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

The moonlight shimmered like water, its silvery glow softly illuminating every corner of the campsite. The bright full moon hung high in the vast night sky.

After an unknown amount of time, dinner had come to an end.

As for Qiu'er, the little glutton—there was no need to say anything more.

This was her first time tasting human cuisine, and she was already questioning her entire existence.

Her golden fur around her mouth and chin was smeared with sauce, and her face radiated pure satisfaction.

Meow! What kind of miserable life had she been living before?

Even Bibi Dong, who had initially tried to maintain some semblance of her dignity as Pope, was ultimately won over by Dai Chengfeng's culinary skills.

After eating dry rations for so long, suddenly indulging in such a delicious dish was enough to make anyone—even someone as indifferent to food as her—lose control momentarily.

In the end, Dai Chengfeng barely ate a few bites of the sweet-and-sour mandarin fish he had prepared; it was almost entirely devoured by Bibi Dong and Qiu'er.

Meow~

At this moment, Qiu'er patted her slightly swollen little belly, curled up on the wooden stump, her face brimming with contentment.

Bibi Dong, on the other hand, elegantly wiped the sauce from the corner of her mouth with her slender, pale fingers. Her movements were graceful, yet carried a hint of subtle satisfaction.

Perhaps she truly hadn't had enough.

She even parted her lips slightly, placing her delicate finger into her mouth and gently sucking on it…

Gulp~

Dai Chengfeng, watching Bibi Dong's alluring gesture, unconsciously swallowed.

But soon, he suppressed the fluttering in his heart:

"Teacher, are you satisfied?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong glanced at Dai Chengfeng's teasing gaze, her movements stiffening slightly. A flicker of unease passed through her eyes.

But quickly, she pretended nothing was amiss, stood up gracefully, and raised her chin slightly, her tone carrying a trace of coldness:

"Your cooking is only passable. There's still plenty of room for improvement."

With that, she turned and walked toward her tent.

Dai Chengfeng watched her retreating figure, a sly smile tugging at the corners of his lips. In a teasing tone, he called out loudly:

"Teacher, I understand. I'll work harder."

Bibi Dong didn't turn back, but her footsteps unconsciously quickened.

"My teacher…"

After a long while, Dai Chengfeng chuckled and shook his head.

Then, reaching out, he picked up Qiu'er by the scruff of her neck, lifting her from the wooden stump and cradling her in his arms.

Meow?

Qiu'er looked at Dai Chengfeng, puzzled.

As they walked toward the nearby river, Dai Chengfeng spoke with feigned annoyance:

"You're covered in the smell of fish. If you don't wash up properly, I'm not letting you sleep with me tonight."

Meow meow~

Qiu'er let out a pitiful little cry, as if saying: It's not my fault—it's because your cooking was too delicious!

"Not your fault, then? Whose fault is it?"

Dai Chengfeng reached out and lightly tapped her small head.

Soon, the two arrived at the riverside. The sound of flowing water filled the air.

What exactly happened next remains unclear. About half an hour later, under the moonlight…

Sssshhh~

Dai Chengfeng carried Qiu'er, now transformed into her humanoid form with long blue-pink hair, back toward his tent.

By now, Qiu'er had clearly been thoroughly cleaned.

Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes hazy, and her gaze shimmered like rippling water.

Her damp blue-pink hair hung loosely in Dai Chengfeng's arms, swaying gently with each step he took.

Her figure was delicate and curvaceous, glistening faintly under the moonlight without being dried off, droplets of water still trickling down her skin…

Her long, fair legs were perfectly sculpted, her dainty feet adorned with ten adorable little toes curling tightly.

---

The next morning, just before dawn.

The sky was still dimly lit, and a thin layer of mist hovered over the tranquil forest.

Inside the tent, Dai Chengfeng was still asleep, his brows slightly furrowed, as if dreaming of something unpleasant.

Meanwhile, Qiu'er nestled in his arms slept soundly, her tiny paws occasionally twitching.

Tap tap tap~

The sound of high heels stepping on gravel echoed through the quiet morning, distinct and clear.

"Chengfeng, are you awake?"

A familiar voice rang out—it was Bibi Dong.

Dai Chengfeng's consciousness was still hazy, but upon hearing Bibi Dong's voice, he instantly became somewhat alert.

He quickly opened his eyes and responded:

"Teacher, do you need me?"

"Mm, come walk with me."

Outside the tent, Bibi Dong's voice remained calm and cool.

But soon, as if recalling something, a fleeting emotion crossed her eyes:

"Oh, and leave your pet behind."

Not bringing Qiu'er?

Hearing this, Dai Chengfeng frowned slightly, his heart tightening.

Why doesn't she want me to bring Qiu'er?

Is she worried about being disturbed by Qiu'er?

If that's the case, does this mean Bibi Dong is finally going to start her plan?

Finally, I'll get to know…

What exactly she intends to do by staying an extra day!

For a moment, Dai Chengfeng's heart was both excited and tense.

But outwardly, he quickly composed himself and replied naturally:

"Of course, Teacher. Please wait a moment."

With that, he gently lifted the blanket, careful not to wake the still-sleeping Qiu'er as he got up.

Meow meow?

However, Qiu'er sensed Dai Chengfeng's movements. She slowly opened her eyes, her gaze filled with confusion.

Dai Chengfeng smiled and gently rubbed her head, speaking softly:

"Be good, keep sleeping. I'll be back soon."

Meow~

Qiu'er meowed once more, her voice tinged with drowsiness. She smacked her tiny lips and drifted back into a deep slumber.

Looking at Qiu'er's adorable expression, Dai Chengfeng couldn't help but chuckle wryly.

"You little one…"

Soon, he tidied up his clothes and stepped out of the tent.

At this moment, the first rays of dawn had just begun to rise, and the mist had yet to fully dissipate.

Through the morning haze, Bibi Dong's figure appeared faintly.

Unconsciously, a flash of admiration crossed Dai Chengfeng's eyes.

Today, Bibi Dong wasn't dressed in her usual Pope attire.

Below, she wore a short white skirt that ended just above her knees.

As the breeze brushed past, the hem of her skirt fluttered gently, occasionally revealing her long, elegant legs.

Above, she wore a delicate pink top, slightly unbuttoned at the collar, exposing her refined collarbone and a hint of fair skin.

Her neck was long and graceful, its lines reminiscent of a swan.

Her face was breathtakingly beautiful, and in the morning mist, her features gained an unexpected ethereal quality.

Coupled with the cold nobility in her eyes, she seemed as though nothing in the world could enter her gaze.

Seeing Dai Chengfeng staring at her, slightly dazed, Bibi Dong showed no signs of shyness or irritation this time.

Instead, she let out a soft sigh.

"Shall we go?"

When Bibi Dong spoke, Dai Chengfeng snapped back to reality and quickly nodded:

"Alright, Teacher. Let's go."

Bibi Dong said no more, subtly confirming their direction before leading Dai Chengfeng northwest.

Dai Chengfeng followed closely behind her.

"Hopefully Yue Guan's preparations won't disappoint me."

"With such an environment, even though Dai Chengfeng possesses Soul Sage-level mental strength, as long as he can't completely ignore illusions…"

Bibi Dong took a deep breath, silently murmuring to herself.
