Bibi Dong checked into the most luxurious hotel suite in Heaven Dou City.
She had met Luofan in person and asked him how a Trash Martial Soul could evolve into a top-tier Martial Soul.
Luofan's answer had been that he didn't know!
But Bibi Dong didn't believe him.
She was the pope of Spirit Hall, after all. She knew how to read people, and Luofan hadn't looked like someone who didn't know.
Besides, Bibi Dong didn't believe he truly had no idea!
But Qian Renxue had spread her arms and shielded Luofan behind her. Bibi Dong couldn't very well use force, so she had left for the time being.
"Your Holiness, you wanted to see me?"
In the suite's living room, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, a man with feminine features, approached Bibi Dong and bowed slightly.
"Yue Guan, go to Xiao Xue's place after dark tonight and bring Luofan to me," Bibi Dong ordered.
Yue Guan: "..."
Hearing the order, Yue Guan did not answer at once. A troubled look crossed his face.
He might serve Bibi Dong now, but he had served Qian Xunji before her!
It wasn't only the people of the Worship Hall who regarded Qian Renxue as the Young Master. Deep down, Yue Guan saw her as Spirit Hall's heir too!
And now he was supposed to go to the Young Master's residence and snatch Luofan away?
If he did that, wouldn't the Young Master make life difficult for him in Spirit Hall once she took power?
Yue Guan hadn't gone inside the Crown Prince's Residence today, but he had heard clearly what happened in the hall from where he stood outside. He knew just how important Luofan was to the Young Master.
"What? You don't want to go?"
Yue Guan had gone silent for so long after receiving her order that Bibi Dong frowned and asked in a displeased tone.
"Your Excellency, Snake Lance and Pufferfish are both with the Young Master. I'm of the Power Attack System, not the Agility Attack System. Abducting someone without alerting either of them won't be easy. If Old Ghost were here, it would be much simpler!"
Yue Guan couldn't admit he was unwilling to go. All he could do was give Bibi Dong a plausible reason for his hesitation.
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes.
If Ghost Douluo Gui Mei were here, would she need Yue Guan to tell her that? Gui Mei simply hadn't come along this time!
Yue Guan was level 95, while Pufferfish and Snake Lance were both level 92. Sneaking in and stealing Luofan without alerting two other Titled Douluo really wouldn't be easy.
"Don't worry. I came prepared!"
Bibi Dong raised a hand and took a cloak from the Storage Soul Tool she carried.
"This cloak is a Soul Tool," she explained. "It can help conceal your aura!"
"Quietly abducting him would be best!"
"But if you are discovered, you can use it to hide your identity and take him by force. I'll be outside to back you up when it matters!"
After Bibi Dong had put it that way, what choice did Yue Guan have?
If he kept refusing, he wouldn't have to wait for the Young Master to make his life difficult. His Holiness the Pope would do it right now!
"Yes, Your Excellency. I'll do my best!" Yue Guan accepted the cloak and withdrew.
Meanwhile, at the Crown Prince's Residence.
Bibi Dong had completely exposed Xue Qinghe's identity today. Luofan had been considerate enough to say in front of her that he didn't mind.
Even so, Qian Renxue decided to tell Luofan the truth herself!
She dropped the disguise she wore every day and returned to her true appearance!
Long golden hair framed a breathtakingly beautiful face. And at sixteen or seventeen, she was in the bloom of youth, when a girl was at her loveliest.
Luofan stared at Qian Renxue, utterly spellbound!
In his previous life, he had seen countless beauties in short videos, all enhanced by beauty filters. He'd thought he was used to beautiful women!
But Qian Renxue's beauty was nothing like theirs!
It wasn't just her face. As the bearer of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, she radiated a divine grace from within.
The original Douluo story had no shortage of beauties. Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing—each was beautiful in her own way!
Yet many people had decided on their own that Qian Renxue was the most beautiful woman in Douluo.
Now Luofan understood why!
"Well? Have I stunned you?" Qian Renxue noticed his dazed stare, and the corners of her mouth lifted.
"No wonder!"
At her words, Luofan's gaze drifted down from her breathtaking face.
It passed her pointed chin, her slender, fair neck, her delicate collarbones...
"No wonder your muscles felt so impressive when you hugged me last time, Brother Xue. You squeezed me so tight I could barely breathe!"
Luofan's gaze came to rest exactly where it shouldn't, and he wore an expression of sudden understanding!
The smile on Qian Renxue's face gave way to a deep blush, and her voice rose sharply. "Luofan, what—what nonsense are you talking about?"
"Brother Xue, did I say something wrong? Why is your face so red? Are you sick?" Luofan blinked his wide eyes, looking utterly innocent.
After all, he wasn't even eight years old yet!
At his age, that was the perfect cover.
Pretending not to understand a thing was perfectly reasonable, wasn't it?
Sure enough, faced with Luofan's words and those clear, innocent eyes, Qian Renxue couldn't bring herself to say anything more!
What could she say?
That a child under eight had filthy thoughts?
She wasn't like certain people who thought a child's mind was dirty just because a youngster brushed against them.
After seeing Qian Renxue's true face, Luofan and she had finally been honest with each other. He returned to his small courtyard, sat cross-legged, and resumed meditating!
His Soul Power had reached level 35. He needed to get to level 40 as soon as possible. Then he would gain another Soul Ring and another divine skill that worked by rules.
More importantly, he would get to draw a new entry!
So far, the four Golden Entries he had drawn—Peerless Prodigy, Soul Ring Growth, Rule Addition, and Immortal Body—had all proved immensely useful.
Even the Golden Entries he had passed up had been immensely useful!
So he was eager to see which of the next three Golden Entries he would choose!
"Hm?"
But as Luofan meditated, his mental senses suddenly picked up the feeling that someone was watching him!
