Chapter 28: Who Dares to Sleep with the Supreme Pontiff Until Dawn?
[A Rogue Rabbit]: This... can the first spirit ring be a thousand-year one?
Xiao Wu was both happy for Lin Qingmo and a bit lost.
She was a Spirit Beast in human form.
Her first few spirit rings were self-generated.
Therefore, she couldn’t absorb spirit rings like human Spirit Masters.
Naturally, she couldn’t perform an over-limit absorption either.
"I can’t be like A-Qing."
All she could do seemed to be working hard to increase her spirit powerRank, so as not to fall too far behind.
[The Pope Herself]: A-Qing, congratulations on getting what you wished for.
Bibi Dong’s words were as calm as ever.
After all, she was the first to know and had personally witnessed Lin Qingmo absorbing the Heavenly Azure Vinespirit ring.
Seeing him succeed now, she also felt happy for him.
However, she had to offer congratulations using two identities.
[Grass Mother]: Congratulations, A-Qing!
Not only did she congratulate him as Grass Mother within the Chat Group.
Ah Yin’s branches and leaves also swayed gently against Lin Qingmo to express her congratulations.
[Daddy Douluo]: Thank you, everyone.
[Daddy Douluo]: Actually, the reason I could absorb such a compatible 2,000-year spirit ring is all thanks to Master and Ah Yin!
[Daddy Douluo]: Master specifically helped me find the Heavenly Azure VineImmortal Herb.
[Daddy Douluo]: And she was the one who helped me improve my physical fitness; otherwise, I wouldn’t have been able to withstand the energy of a 2,000-year spirit ring.
[Daddy Douluo]: And then there’s Ah Yin.
[Daddy Douluo]: The Heavenly Azure Vine isn’t a real Spirit Beast and doesn’t have a spirit ring. It was Ah Yin who helped me condense its energy into a spirit ring so I could successfully absorb it!
Lin Qingmo explained in detail.
His words were full of gratitude.
His achievements today were inseparable from the help of those two... oh no, one person and one grass.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: You brat... daring to absorb a thousand-year spirit ring without fear of bursting yourself, that’s also quite a feat.
Having said that.
Liu Erlong still couldn’t hide the envy in her heart.
If she had met such a teacher back then, she wouldn’t be just a Spirit Saint now.
She felt more and more that Lin Qingmo’s luck was simply too good.
Not only did he have a Titled DouluoMaster’s guidance, but he also had a 100,000-Year Soul Beast helping him.
[The Pope Herself]: A-Qing, shouldn’t you introduce your Spirit Ability?
Even though she already knew.
But out of professional etiquette as a role-player, Bibi Dong still asked again in her capacity as an online friend.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Right, what is your first Spirit Ability?
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: A 2,000-year first spirit ring—the Spirit Ability can’t be bad.
[Daddy Douluo]: My first Spirit Ability is called Azure Soul-Bathing Barrier.
Lin Qingmo described the composition of his Spirit Ability and the results of Bibi Dong’s tests for him.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: So perverted?!
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: This first Spirit Ability of yours could probably rival someone else’s Spirit AncestorSpirit Ability. You really are a Little freak.
[A Rogue Rabbit]: A-Qing, your Spirit Ability is so amazing! It can buff, heal, and even attack. It’s simply perfect!
Xiao Wu’s eyes sparkled with nothing but admiration.
Her first Spirit Ability was "Waist Bow," which improved her own resilience.
Compared to Lin Qingmo’s Azure Soul-Bathing Barrier, it was simply far inferior.
[The Pope Herself]: Azure Soul-Bathing Barrier is indeed a Spirit Ability with enormous potential. At the very least, it’s a starting point for being invincible among those of the same Rank.
[The Pope Herself]: Of course, all of this is predicated on the fact that your control over Blue Silver Grass doesn’t require a Spirit Ability for support.
[Daddy Douluo]: This is all thanks to Ah Yin’s Spirit Bone. Otherwise, I might have ended up like Tang San, getting some trash Spirit Ability like "Binding" for my first one.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Tsk, that’s true.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Being unable to naturally control one’s own Spirit and having to waste a Spirit Ability just to drive it is indeed a step behind others.
[Daddy Douluo]: In short, I’m invincible; they can do as they please.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: You brat, don’t get carried away.
[Mother Tyrannosaurus]: Although your Spirit Ability is strong, your spirit powerRank is still low. There’s still a lot for you to learn in the future.
Liu Erlong couldn’t help but complain.
But in her heart, she was truly a bit envious.
Compared to Lin Qingmo’s, her own first, second, and third were completely unwatchable... Under the night moon.
In a temporary wooden hut on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, the candlelight flickered, casting a warm yellow glow over the interior.
Today, there was no devil training like usual, nor was there a warm medicinal bath.
A faint serenity permeated the air.
Bibi Dong, her face half-covered by a light mask, took off her voluminous black robe.
She changed into a set of silk white pajamas.
The fabric was as soft as gauze, outlining her graceful figure.
She lay down naturally on the bed.
She reached out her arm and beckoned to Lin Qingmo, who was standing by the bed.
"Come here."
Lin Qingmo then skillfully climbed onto the bed and burrowed into Bibi Dong’s embrace.
The warm embrace was soft and comfortable, with a faint fragrance that made him relax instantly.
For the past half year or so, he had fallen asleep in Bibi Dong’s arms almost every night like this.
Especially when he felt unbearably hot after consuming Whale Glue.
Only in her arms could he sleep peacefully.
Bibi Dong gently held him.
Her chin rested on the crown of his azure hair.
Her fingers gently combed through his hair.
Her eyes overflowed with a tenderness rarely seen on ordinary days.
"A-Qing, your training is over."
Bibi Dong’s soft voice broke the silence in the room.
"It’s over?"
Lin Qingmo raised his head, looking past the peaks before him into Bibi Dong’s eyes.
"Yes. You can leave the Star Dou Great Forest and return to Nuoding Academy."
Bibi Dong gazed into his eyes.
Her calm tone was laced with an imperceptible reluctance to part.
"Much of the road ahead, you will need to walk on your own."
Lin Qingmo was stunned for a moment.
He quickly understood the implication of separation in Bibi Dong’s words.
He felt a bit dejected.
He tightly hugged Bibi Dong’s soft waist.
"Then where are you going, Master? Aren’t you coming with me?"
Bibi Dong shook her head gently.
Her soft fingertips brushed across his cheek.
"Naturally, I cannot go back to Nuoding Academy with you."
"I have my things to do, and you have your own path to walk."
"But don’t worry, I will come to find you again at the right time—for example, when you need your next spirit ring."
"But I don’t want to leave you."
Lin Qingmo buried his head in Bibi Dong’s chest.
"I feel like I’ve become someone who can’t sleep without Master holding me."
Hearing his childish words.
Bibi Dong couldn’t help but chuckle.
She lowered her head and gave him a light kiss on the forehead.
"You must learn to be independent. When you become strong enough to stand on your own, we can be together forever."
"Really?"
"Really."
Bibi Dong nodded.
It was a casual promise.
But as she made it.
Reluctance also grew in her heart.
Lin Qingmo’s presence had brought so much warmth and joy to her cold life.
Watching him grow from a little brat with Rank 4 Innate Spirit Power into a Spirit Master with a purple first spirit ring who could face Spirit Beasts alone.
Her heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment.
But she also knew she couldn’t stay by his side forever.
She was the Supreme Pontiff of Spirit Hall.
And Lin Qingmo also needed to experience the wind and rain on his own, without her protection, to truly grow up.
The two of them, one big and one small, held each other tightly, enjoying this brief moment of tenderness.
The candlelight gradually dimmed.
The room fell into silence once more.
Only their steady breaths were intertwined... The next morning.
Lin Qingmo woke up in Bibi Dong’s embrace.
Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the wooden hut, falling on Bibi Dong’s face.
She was already awake.
She was watching the A-Qing in her arms tenderly.
Even the beauty of half her face was enough to leave Lin Qingmo dazed.
"Stop daydreaming. Get up."
...A moment later.
The two of them got ready.
"Master, I’m leaving."
Lin Qingmo said reluctantly.
"Mm."
Bibi Dong nodded.
Her slender fingers helped him tidy his clothes.
"Remember, with me as your Master, you don’t need to deliberately hide your brilliance."
"I understand."
Lin Qingmo nodded vigorously.
"I will Cultivate hard and become strong as soon as possible, waiting for you to come find me!"
"Good."
Bibi Dong smiled slightly.
She watched as Lin Qingmo turned and left the wooden hut.
Until his figure gradually disappeared into the morning mist of the Star Dou Great Forest...
