Chapter 14: What Kind of Proper Transformed Soul Beast Has Nothing Better to Do Than Transform?

Hm?

Seeing Su Linfeng's slightly flushed little face, Bibi Dong could not help but frown. Is this the reaction a six-year-old child should have?

I just feel like something is wrong.

Bibi Dong looked Su Linfeng up and down with her bright eyes, as if wanting to find some flaws in him, and narrowed her eyes slightly: "I always feel that you don't look like a six-year-old child at all."

Uh...

I haven't been discovered, have I?

Have I been that obvious?

Su Linfeng froze on the spot; for these past six years, he had been working very hard to play the part of a child. If Bibi Dong discovered that he was Tao Zhizhu wearing a six-year-old body, she would probably strangle him the next second.

"I don't look like one?"

Su Linfeng's expression stiffened, and he forced himself to ask back: "Then where does Sister think I don't look like one?"

Bibi Dong was stumped by this question; if you asked her where he didn't look like one, she couldn't specifically say. In the end, with slightly reddened cheeks, she straightened her pajamas and waved her hand, pretending to be indifferent.

Forget it!

He's just a child, he will grow up sooner or later.

Perhaps she was just being too sensitive. A Spirit Beast is inherently different from a human; although they also gain intelligence after one hundred thousand years, he has at least lived for one hundred thousand years, so it seems justifiable that he is more mature than an ordinary human child.

With the answer in her heart.

Bibi Dong stopped dwelling on it, her expression returning to its former coldness as she looked at Su Linfeng: "Why did you come back?"

It sounded like an interrogation, and also like a reproach.

She had clearly endured great pressure to intentionally let Su Linfeng leave.

"Because school is out."

Su Linfeng looked at Bibi Dong, blinked his eyes and said: "I'm not like Hu Liena and the others who live at the academy; of course I have to come home when school is out."

"Home?"

The corners of Bibi Dong's eyes twitched twice, and her gaze became somewhat dazed as she looked at Su Linfeng.

She thought to herself, this guy wouldn't really think of this place as his home, would he? Do you know that you are a one-hundred-thousand-year Transformed Soul Beast, and the entire Spirit Hall, including her, wants your Spirit Ring and soul bone?

Although that was the fact, a warmth rose in Bibi Dong's heart at this moment.

He is still just a child after all.

After a long while.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath before speaking again: "Then do you know that once your identity is exposed, the entire Spirit Hall, and even the Spirit Masters of the entire continent, will want to take your life?"

Bibi Dong did not hide it either, feeling it was necessary to tell him about his current situation.

Right now.

The only ones who knew Su Linfeng's identity were Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue, and her. Although his martial soul could mask his own Spirit Beast aura, it could not fully guarantee that he wouldn't be exposed one day.

Not to mention that Qian Xunji had always been coveting Su Linfeng's one-hundred-thousand-year soul bone, even Bibi Dong herself could not completely resist such a temptation.

"But the evil energy in Sister's body still needs treatment, doesn't it?"

Su Linfeng grinned, "Besides, could Sister bear to eat me?"

Bibi Dong: "You—"

Leave.

Now is not the time.

After all, staying here was something he had decided upon after careful consideration.

Su Linfeng is not stupid; he can see the changes in Bibi Dong. As long as he keeps an eye on Qian Xunji, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

"You talk too much nonsense. Do you think I can't bear to eat you?"

Bibi Dong completely lost her temper now, but she still said coldly: "You had better remember this: even in the Spirit Hall, do not trust anyone except me, and never expose your true identity."

"Oh, I know."

Su Linfeng smiled and nodded, "Then Sister, let's start our dual cultivation now."

Bibi Dong was slightly stunned: "Start what?"

"Cultivating together, otherwise how can I help you control the Killing God Domain."

"You little brat, you'd better change how you express yourself in the future. What are you doing again? Do you believe I'll chop your claws off?"

"..."

The next day.

When Su Linfeng woke up, Bibi Dong's figure was gone again. Fortunately, he was already used to it.

If she's not here, she's not here. He prepared to get something to eat himself and then go to school.

Rolling out of bed, Su Linfeng stretched, his bones cracking and popping all over his body, a feeling of comfort instantly washing over him.

"You're awake."

Just then, Bibi Dong pushed the door open and entered, carrying the breakfast she had just made, "Eat your meal first."

Breakfast?

She made it?

Su Linfeng sat at the dining table and began to wolf it down. After all, when Bibi Dong raised children in the past, he and Qian Renxue were basically the type to eat one meal and starve for three, or eat three meals and starve for seven.

Bibi Dong: "Slow down, no one is fighting you for it."

"Mmm, delicious."

Su Linfeng said while eating: "We tossed and turned seven times last night, I'm actually quite hungry now."

Bibi Dong: "..."

What tossed and turned seven times?

No.

Who taught you to speak like that?

Bibi Dong's eyes widened to be even rounder than copper bells, thinking to herself, what on earth happened in the three years she was away?

Indeed.

Last night, in order to help Bibi Dong suppress the Killing God Domain, Su Linfeng had exhausted his soul power seven times, but this cycle of consumption and recovery also brought him immense benefits; the replacement of soul power was not only forging his sinews and bones, but even subtly transforming his body.

It was simply as if he had activated a cheat.

Although it dragged down his cultivation speed, Su Linfeng did not mind; soul power could be slowed, but the foundation must be laid well.

Whether it be a Spirit Master or a Spirit Beast, soul power is only a standard of strength, while physical constitution is the key that determines the upper limit of soul power; Bibi Dong is the most vivid example—if her constitution were not different from ordinary people, how could she have borne Twin Martial Souls?

Take those Ten-thousand-year Spirit Beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest, for instance; those with weak constitutions like Blue Silver Grass or rabbits can only choose to transform into human form before reaching the ten-thousand-year great tribulation, unlike those Fierce Beasts that dare to face the tribulation head-on—otherwise, what decent Spirit Beast would transform into a human for no reason!

Of course, Su Linfeng is just an exception.

After eating his fill.

Su Linfeng nimbly put down his bowl and chopsticks, greeted Bibi Dong, and went to school.

Wuhun Academy.

It sounds high-end and sophisticated, but in reality, it is entirely a commoner academy.

Most children, like Hu Liena, come from Spirit Village; the academy provides them with free room and board, though there are also children born and raised in Wuhun City who, like Su Linfeng, commute.

At this moment, many figures of boys and girls had already appeared on the academy road, and Su Linfeng was naturally among them.

Su Linfeng is a celebrity now; after yesterday's battle, almost the entire academy knows of his existence, and many classmates on the road took the initiative to greet him.

"Su Linfeng!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from behind.

Looking back, it was indeed Zhang Ping from the Golden Generation, and standing beside her was a tall and burly young man.

The man looked to be twenty-five or twenty-six, and his eyes actually bore a slight resemblance to Zhang Ping's, which, at first glance, gave Su Linfeng a truly familiar feeling.

But he just couldn't recall who it was.

"Zhang Ping, you commute too?" Su Linfeng asked with a smile, though his gaze remained fixed on the young man.

"My home is right here in Wuhun City."

Zhang Ping giggled, followed Su Linfeng's gaze to look at the young man, and then hurriedly explained: "Don't misunderstand, I come to the academy by myself every day; he is my uncle Lu'erdi'ala, who is also a teacher at the academy, responsible for the monthly student trial missions."

"When he doesn't have classes, my uncle doesn't usually come to the academy."

"Uh."

Su Linfeng grinned in a way that was awkward but still polite, thinking to himself, why the rush to explain?

Are you afraid of being mistaken for a daddy's girl?

That is truly hurtful.
