Yu Zhi had originally wanted to greet her, but his gaze inadvertently fell on Bibi Dong's heaving chest, as if drawn there by Mū. The proper words on the tip of his tongue took an unconscious turn as he raised his brows and smiled.
"Teacher, did you rush over because you couldn't wait to fulfill tonight's punishment?"
Bibi Dong froze slightly at his words. Following his gaze downward, she instantly understood his little scheme. Her cheeks grew faintly warm, and she shot him a reproachful look.
"You little pervert! Be serious! I'm here to talk business!"
She forcibly suppressed the excitement in her heart, and her emotions gradually settled.
Yu Zhi secretly sighed in regret. He knew exactly why—he simply liked deliberately teasing Bibi Dong. Seeing her flustered, bashful expression always brought him inexplicable delight.
He then put away his playful grin and said seriously, "Teacher, I was just planning to personally inform you shortly."
"Xiao Zhi, you..."
Bibi Dong had just begun to offer him some instructions when the door was pushed open once more.
Qian Daoliu slowly entered the hall with a group of elders from the Worship Hall.
Guang Ling Douluo was forthright by nature. The moment he entered, he smiled and teased, "Xiao Zhi, I never expected you to be this lucky! Only five people were chosen from the entire continent, and you were actually one of them!"
When Qian Daoliu entered and saw that Bibi Dong was present as well, he assumed the bearing of the First Worship and did not speak first.
Guang Ling broke the silence in the hall first. He had always been on good terms with Yu Zhi!
Yu Zhi instinctively struck the Flame Emperor's classic pose, rubbing the tip of his nose as he smiled with feigned humility. "Brother Guang, you flatter me. I was merely lucky."
Qian Daoliu slowly nodded, his gaze settling on Yu Zhi as he spoke in a grave tone.
"For the Sky Screen to choose you this time is truly the fortune of our Spirit Hall. After all, no one on the entire continent knows the Naruto Continent better than you do. You are the most suitable candidate for our Spirit Hall!"
At that moment, Bibi Dong stepped forward, her expression stern as she spoke earnestly.
"First Worship, Yu Zhi may be more familiar than the others with Konoha and the Hokage factions, but his weakness is far too obvious."
"Other than the mysterious Tang San, Dugu Bo, Yu Yuanzhen, and Tang Xiao are all Title Douluo with profound cultivation. Moreover, every one of them holds an independent position and has long been hostile toward our Spirit Hall."
"With Yu Zhi's current cultivation, it will be extremely difficult for him to compete among them for the Dungeon's opportunities. Does the First Worship have any reliable suggestions?"
Qian Daoliu nodded thoughtfully upon hearing this. Only then did he realize this concern.
His gaze swept over the worshippers beside him, his expression solemn. "You are right. This is indeed the greatest problem before us."
"Very well. The other worshippers and I will immediately discuss a solution. Before tomorrow, we will certainly give you a reliable arrangement."
As he spoke, Qian Daoliu led the worshippers away. Their expressions were grave as they departed, apparently not having expected to encounter such a problem.
Once all the worshippers had gone far away, only Yu Zhi and Bibi Dong remained in the room.
The two exchanged looks. Yu Zhi suddenly broke into a grin, and before Bibi Dong could grow suspicious, he stepped forward and hugged her thigh, his voice filled with emotion. "Thank you, Teacher. You are truly too good to me. This disciple is filled with gratitude beyond Mū's measure."
Bibi Dong was slightly stunned by his sudden action. She wanted to break free, but after Yu Zhi hugged her like that, she felt utterly weak all over, and even her breathing grew a little heavier!
"Xiao Zhi, there's no need for this! Teacher, mm... hasn't done anything!"
She felt that if she did not break free soon, something bad would happen!
Moreover, only after being hugged by him did Bibi Dong realize that her body had absolutely no resistance to Yu Zhi!
"Teacher, I understand everything. Dugu Bo was the one I originally recommended to the Spirit Hall, and you were the one who secretly appointed him as an elder, never making it public."
"During the discussion just now, you deliberately avoided mentioning this matter because you wanted to pave the way for me in the Dungeon and secretly secure benefits for me. How could I fail to understand such kindness? In the future, I will definitely repay Teacher!"
Then Teacher can have two fewer children in the future!
As he spoke, Bibi Dong seemed to feel Yu Zhi's sobbing grow louder!
So she softly said, "You are my disciple, and the Holy Son I personally chose. If I do not consider your interests, whose should I consider?... Mm?"
Before she could finish, Bibi Dong sensed that something was wrong. Judging by the rhythm of the brat's crying, her thigh should have been soaked long ago. Yet there was not the slightest change. When she looked down, she found Yu Zhi's head still rubbing up and down!
She was furious! Bibi Dong felt her fists harden!
"Mm?"
When the sound suddenly stopped, Yu Zhi instinctively looked up and saw Bibi Dong's half-smiling gaze.
"Go on, rub some more. Why did you stop? Do you want Teacher to change into the black ones you like?"
Yu Zhi sensed that the atmosphere was off. Feeling slightly guilty, he obediently stood straight, looking like a well-behaved child.
"Hehe, next time, Teacher!"
Bibi Dong shook her head helplessly, as though Mū had left her no other choice. She had intended to put on a stern face and scold him, but seeing how obedient he looked, the harsh words at her lips ultimately would not come out. She could only say lightly, "Fine. But don't let it happen again."
Putting away their playful banter, Bibi Dong's expression turned solemn as she seriously instructed him, "Xiao Zhi, you must understand that when you enter the Nine-Tails Incident Dungeon this time, the Sky Screen will broadcast it across the entire continent. I fear the whole continent will learn that you are not native to Douluo!"
Yu Zhi waved his hand dismissively, confidence gleaming in his eyes. "Teacher, there is no need to worry. I do not care about such things at all. This is the perfect opportunity to let the entire continent witness the prestige of the Spirit Hall, as well as the strength of the Pope's personal disciple."
Yu Zhi did not care in the slightest. It was not as if they had doxxed him!
But Tang San was another matter. That guy had been thoroughly exposed!
No one cared about his identity yet, but there would definitely be clever people who figured it out later!
When that time came, perhaps God King Tang would say to the whole continent: You have invited death upon yourselves!
"It is good that you can see it that way."
Bibi Dong held her scepter and lightly struck it against the ground, radiating dominance beyond Mū's equal as she said,
"Although Dugu Bo will accompany you and look after you in this Dungeon, remember not to act rashly or recklessly."
"The Nine-Tails Incident is far too dangerous. Even if I went myself, I might not come away unscathed!"
"Furthermore, aside from our Spirit Hall, no faction can swallow this opportunity alone. Even if you fail to obtain it, Mū will not fault you. Safety comes first!"
Yu Zhi was once again dumbfounded by her empress-like bearing!
Ever since he confessed to Bibi Dong previously, their relationship had quietly changed by the time they met again.
For example, he had become even more brazen and no longer hid the passion in his eyes!
Bibi Dong did not mind his little actions either. Otherwise, she would not have refrained from scolding him just now!
"Still staring? You rebellious disciple!" Bibi Dong chided.
Yu Zhi chuckled, mischief in his eyes. "Teacher, if I can successfully bring back Ninjutsu from the Dungeon and seize the opportunity, can you give me what I want?"
Bibi Dong's heart fluttered slightly under his predatory gaze. Unable to withstand it, her cheeks warmed. She could only turn and leave in slight panic, tossing back one sentence. "Wait until you truly obtain the opportunity. Then we can talk."
Yu Zhi watched her hurriedly departing figure and called out with a laugh, "If Teacher doesn't refuse, that means you've agreed by default! I'll remember it! Next time, I want black!"
The figure ahead paused slightly and nearly stumbled. In the end, she did not turn back to respond, merely quickening her pace as she left the bedchamber.
