Douluo Continent: From Blue Silver Grass to Nine-Leaf Sword Grass

Chapter 101 Bibi Dong's Thoughts

Ultimately, despite Ghost Douluo's reminder, the two still arrived at the Papal Palace looking disheveled.

On the throne sat a woman clad in a magnificent black robe inlaid with gold, wearing a nine-curved purple-gold crown and holding a two-meter-long scepter studded with countless jewels. Her fair skin and near-perfect features made her stand out from the crowd.

In particular, the intangible nobility and holiness emanating from them makes people unable to help but feel a sense of worship.

This person is none other than Bibi Dong, the current Pope of the Spirit Hall.

When she saw Kiku and Kiku in this state, she parted her lips slightly and a voice devoid of any emotion slowly rang out.

"So, it seems you two failed, right?"

Although the voice seemed incredibly gentle, Kiku and Kiku, who knew Bibi Dong's temperament well, immediately knelt down.

The two of them knew that the more Bibi Dong acted this way, the more it represented the boundless storm brewing within her heart.

After the two knelt there for a long time, Bibi Dong, who was sitting high on the throne, glanced at them coldly and continued.

"Tell me the reason. I remember saying that you could use all your strength, but now you've ended up like this. So I expect you to have a reason that can convince me."

Upon hearing this, the two people present couldn't help but tremble slightly. Then, Ghost Douluo slowly recounted what had happened in a somewhat hoarse voice.

"Your Holiness, it's not that we were useless or didn't give it our all, but that Dugu Bo's martial spirit has actually evolved."

Bibi Dong, whose eyes had been devoid of any emotion, showed a thoughtful expression after hearing about the so-called evolution of martial souls. She then gestured for the two to continue.

Seeing this, Ghost Douluo breathed a sigh of relief and continued his story.

"After Dugu Bo's martial soul evolved, it became more like a dragon. Its defense was outstanding, and its original poison attribute was also preserved. We fought until the very end, and even used our martial soul fusion technique, but this old guy broke through to level 96 at the last moment, which is why we ended up like this."

After Ghost Douluo finished speaking, he lowered his head again, awaiting Bibi Dong's final judgment.

After listening, Bibi Dong's eyes darkened for a moment, and then she looked at the two people on the ground before finally speaking about the outcome of their defeat.

"Since that's the case, you can be considered somewhat excusable. Wasn't it your own fault for not handling things properly? The two of you couldn't even beat one of them, and you still have the nerve to complain? Get down and receive your punishment."

Bibi Dong's gentle tone at the beginning kept Kiku and Kisame on edge.

But they only breathed a sigh of relief when those punitive words were finally uttered.

After apologizing to Bibi Dong again and promising that he would never make the same mistake again, he slowly withdrew.

Until the two figures completely disappeared.

Bibi Dongfang was just reflecting on what the two had just said, and what she cared about most was nothing else.

Rather, it was the so-called evolution of her martial soul, because it concerned the person she cared about most. As for the two of them daring to deceive her, Bibi Dong never thought that way, after all, they knew her methods very well.

After a moment of silence in the Papal Palace, she couldn't help but murmur with a hint of amusement.

"Heh, what a Dugu Bo. His martial soul has evolved and he's reached level ninety-six. He's quite a figure now. Since he's so stubborn, let's add him to the list of those in action."

After she finished speaking, a fierce glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Meanwhile, inside Shrek Academy, Zhu Zhuqing's gaze, carrying a hint of something unusual, drifted into the distance, lost in thought.

"Zhu Qing! Training has begun."

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was lost in her memories, a clear, crisp voice pulled her out of them.

Looking back, a pink figure appeared beside her. It was none other than Xiao Wu, the only girl in Shrek Academy besides Zhu Zhuqing.

Jiang Li's appearance led Ning Rongrong to join the Heaven Dou Royal Team, instead of joining Shrek Academy as in the original story.

This made Xiao Wu the only person Zhu Zhuqing could talk to within Shrek Academy.

After all, they were the only two girls, and they lived in the same dormitory.

So after Xiao Wu's reminder, Zhu Zhuqing nodded slightly to her and they walked together towards the square.

In the center of the square was none other than Master Yu Xiaogang. Since arriving at Shrek Academy, he had been training just like in the original story, carrying stones on his back and running.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was somewhat disgusted by this training program that supposedly aimed to cultivate team chemistry, Yu Xiaogang always used the promise of becoming stronger to deceive her, so Zhu Zhuqing could only accept it somewhat helplessly.

Just when she thought today would be another run like usual, Yu Xiaogang gave a wicked smile and suggested they go to Soto City for a Soul Battle.

Upon hearing the other party mention this, the impatience that had been hidden in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes disappeared, replaced by a look full of fighting spirit.

Because she also understood that the so-called physical enhancement brought about by running and medicinal baths was of little use to Zhu Zhuqing.

After all, she is an agility-type Soul Master, whose original role is assassin. It would be more useful to increase her Soul Power than to improve her physical attributes.

Immediately afterward, as the group headed towards Soto City, a figure suddenly squeezed next to her and began to show concern for her.

"Zhuqing, are you thirsty? I have water and food here."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

If it were someone else, Zhu Zhuqing might have responded and said thank you.

But this person just happened to be the one she least wanted to meet—Dai Mubai.

Seeing the other person come to her side, Zhu Zhuqing also distanced herself from the other person and came to Xiao Wu's side.

Seeing that he had once again been met with indifference, Dai Mubai sighed helplessly as the veins on his forehead bulged.

Just then, Ma Hongjun slipped next to him, skillfully taking the water bottle and food from the other's arms, and couldn't help but speak in a carefree manner.

"Boss Dai, she's not interested in you, why force it? Do you remember last time we went..."

Seeing that Ma Hongjun was about to bring up that kind of thing, Dai Mubai immediately stuffed a ball of food into Ma Hongjun's mouth.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes grew even colder, and she immediately distanced herself from him once more.

The series of setbacks fueled a nameless anger within Dai Mubai.

Seeing that Ma Hongjun had caused trouble, she was quite sensible and kept her distance from him.

After Dai Mubai's complexion improved somewhat, Oscar came to his side and asked in a low voice about something that he, Ma Hongjun, and Tang San were all curious about.

"Boss Dai, it's true that Zhu Zhuqing is beautiful, but with your talent and looks, you shouldn't be like this. Besides, you don't seem like the type to be so infatuated. Why have you been trying so hard to win her over since she entered the academy?"

Seeing Oscar ask this question, Dai Mubai sighed and finally decided to tell Oscar part of the story.

"After my confirmation, she is my fiancée. Otherwise, why would I bother trying to win her over? As for other matters, don't ask."

As for Dai Mubai, he naturally couldn't reveal that he had brought two women with him and that his fiancée had caught them.

But when Oscar heard about this, and combined it with the fact that Dai Mubai and the others went to seek revenge that day, he had some vague guesses in his mind.

What happened next was just like in the original story. After the battle, the group returned to the academy. Dai Mubai, who was full of anger, stopped Zhu Zhuqing at the door and couldn't help but question her, venting his frustration from the past few days.

"Zhu Qing, so much time has passed since that incident. You should forgive me by now. Given our relationship, why should things continue like this? Besides, if you really don't forgive me, why are you staying at Shrek Academy?"
