Chapter 198: Hu Liena: Teacher, our enemies and Dugu Lin's enemies have never been each other!
He only stayed at home for half an hour.
Dugu Lin, Dugu Yan, and Feng Xiaotian then headed to the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Upon seeing Dugu Yan, the guard immediately knelt on one knee: "Greetings, Your Majesty the Empress! We respectfully welcome Your Majesty back to the palace!"
"Rise, where is His Majesty?"
"In the Imperial Study!"
"Hmm, you may leave. I will go to the Imperial Study myself."
Dugu Yan led everyone to the Imperial Study. As soon as they entered, Dugu Yan saw a woman sitting next to Qian Renxue, but she was not the Snow Emperor.
"You're back! I can feel that you've become stronger!"
"Hmm, you've reached level 90 in soul power! Hmm? Your soul power seems even more abundant now!"
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "You're making progress, and so am I! Over the past two years, I've also been working hard to cultivate, and after reaching level 90, I condensed a soul core!"
"A Soul Core? Congratulations!" Dugu Lin thought to himself, 'After returning from the City of Slaughter, I'll need to work on the Soul Core... Hmm? Or perhaps this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest, with the Demon Emperor and the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm both sacrificing themselves, will provide an opportunity for me to condense a Soul Core!'
At this moment, the woman stood up, cupped her hands, and said, "Greetings, everyone!"
Qian Renxue introduced, "This is Lingyuan Douluo, sent by my grandfather to take over my work. It just so happens that your sister is back. With your sister and Lingyuan Douluo together, they are more than capable of managing Heaven Dou!"
"Oh~ So your grandfather is also eager for you to go back and inherit the godhood!" Dugu Lin glanced at Ling Yuan Douluo with interest. This person was Bibi Dong's man!
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "However, I'm still missing a ninth spirit ring!"
"I came here today to talk to you about this! We'll set off in three days and meet up with your grandfather and the others on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest!"
After saying that, Dugu Lin looked at Feng Xiaotian and said, "Feng Xiaotian, you will stay in the palace to protect my sister during this time. Also, don't slack off on your cultivation!"
"Don't worry." Feng Xiaotian patted his chest, exchanged a glance with Dugu Yan, and Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed red.
...
Everything was arranged perfectly, but a small unexpected situation occurred at the Spirit Hall!
After Hu Liena returned to the Spirit Hall and met with Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong was still reeling from the sudden changes on Seagod Island and the divinely bestowed spirit rings—something even the Rakshasa God didn't possess. Then Yue Guan reported that the Hall of Offerings had once again mobilized its entire force, their target: the Star Dou Great Forest!
Bibi Dong pondered, "Dugu Lin is indeed a peculiar person, exceptionally talented! He knows a lot of unknown information! This time, their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest must be because of the spirit ring issue! By the way, Nana, how many spirit rings does Dugu Lin's second spirit have now?"
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then, realizing that Dugu Lin's number of spirit rings wasn't a secret, she truthfully replied, "Five!"
"Hmm..." Bibi Dong nodded slightly and murmured, "Perfect! I'm still missing two spirit rings! I can go and get a piece of the pie!"
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment before saying, "Teacher, before I came back, Dugu Lin told me about a soul beast called the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger..."
After hearing the introduction of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise: "There are actually such soul beasts in the world? They actually possess six attributes at the same time? Space, time, evil, power, wind, and thunder!"
The six attributes are too overpowered, and the spirit ring is a perfect match for Bibi Dong! This makes it difficult for Bibi Dong to choose between the 60,000-year Dark Demon Evil God Tiger spirit ring and a 100,000-year spirit ring.
Bibi Dong is only two spirit rings away from being able to obtain them. She originally wanted to find two more 100,000-year spirit rings!
Although 100,000-year-old soul beasts are hard to find, the three members of the Golden Generation all possess a divinely bestowed soul ring, and Bibi Dong doesn't want to snatch the opportunities from the younger generation!
However, there's also this trip to the Star Dou Great Forest! There's bound to be a 100,000-year spirit ring!
Regardless of the choice, Bibi Dong immediately ordered Yue Guan, Gui Mei, Hu Liena, Demon Bear Douluo, and ten Soul Douluos to go to the Star Dou Great Forest!
"Teacher..." Hu Liena hesitated as she entered the Star Dou Great Forest.
Bibi Dong said, "Speak your mind."
"Yes!" Hu Liena responded, then, having gathered her thoughts, said, "Teacher, I beg you... to approve of my relationship with Dugu Lin! I will marry no one but him in this life!"
Bibi Dong took a deep breath, instantly exuding a murderous aura! She would never forget how Dugu Lin had confronted her back in the Spirit Hall!
The pure land she had maintained in her heart was ruthlessly shattered by Dugu Lin! It was Bibi Dong's last spiritual refuge!
Hu Liena quickly continued, "Teacher, our enemy and Dugu Lin's enemy has never been each other, but the God Realm! Even if you break through to level 100 and become a god, will there really be no more wars in the God Realm? Will we be a match for those veteran gods in the God Realm? And... and that Tang San, Teacher, you haven't forgotten what happened at the Soul Master Competition more than two years ago, have you? A god intervened and saved Tang San, so it's obvious that Tang San may also become a god!"
When Tang San was mentioned, Bibi Dong's murderous intent shifted somewhat.
The oppressive force of the Asura God's descent was still fresh in Bibi Dong's memory! How could she possibly forget that feeling of powerlessness?!
Since the start of the Soul Master Competition, Bibi Dong had already been wavering without realizing it.
His beloved is a fame-seeker! His enemies are not Qian Daoliu and Qian Renxue, nor are they Dugu Lin!
Unifying the continent doesn't seem to be her ultimate goal! What exactly is her goal? Is it merely to become a god?
Bibi Dong became somewhat lost, unsure of what she had been pursuing all her life!
"As long as he doesn't become my enemy... Hmph!" Bibi Dong snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Thank you, teacher!" Hu Liena was overjoyed, and a happy smile quietly appeared on her face.
Sigh~
Seeing this, Bibi Dong sighed inwardly. The smile on Hu Liena's face was something Bibi Dong had been searching for her entire life! Unfortunately, after Dugu Lin shattered the pure land in her heart, Bibi Dong had already lost the right to pursue it.
'As long as Nana can continue to be this happy...' This was Bibi Dong's wish; she truly raised Hu Liena as her daughter.
As the group of fifteen walked, they suddenly saw a person standing on the top of a tree ahead.
"Dugu!"
Hu Liena was overjoyed and was about to rush over to give Dugu Lin a big hug.
As soon as Hu Liena made a move, Yue Guan grabbed her and shook his head slightly, signaling her not to act rashly.
Hu Liena turned to look at Bibi Dong and softly called out, "Teacher..."
Bibi Dong looked up at Dugu Lin and asked in a deep voice, "Dugu Lin, what is the meaning of blocking my way?"
Dugu Lin cupped his hands and said, "Your Holiness, instead of presiding over the re-election of the seven major sects in Heaven Dou City, why do you have time to come to the Star Dou Great Forest?"
Bibi Dong snorted coldly: "Let's not beat around the bush! I'm here today to get a share of the pie!"
"A share of the pie?" At this moment, Qian Daoliu descended from mid-air, his tone icy.
