Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 403 The Girl Next Door Is Growing Up

"Old Ghost, this is bad! Did they find out what we just did?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo glanced at the entrance of the Papal Palace and saw that the two guardian knights outside had just pulled their heads back in and were now standing solemnly on either side of the gate.

"It's all over, it's all over..."

Now that Chrysanthemum Douluo saw the gatekeeper peeking, he realized that his dancing with Ghost Douluo had been seen. If word got out, he and Ghost Douluo would definitely be ridiculed by other powerful figures.

"Yue Guan, what are you worried about? The tune Young Master Ye played just now even affected us. Those two guards at the door are only Soul King level. Do you think they weren't affected?"

Ghost Douluo reminded his old friend not to worry, then, preoccupied with his own business, went to his desk and began to examine various memorials.

"Did you two see anything just now?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo flashed to the door and asked the two guards a question.

"Elder Qibingju, we just heard a beautiful melody coming from the hall, and then we entered a beautiful illusion. We don't know what happened."

The gatekeeper reported truthfully to Ju Douluo, saying that, to be honest, they were still thinking about hearing that cheerful tune again.

"Oh! That's Young Master Ye demonstrating his self-created soul skill to us."

After hearing this, Chrysanthemum Douluo breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the guards outside hadn't seen him dancing with Ghost Douluo. Otherwise, where would he put his face in the future?

……

On the other side, when Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen returned to the gate of their manor, they found a very beautiful young girl with several maids cleaning the manor.

"Miss, when will His Holiness the Pope return?"

"I don't know either. I haven't seen the teacher for several months. Senior Sister and Brother Chen went to Seagod Island almost four years ago. I wonder how they are doing?"

"Miss, your eyes light up and sparkle whenever you talk about that young master Ye. Do you like him? Hehehe..."

"Ah! What are you saying? Brother Chen is my great benefactor."

"Miss, why are you blushing? Hehehe..."

At that moment, the beautiful young woman was cleaning while chatting with several maids, and cheerful laughter could be heard from time to time.

This beautiful young woman is Jin Xiuzhu, Bibi Dong's little apprentice. Now that Bibi Dong and Hu Liena are not at home, she often returns from the Spirit Hall Academy and brings a group of maids to clean the manor spotlessly.

"cough…"

Bibi Dong coughed once, then led Ye Liangchen into the manor.

"Ah...! Teacher...? Brother Chen?"

"Am I dreaming?"

When Jin Xiuzhu saw Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen enter the manor, the broom in her hand fell to the ground, and then she ran happily towards the two of them.

Watching Jin Xiuzhu run towards him, her breasts were like a raging torrent. Ye Liangchen sighed inwardly: "The girl next door is growing up!"

"Greetings to the Pope, greetings to Young Master Ye."

Several maids immediately knelt on the ground and bowed to Bibi Dong and Ye Liangchen.

"Ladies, get up quickly."

Ye Liangchen waved his hand and used his soul power to help the eight maids in front of him up.

"Thank you, young master."

Ye Liangchen helped the maids up, their faces instantly flushing red. Their hearts pounded, and their eyes shone with adoration and infatuation. At that moment, the maids exclaimed in unison: Young Master Ye is so handsome! So gentle, so elegant! We really want to be close to him!

Bibi Dong's maids were all around 20 years old and were also Soul Masters, but their strength was not high; they were all Great Soul Masters. Because of their sweet appearance, tall figures, and the fact that they were orphans adopted by the Spirit Hall, they were chosen by Bibi Dong to be her maids.

"You guys go out first."

Bibi Dong took a look at the expressions on the faces of the maids, and then told them to leave the manor first. Since her godson had arrived, she no longer needed these maids to serve her, so as not to let these girls keep being infatuated.

"Yes, Your Holiness the Pope."

The maids respectfully accepted the order and returned to their respective quarters. Although they all longed to stay and serve this young master Ye, they dared not disobey the Pope's command.

"Xiuzhu, come here, let your teacher give you a hug."

Bibi Dong opened her arms and hugged her little apprentice.

"teacher,…"

Holding Bibi Dong in her arms, Kim Soo-joo felt incredibly happy.

"It's been years since I last saw her. I never imagined that Xiuzhu had grown into such a beautiful young woman. I almost didn't recognize her."

Looking at Jin Xiuzhu now, Ye Liangchen was amazed by the changes. She had willow-leaf eyebrows, cherry lips, and a slightly chubby face with a blush that made her look adorable. Her big, bright eyes seemed to speak volumes. Her tall figure, coupled with her curvaceous body, exuded youthful energy that made people feel very comfortable.

This girl's appearance is second only to Hu Liena, and she can be considered a rare beauty. It has to be said that there seem to be no ugly female soul masters in this world, except for Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, of course.

"Xiao Chen! What do you think? Isn't my little apprentice beautiful?"

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Liangchen with a smile, a hint of pride on her face.

"Of course it'll be beautiful!"

Ye Liangchen nodded, marveling at how fast time flies; in the blink of an eye, this little girl is already an adult.

"Brother Chen, you're getting more and more handsome."

After being praised by Ye Liangchen, Jin Xiuzhu's face turned red instantly. She then immediately praised him back, which is called reciprocity.

The little girl would never forget Ye Liangchen's kindness. If this extraordinary young man hadn't passed through Emperor Soul Village back then, she would never have become the disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall.

"You have such a sweet tongue. Here, I'll give you a soul bone as a reward."

Ye Liangchen sensed that the little girl was already a high-level Soul Master, and her cultivation speed was truly terrifying. So he took out the golden eagle torso soul bone that Ye Lingling had replaced from his soul tool and gave it to the little girl.

"Ah! Brother Chen, I... I can't take your soul bone."

When Jin Xiuzhu saw that Ye Liangchen had actually given her such a precious treasure, she was stunned. She quickly realized what was happening and immediately shook her head in refusal, not daring to take the soul bone.

"This is just a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone. In your brother Chen's eyes, it's just a broken stone."

"Xiuzhu, please accept it."

Bibi Dong reached out and took the soul bone from Ye Liangchen, then placed it in her little apprentice's hand. If she hadn't taken the initiative, the little girl wouldn't have dared to take it.

"Teacher, is this Brother Chen's treasure?"

Jin Xiuzhu was completely numb. Such a precious soul bone had been given to her just like that. How could she repay Brother Chen's kindness? Although she was quite beautiful, she was still a little bit inferior to the beautiful ladies around Brother Chen. She wondered if Brother Chen would like it. If he did, she would be very willing.

At this moment, Kim Soo-joo was already fantasizing in her mind, a shy expression appearing on her face.

"Sister Xiuzhu, this is a golden eagle torso bone from 23000 years ago, which has the ability to fly."

"You should absorb it quickly! Just think of it as a gift from your teacher, and don't feel guilty about it."

Ye Liangchen rubbed Jin Xiuzhu's head, urging her to absorb the soul bone quickly.

"A 23000-year-old golden eagle skeleton? That looks like the soul bone you gave Ye Lingling before, doesn't it?"

Upon hearing about the Golden Eagle's torso bone, Bibi Dong immediately thought of the origin of this soul bone, because she knew that Ye Liangchen's fourth soul came from a 23000-year-old Golden Eagle soul ring, and he also obtained a soul bone. Later, the little guy gave this soul bone to Ye Lingling.

"You're right, this torso bone does indeed belong to Sister Ling. However, we later hunted down the 100,000-year-old Sea Eagle King in the ocean and obtained another torso bone, which I then directly replaced with Sister Ling's."

Ye Liangchen nodded and slowly told Bibi Dong about it.

"Brother Chen, Sister Ye removed her soul bone. Doesn't she feel pain? I heard from our teacher that removing a soul bone can cause great damage."

Jin Xiuzhu looked at the golden soul bone in her hand. It turned out that Brother Chen had taken it from a beautiful woman. She was immediately shocked. How painful must that have been!

"It's alright, your sister Ling is doing perfectly well now."

Ye Liangchen smiled calmly. It was the Goddess of Life who helped Ye Lingling remove this soul bone back then; he wouldn't dare to do it himself.

"Hehe...! You're really something, kid." Bibi Dong exclaimed in admiration at the little guy's amazing skills, daring to even peel away his torso and soul bones.

"Xiuzhu, in your brother Chen's eyes, this kind of soul bone is just trash, so you'd better absorb it quickly!"

In order to allow Jin Xiuzhu to absorb the soul bone, Bibi Dong deliberately described the soul bone as trash, so that the little girl would not feel guilty.

"Teacher, I'm already 14 years old, I'm not stupid."

Kim Soo-joo pursed her lips. Who would believe that a soul bone that had been around for over 20,000 years was considered trash by the teacher?

"Hurry up and absorb it. Your soul power is now level 45. After absorbing this soul bone, it will probably take you about a year and a half to reach the Soul King level."

"Xiao Chen, you stay here with the little girl, I'll go cook."

After giving a few instructions, Bibi Dong went into the kitchen, put on an apron, and transformed into a beautiful cook to start cooking.

"Thank you, Brother Chen. Thank you, Teacher."

Kim Soo-joo didn't stand on ceremony and sat cross-legged on the ground to begin absorbing her first soul bone.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen waved his hand and created a soul power shield around Jin Xiuzhu to prevent others from disturbing her.

Ye Liangchen then surveyed the entire manor and prepared to set up a Nine-Star Spirit Gathering Array there.

Bibi Dong's residence covers an area of ​​tens of thousands of square meters, with lush grass, shady trees, and a small lake; it's practically a garden.

"Whoosh..."

Ye Liangchen spent an hour setting up array points around Bibi Dong's palace, and then activated the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array. In an instant, dense energy continuously converged on this place.

"Hmm! Xiao Chen has set up the formation so quickly?"

While cooking, Bibi Dong felt energy from all directions constantly converging on her palace, which filled her with immense joy.

……

After setting up the Nine Star Gathering Spirit Array, Ye Liangchen returned to Jin Xiuzhu's side and found that the little girl had already absorbed the soul bone, and her soul power had reached level 47.

"Thank you, Brother Chen." The little girl thanked Ye Liangchen respectfully.

"You are welcome."

Ye Liangchen rubbed Jin Xiuzhu's head to tell her not to take it to heart. The little girl had taken the Xuan Sheng Pill and cultivated the Xuan Tian Gong. At the age of 14, she was able to reach the high-level Soul Master. Such a cultivation speed was much better than Hu Liena's back then. At this rate, she could step into the Soul King realm before she turned 16.

"You two come over here right now, it's time to eat."

At this moment, Bibi Dong came out of the house and invited the two to enjoy the food.

"Xiao Chen, could you teach Xiao Xiuzhu your 'Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Flow' skill?"

After dinner, Bibi Dong made a request to Ye Liangchen, saying that the little girl possessed a rose-shaped martial soul, which was very suitable for her to cultivate that skill.

"No problem," Ye Liangchen nodded.

"teacher,……"

Jin Xiuzhu felt a little embarrassed. She had taken Chen Gege's soul bone and was also going to learn his skills. She felt like she owed him more and more favors.

"Your teacher is doing this for your own good. If you become stronger, you will be able to manage the Spirit Hall in the future."

After learning that Hu Liena had obtained the inheritance of the Goddess of Enchantment, Bibi Dong planned to pass on the position of the Spirit Hall to her little disciple. The little girl is only 14 years old now, but she has already reached the level of a high-level Soul Master. Sooner or later, she will become a Title Douluo and will be qualified to sit on the position of Pope.

"Oh! Teacher, how can I be the Pope?"

Kim Soo-joo was startled when she heard Bibi Dong's words.

"What? It's decided like this? Your two senior sisters have other missions, and they won't be popes in the future."

"From now on, you will learn from Elder Ghost and Elder Chrysanthemum and accumulate management experience."

Bibi Dong directly arranged for the little girl to become a god. Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and herself were all going to become gods in the future, and after thinking it over, this girl was the most suitable candidate. However, if she wanted this girl to become the Pope, she would have to cultivate her management skills.

"Okay! I'll follow the teacher's instructions."

Jin Xiuzhu nodded and had no choice but to agree to Bibi Dong's request. At present, she was only a Soul Master and was still a long way from becoming a Title Douluo.

"Good luck, Xiuzhu!"

Ye Liangchen understood Bibi Dong's arrangement, so he gave the little girl some encouragement.

"Xiao Chen, go outside and show the little girl something."

Bibi Dong led Ye Liangchen and Jin Xiuzhu to the lawn outside and had Ye Liangchen do some work.

"Sister Xiuzhu, if you want to cultivate the Myriad Leaves Flying Flowers Stream, you need to master the power of life attributes. For a Soul Master, having a Martial Soul with plant attributes is very suitable for cultivation..."

"Swish..."

Ye Liangchen explained the cultivation method of the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream to Jin Xiuzhu in detail. Then he made a hand gesture, which transformed into thousands of green leaves that intertwined into several giant green pythons that flew in the air.

Wow! That's amazing!

The little girl was dazzled by what she saw, her eyes sparkling. She was determined to learn Brother Chen's skill so that she could help her teacher.

Ye Liangchen also wrote down the cultivation method and gave it to Bibi Dong for safekeeping, asking her to urge the little girl to practice diligently in the future.
