Chapter 79: Bibi Dong: A Million-Year Soul Beast? Leave the benefits, get out of my Spirit body!
Tianmeng simply gave up: "Then you tell me, what should I do? Should I leave?"
Hu Bai smiled: "Right now, I'm still young, so letting you temporarily reside in my Spiritual Sea isn't a big problem. But what if I get a girlfriend in the future? Are you going to peek then?"
"So, we need to make an agreement. Since you actively sought me out, everything must be according to my will. I can promise that if I become a god in the future, I will definitely take you with me. But if you go against my wishes midway, then I'm sorry—I will ask my teacher and Grandpa Qian to directly erase your consciousness."
Tianmeng's chubby body trembled. Holy crap—that's ruthless!
"Oh, right, let me tell you: my Grandpa Qian is a level ninety-nine Ultimate Douluo, possessing Angel divine power. And his granddaughter, Qian Renxue, has an innate level twenty soul power, ten levels of which are God-given soul power. And I am very likely to be her future fiancé. Tell me, do I have the ability to take you to the God Realm?"
Now, Hu Bai was somewhat painting a grand picture.
Although he didn't have a god position yet, Qian Renxue was already destined to be an Angel God. A first-rank god could bring one relative, and Bibi Dong, possessing the Rakshasa god position, could also bring one relative.
So, he had a fallback. Even if he didn't get a god position in the future, would his teacher Bibi Dong not take him? Would his fiancée, Qian Renxue not take him?
This might be a bit narcissistic, but there's a high chance they would take him, right?
However, Hu Bai still preferred the feeling of having his own god position—after all, he liked being on top.
Holy crap!
A Ultimate Douluo!
That golden-haired middle-aged man actually possessed such strength!
Fortunately, his innate soul skill could conceal his aura; otherwise, he really would have been discovered.
As for Hu Bai mentioning god-given soul power, it made his eyes light up. It seemed that as long as he followed this person, he really would have a chance to achieve eternal life in the future!
He'd gamble on it!
Although if he didn't choose Hu Bai, he would still have about ten thousand years to select the next person with a mental type Martial Soul. He didn't think anyone else would be more suitable than Hu Bai!
Hu Bai was backed by Spirit Hall, so he didn't lack resources. Moreover, he had someone by his side who would likely become a god in the future, and his own talent was so good that he might also find a god position in the future.
At worst, he could also learn from the Sea God and collect the Power of Faith to create his own god position!
If Hu Bai were alone, collecting the Power of Faith might be a bit difficult, but he was backed by Spirit Hall!
For the sake of eternal life in the future, Tianmeng gritted his teeth and said, "Then how about this: didn't you say your Grandpa Qian possesses Angel divine force? Let him apply a layer of protection to your Spiritual Sea. After I become your Wisdom soul ring, I will listen to you completely!"
Tianmeng was now extremely eager.
This was exactly the effect Hu Bai wanted.
He didn't want Tianmeng to betray him in the future.
He still remembered clearly that in Douluo Dalu 2 in Qiankun Wenqing Valley, Tianmeng directly became God King Tang's bootlicker, even colluding with Tang San to assault the Ice Empress.
This was a matter of character.
And Hu Bai needed to prevent this big bug from defecting at a critical moment. He really wanted to ask Qian Daoliu for some Angel divine power to suppress him.
Finally, Hu Bai's lips curved slightly: "Alright, it's decided then. I have the herbs you need with me, enough to increase your cultivation by several thousand years, but I can only give them to you when we are about to leave the Star Dou Great Forest."
"After you become my Wisdom soul ring, your main body should disappear, right? Won't those Fierce Beasts go crazy then?"
Tianmeng hastily said, "No, I will leave my physical body there, and my physical body will contain a small part of my essence. They won't discover it for a few months."
Hu Bai nodded, then withdrew from his Spiritual Sea.
Opening his eyes, Hu Bai glanced at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, who were still absorbing soul rings, and said nothing. Instead, he walked towards Bibi Dong.
"Teacher, come with me for a moment." Hu Bai's small hand gently grasped Bibi Dong's sleeve, pulling her to another side. This made Dugu Bo and Xie Yue look puzzled.
"Teacher, just now a big bug entered my Spiritual Sea and said he was a million-year soul beast, wanting to be my Wisdom soul ring—" Before Hu Bai could finish speaking, Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened, and a mental power immediately injected into Hu Bai's forehead.
But after checking, she didn't seem to find anything unusual.
Hu Bai somewhat helplessly took the soft hand from his forehead: "Teacher, I can see he has no ill intentions. Please let me finish speaking first."
Bibi Dong, however, didn't feel that her behavior was excessive. She didn't even have time to care that Hu Bai was holding her hand.
If it really was a million-year soul beast, then that would be...
Last time, she had obtained a few rather private ancient texts from Qian Daoliu, which recorded soul beasts far exceeding one hundred thousand years—also known as super soul beasts.
Cultivation over two hundred thousand years!
But now Hu Bai was telling her that he had encountered a million-year cultivation soul beast. How strong would that be?
And it had silently invaded Hu Bai's Spiritual Sea. How could she not be nervous?
After listening to everything Hu Bai said, regarding Hu Bai's statement that "he has no ill intentions," Bibi Dong simply considered Hu Bai to be young and naive.
Now, this big bug was only willing to become Hu Bai's Wisdom soul ring because its life was threatened.
Soul masters and soul beasts are inherently antagonistic. As humans, it is best not to believe anything soul beasts say.
Bibi Dong didn't deny that good soul beasts existed, but what did that have to do with them?
Soul masters hunting soul beasts to improve themselves is a selfish and self-serving act. Even if you are a good soul beast, you still have to be killed!
Moreover, with Tianmeng's million-year cultivation, even if he became Hu Bai's Wisdom soul ring, with his vast mental power, would he really surrender without a fight?
Didn't he have the ability to control Hu Bai's Spiritual Sea for a short period?
For Bibi Dong, letting the Tianmeng Iceworm's Spiritual body reside in Hu Bai's Spiritual Sea was a ticking time bomb!
But!
If Hu Bai could obtain the benefits Tianmeng mentioned, then his future would definitely be smooth sailing!
Therefore, she already had an idea in her mind: once Hu Bai obtained all the benefits, she would ask the Rakshasa God for help to directly eliminate the Tianmeng Iceworm's Spiritual body, and then personally apply a seal to him, preventing the million-year life essence from leaking out, allowing it to gradually unseal as Hu Bai's cultivation improved!
If the child didn't understand, could she, the adult, also not understand?
However, for now, to avoid alerting the enemy, Bibi Dong did not tell Hu Bai her thoughts. She still had to secretly find Qian Daoliu.
