Background / History

Trauma and Discipleship

Qian Xunji, the former Pope, inflicted severe trauma on Bibi Dong years before Su Ming’s arrival. The memory leaves her with a deep-seated aversion to men, particularly within an intimate master–disciple relationship. Although she accepts Hu Liena as her direct disciple, she initially cannot bring herself to accept a male direct successor 6 16.

Recruiting Su Ming

Bibi Dong first meets Su Ming after receiving the Soto City branch’s report of his eight-hundred-year second spirit ring. She examines his Evil Fire Phoenix and questions his departure from Shrek Academy. His decision to cultivate its evil attribute rather than its fire attribute impresses her, especially when he accepts responsibility for the risks of his chosen path 6.

Rather than formally accepting him as a disciple, she places him under Hu Liena’s care, grants him residence in the Golden Hall and high-level cultivation resources, and permits him to seek her help with otherwise insurmountable cultivation problems 6 7.

Resolving the Martial Soul Bottleneck

Three years later, Su Ming seeks her advice after failing to consume the final trace of his martial soul’s fire attribute. Bibi Dong identifies the obstruction as a “dead knot” involving its origin. When he proposes an undisclosed solution, she makes an exception to normal procedure and assigns Yue Guan and Gui Mei to accompany him 8 9.

After his return, she questions his knowledge of Dugu Bo’s refuge and the immortal herbs, but does not pursue his explanation further. His completed Evil Phoenix surprises her: its attribute purity rivals her Spider Emperors, while its devouring properties surpass them. She declines his offer of the remaining herbs because her established martial souls and cultivation leave little practical benefit from consuming them 13.

Accepting a Registered Disciple

Bibi Dong prepares a two-thousand-year spirit beast for Su Ming’s third ring, only to learn that he instead absorbed a five-thousand-year Hell Soul Yama Vulture and reached level thirty-nine. She verifies that his cultivation is stable, reprimands his unauthorized risk-taking, and requires him to obtain her approval before similar decisions 14 16.

Recognizing both his potential and the importance of retaining his loyalty, she accepts him as a registered disciple. This brings him into the Pope’s inner faction and grants him treatment genuinely equal to Hu Liena’s, while stopping short of direct discipleship 16.

Preparing the Tournament Team

Bibi Dong authorizes Su Ming’s admission to Elite Class One despite his level being below its usual expectations. After he reaches the level-forty bottleneck, she again assigns Yue Guan to escort his spirit-ring hunt 19 20 26.

Following the internal team-selection tournament, she praises Su Ming as Spirit Hall’s leading young talent. She opens top-tier training facilities and rare cultivation resources to the representative team, demanding overwhelming victory over the two great empires. Privately, she gives Su Ming the Wisdom Skull as a belated master–disciple initiation gift 32.

Appearance

• Build and features: Tall and slender, with fair skin, a narrow waist, straight legs, and deep, expressive eyes 6 13.
• Papal attire: A shimmering, waist-cinched golden robe, a crown, and a jewel-inlaid scepter emphasize her authority 6.
• Informal attire: Wears a moon-white, form-fitting dress during Su Ming’s post-expedition audience 13.
• Later ceremonial appearance: Wears the Purple Gold Crown and carries the Pope Scepter when addressing the tournament team 32.

Personality

Bibi Dong maintains a composed, imposing public presence and expects obedience to her decisions. She nevertheless admires people who challenge conventions: Su Ming’s willingness to pursue an unconventional cultivation path evokes a sense of kinship in her. Her support is pragmatic as well as personal, intended to nurture exceptional talent and secure Spirit Hall’s future 6 16 32.

Her attitude toward Su Ming becomes noticeably warmer in private. She expresses pride in his achievements, asks him to abandon excessive formality, and regrets that administrative duties have delayed a proper initiation gift. This affection does not prevent her from rebuking dangerous choices made without consultation 16 32.
