Chapter 49: 048-Bibi Dong Was Lovestruck and Tried to Keep Xu Feng (Please vote to recommend)
"Hm?"
"So warm. What's going on?"
After using the advancement card, Xu Feng's body was rapidly growing, and he soon noticed something wrong. Something seemed to be holding his body, warm and soft.
"Hiss..."
"So comfortable."
Xu Feng no longer wanted to think. He sank into that warmth and wanted even less to wake up, because this was precisely the deep sleep he had always sought. After all, he got plenty of sleep every day, so opportunities to enter such deep sleep were rare.
An unknown amount of time passed...
Day had broken, and dazzling sunlight streamed into the bedchamber, bathing it in brightness.
"Mm..."
Xu Feng opened his eyes groggily and habitually turned his head to see whether that woman had left. Then he saw that he was alone in bed. Smelling the faint fragrance she had left behind and feeling her lingering warmth, he immediately sighed in relief. "Thank goodness. That demon finally left."
A moment later, Xu Feng stretched out his hands and saw muscular arms. Clearly, he had already returned to an adult's appearance. A brilliant smile spread across his face. "Finally, I'm back."
"Hm?"
Suddenly, Xu Feng noticed a stack of clothes at the edge of the bed. He frowned slightly. "Did Teacher leave these?"
Didn't that mean...
Teacher had still been there after he returned to an adult's appearance?
"So I fucking got seen naked again?"
Xu Feng's mouth twitched as he silently regretted it. Sure enough, I was too impatient last night. I should have waited until Teacher left before advancing.
Although indescribable things had often been done to Xu Feng while he was small, to the point that it was becoming a habit, being seen naked after returning to an adult's appearance still left him extremely embarrassed.
"Sigh, I'd better get dressed first, before Teacher comes back." Xu Feng hurriedly put on the stack of clothes beside him.
Once dressed, Xu Feng took out a mirror. The next moment, he was stunned by the sight.
"Holy shit, who the fuck is this? How is he so handsome?"
The more Xu Feng looked at the bastard in the mirror, the more he admired him. He had to admit that this was the most handsome man he had ever seen since becoming conscious, bar none.
Clearly, this was the work of the Hongmeng Divine Body. As he advanced, it had also been remodeling his body, transforming both his figure and his looks toward perfection.
Most importantly, after this transformation, Xu Feng now looked no different from a young man in his early twenties.
Just then, a system notification sounded.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. Because your Hongmeng Body has advanced to the Hongmeng Divine Body, your Soul Power Level has increased by 50%, exceeding the 100% Soul Power gauge. Your level will automatically increase.]
Boom!
A wave of air exploded outward.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You have successfully advanced to a level 80 Soul Douluo.] [Ding! Friendly reminder: the Soul Ring section of the shop has refreshed its merchandise. Would you like to open it and shop?]
Without hesitation, Xu Feng nodded. "Open it."
Thousands upon thousands of Soul Rings appeared before his eyes, leaving him a little dazzled. In the end, he simply ignored their types and attributes and looked only at their prices and discounted prices.
From what Xu Feng knew of the shop, those prices were tied to the Soul Rings' quality. Something expensive might not have the greatest age, but it would definitely be fucking awesome.
Thus, Xu Feng looked only at prices and discounted prices. Finally, among the countless Soul Rings, he picked one out.
It was the 300,000-Year Death Spider Emperor Soul Ring (can be absorbed or gifted).
Original price: 300,000
Discounted price: 30,000 (buy one, get one free)
Time remaining on this Soul Ring's listing: 9 minutes.
"Buy one, get one free. Perfect, one each for Teacher and me."
Xu Feng did not know whether this Soul Ring suited him, but seeing such a beautiful price, he threw caution to the winds and bought it outright.
[Ding! You have spent 30,000 Lying Flat Points to purchase 300,000-Year Death Spider Emperor Soul Ring ×2. Your remaining balance is 748. Nicely done!]
"Sigh, poor again."
Hearing the notification, Xu Feng's face twitched. That feeling of instantly becoming short, ugly, and poor made him very uncomfortable. Especially when he saw the words "nicely done," he felt the system was mocking him.
After absorbing one Soul Ring, Xu Feng put the other into his system inventory. He planned to give the extra one to Bibi Dong, but he would have to find the right opportunity. He did not want her to discover that he had given it to her.
Growl! Growl! Growl!
Noticing his stomach beginning to protest, Xu Feng recalled last night's dream. He frowned slightly. "What the hell? I've never had such a strange dream. Did Teacher do something to me last night?"
Xu Feng tried to remember, but nothing came to mind, so he simply put it out of his head.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
Just then, Xu Feng saw a graceful figure walk in through the doorway.
She wore an elegant, understated long dress, simply adorned with pearls, jade, and colored glass. Combined with her peerless beauty, it revealed an indescribably noble bearing.
She was actually carrying food, too. Before she reached him, its fragrance had already drifted over. It seemed to have been carefully prepared.
"Teacher."
Xu Feng rose and bowed, but the corner of his eye remained fixed on the breakfast in her hands. His stomach protested even more fiercely, growling nonstop.
"Hungry?"
Bibi Dong spoke rather imperiously. "Then sit down for your teacher."
"Uh... okay."
Xu Feng was somewhat startled. Bibi Dong seemed not at all surprised that he had become an adult, but he still obediently sat up straight.
"It looks like the clothes I prepared fit you quite well."
Bibi Dong looked Xu Feng over for a moment, satisfaction showing on her face. Yet she could not help recalling what had happened that morning. Her face reddened slightly, and her heartbeat immediately quickened.
I originally thought Bao'er would look fourteen after returning to an adult's appearance. I never expected him to become... a real adult outright. Bibi Dong's thoughts were somewhat muddled.
Because Xu Feng's body had gradually grown, she had been woken early. But when she opened her eyes, she saw the body of a man in his twenties. At the time, she had been utterly shocked and flustered.
Bibi Dong had never imagined that one day she would lie in Xu Feng's arms like a little woman, with nothing between them, just like lovers.
Fortunately, Bibi Dong had woken first and immediately gotten dressed. Otherwise, if Xu Feng had seen her like that, she would not have known how to face him afterward.
Because of all this, Bibi Dong had been distracted all morning. She even found herself having strange thoughts, such as: How exactly did it fit into such a tiny slit?
The more Bibi Dong let her thoughts wander, the faster her heart beat. Her face flushed with embarrassment, and her body grew increasingly hot.
"T-Teacher, what's wrong?"
"Why is your face so red?"
"Huh? Nothing, nothing."
At his words, Bibi Dong snapped out of it. Then she set breakfast beside Xu Feng and did her best to calm down, smiling. "Freshly made. Try it."
"You... you made it?"
"Hm? Afraid your teacher poisoned it?"
"Ahem, that's not what I meant."
[What the hell?]
[Isn't Teacher curious about why I became an adult?]
Seeing how many thoughts Xu Feng had, Bibi Dong felt rather helpless. To dispel her disciple's doubts, she smoothly fabricated an explanation. "My good disciple, this appearance should be the second stage of the Fairy Brew's side effects. Don't be afraid. It won't harm you."
"Oh~"
"So that's it."
[Tsk, tsk, tsk, perfect. Now I don't even have to invent an excuse.]
Xu Feng wore an expression of "realization," then began wolfing down breakfast.
Bibi Dong watched quietly beside him. For no apparent reason, a faint blush appeared on her lovely face. "It looks like my disciple really was starving. No wonder last night..."
Xu Feng's interest was piqued. "What about last night?"
"Eat your food. Why so many questions?"
Smack!
"Ow!"
Bibi Dong knocked him on the head with the back of her hand.
"!@#¥%..." Xu Feng immediately shut his mouth and could not be bothered to pursue it. He only needed to remain firm on one thing: nothing good would come from living with Teacher, so he had to leave the Saintess's Bedchamber.
Thus, after finishing his meal, Xu Feng brought it up. He argued that he was already an adult, men and women should not have intimate contact, and living with Teacher was inappropriate.
"No."
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong's attitude was extremely firm.
"Why?"
"The way you look now is far too tempting. Staying in the Saintess's Bedchamber is the safest option."
"Huh?" Xu Feng was taken aback, then thought of his current appearance and understood.
*[Hmph, hmph, I get it. Teacher, you must think I'm too bewitching and want to keep me here to keep playing with *.]*
[Sure enough, you shallow woman. You've coveted my beauty for so long. Can you finally no longer hold back?]
You insolent disciple.
How could you say that about your teacher?
How could I possibly be that kind of person?
Bibi Dong inwardly refuted him again and again, then spoke to explain, though she was clearly short on confidence. "A-Anyway, you have to stay. I'm doing this for your own good."
"Heh..."
[As if you won't commit a crime against me if I stay, Teacher.]
[In reality, aren't you the most dangerous person?]
[Don't worry. I absolutely won't stay.]
Seeing that Xu Feng was determined to leave, Bibi Dong grew anxious. "Then tell me, what would make you stay? Or if you have any requests, I can consider granting them."
Originally, Bibi Dong had thought Xu Feng's childlike appearance was the one she liked best. But after his transformation, she discovered she had been wrong.
It seemed that Xu Feng's adult appearance was the most attractive, and the one that made her heart flutter most. For the first time, she experienced the pleasure of looking at a man.
This feeling was different from the innocent cuteness Xu Feng had displayed as a child. Instead, one look at him made her feel comfortable inside and want to draw close.
Most importantly, Bibi Dong had already lived with Xu Feng for so long. Suddenly living apart always left her feeling empty inside.
"Fine."
"Agree to two conditions, and I'll stay."
To Bibi Dong's surprise, Xu Feng was very straightforward. Her lovely face immediately filled with smiles. "Tell me."
"First."
Xu Feng pointed at the bed beneath him and said in a tone that brooked no negotiation, "This bed is mine. You can't touch it, and especially not me. You can't come close, either, or I'll leave immediately."
This was the best bed Xu Feng had ever slept in. He was already used to it and did not want to change his sleeping environment.
"Then... where will I sleep?"
"How would I know?" Xu Feng's mouth twitched.
[So you still want to sleep with me like before? Can you have a little shame?]
"Sigh, all right." Bibi Dong sighed helplessly, then asked, "What's the second?"
"Take this."
"What is it?"
"Never mind that."
"All right."
Xu Feng handed Bibi Dong the Heart-Clearing Pill the system had rewarded him with, and she actually swallowed it outright.
"I hope it works." After advancing to the Hongmeng Divine Body, Xu Feng's perception had improved greatly. He could clearly sense that Teacher's mind had already been affected by the Rakshasa God. This Heart-Clearing Pill could restore her to her former self.
Perhaps Teacher would become proper again?
Sure enough, after Bibi Dong swallowed the Heart-Clearing Pill, an immortal aura actually swirled around her, then forced out a dark mist accompanied by sizzling sounds.
After taking the Heart-Clearing Pill, Bibi Dong's evil thoughts were completely purged, but this also brought last night's events to mind.
"I..."
"I really went mad."
"What on earth did I do last night?!"
Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly. Then she crouched on the floor and abruptly covered her face with both hands, as though she would die of shame and indignation.
Now, Bibi Dong understood, too.
Last night, under the Rakshasa God's influence, a passing, joking thought she had once had-giving little Xu Feng more milk-had been magnified without limit. This had led to the subsequent events that left her wanting to die of shame. She had never expected that she would actually do it.
Perhaps Bibi Dong's actions were the reason Xu Feng had that dream.
"This is really..."
"So humiliating!"
"How could I have done something so stupid?"
Only now, after the evil thoughts in Bibi Dong's heart had been cleared away, did she understand what shame meant. She simply had nowhere to hide her face and wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground.
"Wah..."
"I can't face anyone."
Bibi Dong hugged her legs and buried her head against her knees, her lovely face scarlet and tears welling helplessly in her eyes.
"Teacher, what's wrong?"
Xu Feng looked bewildered. Thinking she was very angry about his wish to leave the Saintess's Bedchamber, he compromised. "How about I change my conditions for staying?"
"Leave me alone. Go away."
Bibi Dong did not even dare look at Xu Feng. Instead, she tugged at the blanket on the bed and covered herself completely. Only then did she feel a little better, a little less ashamed.
"Mm..."
Xu Feng, on the other hand, found himself caught between advancing and retreating. "Then... should I move out?"
"Just try it. See if your teacher doesn't beat you to death."
Bibi Dong suddenly spoke in a warning tone.
Although Bibi Dong felt deeply ashamed of her attempt to give him more milk, one thing had not changed: she still wanted Xu Feng to stay.
Over the past six months and more, that feeling of mutual dependence had become a habit for her. She did not want to lose it just like that. If seeing Xu Feng meant going to his pavilion every day, she really could not bring herself to swallow her pride.
"Then what do you want, Teacher?"
"I don't know."
"Then what do you think of the terms I proposed?"
"No."
The voice coming from beneath the quilt was very quiet, dwindling to something like an insect's chirping, with a faint, tearful tremor. "A-anyway, you can't leave. If you dare leave, you're dead."
I'm going to puke. Just kill me already!
Xu Feng was already falling apart.
After taking a long while to recover, Xu Feng compromised again. "How about this? All I ask for is this bed. Everything else stays the same as before. Will that do?"
The main reasons Xu Feng wanted to leave the Saintess's Bedchamber were that he could not stand Bibi Dong constantly interrupting his slacking off, as well as all her improper behavior toward him. Now that the Heart-Clearing Pill had cleared her head, his earlier worries no longer existed.
With that, Xu Feng could stay after all. He did not want to leave the Saintess's Bedchamber, which had already become familiar to him, either.
"You bastard disciple..."
"Why should I give you my bed?"
Unfortunately, Bibi Dong did not appreciate the gesture and even felt she was getting the short end of the stick. She added, "Either find yourself a bed or sleep on the floor. If you dare climb into my bed, I'll break your legs."
I...
I fucking...
Xu Feng froze, then fell apart completely.
Now he suddenly regretted it. He should never have given her the Heart-Clearing Pill. He had not expected his situation to become even worse.
