"Alright! As long as she can grow up, I have plenty of time." Since the matter had already been decided, Qian Ye felt that saying anything more would be pointless.
He might as well do something practical and useful.
With such a White Dragon Guardian Spirit, he had to make good use of her.
First Meeting with Bibi Dong
Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.
It was the most magnificent hall in Spirit City.
Inside the council chamber, a beautiful young woman sat upright atop the grand staircase.
She held a scepter in her hand, and her exquisitely beautiful face naturally carried an air of authority and nobility.
She was naturally the Pope of the Pope's Palace, Pope Bibi Dong.
Beside her stood a man dressed in black.
He was her guardian elder, Ghost Demon, the ninety-third-ranked Title Douluo, Ghost Douluo.
Tap, tap, tap~
Just then, the doors of the Pope's Palace opened, and a tall, delicate-looking man clad in golden armor walked in.
Bibi Dong's gaze had never left the man from the moment he entered.
Only when he stopped before her did she ask, "Yue Guan, have those old fools from the Elder Hall made any moves?"
Yue Guan immediately saluted. Serving a ruler was like serving a tiger. As Bibi Dong's guardian elder, he knew full well how formidable the icy woman before him was.
Her moods were unpredictable, and a single misstep could leave him in deep trouble.
That was why, after staying by Bibi Dong's side for so many years, he had always been extremely careful, afraid that one wrong move would spell his end.
There was a reason one did not tug a tiger's tail.
"Reporting to Your Holiness, although the Great Enshrined Elder and Second Elder have made no moves, there is one matter. I do not know whether I should speak of it."
"What is it?" Bibi Dong's voice always carried a trace of coldness.
Only then did Yue Guan raise his head. "It is nothing major. The Second Elder arranged for two children to enter Spirit Hall Academy."
"Oh? Is that so?" Bibi Dong was intrigued.
Yue Guan said proudly, "Yes, it is absolutely true. One is a boy, and the other is a girl. The boy is called Qian Ye."
"The girl... Your Holiness, you probably no longer recognize her!"
"Oh?"
Yue Guan nodded. "Her... name is... Qian Renxue!"
"What..."
"Yes, her name is Qian Renxue. She is already six years old, and Your Holiness has not seen her for six years."
Even Ghost Demon was somewhat moved upon hearing this.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists, anger immediately rising on her face. "I never expected this... I truly never expected it. Qian Daoliu, you finally decided to let your precious granddaughter out!"
"Brother Qian Ye, it's time to eat!"
Qian Ye opened his eyes as Qian Renxue's sweet call came from outside the door.
When he pushed the door open, the sun had already set. The lovely figure standing outside was indeed Qian Renxue.
"Xiaoxue, let's eat outside. We can take a stroll around the streets while we're at it."
"Alright, alright!" Qian Renxue was delighted. Such an opportunity was rare.
For six years, she and Qian Ye had remained in the Elder Hall, never stepping outside.
Now that they had a chance to come out and go wherever they wanted, how could she not be happy?
Qian Ye said no more. He took Qian Renxue's hand and headed outside.
As the largest Soul Master Academy on the entire continent, Spirit Hall Academy had the most students.
There were around five thousand students.
Every year, graduates left and replacement students came in, so the difference in numbers was significant.
Thus, the total number generally fluctuated, which was perfectly normal.
After all, not every six-year-old child could become a Soul Master after awakening their martial soul.
They needed Soul Power to become Soul Masters.
Even if they only possessed half a rank of Soul Power, they still qualified.
Yet most people did not even possess half a rank of Soul Power.
Their numbers were extremely limited.
Take Su Yuntao, for example. He had traveled through several villages and awakened the martial souls of many children, yet Tang San was the only child he encountered with Soul Power.
Moreover, Tang San had been born into a martial soul family.
Otherwise, he might not have possessed Soul Power either.
Therefore, even if Spirit Hall Academy wanted to expand its enrollment, it could not do so because Soul Masters were too scarce.
At night, Spirit City was exceptionally lively.
As the headquarters of Soul Masters, Spirit City could be said to surpass even Heaven Dou City and Star Luo City, the capitals of the two great Heaven Dou and Star Luo Empires.
When Qian Renxue arrived on the streets, she wanted to look at, touch, buy, and eat everything she saw.
Qian Ye naturally indulged her wishes, buying her several new dresses, clothes, and pairs of shoes.
She was overjoyed.
Naturally, Qian Ye did not neglect himself either. He bought several sets of clothes and shoes as well.
Early the next morning.
Qian Ye climbed out of bed. Sunlight streamed through the window and fell before his bed, forcing him to get up.
Today was the first day of the new term at Spirit Hall Academy, and he had to report to his classroom.
"Brother Qian Ye, get up!"
Qian Renxue's voice came from outside just as Qian Ye got out of bed.
He had not expected the girl to be even more eager than he was.
When he opened the door, he indeed saw Qian Renxue in a yellow short dress, looking even more beautiful.
"Xiaoxue, have you had breakfast?"
"Not yet!"
Qian Ye took Qian Renxue's hand and headed toward the cafeteria...
After finishing breakfast, the two found their class.
Qian Ye found a desk in the back and sat down.
This spot gave him a perfect view of the entire class and kept him far from the teacher.
As the saying went, distance made the heart grow fonder.
And from so far away, the teacher's spit would not spray onto him while lecturing.
Qian Renxue sat in front of him. With the two seated one behind the other, they could look out for each other.
"What's your name?"
"My name is Bai Lu. What's yours?"
"My name is Niu Lan."
"Has the teacher not arrived yet?"
"I think they'll be here soon!"
"I wonder who our Class One teacher will be?"
"I don't know either. We'll find out when the teacher arrives."
"Mm-hmm..."
As the Class One students gradually arrived, the classroom filled with chatter.
Qian Ye also wanted to know what kind of person their Class One teacher would be.
Tap, tap, tap~
Just then, the sound of high heels came from the classroom entrance.
The students immediately fell silent and all looked toward the door, curious about what their teacher would be like.
Qian Ye and Qian Renxue also turned their gazes toward the entrance.
Sure enough, someone had arrived at the classroom door.
Only then did the students see that it was a woman.
Her figure and face were nearly flawless. She had long legs, sharp eyes, and waist-length purple hair tied into a high ponytail.
A lock of short hair fell down one side of her forehead to her chin.
Her purple outfit further accentuated her perfect curves.
"Is that... the Pope... Your Holiness!"
"Ah... Why would Your Holiness come to our Class One..."
"Is she really the Pope?"
"Yes, I've seen the Pope before. Otherwise, how would I recognize her?"
"But... why is the Pope here? Where is the teacher?"
"I don't know..."
Very quickly, some students recognized that the visitor was Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall's Pope's Palace.
Qian Ye had naturally recognized her long ago, except she was more than ten years younger now than when she had first appeared in the original story.
She looked to be only in her twenties.
Clearly, Qian Ye had met Bibi Dong more than ten or twenty years ahead of the original story's timeline.
Naturally, she was far younger than when she first appeared in the original story.
What surprised Qian Ye was that Bibi Dong was already the Pope. Why had she come to the first-year Class One?
Could it be that she had already learned about him and Qian Renxue coming to study at the academy?
Yes, only that possibility could have brought such a "big shot" personally to the first-year Class One!
And that was indeed the case.
Bibi Dong had come to the first-year Class One precisely because she had learned this information.
Pope Bibi Dong: Check-In Reward in Her Arms—Million-Year Soul Ring
Although nine out of ten of these new students did not recognize Bibi Dong.
Once they heard the other students identify her as the Pope of Spirit Hall, they were immediately frightened into silence.
Even those who had never seen the Pope had still heard of her.
