In Douluo Continent, the Pope used me as a substitute for my first love.

Chapter 145 The Heartbreaking Red Acacia and Bibi Dong (Part 1)

"Not even twelve years old..."

At this moment, Dugu Bo's expression faltered for a moment upon hearing Wang Zhao's words.

What kind of monster is this?!

Then, he pondered, realizing that since the Spirit Hall had revealed so much to him today, he feared that if he and his beloved granddaughter disagreed, they would be stuck here forever.

After all, the Spirit Hall would never leave an unstable element in the world who knows the secrets of their plan and possesses terrifying destructive power over a wide area, at the level of a Title Douluo.

Then, Dugu Bo glanced at the Spirit Hall Title Douluos present without making a sound, and finally had to admit that he had no chance of winning.

Finally glancing at his beloved granddaughter behind him, who was still unaware of everything and absorbing the power of the immortal herbs, Dugu Bo turned to Wang Zhao, opened his mouth, and was about to say something when he suddenly stopped.

"...After all, the Heavenly Dou royal family has been kind to me."

He said in a low voice.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhao couldn't help but laugh.

"Senior Dugu, I know you are the most loyal and righteous, and you always seek revenge, but shouldn't there be a limit?"

"That Prince Xuexing only saved you from Elder Ju's clutches once by relying on the power of the Heaven Dou Empire. Are you really going to 'remain chaste' for the Heaven Dou royal family for so many years? You just said you wouldn't submit to any power, but how is this any different from being subservient to the Heaven Dou royal family?"

"Moreover, the Heaven Dou royal family has asked you for help quite a few times over the years, hasn't they? If we're talking about repaying favors, they should have done so long ago. After all, asking a Title Douluo like you for help isn't just about the small reward the Heaven Dou royal family offers; they're relying more on your personal connections."

Upon hearing this, even Dugu Bo, who was still fuming, couldn't help but nod. He thought to himself that Wang Zhao was so terrifying at such a young age, seeing things so clearly. Was he really the same age as his granddaughter?

Seeing the hesitation flash across Dugu Bo's face, Wang Zhao pressed his advantage, saying:

"Of course, if you still have concerns, Senior Dugu, you can simply refrain from participating in the conflict between my Spirit Hall and the Heaven Dou Empire in the future. My Spirit Hall does not like to do things that force others to do things against their will."

"this……"

Dugu Bo hesitated repeatedly about this, after all, it concerned his and even the entire Dugu family's "life-long event," and could not be taken lightly.

However, you said you don't like to force people to do things against their will, is that really true?

Finally, he tentatively asked:

"Could you give me some more time to think about it?"

Wang Zhao then gave him a deep look and nodded.

"certainly."

Immediately, the alluring Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan leaped out, exuding charm and saying:

"Old poisoner, we're too busy to waste time here with you. You'd better make a decision quickly."

"..."

Not long after, the powerful members of the Spirit Hall, led by the "herbalist" Yue Guan and Yang Wudi, began to explore this treasure land, which Wang Zhao called the "Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye." As for Wang Zhao himself, he went to a small mountain peak to talk with his long-lost sister Dong'er. Qian Renxue originally wanted to come along, but was temporarily sent away by the Sacred Lotus of Earth Core that Wang Zhao pulled out.

"Sister Dong'er, how have you been lately?"

Wang Zhao first greeted them.

"What else can I do? As the Pope, I have countless administrative duties to handle every day."

As Bibi Dong spoke, she couldn't help but roll her eyes at Wang Zhao.

"Besides, you're a well-known figure on the mainland now, and you're not getting any younger, so why do you still call me Sister Dong'er?"

"I have a friend on the mainland who calls you Sister Dong'er. Is there any conflict between us?"

Wang Zhao blinked, her face full of innocence.

"Don't pretend to be innocent, I won't be fooled by your act."

Bibi Dong had already developed a certain level of resistance to Wang Zhao's "innocence".

Wang Zhao looked into the distance and suddenly smiled.

"Since Sister Dong'er doesn't like this address, I'll change it..."

"?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was taken aback. She had only said it casually, but now that she suddenly saw Wang Zhao looking like he really wanted to change how he addressed her, she felt a little uncomfortable for some reason.

"Let's drop the 'sister' title. From now on, I'll call you Dong'er, okay?"

Wang Zhao then continued.

Bibi Dong: ? ? ?

Wang Zhao: Watch me unleash my ultimate move at point-blank range!

"Get lost!"

She immediately spat.

"I'm the Pope, and your teacher too! Show me some respect!"

Wang Zhao's expression suddenly became somewhat strange.

pope?

teacher?

What about this stack of buffs? Mentioning it now will only excite him more.

After making her harsh remarks, Bibi Dong fell silent for a moment.

If anyone else dared to call her "Dong'er," she would have already activated her spirit rings by now. But when it came to Wang Zhao, aside from feeling a little strange, she didn't feel any aversion at all.

It’s weird.

The eerie atmosphere lasted for a short while before Wang Zhao took out a gemstone storage soul tool and handed it to Bibi Dong.

"Here are some freshly picked immortal herbs, some rare and precious items, and the Martial Soul Transformation Pills I've refined over the past month. Each has its own specific attributes and effects. I've also compiled a list of suitable individuals for taking these pills, including but not limited to outstanding young members of the Martial Soul Hall, led by my junior sisters, as well as Title Douluos. You can use this as a reference, Sister Dong'er."

Hearing Wang Zhao quietly change her address back to "Sister Dong'er," Bibi Dong nodded as if she didn't mind, took the storage gem, examined it, and then asked in confusion, "Isn't there one for me?"

"Of course."

Wang Zhao wiped the storage ring on his hand, and two jade boxes quickly appeared.

"The teacher's precious herbs should naturally be offered to him by his students."

"Under normal circumstances, each Soul Master can only consume one Immortal Herb at most, so Sister Dong'er, you need to choose one of the two."

"oh."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of interest.

"Tell me first, what are they?"

Wang Zhao then opened the jade box in his right palm, revealing a snow-white immortal herb. The herb was crystal clear, and each leaf seemed to be dripping with water. It was slender and curved, looking like the neck of a swan.

"Sister Dong'er, this immortal herb is called Snow Swan Kiss. ​​It is not poisonous, but it has the miraculous effect of causing viruses to multiply a thousandfold. It was probably Dugu Bo who was unlucky enough to encounter it at first. He suffered a setback because he knew nothing about it and was tormented quite a bit. So even now, he has not dared to explore the other herbs around the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well."

"A snow-white swan's kiss..."

Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.

With her intelligence, she naturally understood immediately how this immortal herb could help her. After all, both of her Spider Emperor Martial Souls were more or less capable of understanding the art of poison, and even if they were only partially capable, they were still stronger than Dugu Bo, the legitimate Poison Douluo.
