Bi Bi Dong was secretly annoyed and was about to make another move when...
Elder Ling Yuan couldn't help but playfully pinch Ye Tian's smooth, woman-like hand, smiling as she said, "Your Highness, you've been impolite again~ Since you know my cultivation level, why not grace me with a self-introduction? That way, I can protect you better, isn't that right?"
"Ah... sorry, that was my oversight."
Ye Tian awkwardly apologized, though inwardly he blamed Bi Bi Dong's earlier "salty spider hand" for causing him to make such a basic mistake.
In the Soul Master Realm, introducing oneself along with one's Martial Soul and cultivation level was an extremely solemn and respectful gesture... Under normal circumstances, one should respond in kind to show respect for the other party.
Unable to contain his frustration, Ye Tian seized the moment!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, he quickly found a chance to retaliate, pinching Bi Bi Dong's thigh! His hand was filled with soft yet firm flesh, and it was especially warm... causing Ye Tian to unconsciously increase the pressure.
"!!!"
Beside him, Bi Bi Dong immediately widened her eyes.
Her beautiful eyes glanced at Ye Tian in shock, but afraid that Ling Yuan might notice, she had no choice but to endure the pain, gritting her teeth, blushing, and privately savoring that mix of irritation, pleasure, and shyness.
Vaguely, Bi Bi Dong's senses seemed to grow increasingly acute. The flesh pinched on her leg even tugged at her wound...
Adding to her shame and heat.
After pinching,
Ye Tian couldn't resist giving it a gentle squeeze.
Having completed this series of actions, Ye Tian, just like Bi Bi Dong earlier, spoke nonchalantly, "Elder Ling Yuan, my name is Ye Tian. My Martial Soul is the Flawless Nascent Pill, and I am a thirty-eighth-level Food System Soul Venerable. My Soul Ring configuration is two purple, one black."
As he finished speaking,
Ye Tian offered a friendly smile to Elder Ling Yuan, glanced at the blushing Bi Bi Dong beside him, and felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
For his future guard, Ye Tian naturally had nothing to hide. His cultivation level and Soul Rings could be easily detected with a simple investigation, so there was no need to conceal such information.
"What?!"
Elder Ling Yuan suddenly exclaimed in shock.
"!!!"
The exclamation startled Bi Bi Dong, her eyes flustered as she hurriedly grabbed her clothes to cover her thigh and looked toward Elder Ling Yuan.
Her flushed face couldn't help but turn slightly pale.
Fortunately,
Elder Ling Yuan's exclamation wasn't because she had noticed Bi Bi Dong's shy demeanor, but because of Ye Tian's words!
A thirty-eighth-level Soul Venerable! A two purple, one black configuration!
Not even the Assault System could achieve this, let alone the Food System...
How was this possible?!
The shock Ye Tian had brought to Elder Ling Yuan
left her with no spare attention to notice Bi Bi Dong's current state.
"Your Highness, if I recall correctly, you only became a disciple around three years ago when you awakened your Martial Soul, right?"
Elder Ling Yuan stared at Ye Tian in astonishment.
Hearing this, Bi Bi Dong immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The panic in her eyes eased slightly, and her somewhat pale face gradually regained its rosy hue. As she rubbed the thigh flesh Ye Tian had pinched, she silently condemned the rebellious disciple who dared to bully his master!
A cold glint in her eyes unabashedly fell upon Ye Tian's handsome face beside her.
Ye Tian seemed oblivious to it all. Bi Bi Dong's earlier panic had naturally caught his attention, and seeing her so flustered actually eased much of his own fear. He focused solely on Ling Yuan Douluo's question, nodding smugly.
"Elder Ling Yuan, you indeed haven't misremembered."
"Heavens!"
Ling Yuan Douluo remained incredulous, finally turning her gaze to Bi Bi Dong.
"Dong'er, is this true?"
Amidst her astonishment, Ling Yuan Douluo even forgot her respectful address for Bi Bi Dong, switching to the private nickname.
"Hah, of course, of course it's true."
Bi Bi Dong forced a smile, gently rubbing her thigh.
Though anger still lingered within her, seeing Ling Yuan Douluo stirred so profoundly by Ye Tian's mere words inevitably sparked pride in Bi Bi Dong—pride for Ye Tian!
Bi Bi Dong's smile regained its natural ease.
From earlier mockery, it shifted to praise.
"When you understand this brat better later, you'll get used to it. This is just the tip of the iceberg of his peculiarities."
"Is that so～"
Ling Yuan Douluo looked somewhat dazed at Ye Tian.
With Bi Bi Dong's corroboration, she no longer doubted Ye Tian's talent.
Instead, she couldn't help but marvel: "No wonder, no wonder you hold him in such regard, no wonder he became the Holy Son of Spirit Hall. With such terrifying talent, the Holy Son position rightly belongs to him!"
"Elder Ling Yuan flatters me."
Ye Tian smiled, accustomed to such praise, taking it as commonplace. Yet, curiosity about Ling Yuan Douluo persisted, prompting him to inquire: "Ling Yuan should only be Elder's title, right? What is Elder's real name?"
"..."
After Ye Tian spoke, the second floor of Wisteria Residence fell into silence.
Bi Bi Dong looked peculiar,
Ling Yuan Douluo even appeared troubled, stammering: "Your Highness, that name I never liked since childhood, I've long forgotten it. Usually, you can just call me Ling Yuan."
"Yes, calling Ling Yuan is fine."
Bi Bi Dong seemed stifling something, nodding repeatedly in agreement.
"???"
Ye Tian grew even more curious, looking at Ling Yuan Douluo earnestly: "Names are given by parents, why forget it? Elder Ling Yuan, rest assured, speak boldly and confidently. No matter how unpleasant it sounds, I will maintain due respect."
"This... huff!"
Ling Yuan Douluo looked utterly distressed, even exhaling a long breath.
Her expression suddenly turned cold, lifting the hot tea to sip, speaking indifferently: "Dong'er, if he truly wants to know, you tell him."
"Alright."
Bi Bi Dong nodded, unable to restrain herself, glancing at Ye Tian with eyes like blades scraping him—not because Ye Tian inquired about Ling Yuan's name, but due to his earlier disrespectful act toward his teacher.
"Brat, do you really want to know?"
"Of course!"
Ye Tian nodded emphatically; the more they acted like this, the more curious he became.
"Fine, lean your ear closer."
Bi Bi Dong nearly laughed out, glancing at Ling Yuan's displeased expression, she beckoned Ye Tian with a finger.
Seeing Bi Bi Dong's gleeful demeanor, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel wary inside.
But curiosity got the better of him, leading Ye Tian to walk over as if guided by a ghost, wanting to know just what kind of name could make a Titled Douluo so tight-lipped.
Bi Bi Dong's alluring red lips approached Ye Tian's ear. Glancing at those fair, perfect ears and stealing a look at Ling Yuan, who was silently sipping tea, a mix of vengeful intent and desire drove Bi Bi Dong to raise her jade-like hand, covering the space where she and Ye Tian met… then slowly parted her sharp-toothed mouth!
Ye Tian only felt a surge of heat rushing toward his earlobe, followed by a hint of moisture that first enveloped him like a gentle spring, then turned into a sharp, piercing pain, making him grimace uncontrollably.
He inwardly cursed that woman Bi Bi Dong for going mad, becoming increasingly excessive and unrestrained!
"Hiss—!"
Ye Tian couldn't help but suck in a sharp breath, his ears turning bright red, his face flushed as well.
"!!!"
Suddenly, a gaze as sharp as an eagle's instantly locked onto Ye Tian, making him feel as if facing a great enemy, not daring to move recklessly.
Raising his eyes, he saw it was none other than Ling Yuan Douluo, who had been savoring her tea, staring intently at him!
Ye Tian inwardly cried out that he had fallen into a trap.
This Ling Yuan Douluo was likely doing it on purpose! Just to give Bi Bi Dong an opportunity to take revenge on him.
Otherwise, how could a mere name become an unspeakable secret for a Titled Douluo?
But Ling Yuan Douluo hadn't thought that far.
She simply believed Ye Tian was mocking her name, which was why she glared at him fiercely. As for the redness on Ye Tian's face, she attributed it to him being frightened by her gaze, causing his blood to rush upward.
She never would have imagined that Bi Bi Dong, so dignified and authoritative in front of others, would do such a vulgar thing.
Bi Bi Dong's eyes curved with amusement, and she shamelessly extended her tongue to smear and savor Ye Tian's earlobe, making him unable to resist the tingling sensation, his entire body breaking out in goosebumps. After doing all this, Bi Bi Dong finally parted her red lips and, in an incredibly soft and delicate voice, told Ye Tian the answer.
"…"
The moment he heard the answer, Ye Tian fell completely silent, looking in astonishment at Ling Yuan Douluo, who had lowered her head again to sip her tea.
It seemed he had misunderstood something.
Ling Yuan Douluo hadn't been cooperating with Bi Bi Dong in that lewd act at all.
Rather, the name truly didn't quite fit.
What kind of girl, let alone a Titled Douluo, would have a name like 'Hawkeye'? Even if the Blazing Fire Spirit Kite was an eagle-type Martial Soul, and even if Ling Yuan Doulro had just glared at him with those hawk-like eyes, the name still felt inappropriate.
"Well?"
Bi Bi Dong retreated after achieving her goal, discreetly licking the corner of her lips as she smiled and asked Ye Tian. She was even bold enough not to worry about Ling Yuan Douluo noticing the moisture and redness around Ye Tian's ear.
"Hehe…"
Ye Tian covered his burning face and ears, offering an awkward smile toward Ling Yuan Douluo.
"It's alright, but I still think the name Ling Yuan feels more intimate. From now on, I'll just call Elder Ling Yuan 'Sister Ling Yuan.'"
"That's fine…"
Ling Yuan Douluo's face was also flushed red, entirely due to embarrassment. What more could she say in response to Ye Tian's suggestion? Of course, she accepted! It wasn't as if she could have him call her 'Sister Eye,' right?
Hmph!
Ling Yuan Douluo naturally didn't want to sit there enduring this torment.
So she simply changed the subject, watching as Bi Bi Dong set down her teacup and waved her jade hand, causing an assortment of clothing to appear on the table.
He no longer addressed Bi Bi Dong as Your Majesty or Your Highness, but instead used the most affectionate form of address.
"Dong'er, you granted me so many days off, and I spent them all traveling. I've been observing you for a while just now, and your figure is still as perfect as ever—unchanged for over a decade. Along the way, I saw some beautiful clothes and couldn't resist. Buying some for myself wasn't enough, so I picked up a few for you too. Would you like to try them on?"
"???"
Ye Tian suddenly froze—something about those words didn't seem quite right.
