Inside the secret chamber, Angel Douluo Qian Daoliu stood coldly, staring at the figure sitting cross-legged before him. His face was expressionless.
"I've told you before—stop playing with your filthy tricks."
"I gave you a chance. Don't take my kindness for granted. All evil is ultimately meaningless, and going one step further is blasphemy against justice!"
Interrupted mid-cultivation, Bibi Dong coughed twice, with a trace of blood at the corner of her lips.
"Cough, cough… Old man, it's just a matter of differing beliefs. Why talk about justice and evil?"
"But since you're the stronger one—whatever you say is justice."
She stood up and began walking out of the chamber, speaking casually:
"By the way, old man, where's my son?"
"Yesterday, I sensed the descent of two divine beings. Looks like my dear boy is truly gifted, huh?"
Qian Daoliu's expression darkened even further, his anger flaring.
"Just focus on fulfilling your responsibilities as Pope. As for Xiaoxue and Xiaofeng, I'll take care of them."
"If you dare try anything with them again—don't blame me for what happens next!"
With a cold snort, Qian Daoliu flicked his sleeve and left the chamber, leaving Bibi Dong behind.
The smile on her face disappeared instantly, replaced by a mocking, sarcastic sneer.
She walked quickly toward her Pope's throne, commanding:
"Someone, bring Hu Liena here."
Moments later, a girl around ten years old walked slowly into the hall. Her eyes were especially striking—always carrying a mysterious allure, a natural charm.
Because Bibi Dong had summoned her urgently, Hu Liena hadn't changed clothes. She was still wearing her training outfit.
Her top was a pink sports bra, faintly revealing the underlayer of her innerwear. Although just ten years old, her body had already begun developing, and her figure showed early signs of blooming beauty.
She wore tiny pink hot pants that emphasized the roundness of her hips. In just a few years, Hu Liena would surely grow into an unmatched beauty.
Even now, though not yet fully grown, her fox-like charm was already apparent. Her voice held a subtle seductiveness as she asked:
"Teacher, what do you need me for?"
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction. Hu Liena was her chosen prodigy—her ideal candidate for the future Saintess of Spirit Hall, and the rightful heir to its legacy.
She didn't care what kind of potential Qian Renxue or Qian Renfeng had.
In her eyes, the Angel Clan no longer deserved to rule Spirit Hall.
Even if the boy had been chosen by two gods, it didn't matter.
Bibi Dong had already reached the rank of Peerless Douluo. If she weren't holding back part of her strength to prepare for the divine trials, she might have challenged Qian Daoliu head-on by now.
"The young master is currently being trained in the Angel Temple. You know I'm busy and rarely have time to keep him company."
"If you're free, you can spend some time with him. Try to find out how many martial spirits he has, and what his innate soul power level is."
Her tone was casual, as though she wasn't concerned for Qian Renfeng personally, only his power and value.
Of course, Bibi Dong had her suspicions. The events of the past few days had been monumental. While weaker cultivators couldn't sense it, anyone above Titled Douluo, especially someone undergoing divine trials like Bibi Dong, could feel it.
Hu Liena frowned slightly. If Bibi Dong had asked her to hunt soul beasts in the Star Dou Forest, or even live there for a while, she'd have no objection.
But babysitting a boy four years younger than her? Playing with him?
She wasn't thrilled.
"Teacher, may I refuse?"
"I already feel like I don't have enough time to train. Why not send Yan instead? He likes kids."
Bibi Dong's gaze turned icy.
"So what I say doesn't count anymore?"
"Student doesn't dare! I'll go right away!"
Sensing the chill in her teacher's tone, Hu Liena quickly backed down and apologized. She had been training so diligently lately that she forgot—the woman on that throne was Spirit Hall's highest authority.
Who would dare defy the Pope?
Hu Liena stepped back, preparing to leave the Pope's Hall, but Bibi Dong added:
"No need to rush."
"He's currently being tutored by the Grand Worship. You can take some time to prepare."
"If you can get him to reveal which two gods chose him for inheritance, I'll reward you with a 10,000-year soul bone. Not just any soul bone—one that perfectly suits your body."
"I'll even hunt the soul beast myself to ensure it drops the right one for you."
Hu Liena's eyes widened in shock.
A soul bone of that level, personally selected for compatibility…
And all she had to do was coax some information out of a six-year-old?
It was like a pie falling from the sky.
She couldn't hide her joy and curtsied slightly toward Bibi Dong, smiling:
"Understood, Teacher. No matter what secrets the young master is hiding—I'll uncover them all!"
"I won't let you down!"
Meanwhile, in the Angel Temple.
Qian Daoliu continued patiently guiding Qian Renfeng through the most basic techniques.
Although Renfeng's soul power was sky-high, he lacked actual combat skills, techniques, or soul force control. That's why Daoliu's careful instruction was crucial.
Seven days later, the Angel God's voice echoed in Qian Renfeng's mind:
[Congratulations on completing the Angel God's Second Trial. Reward: Angel Domain — Holy Angel Sword!]
As her words fell, the sacred energy within the Angel Temple surged toward Qian Renfeng again. Qian Daoliu saw this and instantly broke into a cold sweat.
Oh no, not again?!
The divine aura of the temple wrapped around Renfeng, forming a glowing halo—like a soul ring—that was then absorbed into his body.
The Angel Domain was now his!
However, just like the Asura Domain, he wouldn't be able to unlock its full potential until he had absorbed seven soul rings.
Suddenly, the Angel God's voice returned with a new trial:
[Angel God's Third Trial: Resist the seductive charm of Spirit Hall's future Saintess. At the very least, do not reveal the secrets of the Angel God's divine trial. Revealing the Asura God's trial is allowed.]
[Reward: Full set of soul rings for the Six-Winged Angel martial spirit. Martial spirit evolution: Eight-Winged Angel!]
Right on cue, another voice followed:
[Asura God's Third Trial: Resist the seductive charm of Spirit Hall's Hu Liena—but also take some minor advantage while you're at it. Do not reveal the secrets of the Asura God's trial. Revealing the Angel God's trial is allowed.]
[Reward: Full set of soul rings for the Shura Demon Sword. Power of the weapon fully unlocked!]
