After several days of travel, Yue Guan and Ghost Douluo drove the carriage, bringing Bibi Dong and Su Yi to an incomparably vast and luxurious city. Through the carriage window, Su Yi could see the three large words written above its gates: Spirit City.
"Little one, from now on, this will be your home!"
Bibi Dong smiled faintly as she looked at little Su Yi sitting in the carriage and pointed at Spirit City.
"Mm."
Su Yi showed neither excitement nor uncertainty upon hearing her words. His face remained expressionless, as indifferent as ever.
Bibi Dong was no longer surprised by this.
After all, this little fellow's heart was too cold—cold enough to disregard anything, even his own life.
She truly wondered what this little fellow had gone through. Even after experiencing such things herself, she had still chosen to live.
Even if it had only been to protect that person, whatever the reason, she had chosen to live.
But this little fellow... even she did not know what belief kept him alive.
At that thought, Bibi Dong looked at little Su Yi sitting across from her, and a trace of mischief suddenly appeared in her eyes.
"What are you doing?"
Su Yi protested as Bibi Dong suddenly pulled him into her arms and reached out to rub his hair.
"Is the little one angry?"
Bibi Dong looked at Su Yi, whom she had pinned against her chest. The little fellow who remained as calm as still water no matter what he faced now had a faint blush on his little face. His words were full of displeasure, but even more so, unease.
Bibi Dong was secretly startled by her own bold decision.
Honestly, she had simply found it irritating that this adorable little fellow kept wearing a face stiffer than a corpse's. So, she wanted to tease him.
Wasn't he calm as still water? Wasn't he indifferent to everything in the world?
And so, this scene came to pass.
As Bibi Dong held Su Yi, she looked at the little boy in her arms and felt something she could not describe.
Even Nana, whom she loved dearly, had never received this kind of treatment.
She did not know what was wrong with her. It was as though she had gone mad, as though she were possessed.
When it came to this little fellow, she had simply reached out and held him.
If she had not heard the unease in his voice and seen the faint blush on his adorable little face, Bibi Dong herself would have felt embarrassed.
However, seeing Su Yi's adorable appearance, Bibi Dong secretly made a decision. Yet as she looked at little Su Yi in her arms, she also thought of her adorable disciple, Nana.
She wondered what sparks would fly when the two met.
With Su Yi's looks, he would definitely melt Nana's heart.
Even she could not resist him.
While Bibi Dong was thinking all sorts of nonsense, the carriage had already entered Spirit City and arrived at the Pope's Palace.
"Alright, little one, we're here!"
When Bibi Dong heard Yue Guan call from outside the carriage, "Your Holiness, we've arrived," she softly spoke to little Su Yi in her arms before carrying him straight out of the carriage.
"Teacher, you're finally back!"
Just as Bibi Dong carried little Su Yi down from the carriage, an incomparably delighted and sweet young girl's voice rang out.
With a thump, the girl threw herself directly onto Bibi Dong.
Su Yi was the one who suffered. He had already been held against Bibi Dong's chest, and with the girl's impact added in, he was trapped between the two women's weapons of mass destruction—one large and one small. It was simply unbearable.
Most importantly, the girl who had pounced on Bibi Dong had never expected her to be holding a child.
"Nana, get down already. Can't you see the little fellow in my arms is being crushed so hard his eyes are rolling back?"
Bibi Dong looked at little Su Yi, whose eyes were rolling back from being squeezed by Hu Liena and herself, a smile appearing in her eyes.
Only after hearing Bibi Dong's words did Hu Liena, who was hanging from her, notice Su Yi in Bibi Dong's arms.
Her face reddened slightly in embarrassment, and she immediately jumped down from Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, I... I didn't know someone would be..."
Bibi Dong smiled faintly at Hu Liena's embarrassed expression and gently rubbed the top of her head. "Alright, alright. You're already so grown up, yet you still act like a child."
"Nana, his name is Su Yi. He's a new disciple I've taken in. From now on, he'll be your little junior brother."
As Bibi Dong spoke, she set Su Yi down.
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Hu Liena became incredibly curious about her new little junior brother.
One had to know, her teacher was very strict about accepting disciples.
When Hu Liena saw little Su Yi standing on the ground, the charming eyes of hers instantly filled with little hearts.
"Wow~ What an adorable little brother!"
Looking at Su Yi, who was less than a meter tall, Hu Liena threw herself directly at him.
Seeing the girl rushing toward him, Su Yi swiftly retreated several steps, then slipped behind Bibi Dong.
As a result, Hu Liena pounced on empty air.
"Master, what's little junior brother's name? He seems really shy!"
Hu Liena kept glancing at little Su Yi standing behind Bibi Dong and asked curiously.
"This little fellow is called Su Yi. He's a genius!"
"As for what you said about him being shy..."
As Bibi Dong said this, she looked at little Su Yi standing behind her, his eyes coldly fixed on Hu Liena. She could not help but think, Nana, you call this shy? This little fellow is obviously disgusted, alright?
Hu Liena followed Bibi Dong's gaze toward Su Yi. Seeing the icy coldness in his eyes, her charming fox-like eyes gradually narrowed.
She was already a Soul Grandmaster and was about to break through to Soul Elder.
Because of her martial soul, she had been born with natural charm.
So long as a man was not far stronger than her, he could not withstand her seductive aura and would become infatuated with her.
Yet this little junior brother her teacher had just taken in showed not the slightest hint of fondness or favor in his eyes when he looked at her. His gaze was filled only with coldness and indifference.
This already showed that this little fellow was completely immune to the charm she radiated.
Hu Liena looked at little Su Yi standing behind her teacher with the gaze of a little fox that had spotted its prey, utterly sly.
"Little brother, call me big sister. Let me hear it!"
Hu Liena completely ignored Su Yi's cold stare. She moved right in front of him, squatted down, and tried to reach out to pat his little head.
"Trying to dodge again?"
Seeing Su Yi trying to avoid her once more, how could she, a level 27 Soul Grandmaster, possibly let this little fellow slip away right in front of her?
She reached out and grabbed Su Yi, pulling him back. Then she vigorously ruffled his little head, completely ignoring the increasingly cold look in his eyes.
