Chapter 21: Small Horse Pulling a Large Cart: Feeling Powerless

"Uh..."

Su Linfeng moved to the side powerlessly, then habitually placed his hands on her, "Sister, I need to sleep to recover my soul power; I'll do it again when I wake up."

As he spoke.

Su Linfeng rubbed against Bibi Dong's armpit in exhaustion, then found a comfortable position and buried his head to sleep.

Bibi Dong: "..."

You little bastard!

Bibi Dong shuddered all over, wanting to kick Su Linfeng away.

Sleep and do it again, my foot...

What has this turned into?

Besides, she had clearly agreed to completely break him of this bad habit he'd brought from childhood, yet he hadn't changed a bit.

However, just as Bibi Dong raised her hand, when she saw Su Linfeng's face, pale as wax paper, her raised hand stopped dead in mid-air.

He fell asleep just like that?

She couldn't bear it.

And she felt a pang of heartache.

After all, he was only six years old, and his soul power was no more than level twenty-one; it was truly hard on him to suppress the vast soul power within her body.

A debt of karma!

A debt of karma indeed!

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, thinking to herself that this guy was simply a test sent to her by the heavens; he really made one love him, hate him, and want to devour him all at once.

After a long while.

Bibi Dong slowly lowered her raised hand, pulled up the quilt to cover Su Linfeng, sighed, and slowly closed her eyes, beginning to recover her consumed mental energy.

Time passed, and the moon hung high in the sky.

Feeling the familiar warm current quietly entering her body and mental world once again, Bibi Dong couldn't help but wake up faintly.

Looking up, she saw none other than Su Linfeng.

"You're awake, Sister. I've already recovered."

Su Linfeng chuckled, "Now I'll continue helping you refine the evil power within your body."

"You recovered so quickly?"

Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised by Su Linfeng's recovery speed, thinking to herself that a Spirit Beast is a Spirit Beast; it was even more powerful than her own recovery as a Spirit Douluo.

In fact, Bibi Dong did not know.

This was actually the Immortal Body talent of the Three-Legged Golden Crow, similar to a Phoenix's rebirth from fire; as long as the Sun True Fire was not extinguished, it would possess the ability to recover rapidly. This recovery speed was something not even a Title Douluo or Peak Douluo could match, let alone a Spirit Douluo.

"What's the use of fast recovery? It's a pity my soul power is too little."

Su Linfeng said with some regret: "If I could recover my hundred-thousand-year cultivation now, it would be much easier to help Sister refine the evil energy. Right now, it feels like the old man moving the mountains; there's no hope in sight for another ten or eight years."

It was true.

Bibi Dong also understood the vast disparity in their soul power; the best solution was to have Su Linfeng intensify his cultivation to increase his strength.

Her Killing God Domain often went out of control, and that evil energy frequently invaded her mental world. Su Linfeng was the only antidote, yet he had to spend most of his time helping her suppress the aura, leaving him no time to cultivate.

Thinking of this.

Bibi Dong nodded and also mused: "If only there were a way for you to rapidly increase your soul power."

"Rapidly increase soul power?"

The words woke the dreamer; Su Linfeng was startled as if he had thought of something, "I think I've thought of a way."

"What way?"

Bibi Dong frowned, thinking to herself that Su Linfeng wouldn't be thinking of something crooked or evil, would he?

It was true that there were ways for Spirit Masters to rapidly increase soul power.

Like the evil Spirit Masters that the Spirit Hall had been suppressing for years, they usually relied on devouring soul power, Spirit Rings, mental energy, flesh and blood, souls, and martial souls to cultivate, thereby gaining the ability to rapidly increase their soul power.

Just like the evil thoughts within her own body, one wrong step would lead to an irredeemable abyss.

She would also become the most terrifying evil Spirit Master on the entire Douluo Continent.

Therefore, Bibi Dong would never allow Su Linfeng to take shortcuts to help her, so she spoke up to warn him: "Spirit Master cultivation requires a step-by-step approach; do not attempt to find shortcuts. Since you have already taken human form, you must cultivate according to the cultivation methods of human Spirit Masters."

"If you take a shortcut that damages yourself just for my sake, that is absolutely not allowed."

"Otherwise, I would rather be consumed by my evil thoughts."

Su Linfeng stared blankly at Bibi Dong, thinking to himself, is she overthinking things?

However, it was rare for him to see Bibi Dong so serious.

Bibi Dong's personality was complex and multifaceted, with cold-blooded ruthlessness being the most prominent; she would not change any self-serving conditions for the sake of any emotional factors.

Yet now, she had actually started to learn to worry about him?

A hallucination, or was this the first time ever?

Could it be that Bibi Dong's personality had changed?

Of course, Su Linfeng wasn't thinking of any evil paths; the method he thought of to rapidly increase soul power was the Immortal Herb inside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest.

According to the current timeline, it was fourteen years before Dugu Bo and Tang San met; the Spirit Hall should not have started hunting down Dugu Bo yet, as that was something that happened after Bibi Dong succeeded as Pope.

After all, when Yue Guan intercepted and killed Tang San, he was recognized by Dugu Bo, who almost revealed that the mastermind behind him was Bibi Dong, so the hunt for Dugu Bo did not happen during the era of Qian Xunji.

Instead, it happened after Bibi Dong turned dark and took control of the Spirit Hall, implementing a hegemonic strategy of "those who submit prosper, those who resist perish," with the primary targets being wild Douluo like Dugu Bo who did not attach themselves to the Spirit Hall.

Perhaps Dugu Bo hadn't even broken through to Title Douluo yet.

"Hmph!"

Facing Su Linfeng's slightly distracted gaze, Bibi Dong hurriedly averted her eyes and explained somewhat unnaturally: "Don't look at me with that kind of gaze."

"You had best not harbor any illusions; I am not worrying about you, I am merely afraid that if you go astray, you will be of no use to me."

"When that time comes, I will eat you without the slightest hesitation!"

Who asked you?

Why are you explaining so much for no reason?

Su Linfeng smiled without a word, thinking to himself that when it came to being stubborn and saving face, Bibi Dong never changed at all.

Eat, eat, eat.

All you know how to do is use eating to scare people every single day.

Just wait until later, I'll let you eat your fill!

No, that's not right.

Why did that sound a bit off? In truth, what he meant to say was that after more time had passed, he would see if she could still bear to eat him.

"Mmhmm~"

Just then, Bibi Dong could not help but let out a soft moan, and with her brows tightly furrowed, she looked down at Su Linfeng's hands, "You little bastard, you're still squeezing..."

Before she could finish her scolding, she discovered something unusual; the flame soul power was still burning fiercely on her chest, yet Su Linfeng's body was uncontrollably trembling, his face showing signs of pain, and his brows were knitted together.

Bibi Dong said in alarm, "Lin Feng, what is wrong with you?"

"Such a powerful sense of oppression!"

Su Linfeng was also shaken to his core at this moment; he felt an extremely powerful sense of oppression surging out from within Bibi Dong, as if it were going to crush him into pieces.

"Is it a backlash from your soul power?"

Bibi Dong said nervously, "Stop quickly!"

Stop?

It was already too late!

Bibi Dong had intended to push Su Linfeng away directly, but she discovered that she could not move, and even her spiritual power had been locked down.

At this moment, Bibi Dong could clearly feel strands of terrifying purple aura appearing in her spiritual world, flowing in reverse toward the other party along the soul power flames that Su Linfeng was channeling.

Her body was like a bridge constructed between her and Su Linfeng.

Very quickly.

Streaks of purple aura overflowed from within his body, winding like swimming dragons toward Su Linfeng's arms, shoulders, and even his entire body.

The moment the purple aura mass appeared, the space around the entire room seemed to distort, and the pressure descended like a giant wave, as if even the air were struggling and gasping under its weight.

Seeking recommendations, seeking favorites, seeking good reviews, seeking everything.
