A Spider and an Angel

"What are you doing!? His way of reaching Godhood is almost impossible! If you take my way then you become one in just a few years! 

And once you are one, you can do whatever you want with him!" Bibi Dong heard an angry voice of a familiar goddess in her head.

This was the Rakshasa Goddess. Something she ignored…

'Your methods means later, if I take his then the amount of time I can spend with him increases. Even if it means spending a long time to become a Goddess… this means I can spend that time with him.'

When she said that the Goddess growled with an angry and annoyed tone.

"Then you are useless to me! I will find a more suitable inheritor!"

'Do whatever you want to do. I don't care.'

After saying that the presence of the Rakshasa Goddess was gone and the spider woman released a relieved sigh. She can now enjoy her time with the Prince in peace.

Her eyes ended up on him as she saw him clap his hands and slowly spread them apart, that moment blinding golden light manifested between his hands.

'Ah, the Lotus flower of Comprehension. This is the technique which allows him to improve other people's comprehension. Truly fascinating ability.' Just thinking about this makes her understand that there are quite simply no limits to what one can do with this. This is another reason why she decided to accept this.

Well, one of those smaller perks as her main and true reason was to see him teach her all about his things. Which in her eyes is many times more superior to THAT Man. The very same man who abandoned her.

Though a small smile appeared on her lips from what she knows about this one… this one would never abandon her. No… from what she knows… he even took a Great Beast as his own. So, she is sure that the moment he sees her as his he will destroy anything in his path to make sure she is fine.

'Hmm…now that I think about this…' For a few moments, her mind wandered to her early days…

Now that her mind isn't blinded by the corrupting darkness of Rakshasa she can see how HIS theories are a bunch of mundane, obvious things! Back then when she was a girl she saw them as impressive but now as she understands things better than are nothing more than casual tricks…

It's like saying that a river flows because it has a current… that like most obvious thing ever. 

'And he used me to get into the Spirit Hall library! Damn him tricking me like this!!!' 

"Umm…"

"Hmm? Apologies I was in deep thought. That method has cleared my mind."

"Sure thing. I still don't know if I should call you the Supreme Pontiff…or…"

"Call me by my name, Bibi Dong and in public use my title." She said with a sly smile. 

Xue Long just rolled his eyes internally, seeing how she is 'breaking walls' in any way she can.

"Very well. Here is the Lotus Flower." As he said that he handed over the flower to her. The moment it touched her fingers it exploded into golden particles which merged with her very being.

That moment she got a very vivid imagines of this meditation and the meaning behind it. the purpose of it. This includes the first stage which she already knows off and in a sense has mastered it and then the second one. 

In a sense, she has a road which already has been passed by someone to walk through. Which means she has a fast-track route. 

Which made her a little bit…touched in a sense. He is not only teaching but helping her as well.

Sure enough, she started to practise it.

~~~

Xue Long looked at Bibi Dong trying to advance into the second stage of Lotus Meditation.

He could see that she is starting to frown more and more as time went by. The Prince can beat that the lotus art is pulling all those dark things of hers and makes her face it. From devouring Qian Xunji to her dislike and hate towards Qian Renxue to her hate being forced to be Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.

"""My Prince"""

Three voices said at the same time. He turned around and saw Na'er, Hu Liena and his newest addition Huo Wu. His fire girl's life has completely turned around after seeing her grandfather completely being destroyed and leaving her behind like this.

In other words, it took her down from her high horse and then his two maid girls proceed to start training her. Slowly by slowly, they chipped away at her pride and turned it towards a different direction.

This made her extremely respectful towards him, and she properly is listening to him. Though there are still some fiery issues when she gets angry which is the consequence of her Fire Shadow Martial Spirit. Something which is a work in progress.

"How was the training?" He asked his maids. Not looking at the bandaged wounds of the fire girl of his.

"It was satisfactory. But it could be better." 

In other words, it's going to be harder next time. Which is what he has been hearing for the past few days.

"I see."

"....um…if I may? Who is she? Her cultivation is enormous…" Na'er asked with curious weariness as she looked at the woman meditating in the distance.

"The Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall." 

***Gulp***

"...even she wants to learn from you…" Hu Liena said that as her body for a second got wobbly on her feet. 

This means that her Prince abilities are so good that even people from the very top of this world want to learn.

"Yes. Since you three finished with your training you can return and rest for a few hours."

All three of them bowed before walking towards the main building of the academy.

'Let's see how far you go with my initial help.' Xue Long curiously looked at Bibi Dong before returning to his cultivation.

Being in 80's Rank makes his cultivation quite 'slow' even with Heaven and Earth Meditation. 

~~~~~~Spirit Hall~~~~~~

Outside the Spirit Hall City in quite an open area there were two quite large angel-like beings facing each other. One was quite smaller than the other one. Though it was still giant compared to regular person size.

The smaller one lifted her hands and made a grabbing motion. In her hands a sword from pure golden energy manifested.

Moments later blue serpentine dragon of pure energy coiled around the blade. 

Once the dragon roared the angelic being lowered the golden blade and swung it at the bigger angelic being.

"Blue Dragon Devouring the Clouds!"

The dragon launched from the sword and slammed into the angel. It struggle for a bit before it was destroyed with pure overwhelming power.

Though… the angel did take a step back when it was hit.

The moment the combat has ended the large angel beings disappeared and instead revealed Qian Renxue and her Grandfather Qian Daoliu. The old angel was testing out his daughter who was more than halfway towards Rank 80.

"I did it! I did it! I pushed you back grandpa!!!" Qian Renxue said that while slightly jumping up and down.

"Hahaha. Well, the attack was more than I have expected! That martial arts move is very powerful." 

"Yes, it is! Long taught me a couple of months back! He said I should have one or two finishing moves of my own!" The girl said that quite proudly. 

"I see…" 

For second Qian Daoliu sweatdropped, where 'normal' people give each other some sort of gifts his granddaughter instead looks for ways to blow up mountains and learn some other crazy stuff…

And her Fiance is more than happy to teach her to do that…

'Well as long as she is happy… I can ignore this…' 

"On another note. You are way more powerful than any regular Spirit Saint." He addressed her unusually high fighting prowess its even more powerful than usual Seraphim should have.

"This is because Long taught me Great Arthan's Meditation. It cultivates one's Martial arts and because I have been absorbing Heaven and Earth energies." She said that with another proud look.

"Have you wondered what is your current fighting strength?" 

For a few seconds, she had thoughtful look before she shrugged with no care. 

This made him smile quite a bit. She stopped caring about her strength which made him quite a bit happy. Before her engagement, she was very much obsessed with her strength. But now that is gone and she is living a far more carefree life.

The girl doesn't even care much that she was able to push True Body Avatar of Limited Douluo back.

The only reason she was happy was because she was able to push him back with a move she learned from her Fiance nothing more nothing less.

"I would say that no Spirit Douluo is your match… you might as well be strong enough to face against early Titled Douluo." The moment he said that to her her eyes slightly widened before she smugly smiled for a bit.

"Oh, so I am quite strong." 

Her grandpa expected a bigger reaction that she can face the world strongest at the age of 13… however she only had a casual interest in that…

"You don't look that impressed…"

"Because it's nothing impressive… I would be happier if I can pass through the boundaries between stages in the meditation techniques… cultivation… it just comes naturally to me now. I simply know that I will be strong. But is these meditation techniques and that understanding you gain each time you break through… you simply know you are closer to that ultimate apex." She said that with a soft voice as she recalled her experiences.

"...I see… it appears I have underestimated how powerful they are."

Qian Renxue softly snorted. She knows the feeling. At first, it was for her not to be behind those maids. But when she mastered the second stage she felt a shift in herself… it's like… she walked out of the mist and looked at the huge mountain in front of her. This is where she understood how grand this was.

And her fiance is more than halfway in that mountain walking or even soaring by this point to the peak.

"I did too… sad I can't teach the method…BUT! I can saturate the Spirit Hall with Heaven and Earth energy!"

The old Angel slightly got caught by surprise when he heard that!

"You can do it too?"

He was surprised that she reached this point where she can do it!

"... I can… to some degree… " she said with a small blush. Her grandpa expected the cultivation domain and stuff like that! But, she only recently grasped the basics of Heaven and Earth!

"Oh. Well, even a little bit helps. I have heard these energies help to break the bottlenecks. Most of the Worships are at the bottlenecks as it is." Qian Daoliu said with a nod.

"It does… Uncle Snake has been freeloading on Long's Martial Field for a few years now." The blonde angel girl said with a huff. 

*Snort*

~~~~~~Martial Field in The Imperial Academy~~~~~~

*Gasp*

Bibi Dong gasped hard as sweat was pouring down her forehead. She opened her eyes and looked at her hand.

Her whole hand was shaking like she just punched something extra hard and now it's shaking from pain.

"You are around halfway in Stage two." She heard Xue Long speak in front of him.

The spider woman's eyes went to him as she saw him meditating, he was surrounded by a golden aura and there was a lotus flower disc surrounding the place where he was sitting. He was radiating energy she had never seen before.

"Halfway… halfway!? This is torture…" She said with an annoyed and pained tone. 

"It's torture because the meditation is forcing you face to face your demons. Beat and subjugate them. How are you going to be a Goddess when your past is haunting you?"

She had thoughtful look before calming herself down and trying it again…
