In truth, he knew that Hu Liena being ordered to go back to rest was just a pretext; Bibi Dong's real purpose was to get him out of here as soon as possible.
On one hand, with the finals approaching, Xuan Hao's public identity is the leader of the Heaven Dou Empire's participating team, and also a favorite of the Heaven Dou royal family who are trying their best to win him over.
If Bibi Dong stayed in the Papal Palace every day, even if she claimed it was because she "loved talent and wanted to recruit them," it would inevitably have a negative impact in the eyes of those with ulterior motives.
On the other hand, and most importantly, she was urging him to pick up Na'er and the others.
Xuan Hao has been shamelessly lounging in the Papal Palace for two whole months. If the Heavenly Dou Empire's caravan arrives in Wuhun City and he doesn't even show his face, continuing to hide in the Papal Palace enjoying the company of beautiful women, those young girls who have traveled thousands of miles to come here will definitely be extremely jealous.
As a pope of great stature, Bibidon would never stoop to the level of competing with a group of teenage girls for affections.
But she also knew that if Xuan Hao's backyard was in turmoil and he was in a mess, she would be upset to see it.
Anyway, this bastard has already monopolized it for two months, so letting him go for a while won't hurt.
Moreover, Bibi Dong is now genuinely afraid to be alone with Xuan Hao.
This kid just took that final step with Hu Liena last night; he's at the peak of his passion and youthful vigor.
If he loses control of his impulse when the two of them are alone, am I really going to hit him and kick him out?
Bibi Dong still hadn't completely overcome that hurdle in her heart. Faced with this potentially out-of-control situation, the best way was to avoid seeing it and getting rid of the person directly.
Xuanhao naturally understood his teacher's good intentions, so he arrived early at the magnificent city gate of Wuhun City and quietly became a "waiting-for-wife stone".
Chapter 390 A Long-Awaited Reunion, Yet He Feigns Innocence; Six Beauties Join Forces to Interrogate Xuan Hao in His Boudoir
……
At noon, the sun was blazing.
At the end of the road, the magnificent banner of the Heavenly Dou Empire's royal family finally rose amidst the billowing dust, followed by the iconic silver heavy armor of the Royal Knights.
It's worth mentioning that this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament did not feature the thrilling "Canyon Ambush" scene from the original novel.
The reason is simple—it's completely unnecessary.
In this era, all so-called geniuses have paled in comparison to Xuan Hao, this utterly unreasonable "peerless evil god."
Bibi Dong has already firmly "grasped" Xuan Hao, the biggest variable, under her control, so why would she care about the other small fry?
The carriage slowly approached Wuhun City.
The window of the spacious and luxurious carriage at the front was pushed open, and Na'er, Ning Rongrong and the other girls leaned out and immediately saw the familiar figure leaning against the city gate pillar, smiling at them.
Seeing Xuan Hao come to pick them up in person, the girls' tense faces visibly relaxed, and they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Before they arrived, they were worried that this lecherous scoundrel might have been bewitched by some vixen in the Papal Palace in the past two months and wouldn't even bother to greet them when they arrived.
Now it seems this guy still has some conscience.
Under Xuan Hao's personal guidance, the Heaven Dou Empire's participating team entered Wuhun City in a grand procession and arrived at the rest area specially arranged for them by the Wuhun Hall.
As representatives of one of the two great empires, they received extremely high treatment. Each team was assigned a spacious, independent courtyard, which could easily accommodate not only one participating team but also a hundred or so more.
However, Xuan Hao had just settled all the teams in as their leader and hadn't even had a sip of water when he felt a tightness in his clothes.
The next second, he was dragged into a spacious bedroom by several pairs of soft, boneless yet incredibly strong hands.
"boom!"
The door was locked from the inside, completely shutting out the noise from the outside world.
Xuan Hao turned around, looked at the lined-up formation in front of him, and couldn't help but swallow.
Na'er, Xiao Wu, Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, Zhu Zhuqing.
Six beautiful young girls, each with their own unique style, stood with their arms crossed, staring intently at him with a gaze that seemed to see right through him.
Xuan Hao felt a chill run down his spine under the gaze of those six pairs of eyes. He chuckled awkwardly, "Um... what's going on? Aren't you all tired from traveling such a long way? Why don't you go and rest?"
Dugu Yan sneered, her high heels clicking as she approached, circling him once, and said in a low, languid tone:
"It seems... you've had a comfortable time in Spirit City these past few months?"
Xuan Hao's eye twitched slightly, but he tried his best to remain calm: "What makes you say that, Sister Yan Yan? What makes you so sure?"
"If you weren't living too comfortably, why would you look at us with such clear eyes?"
Dugu Yan stopped and stared at him with a suspicious look in her eyes.
"Given your usual behavior, after two months of not seeing each other, you should have been eager to drag everyone into your room and have a wild time with us as soon as you saw us. But what happened? You actually had the leisure to calmly arrange accommodations for the other teams?"
Xuan Hao's expression froze, his face full of innocence: "No... when did I become that kind of horny pervert in your hearts?"
"You're definitely not a horny pervert."
Ning Rongrong stepped forward. "But you were too calm just now!"
Ning Rongrong raised a finger and began her reasoned analysis:
“Just now at the city gate, when we got out of the car and hugged you, your body didn’t react at all! You didn’t even hug us for a while longer like you used to when you came out of seclusion, nor did you bury your face in our necks and take deep breaths!”
"Considering all of the above abnormal reactions that are highly inconsistent with your nature..."
Ning Rongrong narrowed her beautiful eyes and concluded decisively, "You've been living a truly outrageous life these past few months! Even..."
She leaned closer to Xuan Hao, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of certainty:
"You were absolutely relaxed completely this morning, weren't you?!"
Xuan Hao's eyes twitched violently, and he was completely bewildered.
"so……"
Xuan Hao took a deep breath and pointed at himself incredulously, "Your entire basis for presuming my guilt is... that I acted too serious towards you today?!"
The six girls nodded in unison.
That's right, it's because they're too serious!
You should know that every time Xuan Hao returned to Tiandou City after several months of seclusion to find them, even though he tried his best to restrain himself because of their sake, the eagerness and aggression in his eyes were impossible to hide!
Even in the simplest gestures like holding hands and hugging, they could clearly feel his burning passion, as if he wanted to devour them whole.
They knew better than anyone the details of Xuan Hao's abnormal body.
At his age, he is at the peak of his vitality, yang energy, and mental activity.
If he can remain calm even during moments like this when separation makes the heart grow fonder, then this guy is doomed.
Every time he emerged from seclusion, they were the ones who could best empathize with his longing after such a long separation.
Therefore, even if they hadn't gone all the way before, they would still try their best to help him relax and soothe his restless blood and qi through various means.
But what about today?
He actually acted like a saint who had no desires! His hugs were polite and restrained, his eyes were clear and unambiguous, and there was not a trace of aggression in them!
Something is definitely amiss when things are going abnormally; this is absolutely not normal!
Ning Rongrong, like a kitten that had sniffed out a shocking scoop, pressed herself almost against Xuan Hao, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, and asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, what exactly have you been doing in the Papal Palace these past few months?"
Xuan Hao looked at the several pairs of inquisitive eyes in front of him, sighed helplessly, and spread his hands: "I think you've all guessed it, so I don't need to say anything more, right?"
He had confessed the secret about the complicated and tangled relationship between him, Bibi Dong, and his senior sister Hu Liena to these girls a long time ago.
As for why he abandoned the main force and rushed to Wuhun City ahead of schedule, Na'er must have already explained it clearly to everyone.
However, upon hearing Xuan Hao's ambiguous "admission," Ning Rongrong gasped and covered her mouth in disbelief: "You and the Pope, really...did that?"
Upon hearing this, the air in the entire room seemed to freeze for a moment.
Previously in Tiandou City, when they learned that the gentle and refined Crown Prince Xue Qinghe was actually Qian Renxue in disguise, they were already greatly shocked.
But Qian Renxue is, after all, a young girl. They are the same age and can even "spar" with each other in some aspects.
However, Pope Bibidon was a being from a completely different dimension!
In the world of Soul Masters, age difference is indeed not an insurmountable barrier.
The problem is that Xuan Hao once said that Bibi Dong was his teacher! In a sense, he was even raised by her!
These two, how could they even get together, and even cross that line?!
Oh no, Xuan Hao ran off to Tian Dou City when he was nine years old. If you really want to count, they actually watched him grow up. His Holiness the Pope probably only sees him twice a year.
But no matter what, he's the Pope after all! It's a million times more exciting than that fake Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!
Aside from Xiao Wu, who instinctively rejects Bibi Dong because of her background as a "victim's family member," even the usually aloof and reserved Zhu Zhuqing and Ye Lingling couldn't help but cast curious and gossipy glances at her.
Xuan Hao looked at their eyes, which seemed to be looking at some rare and monstrous species, and his eyes twitched slightly. He said in an annoyed tone, "If you're really that curious, why don't you go out now, turn left, and go to the Pope's Palace to ask her yourself?"
Ning Rongrong's expression froze, and she shook her head vigorously, then quickly shrank back: "I want to live a few more years!"
Are you kidding me? Even if that bastard Xuan Hao really did have some kind of lawless affair with the Pope in the palace, he is still His Holiness the Pope, who is decisive and ruthless and whose power over the world is immense!
What if she really lost her mind and went to ask about such private matters, and the other person got angry and slapped her into pieces?
Chapter 391 A Perfect Match: Na'er's Strategic Moves to Win Over the Pope's Mind
……
Na'er, who was quietly watching this scene from the side, had a knowing glint in her eyes.
She knows her brother too well.
Although Bibi Dong and Xuan Hao are already extremely close, if the older brother is shameless and persistent enough, they can indeed engage in some shameless and outrageous games in the Papal Palace.
However, the unique sense of absolute relaxation that my brother exudes now, after a complete release, is definitely the final, substantial step he has taken!
And within the Papal Palace, what would make him take this step...
It's definitely impossible for Bibi Dong now; the line of defense she has regarding ethics and the past won't collapse so easily.
Therefore, there is only one answer—Hu Liena!
It must be that seductive senior sister!
However, Na'er did not choose to expose him on the spot.
As the "pillar of strength" in this special little group, she knew very well what everyone was looking forward to in this "final step." In fact, the girls would often make bets, half-jokingly and half-seriously, to guess who would come out on top.
In their unspoken understanding, everyone felt that Xuanhao would definitely wait until all of them had truly grown up before finding a suitable opportunity to treat them all equally.
