"Oh?"
Bi Bi Dong did not directly agree to Ye Tian's request, nor did she make any promises.
She had no doubt about Ye Tian's ability to come up with devious ideas!
If she rashly made any promises, she would inevitably suffer a great loss!
Bi Bi Dong propped her chin with her hand, stared at Ye Tian, raised an eyebrow at him, and said with interest, "Let's hear it first."
"It's actually not a big deal."
Ye Tian smiled and continued:
"I just want Teacher to prepare the invitation for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and then hand it over to me for some slight modifications."
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Bi Bi Dong frowned.
"What kind of scheme are you up to again, you brat?"
As she spoke,
Bi Bi Dong straightened her body, leaned forward onto the table, pressing down and creating a soft curve that revealed a tempting glimpse of fair skin. She slapped the table with her jade-like hand, her imposing presence surging as she said:
"Could it be that you want to switch sides and betray your master?!"
"Do you think that's possible?"
Ye Tian looked at Bi Bi Dong with exasperation.
"Even if I wanted to do it, let alone actually doing it, I believe Teacher would immediately apprehend me. Leaving Teacher aside, the Elders in the Hall of Worship would never let me leave easily either!"
As his words fell,
Ye Tian's eyes involuntarily focused on the bright, reflective spot.
He glanced at the round, tender tofu-like surface on the table in front of Bi Bi Dong.
He couldn't help but feel a sense of wonder.
No wonder some people enjoyed playing with different variations. Even such simple ingredients, served on different plates and arranged in different shapes, could feel refreshingly new!
Ye Tian's thoughts drifted away.
He had heard that the women of the Zhu family were exceptionally gifted. He wondered if, when they ate,
they also needed the table to help hold things up?
Such repressed fantasies were fleeting, and Ye Tian quickly dismissed them.
What was the use of just thinking about it?
There might be plenty of opportunities in the future to carefully observe and examine.
"Indeed, it's impossible."
Bi Bi Dong thought for a moment and nodded in agreement with Ye Tian's words.
From the moment Ye Tian obtained his First Soul Skill,
his personal whereabouts could already determine the rise and fall of a major power!
This was not an exaggeration but a fact!
With just a slight effort from Ye Tian,
the Spirit Hall had gained three full Innate Full Spirit Power geniuses!
No one in the Spirit Hall would allow him to leave.
Bi Bi Dong did not know, and neither did anyone else, that Hu Liena and the others were already talented to begin with. This was merely a beautiful misunderstanding.
But this misunderstanding
was exactly the result Ye Tian had wanted from the start!
Even if his Marrow Cleansing Pill didn't have that ability, it could still greatly enhance his value.
Coincidentally,
the Marrow Cleansing Pill did not disappoint him.
However, turning a waste into an Innate Full Spirit Power genius Soul Master would require much more investment, but it was not impossible!
"Then what exactly are you trying to do, you brat?"
Bi Bi Dong pondered endlessly, slowly speaking as she raised her thoughtful eyes.
As her words fell,
Bi Bi Dong suddenly froze. As she lifted her gaze, she caught sight of Ye Tian's wandering eyes.
She lowered her eyes to look at the table beneath her eyelids.
She couldn't see the table; all she could see was the warm, curved fair skin and the bowl of white, fluffy rice.
Bi Bi Dong's face flushed red.
A look of understanding flashed in her eyes.
After some thought, Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but reveal a teasing smile on her face.
Ye Tian had no idea that after he cleared his mind of distractions, Bi Bi Dong was about to start causing trouble again. He simply shook his head on his own:
"To be honest..."
"I don't really know what I want to do right now. I just want to meet with Ning Fengzhi, the leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, first."
After speaking,
Ye Tian looked at Bi Bi Dong again, his tone meaningful: "What I do next will largely depend on Ning Fengzhi's attitude."
"You really have quite the bold tone, don't you~"
"From the sound of it, are you trying to control the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"
Bi Bi Dong propped her cheek with her hand,
lifting her somewhat fiery gaze and face to stare directly at Ye Tian.
Thinking of Ye Tian's gaze just now...
Simply,
Bi Bi Dong shamelessly
leaned her body further toward Ye Tian... pushing the more tender and abundant main dish on the table, along with the white rice, closer to Ye Tian.
Hu Liena, who had been unable to get a word in edgewise,
watched as the bowl of white rice slowly moved, her eyes flashing with surprise, marveling at the quality of Bi Bi Dong's skirt!
It looked light and thin, yet it was sturdy in use.
Otherwise, it would have already split open and failed to contain that graceful figure.
Although Bi Bi Dong's movements were fiery,
it didn't stop her from pouring cold water on Ye Tian: "However... if you want to see that old fox, it's probably going to be difficult."
"Of course, I know that."
Ye Tian remained full of confidence, just staring at Bi Bi Dong's face.
He didn't notice the generous "benefits" approaching before him.
"The Soul Master Realm has experienced several upheavals recently, and all the major forces are on high alert. As the leader, Ning Fengzhi naturally avoids leaving the sect unless absolutely necessary, let alone personally visiting Spirit Hall City."
"But I have my own way to lure him here!"
Ye Tian declared confidently.
Although he had never played politics, hadn't he at least seen how it was done?
He had already considered all of this...
Wasn't that why he had Bi Bi Dong let him review the invitation to be sent to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
"..."
Bi Bi Dong frowned slightly,
feeling somewhat annoyed by Ye Tian's behavior—sometimes bold and manly, other times as dull as a block of wood.
So...
Her jade-like fingers lightly tapped on the table in front of her.
While drawing Ye Tian's attention, Bi Bi Dong had already lost her ability to think. Recalling Ye Tian's request just now, she simply raised an eyebrow and asked:
"So, what kind of trick do you want to play with the invitation?"
"Heaven's secrets cannot be revealed."
Ye Tian shook his head, his face filled with a smug, mischievous expression.
But soon...
Ye Tian noticed the white rice that Bi Bi Dong had pushed toward him with her overflowing figure, and he froze on the spot, his eyes uncontrollably trembling.
He took in every detail of the main dish accompanying the white rice, clear and unmistakable.
For a moment, he couldn't look away.
"Playing mysterious tricks."
Bi Bi Dong pouted, complaining.
Not receiving Ye Tian's response in time, Bi Bi Dong quickly noticed his dazed gaze...
The corners of her lips curled up, and a flush of color spread across her cheeks.
As her red lips parted, a seductive voice was compressed into a thread by Bi Bi Dong and sent rippling toward Ye Tian.
"Is it nice to look at~"
"!!!"
Only when a familiar, coquettish, and shy voice reached his ears did Ye Tian suddenly snap back to reality. His gaze instantly shifted upward to meet Bi Bi Dong's face, full of teasing and shyness.
Meeting Bi Bi Dong's enchanting and captivating beautiful eyes...
Ye Tian couldn't help but shiver, forcing a dry laugh as he continued, "Ha, haha, Teacher, just wait and see. I have my own methods to make Ning Fengzhi willingly take the bait."
"Is that so~ How impressive!"
Bi Bi Dong propped her chin on her hand, looking at Ye Tian with a gentle smile on her flushed face. A slight shake of her body sent her wavy hair swaying, making Ye Tian's scalp tingle and too nervous to meet her gaze.
"Haha~"
Bi Bi Dong let out a soft laugh, straightening up contentedly and extending her delicate foot.
"Then I'll wait and see, hmm?"
"In any case, Teacher, you can rest assured. Just leave it to me."
Ye Tian raised his head again.
Before he could finish speaking, the hand that had just left his forehead trembled uncontrollably.
His entire body shuddered.
"Hiss—!"
Ye Tian couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath, his dark eyes widening as he looked down.
A slender, pale foot
had actually slid from his knee and landed right between his legs on the stool.
It was dangerously close to his long legs!
"Senior Brother, what's wrong?"
Hu Liena's voice rang out, and the delicate foot between Ye Tian's legs quickly retreated.
"N-nothing."
Ye Tian lifted his head, shaking it repeatedly with extreme discomfort.
"Really?"
Hu Liena looked suspicious,
her gaze carefully shifting toward Bi Bi Dong.
She couldn't shake the feeling that something was off about both of them!
"Heh, Nana, don't overthink it. He probably just bit his tongue from bragging too much."
Bi Bi Dong propped her chin on her hand, joking lightly.
Her other hand had already picked up her chopsticks again, her pearly white teeth lightly nibbling the tips.
As she watched Ye Tian's eyes meet hers,
Bi Bi Dong bit down on the chopsticks, smiling playfully. "Since you have your own plans, I'll go along with your wishes. How does that sound?"
"..."
Ye Tian looked somewhat awkwardly at Bi Bi Dong, whose face was full of gleeful mischief.
He didn't respond to her.
Instead, he picked up Hu Liena's earlier inquiry, shaking his head.
Seizing the opportunity to counter Bi Bi Dong!
"Nana, I'm really fine."
"I must have been mistaken. For a moment, I thought a pig's trotter had fallen down."
As Ye Tian finished speaking,
Bi Bi Dong's foot, which had been halfway in the air, immediately froze.
Her flushed face turned even redder.
Not from embarrassment, but from anger, a faint layer of fury spreading across her features.
This brat!
He actually called her foot a pig's trotter!
"Huh? Pig's trotter?"
Hu Liena was bewildered, glancing at the dishes on the table.
There was indeed a plate of pig's trotters...
But that plate was right in front of her! No matter how it fell, it couldn't have landed in Senior Brother's lap or near his feet, could it?
Ye Tian paid no mind to Hu Liena's confusion.
Looking at Bi Bi Dong, whose eyes were filled with shame and indignation, he smiled back in retaliation.
"Then I thank Teacher for your understanding!"
"Hmph! Who told you you're my Holy Son!"
Bi Bi Dong gritted her teeth as she spoke.
"..."
Hu Liena was caught off guard, staring blankly at the two who seemed to be at odds again.
In her ears echoed Bi Bi Dong's stern warning.
"But let me make this clear! As the Pope, and even more so as your teacher, I absolutely will not tolerate you 'straying from the path'!"
Bi Bi Dong placed her foot back into her shoe, saying fiercely.
"My dear Teacher, you can rest easy and keep your heart in your stomach."
Ye Tian also picked up his bowl,
placing a piece of braised pork into it as he spoke leisurely.
"Which truly has the greater wealth and influence, the Spirit Hall or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? Do you think I don't know? If I were to reveal my true intentions to you, it would only be to turn the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from an enemy into an ally."
"Turn them from an enemy into an ally?!"
Hearing this, Bi Bi Dong's eyes were filled with astonishment.
Even though she had been proven wrong by Ye Tian many times before, Bi Bi Dong still couldn't help but feel skeptical at this moment.
After all,
the Spirit Hall and the Three Upper Sects had always been opposing forces!
Looking across the entire continent,
the Soul Master Realm could essentially be said to be divided and balanced by six major powers.
One superpower and several strong powers!
The Three Upper Sects and the two great empires!
As for the so-called Lower Four Sects, they were merely there to make up the numbers.
The six major powers had always maintained a delicate balance.
The Star Luo Empire wanted to annex the Heaven Dou Empire but was prevented by the Spirit Hall.
The Spirit Hall wanted to sweep across the continent,
but was resisted by the Three Upper Sects allied with the two great empires.
Even among the so-called united Three Upper Sects, there were disagreements.
The Clear Sky School leaned more toward the Star Luo Empire,
while the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School leaned more toward the Heaven Dou Empire.
Unlike those old-timers like Yu Yuanzhen and Tang Zhen,
Bi Bi Dong had little contact with them,
but she had a relatively good understanding of the comparatively younger Ning Fengzhi.
When he first ascended to the position of sect leader,
Ning Fengzhi had gone to great lengths, jumping through hoops to secure his position.
The rogue Bone Douluo had been coaxed into joining by him.
Putting all that aside,
the phrase 'the Three Upper Sects are united as one,'
she had heard Ning Fengzhi utter it many times in various places.
Therefore,
she remained skeptical about Ye Tian's claim of winning over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"Exactly, turn them from an enemy into an ally!"
Ye Tian casually tossed the pork belly into his mouth, chewing it with relish.
With enough bargaining chips in hand,
Ye Tian wasn't the least bit worried about Ning Fengzhi refusing.
"I believe Sect Leader Ning is a qualified businessman. I also hope he won't be short-sighted, always clinging to the empty reputation of being one of the Three Upper Sects and the number one support sect in the world. Otherwise, once this opportunity is missed, there won't be another!"
Ye Tian's eyes shone with absolute confidence,
making Bi Bi Dong herself feel moved, astonished by Ye Tian's utterly arrogant words!
Did he really think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School couldn't do without him?
Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but ask, "Brat, where exactly does your confidence come from?"
"You'll find out, Teacher! In a few days, once I finalize the plans and designs, I'll explain my arrangements to you."
Ye Tian declared confidently.
He didn't believe any faction could resist the temptation of pills!
Setting aside his two Soul Skills,
the Body Tempering Pill, refined from the body-tempering essence extracted from Whale Jelly—a pill that enhances a Soul Master's ability to absorb Spirit Rings—was merely an appetizer.
In the future, there would be an even greater variety of pills,
descending like meteors upon the pill-desert that was the Douluo Continent,
radiating absolutely dazzling brilliance!
Those who refused to cooperate
would only be surpassed, gradually decline, or even face destruction!
The so-called Three Upper Sects would become nothing but fleeting clouds!
The reason for showing the plans to Bi Bi Dong was also a consideration for safety.
With a superpower like the Spirit Hall backing him,
his pill enterprise could develop more healthily and steadily!
"Senior Brother~"
Hu Liena's eyes lit up with an infatuated glow, captivated by Ye Tian's confidence.
Bi Bi Dong also couldn't help but feel that such a Ye Tian was truly intoxicating, making her heart itch with anticipation. The corners of her lips curled up slightly.
"Excellent!"
"Then I'll wait and see what kind of spectacle you can create!"
As the words fell,
a glint of ambition and cruelty gradually surfaced in Bi Bi Dong's eyes!
If Ye Tian truly succeeded in winning over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, then perhaps many obstacles to her plan of annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could be removed, or even brought forward ahead of schedule.
With the Clear Sky School reduced to stray dogs, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School becoming an ally,
and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan destroyed—
the remaining two empires, even if joined by the Clear Sky School, would be nothing more than fish on a chopping block,
allowing the Spirit Hall to act as it pleased!
Moreover,
she was on the verge—no, she had already embarked on the Path to Godhood!
On the day she ascended to godhood,
no one would dare defy her again!
She would become the true ruler of this continent!
Faint traces of deep purple light swirled in Bi Bi Dong's eyes.
Vague, indistinct memories—images that seemed both real and illusory, present yet absent—resurfaced in her mind, causing her to furrow her brow slightly.
