"You... you're okay, right?"

Du Bei had only wanted to play a prank. He had never expected something this explosive to happen!

Liu Erlong's entire body shook as if she had Parkinson's.

Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was like a cafeteria lady from his previous life having a fit while serving food. The two were practically identical.

"Y-you-you-you-you..."

Liu Erlong's speech was slurred, and she could not form a complete sentence at all.

Electric light flashed across Liu Erlong's body, carrying a bone-piercing chill!

Seeing Du Bei's face brightly lit beneath the blanket, he could not bear it any longer and asked the Magic Mirror.

"How long will this last?"

"I feel like if it doesn't stop soon, this flaming dragon is going to turn into an electric dragon..."

[--(ᗜ𖥦ᗜദ്ദി--]

[Master need not worry. At the end of the day, it is only a learning device. It generally will not last more than five minutes.]

[And you have not yet assigned it a learning objective. This is merely the trial phase before activation.]

After the Magic Mirror's explanation,

Du Bei had more or less grasped how to use the Forced Learning Collar. He could even operate it proficiently now.

The method was simple.

He only needed to set a learning objective for Liu Erlong's collar. Moreover, the concept of the learning objective was extremely vague. As long as Liu Erlong had that concept in her mind, she could basically learn it.

But if the concept could not be achieved,

then the Forced Learning Collar, having failed to reach its learning progress, would deliver five minutes of overclocked learning mode every twelve hours.

Just like Liu Erlong's current situation.

In this state, Liu Erlong's mental processing speed would reach ten times its usual rate, improving her learning efficiency.

The only issue was that the process was a little bit painful.

Emm...

Suddenly, an idea struck Du Bei!

What if he slipped a little something extra into the learning process? Wouldn't that create another form of brainwashing?

For example, before she finished learning a certain subject, if she got distracted and thought about anything else, it would trigger forced learning time...

With one forbidden word specially marked!

The sort where merely thinking of it would instantly trigger forced learning mode, such as—Yu Xiaogang!

Hehehehe...

No time like the present!

Didn't Liu Erlong want this thing to learn that Flaming Dragon Roar soul skill?

He would help her fulfill her wish.

He walked directly to Liu Erlong's side, reached for the Forced Learning Collar around her neck, and began setting its objective.

During the setup,

the necklace temporarily reverted to its original iron-ring form.

[Parental mode activated.]

[Please enter learning objective:...]

[Soul skill: Flaming Dragon Roar (detecting)]

[Data found—loading successful!]

[Please set learning duration—00:00.]

"Hmm, this..."

After thinking for a moment, a time arrangement that had been desirable yet unattainable in his previous life instantly popped into his mind.

An eight-hour workday, with weekends off.

Of course, that was impossible. What a joke. How could he let Liu Erlong enjoy a blessing he himself had never received?

[Learning duration cancelled—automatic observation mode activated.]

[Warning! This mode will maximize the depletion of the user's physical capabilities in order to ensure perfect utilization of learning progress!]

"This one!"

Thinking of Liu Erlong's studious appearance, Du Bei could not help letting out an evil laugh.

The Magic Mirror bounced over from nearby.

The emoticon in the mirror looked over, then could not help pitying the human still unconscious on the ground.

[--∑(O_O;)--]

[Master, isn't this a little immoral?]

"Hehe, what morality?"

"Besides, she chose this herself."

"What does it have to do with us? We're just helping her achieve her goal. Maybe she'll even thank us after she wakes up."

The expression in the mirror was full of disdain.

[--(ಠ.̫.̫ಠ)--]

[Although I do not wish to say it outright, according to my analysis, Master may be a bit of a pervert...]

Feeling guilty, Du Bei scratched his head.

"Don't talk nonsense. Do I look like that kind of person?"

"Alright, enough nonsense." Once he was done, Du Bei restored the learning device to the form of a ruby necklace.

He stood up and looked at that alluring body.

He clicked his tongue regretfully.

"What a pity. The group chat has been upgraded now..." Otherwise, under these circumstances, he would have been unable to restrain himself long ago.

Now, he could only look.

Unless Liu Erlong herself agreed, there was nothing he could do no matter what methods he used—unless, of course, he used parental mode.

He glanced at the necklace.

"Forget it. There's no need to rush. I'll take it slowly later. The setting is already in there anyway."

"Let's go, let's go. We still have a journey to make in a few days."

Spirit Hall.

The Pope's chambers.

Bibi Dong slowly walked over to the dressing table as she dried her hair, admiring her lovely reflection in the mirror.

She reached out and smoothed the hair by her ear.

Bibi Dong was in an exceptionally good mood. It was an emotion she had never felt before, and she could not help humming softly.

"Hmm~ hmm-hmm~..."

Just as Bibi Dong finished drying her hair and began arranging it into a bun, there came a knock at the door behind her.

Staring at the dressing table, Bibi Dong did not turn around and continued arranging her hair, though a faint smile appeared at the corner of her lips.

She called gently toward the door.

"Is that Nana? Come in."

"Teacher!"

Without interrupting Bibi Dong's grooming, Hu Liena rushed up from behind and wrapped her arms around Bibi Dong in an intimate embrace.

Bibi Dong was not displeased in the slightest.

She merely gazed fondly at Hu Liena's smiling face in the mirror and teased her with a smile.

"What is it, Nana?"

"You look so happy. Did something good happen?"

If outsiders saw this gentle demeanor,

they would probably be shocked speechless! She was practically a different person from the Pope Bibi Dong of the past.

Ever since putting on the golden necklace, Bibi Dong had changed completely.

Bibi Dong, who had once often harbored extreme thoughts, had successfully regained control of herself under the golden necklace's effects.

She was no longer affected by the Rakshasa God's malicious thoughts from time to time, clouding her judgment as before.

"Teacher, Teacher! I have good news for you!"

"I already know what Big Goose's name is in the group chat! He is..."

Hu Liena was bursting with excitement.

After learning about Bibi Dong's circumstances, Hu Liena often came here to spend time with her teacher and strengthen their bond.

Bibi Dong found this very comforting as well.

But just as Hu Liena was about to continue, Bibi Dong stopped her.

"Alright, it's enough that you know."

Bibi Dong tapped Hu Liena's nose with her index finger, her eyes filled with a gentle smile.

There was not the slightest trace of the imposing Pope she had once been.

"Ah? Is that so?"

"But I worked so hard to probe it out..." Hu Liena instantly became a little dejected. So all her efforts had been for nothing.

"You, you. Put away those little schemes of yours."

"Alright, stop clinging to your teacher. Get up and help me dress..."

At those words, Hu Liena, who had still been somewhat sullen, instantly perked up! She stared intently at her teacher...

"Teacher, why are yours so..."

"Shut up, Nana. You're getting bolder and bolder, daring to tease even your teacher! You're asking for a beating!"

"Ohohoho! Teacher, I was wrong, I was wrong!"
