Chamber of the Papal Palace.

Su Cheng opened the huge and exquisite cabinet on the north side of the hall and was rummaging through it at random.

Bibi Dong, who was sitting on the wide seat at the end of the long table, did not get up, just silently watched him skillfully take out various items such as tea leaves and tea sets from the cupboard, and the lines on his face were extremely soft.

"Didn't you take a lot from me before, and you drank it so quickly?"

"Most of them were given to my teacher." Su Cheng said casually while pouring tea and adding water, "And what does it mean to 'take it from you', logically speaking, these are originally mine." ”

Bibi Dong rolled his eyes when he heard this, "Then you go to the silver girl yourself and ask for it, if it's you, you will definitely be able to get more." ”

"That's not necessary, it's okay to drink a little once in a while, excessive enjoyment is not good for cultivation." He placed a cup of tea on the table in front of the other party and said solemnly.

Just now, Su Cheng placed a group of people from the major elemental academies in the Houshan Martial Spirit Hall Academy, and after completing the formalities for them, he asked Zhu Zhuqing to stay there to introduce the situation to those people.

He himself took the lead and came directly here, briefly reporting to Bibi Dong on the process of this trip, as well as the current attitude and position of the major elemental academies.

At this point, the task of his trip this time has actually been completed, and the next step is to arrange for the subordinate soul masters of the Wuhun Hall to go and contact.

The follow-up process won't be too cumbersome either.

Those elemental academies were all located in several important major cities within the Heaven Dou Empire. And in the major main cities, there are martial soul main halls of subordinate branches of the Martial Soul Palace, and Su Cheng has also greeted those main hall masters before.

As the Martial Soul Main Hall after Martial Soul City and Martial Soul Temple, all the soul masters who can serve as hall masters in it have Soul Saint cultivation, plus their own identity, it is more than enough to contact those college deans.

Bibi Dong picked up the teacup, gently blew the heat on it, lowered his eyes and smiled: "You have had a lot of fun outside with Zhuqing during this time, right?" ”

“？” Su Cheng glanced at her unhappily, "I'm here to get down to business." ”

"With your means, will it take three months?"

“…… These are the things that you, the Pope, should do. ”

"That's really hard work for you, Elder Su." Bibi Dong laughed dumbly.

There was no sarcasm in the tone, but mostly ridicule.

At this time, Su Cheng also sat down on the seat next to him, looked at Bibi Dong and asked, "Has Xiaoxue's cultivation made new progress?" ”

"What is her attitude towards me, you don't know, what's the use of asking me about these things, you should see for yourself."

For some reason, she didn't mention her specific senses when Qianyue broke through, but just said a word.

Su Cheng didn't doubt him, and said lightly: "It's okay." What about you, how is the energy in your body fused? ”

"There were some obstacles, but it didn't work out yet."

"What's in the way?"

"My soul has changed a lot during this time, it has been strengthening almost every day, and the quality is a little too high. It is necessary to further refine the soul power and the physical body in order to achieve a balance between them. ”

"Be specific."

"Well, although it is difficult to fully mobilize the soul power, the energy contained in it seems to be stronger than the soul power attached to my twin martial souls, as well as the greatly increased physical qi and blood power after cultivating the innate skills, all of which are more powerful combined."

Bibi Dong's body subconsciously leaned back in the chair, his hands crossed in front of his chest, and his eyes were thoughtful.

The casual movements made her perfect posture more and more prominent, with crisp breasts and a slender waist, and her appearance did not match her actual age at all.

Her lips continued to open and close slightly, "However, although my soul power is extremely strong, it is not huge, but full of purity, but it is a little difficult to control. Perhaps, some more opportunities will be needed......"

After speaking, her empty gaze refocused and fell on Su Cheng's face, "Do you want to come in and have a look?" ”

Under the sunlight shining through the window, those beautiful eyes sparkled and made people a little unable to see the expression.

“…… I'll talk about that later. ”

Su Cheng retracted his gaze and looked at the mist rising above the teacup in front of him.

Seeing his reaction, Bibi Dong seemed to find it interesting, a smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he didn't continue to force it, but asked, "That silver girl's aura seems to be a little different, did you teach her the method of fusing innate power?" ”

"Hmm."

"I said I didn't care, but I was actually very optimistic about her."

“……”

Su Cheng silently picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, ignoring the other party's question.

Bibi Dong also fell silent when he saw this.

The papal palace became very quiet for a while, except for the faint sound of pouring water and drinking tea.

When Zhu Zhuqing pushed the door in, she was slightly stunned by the picture in front of her.

The meeting hall of the Pope Hall in Wuhun City is very large, and the decoration is extremely gorgeous, revealing the atmosphere of dignity and majesty everywhere.

As the Pope, Bibi Dong was sitting on the throne at the north end of the long square table.

The plush wooden seats are large enough to accommodate even two or three people.

Her reclining sitting posture seemed languid and casual, almost as if she was lying on her side, her two slender legs overlapping each other, and her plain white slender little arm resting on the armrest, supporting her delicate chin.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows on the east side are flooded with sunlight, gilding her curved and feminine figure.

Next to her, Su Cheng sat in the northernmost position on the west side of the long table, playing with the teacup in his hand.

The two are very close, and Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes always sweep towards the person next to him from time to time.

The two figures, a man and a woman, do not look like the subordinate relationship between the ordinary pope and the elders, nor do they look like the powerful figures of the Martial Spirit Hall who hold the power of the court, but more like close friends, who get along very well.

This harmonious and timeless picture made Zhu Zhuqing's heart feel bored, and those conjectures that seemed to exist resurfaced in his heart.

However, before she could continue to think deeply, with the "squeak" sound of the seat dragging down, she saw Su Cheng get up and walk towards her.

After getting closer, he gently patted her on the shoulder and said, "You talk, I'll go to the Hall of Elders first." ”

Zhu Zhuqing pursed his thin lips when he heard this, nodded and did not speak.

"Come and sit."

After Su Cheng left, Bibi Dong, who was sitting in place and did not move, casually greeted, and his sitting posture was more upright than just now.

Although her expression hadn't changed much, Zhu Zhuqing was keenly aware that her mood seemed to be a lot colder.

"Teacher."

Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and then sat down a little restrainedly.

Although the two have been together for a while in the past, she has never sat down to talk like this every time she stands on the sidelines.

On the other side, Bibi Dong looked Zhu Zhuqing up and down, obviously feeling that she was different from the past.

In fact, this change is quite obvious, but Qian Lingxue has never been too lazy to look at her, so she didn't notice these details.

Especially if you haven't seen each other for months, anyone who is familiar with it can feel the contrast.

That kind of coldness with a little soft style, extremely sultry.

She is no longer the girl she used to be.

Bibi Dong's eyes flashed with a touch of complexity, and then quickly retracted, and said with a smile: "I finally had a chance to go out alone with Su Cheng, why did you come back so quickly?" If you say a few kind words to him, I don't think he will refuse to spend more time with you outside. ”

As she spoke, she casually took out a brand-new porcelain cup, poured a cup of tea herself, and handed it over.

Zhu Zhuqing was a little flattered, and hurriedly stretched out his hands to take it, lowered his eyes and said respectfully: "The task of the Martial Spirit Hall is important. ”

"Okay, I'm too lazy to take care of your business, anyway, it looks like you've got what you want." Bibi Dong said casually.

Then he looked at the girl with a slightly red face, "However, have you thought about how Qianyue will react after knowing your affairs?" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but be silent.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong sighed softly.

"Zhuqing, the teacher has always supported you together.

"I said before that Qian Lingxue and Su Cheng are not suitable, she is too strong, and there is a big offering behind her to support silently, and Su Cheng has too many thoughts.

"If you get along like this with their temperament, sooner or later there will be problems, and it is easy to produce internal friction. The talents of these two people are extremely outstanding, and once there is a contradiction, it will be very detrimental to the future of the Martial Spirit Palace.

"As the Pope, I don't want this to happen, you're a smart kid, can you understand what I mean?"

"......" Zhu Zhuqing looked at her in a daze.

Bibi Dong continued: "It's not a way to go on like this, and it's not necessarily a good thing to delay it for a long time. Instead of passively waiting, it is better to be proactive.

"Zhuqing, if Su Cheng hadn't mentioned your matter to Qianyue for the time being, you might as well take the initiative to expose your relationship to her.

"Don't worry, as long as you stay with Su Cheng, Qianrenxue can't do anything to you. And, too, I will stand behind you.

"I told you before, if you really like Su Cheng, then I will definitely help you."

Her body moved forward slightly, and then she raised her arm and stretched out her palm, covering the back of Zhu Zhuqing's hand.

Two equally slender and white hands overlapped.

Bibi Dong said earnestly and seriously: "No matter what you think, you can tell the teacher directly." ”

Zhu Zhuqing was stunned and looked at the female pope in front of him who was absolutely beautiful and unparalleled in the world.

Obviously, the other party's voice was kind and soft, and his eyes were as warm as water.

But for some reason, a chill couldn't stop running deep in her heart.

On the other side, Su Cheng, who had left the Pope's Palace, naturally did not know about the conversation that was taking place in the council hall.

In fact, he's now being shocked by something else.

"You said that you completely digested and absorbed this 100,000-year-old torso bone yourself?!"

Su Cheng looked at the huge empty lead box in Qianrenxue's room, and then looked up at the woman in white who was standing in front of him with a proud expression, still a little incredulous in his heart, "How did you do it?" ”

Qian Renxue had successfully mastered the innate power before, and that was right.

However, the ordinary innate power in the early stage can only be regarded as an existence at the same level as the divine power, and it is even slightly inferior to the first-level divine power with distinct characteristics such as angelic divine power.

Su Cheng knew very well the situation of that torso bone, which almost condensed the essence of the divine power in that set of angel god costumes, which was a precious relic left by the first angel god.

As for the other four limb soul bones, and even the spirit skull, they were just auxiliaries and hubs, and the difficulty of absorption was not at the same level at all.

With Qian Lingxue's weak innate strength alone, it was almost impossible to do this.

"Hmph, I said it a long time ago, don't get complacent too soon."

With the sound of a cold voice, another figure of Qianyue appeared out of thin air.

Su Cheng turned his head to look.

At this time, the other party was wearing a black crown robe, and his long silky hair that hung down to his waist and hips showed a dark silver luster, and his pupils were as deep as the night sky.

Her skin is already extremely beautiful, and now it adds a bit of mystery.

But these are only superficial changes.

To Su Cheng's surprise, now that she appeared, she was no longer in the pure spirit state of the past.

Although the power of physical qi and blood in it is still a little weak, it is almost no different from a real person.

"Have you already studied the exercises to this point......

He looked at Qianyue and muttered, "Have you ever completed the fusion?" How did it feel? ”

"At first, it was just a preliminary fusion, and I felt that it was much stronger than the innate power. With that kind of power, we can successfully dissolve and absorb that soul bone. ”

Su Cheng nodded secretly when he heard this.

She is really very talented, and her progress is much faster than she imagined, but if it is only a preliminary fusion, although it is still exaggerated, it is still within the scope of understanding.

"After digesting that soul bone, our power fused perfectly in that instant. It was a higher-level energy, and it felt much stronger than before, far exceeding the innate power. Naturally, Qian Lingxue would not hide anything from him, and directly told him all about his feelings at that time.

Su Cheng's heart suddenly understood.

It's no wonder that he brought himself such a huge amount of Origin Power that day.

If you can clearly feel that it is a level higher than your innate power, then there is no doubt that it is definitely an energy level comparable to the second stage of your immortal true body.

"Sure enough, when your power is truly perfectly fused, there will be a qualitative effect. The reason why this step can be done is because of that torso bone? Can you show me what the hell is going on with you? ”

Su Cheng was indeed a little curious.

In his original estimate, no matter how talented Qian Lingxue was, there was no reason why she could complete the real transformation so quickly, and the initial fusion was already the limit.

Looking at it now, it is clear that the ablated trunk bone played a major role in this process.

Therefore, he needs to understand the other party's situation in more detail, so that he can more clearly judge what the changes that happened to Qian Renxue.

“……”

Hearing this, the other two looked at each other at the same time, and a look of embarrassment flashed in their eyes at the same time.

"What's wrong?"

"It's not because of you." The black-clothed Qianying pursed her lips with a displeased expression, "Originally, after two months of retreat, we were about to completely grasp the subsequent changes of the exercises, but we were only missing the last point, but we were interrupted by you. ”

"Uh......" Su Cheng suddenly cried and laughed when he heard this, "That's really a pity, I would have come back later if I knew this." ”

"Teacher, don't listen to her nonsense, we are all very happy to know that you are back. And it's just a little bit worse, who knows how long it will actually take to finish. ”

Su Cheng smiled and nodded, he naturally didn't feel guilty because of those words, and asked instead, "Is this what you were going to say outside before?" ”

"Hmm...... Actually, there is one more thing. After hesitating for a moment, Qian Lingxue still raised her head and looked at him calmly with those golden pupils.

"Didn't you mention before that in the future, against the God Realm, you need some teammates to help? But I don't think it's like this, low-level combat power, no matter how much you have, it's cannon fodder, and it doesn't have much effect at all.

"When I fully grasp that power, even if it's innate power, it's nothing more than that. At that time, it will be enough for you and me to do anything, so why do you need those superfluous people to get in the way? ”

Su Cheng's heart sank, and he hesitated: "You care about this very much?" ”

"Well, although I know that there is nothing between you and those people, I always feel a little uncomfortable in my heart." Qianyue pouted and said in a coquettish voice.

What she didn't say was that during the time that Su Cheng was away, the reason why she worked so hard, and even relied on her own strength, and even took a huge risk to try to smelt and digest that god-level soul bone, was to be able to prove herself and be able to say such a thing to Su Cheng at this time.

"By the way, teacher, don't you also have something to tell me, what is it?"

I was drinking every day for the first two days, but this week is still busy, so I'll write when I have time, so rest assured, next week will be fully back to normal updates.
