The alarming commotion even reached the Presbyterian Church, located higher up on the Papal Hill.
Several powerful intents shot out instantly, but were quickly withdrawn. The elders of the Elder Hall had clearly sensed the unique aura of this 100,000-year-old soul beast. If nothing unexpected happened, the Pope had acquired another 100,000-year-old soul ring.
However, what puzzled them was how the commotion could have come from inside the Papal Palace. Could it be that Bibi Dong possessed extraordinary abilities, managing to kidnap a living, 100,000-year-old soul beast and bring it back to Wuhun City to kill it?
Although they couldn't figure out the specific reason, Bibi Dong was now in charge of the Spirit Hall, so none of the elders dared to be so tactless as to ask. The elders simply gave orders silently, strictly forbidding anyone from approaching the Papal Palace.
Inside the courtyard.
Nan Feng had brought Hu Liena back sometime earlier. He sat on the stone steps in the corner, quietly watching Bibi Dong sit cross-legged in the center of the blood-red light, absorbing the dazzling 100,000-year-old red soul ring.
After all, it is a hegemon with a lifespan of 100,000 years, so the absorption process is destined to be long.
It wasn't until darkness completely enveloped Wuhun City that the violent fluctuations of soul power emanating from Bibi Dong finally subsided. She slowly opened her eyes; the immense energy of her 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone had been completely absorbed, bringing her soul power one step closer to level 99.
Seeing that Bibi Dong had finished, Nan Feng patted Hu Liena's head, stood up, and walked towards the enormous corpse that was as big as a small mountain.
"Pfft!"
With a thought, Nan Feng instantly unleashed eight long, deep purple spider legs, identical to Bibi Dong's. He manipulated the sharp spider legs to precisely dig into the enormous head of the Demon Orca King.
Although he had promised Xiaobai that he would give her the whale brain containing a huge amount of vital energy, as the hunter of the prey, he also had to take what he needed first.
What are you looking for?
Bibi Dong stood aside, quietly watching Nan Feng's butcher-like, practiced dissection. After that afternoon's completely open and honest conversation, the atmosphere between them was subtly tense, but she still couldn't help but speak up.
Nan Feng didn't turn around until the spider legs picked out a large, translucent, blackish-red gel-like object, about the size of his head, from deep within the whale's brain, before he stopped.
"Whale gel." Nan Feng held the ball of gel that emitted a strange and pleasant fragrance in his hand.
Upon hearing this word, Bibi Dong's expression immediately became somewhat unnatural, and her eyes even showed a hint of disdain.
This thing... isn't it the kind of filth that those overindulgent nobles use to replenish "that" fluid? Why would he make this?
Seeing Bibi Dong's strange expression, Nan Feng shook his head helplessly.
"That aspect is just its most superficial side effect," Nan Feng explained. "This thing is the most nutritious and essential part of the whale brain. Although there are many other treasures in the whale brain, the energy contained in those things is too powerful, and human soul masters simply do not have the ability to absorb them directly."
“High-aged whale glue is different. It has a mild medicinal effect and can greatly improve a Soul Master’s physical fitness and muscle toughness after absorption. For low-level Soul Masters who have just started cultivating, it is a very rare and good tonic that can perfectly consolidate their physical foundation.”
Nan Feng weighed the black and red whale glue in his hand: "Moreover, this is whale glue produced by a 100,000-year-old demonic orca king. Its strengthening effect is almost comparable to absorbing a high-age 10,000-year-old soul bone."
At this point, Nan Feng pointed his fingers like a knife and cut off a palm-sized piece from the huge whale glue, carefully storing the remaining large part into his storage soul tool.
He turned around and walked up to Hu Liena, handing her the palm-sized piece of whale glue.
This was prepared for Hu Liena.
"This thing is, after all, the essence of a 100,000-year-old sea spirit beast. Even if its energy is gentle, it still has too much of an impact on a soul master's body." Nan Feng watched as Hu Liena carefully took the whale glue and casually instructed, "This small piece is enough for your current tolerance. Any more would be too much for you to handle and wouldn't be of much use."
“Whale glue can indeed greatly enhance a Soul Master’s physical attributes, but this enhancement is limited. It only has remarkable effects on low-level Soul Masters; the higher the cultivation level, the smaller the effect. Once you reach the Soul King realm, its effect is basically negligible.”
Looking at the unremarkable black and red gel in Hu Liena's hand, Bibi Dong couldn't help but ask, "Just how much will this whale gel improve Nana's physical abilities?"
Nan Feng stroked his chin, pondered for a moment, and gave a conservative estimate: "Once she has completely absorbed and digested this thing, her next soul ring can start directly at the ten-thousand-year level."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell into a deathly silence.
Bibi Dong was stunned, and Hu Liena, who was holding the whale glue, was so shocked that her mouth dropped open and she stood there dumbfounded.
Ten thousand years?!
Keep in mind, Hu Liena isn't even level 20 yet! Normally, a Soul Master's second Soul Ring can only last for a maximum of seven hundred years.
Then Nan Feng casually remarked, "The second spirit ring was absorbed for ten thousand years?!"
Seeing the identical blank expressions on the faces of the master and apprentice, Nan Feng raised an eyebrow and said matter-of-factly, "This is the purest essence nurtured within the body of a 100,000-year-old Sea Soul Beast King, a rare and precious treasure that is hard to come by. Is it really that strange that it has such an unconventional body-shaping effect?"
"but……"
Nan Feng changed the subject, looking at Bibi Dong, and specifically instructed, "There will be a small side effect when absorbing this thing. After all, its reputation as a virility enhancer in the noble circles of the Heaven Dou Empire is not without reason."
"When the vast amount of vital energy it contains washes over the body, it will inevitably have a strong aphrodisiac effect when actually used. While she is absorbing it, keep a close eye on her and help her channel her soul energy to prevent any problems."
Upon hearing that she was to help protect the Dharma, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "You brought this back yourself, and you know its medicinal properties better. Wouldn't it be safer for you to personally supervise its absorption?"
Nan Feng was speechless at Bibi Dong's thoughtless remark.
"Your Holiness, was your brain just damaged by that 100,000-year soul ring?" Nan Feng pointed to his masculine face, then to the bewildered Hu Liena beside him. "I've already clearly told you that this thing has a very strong aphrodisiac effect when absorbed!"
"You want me to watch a little girl absorb aphrodisiacs?!"
Do you think this is appropriate?
Hearing Nan Feng's confident refusal, Bibi Dong frowned slightly and subconsciously asked, "What? Are you going to do something outrageous to Nana?"
Nan Feng was completely speechless. He rubbed his forehead and sighed, "It's not a matter of whether I can do something or not. There are some things that, no matter how close the relationship is, need to maintain a basic distance."
"Children may not know any better, but adults can't be ignorant like that."
Nan Feng pointed to the little fox still standing there, his tone tinged with helplessness, "If it were any other clueless child who knew absolutely nothing, I could just keep an eye on her. But look at this little fox's expression right now. Do you think she wouldn't know what aphrodisiacs are? Do you think she wouldn't know what aphrodisiacs mean?"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong lowered her head and looked at Hu Liena's face.
The eight-year-old fox was clutching the black and red whale glue tightly. Her fair and delicate cheeks were so red that they looked like they could bleed, and her eyes were darting left and right, her face full of shyness and guilt.
Bibi Dong's expression immediately became tense, filled with disbelief: "This child... is he so precocious? What exactly do those teachers at the Spirit Hall Academy teach?!"
Hearing that her teacher, the Pope, seemed about to get angry and demand an explanation, Hu Liena was startled. She looked up nervously and whispered in her defense, "No, it wasn't taught at the academy... it was taught by my teacher."
Bibi Dong was suddenly stunned.
When did she ever teach this kind of nonsense? Wait a minute!
Bibi Dong instantly realized what was happening, turned around and stared at Nan Feng in disbelief, utterly at a loss for words: "How old is Hu Liena?! What exactly have you been doing with her all this time? You've been teaching her all this?!"
Chapter 209 Don't Let Me Down
……
Faced with Bibi Dong's annoyance, Nan Feng remained calm: "I'll have to teach her sooner or later. Soul Masters develop much faster than normal children, especially with her top-grade charm-type martial soul, she's even more prone to attracting trouble."
“I don’t trust others with this kind of basic knowledge of self-protection, so I naturally want to teach her early on, and I want to teach her personally. I want to give her a heads-up in advance so that she won’t be taken advantage of by such underhanded means in the future.”
Bibi Dong was so angry that her chest tightened. "You can teach her something like this without batting an eye, and now she's just taking a tonic with some side effects, and you're too embarrassed to stand by and watch?"
"Theory is theory, and practice is practice. How can they be the same?"
Nan Feng retorted confidently, "Talking on paper and fighting in real combat are two different things. I don't want a child who is still developing to have any misunderstandings because of a momentary rush of blood and the aphrodisiac effect of drugs."
“It was one thing for me to have your face before, but now in this little fox’s eyes, I, the teacher, am a real man, not a woman.”
Nan Feng pointed to his current male body and said, "If this kid really gets carried away by the drug and mistakes his physical urges for feelings, then things will get interesting."
Bibi Dong was rendered speechless by Nan Feng's impeccable yet extremely bizarre logic, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
However, while the two adults were arguing about avoiding suspicion and education, they were completely unaware that Hu Liena, with her head down, had a strange, elusive light flickering in her large, bright eyes, a light that was both unpredictable and even a little mischievous.
……
After learning the specific methods of consuming and refining whale glue from Nan Feng, Bibi Dong did not linger and immediately led Hu Liena to the underground secret chamber deep within the Papal Palace.
Since this product has such an unconventional body-shaping effect, it's naturally better to take it as early as possible.
Moreover, having just experienced that afternoon's open and brutal confession, Bibi Dong had no idea what expression to wear when facing Nan Feng.
Only when it came to teaching Hu Liena could they barely maintain the illusion of normal communication they used to have.
If it were just the two of them alone in the vast palace, she wouldn't know how to start the conversation.
Watching Bibi Dong's retreating figure, which seemed to be fleeing in panic, Nan Feng withdrew his gaze. He walked into the courtyard, skillfully cut up and packed the remaining massive body of the Demon Orca King, stuffing it all into his storage soul tool, intending to take it back to Xiao Bai to report.
After tidying everything up, Nan Feng thought for a moment, then turned around and returned to his palace, leaving a note on Bibi Dong's large, soft couch: Go check out Purple Pearl Island.
Although he had made a very firm statement at the Temple of Poseidon to force Poseidon to take a stand, saying that she could do whatever she wanted with Purple Pearl Island, he was still somewhat unsure and needed to see for himself what the high priest was really up to.
This time, Nan Feng did not deliberately transform back into the obedient and cute six-year-old little girl. Instead, she completely retained her appearance as a tall, slender, adult male with heterochromatic eyes.
There's no need to hide anymore.
Aside from Seagod Island and in front of Bibi Dong, no one outside of the area had ever seen his face, so naturally no one would associate him with the Spirit Hall. As for the little "Demon God Douluo" loli who previously wreaked havoc on Purple Pearl Island, how do you explain that?
It's very simple. She's his good sister, the Demon God Douluo, who's just using his name to bully others.
Yes, the logic is perfect, that's exactly it.
Once everything was ready, Nanfeng soared into the sky.
With all firepower unleashed, howling winds amplified the force, and spatial power folded and crisscrossed around him.
The next morning, just as dawn was breaking, Nan Feng crossed the long sea and arrived above Purple Pearl Island.
However, to his surprise, the entire Purple Pearl Island was not forcefully incorporated into the army of Poseidon Island as he had anticipated.
Below, the pirates continued their lazy daily patrols, showing no signs of the tension or change that came with being taken over.
However, Nan Feng's double pupils narrowed slightly, and he quickly sensed two extremely familiar and powerful auras.
The Sea Maiden Douluo, and the 100,000-year-old Demon Soul Great White Shark King, Xiao Bai.
Right on the private beach of his seaside villa.
Although Nan Feng had doubts in his heart, he still quickly descended from the sky and landed.
As soon as he landed, he saw an extremely incongruous scene—the Sea Maiden Douluo and Xiao Bai were comfortably soaking in the morning waves, enjoying a delicious breakfast while feeling the sea breeze.
"You two... what's going on?" Nan Feng stepped forward, his face full of confusion.
Seeing that the person in question had returned, the Sea Maiden Douluo swallowed the food in her mouth, put down her breakfast, stood up, clapped her hands, and looked at him with a complicated expression: "The High Priest sent us."
"The High Priestess said that although your stubborn and suspicious nature really annoyed her..." The Sea Maiden Douluo repeated earnestly, mimicking Poseidon's tone, "but since she has decided to believe you, there is no reason for her to turn her back on you so soon."
"Seagod Island will not interfere here. This Purple Pearl Island still belongs to you, 'Demon God Douluo'. As for how the outside world speculates about the relationship between Demon God Douluo and Seagod Island, we will not admit it, but... we will never deny it either."
At this point, the Sea Maiden Douluo shrugged and lowered her voice to complain, "However, even though that's what she says, I can tell that the High Priest is still sulking with you. After all, the High Priest sent both of us here..."
"Think about it, the two of us, one is the guardian beast of Seagod Island, and the other is one of the Seven Sacred Pillars of Seagod. The two of us are just swaggering around eating on your private beach, which is practically tantamount to admitting to everyone on this island that you, Demon God Douluo, have Seagod Island backing you up!"
Nan Feng was even more puzzled, his brows furrowing: "What does she mean by that?"
"The High Priestess said..." The Sea Maiden Douluo's joking expression vanished, replaced by an extremely solemn one, "She doesn't want to see war."
“Once war begins, it is never just a battle between one or two strong individuals, but the devastation of countless lives, and this azure sea will be completely stained red with blood. As the high priestess of Seagod Island, her duty is to do everything in her power to prevent the outbreak of this war.”
"If she really allows Seagod Island to forcefully intervene in Purple Pearl Island and ruthlessly expose all your schemes, then even if Seagod Island really chooses to ally with the Heavenly Dou Empire, future war will be inevitable."
