63: Meeting Bibi Dong
After Chrysanthemum Douluo left, Dai Mubai looked at the worried Shrek everyone and comforted them. He then called Zhu Zhuqing and Gu Yuena into the room.
"Zhu Qing, don't worry too much about me. The Pope calling me over is likely just to ask me to join Spirit Hall or something. We have Poison Douluo Mianxia as our backer right now, she won't do anything to me, don't worry."
Dai Mubai looked at the worried Zhu Zhuqing, pulled her into his arms, and comforted her softly. Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing also nodded in Dai Mubai's embrace, but after hesitating for a moment, she still offered her suggestion to Dai Mubai.
"Mu Bai, why don't you let Poison Douluo Mianxia go with you? The Pope is summoning you alone, I'm still a bit worried."
When Dai Mubai heard Zhu Zhuqing's suggestion, he couldn't help but smile bitterly inside. After all, Bibi Dong's strength at the moment, even if limited by the God's inheritance...
Her subordinates' Martial Soul fusion skill of Ghost and Chrysanthemum Douluo alone is enough to give Dugu Bo a tough time, not to mention that they are now in Spirit Hall, and if the current Pope intends to make a move.
The other Enshriners in Spirit Hall won't just watch, after all, it concerns the reputation of Spirit Hall.
When Tang Hao first came to Spirit Hall to save Tang San and Xiao Wu, Spirit Hall mobilized seven Title Douluo.
If Tang Hao hadn't primarily wanted to attack the Angel God statue in Spirit Hall, which aligned with Bibi Dong's intentions, even if Bibi Dong couldn't fully cooperate with the six Title Douluo due to the God's assessment, it would have been enough to kill Tang Hao several times over.
However, these things were obviously not suitable to tell Zhu Zhuqing, so Dai Mubai could only comfort Zhu Zhuqing further.
Only then did Zhu Zhuqing reluctantly leave the room. As for why Zhu Zhuqing could see Gu Yuena and Dai Mubai alone, it was because Dai Mubai had told her before that Gu Yuena was just a partner.
Moreover, from beginning to end, Gu Yuena always had a cold expression towards everyone. Except for matters related to cultivation or certain plans, she was rarely seen speaking.
Zhu Zhuqing didn't ask for details about the plan Dai Mubai mentioned, after all, there were too many variables before some things were finalized.
After Zhu Zhuqing went out, Gu Yuena gave Dai Mubai a silver dragon scale and, rarely, spoke with a slightly softer tone to give instructions.
"Gengjin Mianxia, this dragon scale can unleash one attack of a Peerless Douluo. If Bibi Dong intends to attack, use it directly. I will also summon fierce Soul Beasts to meet you."
Gu Yuena could also guess Bibi Dong's intentions to some extent. After all, being both in positions of power, what Bibi Dong intended to do seemed a bit childish in Gu Yuena's eyes.
If Bibi Dong weren't a God inheritor whom she needed to recruit in the future, Gu Yuena would be too lazy to play this childish game with Bibi Dong.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai also nodded slightly. Now that he had a trump card, the main purpose of meeting Bibi Dong was to delay her intention to start a war.
After all, the series of chain reactions caused by Bibi Dong starting a war ran counter to Dai Mubai's plan, so Dai Mubai naturally had to find a way to delay her plan for several years.
At least it shouldn't affect his own plan. While Dai Mubai was thinking this, he had unknowingly arrived outside the main Spirit Hall with Chrysanthemum Douluo.
And Chrysanthemum Douluo also gave Dai Mubai a lot of heartfelt advice about things to pay attention to.
Seeing this, Dai Mubai felt a bit of warmth. Although Chrysanthemum Douluo's goal was to take him as a disciple.
But the past three months were quite embarrassing for a Title Douluo.
However, Chrysanthemum Douluo did not make any threatening remarks or actions.
Although it might be due to considering Dugu Bo, doing so now clearly showed that he cared deeply about him.
After listening, Dai Mubai smiled and nodded, giving a response, and the two walked into the main Spirit Hall together.
After Bibi Dong dismissed Chrysanthemum Douluo, only the two of them remained in the main hall. Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes looked directly at Dai Mubai, her gaze sharp as if it could see into people's hearts.
But Dai Mubai was not afraid. There was no trace of nervousness in his eyes. On the contrary, when he looked at Bibi Dong, his eyes only showed the calm and composure that belonged to those in positions of power.
This was the first time Bibi Dong had encountered someone looking at her with such eyes since becoming Pope. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly, becoming curious.
That kind of gaze, which only the top-ranked Enshriners in Spirit Hall had when looking at her, actually appeared in a young Soul Master who was only a little over ten years old.
Bibi Dong's red lips parted, and she slowly spoke with a judgmental tone. The whole feeling she gave Dai Mubai was a majestic aura that emanated without anger.
"Dai Mubai, seeing this Pope, why do you not kneel?"
"Pope Mianxia, let's skip these meaningless questions and attempts to assert dominance. I don't think you called me here to waste each other's time."
Dai Mubai chose to ignore Bibi Dong's questioning and aura, as this was not the first time he had encountered such a situation.
Currently, Dai Mubai is the lord of the Soul Beast race. If it weren't for the reason of the Gods, his forces would be enough to sweep across the entire Douluo Continent, even Gu Yuena would have to give way to him, let alone Bibi Dong, who hadn't even stepped into the realm of a Peerless Douluo.
After speaking, Dai Mubai even yawned, fully displaying his impatience.
Seeing Dai Mubai's attitude, Bibi Dong did not feel angry. Instead, the corners of her mouth slightly curved upwards, revealing a captivating smile that could overthrow nations.
Dai Mubai's reaction was fitting for what had happened to him this year. Bibi Dong thought she had a ninety percent grasp on Dai Mubai's calculations.
"Heh, Dai Mubai, is it your God's inheritance that gives you the confidence to speak to this Pope like this?"
Bibi Dong spoke without hesitation, revealing Dai Mubai's "secret" with a tone that suggested she had everything under control.
Bibi Dong expected Dai Mubai's face to show fear, panic, or surprise after hearing this, but there was none.
Instead, after hearing Bibi Dong's words, Dai Mubai only showed a hint of a mocking smile, as if ridiculing Bibi Dong's naivety.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong was a bit displeased. Just as she intended to show her anger, Dai Mubai directly summoned his Gengjin White Tiger Martial Soul and attached it to himself, speaking Bibi Dong's secret in a calm tone.
"Pope Mianxia, no, perhaps 'Rakshasa God Inheritor' is more appropriate. You think you are a First-Level God inheritor, and as the Pope, do you really believe you have the ability to control this world?"
The Martial Soul Dai Mubai displayed caused Bibi Dong to momentarily freeze, because her Martial Soul felt a deep sense of suppression.
This feeling was even stronger than the pressure the Angel Martial Soul gave her. When Bibi Dong tried to resist using the Rakshasa God power within her body...
The feeling that truly made her freeze and disbelieve came. That's right, even the Rakshasa God power still had that feeling when facing Dai Mubai's Martial Soul.
That feeling of being suppressed, even when Bibi Dong used the small portion of Rakshasa God power she had obtained, did not improve at all.
At this moment, Bibi Dong realized that she knew nothing about this Soul King who was only a little over ten years old.
However, Bibi Dong still used her many years of experience in a high position and adjusted her state in just a few breaths.
Facing this Dai Mubai whose Martial Soul could suppress her Rakshasa God power and who easily spoke her secret.
Bibi Dong no longer had any trace of underestimation or the mindset that she could control him.
Instead, she immediately spoke with a questioning tone, but this time, Bibi Dong's posture was that of treating Dai Mubai as an equal.
"At least for now, isn't that right? The strength I currently possess gives me the ability to do all of this."
After speaking, Bibi Dong did not continue. After all, what she said was just the truth, of course, this was based on the premise that Dai Mubai was not her enemy.
Bibi Dong did not believe that Dai Mubai, who could directly reveal her biggest secret to her face with a single sentence, wouldn't have the capital to oppose her behind him.
"Do you think the world only consists of this continent?"
Dai Mubai looked at Bibi Dong, who had finally become more compliant, slowly withdrew his Martial Soul, and spoke again with a tone that questioned Bibi Dong's narrow perspective.
"There is also an island nation on the sea, but I heard there is a God enshrined there. This seat is simply not interested in that place."
Hearing Dai Mubai's tone, which seemed to question her limited vision, Bibi Dong immediately became unhappy and directly mentioned the existence of Sea God Island.
However, even if Bibi Dong truly became a God, she wouldn't really occupy Sea God Island. After all, it wasn't worth it to offend a God who had existed for many years for no reason.
And Dai Mubai couldn't help but sigh inwardly. He thought to himself, how could Bibi Dong in the original work not know about the existence of Sea God Island? Most likely, she was simply wary of the Sea God's long-standing fame and didn't want to offend him.
After all, when it came to Gods, Bibi Dong was almost the most knowledgeable existence in the original work, besides the three Peerless Douluo. After all, wasn't there an Angel God right in front of her?
However, Dai Mubai didn't dwell on this with Bibi Dong. He just spoke up to confirm something with Bibi Dong again.
"Pope Mianxia, are you sure?"
