Of course, Link had not actually been entirely deceiving her.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well held both immortal herbs and peerless poisonous herbs.
If Dugu Bo disturbed a Snow-Colored Swan Kiss, even as a Titled Douluo, he would probably meet a bitter end on the spot.
It might even trigger a massive outbreak of poison that could destroy more than half the Medicine Garden.
Dugu Yan jumped in fright when she saw Link's words.
At that moment, she was right there in the Medicine Garden at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After learning from the Chat Group that this place held a way to resolve the poison of the Bilin Snake Martial Soul, she had wheedled and pestered Dugu Bo into bringing her here.
Yanzi Who Restores the Family's Glory: "Group Leader, could you explain in more detail?"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Snow-Colored Swan Kiss!"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "It isn't poisonous itself, but even the slightest contact can amplify a poison's potency hundreds or thousands of times!"
Yanzi Who Restores the Family's Glory: "Thank you, Group Leader!"
After seeing Link's warning, Dugu Yan was overwhelmed by belated fear.
Because right at that moment, she was staring at a snow-white herb before her. Every leaf was crystalline white, as though water might drip from it, and the snow-white leaves were slender, like a swan's neck.
Although Link had not described exactly what Snow-Colored Swan Kiss looked like, Dugu Yan guessed that this was it.
In other words, she had just come within a hair's breadth of dying.
Link did not linger in the Star Luo Empire, instead hurriedly setting off on his return journey.
He could afford not to care about the other immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but he could not miss the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum.
Although the Chat Group's sign-in rewards had already yielded an immortal herb, that was far too unpredictable. Rather than gamble on the Chat Group's rewards, he would be better off securing the immortal herbs in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well first.
Dugu Bo did not recognize immortal herbs.
But among the Titled Douluo, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan had studied them extensively, and his martial soul was the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum. What if Dugu Bo acted on a whim and took the singular velvet sky chrysanthemum to Chrysanthemum Douluo?
So Link dared not delay in the slightest.
He even abandoned his original plan!
When he learned that Zhu Zhuqing was preparing to flee the Star Luo Empire, Link had briefly considered arranging a chance encounter with her and playing the hero rescuing the beauty while he was at it.
After all, the kitten sisters really did have incredible figures!
In this world of supernatural powers, female soul masters were generally good-looking, but when it came to having both beauty and such stunning figures, the inheritors of the Nether Civet Martial Soul truly stood in a class of their own!
But now, Link only wanted to say that women would merely slow his sword draw!
Heading north from Star Luo City to Sunset Forest, the shortest route ran straight through Star Dou Great Forest.
But Link had no wish to court death.
Star Dou Great Forest was the largest gathering place of soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, with countless ten-thousand-year soul beasts. At its heart were the hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python, and there was even the evil, savage Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.
Link still wanted to reach the summit and enjoy life!
He could only take a detour, heading north through Spirit City.
Of course, there was another reason to go through Spirit City: what if he happened to run into Hu Liena and Bibi Dong?
Luck was a mysterious thing.
It was on his way regardless.
If he met them, he would bring them into the Chat Group while he was at it.
If not, he would look for another opportunity.
Four days later, Link entered Spirit City.
As the site of Spirit Hall's sacred grounds, Spirit City had a population that was over ninety percent soul masters, with only a small number of ordinary people incapable of cultivation living within it.
A soul master's spouse was generally also a soul master.
Their children were also highly likely to become soul masters.
Only a few children whose martial souls had undergone detrimental mutations lacked innate soul power, but their families' protection still allowed them to live in Spirit City.
Many children who could not cultivate chose to leave Spirit City once they grew up and settle in the surrounding cities.
As it turned out, those who smiled often never had bad luck.
When Link arrived in Spirit City, he really did encounter Bibi Dong and Hu Liena. The Spirit Hall Internal Soul Master Tournament was being held in the city.
As Pope, Bibi Dong was present at the venue.
Hu Liena, meanwhile, appeared in the arena as a contestant.
"What luck. I'll spare a day, then!"
Link decided to rest and recuperate in Spirit City for a day, wait for nightfall, and then try to slip into their dreams.
Compared with the sisters Zhu Zhuyun and Zhu Zhuqing, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena definitely had high mental attributes. Link had to be extremely careful, lest he dig his own grave.
Night soon shrouded Spirit City.
Link ate delicious snacks on the streets of Spirit City, his gaze drifting toward Martial Soul Sacred Mountain from time to time.
That was Spirit Hall's sacred ground.
The Pope's Palace was the grandest building on all of Martial Soul Sacred Mountain.
Bibi Dong lived there.
As Bibi Dong's student and a candidate for Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden, Hu Liena naturally lived there with her.
Such treatment was something Qian Renxue longed for but could not obtain.
As the night deepened, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets.
Link's figure slowly vanished from the street as he approached Martial Soul Sacred Mountain.
Martial Soul Sacred Mountain naturally had guards.
But no one believed anyone would dare intrude upon Martial Soul Sacred Mountain, because if there was one thing the mountain did not lack, it was Titled Douluo.
Years of peace had left the Hall Guard Knights on Martial Soul Sacred Mountain merely going through the motions on their patrols, their vigilance lacking. This allowed Link to ascend Martial Soul Sacred Mountain and approach the Pope's Palace without much effort.
By this point, Link's spiritual power could already lock onto Bibi Dong and Hu Liena.
To Link's spiritual perception, Bibi Dong's aura was like a blazing sun, impossible to look at directly.
If I can bring Bibi Dong into the Chat Group, I'll truly ascend to heaven in a single step!
Link was very excited.
But he knew this was a tremendous gamble.
Bibi Dong was utterly ruled by love!
After Qian Xunji's Secret Chamber Incident, she had turned dark.
Turning dark made one ten times stronger!
By now, she might also have received the Rakshasa God's inheritance. Under the influence of the Rakshasa God's evil thoughts, Bibi Dong had already become a complete lunatic.
If she detected Link's mental intrusion, he might as well dig a hole and bury himself.
But great risks brought equally great rewards!
Nothing in this world was a sure thing.
Everything carried risks.
The rougher the seas, the pricier the fish!
Having come this far, Link could not resign himself to simply leaving.
Link hid in the dark shadows of the Pope's Palace, his aura all but gone. Unless a Titled Douluo deliberately swept this area with their spiritual perception, they would never notice his presence.
With his Life Domain activated, his aura had already merged with the plants around the Pope's Palace.
Link waited.
He needed the right moment.
His spiritual perception kept monitoring Bibi Dong's aura. At last, it relaxed. Although it still blazed like the sun at its zenith, its oppressive might was gone.
At that moment, Link knew Bibi Dong had fallen asleep, and that she had dropped all her defenses and entered a deep slumber.
Entering the Dream!
