On the tree-lined path of the Heaven Dou Junior Soul Master Academy.
Meng Chen was dragged along by Ning Rongrong, and they walked for almost half of the campus.
Once she was sure none of those annoying guys were following her, the little witch stopped, panting.
After releasing Meng Chen’s arm, she leaned weakly against a large maple tree.
Her once bright and lively eyes were now clouded with anxiety.
“Hey, Miss Ning, isn’t that enough?”
Meng Chen rubbed his hands, looking at her with a hint of helplessness.
However, this time, Ning Rongrong did not retaliate angrily as usual.
Instead, she buried her head in her chest, clutching the hem of her yellow skirt tightly with both hands, her nostrils twitching slightly, as if she had suffered a great injustice, and her eyes were red.
Meng Chen was stunned.
When she was at the Crown Prince’s residence, even when she was so angry that she was jumping up and down, she still acted all high and mighty.
Why is she suddenly crying now?
Meng Chen asked tentatively, “Are you…
are you alright?”
“Meng Chen…do you find me annoying?”
Ning Rongrong sniffed, raised her head, and her usually delicate face was now filled with unease.
“Gu Yuena came this morning.
You kept looking at her during class.
Now two more women have appeared.”
“If you ever get seduced by them, where will I…where will I ever get to touch such soft bunny ears again!”
Meng Chen was initially moved by her self-reproachful words, but after hearing the last sentence, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
So all your grievances stemmed from my ears, huh?!
“Okay, okay, stop crying.”
Meng Chen sighed.
Although this girl was very willful, she was ultimately a spoiled child.
Meng Chen reached out and patted her stray hairs, softening his tone: “What do you mean by stealing?
I’m a living person, not a commodity.
Besides, I’m not familiar with that Gu Yuena, and I only met Dugu Yan once at the pharmacy.
Aren’t you tired of being so suspicious every day?”
“Really…really?”
Ning Rongrong looked up through her teary eyes and sniffled.
“You’re not lying to me?
You won’t run off with them just because they’re pretty?”
“I’d be a dog if I lied to you, okay?”
Meng Chen rolled his eyes in annoyance.
Ning Rongrong burst into laughter through her tears, quickly wiping them away.
She hugged Meng Chen’s neck and placed her hands on his fluffy rabbit ears, giving them a couple of firm squeezes.
“Hehe!
I knew Meng Chen, you’re the best!”
“No taking it back, pinky promise, for a hundred years, no take-backs!”
Feeling the tingling sensation on the tip of his ear, Meng Chen stiffened and closed his eyes in despair.
Well, we’ve fallen for their trap again.
The Little Witch’s tears are the most unreliable hidden weapon in the world!
After their playful banter, the two walked side by side toward the classroom.
…
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, in the hearts of soul masters on the continent, lies Martial Soul City.
At the top of the magnificent Papal Palace, a dark purple velvet curtain hangs low.
On the vast papal throne.
Bibi Dong lay casually on a chair covered in white fox fur.
A dark purple, form-fitting silk dress accentuated her stunningly curvaceous figure, while her long, slender, snow-white legs were crossed, exuding a languid beauty.
That beautiful, aloof face was now covered with a layer of frost.
Deep within his spiritual sea, the Rakshasa God’s tyrannical divine thoughts throbbed with pain once more.
At times like this, Bibi Dong would involuntarily picture that little guy with a pair of rabbit ears.
Thinking back to when Qian Daoliu forcibly intervened using his strength as a Limit Douluo.
When Bibi Dong heard about Qian Renxue kidnapping someone and bringing them back to Tian Dou City, a deep sense of frustration flashed in her phoenix eyes.
“Useless!
A bunch of useless trash!”
Just then, a strong, flowing-like fluctuation appeared in the space beneath the main hall’s shadow.
Immediately afterwards, two dark figures appeared silently and knelt on one knee.
“Your Holiness, please calm your anger!”
The man in black at the front nervously presented a crystal with intricate engravings for recording images with both hands.
“Your subordinates have been traveling day and night, and the Heavenly Battle Temple has also gathered information about that young man!”
“read.”
Bibi Dong slightly raised her eyelids and calmly uttered a single word.
“yes!”
The scout in black opened the scroll in his hand and reported the situation in an orderly manner.
“Three days ago, Xue Qinghe sent the child to the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy.”
“Before enrolling in school, this child had secretly visited the Cixin Pharmacy in Tiandou City multiple times to purchase a large quantity of body-strengthening elixirs!”
“Oh?
Bibi Dong gently tapped the armrest of the throne with her slender, jade-like fingers, her phoenix eyes revealing interest.
“A rabbit-themed martial spirit actually wants to refine its body?
What did it buy?”
“Your Majesty, according to the prescription passed down from our inside source at the pharmacy, the child specifically requested the Thousand-Year Sea Dragon Marrow!”
Upon hearing the name “Sea Dragon Marrow,” Bibi Dong’s delicate eyebrows lifted slightly: “Thousand-year-old Sea Dragon Marrow, that little guy has quite the appetite.”
“Your Majesty’s insight is truly remarkable!”
The scout in black immediately offered a flattering remark, then quickly changed his tune, saying:
“However, coincidentally, the deep-sea caravan that Cixin Pharmacy was preparing Sea Dragon Marrow encountered a riot of sea spirit beasts on its return journey.
The entire caravan was wiped out, and all the Sea Dragon Marrow was destroyed.
Currently, no other thousand-year-old Sea Dragon Marrow can be found within the entire Heaven Dou Empire!”
A brief silence fell over the hall.
Bibi Dong rested her chin on one hand, her purple eyes reflecting the flickering candlelight in the palace.
A moment later, a haughty sneer slowly escaped from the red lips of the highest authority on the continent.
“Qian Renxue, is this what you meant by being able to give him everything?”
Bibi Dong snorted coldly, her disdain evident in her eyes: “You think you can get away with everything just by taking people back to Tiandou City?
The Crown Prince of the dignified Tiandou Empire can’t even prepare enough body-refining elixirs on his own territory.
You’re utterly incompetent!”
Just thinking about Qian Renxue holding Meng Chen in her arms, with that thief-like expression on her face…
Bibi Dong finally found an outlet for the anger that had been building up inside her for so long.
“Elder Ghost”.
In the empty hall, Bibi Dong’s cold and majestic voice suddenly rang out.
“exist!”
From the shadows of the main hall, a gaunt, dark figure shrouded in eerie ghostly energy emerged.
Ghost Douluo: A Ghostly Being!
Bibi Dong stood up from her throne and looked down at the people below.
“With my warrant, open the Pope’s private treasury.”
“In the third compartment on the east side of the private vault, there is a piece of 30,000-year-old sea dragon marrow that was peeled off when the Spirit Hall hunted a 10,000-year-old sea dragon beast during its early expedition to the deep sea.”
Ghostly eyelids twitched.
He had overheard a conversation between several people, so hearing this now, he naturally understood what they wanted to do.
However, he dared not hesitate for a moment and immediately bowed in response.
“Yes, sir!”
“After you retrieve it, you must personally go to Tiandou City.”
“Remember, avoid all of Qian Daoliu’s spies in Tiandou City, and do not alert Xue Qinghe.”
“Find a suitable opportunity to personally hand over the sea dragon marrow to that little rabbit.”
“As Your Majesty commands!”
Ghost Douluo’s figure flickered, transforming into a ghostly shadow, and disappeared into the hall.
