Dai Chengfeng suppressed the still-surging blood in his body from the recent breakthrough, as well as the slight heat that instinctively rose upon seeing the stunning beauty before him. He stepped forward and gave a slight bow:
"Teacher."
Bibi Dong's gaze swept over him, her red lips parting slightly, her voice betraying no emotion: "You caused quite a commotion—almost all the elders of Spirit City were alerted."
"Just good fortune."
"Good fortune?" Bibi Dong shot Dai Chengfeng a glance. "Don't be flippant. Follow me."
With that, she turned and walked towards the inner chambers of the Pope's Hall, her steps graceful and composed.
Dai Chengfeng followed closely behind.
The two, one in front of the other, passed through layers of heavily guarded corridors, arriving at Bibi Dong's exclusive luxurious bedroom and study.
This place was protected by powerful soundproofing and soul power shielding barriers, making it an ideal location for conversation.
Upon entering the room, Bibi Dong dismissed all the attendants and walked to the large floor-to-ceiling window, her back facing Dai Chengfeng as she gazed out at the grandeur of Spirit City.
After a moment of silence, she slowly turned around, her purple eyes locking onto Dai Chengfeng as she directly asked: "What happened just now? That energy fluctuation, and that tiger roar...?"
"Your aura... has changed significantly."
Dai Chengfeng could sense the faint trace of concern hidden in Bibi Dong's words.
He smiled faintly, not intending to fully conceal the truth but also not revealing everything.
Dai Chengfeng walked up to Bibi Dong, close enough to almost catch the faint fragrance emanating from her.
"Teacher need not worry; nothing major happened. By sheer luck, I consumed a rare herb I obtained, which allowed my martial soul to evolve somewhat."
Dai Chengfeng spoke lightly, downplaying the event.
"Martial soul evolution?"
A genuine look of surprise flashed in Bibi Dong's purple eyes.
How difficult it was to evolve a martial soul, especially a top-tier martial soul—every step forward was fraught with immense difficulty.
She could sense that Dai Chengfeng's soul power had stabilized at Level 50, but the latent bloodline pressure and the refinement of his mental strength far surpassed that of an ordinary Soul King.
"What kind of herb could have such miraculous effects? And your martial soul..."
Bibi Dong's curiosity was thoroughly piqued.
Dai Chengfeng chuckled: "Does Teacher wish to see?"
Bibi Dong nodded.
Dai Chengfeng focused his mind and stopped suppressing his aura.
In an instant, an ancient, majestic, sky-like pressure radiated outward from him.
Behind him, the air subtly distorted as a massive shadow slowly coalesced.
It was no longer the black-and-white striped White Tiger, but a divine beast with a noble silver sheen, its fur shimmering with a faint golden glow!
Most striking were the pair of strong, silver-feathered wings on either side of its spine!
With a gentle flap of its wings, the surrounding air currents stirred, bringing a heart-stopping sense of pressure.
"This is... a flying-type beast martial soul? No, this pressure... far surpasses any ordinary top-tier martial soul!"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes sparkled with admiration. With her knowledge, she instantly judged that the quality of this evolved martial soul was extremely high, possibly rivaling her own twin top-tier martial souls, Death Spider Emperor and Soul-Eating Spider Emperor.
"What is it called?"
"I call it... the Heavenly White Tiger," Dai Chengfeng said with a smile as he retracted his martial soul.
"The Heavenly White Tiger... What a fitting name!"
Bibi Dong murmured, a trace of astonishment and satisfaction flickering in her eyes.
She could tell that Dai Chengfeng's recent stroke of fortune would make his future even more limitless.
While Bibi Dong was still immersed in the shock of the martial soul evolution, Dai Chengfeng took a small step forward, extending his arms to naturally and gently embrace her slender waist, closing the distance between them to where their breaths mingled.
Caught off guard, Bibi Dong found herself enveloped in his arms, her lithe body stiffening slightly.
Instinctively, she tried to pull away, but Dai Chengfeng's arms were firm and strong, and his heated breath against her face left her momentarily powerless.
She raised her eyelids and shot him a sultry glare, a look so flirtatious it could quicken any man's heartbeat.
"How dare you! Just because you've made some progress doesn't mean you can be disrespectful. This is the Pope's Hall! Can't you behave properly?"
Instead of releasing her, Dai Chengfeng leaned down, his warm lips brushing teasingly against the delicate, jade-like lobe of her ear.
His deep, magnetic voice carried a hint of playfulness as he whispered into her ear: "I follow the rules with others, but with you, Teacher..."
"You have no idea how tempting you are."
His words were like feathers, gently tickling the depths of Bibi Dong's heart.
At such close proximity, Bibi Dong's flawless visage was breathtakingly beautiful.
Her skin was as white as snow, smooth and delicate. Her long lashes fluttered like butterfly wings, and her amethyst-like eyes rippled with a subtle disturbance caused by Dai Chengfeng's bold words and actions.
Below her high-bridged nose lay those enticing red lips, now slightly pursed as if trying to maintain her dignity, yet exuding a different kind of allure.
Her mature, voluptuous figure pressed against Dai Chengfeng's solid chest, radiating an intoxicating heat and fragrance, especially the curves that were tightly pressed against him.
Through the thin layer of fabric, the astonishing elasticity and softness were clearly felt.
Upon hearing Dai Chengfeng's overtly explicit words, Bibi Dong let out a cold snort, her lips curling into a disdainful smirk. "Do you think I need you to tell me?"
But.
Deep within her profound purple eyes, a fleeting trace of pride and satisfaction flashed—one so brief even she hadn't noticed it.
Dai Chengfeng caught that subtle change in her eyes, his heart stirring.
Without hesitation, he lowered his head and claimed her tempting red lips.
"Mmm..."
Bibi Dong made a token struggle, but soon melted under Dai Chengfeng's passionate and domineering kiss.
Unconsciously, her arms wrapped around his neck, responding enthusiastically.
The temperature in the bedroom seemed to rise sharply, the air filled with an ambiguous atmosphere.
After a long while, their lips parted.
Bibi Dong breathed softly, her exquisite cheeks flushed with two charming red spots, her eyes brimming with seductive allure. Her meticulously styled purple hair was slightly disheveled, adding a touch of lazy charm.
She gently pushed Dai Chengfeng away, adjusted her slightly rumpled clothes, and tried to steady her voice: "Enough, let's talk business."
"Your soul power has reached Level 50, and I can see that your energy is full and your foundation solid—not forcibly boosted."
"Coincidentally, Nana also broke through to Level 50 a few days ago, saying she was waiting for you. Now that the timing is right, it's time for you to go obtain your fifth soul ring."
Dai Chengfeng nodded, hesitating slightly.
"But, Teacher, the date of my match with Tang San and the others is less than ten days away."
"If we go to obtain the soul ring now, we might not make it in time."
