Douluo Continent: Who exactly is my father?

"Uh…"

For a moment, Bo Feng and Bibi Dong stood awkwardly in place, their eyes filled with complicated emotions, unsure of what to say.

“It’s getting late tonight, why don’t you stay at the Spirit Hall for the night and return to Heaven Dou City tomorrow?” Bibi Dong suggested.

Bo Feng quickly nodded in agreement; that was his plan too. After flying all day, they needed to find a place to stay. The Spirit Hall wasn't bad; they'd make do for the night.

"Well... Mother-in-law, I'll go to the room you arranged now, bye..."

Having said that, Namikaze hurriedly rushed out the door...

After confirming that no one was around and watching Bo Feng leave, Bibi Dong sat back on her throne, slumped down, and pressed her messy forehead. She couldn't help herself!

She looked up at the dome, and a single tear slowly rolled down her cheeks…

"Tang Feng, I believe you are not dead. When will you be able to... come back to my side?"

Outside the Papal Palace, Namikaze covered his swollen right cheek, speechless for the first time in his life, under the puzzled gazes of everyone.

Bofeng deliberately found a secluded spot to meet the person who had come to take him to his room.

The Spirit Hall was grand in scale, luxurious and magnificent, in no way inferior to the imperial palaces of the two capitals. Under that person's guidance, Bo Feng arrived at a relatively spacious room, more than 200 square meters in size, which had everything he needed.

Bofeng instructed the messenger to bring in some ice, preferably in bags.

The person responsible for bringing Namikaze here was taken aback, but bound by the Pope's orders, he had no choice but to retreat...

After confirming that the person had gone far away, Bofeng cautiously looked around, and after making sure that no one was around, he quickly and carefully closed the door.

Standing in front of the mirror at my seat, I carefully looked at my swollen right cheek; even the slightest touch was so painful.

"Hiss hiss hiss—"

"My mother-in-law is too ruthless. Luckily, I have thick skin, otherwise I would have had to get plastic surgery on my whole face!" Bo Feng couldn't help but gasp and complain.

"No, we have to leave first thing tomorrow morning. We need to get out of this troublesome place as soon as possible, or we don't know when the next slap will come."

"Dong dong dong..."

Just then, there was a knock at the door…

"Boss Bo, the ice you ordered is ready, you..."

Before the visitor could finish speaking, Bofeng, with lightning speed, snatched the ice pack from the visitor's hand as the door opened a crack, and then slammed the door shut.

"... "

The man continued, "Boss Bo, there's one more thing."

"What's the matter?"

"His Holiness the Pope has asked me to inform you that a banquet has been prepared for tonight, and he would like to invite you to join us."

"understood!"

After he finished speaking, the sound of the wind subsided on the other side of the door…

"Hiss..."

"So cool!"

Bofeng took an ice pack and placed it on her swollen cheek. Instantly, she felt the whole world cool down, and the burning sensation was gone forever.

While using ice to relieve the pain, Bofeng muttered to himself...

"My mother-in-law invited me to dinner? This dinner is probably something special. Is it really to welcome me back? Or is it to make up for the slap I gave her?"

Holy crap!!!

Bo Feng instinctively used too much force, and the pain made him grit his teeth. He vowed to stay away from his mother-in-law, or else… the consequences would be right here…

……

Before we knew it, dusk had fallen, and the sun was setting...

The handprint on Namikaze's right cheek had faded considerably; from a distance, it looked alright, but up close, it was clearly a bright red handprint. Invited by Bibi Dong, Namikaze arrived at the banquet hall, where a spacious table was already laden with all sorts of delicious food.

Bibi Dong had already taken her seat, and when she saw Bo Feng approaching with his face covered, she deliberately avoided eye contact. Her handsome son-in-law had been slapped by his mother-in-law.

Looking at Bo Feng's sullen face, Bibi Dong coughed and said, "Eat up, eat your fill. Consider this meal my apology to you, my son-in-law. I'm really sorry about today; I couldn't control my emotions."

Bofeng remained silent, clearly annoyed. A sudden slap would elicit a reaction from anyone; it wasn't something that could be resolved with just a meal…

Bibi Dong kept her head down and ate a little bit here and there, her eyes occasionally glancing at Bo Feng, who was bowing his head and remaining silent. She felt guilty towards her son-in-law; that slap had been a significant blow to him…

That's quite a lot. From childhood to adulthood, no matter how strict her mother was, she wouldn't easily lay a finger on her son, let alone slap him. Bibi Dong has truly set a precedent...

Chapter 142 Does Hu Liena hate me?

During the lavish dinner, the two of them didn't utter a single word...

"I've finished eating, I'm going back now..."

The moment he put down his chopsticks, Namikaze suddenly spoke, breaking the silence.

Bibi Dong frowned slightly, looking at the remaining food on the table and Bo Feng's nonchalant attitude, and immediately said with dissatisfaction, "Have you finished eating? There are still so many dishes on the table that haven't been touched!"

Bo Feng avoided eye contact, looking slightly flustered, and said, "I've finished eating. I have to rush back tomorrow, so I'll rest now. Goodnight, Mother-in-law."

After saying that, Bo Feng hurriedly left, unable to stay with Bibi Dong any longer. His right cheek still felt burning. It was the first time in his life he had been slapped, and he was completely unaware of what had happened. To make matters worse, it was his mother-in-law who had slapped him, and she had used an unusually strong force.

"This guy seems to hold a grudge..." Bibi Dong murmured, watching Bo Feng disappear into the distance.

Leaving the dining hall, Namikaze ran at an extremely fast pace. Under the cover of darkness, it seemed as if Namikaze had bumped into something soft...

"Boom..."

Unsurprisingly, another accident occurred...

"Hey! Can't you watch where you're going?" ×2

As the dark clouds dispersed, the bright moonlight illuminated the scene before us…

"Hu Liena?"

"Namikaze?"

Upon recognizing who it was, the two hurriedly stood up…

"Miss Hu Liena, why are you wandering around in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?" Bo Feng asked, puzzled.

But all she got in return was a glare from Hu Liena, who immediately retorted angrily, "It's all because of you!"

"Because of me?" Namikaze asked, puzzled.

"What do you think?" Hu Liena said angrily, her beautiful eyes still furrowed, showing no kindness whatsoever towards Bo Feng.

"Today you fought with Yan and even suggested to the teacher that we train in a stressful place. I can forgive all that, but what I never expected was that the teacher actually agreed to your suggestion and made us set off for the Lost Canyon tomorrow for a year of training. Do you know what the Lost Canyon is? It's a place even ghosts don't want to stay in. How could you be so heartless as to suggest that!"

(Ghost Douluo: You're subtly criticizing me...)

Faced with Hu Liena's questioning, Bo Feng scratched his head sheepishly. It was understandable, as he had only casually mentioned it, and Bibi Dong's adoption of it surprised him greatly.

After all, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Tournament a year from now is extremely important to the Spirit Hall. Not only for the three of them, but also for the three soul bones that originally belonged to them, it is a crucial step for the Spirit Hall's next move.

At the time, Bo Feng was just saying it casually. As for why his mother-in-law would adopt it and implement it immediately, Bo Feng said he didn't understand what was going on.

(Bibi Dong: My son-in-law is not someone anyone can bully.)

"With your level of skill? Do you think you can win in the finals?"

"What do you mean by this?" Hu Liena asked sensitively, "Are you looking down on us? Then why did you come to the Spirit Hall?"

"I'm here to visit relatives, is that not allowed? It's been more than half a year since I last saw you, and your strength hasn't improved much. I really don't know what you've been training for all this time," Bo Feng complained. "Take Yan for example, one hit from my hammer and this guy went limp."

Hu Liena clenched her fist, took out a sharp dagger from her bosom, and with a flash of white light, slashed deadly at Bo Feng.

"You are crazy!"

Bo Feng quickly dodged, but Hu Liena, as Bibi Dong's disciple, was extremely agile and nearly...

This dodging wasn't a solution; Bo Feng was unwilling to lay a hand on a woman, let alone his mother-in-law's disciple.

The crown of the sea god shone with a dazzling light, and Hu Liena suddenly felt an inexplicable pressure. She curled up on the ground, feeling like she was in a quagmire. The more she struggled, the deeper she sank.

Hu Liena suppressed her anger, looked at Bo Feng, and shouted, "If you're so capable, fight me one-on-one! Using such underhanded tactics, are you even a man?"

Namikaze: "..."

“You’re the one who initiated the attack, Miss Hu Liena. Please calm down. I know about the Lost Canyon. For you all right now, improving your strength is of utmost importance.”

Immediately afterward, Bofeng stepped forward and removed the dagger from Hu Liena's hand. Only after ensuring safety did he slowly retract the Light of the Sea God…

“You…” Hu Liena stammered…

"What exactly is this thing? It was the same half a year ago, and it even repaired the damage left by your attack during that battle."

The Evil Whale Demon-Slaying Slash struck Hu Liena squarely, and its malevolent aura immediately caused Hu Liena to become irritable, even inexplicably going berserk.

Under the baptism of the Sea God's light, Hu Liena returned to normal, and by sheer coincidence, her soul power inexplicably increased by one level. Her subconscious told her that this blue-gold light was no ordinary thing.

"Things you shouldn't know, Miss Hu Liena, you should at least stay away from. Yan is arrogant and conceited, and I believe Miss Hu Liena knows this better than I do. The competition is less than a year away, and you'll have quite a few opponents this time. Be careful not to be caught off guard and suffer an unexpected setback," Bo Feng specifically warned.

After listening to what Bo Feng said, the three of them, as the golden generation of the Spirit Hall, had their own pride. Young people always have a kind of indomitable spirit.

"The three of us are Soul Kings. No matter how strong our opponents are this time, we will personally take them down in one fell swoop. The final victory will surely belong to the Spirit Hall!" Hu Liena said resolutely, her eyes revealing a strong fighting spirit.

Bofeng glanced at Hu Liena, who was brimming with fighting spirit, and smiled. "Alright, I wish you all the best in winning the championship. If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now..."

"Wait!" Hu Liena immediately called out...

"What's wrong? Are you suggesting I stay for dinner?"

"You still have my dagger, you have to return it to me, don't you?"

Namikaze: "..."

After returning the dagger, Hu Liena suddenly asked, "You have twin martial souls, right?"

Bo Feng nodded. "That's right. You know what happened today. That hammer of mine is indeed the Clear Sky Hammer. Isn't your Spirit Hall an enemy of the Clear Sky Sect? You don't necessarily want to fight me, do you?"

"Do not……"

Hu Liena shook her head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Can I see your Clear Sky Hammer? The Clear Sky Hammer has special significance for me."

Bo Feng was puzzled, and though he didn't know the reason, he still obeyed Hu Liena's wishes. A dark light flashed in his right hand, and the Haotian Hammer, radiating dark red magical patterns, was revealed...

Looking at the familiar Clear Sky Hammer, Hu Liena's eyes flickered, and for a moment, she was somewhat absorbed in it...
