Ah Rou, still in her soul form, her brain instantly crashed. She abruptly shook her head, then flew backwards, looking at the two before her with utmost vigilance.
"What nonsense are you two talking about!?"
Ah Rou's soul floated gently in the air. Her pair of eyes, full of doubt, swept back and forth between Lin Feng and Bibi Dong, as if trying to find a trace of jest or a lie in their expressions.
However, what she saw were two pairs of sincere eyes, which made an indescribable complex emotion well up in her heart.
"Wait, let me process this..." Ah Rou raised her hand and rubbed her own temples. Although as a soul body, such an action had no real meaning, it could reflect the chaos and struggle in her heart.
"Our common lord... a little wife? And you, Bibi Dong, what on earth is going on with this old cow?"
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, her legs crossed, her arms folded over her chest. "Do you dare to finish the last half of that sentence?"
Ah Rou's brow raised. "I'm not wrong..."
"Hmm?"
Due to her current weakness, Ah Rou decided to first skip her accusation against Bibi Dong and quickly changed the subject. "Speaking of which, what exactly is my situation now? Can I really be revived with just a wisp of my soul remaining? I've never even heard of it."
Lin Feng informed her of the events that had transpired after her sacrifice, one by one.
"Is that so..." Ah Rou was silent for a moment. Her gaze gradually shifted from its initial shock to deep thought, finally settling on a kind of complex relief.
"Xiao Wu, is she alright?"
"Do you want to see her? I can bring her over for you."
Lin Feng's figure dissipated for a moment. A few minutes later, he returned, holding a rabbit by the back of its collar.
Xiao Wu's face was downcast, her four limbs drooping, her face full of despair. "Master, just talking about my human age, I'm already 9 years old. Isn't it too disrespectful for you to carry me like this? Didn't we agree that I could wander around in Spirit City as I pleased? You're not going to test me, are you? Your old self already has a master. It's not a big deal if my cultivation improves a little slower, right?"
As she spoke, she frantically ate the snacks in her hand, as if afraid someone would snatch them away.
The corner of Lin Feng's mouth twitched. He said helplessly, "Someone wants to see you. Also, I don't remember saying I took you as a disciple."
"See me?"
Ah Rou's soul trembled gently. She wanted to reach out and stroke Xiao Wu, but was powerless. "Xiao Wu, my child. I never thought you would also choose to transform."
Hearing Ah Rou's voice, Xiao Wu suddenly raised her head. Her pair of agile eyes were instantly filled with pleasant surprise and disbelief. "Mama! Is that you? Mama!" Xiao Wu struggled, wanting to break free from Lin Feng's hand and run to Ah Rou, but was unable to move due to his restraint.
Seeing this, Lin Feng chuckled lightly, released his hand, and let Xiao Wu be free.
Xiao Wu immediately flew to Ah Rou's side. Although she couldn't truly touch her, her soul seemed to be able to feel the warmth from her mother. With tears in her eyes, she rubbed her face against Ah Rou's in the void. "Mama, I missed you so much. I did as you said, cultivated hard, protected myself, and also protected everyone."
"Emmm," Ah Rou was at a loss for words for a moment. The tears of emotion and the words that were about to flow out were forcibly held back. Looking at Lin Feng's teasing gaze, she was annoyed in her heart. Others might not know Xiao Wu, but how could she, as her mother, not know?
This fellow, Xiao Wu, was the type who would never take the initiative to cultivate if she could eat, drink, and be merry. Before you said those words, couldn't you first wipe the greasy corner of your mouth?
Ah Rou's soul swayed gently. It was both helpless and doting. She said softly to Xiao Wu, "Alright, Xiao Wu. Mama knows your heart. It's really good to be able to see you again." She pointed at Xiao Wu's small mouth.
Xiao Wu giggled, embarrassedly wiped the corner of her mouth, and sure enough, found a trace of leftover snack residue. Her face immediately turned slightly red. "Um, I was just hungry."
Bibi Dong, on the high Pope's throne, supported her pretty head. Looking at this scene, she let out a laugh. Back then, Qian Renxue had even had a fight with her over the deep affection of this mother and daughter. Now, the two, from mother and daughter, had become sisters. Fate truly plays tricks on people.
However, since she had lost a daughter, then she would just have a real one. Her gaze towards Lin Feng carried a trace of amusement and expectation.
Xiao Wu knew how to change her face. Wiping away her tears and putting on a smile, she quickly turned around and came to Lin Feng's side, pulling one of his arms and shaking it back and forth. "Hehe, Master~ can my mother be revived? Can she, can she?"
Lin Feng put a hand to his forehead and pulled his arm away. "She can. Also, for the last time, I did not take you as a disciple. Why do you value this identity so much?"
Xiao Wu's face turned red. "It's easier to get around with a title. I heard you can even eat for free..."
Lin Feng's eyes widened. "You used my name to do this kind of thing?"
"Ahem, I haven't had the chance yet."
Lin Feng helplessly shook his head, his gaze turning to Ah Rou, his expression becoming serious and earnest. "Let's proceed with the revival now. I have already observed your soul's state. Under the nourishment of True Qi, it can develop rapidly."
Bibi Dong spoke up, "As for your physical body, Xiao Feng will extract a portion of the origin from my right leg bone and soul ring. The True Qi will trace back to the true origin, and with the help of the power of yin and yang, he will reshape your physical body."
Xiao Wu's eyes lit up. She suddenly felt that Bibi Dong was not so annoying after all. After all, for her mother to be able to be revived, this was a great good thing!
Lin Feng nodded, his tone carrying a trace of apology. "Between soul beasts and humans, they are mortal enemies under the rules of the plane. For you to have fallen back then was also within the rules. There is no great righteousness of right and wrong. But personal grudges are ultimately unavoidable. If you have any resentment or dissatisfaction, I can make compensation."
His gaze swept back and forth between Ah Rou and Xiao Wu, waiting for their response.
Xiao Wu opened her mouth, clearly not knowing what to say. For her, for her mother to be able to be revived was the greatest happiness. As for the other rights and wrongs, she was too lazy to think about them. Thus, she turned her head to look at Ah Rou.
Ah Rou's soul trembled gently, her eyes complex. She sighed lightly. "For you to be able to revive me, it should be that you have shown us a kindness. How could I feel dissatisfied?"
"For humans to hunt soul beasts to grow is an unchanging law of the Douluo Continent. Bibi Dong was also just acting according to common sense. Lin Feng, you are really very different from other humans."
"I have a question I want to ask you. Your skill, can it really allow the soul beast clan to break free from the shackles of fate?"
Lin Feng said with a straight face, "Self-condensing soul rings and Soul Veins. You should understand what this means."
A smile bloomed on Ah Rou's beautiful face. Her eyeballs rolled, and she bowed with a smile. "Then, greetings, Master-Consort." After seeing Xiao Wu, Ah Rou had completely believed what Lin Feng and the others had said, except for what Bibi Dong had said about Gu Yuena being Lin Feng's little wife.
What a joke. That was their Master, a legendary god. If they were to compare status, it should be Gu Yuena who was on top.
Although she had already let go of her past grudges, she didn't mind angering Bibi Dong a little.
"Pfft—cough."
A black line appeared on Lin Feng's forehead. He helplessly put a hand to his forehead, clearly surprised by Ah Rou's sudden form of address. And Bibi Dong, contrary to Ah Rou's expectation, did not show any displeasure, but on the contrary, let out a "pfft" laugh.
Ah Rou looked at Bibi Dong with some confusion. Shouldn't she be angry? What's going on?
Xiao Wu at the side covered her mouth and secretly laughed, her eyes full of cunning. She seemed to be enjoying this sudden dramatic turn of events.
I'm really fed up with this mother and daughter pair. They're carved from the same mold of being mischievous. Lin Feng hurriedly said, "Let's proceed with the revival now. With a physical body, it will be more convenient to talk."
Lin Feng's two hands formed a seal. A powerful True Qi surged out from within his body, circling around Ah Rou's soul. The True Qi was like a warm sun, shining on Ah Rou's fragile soul, making it gradually solidify.
The two qis of yin and yang intertwined in the air, forming a brilliant cocoon of light that tightly enveloped Ah Rou's soul. Within the cocoon of light, the True Qi and the power of yin and yang fused with each other, tracing back to Ah Rou's true origin from before her life from within Bibi Dong's soul bone and soul ring, slowly shaping a brand new physical body.
As time went by, the light of the cocoon of light gradually converged, and a familiar figure slowly appeared before everyone's eyes. Ah Rou—no, it should be said the reborn Ah Rou now. She stood there, her physical body intact, her aura solid.
"Mama!" Xiao Wu cheered and flew to Ah Rou, hugging her tightly. Ah Rou also tightly hugged Xiao Wu back, feeling her daughter's warmth and joy.
"Thank you, Lin Feng. And thank you, Bibi Dong," Ah Rou turned to the two and solemnly thanked them. Her voice was full of gratitude and sincerity. Without their help, she could not have been reborn.
The power of yin and yang circled around Ah Rou's body for a moment. Lin Feng withdrew it. Under Bibi Dong's somewhat surprised gaze, the two qis of yin and yang transformed into a speck of light and quietly gathered at the center of her brow.
"This body of yours cannot immediately return to the Titled Douluo level of your past life. Your cultivation at this time should be around that of a Soul Emperor, the state of just having transformed from a soul beast into a human. However, with this physical body as a foundation, plus your soul's power, I believe you will soon be able to recover to your former peak," Lin Feng explained.
"Mama, where are we going now?" Xiao Wu took Ah Rou's hand, her eyes full of expectation.
Ah Rou looked at Lin Feng and Bibi Dong, waiting for their instructions.
"You can go and wander around Spirit City first, to familiarize yourselves with the human world. After Ah Rou's cultivation has stabilized, we will then consider the next step. In addition, Xiao Wu knows some things about Na'er. You can ask her. She should summon you tomorrow," Lin Feng said.
Bibi Dong also nodded in agreement.
"Alright, then let's go and wander around Spirit City!" Xiao Wu cheered, took Ah Rou's hand, and ran outside.
Looking at the departing two, Lin Feng and Bibi Dong looked at each other and smiled.
Immediately, Lin Feng's expression turned serious. He walked before Bibi Dong. "Just now, when I was tracing back Ah Rou's true origin, I discovered another divine sense fluctuation within your body," Lin Feng's words made Bibi Dong's face change slightly.
"Another divine sense fluctuation? What does this mean?" Bibi Dong frowned and asked.
Lin Feng pondered for a moment and slowly said, "This divine sense fluctuation is very weak, but I can be sure that it does not belong to you. If I'm not mistaken, this should be the divine sense of the Rakshasa God."
"Rakshasa God?" Hearing this, Bibi Dong's willow-like brows furrowed tightly, a cold light flashing in her eyes. She gritted her teeth and said, "This bitch."
"Don't worry. I will help you deal with this divine sense. Her divine sense should not remain in your body any longer," Lin Feng looked at the place where the two qis of yin and yang had converged and continued, "Her divine sense's situation is very special. I don't know why it is in a state that is more like a half-dead state of deep sleep."
Bibi Dong was stunned. Only then did she remember that when the anchor point had changed back then, the Rakshasa God's suppression of her strength had been released. It had only left a residual spiritual suggestion and a part of her divine power in her body, as if it were a guest of honor, waiting for something.
"What stage has your divine trial progressed to?"
Bibi Dong's face turned black. "Still at the second trial. I have to first cultivate to Limit Douluo, and in the later stage of this process, begin to accept the erosion of the Rakshasa's divine power."
Speaking of this, Bibi Dong became angry. Qian Renxue, even if she wasn't the reincarnation of the Seraphim, just following the normal divine trial process, the divine trial could be started as a Soul Sage. It was said that the difficulty was also very small. When it came to her, the second trial required her to first cultivate to Limit Douluo? And she had to endure the erosion of divine power.
"To leave a divine sense on a successor is in itself a violation of the rules of the Divine Realm. She took advantage of a loophole when the divine trial was started back then. When I have shattered it, she will no longer be able to leave a divine sense on you. My power of yin and yang will protect your sea of consciousness."
As Lin Feng's words fell, his consciousness, along with the speck of light, entered Bibi Dong's sea of consciousness. Within the sea of consciousness was a vast spiritual world, with turbulent waves and undercurrents. This was the source of Bibi Dong's soul's power.
The moment the speck of light entered the sea of consciousness, it transformed into a powerful force and began to roam within Bibi Dong's sea of consciousness, like a careful physician, carefully checking every corner of her sea of consciousness, searching for the divine sense fluctuation that did not belong to her.
In just a moment, in the depths of the vast sea of consciousness, Lin Feng found the weak yet stubborn divine sense fluctuation. It was like a poisonous snake hidden in the dark, quietly waiting for an opportunity, ready to deal a fatal blow to Bibi Dong at any time.
Evil, death, cold and dark.
Lin Feng frowned. "To deal with you, I still have to use True Qi."
As an existence that could dissolve the Asura's divine power, True Qi was more than enough to deal with the Rakshasa God's divine sense. With a thought from Lin Feng, the True Qi transformed into a wisp of a fine thread, gently coiling around the evil and cold divine sense fluctuation, like the warm sun in spring gradually melting the cold ice in winter.
The Rakshasa God's divine sense seemed to have sensed the threat and began to struggle violently. The power of evil and coldness overflowed, trying to break free from the restraint of the True Qi. However, the True Qi was the purest and most powerful force within Lin Feng's body. How could it be so easily broken free from?
The current Lin Feng had long since achieved a demigod's body. His spiritual power was even more so. With the existence of the Innate Treasure Pearl in his spiritual sea, the two qis of yin and yang had even more so allowed his control over the spiritual and soul levels to reach a state of perfection.
Regarding the matter of Ah Rou's revival from a soul body, even the gods of the Divine Realm, who had not made any achievements in the domain of soul and spirit, could not achieve it as easily as Lin Feng.
Let alone that this was just a wisp of divine sense. Even if the Rakshasa God's main body's divine soul were to personally arrive, Lin Feng was also confident in maneuvering.
Not to mention that when a god descends to the lower realm, their strength will be suppressed.
Facing the resistance of this wisp of the Rakshasa's divine sense, Lin Feng just smiled faintly. The True Qi suddenly tightened, like a shackle, firmly locking this divine sense.
A series of miserable wails came from the divine sense. It was the voice of the Rakshasa God. She seemed to have felt an unprecedented fear and despair. However, Lin Feng was not moved in the slightest by this. He looked at this divine sense coldly, his heart full of disgust and contempt for the Rakshasa God.
The two qis of yin and yang transformed into a spiritual sharp blade. With a light swing, it cut the Rakshasa's divine sense into pieces. The fragments of the divine sense scattered in the sea of consciousness and were finally captured one by one by the True Qi, turning into nourishment for Bibi Dong's soul's power.
When the last wisp of the divine sense was completely cleared, Lin Feng's consciousness slowly withdrew from Bibi Dong's sea of consciousness. He opened his eyes and met Bibi Dong's eyes. From her eyes, he saw an unprecedented ease.
In the Divine Realm, in a temple that was soaked in blood and filled with evil thoughts, on the throne of the great hall, a peerlessly charming figure, her fair hand was constantly stroking her moving, delicate body. From time to time, strange sounds would come from her mouth.
In the demonic blood-red color, this scene was even more bewitching, yet it carried an indescribable coldness and danger. The figure was precisely the Rakshasa God. She fiercely opened her eyes, a trace of astonishment and anger flashing in her expression.
She had sensed that the divine sense she had left in Bibi Dong's body had been completely erased. The feeling of that connection being forcibly cut off made her almost go mad.
"Damn it! My divine sense... was actually shattered!" The Rakshasa God gritted her teeth, a ferocious look appearing on her beautiful face. "Who? Who dares to be so bold!" the Rakshasa God roared. The evil qi in the temple boiled, as if about to break through the sky.
Bibi Dong? No, impossible. She should have been enjoying the suggestion in that divine sense.
If not a god, then a Limit Douluo-level soul master who is proficient in the way of spirit and soul. Does the Douluo Continent have such an existence now?
Her brow was tightly locked. Her divine sense covered the Douluo Star, but found that the Douluo Star was enveloped in a layer of an invisible, faint green light screen, which prevented her divine sense from invading in the slightest.
"This is?"
She was taken aback.
Before she could think, what followed was an ethereal voice, clearly resounding in her ear, "Rakshasa! What are you trying to do?!"
