Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I am the White Emperor of Heaven

Chapter 328 Yu Xiaogang Requests an Audience

The moment the knock sounded, Bibi Dong's heart tightened, and she looked towards the door.

At the same time, she suddenly pulled her hand away from Dai Chengfeng's grasp!

Dai Chengfeng didn't stop him at all, and naturally let go of his fingers, also looking towards the door.

"Who?"

Bibi Dong's cool voice rang out, her tone tinged with impatience, as if she was 'unhappy' because she had been disturbed.

The voice outside the door was respectful and clear: "Your Holiness, it is I."

It's the month of the pass.

"Yue Guan? Come in."

"Yes."

The door slid open silently, and the graceful Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan stepped into the brightly lit restaurant.

However, when he saw two people sitting at the table, one of whom was not Hu Liena but Dai Chengfeng, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

It seems we'll have to be even more careful around this Prince Dai Chengfeng from now on!
As Yue Guan thought to herself, she respectfully bowed to Bibi Dong, who was seated at the head of the table: "Your Majesty."

"what's the matter?"

Bibi Dong's voice regained its usual noble quality.

“Your Majesty,” Yue Guan bowed slightly, “Yu Xiaogang of Shrek Academy… requests an audience.”

"Yu Xiaogang?"

For a moment, Dai Chengfeng paused almost imperceptibly in his eating, and his fingers tightened around the napkin.

A shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes, but he quickly returned to normal.

The moment Bibi Dong heard that name, a complex look flashed in her eyes. Almost subconsciously, she glanced quickly at Dai Chengfeng beside her out of the corner of her eye.

She quickly looked away and turned to Yue Guan again. "What does he want with me?"

"His Holiness the Pope... is actually asking Yu Xiaogang why he came?"

Upon hearing this, Yue Guan looked at Bibi Dong with some surprise.

In the past, whenever Bibi Dong heard the name Yu Xiaogang, she would never ask him what he wanted to see her for, but would summon him without hesitation.

He and Gui Mei had speculated countless times in private about the relationship between Bibi Dong and that so-called "master." Although they still couldn't guess what the relationship was between Bibi Dong, the Pope, and Yu Xiaogang, this useless master, they could see that Bibi Dong treated him specially.

But now...

When Bibi Dong heard that Yu Xiaogang wanted to see her, she surprisingly asked him what he wanted to see her about.

Yue Guan pondered this in her heart, but outwardly shook her head. "Yu Xiaogang... he didn't explain his purpose, so I don't know either. What do you think... should we meet him?"

Bibi Dong tapped her fingertips lightly twice on the smooth tabletop, then fell into a brief silence.

She finally nodded. "Let him wait in the Papal Palace."

"Yes!"

Yue Guan bowed again and turned to leave without hesitation.

The gate closed again, temporarily isolating the outside world.

An eerie silence fell over the restaurant once again.

Dai Chengfeng maintained the same posture of holding the napkin, his eyelids lowered, making his expression unreadable.

Bibi Dong took a small breath, seemingly trying to suppress her chaotic thoughts and the unpleasantness of being disturbed.

She pushed back the chair and prepared to get up.

“Chengfeng, you eat by yourself,” her voice regained some warmth, but the complexity had not completely faded. “I’m going to see Yu Xiaogang and see what he wants from me.”

However, she had just stood up...

A slightly cool hand, extremely powerful and even with an undeniable sense of control, suddenly grabbed her fair wrist, which was resting on the edge of the table!

The force was just right, preventing her from getting up and pinning her firmly to the chair. Dai Chengfeng had turned his face away at some point, and his eyes, which always carried a gentle smile, were now deep and unfathomable.

"Eat with me."

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried an unprecedented level of power.

Bibi Dong's heart tightened suddenly.

She looked into Dai Chengfeng's eyes, and those eyes, now devoid of any boyish gentleness or pretense, revealed a resoluteness belonging to a grown man that she had never seen before.

"Dai Chengfeng...what does he know?"

But soon, Bibi Dong shook her head slightly.

After all, her affair with Yu Xiaogang had become a secret after she handled it, and Dai Chengfeng shouldn't have known about it.

Bibi Dong stood there, silent.

Dai Chengfeng didn't urge him, but he didn't let go either.

He simply stared at Bibi Dong quietly and stubbornly, looking into her beautiful eyes.

After a long few breaths.

Bibi Dong gently bit her lower lip, but ultimately did not forcefully break free from Dai Chengfeng's grasp on her wrist, nor did she continue to get up.

A barely audible sigh escaped her lips, and she slowly sat back down, her voice carrying a hint of compromise that even she herself didn't realize:
"All right."

Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng finally managed a faint smile.

He released Bibi Dong's wrist. "Teacher, try this truffle foie gras. It will taste much worse when it's cold."

As if nothing had happened, Dai Chengfeng's voice returned to the gentle tone of a docile disciple. He calmly picked up a piece of delicate foie gras and placed it into the almost untouched empty plate in front of Bibi Dong, his movements natural.

Bibi Dong looked at the food on the plate, then at Dai Chengfeng's profile, who had already lowered his eyes and begun to chew slowly, seemingly as if everything was normal.

Feeling the lingering warmth on his wrist, he thought, "This disciple... is truly becoming increasingly difficult to control."

But in the end, Bibi Dong said nothing, but picked up her chopsticks and put the piece of foie gras into her mouth.

Although the food in her mouth had a delicate texture, her mind was not on the food at all. Instead, she was silently pondering herself and Dai Chengfeng's unusual behavior...

The large restaurant fell silent again, with only the faint sounds of chewing and the occasional clinking of cutlery.

The Pope of the Spirit Hall and his "obedient" disciple sat silently facing each other, enjoying the exquisite dinner on the table.

Finally, Dai Chengfeng seemed satisfied and said, "Teacher, I'm full."

"Then I'll take my leave?"

Bibi Dong put down her knife and fork, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, be careful on the road."

Dai Chengfeng smiled slightly, "What danger could there be in this Spirit Hall?"

After saying that, Dai Chengfeng walked out of the restaurant.

Above the horizon, the bright moon hangs high, and a gentle breeze carries the chirping of cicadas.

As Dai Chengfeng stepped out of the restaurant, feeling the slight chill of the night, his smile vanished, and his eyes turned cold. "Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang... you really can't just stay obedient and completely avoid Bibi Dong..."

"In that case!"

Although Dai Chengfeng knew that Yu Xiaogang and Bibi Dong could almost never have a romantic relationship again.

It's likely that Yu Xiaogang is here to discuss serious matters.

But he still felt unwell.

For a moment, Dai Chengfeng looked at the Soul Shaping Grass in his storage soul guide ring, and then thought of the address Liu Erlong had told him about her residence in Wuhun City before they parted ways.

"I originally planned to leave Liu Erlong hanging for a few more days to make her even more anxious, but now it seems..."

"The plan needs to be finalized as soon as possible!"

Dai Chengfeng shook his head, flicked his sleeve, and stopped worrying about it.
