Douluo Continent: I teach and nurture students at Tianshui Academy!

Seeing the young woman crying, Gu Shenge felt an even stronger pang of heartache. He reached out and hugged Bibi Dong tightly, lowered his head and kissed her tear-streaked cheeks, licking away the beautiful pope's tears, and gently comforted her.

"Don't cry, Dong'er. It breaks my heart to see you cry. Actually, I was wrong too. I should have told you about my background sooner, so you wouldn't have misunderstood. Be good, don't cry. You're a grown-up now. If outsiders see this, your papal dignity will be completely ruined."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong stopped crying and looked at the man comforting her with teary eyes. She felt very proud. Sure enough, a woman who cries gets loved.

She didn't care about the papacy at all, since there was no one else around. She raised her head and kissed Gu Shenge's lips, entwining with him.

If you reject such a proactive young married woman, it would truly hurt her feelings.

But Gu Shenge thought about how he had promised Leng Qishuang that he would have dinner at her place, and if he didn't go, he would be breaking his promise.

You can't have your cake and eat it too, but he wanted both.

After a brief moment of tender intimacy with Bibi Dong, Gu Shenge released her lips. Looking at the rosy-cheeked, charming, and alluring young woman in his arms, his golden eyes were filled with affection. His previous dissatisfaction with Bibi Dong had vanished under her initiative, and now he only wanted to punish her severely and cherish her.

"Dong'er, come have a meal with me."

Without hiding anything, he told Bibi Dong that Leng Qishuang had personally cooked a meal for him to thank him for helping her obtain her eighth spirit ring.

Immediately, Bibi Dong felt a surge of dissatisfaction and a hint of jealousy. This bitch actually dared to seduce her man while she was away. It seems that her previous warnings were not enough.

The way to a man's heart is through his stomach.

She naturally knew that as well.

Hmph! It's just cooking, I can do that too!

Although Bibi Dong was both angry and furious, she did not express it. After all, Leng Qishuang's invitation to dinner was made to thank Gu Shenge, which was reasonable. Moreover, she had already agreed, and if she stood her up, it would damage Gu Shenge's integrity.

"Okay, let's go, so as not to keep Dean Leng waiting."

Looking at the well-behaved and sensible Bibi Dong, Gu Shenge nodded in satisfaction, lowered his head again to kiss the young woman's fair forehead, and praised her.

"Dong'er is so good~"

(As I said before, it's nine parts sweet, one part sour, and only a little bit angsty.)

Chapter 45: Madam, your hairstyle is dangerous!

Inside the villa, plates of delicious dishes were served. In order to win over Gu Shenge's stomach, Leng Qishuang showed off her best culinary skills. Every dish was a masterpiece in terms of ingredients, cooking methods and plating. They were more like works of art than dishes.

As the saying goes, beauty is food for the eyes.

The beautiful dean had also carefully dressed herself up. Her jet-black hair was braided into a low ponytail draped over one shoulder. Her mature and beautiful face was lightly made up, with light blue eyeshadow added to the corners of her phoenix eyes. Her eyes were full of charm and allure, and her round, soft lips were painted with light blue lip gloss, exuding a sweet fragrance that made people want to kiss her and savor her.

The semi-transparent blue rose cheongsam accentuated Leng Qishuang's mature, full, and magnificent figure. Her snow-white skin looked incredibly alluring against the backdrop of the rose pattern. The cheongsam's skirt was slit all the way up to her thighs, revealing her fair and plump legs. A rose leg ring encircled her left thigh, while her right leg was decorated with blue rose vine patterns that encircled her leg, making her extremely charming and eye-catching!

The beautiful dean's attire was impeccable, exuding charm and mature allure. She was like a top-quality rose in full bloom, overflowing with nectar, and one could almost drink it all by simply lowering one's head.

"Hmm hmm hmm hmm..."

Leng Qishuang parted her lips slightly, humming a song, just like a wife waiting for her husband to come home, as if today were some kind of anniversary, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation.

dong dong dong~

The sound of knocking on the door was like a chess piece, and the beautiful female dean instantly showed joy and hurriedly went to open the door.

"Teacher Gu, you've arrived! Please come in..."

Leng Qishuang's mature and beautiful face was all smiles. She had just opened her mouth to invite Gu Shenge into the house when she saw the stunningly beautiful Pope of the Spirit Hall beside him. Her smile froze instantly, and a hint of panic appeared in her eyes.

Bibi Dong, holding Gu Shenge's hand, glanced at the alluring and mature woman in the room, her beautiful eyes flashing with a scarlet light, a hint of murderous intent rising within her, but quickly dissipating.

She thought to herself: This bitch is trying to seduce my man while I'm not here. She's asking for it!

If Gu Shenge hadn't been there, Bibi Dong would have definitely killed Leng Qishuang.

Gu Shenge looked at the beautiful dean's low ponytail hairstyle with one shoulder draped over her shoulder, and felt a strong sense of wifely charm emanating from her. She was slightly taken aback, and a strange light flashed in her eyes.

Madam, that hairstyle of yours is dangerous!

Leng Qishuang quickly averted her gaze, her voice trembling slightly as she forced a smile, her tone revealing surprise.

"I didn't expect His Holiness the Pope to come too. Please come in, please come in."

She hurriedly invited Gu Shenge and Bibi Dong inside, her eyes darting away, not daring to look at Bibi Dong, her heart filled with panic.

Gu Shenge noticed the beautiful dean's panic and felt quite helpless. She spoke with a hint of apology.

"I apologize, Dean Leng. His Holiness the Pope's arrival was so sudden that I was unable to explain to you. Would you mind if I gave you an extra set of chopsticks and a bowl?"

"I don't mind. I don't mind."

Upon hearing this, Leng Qishuang shook her head repeatedly, how could she dare to mind? Bibi Dong snorted coldly, "I doubt you would dare either."

The three then took their seats. Bibi Dong, a young and mature woman, sat to Gu Shenge's left, while Leng Qishuang, a mature and beautiful woman, sat to his right. Gu Shenge thoroughly enjoyed the meal, while Leng Qishuang was terrified and dared not make any unnecessary moves.

As the dinner party drew to a close, Leng Qishuang suppressed her fear of Bibi Dong and began to discuss some academy matters with Gu Shenge.

"Professor Gu, now that the academy has started the new semester, would you be interested in leading an elite class?"

The so-called elite class refers to the class that will participate in the Continental Elite Soul Master Competition.

Apart from some unlicensed academies that are not qualified to participate in the competition, regular official academies such as Tianshui Academy and Tiandou Royal Academy will set up competition classes such as genius classes or elite classes.

The number of students is extremely small, but each one is an exceptionally talented Soul Master.

Some Soul Master academies even spend huge sums of money and promise all sorts of benefits to poach students from other academies in order to attract talented Soul Masters.

"The elite class? Sure, I'm interested in that too."

Gu Shenge nodded, but he had to be the one to select the students for the elite class.

In the original novel, the students from Tianshui Academy were not strong. There were only three Soul Masters and four Soul Venerables. Apart from Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, who were only sixteen years old, the other five students were all around twenty years old.

To outsiders, the twenty-year-old Soul Masters seem to have excellent talent, but in Gu Shenge's eyes, their aptitude is too ordinary.

He needs to raise them to Soul King level within two years, and he can't use any pills. Even if he acquires the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he can't possibly waste a lot of immortal herbs to improve their cultivation.

Instead of dwelling on the original pairings of the Tianshui girl group, why not rearrange and reorganize them to create a new Tianshui girl group?

At the end of the dinner, Gu Shenge thanked Leng Qishuang for her hospitality. The beautiful dean just smiled awkwardly, not daring to look at Bibi Dong beside him, and watched them leave.

As Bibi Dong was leaving, she turned back and gave Leng Qishuang a cold glance, which frightened the mature beauty so much that her legs went weak and she almost knelt on the ground.

Back at Gu Shenge's villa, Bibi Dong couldn't wait to seduce him. She took his arm, looked up at him, parted her pink lips slightly, and licked her lips like a mother cat, before speaking seductively.

"Shengge, how are you going to punish me?"

After all, this was Bibi Dong's first offense, so Gu Shenge couldn't punish her too severely. Therefore, he decided to give the young woman a verbal lesson. If there was a next time, it wouldn't be so simple.

…………

Martial Soul City - Hall of Offerings.

Not long ago, Qian Daoliu arranged for someone to deliver Gu Shenge's information to Tiandou and hand it over to Qian Renxue.

When Qian Renxue learned that Haoyang Douluo, who was currently the most powerful figure on the continent, was actually the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Dynasty, she was shocked. She had been hiding for so many years and had no idea that Xue Qinghe had an older brother. The Heaven Dou royal family had hidden themselves too well!

If it were any other talented princes, Qian Renxue could arrange for them to be secretly disposed of. Although the two princes she had dealt with before had potential and could threaten her position, they were not worth mentioning.

But Gu Shenge is different. He has already matured. Not to mention dealing with him, she can't even shake him. Even if Qian Daoliu suspects that he joined the Spirit Hall for ulterior motives, he doesn't dare to take action against him openly.

Moreover, if Gu Shenge were to speak up, Emperor Xueye would likely abdicate and pass the throne to him immediately, rendering all her years of hard work infiltrating the palace futile.

In the end, Qian Renxue's reply to Qian Daoliu was to hold back for the time being. She would first test Gu Shengge to see what his views were on the Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Royal Family. After all, her current identity was Xue Qinghe.

However, Qian Daoliu was still somewhat worried. He was concerned that Gu Shenge might see through his granddaughter's disguise, and he was also afraid that Bibi Dong would ruin things, just like she had for over twenty years, spilling all the secrets of the Spirit Hall.

(The Tianshui girl group will remain the same, but there will be regular members and substitutes.)

Chapter 46: Bibi Dong, with her tea-like charm~

After giving Bibi Dong a verbal lecture, Gu Shenge forgave her previous estrangement and indifference, and even fed her a bowl of late-night soy milk, which was both heartwarming and comforting. However, the affection she felt for Bibi Dong was not as strong as before.

His Holiness the Pope naturally sensed that Gu Shenge no longer loved him as much as before, and felt very annoyed and regretful, while also feeling a sense of worry.

If he knew that his own brother had died in the Spirit Hall's plan, and that the current Xue Qinghe was an imposter, he would definitely be furious and might even turn against her, which is exactly what Bibi Dong least wants to see.

Nestled in Gu Shenge's arms, leaning lightly against his chest, the stunningly beautiful Pope listened to the man's rhythmic heartbeat. Her slender, fair hands drew circles on his chest, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of scarlet light and a touch of ruthlessness.

She would never let anyone take Gu Shenge away from her, and she would never let him leave her.

Bibi Dong has already missed one chance, so she will definitely not miss a second.

Her mind was already twisted, paranoid, and even insane; she no longer cared about love or liking. What she wanted was very simple: complete possession.

If the day truly comes that she must break ties with Gu Shenge, she will break his legs, cripple his cultivation, and chain him up, just to keep him by her side.

If even this can't keep him, then she'd rather destroy him than let Gu Shenge fall in love with another woman.

Bibi Dong glanced up slightly at the handsome and dashing man who was tossing his hair, and gently stroked his chest, murmuring to herself.

Shengge, I can fulfill all your requests, but don't disappoint me, or I can't guarantee what I might do.

"What are you thinking about?"

Gu Shenge looked down at the mature young woman in his arms, gently touching her wine-red hair. Seeing that she remained silent, he softly asked her a question.

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong collected her thoughts, shook her head, and indicated that she hadn't thought about anything. Seeing that she didn't say anything, Gu Shenge didn't ask any further questions. He hugged her and once again made a request to take things further, but was rejected by the mature young woman.

"Shengge, give me a little more time. When the time is right, I will give you what you want."

Bibi Dong pleaded softly with Gu Shenge, stopping him and asking him to give her some more time, at least until the Rakshasa God Trial was completed.

This made Gu Shenge look disappointed. He had run back and forth between first, second, and third base countless times, but Bibi Dong just wouldn't let him hit a home run, which made him very upset.

Noticing the disappointment in his eyes, Bibi Dong wavered for a moment, but quickly regained her resolve.

The reason she kept preventing Gu Shenge from hitting home runs was mainly because she was afraid he would discover that he wasn't as perfect as he imagined.

Secondly, I don't want him to get it too quickly; I want to keep him hanging on so he'll keep thinking about me.

The reason for waiting until after the Rakshasa God Trial is to give it to Gu Shenge is that after inheriting the Rakshasa God position, she can discard this unclean body and transform into a perfect Rakshasa God body.

When they are together, she will be able to help him achieve his perfect self.
