The atmosphere turned somewhat subtle at this moment.
The distance between the two was already short, and Hu Liena suddenly took a step forward, actively closing the gap to stand right in front of Qin Feng.
A faint, delicate fragrance wafted toward him, reminiscent of a perfectly ripened peach.
This sudden proximity caught Qin Feng slightly off guard.
Before he could react, Hu Liena suddenly stood on her tiptoes, her hands pressing gently against Qin Feng's shoulders.
A sensation like an electric shock instantly coursed through his entire body.
This sudden kiss did not last long.
After only a fleeting touch, Hu Liena pulled back abruptly, like a startled little deer.
Her pretty face, already flushed, was now so red it looked as if it might bleed.
"You... don't get any ideas! This was just a parting gift for you!"
Stammering out this unconvincing excuse, Hu Liena turned and fled the courtyard in a panic.
Watching her graceful figure scramble away, Qin Feng stood frozen in place.
He subconsciously raised a hand, his fingertips gently brushing against his lips.
His mind kept replaying that sweet, soft sensation from just a moment ago.
After a long while, Qin Feng finally snapped back to his senses.
"Damn it."
"To think she stole my first kiss without me even noticing!"
Qin Feng shook his head and chuckled; the little fox's courage was truly far greater than he had imagined.
Just as Qin Feng was reminiscing, deep within the Pope Palace on the other side of Spirit Hall, things were far from calm.
Bibi Dong sat upright on her high throne, holding an urgent secret scroll that had just been submitted.
The moment her beautiful face took in the contents of the scroll, her expression shifted drastically.
At the level of a forty-fifth-rank Soul Ancestor, he had single-handedly killed a sixty-thousand-year-level Thousand-Junction Ant Emperor deep within the Star Dou Great Forest!
The slender, jade-like hand holding the scroll trembled slightly.
That was a ferocious sixty-thousand-year-level soul beast; even an ordinary Soul Emperor would take a detour upon encountering one, and a moment of carelessness would mean certain death.
Qin Feng, a mere forty-fifth-rank Soul Ancestor, had not only killed the Thousand-Junction Ant Emperor head-on but had also walked away unscathed!
Such a battle record was something even she, who was hailed as the number one of Spirit Hall's younger generation back in the day, could never have achieved.
To bridge a gap of several ten-thousand-year levels—what terrifying potential and martial soul strength this must require!
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, the rise and fall of her chest refusing to settle for a long time.
She recalled everything that had happened in the Chat Group over the past few days, specifically the theories thrown around regarding martial soul evolution and soul ring matching.
Initially, she had been somewhat skeptical.
But now, with this solid, heaven-defying battle record laid out before her, all those theories were undoubtedly correct.
"No wonder that old thing Qian Daoliu is so eager to set up Qian Renxue with this Qin Feng."
A sharp glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she suddenly realized the truth.
A top-tier talent like this, appearing once in a century or even a millennium, would be an supreme existence capable of shifting the landscape of the entire continent once he matured.
Qian Daoliu wanted to use this marriage to bind Qin Feng to the Angel Clan's chariot, thereby consolidating the Qian family's ruling position!
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, a plan forming in her mind.
Since he was such a rare and exceptional talent, she naturally could not let Qian Daoliu get his way so easily.
"Someone, bring the Saintess here."
Bibi Dong raised her voice, issuing the command toward the outside of the hall.
Before long, Hu Liena, who had just managed to calm her emotions, walked into the hall with small, quick steps and bowed respectfully.
"Teacher, you summoned me."
Bibi Dong looked at her most satisfactory personal disciple and parted her red lips.
"Nana, Qin Feng is set to depart for the Heaven Dou Empire in the next two days."
"Prepare yourself and accompany him."
Upon hearing this, Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, her charming peach-blossom eyes filled with confusion.
Bibi Dong did not beat around the bush and stated her intentions directly.
"This Qin Feng has extraordinary talent and a limitless future. Since you two will be traveling alone together, you must make a great effort, do you understand?"
"If you can win him over to our side, your contribution will be the greatest."
Hearing her teacher's blunt words, Hu Liena's pretty face turned beet red in an instant.
It was clear as day that she wanted to set her up with Qin Feng and have her use a honey trap!
"Teacher... Nana understands. I will work hard."
Hu Liena lowered her head, her hands restlessly twisting the hem of her clothes, her voice as faint as a mosquito's hum.
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, clearly pleased by her disciple's docility.
After walking out of the Pope Palace, Hu Liena touched her burning cheeks, her heart pounding like a drum.
Qin Feng's handsome face involuntarily surfaced in her mind again.
I am only doing this to complete the mission Teacher assigned.
Yes, everything is for the mission; it is definitely not because I have any feelings for him!
Hu Liena muttered to herself, attempting to calm her inner agitation through such self-deception.
At this moment, far away at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy within the Heaven Dou Empire.
Qian Renxue, disguised as the current Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, sat before a wide sandalwood desk in the study, resting her chin in her hands as she stared blankly.
In the center of the desk lay a top-secret letter from Spirit Hall.
The sender was none other than her grandfather, the Grand Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu.
The content of the letter was very straightforward, clearly informing her that Qin Feng would soon arrive in Heaven Dou City to find her.
In the letter, Qian Daoliu praised Qin Feng's heaven-defying aptitude extensively, even going so far as to unabashedly hint that he was an extraordinary talent worthy of being entrusted with her life.
Between the lines, it was filled with an eager anticipation to hold a great-grandchild soon.
What Qian Renxue found most unbearable was that her grandfather had specifically urged her at the end of the letter to be bold when facing Qin Feng, and not to miss out on this match made in heaven.
"How much bolder?"
"Grandfather is truly something, to even write such things!"
Qian Renxue grabbed her hair in frustration, her beautiful face full of conflict.
The usually decisive and ruthless Heaven Dou Crown Prince looked like a bewildered, ordinary young girl at this moment.
She read the secret order three or four times, feeling her face burn with heat each time.
How could her grandfather, a man who was usually so dignified and rigid, become so impatient when it came to this matter?
Since childhood, she had shouldered the heavy responsibility of usurping the Heaven Dou Empire, disguising herself as a man for years; how could she possibly understand such matters of romance?
With no idea what to do, Qian Renxue could only sink her consciousness into the Chat Group in her mind.
After hesitating for a long time, she began to type in the input box.
[I Have No Mom]: "If one encounters relationship problems and doesn't know how to handle them, what should one do?"
As soon as the message was sent, the previously quiet Chat Group instantly stirred to life.
Those who had been lurking emerged one after another.
[Pope]: "???"
[Gentle Fire Dragon]: "???"
[My Son Is Not A Bastard]: "???"
