Remember What I Told You-Don't Mess with Anyone Carrying a Hammer!

The bright moon hung in the sky, and a gentle breeze stirred.

That night in the Pope's Bedchamber seemed a little more unusual than usual.

The next morning, dawn broke.

When the first rays of morning sunlight shone into the side hall of the Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong opened her eyes.

As the Pope of the Spirit Hall and a supremely gifted Soul Master on the Douluo Continent, she had never imagined she would have such a wildly outrageous night.

She looked down at the little child curled up in her arms, sleeping with both hands wrapped tightly around her arm. A faint smile appeared on her weary face.

So, in this little fellow's heart, she was still that important!

But when she saw her torn long dress, Bibi Dong couldn't help reflecting in secret. Had she rewarded the little fellow too soon?

He had gone so far last night. She absolutely couldn't let this happen again!

But the moment she thought of what had happened the night before, a flush spread across Bibi Dong's beautiful face. It was so embarrassing.

Yet when she remembered that Lin Tian was about to leave for a period of training, a trace of sadness crept into her heart.

"If I really miss him, I can sneak out of the Pope's Bedchamber at night and go find him in the Star Dou Forest. He's already left his mark on me, so finding him shouldn't be too hard..."

Thinking this, Bibi Dong glanced at Lin Tian.

She never would have thought that this little fellow before her could stir the heart she had kept sealed away for so many years. It was truly unexpected.

Seeing that Lin Tian was sleeping soundly and didn't seem likely to wake anytime soon, Bibi Dong blushed and leaned down of her own accord, gently kissing his forehead.

"You little rascal, don't forget about me when you go out to train!"

After saying this, Bibi Dong slipped away quietly, leaving only the child fast asleep on the bed.

Much later, as the light of dawn filtered through the window and into the side hall of the Pope's Bedchamber, Lin Tian finally stirred awake.

Last night's dream had been so sweet.

Even now, Lin Tian could still taste a hint of sweetness at the corner of his mouth.

That mountain with the scent of gardenias had been so sweet.

Meanwhile, inside the Worship Hall.

Beneath the solemn, divine Angel God Statue, Grand Elder Qian Daoliu had been waiting for some time.

He had already learned that Bibi Dong had spent the previous night in the side hall of the Holy Son's Bedchamber.

Though he disapproved of that woman's outrageous behavior, as the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, he could understand.

Women, right? It was normal!

But Lin Tian was the Dao Protector chosen by the Angel God, as well as the future successor to the position of Grand Elder of the Worship Hall. Qian Daoliu didn't want him getting too close to women.

The holy light must never be defiled by filth and evil, or the Angel God would be angry!

That was exactly why, the moment Lin Tian entered the Worship Hall, Qian Daoliu's gaze turned a little angry.

This brat had gone too far.

He had clearly accepted the Angel God's faith, so why was he still getting involved with that woman? It was infuriating!

"Lin Tian, as a servant of the Angel God, I have to remind you: from now on, stay away from that woman! The filth on her will taint you!"

"You are the future Dao Protector of the Angel God, a being of holy light! You must never be so intimate with that woman again."

Qian Daoliu's expression was solemn, and his tone was several shades sterner than before.

"Grand Elder, I'm devoted to the Angel God. I'm with Her Holiness the Pope because I want to use the power of the Angel God's faith to change her. I want her to become a believer of the Angel God too!"

"After all, the holy, righteous, and radiant Angel God would never judge a believer by their origins!"

Lin Tian stood to the side, neither servile nor overbearing, and spoke to Qian Daoliu with reason and conviction.

"You brat, what a sharp tongue..."

Qian Daoliu was at a loss for words, unsure how to argue with Lin Tian.

"Grand Elder, I came to see you today because there's something important I'd like to discuss with you."

Hearing Lin Tian say this, Qian Daoliu furrowed his brows and looked at him in confusion.

Lin Tian was gifted and clever, a child destined for great things. The only thing Qian Daoliu was dissatisfied with was that Lin Tian's reverence for the Angel God wasn't pure enough.

To him, faith in the Angel God seemed almost optional, and that really got under Qian Daoliu's skin.

So everything he had done before had gone in one of the brat's ears and straight out the other!

Even so, Qian Daoliu couldn't hide how fond he was of the boy.

Though Lin Tian had the same Twin Martial Souls as the woman in the Pope Palace—Soul-Eater Spider Emperor and Death Spider Emperor—he simply carried less of an aura of evil.

It was truly exasperating!

"Brat, go on. What do you want?"

Qian Daoliu clasped his hands behind his back and looked at Lin Tian, helplessly.

Lin Tian hadn't even spoken yet, but Qian Daoliu could already tell from his expression that he had come with something on his mind.

But what could it be?

Could it have something to do with that woman...

Could that woman be pregnant...

At the thought, Qian Daoliu's eyes instantly turned cold. The pressure of a level-99 Titled Douluo swept through the entire Worship Hall's main chamber.

Xiongshi, Azure Luan, Golden Crocodile, and the other offerings, who had been cultivating in the Inner Hall, were all startled and hurried over.

"Grand Elder, are we going to war with that madwoman?! I, Xiongshi, volunteer to be the first to fight!"

Xiongshi clasped his hands together and spoke in a deep, booming voice.

"Elder Brother, you're so furious. Did that woman really rebel? Or is something wrong with Xiao Xue..."

Golden Crocodile, clad in gleaming armor, looked at Qian Daoliu in confusion. He found it hard to believe that the usually composed and steady Grand Elder could lose his temper like this.

"I'm fine. There's no need for any of you to worry."

Qian Daoliu waved a hand at Golden Crocodile and the others, signaling that they didn't need to worry and that he was fine.

Seeing that the Grand Elder was a little angry, Lin Tian bowed and said:

"Grand Elder, I want to leave the Spirit Hall and travel around the Douluo Continent!"

Hearing this, Qian Daoliu showed no surprise.

It seemed he had expected this all along. Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded and agreed to Lin Tian's request.

"It's always good for a child to go out and train. A towering tree can't grow in a greenhouse, and an eagle can't take flight from a cage!"

"You can go out and train, but don't mess with anyone carrying a hammer!"

"Also, when you leave, have Azure Luan go with you!"

"If you can't adjust to life out there, remember to come back at once!"

Qian Daoliu looked at Lin Tian. Though he was reluctant, in the end, he nodded and agreed to the request.

"Remember what I told you. Don't mess with anyone carrying a hammer!"
