"System, give me those ten levels of soul power."

Qin Feng spoke in his mind. Since Qian Daoliu had been present all day yesterday, he had never had the chance to use it. After all, Qian Daoliu was a Peerless Douluo; he could detect even the slightest fluctuation of soul power, let alone ten full levels.

That was why he had delayed until now. With no one around, he could quickly use the soul power.

"Ding. Soul power has been issued."

As soon as the system finished speaking, Qin Feng felt an enormous surge of soul power suddenly appear within his body. Yet it was gentle, quickly merging into him.

"Sure enough, relying on myself is nowhere near as good as relying on the system."

Qin Feng was quite satisfied. Wasn't this faster than cultivating? With a system, what decent person would still cultivate? Wouldn't that just be pure insanity?

"System, open my personal panel."

Host: Qin Feng Age: 15 Martial Soul: Formless Buddha Shadow Soul Power: Level 62 Assault Soul Emperor Soul Rings: Black, black, black, black, black, black

"These Soul Rings are luxurious."

Qin Feng looked at the panel with satisfaction. At his age, there were only a handful of people who possessed Soul Rings like these—one could even say there were none.

Of course, that excluded God-given Soul Rings. But becoming a god was not so easy. Naturally, cheats were an exception, such as the Seven Monsters.

"With me here, don't even think about becoming gods."

After saying that, Qin Feng checked the time, then got up and headed outside.

"You're out." The maid outside the door spoke respectfully.

"Why haven't you left yet?"

Qin Feng looked puzzled. Could she have been eavesdropping on him? But after giving it some thought, he dismissed the idea. Spirit Hall had no reason to listen in on him.

"Oh, I was afraid you wouldn't know the way, so I came to lead you."

"Fine, let's go."

With that, the maid respectfully walked in front, while Qin Feng followed behind, looking around.

"What kind of person do you think your Pope is?"

As they walked, Qin Feng suddenly asked. He mainly wanted to know what Bibi Dong looked like in the eyes of her subordinates. Hadn't he heard the saying? To defeat your enemy, first understand your enemy.

"I'm sorry, we can't talk about that."

A trace of panic appeared on the maid's face. Privately discussing the Pope was a capital offense, and she did not have the courage for that.

"It's fine. I guarantee I won't tell anyone. Heaven knows, earth knows, you know, and I know." Qin Feng raised three fingers and swore to the heavens with a sincere expression.

"Really?"

A hint of hesitation appeared on the maid's face. Qin Feng was an honored guest of Spirit Hall, after all, and she did not dare offend him.

"Really."

"Alright, then I'll tell you."

Seeing Qin Feng's sincere expression, the maid was no longer quite so afraid.

"How should I put it? I think Her Majesty treats us quite well, but sometimes she can be quite frightening."

The maid felt a lingering fear just thinking of it. After all, she served Pope Bibi Dong.

"How so?"

Qin Feng showed a curious expression. What could make a maid so frightened? Was it the distortion of human nature, or the downfall of morality?

"Her Majesty the Pope is someone who will stop at nothing to achieve her goals. She once said that when facing a powerful person, if you cannot make them submit, it is best to let them sleep forever."

"Is that scary?"

Before the maid could continue, Qin Feng interrupted her. He mainly felt that Bibi Dong had not been wrong at all.

If it were him, he would be even more ruthless than Pope Bibi Dong. If someone offended him, then to prevent retaliation, the best method was to wipe out their entire family.

"Isn't that scary?"

A puzzled expression surfaced on the maid's face. Was his vision really so narrow? If he could kill someone completely unrelated to him, then what about everyone else?

"You don't understand! When you stand at the top, you'll understand. This is normal."

Qin Feng explained. When someone became powerful enough to threaten him, he would do everything possible to kill that person. Though there probably would not be anyone who could threaten him.

"We're here."

The maid suddenly stopped, bowed to Qin Feng, then stepped aside.

"Alright."

Qin Feng nodded and did not bring up the matter from before. Then he headed toward the dining hall.

"Creak~"

After the door opened, Bibi Dong, who was sitting at the dining table, immediately looked toward the entrance. When she saw Qin Feng, she nodded.

"Greetings, Master."

"Greetings, Sect Master."

"Meow~"

Qin Yi and the others seated at the table immediately stood and called out respectfully upon seeing Qin Feng. Bald Strong also wore a respectful expression, Dugu Bo greeted him respectfully, and even Fat Wave meowed twice.

And—

"Good lord, he has more prestige than the Pope."

Standing behind the Pope, Chrysanthemum Pass quietly spoke to Ghost Douluo beside him. Even the Pope did not receive such treatment. These people merely nodded when they saw the Pope, yet when they saw Qin Feng? Wasn't that blatant favoritism?

"Should we call out too?"

Seeing that Ghost Douluo said nothing, Chrysanthemum Pass made the suggestion. They could not let the Pope lose face, could they? If the two of them did not call out, wouldn't it make the Pope look bad?

"What kind of terrible idea is that? Which one of those people isn't stronger than you? Let's just stay put and behave ourselves."

Ghost Douluo covered his face and spoke quietly. Wouldn't that just push the Pope further into the fire? If they called out too, wouldn't that make her lose even more face?

"You know, there actually are some. Look! Dugu Bo and Prince Xue Xing aren't as strong as I am, and Qin Feng isn't as strong as I am either." As he spoke, Chrysanthemum Pass even began counting on his fingers.

"Get lost, get lost, get lost. Isn't that obvious?" Ghost Douluo looked at him with utter disdain. Wasn't this like playing music to a cow?

"Hey! Why are you getting so worked up?" Chrysanthemum Pass shut his mouth after saying that.

"You're here."

As she spoke, a smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face, as though nothing had happened earlier.

"Mm."

Qin Feng nodded indifferently, then sat down beside Bibi Dong.

"??? What's going on?"

The two people behind them were left dumbfounded by this. Shouldn't the Pope have flown into a rage and thrown Qin Feng out? Why was she acting cute now?

"Damn! That soft voice... Could it be... Hehehe!"

Hearing their exchange, Dugu Bo revealed a lewd grin. From the looks of things, had they gotten together?

"Don't say you know me, you disgusting pervert!"

Hearing Dugu Bo's creepy laughter beside him, Prince Xue Xing shifted his chair away, wearing an expression that warned strangers to stay away.

"Hey! Watch how you talk!"

"Besides, the two of us know each other best. How could I live without you, Swallow?!"

Dugu Bo squeezed out two tears as he spoke, then quietly moved his chair a little closer to Prince Xue Xing.

Prince Xue Xing was rendered speechless by that move. If there had not been so many people around, he would have started cursing already. He was male and liked women; he did not have that kind of perverse preference.

"Mm, then let's eat."

Only after Qin Feng had sat down did Bibi Dong have the dishes served. One chef after another came forward carrying all kinds of food.
