13: Fox-eared woman

Under the surprised gazes of Bibi Dong and Hu Liena, the Wedding Dress Ghost Emperor Martial Soul became a giant entity one hundred meters tall.

Wearing a phoenix coronet and robes, with a red skirt trailing on the ground, blood dripped from its delicate, tender toes.

As the red veil on its head swayed in the wind, one could faintly see the Spirit's eyes emitting a hazy blood-red light, locking onto Bibi Dong.

With Bibi Dong at the center, a chilling wind blew incessantly, and Ghost Souls drifted toward her from time to time.

This affected Hu Liena nearby, making her small body tremble uncontrollably.

The Spirit was in a posture with hands folded and cupped together, and Su Wen stood in the center of the palms.

A red oil-paper umbrella and blood-colored Red Spider Lilies floated in the air around him.

The giant figure of the Spirit loomed over the sky of Spirit Hall.

Fierce Ghost Souls flew back and forth around it from time to time.

Su Wen had never imagined that his Spirit could become so large.

He looked down at the scene below; many Hall Guard Knights had been startled by him.

This was hardly a Spirit Possession; it was clearly a Spirit Guardian.

In these palms, he could feel his defense rate significantly increased.

The surrounding Ghost Souls were actually a means of mental interference.

He could command them.

"Dismiss your Spirit state!"

Bibi Dong's voice suddenly rang in Su Wen's ears.

Upon hearing this.

Su Wen followed Bibi Dong's instruction and dismissed his Spirit state.

As the Spirit shrank, he returned to the ground, exhaling a breath of turbid air, with a few beads of sweat on his forehead.

Bibi Dong stared at him, her red lips parting slightly: "Your Spirit is indeed quite special. The souls from earlier had a mental attack capability that could at least interfere with a Spirit Grandmaster or even a Spirit Elder, but your Soul Power consumption must be quite high, right?"

Su Wen nodded in admission. Although it wouldn't drain him completely, in that state, he was consuming Soul Power every single moment.

Bibi Dong affirmed: "It seems you can also add a spirit ring with mental attributes!"

"Senior Brother is so amazing!" Hu Liena was a bit scared, yet also somewhat envious.

Senior Brother's Spirit was actually an existence she had never heard of before.

The Spirit looked hauntingly beautiful, like a woman getting married, yet it was stained with blood and filled with evil.

Joy and calamity mixed together; Hu Liena had never seen such a scene.

Next, Bibi Dong continued with the lesson, and Su Wen and Hu Liena sat together, listening attentively.

As for the Hall Guard Knights who had been disturbed earlier, they did not come over to ask about the situation.

Su Wen knew that Bibi Dong must have used telepathic transmission to tell them to leave.

"Gurgle!"

Hu Liena's little stomach growled at an inopportune moment.

She lowered her head slightly, her face blushing, and her small hands nervously twisted the corner of her clothes.

"Teacher, I'm hungry!"

Seeing this, Su Wen casually patted his own stomach.

Bibi Dong felt that it was about time; she still had Supreme Pontiff affairs to attend to today.

She instructed: "Nana, you should first Cultivate to level ten, then come find me. I will have someone take you to obtain a spirit ring. After you both have your first spirit ring, I will teach you combat techniques. I will have someone bring food over in a moment."

After speaking, she walked out of the courtyard; as the Supreme Pontiff, there were too many things to keep busy with.

Su Wen took a piece of candy from his spirit tool, peeled it, and gently poked it into Hu Liena's moist, cherry-like mouth.

"Mmm!"

Hu Liena's fair, tender cheeks puffed up, and as she bit down gently with her teeth, it felt sweet.

Su Wen asked: "Nana, is your Spirit a Charming Fox? Let me take a look!"

"Mm!"

Hu Liena nodded slightly, and as she stood up, a gentle orange light appeared behind her.

The next moment.

A graceful, slender, and slightly lazy-looking fox appeared.

When Hu Liena summoned her Spirit, the blush on her small face faded slightly, replaced by a bit of pride.

"My Spirit Possession is not as powerful as Senior Brother's."

As she spoke, the Charming Fox merged into her body.

Hu Liena's soft fox ears emerged from between her hair on both sides, and a big, fluffy tail grew out from behind her.

Su Wen's eyes lit up; no wonder she had to pursue the path of Charm.

At such a young age, she already had the ability to "cuteness-overload" people to death.

"Ying!"

Her ears were suddenly grabbed, and Hu Liena's legs went soft; she moved a bit closer to Su Wen, sniffing the scent on Senior Brother, which had a very light, refreshing sweetness.

Su Wen gently pinched those fox ears, finding them hard to let go of.

However, thinking about the important matters to attend to, Su Wen reluctantly let go.

"Nana, Senior Brother won't be able to eat with you. I need to go to the Elder Palace. If you're tired, just rest in my room for a while."

"Mm!" Hu Liena retracted her Spirit, her little ears blushing red, and she said: "I live right next door to Senior Brother!"

Upon hearing this, Su Wen didn't say anything more; he greeted Hu Liena and immediately headed toward the Elder Palace.

Ten minutes later, Su Wen relied on the Elder token left to him by Aunt Ye to enter the area of the Elder Palace.

Passing by a courtyard with a flower bed, Su Wen saw it was planted with various flowers and plants, with chrysanthemums making up the majority.

A bewitching figure draped in a bright red robe was tinkering with the flowers and plants inside.

"You must be Su Wen, right? The current Disciple of the Supreme Pontiff?"

Looking like a woman, but speaking in an effeminate male voice.

Su Wen immediately guessed the other person's identity, seeing him staring at himself.

He immediately smiled, rubbed the back of his head with an embarrassed look: "I am. Senior actually knows me? May I ask who Senior is?"

"They all call me Chrysanthemum Douluo!" Chrysanthemum Douluo put down what he was holding and walked out of the courtyard with a bewitching gait.

"Eh, why haven't you eaten the Immortal Plant?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression suddenly changed.

He had naturally heard about the Immortal Plant matter.

Having learned that Spirit Kite Douluo had found three Immortal Plants.

Chrysanthemum Douluo had found her immediately.

Wanting to get one from them.

Unfortunately, Spirit Kite Douluo explained that the last one had already been given to the High Priest.

And the High Priest had already secretly sent it to some place.

Chrysanthemum Douluo didn't even have the chance to see the Immortal Plant.

According to Chrysanthemum Douluo's thoughts.

Since there were three Immortal Plants, Su Wen must have already consumed one.

But now, he hadn't.

"This... perhaps the one I ate was special!"

"This... that's really possible. After all, I've only heard of Immortal Plants and have never truly seen one. Some Immortal Plants are indeed quite special." Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded in agreement, then suddenly asked: "What did the Immortal Plant you consumed look like?"

Su Wen knew that Chrysanthemum Douluo had become suspicious, and this was not easy to answer.

He didn't know how Aunt Ye had answered Chrysanthemum Douluo.

In case the two of them said something different.

Su Wen simply avoided this topic, showing a look of curiosity: "Elder Ju actually knows whether I have eaten an Immortal Plant or not. Does Elder Ju eat Immortal Plants every day?"

Elder Ju's mouth twitched, his attention diverted: "You can't just eat Immortal Plants randomly. Moreover, each one is a unique gift from heaven, and obtaining one is a massive Opportunity. The reason I know whether you've eaten one is entirely because I have been in contact with flowers all year round, and plus my Spirit is of the Immortal Plant type, so I am quite sensitive to this aspect!"

"So... Elder Ju knows every Immortal Plant?"

Su Wen had originally wanted to find an Opportunity to have Aunt Ye borrow the immortal herb illustrated manual from Chrysanthemum Douluo, but it looked like that wouldn't be necessary; perhaps he could borrow it himself.
