
" Your His Holiness the Pope, why are you arguing with a little girl?" Qin Feng looked at Bibi Dong. "If you're really angry, come at me."
Bibi Dong stared intently at Qin Feng, her chest heaving violently.
Qin Feng's diary has been updated again.
[ Bibi Dong looks so beautiful when she's angry. Especially her chest bobbing up and down, it's dizzying to watch.]
[When I touched her neck just now, her skin was as smooth as silk. I wonder what it would feel like to put my hand inside her robe.]
[She's probably seething with rage right now, but she can't do anything about it. It's so satisfying to see her so frustrated and unable to do anything about it.]
Bibi Dong saw this passage in the diary, everything went black.
She spammed the Message Board with messages.
[ Your Pope ]: Qin Feng! I will tear you to pieces!
[ I Have No Mother ]: Stop talking the talk, show us what you're doing! Did he touch you so much your legs went weak?
