Bibi Dong had a simple reason for letting Lin Chen distribute them: she wanted to raise his prestige among the disciples of Spirit Hall and win their hearts for him.
How could Lin Chen not understand what his wife meant? He stepped forward and took the Soul Bones. "Nana, your Martial Soul is the Heavenly Fox. This Head Soul Bone strengthens mental power and perception, so it suits you perfectly."
Hu Liena's alluring face lit up with delight. "Hehe... thank you, Brother Chen~"
Lin Chen continued the distribution. "Xie Yue also contributed a great deal in this tournament. This Left Arm Soul Bone can increase the speed and strength of Soul Skills, making it a perfect fit for a Tool Soul Master like you."
Xie Yue's face lit up, and he said respectfully, "Thank you, Emperor!"
"As for this last Leg Soul Bone, let's give it to Xu Kai of the agility attack system~"
At his words, everyone present froze for a moment. They had assumed Lin Chen wanted the last Leg Soul Bone for himself. Who would have thought he would give them all away?
But though he dared to give it away, someone did not dare accept it!
The young man named Xu Kai hurriedly declined. "Your Majesty, you deserve the greatest credit for this tournament. This disciple would be ashamed to accept it. Please take the last Soul Bone for yourself."
"Please accept the Soul Bone, Your Majesty!"
"Please accept the Soul Bone, Your Majesty!"
The other Spirit Hall disciples also spoke up, hoping to leave a good impression on him and His Holiness the Pope.
Lin Chen said helplessly, "It's not that I don't want it. This Soul Bone is too inferior; I have no use for it~"
At his words, the Spirit Hall disciples, along with the two Douluo, Chrysanthemum and Ghost, froze on the spot, their mouths twitching violently.
Listen to him. Was that something a human being would say?
Bibi Dong and the Elder Hall had drawn these three Soul Bones from Spirit Hall's reserves, and every one of them was over fifty thousand years old.
Even Chrysanthemum Guan and Ghost Douluo, despite being elders, did not possess a single Soul Bone. If this one were given to them, they would weep with happiness.
Yet he thought its age was too low...
It was not that Lin Chen did not want a Soul Bone. He wanted to wait until he had enough Villain Value to exchange for a hundred-thousand-year Soul Bone. If he absorbed this Leg Soul Bone now, he would not be able to absorb another Leg Soul Bone with different attributes later.
It took up the slot!
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flickered as she immediately thought of the mysterious force behind Lin Chen. Then she said softly, "Since the Emperor doesn't want it, I'll take this Soul Bone back for now."
"All right, if there's nothing else, you may withdraw."
"Yes!"
After the two elders and the Spirit Hall disciples left, only Lin Chen and Bibi Dong remained in the great hall.
Thump!
"Hehe..." Without another word, Lin Chen scooped her up and sat down on the Pope's throne. "Wife, when will your 'special situation' be over?"
"All you ever think about is fooling around~" Bibi Dong's pretty face flushed slightly. She tapped his forehead with a delicate hand, then nestled in his arms and explained, "I'm at a critical point in the Rakshasa Seventh Trial right now. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep you company for a while~"
"All right~" Lin Chen looked a little disappointed.
"Heh..." Bibi Dong slowly sat up and said softly, "What do you plan to do with that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast called Xiao Wu?"
Lin Chen fell silent for a while. "I'll take her Soul Ring and Soul Bone. As for whether I spare her life, that depends on whether she knows what's good for her."
Bibi Dong said softly, "Keep her alive. Let her be your beast pet. In the future, when I'm in seclusion, she and Nana can keep you company."
Lin Chen's eyes lit up. "Wife, you're not going to keep me in check anymore?"
"Hmph~" Bibi Dong snorted softly. "Would keeping you in check stop you from chasing flowers and stirring up grass?"
"I see it clearly now. None of you men are any good. But... your behavior lately has barely passed muster, so I'll allow you to take concubines!"
"Hehe..."
Before Lin Chen could finish rejoicing, Bibi Dong wrapped herself around him like a venomous snake. Her four sharp little canines made intimate contact with his neck, and her sweet, hot breath tickled him.
"Don't get happy too soon. You can fool around with them, but if you develop real feelings and love them to the point of living and dying for each other, then I'll..."
With that, she gave him a gentle bite.
"Dong'er, no matter what happens, you'll always be the most important person in my heart!" Lin Chen whispered words sweet enough to make one choke.
Bibi Dong had never heard such words before. Her pretty face flushed with embarrassment. "Little bastard, all you know how to do is talk sweet~"
Seeing the aloof Pope become so mature and alluring, Lin Chen could no longer hold back. He bent down and began to devour her...
Half an hour later
Bibi Dong struggled free of his embrace and hurriedly straightened her rumpled dress with her delicate hands. Her purple eyes shot him a look. "What are you looking at? This is all your fault~"
Lin Chen sat to one side, staring at her rosy face and tall, voluptuous figure, grinning foolishly like an idiot.
A few breaths later, Bibi Dong took out the Leg Soul Bone again. "Keep this Soul Bone. Now that it's been taken out, there's no reason to put it back. If you can't use it, you can give it to someone else."
Lin Chen's heart stirred, and he accepted the Soul Bone. "Mm~"
Smack~
Bibi Dong kissed his cheek again and used her delicate hands to straighten his appearance. "I have to cultivate tonight, so I won't be going back to keep you company~"
"Go on, don't worry. Your husband isn't a half-grown child~"
"Hehe..."
The time it took to drink a cup of tea later
Tap... tap... tap...
Clad in a purple dress, a crown on her head and a scepter in her hand, Bibi Dong strode out of the great hall with a sexy catwalk. The blush had completely faded from her face, replaced by the noble, icy bearing of the Pope.
The tenderness she now showed was reserved for Lin Chen alone...
The Pope's bedchamber
Hu Liena sat on a sofa in the inner chamber, dressed in a white-and-gold leather jacket and pants. Her short orange hair was parted to one side, and a hint of anticipation showed on her alluring face.
Beside her lay a girl in a short pink-and-white skirt and long white stockings. She had a curvaceous figure and a delicate, gentle bearing, and her exquisite face was covered in tears.
The girl was none other than Xiao Wu...
Before long, Lin Chen pushed open the door and entered. Hu Liena hurried to her feet to greet him, her alluring face full of delight. "Brother Chen, you're back~"
"Nana, why are you here? I thought it would be Ling Yuan."
Hu Liena bit her lip. "Elder Ling Yuan had something to do today, so I told her to go back first~"
Lin Chen chuckled without exposing her and slipped an arm around her slender waist.
He had originally planned to eat up that cold, glamorous mature beauty today, but since this little fox had delivered herself to his door, he could only eat her first.
Ling Yuan was extremely loyal to him now. How could she have left on her own without his orders? There was only one possibility: this little girl had used his or Dong'er's name to make Ling Yuan stay away tonight.
Seeing that he was not angry, Hu Lie happily leaned against his shoulder. "Brother Chen, what are you going to do with this little Soul Beast?"
Lin Chen sat down opposite Xiao Wu with his arm around Hu Liena's slender waist and said calmly, "Release her restriction first~"
Hu Liena reminded him, "Brother Chen, she's very fast. Be careful she doesn't run away~"
Smack!
Lin Chen gave her pert backside a pat. "I know. Go on~"
Hu Liena reluctantly rose and released the restriction on Xiao Wu.
Xiao Wu knew the situation she was in, so she did not make a fuss. Her exquisite face was slightly pale. "You... what are you going to do with me?"
Lin Chen said calmly, "I'll give you two choices. First, submit, sacrifice your Soul Ring and Soul Bone, and become my beast pet. Second, die..."
