"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"That female Pope, her malevolent Divine Power just dissipated, though only for a moment, it did indeed dissipate," the Ice Dragon King said solemnly.
"I suspect there might be a problem with her divine lineage."
"But whatever the reason, she is in great danger right now!"
The succession of deities is extremely dangerous; if anything goes wrong, the person who inherits the deity will perish without a trace!
The female Pope was extremely cautious. She only accepted the inheritance in her most perfect state after reaching Level 99. Even so, the God of Evil Thoughts she inherited was still a bit too demanding.
God's Trial generally enhance the strength of the inheritor, but the female Pope's God's Trial imposed extremely strong restrictions on her.
She didn't quite understand this method of inheritance, but it was clear that this evil god's test was extremely dangerous!
That eerie and Evil Divine Power just went slightly out of control for a moment!
If they were at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, she and the Fire Dragon King would be confident in their ability to fight against this unstable force.
But here, she wasn't confident!
"Then let's run."
Xuan Ming didn't delay. He dressed quickly, took out paper and pen, wrote down his departure, and placed it on his bedside table.
After doing all that, he simply climbed out the window and ran away.
A wise man avoids dangerous situations. Although he's not exactly a wise man, since Bibi Dong is in trouble, it's best to hide for now, lest...
"..."
The moonlight, like water, spilled into the courtyard, enveloping everything in a cool, veiled atmosphere.
Xuan Ming had just climbed out the window, ready to escape, when he discovered that Bibi Dong, dressed in a purple gauze nightgown, was standing barefoot in the courtyard, staring intently at him.
At this moment, her eyes revealed an indescribable madness and eeriness, and she exuded an eerie aura that sent a chill down Xuan Ming's spine.
Damn, even seeing a ghost in the middle of the night couldn't be more bizarre!
Chapter 133 If it doesn't taste good, don't eat it.
"It's so late, where do you want to go?"
Bibi Dong instantly appeared in front of Xuan Ming, slowly raising her hand, her slender fingers shimmering with an eerie luster under the moonlight.
As she moved, the surrounding air seemed to freeze, Xuan Ming felt as if his body was Entanglement by countless invisible threads, unable to move.
A purple light surged from Bibi Dong's back, and four pairs of wings as thin as cicada wings spread out. The wings were as transparent as gauze, yet they emitted a Youyou purple fluorescence. The purple light flowed slowly at the edges like a stream, breathtakingly beautiful yet with Sisi eeriness.
Before Xuan Ming could say anything, the four pairs of wings suddenly trembled, then contracted and disappeared, transforming into eight spider legs emitting a cold purple light.
Bibi Dong raised her right hand and gently stroked Xuan Ming's cheek. At the same time, the eight spider legs slowly draped over his body, the barbs growing slowly like shackles, firmly controlling him. The two dragons on his back were not spared either.
"You... you're going to run away?" Bibi Dong's voice was cold and hoarse, as if it came from the deepest hell, carrying a chilling aura that sent shivers down one's spine.
"Get ready, give me your body!" The Ice Dragon King activated his dragon soul power, ready to flee with Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming made no move, nor did he transfer control of his body to the Ice Dragon King.
He did not sense any subjective killing intent from Bibi Dong; the malice he felt came from this strange Rakshasa Divine Power.
"Give me your body now!" the Ice Dragon King cried anxiously.
"Don't be nervous, I can handle it." Xuan Ming looked into Bibi Dong's eyes, which were cloudy, resentful, and even somewhat worried.
Afraid he'll run away?
After thinking for a moment, Xuan Ming decided to tell a little lie, "I was hungry and couldn't sleep, so I came out to find something to eat."
"I'm hungry..." Bibi Dong was slightly taken aback, and even the barbs that were retracting stopped.
"What's wrong?" Xuan Ming asked.
"No, it's nothing." A hint of clarity flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes as she retracted her Eight-Winged Purple Light Wings behind her, her voice softening slightly.
What would you like to eat?
"Anything is fine, I'm not picky," Xuan Ming said.
"Wait a moment, I'll go make it for you." Bibi Dong withdrew her hand, her wings of light unfurled again, a flash of purple light appeared, and she quickly disappeared into the courtyard.
Once the eerie aura dissipated from the air, Xuan Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you out of your mind!" the Ice Dragon King said angrily.
"Sister, you were too impulsive," Xuan Ming said.
"She didn't intend to kill me just now. Making a rash move would only provoke her. Besides, given her state just now, if that ferocious Divine Power were to fall on me, do you have a way to remove it?"
"I..." The Ice Dragon King was speechless for a moment.
She has fallen from the God Realm, and dealing with Demigod is her limit. The evil thoughts of evil gods are often extremely terrifying, and once corrupted, they can only be removed through a vast amount of divine power.
If that malevolent Divine Power had truly invaded Xuan Ming's body...
"So, are we still going to run away now?" the Ice Dragon King asked.
"Running away is a sign of a guilty conscience. Her current condition is obviously unstable. If I run away and anger her, it's fine if I can escape, but what do you think will happen if I get caught?" Xuan Ming was somewhat exhausted.
He had originally planned to provoke Bibi Dong, but now, provoke her?
That was so exciting!
Before long, Bibi Dong returned carrying an exquisite tray, on which were placed several delicate pastries and a bowl of steaming soup noodles.
She placed the tray on the stone table in the courtyard, looked at Xuan Ming, and said softly, "Eat."
"Thank you." Xuan Ming didn't say anything more and started eating.
He wasn't exactly lying, since he really was hungry.
Blood Spear was in a restless state, his appetite was much greater than usual, and he got hungry much faster.
Bibi Dong sat down to the side, resting her chin on her hand, quietly watching Xuan Ming. The resentment in her eyes gradually faded, replaced by a gentle look. "Is it delicious?"
Xuan Ming paused, swallowed the food in his mouth, and said, "Too much salt."
Bibi Dong's expression froze for a moment. "Really?"
"The noodles are a bit overcooked; they're not chewy enough," Xuan Ming said truthfully.
"Besides..."
Bibi Dong's face fell. "If it doesn't taste good, then don't eat it!"
"No, I'm hungry." Xuan Ming continued to eat heartily.
In no time, he had swallowed everything on the table.
"Is that enough?" Bibi Dong asked.
"Not enough," Xuan Ming said.
"That's all, go back to sleep."
"Oh."
The next morning, Xuan Ming woke up early.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I saw the pavilion filled with steaming hot breakfasts.
"You're awake." Hu Liena walked in carrying a plate of lotus seed soup and placed it on the table.
"Come and eat, it's freshly made."
"Where is the Pope?" Xuan Ming asked.
"The teacher left very early," Hu Liena said.
"She's never been this early before. It seems like something's wrong, and she looks... a little strange."
"You gave her the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus?" Xuan Ming asked.
"Hmm." Hu Liena nodded.
"I showed it to the teacher last night, and she said she'd take a look at it first."
No wonder!
Xuan Ming felt somewhat weary.
The resentment of that Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox is the resentment of lust!
He just happened to be in the line of fire!
"What's wrong?" Hu Liena asked.
"It's nothing." Xuan Ming walked over and sat down.
Didn't I say I'd give it to her after I left?
"Last night, I..." Hu Liena said somewhat guiltily.
Her sneak attack failed last night. She figured that with her current strength, she wouldn't be able to force her way in.
Since the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus was formed from the remnant soul of an ancient Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox, if she absorbs it, she might have a chance.
"You almost got me killed." Xuan Ming sighed.
"Find a chance to get that flower back, and give it to her after I leave."
The Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus, can stir up resentment and lust within people's hearts; the stronger one's own lust, the harder it is to resist.
He dared not provoke Bibi Dong while she was already harboring resentment towards the Nine-Tailed Fox Heart Lotus; that would be tantamount to courting death!
"A trap?" Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then sat down.
"What's wrong?"
"She had a fit of madness in the middle of the night last night, and I almost poked her to death," Xuan Ming said.
"Stab him to death?" Hu Liena's expression tightened, and she quickly reached out to touch Xuan Ming's body.
"Where did you poke me? Are you alright?"
"Stop." Xuan Ming was somewhat speechless.
"You missed. If you had, you wouldn't be able to see me now."
Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief. "Why would the teacher poke you? You didn't do anything to her."
"I'd like to know why too," Xuan Ming said.
He hadn't offended Bibi Dong, and he couldn't understand why Bibi Dong had come to him last night.
The Pope palace is very large, and this is just one of its side halls. Bibi Dong lives further inside, and besides him, Hu Liena occasionally stays here as well.
Bibi Dong definitely didn't just happen to run into him last night!
They deliberately came to our door!
Chapter 134 A Familiar Feeling
For the next few days, Xuan Ming stayed in the Pope's Palace, training with Hu Liena in the training ground during the day and returning to rest at night, which was not much different from before.
However, Bibi Dong's condition became stranger day by day.
As night fell, Xuan Ming, who had been cultivating all day, returned to the Pope's palace.
Bibi Dong also happened to return, but her mood was clearly off, and the way she looked at him was somewhat strange.
After dinner, Bibi Dong returned to her room early, leaving Xuan Ming and Hu Liena sitting in the courtyard.
"You haven't taken that flower yet?" Xuan Ming asked.
"I looked, but she's not in the teacher's room," Hu Liena said.
