Chapter 22 Bibi Dong: Would you like to become my disciple?
"The opportunity was good."
Bibi Dong revealed a stunning smile, not intending to ask any further questions, but instead parted her lips slightly: "You don't need to hide your soul power level either."
"Um."
Gu Changge nodded and no longer concealed his soul power.
Gu Changge's soul power, which should have been level 15, immediately jumped to level 20 as he stopped concealing it. He was only one soul ring away from becoming a Great Soul Master.
Bibi Dong was not surprised by this scene.
"With innate full soul power, the fusion of the first soul ring in nine hundred years, and the Shadow Mantis that is compatible with the Thousand Blade Martial Soul, its level should have increased by four levels."
"With the energy of the right leg bone accumulated over 20,000 years, it's definitely not just level 20; it should be around level 22 or 23."
"Of course, that's assuming it really is 20,000 years."
Bibi Dong stared at Gu Changge with her beautiful eyes, preparing to scare this boy she found interesting.
However, Gu Changge remained unmoved this time, his eyes showing no change.
Bibi Dong watched for a while, then looked away and continued, "With your current strength, the second ring must be at the thousand-year level, so your soul power can still be increased by a few more levels."
"At the age of awakening his martial soul, he is already close to becoming a Soul Master."
"Gu Changge, you're quite good."
"Your Holiness the Pope flatters me. Changge was just lucky." Gu Changge's lips twitched, and a smile appeared on his face for the first time.
"Just lucky?"
Bibi Dong smiled, cutting to the chase, and asked meaningfully, "Gu Changge, would you be willing to become my disciple?"
"willing."
Gu Changge agreed without hesitation and immediately became his disciple: "Disciple Changge greets Master!"
Given his current situation, any refusal he makes will most likely end badly.
Furthermore, there was no reason to refuse Bibi Dong.
He became Bibi Dong's disciple, enjoying the best cultivation resources and improving his strength at the fastest speed.
Putting aside the former, cultivation resources were one of his reasons for joining the Spirit Hall.
"Good child, get up."
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, placed her jade-like hand on Gu Changge's shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Changge, your teacher is asking you, what is the lifespan of your right leg bone?"
Gu Changge: "..."
Can't you just not be so curious?
Everyone has secrets, and digging so deeply into them is really hard to accept.
"What, afraid the teacher will break your legs?" Bibi Dong smiled and teased.
Gu Changge: "..."
Since you already know, why are you asking?
That's because I'm afraid you'll break my legs.
"Giggle."
Bibi Dong chuckled, her delicate shoulders swaying slightly.
For some reason, she liked seeing the 'little adult' Gu Changge show signs of panic, helplessness, and nervousness.
This would make her find it very interesting.
Gu Changge remained silent for a long time before speaking softly, "Teacher, your curious look is tarnishing my image of you as a goddess."
"Oh?"
Bibi Dong looked at Gu Changge in surprise, her eyes narrowing slightly: "I didn't realize that Changge, who is usually so taciturn, could say such pleasing things."
Though he said that, his eyes betrayed his undisguised joy.
Even though she knew Gu Changge was being 'sweet-talking,' she was still a woman, and hearing such praise from a male disciple made her feel happy without even realizing it.
"Although I am taciturn, I speak the truth." Gu Changge smiled faintly and continued his 'sweet talk'.
There was nothing they could do; who knew what Bibi Dong's true feelings were towards him?
Since the other person seems very happy, say more nice things to coax them.
If Bibi Dong is happy, then he is safe.
As the saying goes, serving a ruler is like serving a tiger; Pope Bibidon can sometimes be far more terrifying than a tiger.
"Changge, your teacher loves hearing the truth from you."
Bibi Dong smiled faintly, without withdrawing her hand, but gently pinching Gu Changge's little face: "So handsome at such a young age, and you know how to please girls with your words."
"It seems that when you grow up, you will be liked by many girls."
Gu Changge: "..."
Talk is talk, but why do you keep pinching my cheek?
Despite his adult mindset, Bibi Dong's actions made him feel awkward and uncomfortable.
"Teacher, please don't make fun of your disciple."
Gu Changge took a small step back, intentionally or unintentionally escaping Bibi Dong's clutches.
However, his actions were a miscalculation.
"Um?"
Bibi Dong frowned slightly, a glint of light flashing in her beautiful eyes, and stared directly at Gu Changge: "Changge, do you dislike your teacher?"
As the words fell, a chill crept in.
Gu Changge reacted quickly, immediately shaking his head: "No, it's just that the teacher is too beautiful. As a man, I still have to be careful."
"man?"
Bibi Dong was taken aback, the coldness on her face vanishing, replaced by a laugh: "Chang Ge, how old are you? You're not acting like a man at all!"
Gu Changge: "..."
They forgot that they had reverted to childhood, looking like they were when they were little.
In terms of some behavioral habits, I really can't adapt.
But how come he's not a man?!
"In a few years, you'll be a man. Even though you're a boy now, you still need to be careful."
For his own safety, Gu Changge still chose to comply with Bibi Dong as much as possible.
Go ahead and tease them if you want. When you surpass them in strength in the future, you will surely avenge today's 'humiliation'.
"This child is quite interesting."
Bibi Dong became increasingly interested and continued to reach out and pinch Gu Changge's face.
This time, Gu Changge did not dodge, letting Bibi Dong play with him.
"In a few more years?"
Bibi Dong raised her voice slightly, a playful smile playing on her charming lips, her voice cool and clear: "Even in a few years, you'll still be a boy in your teacher's eyes."
As she spoke, she actually set aside the papal scepter, which symbolized her status, and began to knead Gu Changge's face with both hands.
"This woman is really pushing her luck."
Gu Changge was extremely frustrated, and the calmness in his eyes was gradually replaced by a hint of helplessness.
Bibi Dong saw all of this.
She didn't stop, but continued to pinch and knead Gu Changge's face: "You look a little unwilling, are you angry?"
"...I wouldn't dare."
Gu Changge replied with two words.
"It's not that you don't dare, but that you don't have the ability?"
Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, then pulled Gu Changge's face with one last effort, her voice indifferent: "Since you're angry, then work hard to cultivate and strive to surpass your teacher one day."
"When you have unparalleled strength, you too can be like your teacher, holding the fate of the world in your hands."
After speaking, Bibi Dong withdrew her hand, took the golden scepter from the side, and returned to her lofty and aloof self as the Pope.
"This disciple has remembered."
Gu Changge bowed and nodded in agreement.
"Um."
Bibi Dong nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "Changge, from now on you will be my second disciple, Bibi Dong."
"You also have a senior sister, her name is Hu Liena."
"Yes, teacher."
Gu Changge nodded, reverting to his usual calm and mature demeanor.
