Seeing the Pope's teacher, who was usually aloof and decisive, now showing such a vulnerable and sad appearance, Hu Liena's heart clenched, and she quickly stepped forward.
“Teacher…” Hu Liena bit her lip and whispered to comfort him, “Actually, the teacher is also very sad.”
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's eyes reddened slightly, and a self-deprecating and tragic sneer curled at the corner of her lips:
"Is he sad? If he's really sad, why is he avoiding me? Why won't he even look at me?"
Bibi Dong suddenly turned her head and stared intently at Hu Liena. "Tell me, where have you been these past few days?"
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then remembered Nan Feng's instructions before he left, and said in a low voice, "The teacher said... once you have really thought things through, you should go and ask him yourself."
Upon hearing this answer, Bibi Dong's face instantly turned cold.
"Now, even you won't listen to me, is that it?"
Bibi Dong's tone conveyed a deep sense of powerlessness and suppressed anger.
"Could he just say something and make you hide something from me?"
"I'll be good!"
Seeing Bibi Dong's appearance, Hu Liena was so anxious that tears almost fell, and she quickly explained,
"But...the teacher said that if I tell you the truth now, you will definitely be angry and will not be able to stop overthinking and tormenting yourself."
"But if you don't tell me, I'll start to overthink things even more uncontrollably!" Bibi Dong stepped forward and grabbed Hu Liena's shoulders tightly. "Tell me, where did he take you!"
Faced with Bibi Dong, who was on the verge of spiraling out of control, Hu Liena struggled internally for a long time, but ultimately gave in and could no longer bear to hide the truth.
"My teacher took me to the far north..." Hu Liena truthfully recounted, "We saw the heavy snow and the beautiful aurora borealis."
Bibi Dong's fingers tightened suddenly.
She slowly crouched down, meeting Hu Liena's gaze at eye level, her eyes pressing: "What else? Besides watching the snow, what else did you do?"
Hu Liena recalled the thrilling events of those days: "We encountered several incredibly terrifying 100,000-year-old soul beast overlords there. Our teacher fought against them, and he was able to defeat two of them... but there was one, our teacher said, he was no match for him at all."
"He can't beat him?!" Bibi Dong looked Hu Liena up and down anxiously. "Is he injured?! With his personality, if he can't beat someone, he'll definitely try to be brave..."
Seeing Bibi Dong's flustered expression, Hu Liena looked at her strangely.
“Teacher…” Hu Liena whispered a reminder, “Have you forgotten that Teacher is just an energy clone right now? There’s no such thing as being truly injured.”
Bibi Dong was taken aback.
Yes, she was in such a hurry that she forgot even this most basic fact.
That bastard was just a ghost. Even if his clone was destroyed, he would only lose some power. At worst, his soul would simply roll back into her spiritual sea.
Coming to her senses, Bibi Dong's brows furrowed again: "If you couldn't win, how did you manage to return safely?"
"Because although the other party was very strong, she was still reasonable." Hu Liena recalled the scene when Xue Di let them leave in the end. "Teacher originally did not intend to fight her to the death. When she saw that we gave in, she did not make things difficult for us and let us leave."
"Since he was just looking at the scenery, ran away when he couldn't win, and nothing happened, why didn't he let you tell me? What's he guilty about?"
Hu Liena swallowed, her eyes darting around nervously: "Because..."
"Say!"
"Because that powerful guy who defeated the teacher is a very rare soul beast called Ice and Snow Maiden."
Hu Liena braced herself and told the whole truth in one breath: "She is not only terrifyingly strong, but also... and she is very beautiful, with the appearance of a perfect human woman."
Seeing Bibi Dong's expression freeze instantly, Hu Liena's voice grew softer and softer:
"The teacher was worried that if you found out about this, you would overthink things and get jealous, so she told me not to tell you..."
After a brief silence.
Bibi Dong sneered, "Afraid I'll overthink things? If he has a clear conscience, what is there to be afraid of?"
Hu Liena looked at her strangely and muttered under her breath, "Teacher, aren't you just overthinking things right now..."
Bibi Dong's expression froze, then she stared intently at Hu Liena, her gaze extremely oppressive: "Are you sure nothing really happened between them?"
“I’m sure!” Hu Liena quickly explained, “The teacher did say she had something to discuss with her. But… I was so tired at the time that I fell asleep by the fire, so I don’t know exactly what they talked about.”
"You're asleep?" Bibi Dong's voice suddenly rose, her teeth clenched. "A man and a woman alone together, and you actually fell asleep? You dare tell me nothing's wrong?!"
Hu Liena panicked, her face full of helplessness: "It's really nothing! We were practically kicked out by them with dark faces! If there was anything wrong, why would they just kick us out like that!"
In her view, this logic is sound.
But Bibi Dong's thought process is clearly not on this wavelength.
"Does being kicked out prove his innocence?"
Bibi East Africa, instead of believing her, laughed even louder and retorted without any politeness.
"That Tang Yuehua from Yuexuan in Tiandou City, he's been shamelessly seducing her for so many years, doesn't that woman want to get rid of him? It's just that she doesn't have the power to do so!"
"That Ice and Snow Woman in the far north is stronger than him. He can't change his nature and went to provoke her. He got disliked and was kicked out. Isn't that the only logical thing to do?"
"..."
Hu Liena opened her mouth, staring dumbfounded at Bibi Dong, who was speaking eloquently in front of her.
She was desperate.
In this impeccable closed-loop logic, whether Nan Feng is beaten, driven away, or returns unscathed, it is all irrefutable evidence of his philandering outside.
This conversation was completely unsustainable!
……
the other side.
After leaving Wuhun City, Nan Feng did not return to Purple Pearl Island, which was far overseas, as usual. Instead, he changed direction and sped towards the Star Dou Great Forest.
The collaboration to create a god with the Snow Emperor in the far north is not feasible for the time being, and he cannot put all his eggs in one basket. The other plans must be put on the agenda as soon as possible.
The few ferocious beasts sleeping in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest, especially the group of old relics led by Di Tian, are indeed not something his current clone can afford to offend.
However, if it's just the two soft-boned rabbits in the outer and mixed zones, as well as the four guys—the Titan Giant Ape and the Azure Bull Python—he can easily handle them now.
"Judging by the time, that big rabbit Arou should have transformed into human form quite a few years ago. I just don't know if she's wandering around the outer perimeter of the mixed zone now, or if she's still hiding near the core zone with Xiaowu."
As Nan Feng sped through the air, he thought to himself, "That little brat Xiao Wu probably hasn't transformed into human form yet."
To avoid alerting the two rabbits, Nan Feng didn't bother searching slowly throughout the vast Star Dou Forest.
He decided to strike at the heart of the matter, heading straight for the Lake of Life in the Starry Sky Forest.
Anyway, the Titan Ape and the Azure Bull Python, those two gatekeepers, are most likely guarding that spot.
Chapter 302 Either you go and take the rabbit yourself, or I'll cripple you before I catch it.
……
At midday, sunlight pierced through the dense canopy of trees, casting dappled light and shadow on the surface of the Lake of Life.
On the open ground by the lake, the colossal Titan ape Erming, as large as a mountain, lay sprawled out, fast asleep, his deafening snores making the surrounding leaves rustle.
Suddenly, a terrifying aura, as if it were a tangible force, descended from the sky and headed straight for its face!
Erming was suddenly awakened from his sleep, his huge, dark yellow eyes opening instantly.
But before it could even sit up or let out a roar, a dark shadow fell from the sky like lightning and landed steadily on its chest.
"Shh!"
Nan Feng's right arm instantly transformed into a purplish-gray demonic scythe radiating a chilling purple light. The scythe's incredibly sharp tip pressed precisely against the thick fur around the Titan Giant Ape's heart.
"Don't move around or make a fuss."
Nanfeng looked down at it and said, "I didn't come here to fight. But if you're not thinking straight and keep yelling and shouting, I don't mind beating you down first, and then we can talk slowly."
Feeling the terrifying sharpness emanating from the demonic scythe pressed against his chest, and the extreme evil and death aura emanating from the man in black that sent chills down his spine, the usually irritable Titan Giant Ape Erming was surprisingly still and did not make any rash moves.
"You...you are the Death Spider Queen?!"
Erming's deep, thunderous voice echoed across the open space, his enormous eyes filled with wariness and disbelief.
"How did you end up in the Star Dou Great Forest?!"
As a long-standing overlord of the Star Dou Great Forest, it was well aware of the true nature of the Death Spider Emperor, a soul beast.
This is an evil soul beast that is just as infamous as, or even more notorious than, the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Because of their inherently cruel and greedy nature, they were driven out by a large number of soul beasts in the Star Dou Great Forest countless years ago.
These disgusting insects that can't stand the light should only be hiding in dark, desolate places like the Death Canyon, barely surviving. How dare they appear so brazenly in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest?!
What terrified Erming even more was that the aura emanating from this guy far surpassed that of this 100,000-year-old overlord!
"Could it be... a mutated Death Spider King with over 500,000 years of cultivation?" Erming thought to himself in shock.
Nan Feng ignored Er Ming's shock. He casually glanced around at the calm lake and the surrounding forest, and frowned.
"Don't change the subject. Where's the Azure Bull Python? And where did those two rabbits go?"
Upon hearing Nan Feng mention "those two rabbits," the Titan Ape's eyes instantly turned incredibly fierce and wary.
"What do you want to do?!" Erming lowered his voice, his huge hand already secretly gathering power.
Nanfeng tapped its chest with the tip of his scythe with some impatience: "I told you, I have something very important to discuss with you. Where are they?"
"Tell me what you want to do first!" The Titan Ape stared intently at him, refusing to budge an inch.
"Fine, you insist on wasting time, huh?"
Nan Feng put away his demonic scythe and sneered, "That big rabbit named Arou has already transformed and started cultivating again, right? And these past few years she's often been wandering around the outskirts of the mixed zone with Xiao Wu, hasn't she?"
Nan Feng watched Er Ming's face change drastically in an instant, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of his lips.
"Do you know that the news about her transformation and cultivation has already spread?"
The Titan Ape's eyes widened in shock and rage: "How did you know?!"
"Is that so hard to understand?" Nan Feng looked at it like it was an idiot. "Even I, a bug that used to live in the Death Valley, know this. Do you think those humans outside who regard 100,000-year soul rings and soul bones as priceless treasures wouldn't know?"
Nan Feng's tone suddenly turned cold: "Hurry up and bring them back to hide immediately. Otherwise, the Title Douluos of the Human Spirit Hall will probably be mobilized in the next few days."
"It is indeed not easy to hunt a 100,000-year-old soul beast in its prime in the Star Dou Great Forest. But to kill a transformed soul beast whose strength is not even a Soul Saint, that is much easier."
Although the Titan Ape was terrified after hearing these words, it did not lower its guard against Nan Feng.
