Chapter 301: Bibi Dong Administers Poison

"How about it?"

"I can grant you a status equal to Hu Liena, and even allow you to compete for the position of successor to the Spirit Hall in the future, becoming the next Pope."

Bibi Dong looked at Qin Jian, her eyes carrying a hint of anticipation.

If she could truly win Qin Jian over, it would be an incredibly massive asset for her.

Everyone else also assumed that Qin Jian would surely agree this time; after all, the conditions offered by the Pope were tempting enough, and coupled with the right to compete for the successor of the Spirit Hall, no one could resist.

"Jian Shu..."

Ning Fengzhi said in a low voice, "What do you think?"

Jian Douluo kept his gaze fixed on Qin Jian's back, was silent for a moment, and said, "If it can ensure his safety, then becoming the Pope's disciple is acceptable, but... if he wants to develop that kind of relationship, the master-disciple bond will be an obstacle."

This kind of apprenticeship is very different from that of an academy teacher; once one becomes a disciple, it is a direct mentorship, a truly intimate relationship.

Precisely because of this, under normal circumstances, a Spirit Master will not take another person as a teacher after having one, because such an act is no different from switching allegiances.

Moreover, engaging in romance with one's teacher is also hard to accept; if this layer of relationship exists between Qin Jian and Bibi Dong, it will add an obstacle out of thin air...

"Sorry, I only have one teacher in this life."

The words Qin Jian said indifferently made Bibi Dong very disappointed, but warmed Jian Douluo's heart.

"Neither husband and wife, nor master and disciple..."

Bibi Dong's gaze suddenly became indifferent: "Then you shall be the Pope's direct Guard Captain."

"Pope, that must not be!"

Below, Gui Mei suddenly interjected: "The Pope's direct Guard Captain has the duty of guarding the Pope at night. He is a Million-Year Soul Beast; we do not know his methods or thoughts. If he harbors ill intentions toward you..."

What kind of ill intentions... to push her down?

Qin Jian looked up at the sky, speechless.

"Ghost Elder's reminder is valid."

The Female Pope nodded, looked at Qin Jian, and said, "In this case, I need to take precautions against you. How about you let me inject my Spider Emperor Poison into your body?"

"Spider Emperor Poison?!"

Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo's expressions changed.

On the contrary, the people from Shrek Academy had no reaction at all; if one looked closely, one could see their eyes were full of amusement.

If they didn't know that this moment was critical, they would have been unable to stop themselves from laughing out loud.

"Spider Emperor Poison? That's fine."

Qin Jian's strange expression flashed and vanished, and he said with a serious face: "To put your mind at ease, that's no problem, but how do I get the antidote?"

Hearing him agree, Bibi Dong's red lips couldn't help but curl up again.

But she immediately restrained it and said indifferently: "The Spider Emperor Poison is not only harmless in daily life, but it can also promote your soul power cultivation. However, if you harbor malice toward me, the Spider Emperor Poison will spontaneously surge through your entire body, and you will be poisoned to death within a few breaths."

"Oh... then go ahead." Qin Jian said very calmly.

"Jian'er!"

Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but call out.

Qin Jian turned his head and smiled: "Ning Shu, don't worry. I have no malice toward the Pope, nothing will happen."

Bibi Dong's expression flickered; for some reason, she wanted to smile again...

This wicked Ten Thousand Year old monster knows how to pour soul-bewitching soup!

The people on the Shrek side kept their heads down tightly, fearing that a wrong expression would be detected by the Pope.

"Click, click, click..."

Amidst a few soft sounds, Bibi Dong underwent Martial Soul Possession, and several dark purple Spider Legs extended from her back.

Although it was an evil martial soul like the Death Spider Emperor, having cultivated to her level, it had long since reached a point where there was no distinction between good and evil.

Her martial soul was covered in dense golden patterns; it didn't look evil at all, but rather carried a bit of imperial aura.

"Do not resist. I won't actually poison you; it's just for the subordinates to see."

Bibi Dong's lips moved, and a faint voice quietly entered Qin Jian's ears.

Qin Jian was stunned, looked up, and saw Bibi Dong nod slightly, her red lips pursed, appearing somewhat embarrassed.

Is she the type of person who would be soft-hearted? Or has she taken a fancy to me?

Qin Jian always felt something was not quite right; in his impression, he had always treated this peerless Pope as a super difficult problem to overcome, never thinking it would be simple.

But if she hadn't taken a fancy to him, why would she be acting for others to see, while actually not harming him?

Qin Jian was a bit confused.

"Click, click, click..."

The Spider Legs had already reached over; Qin Jian had no time to think more and could only let the spikes of the Spider Legs pierce into his chest.

"Hum!"

The people below could clearly see strands of dark purple toxin flowing from the Spider Legs into Qin Jian's body.

But Qin Jian's expression was somewhat strange.

Because those toxins sent into his body didn't invade any other places at all, but were quickly absorbed back by the Spider Legs on the other side.

Relative to one releasing and one receiving, in reality, nothing remained inside Qin Jian's body.

He raised his head and looked at the beautiful Female Pope before him.

Could it be that her not wanting to poison him was actually sincere?

But before he could figure it out, he suddenly saw this peerless Pope's thin lips purse and slowly curl up, revealing a shy smile.

Heaven knows why Qin Jian felt this woman's smile was a bit shy at this moment; what the hell is shy, it is absolutely impossible for this woman to have such a thing!

"Hmm?"

Just as Qin Jian's attention was drawn by her smile, a purple light suddenly flashed quietly inside his body.

"There is poison entering my body!"

Qin Jian's expression remained unchanged, but he was screaming internally: "I knew this woman couldn't be that kind-hearted!"

He finally understood what kind of trick Bibi Dong was playing.

On one hand, she wanted to win him over, but on the other, she was worried she couldn't control him, so this woman had made preparations for both scenarios!

First, she showed goodwill to make him mistakenly believe that the poisoning was just an act, thereby gaining his favor.

Subsequently, it seemed she hadn't poisoned him, but she had used her beauty to make him lower his guard.

That's right, the woman's smile just now was her using her beauty, and then, while his attention was distracted, she had secretly poisoned him!

This poison was not much, just a few wisps, but it contained a hint of golden luster within the deep Purple, and the toxicity was worlds apart.

Even the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb could not completely purify it for a time, and could only block it outside his heart.

On the surface, Qin Jian appeared to be staring incessantly at Bibi Dong's peerless face, but in reality, his mind was observing his internal body, especially those toxins secretly trying to enter his heart.

"Hum!"

Seemingly provoked by the poison that could not be cleansed for the moment, the power of the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb suddenly underwent a strange change.

It no longer attempted to neutralize the Spider Emperor Poison, but instead split its power into six strands and merged into the soul bone!

"This... how is it merging with the soul bone again... is my Love Flower bone meant to harmonize a hundred flowers..."

Qin Jian still kept his facial expression unchanged, but he felt somewhat strange inside.

Because following the Lovesick Heartbroken Red, the Fragrant Silk Immortal Herb had also been absorbed by the soul bone, and it seemed to have produced an effect of immunity to all poisons.

The Spider Emperor Poison sent over by Bibi Dong was instantly assaulted by the red light of the soul bone and transformed into a part of himself.

Thus, Qin Jian let go of his resistance and allowed the Spider Emperor Poison to invade his heart; in this way, not only was there no harm, but it actually strengthened his own defenses, and it could also make Bibi Dong mistakenly believe the poisoning was successful.

Sure enough, the Female Pope opposite him smiled even more beautifully...
