Yu Xiaofeng was startled upon hearing this, secretly admiring how vicious Bibi Dong's words were.

First, she had called him her "godson." That directly made it clear that he, Yu Xiaofeng, had always been her godson; she simply had never said so. Otherwise, would Bibi Dong have casually brought some boy back to Spirit Hall?

Then came, "Stop making trouble with your Grandpa Qian." That was even more vicious. The unspoken meaning was: If he was Bibi Dong's godson, then wasn't he also Qian Daoliu's godgrandson? Why did Qian Daoliu need to acknowledge him all over again and make things so troublesome?

Finally, "Come, come to Mommy's arms." That expressed Bibi Dong's feelings at this moment and proved her determination to claim Yu Xiaofeng for herself.

At the same time, this was probably a test—a test for Yu Xiaofeng. She perhaps wanted to see whether he was someone who repaid kindness.

After all, Bibi Dong had saved his life. If he agreed to Qian Daoliu now, then Yu Xiaofeng could forget about leaving Spirit Hall alive. If she could not have him, she probably would not let Qian Daoliu have him either.

Yu Xiaofeng had already withdrawn his Soul Power. Looking at the smiling Bibi Dong, then glancing at Qian Daoliu, he felt rather conflicted.

Yu Xiaofeng had no intention of considering Qian Daoliu's offer to make him his godgrandson. This man had resorted to any means necessary, even having his own son force himself on Bibi Dong. Yu Xiaofeng wished he could kill this old fox immediately.

Yet Bibi Dong had saved him. A drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring, much less the saving of his life.

So when Bibi Dong had previously said she would take him as her direct disciple, he had already made his decision.

Now, she had even offered to acknowledge him as her godson. Honestly, she had done more than enough.

Yu Xiaofeng slowly walked toward Bibi Dong, which was enough to show his attitude.

Qian Daoliu's expression, however, was no longer as pleasant as before. He had never expected this woman to truly oppose him.

And this ungrateful Yu Xiaofeng had publicly rejected him. Who was he?

He was His Holiness the Pope of Spirit Hall, "Qian Daoliu," the man who controlled all of Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall spanned the entire continent. In the whole Soul Master world, a single word from Qian Daoliu could make the entire world tremble. Who the hell would dare deny him even a little face?

Yet today, his warm face had met a cold ass. Not only had he gained nothing, but an ant had slapped him in the face again and again. If Bibi Dong had not been present, he would have killed Yu Xiaofeng with one palm strike.

Watching Yu Xiaofeng walk toward Bibi Dong from the side, Qian Daoliu laughed heartily. "So Yu Xiaofeng is your godson. Why didn't you say so earlier? You had this old man worrying for half the day."

Bibi Dong stroked Yu Xiaofeng's forehead with one hand and replied to Qian Daoliu with an enthusiastic smile, "I truly didn't know you were coming before, so I didn't mention it."

"But just now, I saw how interested you were. If I still didn't say anything, that would have been rather improper."

After a pause, she pushed Yu Xiaofeng in front of her with one hand. Then Bibi Dong said, "Xiaofeng, why don't you apologize to Grandpa Qian?"

Yu Xiaofeng felt helpless. Neither of these two is easy to deal with.

He immediately put on an innocent smile, ran to Qian Daoliu's side, and grabbed his arm. "Grandpa Qian, don't be angry anymore. From now on, Xiaofeng will listen to you, okay?"

There was no helping it. No matter what, Yu Xiaofeng had lived a second life. If he wanted Qian Daoliu to abandon the thought of killing him, he could only resort to crying, making a scene, and threatening suicide.

As soon as he finished speaking, tears fell from Yu Xiaofeng's eyes. He immediately burst into loud sobs, crying as he shouted, "Grandpa Qian, are you angry with me? Do you not love this godgrandson of yours anymore?"

"If you're angry and don't want to pay attention to Xiaofeng anymore, then what meaning is there in Xiaofeng staying alive?"

As soon as Yu Xiaofeng finished speaking, he released Qian Daoliu's arm and charged straight toward a table nearby.

This scene caught Qian Daoliu completely off guard. Not just him—even Bibi Dong was stunned.

But who were Qian Daoliu and Bibi Dong?

With their cultivation realms, would they let a newly awakened child smash his head to death right in front of them?

Qian Daoliu took a quick step forward and grabbed Yu Xiaofeng, immediately scolding him, "Xiaofeng, what are you doing? When did Grandpa Qian ever say he didn't love you?"

"You are not allowed to do such foolish things again in the future, understand?"

With tears in his eyes and snot running down his face, Yu Xiaofeng nodded. "I understand. Grandpa Qian is the best."

Only then did the few people in the hall let out a sigh of relief. If he had died just like that, what would people say if word got out?

Bibi Dong slowly walked over, took Yu Xiaofeng's hand, and said, "Don't do such foolish things again in the future, understand?"

Yu Xiaofeng nodded aggrievedly.

Only after Yu Xiaofeng returned to his room did he finally let out a breath.

I finally got through that. For now, I should be able to fool that old fox Qian Daoliu for a while.

Once he and the others come to their senses, I should be able to leave this place too.

What matters most now is cultivating as quickly as possible. If I want to survive in this world, cultivation is the most important thing. Besides, if things follow the novel's timeline, Bibi Dong's ending will be far too tragic.

Saving a life is worth more than building a seven-story pagoda. You, Bibi Dong, saved me. I, Yu Xiaofeng, won't forget this kindness. I'm still too weak right now, so I can only repay you in the future.

Having made up his mind, Yu Xiaofeng sat cross-legged and began cultivating.

Yu Xiaofeng's cultivation speed once again shocked Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu. Qian Daoliu, who had just been preparing to send someone to kill Yu Xiaofeng, decided to wait after hearing the news. After all, they had not yet completely fallen out, and he was still Yu Xiaofeng's Grandpa Qian. What if Yu Xiaofeng's earlier words had been sincere?

Qian Daoliu temporarily gave up the thought of killing Yu Xiaofeng and instead chose to monitor him. If it was confirmed that he was a rare genius, then Qian Daoliu could use his identity as Grandpa Qian to win him over again.

If Yu Xiaofeng refused again, then he could only be killed.

Yu Xiaofeng did not know at this moment that his cultivation speed had saved his life. He was currently traveling with Bibi Dong in search of a soul ring.

Bibi Dong led Yu Xiaofeng onward. As Yu Xiaofeng gazed at the star-filled night sky, he could not help feeling emotional. After all, the night sky in his previous life had never been this beautiful.

Bibi Dong said, "Over these past few months, you have gained a basic understanding of martial souls. Your talent is excellent, and you are willing to work hard. In a few years, you may even catch up to Hu Liena's pace. Have you decided what soul beast you want for your first soul ring?"

While admiring the scenery around him, Yu Xiaofeng answered, "My Rebirth Eye martial soul is rather special. Its development focuses on gravity and repulsion. Godmother, what soul beast do you think would suit me?"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaofeng's words, Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with surprise. After thinking for a moment, she said, "The Repulsion Rock Beast, around several decades old, is a soul beast that survives by eating ore and metal. Like humans, it walks upright on two legs, though it lowers its forelimbs when running. Its method of attack is repulsion."

"Although they live in groups, they are not very common because they are too weak."

"Also, hundred-year Repulsion Soul Beast leaders are very rare. Are you sure you want a Repulsion Soul Beast as your first soul ring?"

Yu Xiaofeng said, "I'll listen to Godmother."

As Bibi Dong pondered, she could not help thinking of someone. If Xiao Gang were here, perhaps he could give a better suggestion.

After this soul ring hunt, perhaps I should send him to Nuoding Academy. It might be better to have him teach Xiaofeng.

After remaining silent for a moment, Bibi Dong continued, "The Repulsion Bee Snake can spit out a stream of repulsion that wraps around its entire body, forming a repulsion barrier. Its wings can unleash a conical storm."

"It is the only soul beast I know of that controls repulsion. As for what other attack methods it has, I do not know."

"What do you think?"
