Chapter 252: Bibi Dong's Warning, Hu Liena's Discovery
"Teacher... I was wrong... Please forgive me..."
"Trying to leave?"
"You're not going anywhere today!"
"..."
As the saying goes, a long drought is followed by a sweet rain.
It wasn't until Su Yun lay on the ground, crawling out of the cave and seeing the moon high in the sky, that he felt this was the longest time in his life.
He almost lost his life in there.
Click, click, click...
Bibi Dong walked out of the cave in high heels. Her previous Pope's robe had been replaced with a white casual outfit, and the crown she usually wore was gone, replaced by her wavy hair cascading down her shoulders.
Her fair cheeks had a faint blush, and combined with the way she looked at Su Yun and gently licked her red lips with her tongue, Su Yun couldn't help but shiver all over.
The old saying was indeed right: women in their thirties are like wolves, in their forties like tigers, and in their fifties...
"Teacher..." Su Yun sat on the ground, instinctively retreating, his previous arrogance replaced by an awkward smile.
"What did you call me?" Bibi Dong's phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Su Yun on the ground as if warning him to think carefully before answering.
Recalling what he had called her during their intense battle earlier, Su Yun tentatively said, "Dong... Dong'er?"
Bibi Dong was momentarily taken aback, then nodded, seemingly accepting Su Yun's address.
Su Yun let out a sigh of relief.
"Did you spend the night at that woman's place last night?" Bibi Dong suddenly asked.
Hearing this, Su Yun's heart, which had just relaxed, tensed up again!
But before he could come up with an answer, Bibi Dong squatted down, looking at Su Yun with a warning tone, "I might be stuck with you for the rest of my life. If you ever dare to betray me and our child, you know the consequences."
Su Yun nodded vigorously like a pecking chicken.
However, as soon as he felt relieved that Bibi Dong would keep the child, her next deadly question came: "How many lovers do you have outside?"
Hiss!
Su Yun took a deep breath.
He immediately understood the meaning behind Bibi Dong's question.
Although Bibi Dong somewhat disliked Ah Yin, she didn't mind sharing Su Yun with her.
As for Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing's feelings for Su Yun, Bibi Dong could naturally accept them as well.
However, if there were any more women wanting to join, it would depend on whether she agreed.
Thinking about Xiao Wu in the Star Dou Forest, Su Yun hesitantly raised a finger.
As for Qian Renxue...
Seeing that Su Yun really had someone else outside, Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow, "Who is it?!"
Bibi Dong had always known that Qian Daoliu was trying to pair Qian Renxue with Su Yun.
If those two were really together, what position would she have to meet Qian Renxue in the future?
Su Yun had no choice but to tell Bibi Dong about his past with Xiao Wu.
At the same time, he also revealed the truth about Tang Hao's death.
"So that's it." Bibi Dong understood, "No wonder you survived Tang Hao and Meng Shu back then. It turns out you were mooching off a young girl."
Realizing that her disciple (and man) had also seduced a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast, Bibi Dong's expression immediately turned into a teasing smile.
"Does that woman, or rather, does Nana know about Xiao Wu's existence?" Bibi Dong asked again.
Su Yun shook his head.
"Before, I didn't care what you did, but from now on, if you dare to mess with other women outside, don't blame me for..." Bibi Dong stopped mid-sentence, glancing at Su Yun's lower body.
Su Yun immediately got the hint and nodded like a pecking chicken.
Last night, he had clearly been in control at first, but then the situation had completely reversed.
Damn it!
"Dong'er, where are we going now?" Su Yun asked.
"Of course, we're going back to the base camp," Bibi Dong said, giving Su Yun a glance. "What, do you want to spend another night at that woman's place?"
"Or do you think I'm not as satisfying as that woman..."
Hearing the warning in her words, Su Yun's survival instincts kicked in, and he quickly shook his head, "No, I was just asking."
Bibi Dong gave Su Yun a look and then said, "Our Spirit Empire will continue to expand outward. The first step will be the Star Luo Empire. Although their ordinary soldiers are stronger than those of the Heaven Dou Empire, their Spirit Master strength is inferior to ours. They don't even have Title Douluo level experts."
"We just need to carry out decapitation operations and keep advancing."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong seemed to revert to her role as the Empress of the Spirit Empire. She turned to Su Yun and said, "Your suggestion was excellent. When I went to the front lines, I received intelligence that many border civilians of the Star Luo Empire have secretly defected to us, providing maps and intelligence of many cities. Our advance is now very rapid."
Su Yun's plan had proven to be highly effective for the Spirit Empire's advancement.
Without wasting much military strength, civilians defected and even guided them.
Hearing Bibi Dong's praise, Su Yun smiled.
The two of them continued chatting as they flew back to the base camp.
As they approached the base camp, Su Yun heard Bibi Dong's voice in his ear, "In private, you can call me whatever you want, but in front of others, if you say the wrong thing, be careful, or I'll castrate you!"
Su Yun felt a chill in his nether regions. Before he could respond, Bibi Dong transformed into a streak of light, darting into the Spirit Empire's base camp.
Su Yun sighed and followed.
"Teacher."
"Your Majesty."
As soon as Bibi Dong landed, she saw her disciples Hu Liena and Zhu Zhuqing.
"What are you two doing here?" Bibi Dong asked.
"We're waiting for Brother Su Yun," Zhu Zhuqing replied. Her eyes, like a cat's, secretly observed the Pope.
For some reason, she felt that today's Pope seemed different from the impression she had yesterday.
Thinking of what Sister Yin had told her about the Pope being pregnant with Brother Su Yun's child, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel awkward facing the Pope.
Bibi Dong seemed to sense Zhu Zhuqing's eyes glancing at her abdomen. She had a vague feeling that Zhu Zhuqing might know something.
But given her nature, she didn't say much. She just exchanged a few words with them and left.
Watching Bibi Dong's departing figure, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly felt Hu Liena pinching her waist.
"Why are you pinching me, Nana?"
"Didn't you notice the teacher wasn't wearing the Pope's robe today?"
"What do you mean?"
"You're so dense." Hu Liena flicked Zhu Zhuqing's forehead. "Don't forget, the teacher always wears the Pope's robe in front of others. Why did she suddenly wear her own dress today?"
Zhu Zhuqing's expression changed as she grasped Hu Liena's implication, exclaiming, "You mean..."
"Shh..." Hu Liena quickly covered Zhu Zhuqing's mouth. "You understand, but keep it quiet."
"You mean the Pope went out today with Brother Su Yun..."
"Last night, Su Yun didn't come back, so he must have stayed at Sister Yin's place. I don't believe they didn't do anything."
"And today, the teacher's behavior is a bit strange..."
Hu Liena had originally thought Zhu Zhuqing was her only rival, but it turned out her first rival was her teacher!
And the teacher was even pregnant with Su Yun's child!
"Zhuqing, we need to tighten our grip." Hu Liena poked Zhu Zhuqing's waist. "Tonight, let's ambush Su Yun."
Zhu Zhuqing, still in a daze, nodded when she heard Hu Liena's decision, "Okay."
Su Yun didn't expect that, just after finishing a day's battle, a little fox and a little cat would climb into his bed at night.
This time, however, he showcased his prowess, making the little fox and little cat beg for mercy.
The next day.
When Su Yun came out of the house feeling refreshed, he finally understood that the combat power of young girls and mature women was different.
The former had a maximum of two thousand, while the latter had at least ten thousand.
"Exercise is essential."
Su Yun mumbled to himself and began his training for the day.
...
While Su Yun was indulging in tender affections daily, on the other side at Sea God Island, Tang San was engaged in daily combat training with the Title Douluo of Sea God Island!
"Tang San, you have great talent, but rushing to achieve results will affect your foundation," Grand Priest Bo Saixi commented after watching Tang San's several sparring sessions.
"I know you want revenge, but training this way will make your spirit power become unstable. Even if you become a god, your foundation will be weak."
Tang San nodded, understanding the meaning behind Bo Saixi's words: "Grand Priest, I understand everything you're saying, but my great-grandfather died for me in the Heaven Dou Imperial City. Now, the Spirit Hall has formed the Spirit Empire and is invading the two great empires. If I don't progress quickly, by the time all my loved ones are dead, what meaning would there be in becoming a god?"
The Grand Priest, Bo Saixi, hearing the agitation in Tang San's voice and knowing his determination to become stronger, said, "You have passed the first four trials of the Sea God's Nine Trials. The fifth trial is to challenge a Title Douluo."
"During this period, you have broken through to the seventieth level of spirit power, reaching the Soul Saint realm."
"But if you want to defeat the Seven Sacred Pillars and pass the fifth trial, being a Soul Saint is not enough."
"You must at least reach the Soul Douluo realm."
Soul Douluo?
Tang San's eyes narrowed.
Originally, he had planned to challenge the fifth trial after breaking through to the Soul Saint level, but after sparring with several Title Douluo recently, he realized he was still lacking.
"Alright, I'll do as you say, Grand Priest."
Seeing that Tang San was not stubbornly insisting on speeding up his cultivation, Bo Saixi nodded slightly.
...
Boom!
While Tang San was training on Sea God Island, the interior of the Star Luo Empire was already in turmoil due to the Spirit Empire's army.
Numerous noble families of the Star Luo Empire were overthrown by the Spirit Empire's soldiers.
These nobles fled to the Heaven Dou Empire, abandoning their servants and carrying whatever possessions they could.
The two largest noble families of the Star Luo Empire, the Dai family and the Zhu family, were caught in a dilemma.
They were royal families.
If they fled, it would mean the downfall of the nation!
But if they didn't escape, the Spirit Empire's decapitation operations would certainly spell their doom!
After all, the Star Luo Empire didn't even have a Title Douluo within its royal family.
"Damn the Spirit Empire!" The Star Luo Emperor sat on the throne, looking at the quarreling ministers below, his heart filled with resentment.
Within the palace, the war faction and the peace faction were in constant dispute.
One side wanted to fight to the bitter end, while the other side wanted to negotiate, offering territories to the Spirit Empire in exchange for survival.
"The Spirit Empire harbors evil ambitions. Do you think surrendering will save your lives? Dream on!"
"As long as there are green mountains, there will be firewood. Continuing this war will only bring more suffering. We just need to send a persuasive envoy to make the Spirit Empire abandon their attack."
"Your Majesty, the support and soldiers from the Heaven Dou Empire have been cut off by the Spirit Hall. We are now isolated and can only fight to the death!"
"Your Majesty, please seek peace!"
"..."
The argument was deafening.
"Cough, cough, cough—"
Suddenly, the Star Luo Emperor's coughing from the throne silenced everyone.
This Star Luo Emperor, who had been on the throne for many years, was a genuine Soul Douluo!
With an eighty-ninth level of spirit power, he was just one step away from becoming a Title Douluo.
Unfortunately, he had been stuck at this step for half his life...
"Dai Weisi, Zhu Zhuyun, as the Crown Prince and Crown Princess of our Star Luo Empire, what are your opinions?"
The Crown Prince was the next in line to be the Star Luo Emperor.
Dai Weisi had thought that he only needed to cultivate diligently, and when the Emperor passed away or he became a Title Douluo, he would become the next Star Luo Emperor.
Who would have thought that the Spirit Hall would start a war?
Dai Weisi sighed and said, "Your Majesty, I have an idea, though I don't know if it is appropriate."
"Speak freely," the Star Luo Emperor said.
Dai Weisi said, "Send a message to the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, Su Yun, and ask Zhu Zhuyun to plead with Zhu Zhuqing. This is our only way now."
Zhu Zhuqing!
Hearing this name, the ministers present were stunned.
Ten years ago, when they heard that Zhu Zhuqing had stayed in Spirit Hall, they all denounced her as a traitor, unworthy of being a daughter of the Zhu family.
If not for the strong stance of Spirit Hall, they would have demanded her return long ago.
But now, they were to ask Zhu Zhuqing for help?
Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?
"Crown Prince, Zhu Zhuqing is just one of Su Yun's women."
"And Su Yun, the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, is not the master of the Spirit Empire. Above him is his teacher, the current Pope, Bibi Dong."
"Do you think relying on Zhu Zhuqing, whose loyalty to us is uncertain, can save our Star Luo Empire?"
Hearing their colleague's words, the ministers nodded, thinking he expressed their thoughts.
However, the next words from Dai Weisi sent a chill down their spines.
"Who said I want to save the Star Luo Empire?"
