105: Brigitte: We meet again.

"Are foxes more fun, or are spiders more fun?"

Bibi Dong approached, wearing a pinkish-purple slip nightgown that clung to her delicate body, highlighting her graceful curves.

She extended her arm, and another spider crawled along it and onto Su Wen's head.

Su Wen was speechless, not knowing how to respond.

But watching the small spider crawl toward his face, its sharp legs touching his skin...

Su Wen swallowed nervously.

"Teacher, it won't sting me, will it?"

"Do you want to be stung?"

"No!"

"Then behave yourself!"

Bibi Dong lay down in the bed and pulled the covers over herself.

She covered her delicate body.

"Cultivate well. Also, you are not allowed to take them off. Your teacher wants to see if you can Cultivate without being distracted."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she waved her hand, and the lights in the room went out, plunging it into instant darkness.

Seeing Bibi Dong fall asleep just like that, Su Wen's face was filled with bitterness.

With several spiders crawling on his body, how could he possibly focus on Cultivating?

He reached out, tentatively trying to take them off, but the spiders immediately dodged and burrowed into his sleeves. The cold sensation against his skin gave him a wave of goosebumps.

After struggling with the spiders for an hour, Su Wen was exhausted.

He flopped down, not believing they would actually dare to bite him. He simply stopped caring and fell into a deep sleep.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes suddenly opened as she looked at Su Wen lying beside her.

Her fair, delicate fingertip lightly touched Su Wen's forehead, and the spiders followed her finger back onto her body, vanishing into a puff of smoke.

Bibi Dong did not pull her hand away.

She stroked his face, her crimson lips letting out a faint whisper: "You're almost grown up..."

...As the morning sun rose the next day, Hu Liena tiptoed into Bibi Dong's courtyard.

The door slowly opened. Su Wen looked at the sneaky Hu Liena and asked with a smile, "Nana, what are you doing here?"

"Senior Brother, Teacher didn't punish you, did she?"

Hu Liena glanced back at the room, but she couldn't see Bibi Dong through the crack in the door.

Su Wen thought for a moment. Did being tortured by little spiders for an hour count as a punishment?

"Let's go to the academy first. Teacher hasn't woken up yet; don't wake her up here."

"Senior Brother, when you Cultivate at Teacher's place, doesn't she watch you?"

It was no longer a secret that Senior Brother Cultivated at the Teacher's residence every day.

The people of Spirit City didn't find it strange.

After all, the attributes of this master and disciple were simply too compatible.

"No, every time I Cultivate, she's sleeping."

"Ah, Senior Brother is so pitiful. If I were trying to Cultivate and someone was sleeping next to me, I definitely wouldn't be able to concentrate."

The two of them ate something on the way to the Spirit Master Academy.

When they arrived at the academy's Soul Dueling Arena, today's matches had already begun.

Dugu Yan, Ye Lingling, and Tian Yue were already in their seats.

Dugu Yan was holding a box. Seeing Su Wen, she came over: "Your Highness, I made some snacks for you to try."

"Okay!"

Su Wen wasn't polite. Although he had just eaten, he could still manage some tea snacks.

"Eh? Yanzi, why did you bring food today?"

Hu Liena looked at her strangely.

"Tch, I wanted to eat some just now, but Yanzi wouldn't let me."

Tian Yue pouted unhappily from the side.

The sense of oddness in Hu Liena's eyes intensified.

Dugu Yan gave a light laugh and sat down next to Su Wen: "What's the big deal? It's just making some snacks!"

Hu Liena didn't say anything more, but Tian Yue leaned in curiously, wanting to see what was good. Su Wen reached out and flicked her forehead.

"As a lackey, you don't provide food and drink for the boss every day, and yet you want to steal from the boss?"

Tian Yue clutched her forehead, feeling a bit wronged: "You didn't tell me... wu!"

Before she could finish, Su Wen had already stuffed one of the snacks into her mouth: "Just sit there quietly..."

"Heehee, Boss still dotes on me. Mmm, so sweet!"

Tian Yue sat back in her seat and evaluated: "Yanzi's cooking is very soft, but there's a slight burnt taste, and there's too much sugar..."

Dugu Yan gave her a dirty look.

As they joked around, their attention turned to the matches below.

Hu Liena suggested going up first. After the match, she still had to see Xie Yue to give him the Spirit Bone.

The group took turns entering the arena, and Dugu Yan's situation caused quite a stir.

Her fourth spirit ring was also a ten-thousand-year one, her Spirit had mutated, and her Soul Power had jumped to Rank 47.

It could be said that the impact was even greater than Su Wen's performance yesterday.

Dugu Yan won four matches in a row; her powerful toxins were difficult to guard against.

Su Wen even saw greed in the eyes of several teachers and some students.

Dugu Yan naturally felt the shock and greed in the many gazes.

She knew how much of a temptation her changes were to those Spirit Masters.

But she also knew that as long as she was in Spirit City, no one would dare to move against her.

"Truly stunning!"

Liu Ruge clicked her tongue as she watched Dugu Yan return.

As a teacher, it was the first time she had seen such a Heaven-Defying change in a student.

And it was accomplished in a single night.

She felt that Dugu Yan's strength could now rank in the top five of the academy.

Liu Ruge looked at Su Wen, then at Hu Liena and the others.

She knew that the Supreme Pontiff must have mastered a method to attract spirit rings beyond their age limits.

Hu Liena's fourth spirit ring would likely be a ten-thousand-year one as well.

"Let's go, I'll take you all out for a big feast!"

After a day of matches, Tian Yue walked ahead excitedly.

She was very thrilled; it was another four-kill streak today.

Dugu Yan: "Yueer, if you're putting it that way, we won't be polite!"

Ye Lingling also nodded with a light smile.

"Hmph, this Young Miss has plenty of money."

Tian Yue pulled out a bag of gold coins and shook it in front of everyone.

"Boss, what are you looking at?"

Seeing that Su Wen wasn't paying attention to her, Tian Yue followed his gaze.

There stood a woman with long green hair and a jade-green feather hair accessory. Judging by her figure alone, she was a very beautiful woman.

"Boss, since when did you become so lecherous?"

Tian Yue pouted.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked over as well.

They were also shocked by the other party's appearance.

She was very beautiful.

Not at all inferior to the Supreme Pontiff.

Su Wen's head was a mess. Why was she here again?

It hadn't even been a few days.

He watched Bi Ji approach.

"You guys go ahead, she's here for me."

"Boss, you can't do that. If you do something out of line, we'll tell the Supreme Pontiff."

"Wen, you... you're still young. Wait two more years before... thinking about this..."

"Mm-hmm!"

Ye Lingling nodded in agreement.

Seeing the woman approach, Ye Lingling was very surprised. Besides the woman's looks, she even felt a very strong life force.

"What are you thinking..."

Su Wen was speechless hearing their words. He looked at the approaching Bi Ji in confusion: "Didn't we have an agreement?"

"I'm not here for you."

"I'm here to negotiate with your Supreme Pontiff!"
