Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Heavenly Dao Umbrella, Seven Kills Annihilation

Chapter 163 The Pope... seems to have different thoughts about you.
Bibi Dong sighed softly in the illusion, no longer thinking about anything else, and simply immersed herself in it.

Spring passed and autumn came, and she and Jiang Nian gradually grew up.

Both of them were the pride of the Spirit Hall and received much attention from many elders and worshippers.

This time, she didn't choose to be Qian Xunji's teacher; instead, she chose nothing at all.

Here, Bibi Dong could freely assert her dominance, and the girls of the same grade no longer dared to come and chat or talk to Jiang Nian; they could only secretly watch and admire him.

Sometimes during class, if she notices a boy or girl giving her the wrong look, she'll glare back at them.

She put her arm around Jiang Nian's and lifted her head to kiss him on the face.

"Dong'er, men and women should not touch each other."

"Nonsense! We're different!"

Bibi Dong snorted, puffed out her cheeks, and punched him.

The boy shut up and didn't say anything more, instead focusing on listening attentively to the lesson.

"Hmph~ Whether it's an illusion or reality, I never get tired of looking at it..." Bibi Dong rested her chin on one hand, her possessiveness undisguised.

Now she can fully enjoy her childhood sweetheart identity.

Spring passes and winter comes.

Bibi Dong felt that she had become more lively.

Even though they know it's an illusion, they can't help but continue living in it.

Here, she has a completely new identity.

I will never meet that fraudulent master again, nor will I have any connection with Qian Xunji.

Everything is a new life.

Slowly, Bibi Dong spent six years in the illusion.

Both of them had already reached the Soul King level and were hailed by the Spirit Hall as the two peerless prodigies.

"Jiang Nian, do you think this world is real?" Bibi Dong rested her chin on her hand and quietly looked at the boy in front of her. Her bright, snow-white purple eyes now only reflected the boy's image.

"Why would you ask that?" Jiang Nian paused for a moment, then handed her a roasted rabbit leg.

"I don't know... I'm afraid that when I wake up, everything will go back to the way it was..." A trace of disappointment flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes, and even his roasted rabbit leg lost its appetite.

The two remained silent for a long time, with only the sound of the trees swaying in their ears.

Bibi Dong looked up and stared into Jiang Nian's eyes, wanting to see what her little apprentice in reality would say.

moment.

He put down his dinner, looked up at the bright moon, and murmured softly.

"The world is fake, but love is real."

Bibi Dong's pupils contracted, and the world in her eyes seemed to turn upside down.

In the blink of an eye, I felt dizzy and disoriented.

When I opened my eyes again, I found myself back.

Hu Liena's illusion shattered, and it was time for her dream to end.

Bibi Dong stared blankly ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

How much time has passed?

Inside the main hall, the sleeping maid was quickly awakened.

A girl who was nearby replied to Bibi Dong's words in a reserved manner.

"Your Holiness, six...six hours have passed..."

"Six hours? Hmm... I understand."

Bibi Dong rubbed her brows, suddenly feeling a little reluctant to leave that world.

There, the life you've always dreamed of will come true.

And it's incredibly realistic.

Thinking about it that way, the illusion doesn't seem so bad after all...
"What if things could continue like this forever?"

Bibi Dong looked up at the sky, recalling Jiang Nian calling her Dong'er.

For a moment, she suddenly felt a pang of envy for her daughter...
"What a blessing."

······
The next day.

Jiang Nian looked at Hu Liena, who was stammering in front of him, and wondered what she was trying to say.

"Na'er, just say what's on your mind, there's no need to hide anything."

"I..." Hu Liena lowered her head, hesitant, unsure whether to tell him about yesterday. "I remember the teacher summoned you yesterday, was it because of this?"

"Yes... yes, Brother Jiang Nian." Hu Liena nodded, her little hands clasping together more and more frequently, making him a little anxious.

"Tell me, whatever it is, I'll help you solve it."

Jiang Nian stroked her head, gently guiding her.

This looks like something big is going on.

Does Bibi Dong intend to send her out to gain experience?
That shouldn't be the case, right?

They are innocent and have a clear conscience.

Even the Pope wouldn't do it.

"Oh dear! Brother Jiang Nian, if I were to tell anyone, you mustn't tell His Holiness the Pope, otherwise I don't know if I'll ever be able to see you again."

Hu Liena gritted her teeth and decided to tell the truth.

Jiang Nian insisted on asking, and she couldn't refuse.

"It's just...it seems...the Pope seems to have some different feelings towards you..."

"???"

Jiang Nian was taken aback. Her brain worked quickly, and after half a minute of thinking, she realized why Bibi Dong had called her over yesterday.

Has his teacher become dissatisfied with the manipulation of reality and turned to the realm of illusion?

How can we allow wishful thinking like this?
"That's it?"

"Huh?" Hu Liena was startled and suddenly looked up at him.

Could it be that Brother Jiang Nian and His Holiness the Pope have already...
impossible!
They were master and apprentice!
duang~
Hu Liena cried out and covered her head, pouting as she thought, "Why does Brother Jiang Nian keep hitting me? Will he take responsibility if he makes me stupid?"

"I've spent the most time with my teacher, so if I'm not the person she cares about the most, then who else could it be?"

What are you thinking about?

Jiang Nian pinched her red cheeks with a serious expression, clearly annoyed.

“Oh right…” Hu Liena exclaimed and raised her neck, as if she had discovered a blind spot.

She's overthinking it; she still thinks their relationship...

"Don't talk nonsense about things like this, or you'll get a spanking."

Jiang Nian threatened her.

However, Hu Liena did not seem afraid; in fact, there was even a hint of excitement in her eyes.

"Brother Jiang Nian, I almost caused a huge disaster today, so please punish me severely."

As she spoke, Hu Liena turned around and covered her face with her hands.

"???"

No, what are you being shy about!
Jiang Nian felt dizzy and pressed her head down to turn the little fox around.

"Stretch out your hand."

"Um···"

Hu Liena tremblingly extended her right hand.

"Open up."

Jiang Nian pulled out a stick from somewhere and stared blankly into her eyes.

Hu Liena slowly opened her palms, revealing small, soft, white palms with a hint of pink.

Upon closer inspection, there was some redness and swelling.

Those were all knocked down by Jiang Nian before.

Those who make mistakes must be punished; no one should be given special treatment.

He picked up the stick and began tapping Hu Liena's palm.

The girl gritted her teeth, the pain shooting straight to her brain. A hint of grievance flashed in her eyes, and it seemed that tears were about to well up.

it hurts···
This isn't the first time, but I didn't expect it to be like this again...
As the number of times increased, Hu Liena's expression suddenly revealed a hint of enjoyment.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Nian immediately stopped.

"Na'er?"

"Brother Jiang Nian, what's wrong?"

Hu Liena looked up, a tear welling up in her eye, her lips pursed in a pitiful expression, which made Jiang Nian breathe a sigh of relief.

fine···
