Two years have passed. Lin Feng has become a Soul King.
There are only a few months left until the start of the original novel's plot.
Lin Feng had made his plans long ago, to use Ye Lingling as a fuse to attract the talented soul masters of the same generation to Spirit City.
A "department" like the Soul Vein Early Access Class would soon be established.
After several months of settling, the other factions would be completely unable to hold back.
Having enjoyed the blessing of Lin Feng's path, they had already deeply experienced the benefits brought by the Innate Soul Evolution Art.
Now that the latest results of the Soul Veins and the thousand-year second soul ring were out, how could they not be tempted?
They would probably fight to the death for a spot.
In Spirit City.
The Nine-Heart Begonia family was settled in a mansion that had been prepared for a long time.
Mother Ye, Lin Feng, Ling Yuan, Qian Renxue, and the others had been waiting for a long time.
"Mother, Brother Lin Feng, Sister Xue, Sister Ling Yuan."
Ye Lingling, in a blue dress, sweet and delicate, greeted the group.
"Is this the owner of the Sacred Heart Begonia? She doesn't look very strong."
A crisp voice sounded from behind Lin Feng and the others.
Dugu Yan poked her head out and carefully sized up Ye Lingling.
"Why do you look so dazed?"
"My name is Dugu Yan. Let's get to know each other."
As if by the entanglement of fate.
These two had finally met once again.
"Okay... My name is Ye Lingling."
Somewhat gentle and weak, Ye Lingling took the hand that Dugu Yan extended.
"I've heard about you for a long time. It seems you are the first person for whom Brother Lin Feng condensed a Soul Vein outside of Spirit Hall. Besides your mother."
"Mmm..."
After a simple handshake, the two began to converse, although most of the time it was Dugu Yan who controlled the conversation.
And Ye Lingling was just at the side, humming in agreement from time to time.
Ignoring these two, Lin Feng looked at Mother Ye and said:
"Long time no see. Actually, the date we originally planned to meet in public was supposed to be pushed back a little. But since Her Holiness the Pontiff has already given the order and the time is ripe, there is no need to delay any further. I will condense the fifth Soul Vein for you and Lingling's second Soul Vein. After this, you can appear in public at will and widely publicize the actual effects of the Soul Veins. However low-key you were before, you can be that high-profile now."
After a simple discussion with the Nine-Heart Begonia family, Lin Feng, Qian Renxue, and the others returned to the forest cabin.
Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong was already waiting there.
Bibi Dong watched Lin Feng walk over.
She gave him a look full of suggestion.
It made Lin Feng, who was currently standing next to Qian Renxue, feel uncomfortable all over.
"Xiao Feng, now that Ye Lingling has arrived, the matter of the whale glue should be ready to be announced to the public, right?"
She walked slowly towards Lin Feng with graceful steps.
And stood right in front of Lin Feng and Qian Renxue.
In front of this cabin, Bibi Dong had never worn her Pontiff robes. She had always worn her own casual clothes.
But today, her makeup and attire were exceptionally different.
Compared to the past, she had an extra bit of mature charm, her charming eyes like silk.
It made even Qian Renxue's heart skip a beat.
Watching Bibi Dong pull Lin Feng over to sit down as if no one else were there, a strange emotion rose in Qian Renxue's heart. She hurriedly chased after them and sat down with them.
In the process of walking to the table and chairs, Bibi Dong's fingers were always in a place where Qian Renxue couldn't see, using her small, smooth, and tender fingers to hook Lin Feng's palm.
"It's exciting, isn't it?"
Bibi Dong transmitted her voice.
Lin Feng pursed his lips and said nothing.
Bibi Dong chuckled twice in her heart.
She leaned back lazily and very casually.
Qian Renxue's eyebrow raised.
Is it my imagination? How does it feel like the two mounds in front of me are even bigger than before?
Can she still develop again at her age? Then is it possible for me too...
"Now that the matter of the Soul Veins has been announced, shouldn't Xiao Feng and the others' itinerary be pushed back a bit?"
In Bibi Dong's view, Lin Feng would definitely not just easily let go of the unfinished business in Spirit City and run off with Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan.
They had already traveled for so long before.
Had they not traveled enough? They should have gone all over the continent already.
Even if it was because Lin Feng was at a bottleneck with his own martial soul theory right now and needed inspiration from the outside world, there was no rush at this very moment.
He had, after all, just become a Soul King.
Even he could not avoid the fact that his soul power growth would slow down.
It was still a long way from becoming a Soul Emperor. When his sixth Soul Vein would be condensed, and where it would be condensed, was still unknown.
Even if, as he said, his Five Elements Soul Veins had the Innate Treasure Pearl, giving the most powerful amplification in his dantian, a 200% cultivation speed bonus...
That should still take a few years.
For herself, other matters were actually irrelevant. She just needed to delay Lin Feng's departure time a little.
She knew.
Ever since that day, Lin Feng had never come to the Pontiff's Hall to find her again.
In the past, there were still some official business matters, and she could be alone with Lin Feng. Now, he was truly avoiding her.
How could this be?
This was contrary to her will.
It was a good thing that he hadn't resisted when she held his hand just now. On the contrary, he was extremely compliant.
If he hadn't, I'm afraid I would have had to use some other means...
She knew she couldn't stop Lin Feng and the others from leaving.
But it didn't matter.
Stall. She just wanted to stall.
Before they left, she wanted to completely occupy a place in Lin Feng's heart.
To make him unable to forget her, and impossible for him to forget her.
True feelings are fiery and intense.
Once she truly occupied a position in his heart, it would only grow vigorously, like bamboo shoots after a spring rain.
By keeping them here as much as possible, she would have more opportunities.
Just that one time before, how could that be enough?
That feeling was truly intoxicating and fascinating, especially the way Lin Feng took the initiative in the second half.
It had completely captured her heart, making her sink into it.
Thinking and thinking.
Bibi Dong squinted her eyes.
The corners of her mouth had unconsciously lifted. She glanced at Qian Renxue at her side out of the corner of her eye and laughed twice in her heart.
I really didn't expect it, did you? I also tasted this fruit.
"I will arrange everything, but I do need to make a trip outside. It won't be too long, I'll be back in a few months. I have a speculation about my martial soul. It must be resolved as soon as possible. It will affect my future promotion space and growth path."
Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised.
This was something she had not heard Lin Feng talk about before.
"Hasn't your martial soul already evolved again? It changed its form. Why do you still need to research it? Isn't evolution a good thing?"
Lin Feng slowly shook his head.
But his gaze couldn't help but drift down to those cherry-like, round, vermilion lips.
The memory was too deep, the sensation too fiery. Even though several days had passed, the situation and feeling of that day were still deeply imprinted in his mind, unable to be erased.
His heart was becoming calmer and calmer...
These two main characters and himself were all sitting around this small table.
Actually, a scene like this had appeared long ago, but today, Lin Feng's heart was filled with a strange emotion.
Especially the psychological hints and telepathic messages Bibi Dong sent him from time to time.
Paired with her seemingly ripple-less expression, the word "contrast" had been taken to the extreme.
Does he think it's very proud and interesting to tease me in front of Qian Renxue?
How helpless!
!
He calmly moved Bibi Dong's jade foot, which had stretched out from under the table, to the side.
Lin Feng was panicking in his heart.
He hurriedly opened his mouth. "It's another matter, different from the Soul Veins. My martial soul and my body need something more than just Soul Veins. I need to go out for a walk and find some inspiration."
Bibi Dong took a sip of tea and said nonchalantly.
"What's the big deal? Spirit City is the most magnificent on the entire continent. The most vast main city. The Pontiff's Hall and the Douluo Hall even stand atop two mountain peaks. There's even a lake in the north. If you want to relax and seek inspiration, there are plenty of places to go. If you're seeking peace and serenity, that forest cabin of yours is a very good choice. Why must you go to the outside world?"
Lin Feng:
...
I can't just say that one of the factors is to hide from you.
For what you did to me a few days ago, don't you have any number in your heart?
Can't say it.
Can't escape.
I don't want to be so tragic.
If I'm sandwiched by you and Qian Renxue and Ling Yuan in this place every day, it would be a miracle if I could think of a countermeasure to deal with the relationship between the four of us.
My heart is in a complete mess.
"...Your Holiness, I think it's better for me to arrange the preliminary matters here, and then wait a few months before I come back and continue according to the plan."
Bibi Dong shook her pretty head:
"No, no, no, Xiao Feng. How can you be absent for matters involving the Soul Veins and the whale glue? What's more, Xue'er probably doesn't want to return to the outside world so soon."
Qian Renxue nodded, but then shook her head:
"I don't really want to, but I'll listen to Xiao Feng."
Bibi Dong was helpless in her heart. When did you become so obedient? A girl should be a bit more assertive. Especially towards Xiao Feng.
Sometimes, he likes to be a bit more passive...
Looking at Bibi Dong's increasingly dangerous eyes, Lin Feng sighed lightly in his heart, knowing that he could not escape this calamity.
"So be it. Then I'll wait until I've made the arrangements. The initial work of attracting people from the outside for the Soul Veins, I'll officially take it over for a period of time before I leave. The matter of the whale glue can be announced to the public today. Actually, there should already be some rumors in the outside world. Hu Liena and Dugu Yan's thousand-year second rings were revealed early on in the Spirit Hall's elementary academy. I don't believe that no one has exposed this to the outside."
Bibi Dong sneered.
"So what if they know? The means of shaping a thousand-year Soul Vein are only known to us. Now that we're making it public, we've already left them far behind."
"True..."
Those nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire, not having whale glue to use in their bedroom affairs for these few years...
They must be feeling very uncomfortable.
However, it's really unknown how much they will regret it once the effects of the whale glue are known to them.
"Then it's settled. Xiao Feng, you should first handle the upcoming affairs to perfection before you leave. Remember, because the announcements of both the whale glue and the Soul Veins have to go through my Pontiff's Hall... Therefore, during this time, you will have to come to my Pontiff's Hall often for debriefings and discussions."
A smile was on Bibi Dong's face.
This smile seemed to be aimed at both Qian Renxue and Lin Feng.
Lin Feng swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
He felt as if he were just a little lamb.
He had already been targeted by a big gray wolf with a bottomless stomach.
He wanted to escape, but he couldn't~
Qian Renxue frowned slightly as she watched Bibi Dong and Lin Feng converse.
Is it my imagination?
How does it feel like the relationship between the two of them is a bit better than before? Has Lin Feng completely let down his guard against her, or is there something else?
This harmonious and seemingly casual conversation process, the tone between the two...
It was just like old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, very tacit.
......
"You want to leave?"
In the Pontiff's Hall, Bibi Dong asked softly.
Lin Feng was somewhat helpless.
The solution to today's topics for discussion has already been written on your scroll.
Why are you still keeping me from leaving?
Bibi Dong took Lin Feng's hand.
"Come into the room with me..."
"Your Holiness!"
"Hmm?"
Bibi Dong's fair hand tightened.
A dangerous light appeared in her eyes, staring intently at Lin Feng.
"Now there are only the two of us. What should you call me?"
"...Dong..."
"...'er..."
Only then did Bibi Dong show a satisfied expression.
She gently pinched Lin Feng's cheek.
"Well said, I'm very satisfied.
But there are also some small regrets.
This time...
The interval between your two words was longer than last time.
I don't like it very much. Next time, or the time after that, I need to hear you say it completely, without any pause.
Okay, Xiao Feng?"
Bibi Dong ignored the silent Lin Feng.
She directly shot out a stream of soul power, imprisoning Lin Feng's body.
A second blooming of the plum blossom.
The soul skill of the Spider Web Bondage had imprisoned Lin Feng's body here.
Lin Feng spoke with some helplessness.
"I don't like this. You can just remove the bondage. I won't resist."
Bibi Dong squinted her eyes, the corners of her mouth slightly lifted.
She released all the restraints on Lin Feng's body at once.
Immediately, she removed her own restraints.
And buried her entire body in his chest.
"In that case, then you carry me there.
Hold me tight, understand?"
Bibi Dong gave Lin Feng's earlobe a light bite.
A tingling sensation instantly spread throughout Lin Feng's body.
He sighed lightly in his heart.
He really couldn't go back.
At least during these days in Spirit City, he was afraid he would be frequently captured by Bibi Dong.
His identity and the affairs he had to handle...
Were all reasons and excuses for her to summon him.
In this purple room, it seemed the lingering scent from last time was still present.
"Kiss me..."
It's unknown where Bibi Dong learned it from, but she released a poison sting from her martial soul.
It gave Lin Feng a light prick.
Lin Feng felt his spirit also begin to become hazy.
This feeling was like a charm.
Intoxicating and intoxicating.
Affecting his spirit.

TLNote: Bruh, you're too passive. Just do it, if you can't then take a walk and come back again.
