Douluo: Martial Soul White Tiger, I Am the White Emperor of Heaven!

Looking at the ecstatic Dai Chengfeng opposite her…

"It seems the soul skill gained from fusing with the spirit bone is quite impressive."

However, although Bibi Dong was intensely curious about the capabilities of this spatial-attribute spirit bone, she understood that…

For a soul master, whether it was the abilities granted by spirit rings or spirit bones, they were all secrets.

Thus, Bibi Dong didn't impulsively ask about it.

Moreover, there was another issue…

Bibi Dong's heart was in turmoil.

After all, now that Dai Chengfeng had obtained his fourth spirit ring, it meant that they would soon return to the Spirit Hall.

"But before we go back… should I take him to…"

Her gaze lowered slightly as she silently contemplated this in her mind.

At the same time, she unconsciously pursed her lips, and a faint blush crept up her earlobes, barely noticeable.

But ultimately, she reflected on the 'divine power' within her body—though it had surged briefly after that incident, it hadn't increased even a fraction since then.

"If this continues, five years definitely won't be enough."

With that thought, a resolute glint flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.

"For revenge!"

She took a deep breath, forcing herself to temporarily push aside all distracting thoughts about Yu Xiaogang.

In an instant, her gaze grew firm and sharp, leaving no trace of hesitation or confusion.

Turning to Dai Chengfeng, her voice was cold and clear:

"Now that you've obtained both your spirit ring and spirit bone, it's time for us to leave."

"Teacher, please wait a moment. I have something I'd like to discuss with Brother Ning."

"Make it quick."

Dai Chengfeng nodded. He first turned to Chen Xin, a sincere smile on his face:

"Senior Chen Xin, thank you for allowing me to take the Gale Void Tiger without resistance."

Although the Gale Void Tiger had technically been seized by Bibi Dong through her own strength and authority, as a Title Douluo, she could afford to disregard Chen Xin's feelings.

Dai Chengfeng couldn't.

Moreover, he wanted to establish goodwill with this Sword Douluo—perhaps one day it would prove useful.

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin looked at Dai Chengfeng with admiration: 'No wonder he's the Fourth Prince of the Star Luo Empire. Being so highly regarded by Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall, truly makes him extraordinary!'

'He handles everything meticulously, even considering my feelings…'

Compared to him, Rongrong seemed like an immature little girl.

It really was time to let Rongrong go out and experience the world!

Thinking this, Chen Xin waved his hand dismissively, a gentle smile on his face.

"You're welcome."

"In fact, you saved Rongrong earlier—it's our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect who should be thanking you."

Dai Chengfeng smiled. "It's only right."

Afterward, he turned to Ning Fengyuan, taking two steps forward with a serious expression.

"Brother Ning, I have a favor to ask."

Ning Fengyuan was momentarily surprised but then burst into hearty laughter, slapping Dai Chengfeng on the shoulder:

"Chengfeng, we've met before—you don't need to be so formal."

"Speak freely. If it's within my power, I'll do my best to help."

Ning Fengyuan's voice was filled with warmth. Looking at Dai Chengfeng, he felt great fondness for this young man who had helped his niece.

Dai Chengfeng nodded and leaned closer to Ning Fengyuan, speaking softly so only the two of them could hear:

"Brother Ning, I'm looking for an exceptionally high-quality earth-attribute treasure."

"It could be a medicinal herb, soil, rock…"

"I don't care what form it takes, but there's one condition!"

"It must be top-tier and contain only pure earth elements. Do you happen to have anything like that?"

Ning Fengyuan frowned upon hearing this: "A top-tier earth-attribute treasure, you say…"

He thought carefully for a moment, then checked his storage soul device thoroughly. Finally, Ning Fengyuan shook his head apologetically:

"Brother Chengfeng, I'm afraid I don't have anything that meets your requirements."

"Let me propose something else."

"When I return to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, I'll ask my cousin—Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of our sect."

"He might have something."

As he spoke, Ning Fengyuan patted his chest confidently: "Even if he doesn't, I'll make sure to keep an eye out for you in the merchant guilds. How's that sound?"

"I guarantee you won't be disappointed."

Dai Chengfeng nodded and gave a slight bow: "Then allow me to thank you in advance, Brother Ning."

With that, Dai Chengfeng turned to Bibi Dong: "Teacher, I've said all I needed to say."

"Mm, then let's go."

Bibi Dong responded indifferently, turning around and walking toward the distance.

Dai Chengfeng waved goodbye to Chen Xin, Ning Fengyuan, and Ning Rongrong, a relaxed smile on his face:

"The three of you, until we meet again."

Soon, their figures gradually disappeared into the dense forest, leaving Chen Xin and the others standing in place.

"Sigh!"

Ning Rongrong gazed at Dai Chengfeng's retreating back, her eyes filled with disappointment.

She pouted her rosy lips and placed her hands on her hips: "Jerk!"

"You had something to say to everyone except me…"

As the young mistress of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong was used to being doted on by everyone in the sect, getting whatever she wanted.

But today, not only had she been scolded for the first time, but she also hadn't received any special treatment.

This left her feeling frustrated.

"Hmph!"

Ning Rongrong snorted indignantly, stamping her foot. "Dai Chengfeng, we'll meet again."

"The Spirit Hall, huh?!"

Ning Rongrong silently committed the name to memory, a playful yet anticipatory glint flashing in her eyes.

---

After parting ways with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect members, Dai Chengfeng and Bibi Dong set up camp as the sky began to darken.

At the campsite…

The crackling of the campfire filled the air as Dai Chengfeng and Bibi Dong sat beside it.

Dai Chengfeng gently stroked Qiu'er, who had fallen asleep in his arms at some point, her tiny paws still clutching his shirt tightly, emitting soft snores.

At the same time, he turned to look at Bibi Dong beside him, asking quietly:

"Teacher, since I've already obtained my spirit ring, does this mean we'll set off for the Spirit Hall tomorrow?"

Bibi Dong was lost in thought, staring at the fire and silently contemplating her plans: 'Hopefully Yue Guan's arrangements won't disappoint me.'

Suddenly hearing Dai Chengfeng's question, she instinctively nodded but quickly realized what she was supposed to do.

She turned away, her voice carrying a hint of something she herself hadn't noticed.

Was it… guilt?

"We'll leave the day after tomorrow. It's rare for me to come out here. Tomorrow, let's spend one more day in the Great Star Dou Forest—explore a bit, enjoy the scenery…"

"Is that so?"

Dai Chengfeng nodded. "Whatever you say, Teacher."

Though he verbally agreed, Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but feel a bit suspicious.

He poked at a twig in the fire with his hand, watching the flickering flames while recalling Bibi Dong's unusual reaction just moments ago.

Spend another day, explore, enjoy the scenery?

Bibi Dong was the Pope of the Spirit Hall—a workaholic who normally spent every waking moment improving her strength and expanding her influence…

And now she was saying it was rare for her to come out here?

Such a flimsy excuse—what was she planning to do?
