"Sister Lingyuan."
"So big!"
Su Chen looked earnest.
This woman.
It was his turn to strike.
To seize her leverage.
"There's nothing there."
"Oh, how fierce."
Upon hearing this, a blush spread from Ye Lingyuan's fair neck up to her cheeks.
She covered Su Chen's mouth.
She glanced around a few times.
Anxiously, she hissed.
"Shut up!"
"Sister Lingyuan, you wouldn't want your business to be known by others, would you?"
Su Chen pried her hand away, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Ye Lingyuan knew he was doing it on purpose and glared at him crossly, then played along with a feigned look of fear: "You, what do you want to do?"
"Hahaha!"
Su Chen broke free from her arms, gave her a meaningful look, and turned to leave.
"Behave and listen to me from now on."
"You little rascal!"
Ye Lingyuan watched his retreating figure, finding it somewhat amusing.
To think she had been teased by a little guy.
However.
She looked at her own palms.
She had truly become much stronger.
This Immortal Herb was definitely not inferior to a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, and its value might even exceed one.
Little Chen had actually gifted such a precious Immortal Herb to her.
Saintess Hall.
Su Chen pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, seeing that familiar figure.
Bibi Dong sat upright on a jade chair, dressed in a wine-red gown that clung to her body, her long legs crossed.
"Where did you go?"
Bibi Dong knew who had returned without needing to turn around.
As Su Chen approached, her nostrils flared almost imperceptibly.
She caught a faint, unique fragrance belonging to a woman.
Bibi Dong's willow-leaf eyebrows arched involuntarily.
Su Chen smiled as he came before her: "Teacher, I ran into a soul master who needed help, so I lent a hand. Hehe, your disciple has a kind heart, right?"
Bibi Dong watched him quietly, a trace of undetectable suspicion flashing in the depths of her purple eyes.
She opened her mouth, wanting to get to the bottom of it, but felt it wouldn't be appropriate.
She couldn't restrict her disciple's freedom or deny him some personal space, could she?
"Don't be out so late next time."
"Also, there is something I need to tell you."
Bibi Dong sat up straight, her vermilion lips moving slightly, "In half a year, Martial Soul Hall will set out to conquer Devil Island, and I will be going along as well. This expedition will consist of two thousand core elite soul masters, with Title Douluo as the main force."
Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with confidence, even a hint of arrogance.
Such a lineup was the top-tier configuration across the entire Douluo Continent.
No other faction could easily assemble such a force.
She raised her eyes to look at Su Chen before her and asked softly: "For this trip, I would like to take you with me, Teacher, so you can witness the Sea Soul Master and learn about the combat of Title Douluo. What do you think?"
Su Chen was not surprised; in the original timeline, Bibi Dong was willing to bring along even a useless waste who only knew how to fart, let alone him.
Su Chen began to calculate; this trip would allow him to see the battles of Title Douluo and Peerless Douluo with his own eyes.
This kind of perspective could not be gained through daily cultivation alone.
It would provide irreplaceable benefits for his future cultivation.
Furthermore, as long as he followed Bibi Dong, there might be danger, but he would definitely be safe.
He agreed, though he would still try to stop Martial Soul Hall if he could.
After all, the losses would all be Martial Soul Hall's people, which was truly a pity.
In the days that followed, Su Chen returned to his daily routine of cultivation.
Bibi Dong also needed time to cultivate, but she would always spare a moment to tutor Su Chen.
Every time Su Chen went out and returned, Bibi Dong could always smell a strange fragrance on him, sometimes faint and sometimes lingering, which made her very uncomfortable.
Half a year passed in the blink of an eye, and in a flash, it was only a few days before the expedition to Devil Island.
Su Chen ran into Yu Xiaogang at the library again.
He didn't look as spirited as he had before.
He was being followed by a man with a scarred face.
The scarred man was being handsy.
Yu Xiaogang shook him off with an angry expression and strode away.
The scarred man wore a look of sorrow.
Su Chen's eyes darted around; this scar looked familiar, as if he were from Martial Soul Hall, so he stepped forward and patted the scarred man on the shoulder.
"Young Master Su Chen!"
The scarred man's expression turned serious the moment he saw Su Chen.
He bowed slightly.
In Martial Soul City, there was no one who didn't know Bibi Dong.
Those who knew Bibi Dong naturally knew her disciple.
After all, wherever Bibi Dong went, she often brought him along.
"What's going on with that Yu Xiaogang?"
Su Chen asked.
The scarred man chuckled, "Heh heh, sorry for the spectacle. I've been pursuing him for half a year, but he won't respond to me."
Su Chen's expression turned strange instantly.
He even subconsciously took a few steps back.
"You're a woman?"
Su Chen saw the scarred man reveal a lewd smile.
He shook his head.
He wiped his hand nonchalantly.
Mind-blowing.
The plot had actually changed.
It was no longer the story of Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.
It was now Yu Xiaogang and the scarred man.
"True love is invincible!"
"Keep up the effort."
Su Chen suddenly didn't want to talk to him anymore and turned directly to head to the top floor of the library.
The scarred man's fawning smile turned sinister the moment Su Chen left.
"Yu Xiaogang, it looks like I'll have to be a bit rougher."
"In this Martial Soul City, there is nothing that I, Scar, cannot obtain."
On the top floor of Changshu Pavilion, Su Chen grabbed a few books and sat down in a random corner.
These books were all illustrated guides to sea Soul Beast and theories on Martial Souls.
Su Chen had only been reading for a short while when he suddenly smelled a fresh fragrance, and then something was stuffed into his mouth.
His mouth was filled with juice and sweetness.
He turned his head to see a woman dressed in a red dress, revealing a pair of long legs.
Bai Ruyan had arrived by his side without him noticing.
She held a few fruits in her hand, looking at Su Chen with a charming smile.
"Little Chen, are you here to read again?"
"Sister Ruyan, why are you here?"
"Hee hee, His Holiness the Pope is coming here to consult some records tomorrow, so I'm just familiarizing myself with the surroundings first."
Bai Ruyan spoke with a smile.
Su Chen marveled at how capable Bai Ruyan was.
She had already managed to hook Qian Xunji's interest completely.
As expected of Empress Ruyan—no, Soul Emperor Ruyan.
Su Chen instinctively glanced at her lower abdomen.
Bai Ruyan chuckled, "Little Chen, no need to look; I'm already with child. I only just discovered it."
Su Chen was stunned. "Really? Does Qian Xunji know?"
"He doesn't know yet. I only sensed something was off while wandering around just now. I plan to tell him when the Pope comes tomorrow."
Bai Ruyan suddenly embraced Su Chen, pressing a heavy kiss onto his cheek with her red lips. "Big Sister really has to thank you. When I sensed it just now, I was truly terrified, yet overjoyed."
Su Chen smiled; after more than half a year, he finally saw some progress.
Although it was a bit earlier than the original timeline, he could at least be certain it was Qian Renxue.
"How does Big Sister plan to thank me?"
Bai Ruyan leaned into Su Chen's ear, pressing her lips against it as she breathed softly, "Little Chen, you're so good. Without you, Big Sister would only be able to stay in the Saintess Hall."
