Sunset Forest.
Su Chen looked at Ye Lingling holding his hand and couldn't help but ask:
"What's wrong?"
Ye Lingling smiled and casually replied: "Nothing. Sunset Forest is still quite dangerous, so I need you to protect me well."
"Absolutely!"
Su Chen nodded and gently squeezed Ye Lingling's soft, boneless little hand—it felt very comfortable.
[Since we're on the road, let's talk about Hu Liena—this love-brained, dumb, ungrateful wolf! Of course, I'm referring to the version of her before I showed up. After meeting me, her life naturally changed.]
[Just like Bibi Dong's life. Hu Liena, an orphan, was taken in by the Pope of the Spirit Hall and her status skyrocketed. Bibi Dong even gave all the maternal love she had for Qian Renxue to Hu Liena instead.]
[In fact, Bibi Dong often sighed: "Nana, if only you were my real daughter." Let me say on behalf of Qian Renxue—Gross!]
Crown Prince's Mansion.
Qian Renxue, reading this, really wanted to give Su Chen a big thumbs-up.
"You're absolutely right."
Actually—
In her earlier years, Qian Renxue was extremely jealous of Hu Liena due to Bibi Dong's favoritism.
She couldn't understand why her biological mother was so cold to her, yet so doting to a disciple?
Of course, jealousy never turned Qian Renxue evil. Her relationship with Hu Liena was still very good.
For example, this time, she had no hesitation in giving Hu Liena the reward.
[Hu Liena held the honor of the Spirit Hall in high regard. It was the Spirit Hall that raised her and her brother, trained them, and gave them everything they had. So on the day of her coming-of-age ceremony, she vowed to dedicate her entire life to the Spirit Hall.]
[Naturally, she didn't disappoint Bibi Dong. She reached level 40 soul power at 15. By 20, she broke through level 50 and after obtaining her fifth soul ring, she was awarded the Purple Record Medal by Bibi Dong herself, setting a record for the Spirit Hall. Alongside Xie Yue and Yan, they were dubbed the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall.]
[Sigh! Why do I always call this the "Romance Continent"? Just look—Hu Liena, who had a promising future, was derailed by a man. Yes, that little punk's appearance ruined everything.]
[It was around two years later during the Soul Master Tournament. Bibi Dong initially wanted to grant three soul bones directly to the Golden Generation, but was opposed by the Elder Hall. So she turned the three soul bones into the championship prize—lucky for Tang San.]
[That's right! The Spirit Hall's team, with power over level 50, lost to Tang San, the protagonist with plot armor. Ugh… The only reason Shrek won was because they ate immortal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, which evolved their martial spirits. I'm going to mow them down now, so they shouldn't have any more chances.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong had originally been puzzled. How could Tang San and his team be so powerful?
Even if Tang San was a transmigrator, the others weren't. How could they have defeated the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation?
Turns out, it was the immortal herbs and martial spirit evolution!
"Good! Very good!"
"Su Chen, Su Chen, I have to say—you finally did something worthwhile."
Bibi Dong was thrilled to learn that Su Chen was going to seize Tang San's opportunities.
Spirit Hall Branch.
Hu Liena finally understood what Su Chen meant by all that "mowing down" writing.
Immortal herbs? Martial spirit evolution?
There were such miraculous things?
Ahem.
Hopefully the criticism won't be too harsh—too much and I really can't take it.
[After the failure at the Soul Master Tournament, Hu Liena went to the City of Slaughter for training and met Tang San. At that time, Tang San was no longer that little dark-skinned boy.]
[As mentioned before, his mother was the 100,000-year Blue Silver Empress. Later, his Blue Silver Grass evolved into the Blue Silver Emperor, his appearance changed, and he assumed the alias Tang Yin.]
[The two of them trained in the City of Slaughter and together passed the Hell Road. In the process, Hu Liena fell in love.]
[Later, Hu Liena was appointed Saintess of the Spirit Hall. During a mission in the Star Dou Forest to capture Xiao Wu, Tang San used Hu Liena's feelings to successfully rescue Xiao Wu. Of course, they didn't escape either—Xiao Wu ended up sacrificing herself for Tang San.]
[At that point, Hu Liena caused Bibi Dong to lose her first 100,000-year soul ring. …And now, a commercial break—"Revive, my love!"]
[Because of Tang San's "eats with you then curses your mother" behavior, he destroyed the City of Slaughter after gaining the Killing God Domain and leaving, prompting the Slaughter King to chase them.]
[Later, while fleeing from the Slaughter King, Tang San saved Hu Liena. Still harboring feelings, she leaked information that Bibi Dong was hunting the Titan Giant Ape and the Sky Azure Bull Python in the Star Dou Forest.]
[As a result of Hu Liena's betrayal, Tang San intercepted the two 100,000-year soul rings that should have been Bibi Dong's.]
[So now, Hu Liena has caused Bibi Dong to lose three 100,000-year soul rings. I once commented—"This master-disciple pair from Spirit Hall with love brains never fails to disappoint!"]
[Alright, that's the story for today. I need to especially praise Master Bibi Dong. You could say she may have failed others in her life, but she absolutely never failed Hu Liena. She truly treated her like her own daughter, far better than how she treated her actual daughter, Qian Renxue!]
Spirit Hall Branch, Heaven Dou City.
Hu Liena felt like her world was falling apart.
"Su Chen! With the relationship we have now, you didn't even leave me a shred of dignity?"
It's over!
Can I even go back to the Spirit Hall now?
Hu Liena painfully clutched her forehead, unsure how she could ever face Bibi Dong again.
She caused her teacher to lose three 100,000-year soul rings—all of which ended up with Tang San.
"Damn it!"
"Tang San, if I don't kill you, I won't be able to face my teacher!"
"And you, Su Chen, you bastard—you exposed me completely without holding back! Just wait till you come back—I'll strip you bare and bite you to death!"
So mad. So mad!
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong was speechless.
"Nana?"
She was dumbfounded, realizing she liked Hu Liena so much and treated her like a daughter… because Hu Liena was just like her!
Bibi Dong chuckled bitterly: "You really are my disciple. Just as foolish and blind as your teacher!"
"Our master-disciple pair was completely ruined by that other master-disciple pair."
However—
Bibi Dong had a change of heart. That was all without Su Chen in the picture. Now that he was involved, none of that would happen.
Also… Hu Liena was now with Su Chen, indirectly tying him to the Spirit Hall.
Dealing with Tang San should now be much easier.
Bibi Dong felt a wave of relief. She never saw Tang San as a true threat, but things always felt strangely off. She couldn't help but be cautious.
