Lin Qingmo was taking a Medicinal Bath.
Bibi Dong, in a rare move, walked over.
She was holding a jade bottle in her hand.
She handed it to him.
"Drink this."
"Master, what is this?"
Lin Qingmo opened his eyes.
He looked at the gelatinous substance with curiosity.
It had a faint fishy-sweet scent.
It was unlike anything he had ever seen before.
"You’ll know once you drink it."
Bibi Dong’s tone left no room for doubt.
Although Lin Qingmo was puzzled.
He still trusted his master implicitly.
"Ah..."
He opened his mouth.
Bibi Dong poured the gelatinous substance into his mouth.
The substance was thick and slightly warm; once it slid down his throat, it melted quickly.
At first, Lin Qingmo didn’t feel anything unusual.
But it wasn’t long before.
A surge of burning energy erupted from his abdomen and quickly flowed through the Meridians and bones of his entire body.
"Wu!"
He instantly felt as if he had been thrown into a furnace.
His whole body was burning hot.
Even his skin had turned completely red.
"So hot... it’s so burning..."
Lin Qingmo couldn’t help but moan.
His body began to twist uncontrollably.
His consciousness gradually became somewhat blurred.
"Guard your mind, and circulate your spirit power to guide the energy."
Bibi Dong’s voice was cold and powerful.
It acted like a sedative, making Lin Qingmo’s chaotic consciousness a bit clearer.
He hurriedly did as he was told.
He attempted to circulate the spirit power within his body to guide that burning energy.
The process was smooth.
But that dry heat also became increasingly unbearable.
"Hot... it’s so hot..."
Lin Qingmo’s consciousness grew more and more blurred.
His hands instinctively flailed about.
Wanting to grab onto something to cool down.
Suddenly.
He felt a cool object beside him.
Like a literal lifesaver, he immediately reached out and hugged it.
It felt soft to the touch.
And there was a faint, fresh fragrance.
"..."
Bibi Dong looked at Lin Qingmo, who was clinging to her like an octopus, in bewilderment.
He was still murmuring: "So hot... cool... a bit cooler..."
"..."
The air around her also seemed to stagnate.
She could clearly feel the little guy in her arms was as hot as a small furnace.
The strength of his flailing arms wasn’t great.
Yet it made her feel at a loss.
The effect of this thousand-year whale glue was even more violent than she had anticipated.
Lin Qingmo, this little guy, still had the body of a child after all.
He couldn’t easily adapt to it the first time.
Seeing Lin Qingmo’s furrowed brows from the discomfort and his flushed little face.
The helplessness in Bibi Dong’s heart was gradually replaced by a softening.
"Sigh..."
She let out a sigh.
She didn’t push Lin Qingmo away.
Instead, she reached out and lifted him from the wooden tub.
Lin Qingmo’s body was still wet, with the Medicinal Bath liquid clinging to his skin.
But Bibi Dong didn’t mind.
She carried him to the bedside and gently laid him on the bed.
Then she lay down herself and held him tightly in her arms.
Feeling the little guy’s breathing gradually stabilize in her embrace.
A soft curve formed at the corner of Bibi Dong’s mouth.
She thought to herself: "He really is just a child."
...The night passed in silence... When the first ray of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the wooden hut and fell upon Lin Qingmo’s face.
"Wu..."
Lin Qingmo slowly opened his eyes.
His consciousness gradually cleared.
The first thing he felt was a warm and soft embrace.
He was snuggling tightly in someone’s arms, with a faint fragrance lingering at the tip of his nose.
He abruptly looked up.
A vision of snow-white entered his eyes.
Then he realized his current situation.
"Dong... Master?!"
Lin Qingmo was petrified on the spot.
His mouth was open wide enough to fit an egg.
How could he be sleeping while holding his Master?!
He hurriedly tried to break free.
But he found his hands and feet were still tightly BindingBibi Dong.
His whole person was hanging on her like a koala.
"I... what did I do last night?"
Lin Qingmo’s face instantly turned bright red.
Panic and embarrassment flooded his heart.
He tried hard to recall the events of last night.
He only remembered drinking the thing his Master gave him.
Then he became very hot.
He couldn’t remember anything after that.
However, he soon began to comfort himself.
"It’s fine, it’s fine. I’m just a six-year-old kid right now. Even if I did something, it was just an unintentional act of a child. Master shouldn’t mind."
Thinking this way.
Lin Qingmo’s mood calmed down quite a bit.
He looked down at his body.
He was surprised to find that his body seemed to have become much stronger.
His muscle lines were also significantly more defined than before.
The spirit power within his body had also become more profound and pure, circulating much more smoothly.
"This is..."
Lin Qingmo’s eyes lit up, and he instantly understood something.
"Could it be the effect of that thing I drank last night?"
Just then.
Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes.
There was a hint of post-sleep laziness in her purple eyes.
Seeing Lin Qingmo’s wide-eyed expression, a faint, plum-like smile appeared on her lips.
Her playful voice said softly: "Awake?"
"Dong... Master!"
Lin Qingmo hurriedly released his hands and feet and sat up.
He kept his head down, not daring to look at her.
"Last night... I’m sorry about last night, I didn’t mean to..."
"It’s no matter,"
Bibi Dong said indifferently.
She stood up and calmly straightened her black robe.
"What I gave you to drink last night was melted thousand-year whale glue. It can rapidly improve your physical fitness and lay the foundation for your over-limit spirit ring absorption in the future."
"Whale Glue?!"
Lin Qingmo abruptly raised his head.
He was shocked!
That was actually Whale Glue!
Of course.
The most crucial part was that Master actually knew about the effect of Whale Glue on improving physical fitness?!
"Could Master really be a legendary HermitTitled Douluo, which is why she knows so many unknown secrets?"
Thinking this way seemed reasonable.
Otherwise, how could she possibly have a hundred thousand year spirit ring?
His shocked expression made Bibi Dong feel secretly amused.
Yet she reminded him with an unchanged expression: "Do not tell anyone else the secret of Whale Glue."
"Yes!"
The doubts in Lin Qingmo’s heart vanished into thin air.
Whatever.
Keeping it secret was the right thing to do!
"Thank you, Master!"
"This is only the beginning."
Bibi Dong’s voice returned to its coldness.
"Although the effects of Whale Glue are significant, they also require subsequent training to consolidate."
"From today onwards, your training intensity will be tripled."
"Tri... Tripled?!"
The smile on Lin Qingmo’s face instantly froze.
His mouth fell wide open, showing an expression of utter despair!
The daily training was already bitter enough.
Now the intensity was going to be tripled!
This was training him to death!
"Master, can we... can we not increase it?"
Lin Qingmo looked at Bibi Dong piteously, shamelessly using his Blue-haired Little Shota body to act cute and beg for mercy.
"..."
Bibi Dong had a moment of soft-heartedness.
But it really was only for a moment.
"No."
Her words were beyond question!
Acting cute was also useless.
"If you want to become strong, you must put in effort that is unimaginable to ordinary people."
"If you can’t even endure this bit of hardship, then you will never become a Top-tier Spirit Master."
A-Qing, everything I do is for your own good.
"Fine..."
Lin Qingmo’s head slumped.
Master was right.
Only by enduring the bitterest of hardships can one become the best of men!
Even so... just thinking about the tripled training intensity he had to face next made his scalp feel numb.
This aggrieved appearance caused an imperceptible smile to curl at the corner of Bibi Dong’s mouth once again.
Although this little guy was sometimes glib-tongued, he was very resilient at his core.
As long as he was properly nurtured.
He would surely become a powerhouse in the future.
She turned and walked out of the wooden hut.
Leaving behind one sentence.
"Clean yourself up. In ten minutes, training begins."
"Understood, Master..."
Lin Qingmo replied weakly.
But his movements in putting on his clothes were not slow at all...
