Outside of the few priests, outsiders had no way of knowing the conversation in the Hall of Enshrinement.

The night grew deeper.

Located at the peak of the mountain, behind Douluo Hall, the Hall of Enshrinement saw a golden afterimage streak across the night sky.

It was filled with sacred power.

That was unexpectedly the High Priest of Spirit Hall, Peerless Douluo Qian Daoliu.

Qian Renxue did not explicitly state her relationship with Ye Qiu, but as Grandpa, Qian Daoliu could be said to be Qian Renxue's only living relative in this world.

He understood his granddaughter's strong-willed personality; wanting Qian Renxue to praise a certain young man endlessly was simply impossible.

Even if that young man who reached the Spirit Douluo level at such a young age did not have that kind of relationship with Qian Renxue, presumably he wouldn't be too bad either.

Since Xiaoxue had given a word, he might as well go remind Bibi Dong.

Swish——!

The golden light streaked across the mountainside. Arriving near Bibi Dong's residence, Qian Daoliu immediately stopped his movements, his golden brows knitting together.

It was this ominous, evil aura once again.

"Has she truly embarked upon that path? What a pity. If the mother and daughter could be of one heart, where in this vast world would not belong to our Spirit Hall?"

There was helplessness in Qian Daoliu's eyes.

Right and wrong were simply impossible to clearly distinguish. Perhaps for each other, or even for himself, it was a mixture of right and wrong.

Pursuing love was good, but the methods were utterly wrong. Punishment was deserved, but the manner went against human ethics. And he was an enabler who couldn't even avenge his own son!

Qian Daoliu resumed his movements, quietly standing outside the courtyard.

As the distance closed, the repulsion of that evil aura toward him became increasingly clear.

Without a doubt.

Bibi Dong also perceived that trace of sacred aura approaching, which she intensely loathed.

There was no unnecessary communication.

Sitting cross-legged on the bed, Bibi Dong immediately opened her eyes and shouted angrily toward the outside:

"Get lost——!"

The rolling wave of sound already carried a hint of ferocity.

Qian Daoliu remained expressionless.

Crisp and decisive.

"That young man might be one of Xiaoxue's few relatives; as the Pope, no harm must come to him."

"..."

Qian Daoliu's voice directly enshrouded the entire courtyard. Having reached his Realm, he could control the surrounding environment. Just like Bo Saixi, there was a feeling of mastering the power of heaven and earth.

As his voice fell, the air grew silent.

Inside the room.

Bibi Dong's complexion was as gloomy as water.

Was Qian Daoliu threatening her? If something happened to Ye Qiu, would he strip her of her Pope position? Heh. How utterly ridiculous!

Fury erupted in her heart, but Bibi Dong understood that now was not the time to completely tear apart their facades.

"Get lost——!"

"I don't need you to teach me how to do things!"

"..."

The air returned to calm, the Holy Light faded, and Qian Daoliu had already left.

He had already done what needed to be done.

Bibi Dong would not act rashly in her current state; Qian Daoliu was certain... that the other party was not yet his match.

Even though Bibi Dong possessed one-in-a-million Twin Martial Souls.

"Damn it!!!"

Bibi Dong's expression appeared slightly ferocious.

Ye Qiu's actions had already made her exceptionally displeased, and now Qian Daoliu's intervention made her feel as disgusted as if she had swallowed something of Ye Qiu's.

"Few relatives, huh. Heh heh, then I will destroy everything you cherish! Including you, you wretch."

Bibi Dong gnashed her teeth, her voice cutting off abruptly.

Her face wore a struggling expression.

When all was said and done, she still cared about that shred of bloodline connection.

But thinking of this, she felt an unstoppable wave of disgust.

"Ye Qiu, I hope you can escape with your life in my hands. Otherwise, the sight of that spawn crying as they come looking for me should be quite interesting, right? Hahahaha!"

Bibi Dong let out a hysterical laugh within the confined space.

She had been suppressed for far too long!

————————————————

Unlike Bibi Dong's side, the entire room in Ye Qiu's residence was filled with the scent of love, enough to make one dizzy.

In the bathroom, fierce waves crashed against the shore.

In the courtyard, amidst the noisy chirping of insects, creaking noises gradually emerged.

It made this patch of heaven and earth all the more vibrant with the passion of life.

Spirit Kite Douluo, who had departed in a hurry during the day, ultimately couldn't bear to let go of such a one-on-one opportunity.

She originally wanted to come keep Ye Qiu company.

Of course, that was just Spirit Vulture's own excuse.

Ye Qiu also took it as Spirit Vulture coming to accompany him, fearing his dread of the dark night.

It naturally followed that he was wrapped within the wings and feathers of the Blazing Spirit Kite, seeking the comfort of that secluded corner, as if his soul could be bathed from head to toe.

The sun was already three poles high.

A graceful figure, dressed in crooked Black armor, limped away from this vibrant courtyard.

As an Elder, having returned to Spirit City, she naturally needed to head to the Pope's Palace early to report on her duties.

She should have done it yesterday, but Bibi Dong happened to be infuriated by Ye Qiu at that time.

Spirit Vulture wouldn't dare court such bad luck.

But today, she seemed a bit unable to manage; her condition was somewhat abnormal.

Even after treatment, the fatigue on both body and mind was not so easily relieved.

Floating like an immortal and standing aloof from the world, wanting to be a mere mortal again was difficult indeed.

With no other choice, she had to first leave that utterly battered place and return home to rest alone for a moment.

Slap! Swish swish swish——

Inside the room, Black tentacles slid down from the roof, passing through the rafters.

The tentacles seemed to still be rolling up clothing and roof tiles.

The entire room was filled with Black tentacles, placing the tea sets swept all over the floor back onto the tabletop, and straightening the slightly tilted canvas depicting two slender hands.

In no time at all.

Ye Qiu, who could basically be said to have been awake all night, cleaned the room inside and out.

He opened the doors and windows, welcoming the breeze and warm sun, allowing the primal Qi within to escape.

The pattering sound of water rang out.

"Hoo——"

Ye Qiu collapsed onto the tidied bed with a naked body.

But just at this moment, a somewhat familiar aura carrying a chill appeared within Ye Qiu's perception range.

Tap!

Swish——!

Hearing the sound, Ye Qiu immediately sat up.

A Black surging wave swept over, transforming into trousers.

His Black pupils stared at the graceful figure appearing at the doorway.

The two stared at each other for a full few seconds.

The back of Bibi Dong's hand, which had knocked on the door, had not yet left.

Her pupils trembled slightly twice, and she still remained expressionless.

As if she had seen nothing, she said with utter composure: "It seems you are living quite comfortably here in Spirit City."

"Of course. With the Pope here, who would dare act presumptuously in Spirit City? Spirit City is undoubtedly one of the safest places in the Soul Master world."

Ye Qiu smiled, a hint of amazement in his eyes.

Wearing her battle attire, Bibi Dong looked different from when she wore the Pope robes; capable, iron-blooded, and possessing a unique charm.

"Heh."

Bibi Dong sneered.

Her heart grew cold. Was Ye Qiu reminding her that he had the Hall of Enshrinement as his backing?

She slowly took two steps forward.

Facing that faint tainted breeze, Bibi Dong instantly furrowed her brows.

Spirit Vulture had been here?!

Wish you all a happy life!
