26: Being with the East is like being with a tiger.

Bibi Dong looked at Su Wen in the yard with a look of astonishment. Before she could speak, Su Wen stood up and walked forward.

"Teacher, let's set off!"

"What is with this outfit of yours?"

Bibi Dong frowned slightly. Su Wen had shrouded himself in darkness; he looked somewhat like Ghost Douluo in his attire.

She reached out her fair hand and pulled the black robe off Su Wen, her beautiful eyes scanning him up and down.

Bibi Dong knew that Ghost Douluo wrapped himself in a black robe entirely because his body was affected by his Spirit.

Seeing that no mutation had occurred in Su Wen's body, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.

If he grew crooked because of this, it would be a waste of such a good-looking skin.

"Teacher, why are you taking off my clothes?"

Su Wen was confused.

"Hehe, I just wanted to see if there was anything shameful."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she turned her long legs and walked out of the yard. As her gauzy dress, thin as a cicada's wing, fluttered in the air, it brought a trail of fragrant wind.

"Hehe!"

Su Wen smiled without saying a word, wrapped himself in the black robe again, and followed behind.

Once they arrived outside the yard...

A surging yet gentle power radiated from Bibi Dong, enveloping Su Wen.

The next moment.

Bibi Dong took Su Wen into the air and flew towards the outskirts of Spirit City.

Su Wen grabbed blindly in the air, touched something soft, and was then gently held.

"Remember, once we reach the Star Dou Great Forest, you must watch and learn more."

"This time, the teacher is obtaining a spirit ring from a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. Witnessing it will be helpful to you in the future."

Bibi Dong held his hand, paused for a moment, and added: "See if you can contract another soul of a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. Existences that can grow to become Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts are very powerful. If you become a Titled Douluo in the future, taking on two opponents of the same rank at once won't be a problem."

Su Wen felt the warmth from her palm and watched the scenery retreating below.

Curiously, he asked: "Teacher... is it just you alone?"

"Why..." Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes, her red lips parting slightly: "Do you think I can't protect you?"

"Hehe, of course not..."

Su Wen scratched the back of his head and smiled: "I just heard that Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts are very powerful. Calling more people would make it smoother."

"Hehe!"

Bibi Dong gave a half-smile and then said: "Elder Ju and Elder Gui are already in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Su Wen stopped talking. Staying with Bibi Dong gave him a feeling that accompanying Dong was like accompanying a tiger.

A few hours later, the two arrived above the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Boom!"

Bibi Dong fired a signal into the sky.

Before long, a figure leaped out from the forest and arrived before Bibi Dong: "Greetings, Supreme Pontiff!"

Su Wen looked at the person. He was wearing a red robe, and his Spirit was a Giant Eagle.

Seven spirit rings surrounded him; he was clearly a Cardinal of the Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong looked at the man and asked: "Where are Elder Ju and Elder Gui?"

"Reporting to Supreme Pontiff, they are leading the group in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest searching for the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast. They've found some traces and specifically asked me to wait here for the Supreme Pontiff."

"Lead the way!"

"Yes!"

The three went deep into the Star Dou Great Forest. Within half an hour, under a thick tree, Su Wen saw two figures—one enchanting and one gloomy.

"Supreme Pontiff!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo came before Bibi Dong and bowed respectfully: "The traces of the Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast should be nearby. There are signs of life in the vicinity."

While speaking, the two subconsciously glanced at Su Wen.

They didn't understand why the Supreme Pontiff had brought him along!

..."Mama, Mama... many humans have come to the forest!"

Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, a snow-white rabbit with pink eyes scurried through the woods.

It had amazing jumping ability and agility, covering hundreds of meters in just a moment.

"Xiao Wu, you're being naughty again!"

A woman carrying a bamboo basket, dressed simply with a rounded face and the aura of a devoted wife, watched Xiao Wu running around with a mix of helplessness and doting in her eyes.

"Mama... humans, they are coming towards the Lake of Life!"

Xiao Wu came to A Rou's side and circled around her.

"Humans... they should just be passing through again. We'll just scare them away!"

"But they feel so strong... they are looking for something and are heading our way..."

Hearing this.

A Rou frowned. Humans usually didn't approach the Lake of Life because Da Ming and Er Ming were there. Even if someone dared to come out of curiosity, they would be driven away or killed.

Today, Da Ming and Er Ming happened to be away. These people were acting with purpose, and A Rou immediately felt a sense of crisis. Perhaps they were coming for her and Xiao Wu.

"Xiao Wu, we'll leave here first..."

A Rou said as she ran towards the Lake of Life, and Xiao Wu kicked off with her hind legs, catching up in a single jump.

Not long after they left, a Cardinal arrived at the spot.

He sniffed the surroundings a few times and then chased in that direction, not forgetting to release a signal before leaving.

In a short while, figures arrived one after another and spread out based on the left-behind clues.

"Teacher, why don't I see any Spirit Beasts nearby?"

Bibi Dong led Su Wen through the forest. After two or three hours of searching, the little fellow in her arms couldn't help but yawn.

She said calmly: "Generally, powerful Spirit Beasts have their own territories, especially Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beasts. Once another Spirit Beast enters, it's either driven away or killed. This means we're looking in the right place."

Su Wen didn't say anything more. As long as he didn't interfere too much, there shouldn't be any butterfly effect. It was only a matter of time before Bibi Dong found Xiao Wu and her mother.

"Bang!"

Just then, a signal came from afar, blooming with light in the sky.

Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo looked at each other, knowing this was the signal that the target had been found.

The two instantly accelerated, turning into streaks of light and disappearing from Su Wen's sight.

Bibi Dong was in no hurry, still traveling at a steady pace.

"Xiao Wen, you haven't seen your teacher's Martial Soul True Body yet, have you?"

Bibi Dong suddenly asked.

Su Wen wondered why Bibi Dong would suddenly ask this.

He shook his head: "No!"

"Good. After we return, write me a reflection on what you think after seeing my Martial Soul True Body... make it five hundred words!"

Su Wen's mouth twitched at Bibi Dong's words: What time is it and you're making me write an essay... and five hundred words at that? Do you think I look like five hundred words?

Su Wen felt it was strange. Why would Bibi Dong make such a request?

Suddenly.

He thought of how Bibi Dong's Martial Soul True Body merged with the Death Spider Emperor, looking completely different from her current beauty.

Su Wen's gaze became a bit strange. Could this woman be afraid that he would think she's ugly?

Or perhaps she was afraid of scaring him?

The Martial Soul True Body requires merging with some or even all characteristics of the Spirit.

Su Wen then thought about himself when he reached level seventy—would he have to wear a phoenix coronet and a bridal robe?
