Bibi Dong's Inner Madness, Breakthrough to Spirit King

Why did Yue Guan feel like Hu Liena was bragging?

Lying was not something a good child did.

But Hu Liena's proud and complacent appearance really did not seem like an act.

"Elder Yue, don't you know about my Charm ability?"

Hu Liena spoke with complete confidence.

"That is true." Yue Guan nodded.

"So there's no need to worry. When we return, I'll explain everything clearly to Teacher myself."

Afraid Yue Guan would notice something was off, Hu Liena immediately changed the subject. "Elder Yue, where are my brother and the others?"

Yue Guan said, "Outside the walls!"

"We should head back as well. We've already achieved our purpose here."

There really was no need to remain any longer.

At the same time, Azure Luan Douluo was also questioning Su Mu.

"Su Yu, when you were there, did Hu Liena Charm you?"

"How could that be? Her little Charm meant basically nothing to me. I merely gave her a profound lesson."

Su Yu waved a hand.

"Then are you returning to Spirit Hall, or where are you planning to go next?" Azure Luan Douluo asked.

"I'll enter seclusion and strive to break through to Spirit King. By then, the Soul Master Tournament won't be far off either."

Su Yu was preparing for long-term seclusion.

"In that case, let's leave it at that for now."

Azure Luan Douluo nodded.

Afterward, the two returned to Crown Prince Manor.

Su Yu began his seclusion, and Azure Luan Douluo told Qian Renxue about the matter.

Qian Renxue was extremely satisfied with her younger brother.

On the third day of Su Yu's seclusion, Hu Liena returned to Spirit Hall.

"Nana, I heard from Yue Guan that you successfully Charmed Su Yu?" Bibi Dong's voice carried suspicion. "Is that true? You'd better not lie to Teacher."

Hu Liena's heart tightened, but she answered calmly, "It's true, Teacher. Believe me, how could it possibly be fake?"

Bibi Dong lightly tapped her fingers against the armrest.

The silent hall began to feel tense.

Hu Liena was uneasy inside, but she could not show it. She had to stick to her story. Who could possibly know what had happened between Su Yu and her?

No matter how formidable Teacher was, she could not possibly set up surveillance from afar to watch her.

After pondering for a moment, Bibi Dong slowly spoke. "Nana, since you say so, your teacher believes you. Your talent for Charm is not low."

Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness. She had nearly exposed herself.

In truth, Bibi Dong had merely been testing Hu Liena to see whether it was real or not. But Hu Liena had performed well all along, so Bibi Dong believed her.

Ever since taking this disciple, she had always treated Hu Liena as a daughter. Naturally, she would not suspect her.

"Then, Teacher, Nana will continue cultivating. I'll strive to break through soon and live up to Teacher's expectations."

Hu Liena spoke righteously, behaving like a fine disciple.

"Go. If you have any problems, come find me anytime," Bibi Dong said.

"Understood." Hu Liena answered, then turned and left.

Only Bibi Dong remained in the vast Pope Palace.

Bibi Dong fell into deep thought. Su Yu was always accompanied by people, and Azure Luan Douluo was at his side as well. Capturing him was almost impossible.

"Su Yu..."

Bibi Dong softly murmured the name.

That face surfaced in her mind.

The face nearly identical to Qian Xunji's churned up from the depths of her memories, making her chest tighten in waves.

That man had destroyed everything she had back then, yet that face, that body, that condescending bearing—

had long been carved into the deepest part of her soul. Hatred and desire were hopelessly entangled. The more she hated, the harder it was to forget; the harder it was to forget, the more she hated.

"After I catch him..."

Bibi Dong muttered to herself. The corners of her lips slowly curved upward, forming a smile both cold and alluring, carrying an almost crazed obsession.

"I can't kill him. If I kill him, he'll be gone. This face must be kept properly."

"Restrict his Soul Power..." Bibi Dong's eyes gradually turned hazy and dangerous. "Then lock him up, slowly..."

She suddenly stopped, as though startled by her own thought, then let out a cold laugh.

"Qian Xunji... what you owe me will be repaid by this face."

The days that followed seemed to fast-forward.

Seven months later, Su Yu successfully stepped into the Spirit King realm.

After a full half year, he had finally entered the Spirit King realm.

This speed was already extremely fast.

After emerging from seclusion, Qian Renxue came forward to greet him.

"Stinky little brother, you're a Spirit King now. I have to say, you're really fast!"

"Far stronger than Sister, so being fast is only natural." Su Yu replied without the slightest courtesy.

Qian Renxue's lips twitched. "Your skin is really thick."

Just as Su Yu was about to respond, Azure Luan Douluo suddenly appeared.

"Xiao Yu, Zhu Zhuyun has arrived. She wants to see you," Azure Luan Douluo said.

"Zhu Zhuyun?" Su Yu nodded. "Looks like there's news from the Heaven Dou Empire."

Rather than continue bickering with Qian Renxue, Su Yu headed with Azure Luan Douluo toward Zhu Zhuyun's location.

"Stinky little brother, why are you leaving so fast?" Qian Renxue wanted to chase after him, but Pufferfish Douluo appeared.

"Young Mistress, someone has come from Xue Ye's side."

Qian Renxue looked displeased. "What a nuisance. That old man still isn't dead? Just watch me increase the dosage."

At the same time, Su Yu and Azure Luan Douluo arrived at a teahouse.

They went up to the second floor.

By a window in the teahouse, Zhu Zhuyun sat alone.

Her black dress was cut close to her body, outlining every curve of her figure in exquisite detail.

Her shoulders were straight, and beneath her collar, a stretch of snow-white skin was drawn taut. The fabric over her chest was propped into full, rounded curves.

As she lifted her tea, they rose and fell slightly, their heavy fullness impossible to ignore.

Yet her waist was astonishingly slender, seemingly small enough to encircle with one hand, forming an exaggerated contrast with her chest and hips.

With only the slightest turn of her body, the fabric clung to her waist and hips, tracing the round, raised line of her buttocks. The curve was full and firm, and below it stretched a pair of long, straight legs whose exceptional shape was evident even while seated.

She rested her cheek on one hand. As she raised her arm, her sleeve slipped down, revealing a section of fair forearm, slender yet not lacking softness.

Her other hand held a teacup. As her wrist turned, the full curves before her chest nearly brushed against the edge of the table.

Hearing footsteps, Zhu Zhuyun raised her head. When she saw Su Yu approaching, she immediately rose excitedly, but Su Yu lifted a hand to stop her.

Zhu Zhuyun had no choice but to sit back down.

After Su Yu took his seat, he felt puzzled.

Zhu Zhuyun's figure seemed far fuller than it had been half a year ago. Was it just his imagination?

Su Yu shook his head, no longer dwelling on that matter. Instead, he looked at Zhu Zhuyun. "Why did you ask to see me now? What is it?"

Zhu Zhuyun could not wait to say:

"Your Highness, over the past half year, I have dealt with all the sisters of my Zhu Family. I also killed every threatening member of the Dai Family.

"Dai Weisi has completely fallen from power as well. Once the Soul Master Tournament ends, I can deal with those who are dissatisfied with me, install my own trusted people, and completely take control of the Zhu Family and the Dai Family."

Su Yu froze for a moment. He had not expected Zhu Zhuyun to be so decisive, resolving things so swiftly and almost without holding anything back.

At this rate, as long as their strength was sufficient, they could make the White Tiger Emperor personally abdicate.
