Several more days passed.
[Ding! Congratulations, host. You used the talent "Knowledge of Past and Present," consuming 1% of your Soul Power. You triggered the Hongmeng Body's 1,000-fold cultivation speed, equivalent to ten sessions of cultivation that exhausted your Soul Power and left you utterly spent. Your Soul Power Level progress increased by 10%.] [Ding! Congratulations, host. Your Soul Power gauge exceeded 100%. Your level automatically advanced.]
Boom!
A wave of air exploded outward.
Xu Feng's expression remained calm. "Oh-ho, level 74."
Within a month, Xu Feng, a Soul Saint, had already gained two levels in succession. No one else could have done that easily, yet he had managed it effortlessly-and "unintentionally," at that.
There was nothing he could do. Xu Feng couldn't sleep all the time. He had to walk and eat, didn't he? He had to use "Knowledge of Past and Present" to pass the time, didn't he? If even that could trigger breakthroughs at 1,000 times the cultivation speed, all he could do was resign himself to it.
"System, can't you make my life a little more challenging?"
[Ding! A friendly reminder: no!]
"Sigh..."
Xu Feng continued lounging in the rocking chair, blissfully slacking off.
"My dear disciple, your teacher has come out of seclusion."
Just then, Bibi Dong walked in through the doorway.
"T-Teacher, you're here."
Xu Feng rose and bowed, but his body couldn't help taking a step backward.
"My dear disciple, have you missed your teacher these past few days?" Bibi Dong rubbed her hands together, her gaze brimming with anticipation as she looked at Xu Feng-or, more precisely, at his increasingly adorably innocent face. It had been a long time since she had last subjected him to her ministrations.
"After nearly a month apart, I've certainly missed you, Teacher." Xu Feng said those words against his conscience, while inwardly launching into a furious tirade.
Miss you, my ass! You rotten old hag, you're bad to the bone.
Every time you come in, you never do anything decent.
I wish you'd stay in seclusion forever. Better yet, never come out.
Hearing Xu Feng's thoughts, Bibi Dong silently cursed, You little bastard! How dare you call your teacher a rotten old hag?
"My dear disciple, it's been so long since your teacher loosened up your muscles and bones. How about I give you your fill all at once today?"
"Th-that... doesn't sound very... good?"
Barely had Xu Feng finished speaking before Bibi Dong extended her demonic claws. No matter how bitterly he protested, she remained unmoved and did as she pleased.
A long while later...
Xu Feng simply stopped moving.
Since he couldn't resist, he might as well enjoy it.
He just felt a little speechless. Why did his body look more and more like a "child" as he grew, becoming increasingly adorably innocent, without a trace of manliness? And his sleep kept getting interrupted, too. So unfair.
"All right, all right. Your teacher was only teasing you."
Seeing Xu Feng's expression, which practically said, "Baby is suffering inside, but baby won't say it," Bibi Dong softened a little and finally withdrew her demonic claws. After a moment's thought, she gathered him into her arms instead and comforted him. "What can I do? Your teacher just likes you so much."
"Mmph... mmph... mmph..."
"Teacher, y-you need to let me go..."
Xu Feng felt suffocated. Unable to stand it any longer, he shoved hard with both hands. Although they were very soft and comfortable, he had no mind to appreciate them. Instead, he thrashed around like hell, not caring that he was tugging her clothes into disarray, while his inward complaints continued unabated.
Damn it, she's smothering me with those two things again. Doesn't she know those things make me dizzy?
Even if I am handsome and adorable, you still need to control yourself! How can you do that to me? I'm still a child!
"You little bastard."
"Hmph, you're steeped in blessings and don't even know it. Other people couldn't get this treatment even if they wanted it, yet you're turning your nose up at it."
Bibi Dong inwardly chided him, then noticed something amiss. Her gaze shifted to the front of her clothes, and she discovered that her undergarment had been tugged out of place, exposing a broad expanse of snow-white skin. Her face flushed with embarrassment.
"You little bastard." Bibi Dong abruptly turned around and hurriedly straightened her clothes, scolding him in embarrassed anger. "Look what you've done."
Showing herself like that in front of her disciple was far too embarrassing.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to."
Xu Feng's face was utterly sincere, but inwardly he grumbled.
You brought it on yourself. Who told you to bully me first? Hmph, if you dare pinch me all over again next time, I'll... I'll tug at your clothes. Let's see if you still dare keep interrupting my sleep.
Unless you tie me up before trying to take advantage of me, don't think you'll get off lightly either. I'll pull every last bit of your clothes off. Let's see whether you still have the nerve to stay in my room then. That way, I can go back to slacking off and sleeping.
Heh, I'm so damn clever.
You little bastard! You're actually planning to pull off your teacher's clothes to drive me away. You're too wicked.
Bibi Dong had only just finished straightening her clothes when she heard Xu Feng's thoughts. An almost imperceptible smile immediately curved her lips as she thought, But don't worry, my disciple. Next time, your teacher will be sure to bring some rope.
"All right. Your teacher came this time because there's something I need to tell you." Bibi Dong grew serious.
"Please go ahead, Teacher."
"Do you still remember Uncle Yu Xiaogang?"
"I do."
Bibi Dong walked to the bedside and looked out at the blue sky, speaking with some emotion. "I was once in love with him. I thought he was the person I'd been waiting for. But not long ago, I discovered that he wasn't as outstanding as I'd imagined. There were even serious problems with his character, so I chose to end things with him."
"But he doesn't seem willing to accept it. These past few days, he's been lingering around Spirit Hall, waiting for me for a long time. Do you think I should go see him?"
Xu Feng was somewhat astonished to hear this.
I always thought Teacher was a stupid woman with big boobs and no brains. Who knew she'd be so smart this time? She even saw through that hypocritical scoundrel Yu Xiaogang's true colors and decisively ended the relationship. She's seen the light.
Despite those thoughts, Xu Feng put on a look of serious consideration before replying respectfully, "This is your private affair, Teacher. It's not my place to comment."
You little bastard. So you've always thought of your teacher as a stupid woman with big boobs and no brains. Bibi Dong cast Xu Feng an odd glance, feeling somewhat aggrieved.
She was hailed as the most beautiful woman in Spirit Hall, and her talent was unrivaled. Yet in the words of the disciple she had adopted and raised for over a decade, she had become a stupid woman with big boobs and no brains.
You little bastard, you've really broken your teacher's heart, Bibi Dong said inwardly. She didn't let it show too plainly, however, merely noting his words down in her little mental ledger before waiting for his thoughts.
Sure enough, the little bastard's complaints soon rang out.
If you ask me, Teacher, you ought to humiliate that Yu fellow so badly that he never dares come looking for you again.
Just watch. If you go see that Yu fellow, he'll definitely brag to you about the results of his research over this past month or so and boast about the Martial Soul Fusion Skill he created. He'll say every pretty thing he can to prove how amazing he is, all to salvage his standing in your heart.
Sigh, it's a shame Teacher still doesn't know. If she hadn't given that fellow so many ancient texts from Spirit Hall, he never could have developed the Ten Core Competitive Theories, much less created a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.
It's a shame no one knows. The vast majority of all the theories that hypocritical scoundrel published before were compiled from Spirit Hall's ancient texts. They weren't the product of his own independent research at all.
And he even fucking proclaimed he'd researched them himself. His skin is so goddamn thick.
"What?!"
"Yu Xiaogang plagiarized all his theories?"
Bibi Dong was inwardly shaken, finding it somewhat hard to believe. Only after a long while did she manage to accept this truth a little. After all, for so many years, she had believed that Yu Xiaogang had developed his theories himself.
