Women are like eggs, peel them layer by layer!

Night fell outside the window.

Bibi Dong dismissed the guards at her sides and sat alone upon the Pope's throne, quietly gazing out the window as countless thoughts filled her mind.

The child she had once carried back from the rear mountain of Spirit Hall had now grown into the finest of the Spirit Hall Golden Generation.

What Bibi Dong had never expected was that this little rascal not only possessed exceptional talent and aptitude, but also knew how to please people. Otherwise, she would never have given herself to him.

Whenever she was with him, Bibi Dong found joy—something she had never anticipated before.

In a few days, it would be time for Lin Tian to venture out. She hoped he would make some new gains.

Perhaps, with that handsome face of his, he might even draw a few talented disciples into Spirit Hall.

Bishop Qiu Dekao had been right tonight. She truly ought to build a fresh force of her own.

After all, the Angel Clan possessed deep foundations. With only herself and Lin Tian, it would likely be difficult to shake them easily.

That was precisely why she had decided that, while Lin Tian was out gaining experience, he should recruit as many talented soul masters as possible. Spirit Hall would pour its resources into them and let them develop ahead of their time!

However, before allowing Lin Tian to leave, Bibi Dong still decided to give him some special rewards, so that he would remember her presence amid the beauty-filled Douluo Continent!

Having made up her mind, Bibi Dong took a deep breath, then turned and left the Pope's main hall, heading toward the side chamber of the Pope's Bedchamber where Lin Tian was staying.

For some reason, whenever she thought of Lin Tian's handsome face, rosy clouds bloomed across Bibi Dong's exquisite cheeks.

Heaven knew.

What sort of mischief that little rascal would get up to tonight.

But there was nothing she could do. After all, he already had a place in her heart.

With a small flicker of anticipation in her heart, Bibi Dong adjusted her gauze dress and tucked a loose strand of hair from her forehead back behind her head.

After all, she had promised him special rewards!

Tonight, she probably would not be getting away easily.

"Ah~"

Bibi Dong parted her crimson lips and let out a soft sigh before slowly stepping into the darkness.

As the sun set and dusk deepened, autumn rain fell amid the chirping of cicadas.

Lin Tian, who was meditating in the side chamber, suddenly caught the scent of a familiar fragrance.

Mother Pope had arrived!

Lin Tian let out a long breath, a hint of delight appearing on his handsome face. He hurriedly leaped off the bed and trotted over to Bibi Dong.

Without the slightest hesitation, he bent down, scooped up Her Holiness the Pope, and gently tossed her onto the bed.

"You are far too rude! I am the Pope of Spirit Hall!"

Bibi Dong had not expected this little rascal to pick her up the moment they met. He was truly being far too presumptuous!

Yet when she thought of how the boy before her would soon be leaving to gain experience, the words of reproach that had reached her lips were swallowed back down.

Tonight, she decided to increase Lin Tian's reward, so that she could hold a more important place in this child's heart.

"Lin Tian, Mother has something she needs your help with..."

Bibi Dong had intended to finish speaking, but before she could, the young man before her pressed a finger to her lips.

"Mother, if there is anything you need me to do, just say the word. There is no need for such cumbersome formalities between us."

Lin Tian spoke decisively. He did not want there to be too many barriers between himself and Mother Pope.

"Lin Tian, Mother wants you to bring more talented disciples back to Spirit Hall. I want to form a fresh force, a squad of soul masters that obeys only my commands."

Bibi Dong sat up, her rose-red eyes fixed intently on the young man before her.

The Douluo Continent was teeming with talent.

If she could bring some gifted disciples under her command, her chances of destroying the Angel Clan would rise by several degrees.

Lin Tian said nothing, merely focusing on collecting his reward. He was unwilling to waste even a second of his time alone with a stunning mature beauty like Bibi Dong.

A bright moon hung high in the sky outside, its silver light spilling across the earth and casting mottled colors over the ground.

Within the side chamber of the bedchamber, spring was in full bloom. The occasional sounds of cats meowing drifted out, stirring one's heart all the more.

Within the tallest building of Spirit Hall, constructed from white jade bricks and stone, Angel Grand Elder Qian Daoliu withdrew his golden gaze with considerable helplessness.

He had long since become aware of everything taking place in the side chamber of the Pope's Bedchamber.

He truly had not expected Lin Tian, who had received the Angel God's baptism, to be so unable to restrain himself. That disappointed him somewhat.

But when he thought of Bibi Dong's long, shapely jade-like legs, Qian Daoliu seemed to understand a little.

Men were naturally powerless against beautiful women with long legs!

What was more, she was a stunning mature beauty with a graceful figure. It was understandable that Lin Tian had fallen beneath her charms.

Even so, Grand Elder Qian Daoliu still had some complaints about Lin Tian.

You did not want Qian Renxue, with her fair skin, beautiful face, and long legs.

Yet you turned around and made a move on the mother of his own granddaughter. That was truly going too far.

If this kid hadn't already been chosen by the Angel God as Xiao Xue's Dao Protector, Qian Daoliu would've made sure he got a taste of the Worship Hall's special treatment.

Damn it!

Some snot-nosed brat was messing around with his daughter-in-law—did he really think the Qian family had no men left?!

The more Qian Daoliu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he blamed it all on Tang Hao.

If that bastard hadn't struck so heavily, how could his—Qian Daoliu's—beloved son have died in the prime of his life?!

"Tang Hao, once this old man gets his hands on you, you're in for a world of pain!"

Qian Daoliu stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes brimming with icy killing intent.

Meanwhile, in a side hall of the bedchamber, Bibi Dong told Lin Tian everything about her plan to build a new force.

Hearing this, Lin Tian blinked but did not give a complete answer.

He merely said softly from beside her:

"Don't worry. I already have a plan. Spirit Hall is inferior to no one, to no force! Only by joining Spirit Hall can geniuses make the fullest use of their abilities."

"I plan to set out on this training journey in three days. Maybe I really will run into some talented soul masters. When that happens, I'll bring them back."

Bibi Dong nodded. A trace of shy sweetness appeared on her incomparably beautiful face, while a blush spread across her long swanlike neck.

The Pope had long since shed the noble and imposing demeanor she wore during the day. At this moment, she was as shy and captivating as a young girl.

Just as Lin Tian blew out the candle and prepared to begin his assault, the breathtakingly beautiful Pope reached out to stop him. A trace of pleading appeared in her rose-red eyes.

"Good boy, not yet~"

A hint of disappointment surfaced in Lin Tian's eyes.

He had expected a hard battle tonight, but judging by the current situation, he feared he would have to retreat in defeat.

Perhaps noticing that something was off with Lin Tian's expression, Bibi Dong hurriedly leaned close to his ear and whispered softly:

"Silly boy, how can you be so rough? A woman is like an egg—you have to peel her layer by layer..."
