The Warm Little Rabbit Was About to Become a Cold Soul Bone

In the end, Bibi Dong had no choice but to let it go.

After several days on the road, they finally returned to Spirit Hall.

But Cen Yu was only Bibi Dong's disciple, and with propriety and the distinction between men and women in mind, he couldn't stay in Spirit Hall.

After much deliberation, Cen Yu was eventually given a house in Spirit City.

Mm, the fully renovated kind.

"Junior, is this the house your teacher bought for you?" Hu Liena asked in surprise, looking at her little junior.

Her teacher hadn't even bought her a house to live in by herself... She was a little jealous.

Cen Yu smiled. "Because I became her disciple halfway through, and I never enrolled at Martial Soul Academy, this is the most suitable place for me to live."

"It can't be helped."

Hu Liena pouted and said helplessly, "I'm actually jealous of you. You have a lot more freedom here than at Martial Soul Academy."

"Oh, right." Suddenly, she remembered something and took a parcel from her storage space.

"Here, a welcoming gift. I made it myself, so don't be too harsh on it."

"Eh? Thank you, Senior Sister." Cen Yu accepted the parcel, and a fragrant aroma wafted toward him.

When he opened it, he found a box of pastries that were still warm.

"These are... Senior Sister, you know how to make pastries?"

Truly a born genius of Douluo Continent. She could even learn to cook in the brief pauses between cultivation sessions.

Not wanting to waste her thoughtful gift, Cen Yu picked up a pastry and took a bite...

"!!!"

Unbelievable.

In an instant, every flavor—sour, sweet, bitter, spicy, and salty—gathered in his mouth.

Cen Yu swore that in both his lifetimes combined, he had never eaten anything so... extraordinary.

Hu Liena watched as Cen Yu's face turned from red to white, then green... He looked like a painter's palette. Then he spat out the pastry she had made.

"Junior, is it not to your taste?"

"Senior Sister, have you got something against me?!"

Their voices rang out at the same time.

"What?! I have something against you?"

Hu Liena picked up one of the pastries she had made, puzzled.

"If I had something against you, why would I personally—"

Her words stopped as soon as she took a bite.

Hu Liena promptly spat the pastry out and ran to the side to rinse her mouth.

"Ptui, ptui, ptui..."

Cen Yu was at a loss.

"All right, Senior Sister. I believe you don't have anything against me now."

A moment later, Hu Liena smiled awkwardly and quietly put the pastries away. "Junior, I'll make it up to you with another welcoming gift once I'm done with my work."

"...Then thank you, Senior Sister."

After Hu Liena left, Cen Yu sighed and went out to buy some things.

The house was fully furnished, but he still needed to buy clothes and the like.

As luck would have it, just as Cen Yu stepped onto the street, he spotted a whole string of people he never expected to see.

"???"

Was that... Tang San? And the people from Shrek?

This was wrong. What point in time had he landed in? Why was Shrek in Spirit City?

The next moment, Cen Yu's eyes turned blood-red. He turned and headed for Pope Palace.

Tsk, tsk. A little rabbit was really flaunting herself around Spirit City.

What a pity~ The warm little rabbit was about to become a cold Soul Bone~ Hehehe~

Bibi Dong looked at the brazen Cen Yu and said helplessly, "What happened? Why did you rush in here in such a hurry?"

It seemed that the little troublemaker's current personality had awakened again.

Cen Yu hauled Bibi Dong down from her throne and sprawled across it himself.

At Bibi Dong's furious glare, he hurriedly said, "Hey, hey! Teacher, there aren't any other couches here. Surely you can't bear to make me stand?"

"I came to ask you something, Teacher. Is the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Competition taking place right now?"

"Yes. It seems Nana told you about it. Do you want to compete?"

"Hehe~ I do~ I want to join the Martial Soul Hall Team and be on the same team as Senior Sister and the others."

"Oh?" Bibi Dong asked in surprise. "Looking at you, it seems something happened?"

After spending this time with him, she had started to figure him out.

With that look on the little troublemaker's face, it definitely meant trouble.

Sure enough, when he heard Bibi Dong's question, the corner of Cen Yu's mouth curled upward.

"As expected of my teacher. You know your disciple so well~"

"My Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone has arrived. Are you going to honor your promise, Teacher?"

He had practically spelled it out for her. She'd better not disappoint him~

If Bibi Dong wanted to stop him, even if Tang Hao staked his life on it, he wouldn't be able to take that rabbit away.

She could take the Soul Ring, and he could take the Soul Bone. A win-win~

There was no way the little rabbit would offer herself to him, and if he kept her until he could absorb a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring... Who knew what complications might arise?

Turning her into a Soul Bone was much safer~

"A shapeshifted Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast has slipped into Spirit City."

"What?!"

Bibi Dong whipped her head around to look at Cen Yu.

"How did you know?"

She had been wondering where to find a Soul Ring for her Second Martial Soul, and now one had practically shown up at her door.

But Cen Yu was only a Soul Grandmaster. How had he recognized a shapeshifted Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?

Cen Yu chuckled, a wisp of sinister purple Soul Power coiling around his fingertips.

"Teacher, you've fallen behind the times. You should read storybooks more often."

"I have a Martial Soul like this. What's so strange about recognizing a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?"

After thinking it over, he pretended not to recognize her and said, "But that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast seems to be a member of a certain team. She should be competing too."

"Come to think of it, that academy is insane. They've even got a set of disgusting green uniforms."

Good thing he wasn't with Shrek. Just seeing those uniforms would've made him drop dead on the spot.

Bibi Dong clicked her tongue twice and looked Cen Yu over with interest. "I didn't expect you to have such a keen eye. I agree."

"When the time comes, you can have that Soul Beast's Soul Bone. Consider it your welcoming gift as my disciple."

But... who would've thought that the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast was on Shrek's team?

As for how she knew it was Shrek...? Wasn't it obvious? What other academy had such disgusting uniforms?

Although the assassination plan against Tang San by Gui Mei and Yue Guan had failed, she hadn't expected that boy to dare come to Spirit City.

And he had even brought such a generous gift.

At that thought, she called toward the entrance of the hall, "Come in."

At her words, Gui Mei and Yue Guan entered the hall.

Seeing Cen Yu sprawled across the Pope's throne, the two of them froze.

But the Pope hadn't said anything, so they kept their silence. Then they knelt on one knee and saluted Bibi Dong.

"Rise."

Bibi Dong looked at them. "Your last mission failed. I have a new one for you."

"Keep an eye on Shrek Academy. If anyone tries to leave Spirit City, take them down once they're outside the city."

Yue Guan and Gui Mei exchanged a glance, then bowed in unison. "As you command, Your Holiness the Pope."
