Chapter 24 The Pope's Personal Resetter
Pope's Palace.
Bibi Dong released her grip on Lin Yu's hand, turned around, and stared intently at him.
"Stay away from those old guys from now on."
"You are not allowed to accept anything they offer."
Lin Yu rubbed his aching wrist and looked at her with some helplessness.
"Teacher, they meant well."
"kindness?"
Bibi Dong let out a cold snort and paced back and forth in the hall.
"They're after the god behind you. In this Spirit Hall, besides me, no one is truly sincere towards you."
This almost obsessive possessiveness gave Lin Yu a headache.
He discovered that Bibi Dong's attitude towards him had undergone a strange change ever since she went to that hellish place.
They used to be master and apprentice, but now it's more like... facing one's own private property.
"Teacher, you don't seem to be in a good mood today."
Lin Yu asked tentatively.
Bibi Dong stopped and pressed her forehead.
That was the work of a Rakshasa's divine will.
Those malicious and destructive voices roared in her mind all the time.
"Activate your Martial Soul."
Bibi Dong sat in the chair, closed her eyes, and looked tired.
Lin Yu didn't waste any words and directly activated his soul power.
The enormous gate to hell slowly rose inside the hall, and gray mist enveloped the two of them.
The moment she stepped onto that barren land, Bibi Dong let out a long sigh of relief.
The madness suppressed deep within his soul miraculously subsided the moment he came into contact with the chilling aura of the underworld.
It's like someone who has been walking under the scorching sun for a long time suddenly jumping into an icy lake.
"Only here can I feel that I am still alive."
Bibi Dong walked to the banks of the ever-flowing River of Oblivion, feeling the deathly stillness that could wash away all sins.
Lin Yu stood behind her.
He could sense that the Rakshasa power within Bibi Dong's body was being greatly suppressed here.
But this is only a temporary solution, not a permanent one.
He looked at the stone platform that was faintly visible in the mist in the distance.
That's the Terrace of Longing for Home.
And there's that Three Lives Stone, engraved with cause and effect.
If Bibi Dong were to re-examine her life in that space...
Will it collapse completely, or will it rise from the ashes?
"Xiaoyu".
Bibi Dong suddenly spoke, breaking the deathly silence.
"teacher?"
"Do you think that death can truly wash away all the suffering of one's life?"
She reached out her hand, her fingertips gently touching the icy waters of the River of Oblivion.
Lin Yu remained silent for a moment.
"I have no idea."
Bibi Dong's fingers paused for a moment, then quickly returned to normal, but Lin Yu still heard that faint sigh.
After a long while, Bibi Dong stood up and said, "Go out."
Lin Yu waved his hand.
Amidst the interplay of light and shadow, the two returned to the side hall of the Papal Palace.
The warm sunlight still shone on the red carpet.
Bibi Dong sat in a high position, resting her chin on one hand, her gaze fixed on Lin Yu, not shifting even slightly.
The illusion of being targeted by a ferocious beast sent chills down Lin Yu's spine.
Just now in the underworld, although His Holiness the Pope had briefly escaped the entanglement of the Rakshasa's divine will, his emotions were clearly still in a very unstable state.
If we stay any longer, who knows what might happen.
Chamber of Secrets.
These two words suddenly jumped into Lin Yu's mind.
Qian Xunji, that bastard, ruined Bibi Dong in a secret room back then.
Now that Bibi Dong is deeply influenced by the Rakshasa's divine will, her actions are becoming increasingly extreme and insane. What if she thinks that locking him up is the safest option...?
Lin Yu shivered.
Absolutely not.
He's still a child; such inappropriate content absolutely cannot happen.
"teacher."
Lin Yu broke the silence.
Bibi Dong lightly tapped her fingertips on the armrest, making a crisp, tinkling sound.
"What's wrong?"
"I had some insights in the underworld just now, and my soul power fluctuated quite violently. I want to go back and go into seclusion to sort them out."
Lin Yu lied without batting an eye, even pretending to clutch his chest.
Bibi Dong paused for a moment.
She stood up, her long dress trailing on the ground, making a rustling sound.
One step, two steps.
She walked up to Lin Yu and raised her hand.
Lin Yu's muscles were tense, ready to summon the gates of hell and escape at any moment.
A cold hand was placed on his forehead.
There was no intent to kill.
Only a stream of extremely pure and vast soul power entered through the point of contact and circulated within his body.
"The soul power is indeed somewhat restless."
Bibi Dong withdrew her hand, her expression softening slightly.
"You shall remain in seclusion here. I will personally protect you."
Lin Yu's lips twitched.
Is he in seclusion here?
Wouldn't that be like a lamb entering a tiger's den, delivering oneself to the dinner table?
"no."
Lin Yu refused outright.
Bibi Dong narrowed her phoenix eyes, and the surrounding air instantly froze.
"You're rejecting me?"
"It's not a rejection."
Lin Yu's mind raced, and he immediately dragged those old men out to take the blame.
"Those deities were just outside. Although they're gone, their presence lingers. I can't concentrate here. What if I mess up my cultivation..."
The mention of the Hall of Offerings caused Bibi Dong's aura to suddenly drop.
disgust.
Undisguised disgust.
"Those old bastards who won't die."
She uttered a cold remark, then waved her hand as if shooing away flies.
"Go. Return to your quarters. No one is to disturb you without my order."
"yes!"
Lin Yu felt as if he had been granted a pardon, bowed, and turned to leave.
His steps were quick yet orderly, seemingly composed, but in reality, he wished he had two more legs.
The oppressive feeling, like a thorn in my back, only completely disappeared after I stepped out of the Papal Palace.
Lin Yu stood in the empty square and exhaled a long breath.
The wind in Wuhun City carried a unique coolness, drying the cold sweat on my back.
That was close.
I almost became a caged canary.
Although Bibi Dong is indeed treating him well now, even spoiling him, this spoiling is based on an extremely distorted mentality.
We must keep our distance.
Distance creates beauty and a sense of security.
Lin Yu stretched his stiff neck and looked north.
Now that we're out here, we can't waste any more time.
The creation of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in Sunset Forest is imperative.
That is a shortcut to improving strength, and also the key to perfecting the Ghost Gate Martial Soul.
but……
Before heading to Sunset Forest, perhaps we should take a detour.
Tian Dou City.
Lin Yu rubbed his chin, and a golden figure appeared in his mind.
A thousand feet of snow.
That "little angel" who infiltrated the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace, disguised herself as a man, and took the place of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
The six-winged angel martial soul possesses innate full soul power at level twenty.
Luxurious configuration, with a backdrop that reaches to the heavens.
Unfortunately, he was love-struck, and his later work became incredibly sloppy.
They had a winning hand, but ended up playing it terribly.
But undeniably, she is currently the person on the entire continent with the best chance of becoming a god, besides Bibi Dong.
They are also the future high-end combat force of the Spirit Hall.
The relationship between these two women...
It's a complete mess.
Bibi Dong hated everything related to the house, and by extension, she hated Qian Renxue as well.
Qian Renxue, on the other hand, longed for maternal love but could not obtain it. In the end, her love turned into hatred, and she even wanted to destroy the Spirit Hall to prove herself.
If we could ease the tension between these two...
Lin Yu narrowed his eyes.
It's hard.
It's even more difficult than asking him to fight a Title Douluo one-on-one right now.
But this deal is worthwhile.
If he succeeds, he will have two god-level trump cards in his hand.
Rakshasa and Angel.
In addition, there's him, the future ruler of the underworld.
This lineup is enough to sweep through the entire God Realm.
"It's a bit of a hassle, but what can I do when I'm kind-hearted?"
Lin Yu chuckled self-deprecatingly.
Let's go and meet that Crown Prince then.
Let's see what this legendary undercover genius is really like.
By the way, let's find some fun to make this monotonous cultivation life more interesting.
