Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Ten Ferocious Heavenly Horned Ant

"Teacher, he bullied me..."

When Hu Liena saw that Bibi Dong was the first to show concern for her, she immediately felt confident enough to complain.

"How dare you say that? Dongqing is only six years old, and Nana, you are twelve years old, twice his age. Yet you were defeated by him in one move, and it was only because you attacked him first that he retaliated. And you are the one who accused him first."

Bibi Dong gently tapped Hu Liena's fair forehead.

"Teacher!!!" Hu Liena clung to Bibi Dong's arm, acting coquettishly.

"Alright, Nana, you're twelve years old now, a big girl. How come you're not as sensible as a six-year-old?"

Bibi Dong's voice revealed a hint of maternal love that she herself was unaware of.

Perhaps because Qian Renxue and she had never gotten along well since childhood, she poured some of her maternal love into Hu Liena.

After comforting Hu Liena, Bibi Dong gently squatted down, pinched Dong Qing's little cheek, and then said, "Oh right, I haven't had a chance to introduce myself yet. I am Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall. Dong Qing, you can call me teacher from now on. Can I call you Xiao Qing from now on?"

It's Xiaoqing again!!!

Dong Qing scratched his head and asked, "Can I say no?"

He really didn't want to be called Xiaoqing. Could he change his name to something else? Xiaodong sounds pretty good, doesn't it?

Upon hearing this...

Bibi Dong's expression shifted slightly. She extended a slender, white finger, gently lifting Dong Qing's chin, and said in an undeniable tone, "No!"

Chapter 9, My Teacher and My Childhood Friend

"Okay, teacher, my name is Xiaoqing."

Seeing Bibi Dong's growing strength, Dong Qing could only nod obediently and then deactivated his Martial Soul Possession state.

Although he was somewhat unwilling, he was powerless to change the situation. He couldn't really go head-to-head with Bibi Dong; he wanted to live a few more years.

"Be good, listen to me, and I'll love you."

Bibi Dong immediately smiled with satisfaction, then reached out and picked Dong Qing up, affectionately pinching the tip of his nose.

In her eyes, Dongqing, who was only six years old, was still just a child. Naturally, he wouldn't be labeled as a boy or a girl. Besides, she felt that this little boy hadn't even grown up yet and couldn't distinguish between boys and girls at all.

"This feeling is just too..."

For the first time, Dong Qing secretly gave himself a thumbs up for being a six-year-old child. Sure enough, children have all sorts of unimaginable privileges.

You can shamelessly act cute, you can act silly in their arms, and you won't be rejected by the pretty older sisters.

Don't ask Dongqing how he knows; he has already experienced it firsthand.

"Teacher, I'm a little sleepy." After saying that, Dongqing didn't wait for Bibi Dong's response. He hugged her jade-like neck and pretended to be asleep in her arms.

Looking at Dongqing, who was pretending to be asleep in her arms, Bibi Dong suddenly remembered something: he was an orphan taken in by Village Chief Jack.

According to information provided by the Notting City Martial Soul Branch Hall, Dong Qing was abandoned when he was still an infant, until he was found and raised by Village Chief Jack of Holy Soul Village.

Now it seems he sees her as a family member, like a mother, right? Thinking of this, a hint of affection appeared in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that Dongqing is very cute and will not be subconsciously rejected by Bibi Dong.

Meanwhile, Hu Liena glared at Dong Qing, surprised that he had actually become her junior brother. Her teacher was still treating him so well, whereas she had never hugged her before, and now that she was all grown up, it was even less likely.

In Douluo Continent, children under six years old, including those who are six years old, have normal height and build.

However, after the age of six, especially for children who have awakened their innate soul power, their bodies will enter a state of rapid development due to continuous cultivation of soul power. Around the age of twelve, they will have the physique and appearance of a sixteen-year-old.

When Bibi Dong carried the still-child Dong Qing into the Papal Palace, both Ju Hua Guan, who was waiting in place, and Gui Mei, who had already returned, had their eyes twitch involuntarily.

Goodness, anyone who didn't know better would think Dongqing was her illegitimate son, spoiling him like this from their very first meeting.

"Elder Gui, Elder Ju, pass on the word. Today I officially accept Dong Qing as my disciple, my second disciple, and bestow upon him the title of Holy Son of the Spirit Hall." Bibi Dong's voice was cold, yet possessed a unique charm.

"Yes, Your Majesty," Juhua Guan and Guimei replied, kneeling on one knee. Then, at Bibi Dong's signal, the two left the Papal Palace.

The Papal Palace was now empty, with only Dong Qing and Bibi Dong remaining. Hu Liena had already been sent away by her.

"Xiaoqing, stop pretending to be asleep in front of the teacher." Bibi Dong pinched Dongqing's nose.

Upon hearing this, Dongqing's ears twitched slightly, then he pretended to wake up from a deep sleep.

"Teacher, I wasn't pretending to be asleep," Dongqing said stubbornly.

He knew that such stubbornness was pointless, even a little naive. But isn't that what children are like?

As the saying goes, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.

In reality, overly intelligent children don't receive the love and care they deserve. Because you make them feel that they can live perfectly well without you, they naturally become less inclined to take care of you.

However, children who cry incessantly often receive more attention from their elders because the elders worry about their well-being. They also care for them as they grow, watching them mature day by day. This, in turn, makes the elders love and cherish them even more.

Because overly intelligent children cannot provide their elders with the sense of accomplishment they deserve, Dongqing wants to be an ordinary child.

really.

Hearing Dongqing's stubborn explanation, Bibi Dongfei wasn't angry; instead, she found him rather endearing.

"You brat, doesn't the teacher know you're pretending to be asleep?"

Bibi Dong pinched Dong Qing's little cheek.

"teacher...."

Dongqing nestled closer to Bibi Dong, a sly glint flashing in his eyes.

After playing around like that for a while, Lu Dongqing, who had been traveling all day, was really tired and unknowingly fell asleep in Bibi Dong's arms.

Looking at Dongqing's tender little face, Bibi Dong seemed to be deep in thought.

"Xiao Qing's talent is beyond doubt. He will at least become a Title Douluo-level powerhouse in the future. But is he a good match for Xue'er or Nana?"

Logically speaking, as a mother, she should naturally match this outstanding little boy with Qian Renxue. However, Hu Liena is also the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and the next successor to the Spirit Hall Pope in her heart. Moreover, both of them are her beloved children.

Although Qian Renxue and she didn't get along very well since childhood, she was still her daughter, and with blood ties, she naturally hoped that she would have a good home.

At the same time, Qian Renxue naturally had some feelings for Bibi Dong, otherwise why would she have spent so many years as an undercover agent for the Spirit Hall in the Heaven Dou Empire?

Over the years, Hu Liena has been raised by Bibi Dong as her daughter, so their relationship is naturally very close. Bibi Dong also hopes that Hu Liena will have a powerful husband, since her demon fox spirit is not suitable for combat.

Think about it.

Bibi Dong thought again of her terrible life and a heartless man who made her feel both love and hate.

Then she sighed helplessly, "Oh well! They might not like what the elders choose. Let them choose for themselves. I... I won't interfere in their future."

Time flies, and the next morning, the sun has just risen.

The Papal Palace, a side hall.

"Ah... I'm sleeping so soundly!"

Dong Qing stretched and got out of bed, but before he could get off, five or six hands suddenly appeared, pressed down on his shoulders, and began to change his clothes.

"Hey! What are you doing?" Dong Qing crossed his arms, looking wary.

There were three mature older women in front of him. The first one was a blonde woman, and the two behind her had black hair, but they looked alike and were clearly twin sisters.

Upon hearing this, the blonde woman covered her mouth and chuckled, then said, "Your Highness, don't be afraid. I was sent by His Holiness the Pope to take care of you. You can call me Mei Xiangxue."

"Li Yuemei, Li Yuexian," two black-haired women said, one after the other.

"Take care of me?" Dong Qing scratched his head, somewhat confused.

“That’s right. Although His Highness already has full innate soul power, he is still young. Now, Yue Xian, Yue Mei, and I are responsible for helping His Highness hunt for his first soul ring, and then we will send His Highness to the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy to report for duty.”

Mei Xiangxue has exquisite features, long golden wavy hair that falls to her waist, and a mature and charming figure. Now 36 years old, her soul power has reached the level of Soul Emperor at level 69.

Her martial soul is an ancient longsword. Although it is far inferior to the Seven Kill Sword of Sword Douluo Chenxin of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it can still be considered a decent weapon martial soul.

"Your Highness, please don't move around. Let us help you change your clothes."

As Li Yuexian and Li Yuemei spoke softly, they picked up the platinum-colored clothes beside them and put them on him one by one.

They are twin sisters, Li Yuemei is the older sister and Li Yuexian is the younger sister. They are a few years younger than Mei Xiangxue, and are currently twenty-nine years old. Their soul power has just reached the fifty-first level of Soul King.

Their martial souls are the Enhancement Orb and the Healing Orb, respectively. The elder sister, Li Yuemei, possesses the Enhancement Orb and is a support-type soul master. The younger sister, Li Yuexian, possesses the Healing Orb and is a healing-type soul master.

"Where's my teacher? Can't she take me to hunt for my first spirit ring?" Dong Qing asked.

He wanted to get closer to Bibi Dong a little longer and get some benefits from this teacher.

"Her Majesty the Pope is very busy. The Martial Soul Branch Halls located in the Heaven Dou Empire and the Star Luo Empire receive secret letters from time to time back to the Papal Palace in Martial Soul City, requiring Her Majesty to handle these political affairs in a timely manner. For the time being, she may not be able to spare time to accompany His Highness the Holy Son."

Mei Xiangxue explained patiently.

"I see! I understand..." Dongqing nodded.

No wonder it's His Majesty, not Your Majesty.

The former is a title of honor unique to emperors, while the latter is merely a title of honor. This also foreshadows Bibi Dong's ambition to establish a Martial Soul Empire in the future, because she wants to be a true empress.

Is this the result of a woman who has been hurt in a relationship devoting herself entirely to her career?

While Dong Qing was pondering, the clothes on his body were put on by the Li Yuemei and Li Yuexian sisters.

This is a perfectly fitting white-gold brocade robe, embroidered with patterns of various powerful soul beasts, and each button is made of precious gemstones.

"Um... Sister Mei, Sister Yuemei, Sister Yuexian, when are we going to hunt for our first spirit ring? I'm afraid it'll be too late to report to the Spirit Hall Elite Spirit Master Academy! The teachers there will hate me," Dongqing asked.

He had just thought about it and decided it would be better to call them "older sisters." The soul power emanating from the three of them was at least level 50 or higher.

My current small frame can't withstand their underhanded antics, so it's best to be a little more polite.

That one word, "sister."

Mei Xiangxue, Li Yuemei, and Li Yuexian were secretly delighted, and their expressions immediately softened.

"There's no need to rush the time to go to the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy. The most important thing now is to help Your Highness obtain your first soul ring."

"Finally, the three of us are actually teachers at the Spirit Hall Elite Soul Master Academy, and also His Highness the Holy Son's teachers. There's no need to worry that your teachers will dislike you, so how could we possibly dislike His Highness the Holy Son?"

Mei Xiangxue gently rubbed Dongqing's little head. She had a good impression of this cute little boy.

Huh? All three of you are my teachers?

Dong Qing was stunned. Good heavens, my teacher personally took care of my daily life. Even novels wouldn't dare to make something like this.

He was stunned, but that didn't mean the three of them were stunned too.
