"I refuse!"
Seeing Link's words, Bibi Dong rejected him without the slightest hesitation, cleanly and decisively.
Although she did not understand what a Xiantian treasure was, the moment the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus entered her hands, she felt refreshed in body and mind, her heart more peaceful than ever before.
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Bibi Dong, won't you really reconsider?"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "With this Adaptive Soul Ring of mine, as long as your body can withstand it, raising the soul ring's upper limit to a million years isn't impossible!"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "And with this soul skill you can choose from three options, you can even slay a deity!"
At that moment, even Link felt he was being a little despicable, just like a sleazy "nice uncle" holding a fifty-cent lollipop to swindle a hundred-dollar bill out of a little girl's hands.
But that was a Xiantian treasure from the Primordial World!
For a treasure like this to appear in the Douluo World, the bottom of the fantasy gutter-even with its power diminished, it was absolutely beyond anything this world's divine artifacts could pretend to rival.
However, Bibi Dong was no sheltered little girl.
As the Pope of Spirit Hall, she had made the organization flourish, pressing down on the two great empires and the various sects until they could barely breathe. Her intelligence was certainly not low.
As long as her lovesick brain did not act up, Bibi Dong was wise.
Her lovesick brain!
At that thought, Link spoke again.
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "Do you want to know that man's whereabouts? Do you want to rekindle your old romance with him?"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "I can help you with all of that!"
For the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus, Link was willing to use every means at his disposal.
Bibi Dong: "That good-for-nothing?"
Bibi Dong: "Thinking about it now, I really was foolish back then, ruining my whole life for a good-for-nothing like that!"
Bibi Dong: "No one knows better than I do where that good-for-nothing is."
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "..."
At that moment, Link felt weary at heart and no longer wanted to speak.
If Bibi Dong was not saying this deliberately, it meant that the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus had cured her lovesick brain.
There was a theory about the lovesick brains of the Three Beauties of Shrek: the Asura God had tampered with their self-awareness, which was why they kept making one foolish move after another.
Link felt that this theory was not impossible.
It was not impossible for the Asura God to have laid his plans early to find a successor.
He was, after all, a God King.
How could a God King who had lived for who knew how many years possess only a kindergartner's intelligence?
Bibi Dong: "Group Leader, do you know exactly what this Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus is? Don't even think about deceiving me!"
Bibi Dong: "You're too eager!"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "My martial soul, Blue Silver Grass, needs the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus to evolve its bloodline!"
Bibi Dong: "I don't believe you!"
Weak and Helpless Blue Silver Grass: "...I'm out. Going to sleep!"
It really seemed that the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus was not destined to be his.
So be it!
So be it!
What was destined to be yours would come in time; what was not, you should not force!
Besides, this Douluo World was known as the bottom of the fantasy gutter. The Xiantian treasure here, the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus, probably did not possess the might of a supreme treasure from the Primordial World.
Otherwise, how could the mere Douluo Plane possibly withstand the might of such a treasure?
Link stopped dwelling on the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus and continued on his way.
He had to return to Heaven Dou City as soon as possible.
Then, he would absorb the plane godhood.
Inside the Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong toyed with the Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus in her hands, a light of wisdom flickering in her beautiful eyes.
"A chat group!"
"Nana is in it too!"
"Interesting!"
Just then, Hu Liena hurried to the door of Bibi Dong's bedchamber and knocked.
"Come in!"
Bibi Dong spoke.
Only then did Hu Liena push the door open and enter.
"Teacher, um, what exactly is going on?"
"I don't know either!"
Faced with Hu Liena's question, a trace of bitterness appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
She had thought she already stood at the pinnacle of this world, never expecting that it was more complicated and mysterious than she had imagined.
"Teacher, look! This is my sign-in reward, an Adaptive Soul Ring!"
"It's for you!"
Hu Liena raised her hand, and a ring radiating white light appeared in it.
"Besides this Adaptive Soul Ring, my sign-in rewards also included a Martial Soul Evolution Stone. It says it can evolve my martial soul to a higher level."
"Teacher, you have twin martial souls. I don't know whether this one Martial Soul Evolution Stone is enough for you!"
Hu Liena's devotion truly justified Bibi Dong's favoritism.
A smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face. "I'll accept the Adaptive Soul Ring. As for the Martial Soul Evolution Stone, use it yourself. My martial souls are already top-tier beast martial souls!"
"Teacher, aren't there divine beast martial souls above top-tier beast martial souls?"
Hu Liena still wanted to give the Martial Soul Evolution Stone to Bibi Dong.
"If one Martial Soul Evolution Stone isn't enough, we can trade with the others in the group for more. We'll be able to gather two eventually!"
"As long as your martial souls evolve to god level, even the elders of the Worship Hall won't be able to order you around anymore!"
Hu Liena spoke eagerly.
Bibi Dong fell silent.
After a long while, she slowly said, "Nana, do you know that this Martial Soul Evolution Stone could evolve your own martial soul into a god-level martial soul?"
"Teacher, everything I have came from you!"
"Only when you're doing well can I do well!"
"Nana..."
Bibi Dong was deeply moved.
Still, she refused Hu Liena's request.
The Martial Soul Evolution Stone was too precious!
This mysterious chat group's function of granting rewards through signing in was even more miraculous, creating all sorts of treasures out of nothing. Although she did not understand how it worked, she understood that such wonderful things could never be unlimited.
She already had a Xiantian treasure that even the Group Leader wanted, so she would not take Hu Liena's Martial Soul Evolution Stone.
Perhaps this Twelve-Rank Pure World White Lotus could affect her martial souls too!
In the end, Hu Liena used the Martial Soul Evolution Stone. With Bibi Dong standing guard, her martial soul successfully advanced into the Nine-Tailed Sky Fox, a true divine beast martial soul!
Her martial soul evolved, her soul power increased, and the power of her soul skills grew exponentially along with them.
However, martial soul evolution did not bring benefits alone.
Hu Liena felt that the resonance for the Martial Soul Fusion Skill she shared with her older brother was gone.
In other words, Hu Liena could no longer perform their Martial Soul Fusion Skill with her brother, Xie Yue.
Still, even without their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Hu Liena's own strength surpassed what the two of them had possessed when using it.
"From now on, cultivate diligently!"
"Spirit Hall will ultimately be placed in your hands!"
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena with gratification, yet her thoughts involuntarily turned to her biological daughter, who was carrying out an undercover mission to usurp the nation in Heaven Dou City.
