Seeing Bibi Dong Again
Ye Chen's gaze fell on the delicate jade-like hand leaning on the door, slender and fair. Then, the curtain was lifted, and an incredibly beautiful woman suddenly appeared.
All eyes immediately gathered on the carriage. Although the guards of the Spirit Hall often saw Bibi Dong, they only observed from afar. Due to the Supreme Pontiff's status, they never had the opportunity to appreciate her up close.
The twenty or so Soul Masters, all at the Soul King level, appeared serious and tried to restrain themselves, but their sidelong glances betrayed them.
Because the person before them was too beautiful, incomparably so, to the point of suffocation.
The first thing that caught their eyes was her slender and fair legs, as smooth and tender as jade.
Bibi Dong was not too tall, but not short either. Her proportions were extremely perfect. She wore a fitted, brilliant, long golden dress adorned with over a hundred red, blue, and gold gems.
On her head, a nine-curved purple-gold crown sparkled radiantly, and in her hand was a sceptre about two meters long, studded with countless gems.
Her fair skin and near-perfect features made her stand out from the crowd.
Especially the invisible aura of nobility and sanctity she exuded, made people unable to resist the urge to bow and worship.
Elegant, noble, perfect—these words were not an exaggeration when describing her.
Bibi Dong, the Supreme Pontiff, the ruler of the Spirit Hall, and currently the most powerful woman on the entire Douluo Continent.
Several young Soul Masters bent their waists, their faces showing pain, some even had blood dripping from their noses, but their bodies remained straight.
As for Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, they remained calm. As Bibi Dong's confidants, they had naturally seen her many times.
Even Ye Chen, who was in the tree, showed a bit of embarrassment.
His gaze seemed dazed as he swallowed his saliva. He hadn't expected that in just a few hours, Bibi Dong would become so alluring.
Indeed, absence makes the heart grow fonder.
Bibi Dong walked gracefully, lifting her dress slightly to avoid getting it dirty, and slowly approached.
The twenty-odd disciples of the Martial Soul Hall immediately knelt down with one knee, respectfully bowing their heads and addressing her with a deep voice, "Greetings, Your Holiness!"
Bibidong looked at them expressionlessly and gestured for them to rise. The disciples of the Spirit Hall stood up in unison.
Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't kneel due to their higher status; they only slightly bowed in salute.
This was the Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, ruling over all below and standing above all!
The grand display was imposing, but it didn't intimidate Xiao Wu.
She still looked at Bibi Dong with a silly expression, her eyes showing a hint of unease and aversion. She didn't know why, but it was just a vague intuition, and women's intuition was always accurate.
The most unsettled was the tiger ridden by Xiao Wu. As the king of the forest, it didn't know why, but its body trembled, and its eyes showed fear.
Although the tiger's strength wasn't top-tier in the Star Dou Forest, it was still a dominant presence.
It couldn't understand why this human in front of it could exert such pressure!
Bibi Dong walked slowly to Xiao Wu's side.
She smiled while looking at the little girl in the white dress, with a gentle and warm expression.
Although she didn't understand why this little girl was so close to the tiger, as the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, Bibidong had the responsibility to help and protect all living beings; it was a principle followed by all Popes throughout history.
"Are you lost, little one? It's dangerous here. Come over quickly."
"Roar!" The white tiger couldn't hold back any longer when Bibidong approached. It took a step back, opened its bloody mouth, and roared at her, warning her to stay away!
"Hmph!" Bibi Dong sneered at the white tiger's actions. How could she allow such a low-level soul beast to challenge her? She raised her sleeve lightly, and a powerful and vigorous soul force swept towards the tiger like a giant wave.
Although the tiger weighed several hundred kilograms, it was instantly hit by the purple soul force and was flung out heavily, crashing straight into a huge tree nearby, breaking it in half with a crack.
The tiger lay on the ground, with black blood in its mouth. Although Xiao Wu, who was originally on its back, was thrown away due to inertia, her body was extremely agile. She flipped mid-air, dissipating all the force, and then landed steadily by kicking off the tree trunk.
Seeing the injured tiger, Xiao Wu caressed its fur with deep concern, while the tiger lay docilely in her arms like a child.
"It's just a soul beast. Why are you so worried?" Bibi Dong said disdainfully. She couldn't understand the actions of this little girl; they were simply too strange.
"You are not welcome here!" Xiao Wu spread her immature arms, blocking everyone in front of her. Her eyes were slightly red at the moment.
Though small, her gaze was resolute, surprising everyone present.
The words of the little girl left everyone stunned. How could a human little girl say such words? It was just too absurd.
Unless... Bibi Dong was taken aback and then a hint of curiosity flashed in her eyes. She turned to Ghost Douluo and sent a signal with her eyes.
Ghost Douluo, having followed Bibi Dong for so long, understood her intention with just one look.
He recited a mantra quietly, and a faint purple soul force began to surge around his body. Then, his hazel eyes turned completely black, pure black without a trace of white.
This weird gaze seemed to scan Xiao Wu from head to toe, seeing through her thoroughly.
"Hmm...?" Ghost Douluo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise when he suddenly found out, and then the strange light in his eyes flickered again. He carefully scrutinized Xiao Wu once more but eventually shook his head with a bit of helplessness.
Ghost Douluo whispered to Bibi Dong, "This is actually a transformed soul beast. She must have transformed not long ago."
Hearing Ghost Douluo's words, Bibi Dong's eyes showed a hint of complexity.
