Back inside the Spirit Hall, Xiao Ze went directly to the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
"Your Holiness, two-thirds of our Spirit Hall's spirit soul tower has been constructed, and the rest will be completed in the coming months. As for Sunset Forest, the construction team has already gone there.
The area of Sunset Forest is much smaller than Star Dou Great Forest, and we estimate that eight to ten spirit soul towers will be needed.
Finally, there's the Extreme North Land. The border between the Heaven Dou Empire and the Extreme North Land is very long, and coupled with the harsh environment of the Extreme North Land, it would take a very long time to construct spirit soul towers there."
Bibi Dong sat on the Supreme Pontiff's chair, her fingertips caressing her scepter, her gaze fixed on the entrance of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
She hadn't heard a word of what Ghost Douluo was reporting.
Suddenly, the door opened. Bibi Dong was startled subconsciously and, seeing Ghost Douluo's gaze, glared fiercely at him.
Ghost Douluo immediately lowered his head. He truly wanted to cry.
Yue Guan had left Spirit Hall, but he still had to stay here. He didn't know what was wrong with His Holiness these days; she seemed a bit irritable.
It hadn't been like this for a long time. Could it be that she was getting old?
He heard that older people go through menopause, but do Spirit Masters really experience menopause?
Xiao Ze, seeing that it was quiet inside, quietly walked in and saw Bibi Dong's surprised eyes.
"You... you're back." Bibi Dong almost stood up.
"That's right, I've completed the research on spirit souls, and I rushed back immediately."
"Oh? spirit souls!" Although Bibi Dong missed Xiao Ze greatly, spirit souls were still more important at the moment.
She was still a bit love-struck, but much better than she was back then.
At least she knew to prioritize important matters.
Xiao Ze didn't say much but directly summoned the Bixiao Spirit Deer.
Ghost Douluo and Bibi Dong's eyes lit up upon seeing such a gentle and adorable Spirit Deer.
Xiao Ze knew that the Bixiao Spirit Deer would definitely be liked. She was much cuter than the Three-Eyed Golden Lion.
Among all the adorable Spirit Beasts Xiao Ze had seen, there was probably none cuter than her.
"Is this the Bixiao Spirit Deer?" Bibi Dong was knowledgeable. Although Bixiao Spirit Deer were rare, she still recognized them.
"That's right, this Bixiao Spirit Deer is the one that sacrificed herself for me back then. My skull bone is also her Spirit Bone. However, I preserved her soul, and now she has become my spirit soul, though she is only a ten thousand year spirit soul for now.
But in the future, she has a chance to become a hundred thousand year spirit soul."
"ten thousand year..." Bibi Dong was silent for a moment. "A hundred thousand year spirit soul, according to you, can provide five ten thousand year spirit rings."
"Exactly. That's why I told you all to cultivate your mental force diligently. As long as your mental force is strong enough, you can support two or even three spirit souls. By then, it's possible for all your spirit rings to be ten thousand year spirit rings."
"Hiss..." Ghost Douluo was uncharacteristically shocked, mainly because the impact on him was simply too great.
All ten thousand year spirit rings—even His Holiness's second Spirit hadn't achieved that.
"Can spirit souls increase their age limit?" Bibi Dong asked curiously. If it were true, wouldn't it be somewhat heaven-defying?
"It is possible, but not that easy. It's mainly due to my own methods. It's highly unlikely for ordinary Spirit Masters, but it's still much better than obtaining spirit rings by oneself."
"Indeed, and it's safer." Bibi Dong nodded.
"Next, will you begin your spirit soul system?"
"Four months from now. For these four months, we'll first upgrade some of our Spirit Hall's Spirit Masters, specifically the Soul Tool Legion, as well as the Elders and Reverends, and so on.
However, we'll have to see if there are enough ten thousand year spirit rings by then.
Also, I need to use these four months to cultivate some spirit soul Contractors. I can't keep doing this myself."
"Alright, Gui Mei, you may leave."
"Huh?" Ghost Douluo was stunned.
"Hmm?" Bibi Dong's cold tone startled him, and he scrambled away.
Xiao Ze didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Do you have to scare him like that?"
"He has no discernment at all. Tomorrow, I'll swap him back with Yue Guan." Bibi Dong was speechless. After so many years, he still hadn't learned anything from Yue Guan.
However, it must be said that Yue Guan and Gui Mei were the two Titled Douluo she found easiest to work with.
The others were ultimately a bit lacking.
After seeing Gui Mei leave,
Bibi Dong immediately walked down from her throne, came before Xiao Ze, and reached out to pinch his cheek.
"Hmm, it's been over eight months, and the feel is still quite good," Bibi Dong said with satisfaction.
Xiao Ze was speechless: "Big Sister, you are the Supreme Pontiff. Such actions are not appropriate."
"Mind your own business! I am the Supreme Pontiff; everything must obey me." Bibi Dong said this with a hint of childish Domineering.
"Yes, yes, you are the Supreme Pontiff, and everything must obey you." Xiao Ze took her hand from his face, removing it directly, but he didn't let go.
Their eyes met, and a delicate atmosphere permeated the air.
Smack!
Xiao Ze kissed Bibi Dong on the forehead: "Alright, I need to go back and rest for a bit. I'm a bit tired these past few days."
"Okay." Bibi Dong's eyes were hazy as she subconsciously nodded.
In Bibi Dong's eyes, Xiao Ze was like a succubus. Even though he was a man, just that one kiss made her feel like she was going to faint.
It took some time after Xiao Ze left for Bibi Dong to regain her senses.
Touching the warmth on her forehead, her cheeks flushed: "Why is it like this? I tried it last time, and it's still like this."
"This is what love is like; you're just shy," Rakshasa God teased.
"Have you ever been in love?" Bibi Dong asked.
"No, I don't need such things."
"Then why are you talking nonsense! You know nothing." Bibi Dong finished speaking and left.
Rakshasa God was stunned by Bibi Dong's scolding. Was she really that bold now?
But she couldn't refute her.
She couldn't possibly revoke her successor status, could she? All her efforts over the years would be wasted then.
Darn it (〃＞Head＜).
Xiao Ze returned to his palace.
The palace was cleaned daily, and it was no different from when he had left.
Xiao Ze walked forward and saw a figure curled up on his bed, her hair spread across the pillow.
She was tightly hugging the cushion he usually used.
It was Ning Rongrong.
She was sleeping soundly, her lips unconsciously parted slightly, a glistening trail of drool quietly sliding down, dampening a small patch of the pillow.
Xiao Ze couldn't help but smile. He lightened his steps, approached, and crouched beside the bed.
He extended his index finger and gently wiped away the wet mark with his fingertip.
Ning Rongrong smacked her lips in her dream, rubbed against his palm like a kitten, and then fell back into a deep sleep.
