346: Chapter 346 The Little Fox's Little Thoughts

Hu Liena's eyes curved into crescents, her small face rippling with a bright and genuine smile.

"Boss!"

Tian Yue also approached with light steps, her eyes shining as she went to meet him.

"Boss, you're finally back!"

Tian Yue crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him with her chin tilted up.

"Senior Brother!"

Hu Liena, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan surrounded Su Wen, looking at him with smiles.

They had all heard the news: the Clear Sky Sect had been wiped out, and even a super Douluo had died.

When the news reached them, they were all shocked.

That was a super Douluo, an existence at the very peak of the continent.

"A-Wen is truly amazing; the number one sect in the world is now completely a thing of the past."

"Heehee, what 'number one sect'? They were just a bunch of brutes."

Shui Binger stood nearby, watching them whisper amongst themselves. Glancing at the surrounding students' expressions, she coughed lightly and reminded them, "The matches are still going on. Why don't you chat later?"

Hu Liena pulled Su Wen to a rest area that had an excellent vantage point, allowing them to see everything on the Spirit Dueling Platform.

Although Spirit Hall had already finalized the roster for the Spirit Master Competition,

this didn't prevent an internal competition from being held within the academy.

Anyone who could defeat a member of the Golden Generation Team could take their place as a substitute or replacement.

The Golden Generation Team had six designated slots: Captain Su Wen, a Level 78 Battle Soul Master.

Vice-Captain Tian Yue, a Level 66 Spirit Emperor.

Member Hu Liena, a Level 66 Spirit Emperor.

Member Dugu Yan, a Level 64 Spirit Emperor.

Member Ye Lingling, a Level 62 Support Spirit Master.

Member Shui Binger, a Level 59 Battle Soul Master.

There were six official members, with Yan and Xie Yue at Level 57 as substitutes.

Sun Chuantao's Spirit was the Circular Giant Blade, a Level 52 attack system Spirit King.

Zhang Ping was a Level 51 agility-attack system Spirit King with the Golden-Waisted Swift Spirit.

Li Kai was Level 49.

Xu Yu was Level 48.

After deliberate cultivation, each of them was much stronger than they were in the original timeline, a fact Su Wen was quite satisfied with.

As long as any Spirit Hall Academy student could defeat them, they could take their place in the Spirit Master Competition.

The age limit was under twenty-five.

It was even permissible to challenge Su Wen.

The Dean of Spirit Hall Academy was extremely lenient with the students.

Unfortunately, so far, while some had challenged the substitutes, not a single person had initiated a duel against the official members.

On the Spirit Dueling Platform, students were only engaging in normal sparring.

As evening approached, Su Wen parted ways with the girls and returned to the Holy Sons Palace with Hu Liena.

The little fox clung to Su Wen's arm and spoke in a soft, sweet voice: "Senior Brother, Teacher's belly is getting big, and many people already know. Yanzi and the others know too. They even asked me when the Supreme Pontiff found a man, and some even wondered if she's keeping a male concubine."

Hu Liena's eyes twinkled mischievously: "Senior Brother, I really want to laugh. I so want to tell them. They can guess all they want, but they probably have no idea it's yours. Their expressions would definitely be priceless if they knew the truth."

As she spoke, she subconsciously touched her own lower abdomen. It was unclear if she was talking to Su Wen or muttering to herself: "If I were to have one too, their reactions then... I want to laugh just thinking about it..."

Su Wen was speechless: "You are currently in a critical period of your cultivation. Don't have such thoughts."

Hu Liena pursed her lips, her soft body almost pressing entirely against him.

Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness: "Senior Brother, it won't interfere. A mere year will pass very quickly."

Hu Liena looked at him with a flushed face and said something that made Su Wen's heart skip a beat.

"Don't you want to see what it's like for both the teacher and the disciple to have them at the same time?"

"Ahem!"

Just then, a slight cough sounded. Hu Liena's whole body trembled. When she turned around, Bibi Dong was standing behind them, though they hadn't noticed when she arrived.

She was no longer wearing her Supreme Pontiff attire, but rather an extremely loose garment that concealed her graceful figure and her belly.

She lacked some of the Supreme Pontiff's majesty, replaced by a touch of maternal radiance.

"Te—Teacher!"

Hu Liena instinctively let go of Su Wen, her face squeezing out a smile that looked worse than crying.

Did Teacher hear that?

Probably not, right?!

"Teacher, why are you here?"

Su Wen was also startled; he hadn't expected Bibi Dong to appear here.

"It's nothing. I just came to see how you are all doing at the academy."

"I also happened to make some dinner. Both of you, come over!"

Bibi Dong gave them a faint glance and said nothing more, turning around and walking away with her long legs.

Su Wen and Hu Liena exchanged a look and quickly followed. Hu Liena walked behind, feeling somewhat apprehensive.

Teacher just said she made dinner; it was the first time Hu Liena had ever heard of her teacher cooking personally.

Arriving at the Supreme Pontiff's courtyard, Hu Liena sat at the table nervously.

Teacher didn't know about her and her Senior Brother yet. Did Teacher actually hear them?

She looked at the table full of delicious food.

Hu Liena ate with a sense of trepidation, but fortunately, until the end, it was just casual conversation. Hu Liena breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Teacher hadn't heard what was said earlier.

"Teacher, your cooking is really good! This is the first time I've eaten a meal you made!"

"Teacher, it's getting late, so I'll head back to Cultivate now."

Hu Liena offered a couple of cheerful compliments and then prepared to take her leave.

"Nana!"

Bibi Dong put down her chopsticks, rested her arms on the table with her chin on the back of her hands, and asked unhurriedly: "I'm curious about something. I'm pregnant—aren't you curious about who the father is, Nana?"

"Ah?"

Hu Liena blinked, momentarily unsure how to respond.

She looked at Su Wen as if asking why Teacher was suddenly asking this.

Su Wen coughed: "Teacher, what's there to be curious about? As your disciples, we shouldn't interfere in your personal matters."

Bibi Dong looked at Su Wen without speaking, but her eyes were filled with pressure. The meaning in her gaze was clear: don't interrupt and don't speak.

Bibi Dong looked back at Hu Liena. Her face didn't show much emotion, but her expression clearly demanded an answer to her previous question.

"Teacher, this... that... who is the child's father?"

Hu Liena had known for a long time, which was why she had never asked.

Thinking about it now, it really was a bit odd; what kind of disciple wouldn't be concerned about their teacher?

But at this moment, she had no choice.

She could only brace herself and ask the question as a formality.

"You should know already, right?"

Bibi Dong looked at her, her face still expressionless.

"I... I don't know..."

Facing Bibi Dong's pressuring gaze, Hu Liena honestly changed her tune: "I know a little bit, but I don't know if it's true..."

Bibi Dong continued to press: "Oh? What do you know? Tell me!"

Hu Liena looked at Su Wen with a pleading gaze. Bibi Dong immediately glared at Su Wen, who was just about to speak up for Hu Liena.

Seeing this, Hu Liena's small fingers couldn't help but intertwine. She spoke cautiously: "There are... a few rumors about Teacher and Senior Brother... that's what I heard..."
