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

In the central region of the Great Star Dou Forest…

The towering ancient trees blocked out the sky, their dense layers of leaves slicing the morning sunlight into fragmented patches of light. 

Combined with the mist that lingered in the early dawn, visibility was reduced to just over ten meters.

Amidst the forest, Bibi Dong, clad in a white dress, walked ahead. Her figure was curvaceous, her steps light and graceful.

Dai Chengfeng followed closely behind, occasionally casting glances at her back, his mind racing:

"We've been walking for half an hour already. Where exactly is Bibi Dong taking me?"

However, observing her gradually slowing pace and slightly quickened breathing due to tension, it seemed they were nearing their destination…

"Hmm?"

Just as Dai Chengfeng was deep in thought, suddenly, an exceptionally sweet floral scent wafted toward him.

Such a strong fragrance?

Dai Chengfeng narrowed his eyes and looked in the direction of the scent.

To his surprise, at some point, an endless sea of purple flowers had appeared directly in front of them. The blossoms resembled violets, vivid and dreamlike.

As a gentle breeze brushed past, the petals rippled like waves, and some even floated upward into the sky.

"What is this?"

Dai Chengfeng reached out to catch one of the floating petals, examining the peculiar flower he had never seen before. A hint of caution arose in his heart.

After all, how could such a vast field of flowers suddenly appear in the Great Star Dou Forest?

When something unusual occurs, there's always a reason—either a soul beast or Bibi Dong's arrangement…

With that thought, Dai Chengfeng quickly mobilized the spiritual energy within him, activating his Mind's Eye.

In an instant, his vision expanded outward like a flood, his heightened perception allowing him to take in everything around him.

The next moment, Dai Chengfeng sneered inwardly:

Sure enough, nothing out of the ordinary happens without a cause.

This flower field… was artificially arranged.

Moreover, judging by the traces left behind, it hadn't been set up long ago!

Although the person who arranged it had deliberately tidied up the ground afterward to conceal any signs of disturbance, it was futile.

Under the Mind's Eye, Dai Chengfeng's perception was amplified hundreds, if not thousands, of times. Every tiny detail was laid bare.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong also extended her spiritual senses, confirming that no one was nearby to disturb them. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

It's time to begin!

With that thought, Bibi Dong turned to Dai Chengfeng, who was feigning delight while "admiring" the sea of flowers, and said:

"Chengfeng, this flower field is beautiful. Accompany me inside for a walk."

Dai Chengfeng's heart tightened. This was likely the place Bibi Dong had brought him to.

Outwardly, however, he dared not show any signs of suspicion. Instead, he hesitated slightly, making one last attempt to resist:

"But Teacher, this flower field appeared so abruptly. Could it be dangerous?"

Bibi Dong shook her head, her expression leaving no room for argument: "With me here, even if a hundred-thousand-year soul beast were to appear, you needn't worry."

"What's there to fear?"

Dai Chengfeng inwardly sighed. He knew there was no escaping this today.

Very well!

As long as Bibi Dong still needed him to ascend to godhood, she wouldn't kill him.

So I'll see what kind of peril lies ahead…

With that thought, Dai Chengfeng agreed to Bibi Dong's suggestion: "Alright, Teacher. I'll accompany you inside."

"Mm."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a faint glimmer flashing in her eyes: Everything was ready.

This flower field was specially arranged by Bibi Dong, who had instructed Yue Guan, the Chrysanthemum Douluo, to transplant a vast expanse of hallucinogenic violets using the unique properties of his plant-type Martial Soul.

These flowers had a special effect—they induced hallucinations and caused mental confusion.

During this period, resistance to illusions would drop almost to zero.

"And I only need to guide my spiritual energy, combining it with the self-created illusion-type soul skill I found in the library: Spiritual Seed, to plant a long-term hypnotic suggestion in Dai Chengfeng's mind."

"In doing so, Dai Chengfeng will be completely under my control."

"From now on, whenever I want to absorb the divine power within him, it will only take a single thought."

"And throughout the entire process, he won't have the slightest idea…"

"This way, I can maintain complete control and avoid another uncontrollable situation like the one at the inn."

Thinking of that incident at the inn, where she had been kissed by Dai Chengfeng while drunk, Bibi Dong's face flushed slightly. But she quickly shook her head: Never mind. In hindsight, that wasn't truly losing control.

After all, what was about to happen was nothing out of the ordinary.

Bibi Dong stopped dwelling on it, stepping into the waist-high flower field. The pale purple petals gently brushed against her skirt, making her look like a fairy.

Dai Chengfeng followed closely behind, his gaze sweeping cautiously around the area.

The storage ring on his finger emitted a faint glow, ready to summon his weapon at a moment's notice to deal with any potential "danger."

One minute, two minutes, three minutes…

After entering the flower field, an eerie silence enveloped them. Bibi Dong remained silent, simply walking ahead.

Meanwhile, Dai Chengfeng grew increasingly puzzled about her intentions, becoming more cautious with every step, carefully observing his surroundings.

But soon, he suddenly felt his consciousness grow hazy, as if something was corroding his awareness. His eyes began to glaze over, and his steps grew sluggish.

However, the next moment…

Dai Chengfeng's Boundless Realm kicked in, and his mind quickly cleared.

These flowers induce hallucinations?

Dai Chengfeng was startled but quickly calmed down. A faint smile tugged at the corners of his lips, though it vanished almost instantly.

"If it's an illusion, then things are getting interesting!"

"Bibi Dong doesn't seem to know that I'm completely immune to illusions. My trump card must remain hidden until the critical moment when it can deliver the 'final blow'!"

Dai Chengfeng mused, a trace of amusement and anticipation rising in his heart.

Outwardly, however, he continued to feign being affected by the illusion. His eyes lost focus, and his steps became unsteady.

Thus, the two continued to walk through the flower field.

Bibi Dong remained expressionless as she walked ahead, while Dai Chengfeng followed behind, appearing "confused."

His eyes were unfocused, his steps faltering, as if he were a puppet on strings.

Finally, when they reached the very center of the hallucinogenic violet field, Bibi Dong stopped.

But Dai Chengfeng continued to mechanically walk forward.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. A diamond-shaped spiritual imprint appeared on her forehead, emitting an eerie purple glow.

"Stop, Dai Chengfeng."

As her words fell, Dai Chengfeng came to an abrupt halt, as if obeying a "command."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. "Indeed."

"Even soul masters with Soul Sage-level mental strength cannot fully resist the effects of the hallucinogenic violets."

With that, Bibi Dong glanced around and waved her hand.

Instantly, the surrounding hallucinogenic violets were bent by her soul power, forming a circular bed of flowers about two meters wide on the ground.
