Chapter 29: 028-My good disciple, no peeking (please send recommendation votes)
"Hey..." With his phone confiscated, Xu Feng grew anxious. "Teacher, what do you mean by this?"
"Hmph, you lazy little disciple. All you do is play all day, without even going outside for a walk. It must be that skinny chicken's fault. I can't let you keep falling into depravity, so I'm confiscating this chicken of yours."
Bibi Dong spoke with righteous conviction, then added, "When you start cultivating diligently, I'll give it back."
"Th-that's not very good, is it?"
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong folded her arms across her chest, narrowing her beautiful eyes. "Do you have a problem with your teacher?"
Gulp!
Seeing those two things squeezed together so fiercely, Xu Feng swallowed. Frightened, he hurriedly compromised. "You're right, Teacher. It's time I worked hard."
[With the way Teacher's acting, if I refuse, she'll probably smother me to death tonight.]
[Sigh, all that talk about respecting my wishes and not forcing me-looks like it was just a lie to fool a child...]
[Boohoo, my 29th Generation Frying Pan Plus. Snap, there goes my happiness.]
"Pfft-"
Seeing Bao'er’s aggrieved little expression, Bibi Dong found it rather funny.
But this thing really was too dangerous.
She was afraid too.
If it exploded, she would be gone as well.
But is Bao'er really that afraid of being smothered by me? He's just embarrassed, isn't he? Bibi Dong looked at her figure, then felt somewhat helpless. There was nothing she could do; she had simply grown this full and rounded naturally.
"Oh, right, Teacher. You said you had good news for me. What is it?" Only then did Xu Feng remember Bibi Dong's words.
"Hmph, you little rascal. You were so busy playing that you only just remembered I had good news for you?"
"Um..."
"So, Teacher, what good news do you have?"
"Hmph, of course I have some."
Bibi Dong softened her expression, preparing to recount her glorious feat of defeating Qian Xunji in a single move so her lazy little disciple could see... Your teacher isn't all breasts and no brains. In fact, I'm strong as hell.
[Teacher isn't about to tell me she defeated that old schemer Qian Xunji, is she?]
[With the Rakshasa Demon Scythe in her hands, Teacher has an overwhelming advantage against the Angel Clan. If she couldn't even beat that old schemer, just how useless would she have to be?]
[Hmm... Teacher probably wouldn't mention something so insignificant. Hmm... probably not.]
Bibi Dong had been about to say precisely that, but upon hearing Bao'er’s thoughts, the words lodged in her throat, and even her expression froze.
"Teacher, what's wong?"
Xu Feng looked at Bibi Dong in confusion.
"Well..."
What am I supposed to say now?
Bibi looked at Xu, and Xu looked at Bibi. The two stared at one another.
This is so awkward! Bibi Dong silently closed her eyes.
Hum!
Just then, a powerful wave of spiritual energy suddenly rippled through the Saintess's Bedchamber. Everything in the room froze instantly, including Xu Feng, whose expression was fixed in place.
"Heh heh... wah wah... heehee..."
A strange laugh resembling an infant's cries rang out, and Blood Pupil's petite, sinister figure appeared. As always, her ankles were bare, and she wore a black robe that looked shabby but was actually exceedingly ancient.
Her appearance was always accompanied by a cloud of eerie, icy black mist, and those blood-red demonic eyes in particular enthralled the soul.
"Greetings, Revered Blood Pupil."
Bibi Dong was about to bow, but Blood Pupil sent out a surge of dark divine power to lift her upright.
"Rakshasa Inheritance's inheritor, congratulations on completing the First Trial."
Blood Pupil smiled at Bibi Dong, then changed her tone, speaking with unquestionable authority. "But you must remember that no one in this world is qualified to receive your bow, myself included."
"You must understand that you are already an inheritor of the Rakshasa Inheritance. You no longer represent only yourself; you also represent the Rakshasa God."
"Do you understand?"
Blood Pupil emphasized that final question, as though trying to awaken her to something.
"I understand." This time, Bibi Dong merely answered, and she gained a deeper understanding of exactly what her inheritance meant. Perhaps she should not have been so courteous to Qian Xunji today.
After all, her disciple had once said that the Rakshasa God was an exceptionally proud deity among the Divine Realm's eighteen chief gods, tolerating no one above her. What was more, the Qian Family belonged to the lineage of the Angel God, the Rakshasa God's opponent.
Naturally, the Rakshasa God would not allow the Angel God's lineage to stand above her inheritor either.
"Very well. Since you have completed the First Trial of the Rakshasa God Trial, it is time to receive the Rakshasa God's reward."
Blood Pupil lightly tapped a delicate finger, and a streak of light shot into Bibi Dong's body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
In an instant, Bibi Dong advanced three levels in succession, reaching level eighty-seven Soul Power.
At the same time, her Death Spider Emperor mark emerged, and every Soul Ring she had absorbed appeared one after another. Finally, their colors began to deepen. Whether yellow or purple, they all slowly turned black.
"This is... divinely bestowed Soul Power and divinely bestowed Soul Ring age."
Bibi Dong's face was filled with delighted surprise. This was her first time encountering such a thing.
"So this really is the power of a god?"
"It actually let me rise three levels instantly, and increased the ages of all my Death Spider Emperor's Soul Rings by ten thousand years, bringing them all to the black Soul Ring level."
A smile immediately spread across Bibi Dong's lovely face. Still, she was not surprised and quickly composed herself.
Bibi Dong had already learned about this reward while staying in the Rakshasa Ghost Domain with little Xu Feng. Of course, she had teased the information out through indirect probing, so receiving it now came as no surprise.
"This Bibi Dong..."
Blood Pupil, who had been watching Bibi Dong from the side, was instead slightly surprised. She had not expected Bibi Dong to remain so composed after breaking through three levels in succession and receiving a ten-thousand-year age increase for every Soul Ring.
Her temperament was far steadier than Blood Pupil's had been when she first received the Rakshasa God's reward.
Twin top-tier dark Martial Souls-enough to demonstrate her talent.
Knowing to obtain the Rakshasa Demon Scythe before fighting Qian Xunji, completing the Rakshasa God Trial step by step-that shows her intelligence.
Remaining unruffled upon receiving a divine reward for the first time-that shows her temperament.
As Blood Pupil looked at the inheritor before her, a rare trace of satisfaction appeared in her blood-red eyes. Then she gave her assessment. "Talent, intelligence, temperament-all excellent. As expected of the inheritor chosen by Lady Rakshasa God."
Yet Blood Pupil did not know that Bibi Dong was thinking about little Xu Feng at that very moment.
My good disciple, you really are my little lucky star.
You always point me down the right path whenever I need it.
You treat me so well. I'll make sure to protect you properly from now on. Even if you truly become a useless layabout, I won't despise you, Bao'er.
At that moment, Bibi Dong could hardly wait to go straight over, hug Bao'er, and give him a good dose of "affection." However, Revered Blood Pupil was still there, so she decided it would be more appropriate to act later.
"Now, once again on behalf of the Rakshasa God, I grant you your second divine trial: absorb two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings."
"The time limit is three years. You must absorb two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings within three years. If you fail, you will permanently lose your eligibility for the Rakshasa God's inheritance and suffer the Rakshasa God's curse for the rest of your life, unable ever to break through to God Rank."
Blood Pupil spoke again, and as soon as she finished, her figure gradually grew indistinct until she vanished completely. Everything in the Saintess's Bedchamber returned to normal.
"Three years, two hundred-thousand-year rings."
Bibi Dong murmured softly, and most of the joy from her breakthrough was immediately doused.
Most of her knowledge of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts came from books, including creatures such as the Azure Sky Bull Python and Titan Giant Ape. As for practical experience, she had virtually none. She had never even... fought a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.
Moreover, according to the books, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts were generally connected to one another. Once one was attacked, the others would rush to its aid, preventing humans from hunting them down easily.
Right now, she was only at the Douluo level, and her strength was nowhere near sufficient. She did not even have a single trustworthy Titled Douluo subordinate. Having her hunt Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts was as difficult as ascending to heaven. How could she possibly manage it?
"Whew..."
[That one's finally gone.]
[I wasn't under Blood Pupil's control, but I still had to pretend I was frozen. So tiring.]
[Forget it. It's all for keeping a low profile and lying flat. I won't put Blood Pupil in my little book of grudges.]
"Hmm?"
Bao'er wasn't frozen by Revered Blood Pupil just now?
Bibi Dong was somewhat astonished, but she soon understood.
Her Bao'er.
There were already enough strange things about him.
He had handfuls upon handfuls of support items, and every prediction in his thoughts hit the mark.
His being immune to Blood Pupil's freezing did not seem so difficult to accept either.
"Bao'er~"
"T-Teacher, what're you gonna do?"
Noticing Bibi Dong looking over with tenderness written all over her face, Xu Feng's "delicate body" trembled. He had a bad feeling.
"Bao'er, didn't you want a pretty young maid?"
"Um... I suppose I did mention it."
"I can fulfill that wish tonight."
"Ah, well... this..."
Xu Feng was dumbfounded.
That couldn't be.
Nana was only two. She had not developed yet.
Where would Teacher find him a pretty young lady?
"Don't be impatient, Bao'er..."
"Wait obediently on the bed, and the pretty young lady you want will be here soon."
Seeing little Xu Feng's confusion, Bibi Dong explained with a mischievous smile, then walked toward the bathroom.
Seemingly remembering that the bathroom in these chambers had no lock, Bibi Dong hurriedly turned back to remind him, "I'm going to take a bath first. No peeking, or I won't let you off."
[It's over, it's over. With the way Teacher's acting, she's going to do me tonight.]
[And she's talking about finding me a pretty young lady. She's obviously just fooling her disciple.]
[No, no. Looks like I can't mention young ladies anymore. This really does no end of harm.]
"Pfft..."
Hearing little Xu Feng's words, Bibi Dong could not help laughing again. She chided him softly, "Living in blessings without knowing it, and you even think I'm taking advantage of you. What an unappreciative, foolish disciple."
With that, Bibi Dong took a loose, thin nightdress and stepped into the bathroom.
Bibi Dong did not have nearly as much in mind as Xu Feng imagined. She had mentioned the pretty young lady only because she thought she could set aside her teacherly dignity for a while, pretend to be a pretty young lady, and amuse Bao'er.
After all, Xu Feng only wanted a young lady so he could be lazy. There was nothing wrong with her playing the part; she could simply consider it taking care of her immature Bao'er.
Was there a problem with that?
There was no problem!
Perhaps, once Bao'er was happy, he would reveal where to find Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts and even arrange everything for her, right down to how to hunt them. Wouldn't that be wonderful?
In short, whether I can successfully obtain two Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings within three years depends on you, Bao'er.
At that very moment, Bibi Dong had only this one thought in her heart, an exceedingly pure... ahem, perhaps not quite so pure thought. Maybe she still wanted to take a little advantage of Bao'er.
