Did You Hear That, My Young Master?

"Your Grace, I'm full. I'll head back to my room and rest first."

After the meal, Dugu Bo wiped his mouth, then got up and dragged Prince Xue Xing beside him out of the room.

"What are you doing?!"

After leaving the dining hall, Prince Xue Xing pulled his arm free from Dugu Bo's grip and looked at him in confusion.

"Are you stupid? Wouldn't the two of us just be interrupting them?"

Dugu Bo explained. This meal had been truly stifling. The food was genuinely delicious, but something had felt strange the entire time.

"There were so many other people there too. What, only we were interrupting their meal?"

Prince Xue Xing thought about it and felt that something was off. Bald Strong and the others were still there too. Didn't they get in the way as well?

"Oh, don't believe me? Just wait, they'll come out soon. Even Chrysanthemum Pass and the other one will have to come out."

Seeing Prince Xue Xing's disbelief, Dugu Bo simply stopped walking and pulled him aside to wait.

"I really don't believe it. Fine, let's wait."

Prince Xue Xing was stubborn as a mule. He and Dugu Bo began staring each other down, both of them watching the dining hall entrance without blinking.

"You should all return to your rooms too."

Over on Qin Feng's side, after seeing that Bald Strong and the others had finished eating, he told them to head back to their rooms as well.

"Got it."

Bald Strong wiped his mouth, then picked up Fat Wave, who was still eating, and headed outside. Qin Yi and the others followed behind him.

"You two should leave as well."

Seeing that everyone else had left, Bibi Dong shot the two people behind her a reproachful glance. They really had no sense at all. Couldn't they see everyone else had gone?

"Ah! Yes."

Chrysanthemum Pass gave a startled cry, then hurriedly agreed and walked toward the door.

"Hahaha, see?"

Dugu Bo, who had been waiting outside, laughed when he saw Bald Strong come out as well. He smugly glanced at Prince Xue Xing.

"But what about Chrysanthemum... huh? They came out too?"

Before he could finish, he saw Chrysanthemum Pass and the other person walk out as well. Prince Xue Xing lowered his head like an eggplant wilted by frost.

"Hehe, they all came out, didn't they?"

Dugu Bo chuckled slyly. He had said they would come out, but Prince Xue Xing hadn't believed him. Did he believe him now?

"Fine, you win."

Prince Xue Xing spoke helplessly. Who could have expected this?

"Is there something you wanted to say?"

After Chrysanthemum Pass and the others had left, Bibi Dong looked at Qin Feng, her face flushed.

"I just think there's something strange about you."

Qin Feng was preparing to use his ultimate flirting technique. He intended to win her over in one go.

"Hm? What's strange about me?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong touched her stunning face, her brows knitting slightly.

"Strangely beautiful."

Qin Feng no longer cared whether it was awkward. He refused to believe that this move would fail. This was a secret technique passed down by the grandmaster himself.

"Pfft..."

Upon hearing that, a smile instantly appeared on Bibi Dong's face. She had thought there was something on her face.

"I'll take you around Spirit Academy." Bibi Dong looked at Qin Feng expectantly.

"Sure."

Seeing the anticipation on her face, Qin Feng nodded to himself. See that? She's already taking the initiative to ask me on a date.

"This is our Spirit Hall Academy."

Bibi Dong pointed at the building in front of them, then led Qin Feng into the academy.

"I heard you have several talented Soul Masters here. I'd like to meet them."

As soon as they entered the academy, Qin Feng made the suggestion. Since he had come to Spirit Hall, shouldn't he see these so-called genius Soul Masters for himself?

"Of course."

Bibi Dong agreed without hesitation, then waved her hand.

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

A black shadow suddenly appeared before Qin Feng. The person dropped to one knee, his expression respectful.

"Damn!"

Qin Feng was startled. No honor among martial artists—she had even brought guards with her. If this had been an assassination attempt, wouldn't he have been dead already?

Just as the saying went, the city was terrifying. He wanted to go back to the countryside.

"Go bring Hu Liena and the others here." Bibi Dong had returned to her usual cold demeanor.

"Yes."

The man lowered his head, then vanished in an instant.

"Greetings, Your Holiness."

The students scattered around the area all looked respectful upon seeing the Pope.

"Mhm." Bibi Dong nodded without speaking.

"Who do you think that person is? He's actually with the Pope."

Someone nearby whispered.

"No idea. He's not even as old as me. He's probably some young master from a powerful family."

"..."

Hearing that, Qin Feng's face darkened. If he hadn't been with the Pope, he would have displayed his Soul Rings right then and made that person watch carefully.

"Did you hear that, my young master?"

Bibi Dong teasingly echoed the words, her face blooming with amusement.

"Hehe."

Qin Feng gave an awkward laugh to ease the embarrassment. Right now, he truly wanted to slap that person twice. If he didn't know how to speak, he should have kept his mouth shut.

"Wow, the Pope actually smiled!"

The male students around them, like a crowd of readers, stared over in shock. Some of them even had stars in their eyes.

"Wow! The Pope is really beautiful!"

Qin Feng looked toward the person who had said that and saw a pockmarked youth leering as he spoke.

"Wow! The Pope is really pretty! Mwah."

Qin Feng shouted in a deliberately high-pitched voice. The moment he finished, he nearly threw up.

"Shut up."

Hearing Qin Feng's words, Bibi Dong felt goosebumps all over her body. She hurriedly reached out and covered his mouth.

"Slurp... smells so good!"

When Bibi Dong's hand landed over his mouth, Qin Feng stuck out his tongue and licked it. Mm... fragrant and sweet.

"That's disgusting!" Bibi Dong hurriedly pulled her hand back and shook it.

"Damn!"

"I thought getting your mouth covered by the Pope was already a blissful thing. I never expected him to stick out his tongue and lick her hand."

The male students felt their hearts ache and all clutched their chests. Why? Why? What exactly were they lacking? Give them a reason!

"Getting your mouth covered makes you happy? Look at you all, acting like you've never seen the world. A bunch of simps."

Hearing that, Qin Feng swept his gaze over them disdainfully. What else were they if not simps? The more they fawned over a goddess, the farther away she would get. Learn something, boys.

"Move aside, everyone. Make way."

Just then, a commotion rose up. Qin Feng looked up and saw seven people squeezing through the crowd.

"What happened?"

Seeing the people around them wearing expressions like they had missed out on a fortune, Hu Liena looked puzzled. What had happened while they were gone?

"You're here."

"Greetings, Teacher!"

Upon seeing Bibi Dong, Hu Liena quickly wiped away her puzzled expression and spoke respectfully. The other six greeted her respectfully as well.

"Mhm. Rise."

Only after hearing her reply did Hu Liena and the others raise their heads. But the moment she looked up, she saw Qin Feng beside Bibi Dong.

"You are?"

Hu Liena asked again. Could he be a new student? Had Bibi Dong specifically called them over to look after him?
