[White as Snow: ??? What the hell did Bibi Dong just send? Why was she yelling like Liu Erlong?]
[Big Goose: Same question, same question. "Eating watermelon."]
[Little Princess: Oh ho~ Could she be playing with something not very proper? @Hu Liena. What is your teacher doing? Spill it?]
[Big Radish: Why does this sound more and more familiar the longer I listen...]
[Stray Cat: Stop asking around and go to sleep. And don't touch me randomly... "Shy."]
[Hu Liena: ??? @Bibi Dong! Teacher, where are you? Why can't I find you? "Dumbfounded."]
"What did you send in the group?"
"Why is half the group talking about you? Did you send a message just now?"
Looking at the family member beside him, Du Bei asked in confusion.
However, Bibi Dong turned her face away, completely unable to look at the hero beside her who had defeated her.
Faced with her silence, the truth spoke for itself.
After a long while,
Unable to endure this invisible bullying any longer, Bibi Dong finally turned her head back awkwardly. Looking into Du Bei's eyes, she stammered out an explanation.
"At the time... I just wanted to tell Nana that she didn't need to wait for me tonight and should go to sleep first..."
"After all, I've been sleeping with Nana these past few days..."
Looking at Bibi Dong's flushed face,
Du Bei opened his mouth, but he did not know what to say. He could only reach out and stroke the soft hair by Bibi Dong's ear, brushing it behind her head.
"Alright, it's not your fault."
"Does it still hurt?"
He looked at Bibi Dong kindly, afraid that he might have accidentally hurt her during their friendly match just now. If that had happened, he would feel rather guilty.
However, Bibi Dong was not some delicate woman.
No matter what, Pope Bibi Dong was a Titled Douluo who had already broken through level 99. She was immensely powerful, and her recovery ability was no empty boast.
A small injury like this would be fine after a short rest.
"Stop for a while first. I need to explain things to Nana and the people in the group, otherwise they'll start spreading rumors about me again."
"I don't want to stir up the group's anger like Liu Erlong..."
Hearing this, Du Bei cooperatively withdrew his hand and wiped it on the blanket beside him.
As for what he was wiping off, those who knew, knew...
[Detected that the host's activity has ended--]
[Hidden achievement completed!]
[Character Binding Module initializing--]
The sudden system announcement
made Du Bei pause slightly.
"???"
Even his motion of preparing to drink his goji berry tea stopped as he waited to see what kind of strange reward this was.
The first time had been a door-opening reward.
The second time had been a home run reward!
Now this was the third time. What the hell was it this time?
[Name: Bibi Dong (Bound) Binding--First Soul Ring (Replaced) Growth--16 (1 to 100 years) Duration: None → 1,600 years (Purple)]
Damn!
That was seriously insane!
It had directly bound to the first Soul Ring! And the Soul Ring's duration increased with the number of times! Wasn't that ridiculously awesome?!
Before Du Bei could celebrate for long,
another question surfaced in his mind. There were already eleven people in the group.
If all nine Soul Rings were filled,
what would happen to the rest?
Could it directly unlock a second Martial Soul?
Thinking of this, Du Bei excitedly questioned the chat group assistant in a hurry!
[If all Soul Rings have been filled.]
[A second Martial Soul will automatically be unlocked, and so on--]
Having received the answer, Du Bei became thoroughly excited!
If the chat group worked like that, then once the group had thirty or forty members in the future,
wouldn't he be able to unlock a third Martial Soul? And even a fourth Martial Soul? Wouldn't that make him invincible?
Just as Du Bei was getting excited!
A cool jade-like hand suddenly clasped his!
Du Bei shivered in surprise and turned toward the side, where he met the beauty's undisguised, burning gaze.
"What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed?"
"I've already smoothed things over on my end. Why are you still spacing out? We..."
Heavenly thunder ignited earthly fire! The pagoda suppressed the river demon!
At the same time.
Heaven Dou City.
The Crown Prince's Residence.
"Strange..."
Qian Renxue rubbed her chin. She felt that there was something strange about Bibi Dong in the group, as though she were hiding something.
After pacing back and forth for a long time,
Qian Renxue decided to take a look at the suspicious secret room.
Of course, not her own secret room.
It was Bibi Dong's secret room, which, as far as she knew, had always been open to outsiders. She was going in to take a look!
Qian Renxue's instincts told her that there had to be something fishy going on.
Of course, she was not the only one with that thought.
Spirit Hall.
The Pope's Bedchamber.
Having failed to wait for her teacher to return, Hu Liena was also preparing to enter her teacher's secret room to see whether her teacher was inside.
However, before she could enter,
a notification popped up before her eyes.
[Insufficient permission for this secret room--Unable to enter!]
???
[Hu Liena: Teacher! Are you in the secret room? Why can't I get in? Why did you revoke my permission? Did something happen to you? Nana is really worried about you! Can you let Nana in?]
[Bo Saixi: Although I really don't want to say anything, why do I feel like something is strange about you two as master and disciple? Did something improper happen between you? "Suspicious--"]
[Little Princess: I'm at Shrek and locked outside the door. When I saw your message, my originally unhappy mood instantly fell apart.]
[White as Snow: It is indeed a little suspicious, but there's no need to be so distrustful, right? We're all in the same group chat. We should get along properly.]
As always, Qian Renxue maintained harmony within the group.
She had also tried entering Bibi Dong's secret room just now, and it had likewise shown insufficient permission.
But she would not reveal that in the group.
If she did, her disguise would be exposed too, and that would not be worth it. She still wanted to maintain her image in the group.
As for her mother's matter...
She could deal with it later.
In any case, Bibi Dong had seemed much more normal lately. At worst, she could ask when mother and son acknowledged each other in the future.
There was no rush.
It was not as though her mother could possibly be out there finding a man, right? Rather than believe something like that, she might as well believe that the uncle in the group had won her mother over.
Thinking about it seriously, how could that possibly be true?
[Spring Breeze Brings New Life: The people in this group are so lively. It feels so full of life~]
[Big Goose: How could you tell?]
[Liu Erlong: Day after day, I think that bitch Bibi Dong must have found a man outside! Otherwise, why would she hide things so tightly? "Thumbs down" "Pinky."]
[Bo Saixi: Does the Pope on your continent play that wildly? She even goes out looking for men? "Confused."]
[Hu Liena: Don't listen to that bad woman! Teacher is not that kind of person!]
[Liu Erlong: Tch~ You're her disciple. Who knows whether what you're saying is true? "Pinky."]
Seeing this message, Hu Liena instantly exploded!
They could insult her, but they absolutely could not insult her teacher! Did they really think this little fox was easy to provoke?
Hu Liena immediately stopped holding back.
She began cursing wildly in the group!
[Hu Liena: You **! You should go *** with that pig Yu Xiaogang of yours! How does trash like you even have the nerve to live in this world? I **...]
[Everyone: Whoa~ That language is fierce.]
As for Liu Erlong's side?
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Watching the shocking scene of heavenly thunder igniting earthly fire, lightning flashing and thunder rumbling on the back mountain!
The teachers taking an evening stroll discussed it among themselves.
"The dean is training again?"
"Isn't she? The commotion is even bigger than last time. The dean really works hard..."
Everyone sighed in admiration.
