107: Maid Brigitte?

"Bi Ji, you will live here with me from now on."

"Remember, the maids here must keep three major principles in mind!"

"First, be capable."

"Second, be capable."

"Third, still be capable."

Su Wen brought Bi Ji to his small courtyard, planning to set some rules first.

Perhaps if she got angry, she would run away.

That way, there would be one less knife at his throat.

He had already accepted the benefits.

There was no way he was giving them back.

"Isn't that the same thing?"

Bi Ji was puzzled.

"No, no..."

Su Wen wagged his finger in front of her.

"The first 'capable' means you have to keep this place clean. From the yard to the house, from my head to my toes—even my underwear must be washed spotlessly..."

Su Wen took a few steps back while observing Bi Ji's expression.

Seeing her nod and agree,

Su Wen realized he had underestimated her endurance.

"The second 'capable' means you have to warm the bed at night..."

Seeing Bi Ji actually nod, Su Wen's lips twitched. He pointed to a nearby room. "Pick any room you like. If you need anything, you can ask the maids or guards outside..."

"What about the third one?"

Seeing Su Wen return to his room looking somewhat dejected, Bi Ji chased after him to ask.

*Bang!*

The door slammed shut, shutting Bi Ji out.

"I haven't thought of it yet..."

Seeing this, Bibi Dong and Ye Yuaner, who had followed in secret, breathed a sigh of relief, a look of satisfaction appearing in their eyes.

Even though Bi Ji was staying in Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's wariness of her never diminished.

Ye Yuaner was the same, observing Bi Ji's every move every day.

As time passed, six months later, Su Wen, Hu Liena, Dugu Yan, Tian Yue, and Ye Lingling successively received the Purple Record Medal and entered the Golden Class.

Half a year later, Xie Yue joined the Golden Class.

Yan, Sun Chuantao, Li Kai, Zhang Ping, and Xu Yu showed their talent one after another at the Intermediate Spirit Master Academy, receiving significant attention from their instructors.

It was once again the annual day for free Spirit Awakening. The Spirit Hall square was filled with commoners' children.

When Su Wen went to the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Bibi Dong was reviewing the Spirit Awakening reports sent from various branch halls.

"Teacher, I want to go out for a trip!"

Su Wen knew that this year was the day Little San would awaken.

Xiao Wu would also be going to Nuoding Spirit Master Academy to study.

He didn't dare go to the Star Dou Great Forest.

Su Wen decided to intercept them directly at Nuoding Academy.

"Not allowed!"

Bibi Dong didn't even look up as she continued handling official business.

"I've been cooped up for a year!"

"Let your Disciple go out and blow off some steam!"

Su Wen came behind Bibi Dong and placed his hands on her fragrant shoulders.

He massaged them gently.

Bibi Dong's shoulders trembled slightly, and the tips of her ears turned red.

She didn't resist and continued correcting documents. "It's not time yet. We'll talk when you reach Spirit King. Right now, you're not capable enough to hold your own."

"Teacher, if I keep cultivating like this, I'll probably end up like those old men in the Hall of Worship!"

"Hehe, so you're saying you're too idle? In that case, starting tomorrow... no, starting now, help me handle the affairs of Spirit Hall."

Bibi Dong slowly stood up and moved away from the Supreme Pontiff's throne.

"What are you dazing for? Don't you want to take the Supreme Pontiff's seat?"

"Uh!"

Su Wen glanced at the dazzling Supreme Pontiff's throne; its golden radiance was truly evocative.

Anyone else would have been impatient to take it.

Not him.

It wasn't that he had no desire for power, but watching Bibi Dong work from morning till night gave him a headache. The Supreme Pontiff was basically a beast of burden.

Su Wen shook his head. "Teacher, you're still young. These are the years to work hard."

Bibi Dong sneered. "Hehe, why do I feel like you just don't want to help your teacher?"

"Actually, Nana is more suited than me..." Before Su Wen could finish, Bibi Dong glared the rest of his words back down. "Just say you're lazy..."

Having been seen through, Su Wen's skin was thick enough to tactfully change the subject. "Teacher, do you remember you were going to give me a gift after I reached level forty? I'm almost a Spirit King now."

Bibi Dong smiled slightly, a hint of playfulness in her eyes. "Didn't I already give it to you? I offered to make you the High Priest of the Rakshasa God, but you weren't willing."

"Teacher, I'm heading back now, haha!"

Su Wen felt he couldn't continue the conversation. He would just sneak away tomorrow.

As for the consequences...

He'd deal with them when he got back.

Returning to his courtyard, Bi Ji was pruning the flowers and plants.

Seeing Su Wen return, she stood up and brought hot tea from the house.

Bi Ji handed him the teacup. "You look like you have something on your mind!"

Su Wen took a sip and asked inexplicably, "Bi Ji, do you have parents?"

Bi Ji: "???"

Su Wen said, "If your parents were killed by an enemy, would you kill them outright or torture them?"

Bi Ji: "..."

Su Wen set down his teacup. "My choice would be to make their entire clan pay. Not a single person would die easily. I would make it so they can never enter Reincarnation for all eternity, suffering the torment of resentment..."

Bi Ji: "!"

"We're going out tomorrow. Remember, it has to be quiet."

"Boss, I heard that! Where are you going?"

Tian Yue stepped through the courtyard gate, hands on her hips, staring at him without blinking.

"What are you doing here at this time?"

Su Wen was speechless.

Tian Yue came up to him with a fawning look. "Boss, take me with you! I want to see the outside world too. I want to go to Heaven Dou City and travel around the Star Luo Empire..."

"I didn't say I was going out!" Su Wen avoided her gaze.

"You did say it! You said you were going to sneakily— mmmph..."

Su Wen covered her small mouth and gave her fair forehead a gentle flick. "Fine, but don't tell anyone."

"Okey-dokey!"

Tian Yue immediately patted her chest in guarantee.

She remembered her purpose. "Boss, I'm almost level fifty. I came to ask about my fifth spirit ring. Grandpa picked out two Spirit Beasts for me: a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear and a Golden Crocodile. I'm torn. I was thinking of getting a self-preservation skill for my fifth spirit ring, but then he found a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear."

Su Wen cut straight to the point. "What's there to choose? It's a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear! What, your Peak Douluo grandfather already caught it? As for self-preservation, you can get that for your Sixth Spirit Skill. After all, you might not encounter a Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear when you're looking for your sixth spirit ring."

"Mm-hmm, Boss, I'll listen to you. I'll have the Dark Gold Dreadclaw Bear sent to... mmmph! Mmmph!"

Before Tian Yue could finish, Su Wen covered her mouth again.

He felt a cold sweat and flicked Tian Yue's forehead again.

Bi Ji was right here.

Some things shouldn't be said carelessly.

"What's wrong?"

Bi Ji felt like it had something to do with her.

Although she heard "Spirit Beast," she didn't have many thoughts about it.

Humans hunted in the Star Dou Great Forest every day.

The number of Spirit Beasts dying daily was incalculable.

She was already used to it.

"Haha, it's nothing..."

Su Wen signaled Tian Yue not to talk nonsense. Seeing that she seemed to understand, he let go.

"We leave at dawn tomorrow."

"I'll go inform Aunt Ye first."
