I'll Take Responsibility
In a room bathed in rosy pink light, a large bathtub stood alone in the middle. Steam spread like a sea of mist, and a figure beautiful to the bone reclined against the edge of the tub, scooping up water with one hand and pouring it over her other arm. Two maids stood beside the tub, carrying bamboo baskets and placing rose petals into the water one by one.
"Strange, why isn't Teacher here?"
In Bibi Dong's room, Wang Feng was a little puzzled. By all rights, Teacher should have been in her room at this hour!
"Hmm, maybe she's getting dressed."
Wang Feng smiled faintly, left the room, and headed toward another.
Before long, Wang Feng pushed the door open and walked straight in. The moment he entered, he froze.
There, in the center of a circle of white gauze curtains, a figure reclined in a bathtub, her fair arm extended as she played with the water. Half her face came into view, and even that alone was a sight of beauty found nowhere else in the world.
His gaze drifted slightly downward, following her slender, damp neck to skin as white as congealed cream. Farther down, a mound... killing intent!
Wang Feng's gaze suddenly stopped. He could clearly sense that if he looked any farther down, his eyes would be blinded. It jolted him back to his senses, and he realized he had lost his composure.
"Teacher, I'm sorry. I didn't know you were bathing. I'll wait for you outside." Wang Feng hurriedly backed out as he spoke. Then he closed the door and waited quietly in the courtyard.
Beads of sweat had already covered his forehead from the tension.
He had lived two lives, yet he had never expected to lose his composure in a situation like that.
A mistake, a pure mistake!
But Wang Feng soon smiled faintly. It really wasn't a big deal. Bibi Dong was a level ninety-nine Titled Douluo, after all. Even if Wang Feng had stood closer, he wouldn't have been able to see much.
Before long, Bibi Dong came out wearing a nightgown. Wang Feng immediately stood at attention with his head lowered, looking like a child who had done something wrong, a sight that made it hard to bear punishing him.
Bibi Dong gave Wang Feng a speechless glance. He had gotten an eyeful, yet he still looked so aggrieved. It made her truly regret bringing this fellow back. She should have left him in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to bring trouble upon its people.
"Teacher, I was anxious to find you just now. I didn't do it on purpose. Please don't misunderstand me."
"Hmph!"
"Teacher, I really didn't do it on purpose. I didn't see anything, really."
"You dared enter a girl's room without permission. Since you've already gone in and looked, leave your eyeballs with Teacher for safekeeping!"
"Ah! Teacher, no! I'm willing to take responsibility. Please spare me, Teacher! I'll take responsibility."
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong's eyes widened, and a chill enveloped Wang Feng.
Wang Feng: ...
Wang Feng froze, then immediately came back to his senses. He raised his head and smiled at Bibi Dong. "Teacher, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue."
"Hmph. If there's a next time, I'll gouge your eyes out." Bibi Dong snorted coldly, then sat down just as sunlight fell across the courtyard.
"Yes, yes, yes. I promise there won't be a next time." Wang Feng grinned and nodded repeatedly, then eagerly went behind his teacher and said with a sincere look, "Teacher, you must be tired. Let me massage your shoulders." With that, he placed both hands on Bibi Dong's shoulders and began kneading them.
Bibi Dong couldn't be bothered to hold it against a child. Thinking of the year Wang Feng had spent away, she felt a little sorry for him and said, "You've suffered this past year."
"Teacher, I haven't suffered. I know you've been thinking about me all along. You definitely haven't forgotten me," Wang Feng said tenderly.
Bibi Dong's face darkened. "Since you haven't suffered, I'll send you somewhere else for some proper training in a few days!"
"Ah!" Wang Feng froze, then hurriedly began pouring out his grievances. "Teacher, I've suffered terribly! You have no idea what kind of life I've led this past year. Those people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan were simply inhuman! They abused me and beat me with whips. Especially that Yu Yuanzhen—he even tried to kill me! If the Great Enshrined hadn't appeared in time, you'd never have seen me again."
"What!" Bibi Dong suddenly frowned. She wouldn't believe what he had said earlier, but as for his claim that Yu Yuanzhen had tried to kill him, whether it was true or not, Bibi Dong believed it.
"Yu Yuanzhen, what a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! I held back my troops out of regard for our old ties, yet you dared harm my disciple. I won't let this matter rest!" Bibi Dong's gaze was cold, even somewhat frightening.
Even standing behind her, Wang Feng felt a chill travel from his feet to his head, leaving him uncomfortable all over.
"Teacher, please don't be angry. Anger is bad for your health. Don't worry! I won't forget this. On the day I become a Titled Douluo, I'll definitely go settle accounts with that old bastard Yu Yuanzhen."
"Mm." Bibi Dong nodded, then closed her eyes.
Wang Feng had no idea what his teacher was thinking. He focused on massaging her shoulders, and before he knew it, he was once again immersed in the faint fragrance coming from Bibi Dong.
"Do you want to be Nana's senior sister?"
Suddenly, Bibi Dong's voice rang out again. Wang Feng jolted in fright and immediately came to his senses, only then realizing he had almost pressed himself against his teacher.
Wang Feng hastily took half a step back in fright. Bibi Dong waved a hand and said, "Stop massaging. Let me see your Soul Rings."
"Yes."
Wang Feng came around to stand in front of Bibi Dong and displayed his Soul Rings.
The light of a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring was always exceptionally brilliant. Immediately afterward, Wang Feng used his second Soul Skill, Vajra Indestructibility.
Soul Power tinged with gold surged from the black Soul Ring and clung to the Black Feather Ink Dragon Spear, turning the originally black spear black and gold and making it look even more imposing.
Wang Feng held the Black Feather Ink Dragon Spear before him and planted it on the ground. A powerful force shook outward, and a faint black-and-gold defensive shield appeared over his body, as though it had been there since birth.
Bibi Dong raised a hand and flicked out a strand of Soul Power. It struck Wang Feng with a metallic clang.
"Not bad. Strong defense, a very good life-saving skill," Bibi Dong remarked.
"Hehe, Teacher, I also obtained another skill, Will Domain."
Wang Feng chuckled, and as soon as he finished speaking, he released the Soul Bone Skill. At once, a special field enveloped the entire courtyard. Bibi Dong could clearly sense that her own defense had increased by at least fifty percent.
"Teacher, be careful. My domain skill strengthens defense, but it can hurt people too!"
As soon as Wang Feng finished speaking, Bibi Dong felt a corrosive energy invade her body.
This energy was extremely overbearing. It could continuously damage her, and without defending against it, she would suffer even greater damage inside her body.
Of course, to her, this little bit of damage really couldn't hurt her. She had refrained from defending only to find out exactly how much damage Wang Feng's domain could inflict.
"All right, put it away!"
As Bibi Dong looked at Wang Feng, surprise appeared in the depths of her eyes. The domain Wang Feng had obtained was beyond her imagination.
If Wang Feng's strength reached the level of a Titled Douluo, he could be called virtually invincible within this domain.
She truly wanted to see Wang Feng become a Titled Douluo right now, so she could see just how strong this fellow was.
