Chapter 93: Bibi Dong Takes Action to Drive Away the Third Wheel, Ah Yin!
"Could it be that the tempering in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was too intense, causing hallucinations?"
"Or did my spirit power increase too quickly, leaving my body too weak to handle the nourishment?"
Lin Qingmo shook his head, trying to shake off this absurd feeling.
"Ah Yin?"
He subconsciously called out softly, looking at the pale blue vines that extended from his right leg.
Usually, when he woke up, Ah Yin would gently respond to him, conveying feelings of reassurance.
However, today, those few strands of Blue Silver Emperor vines seemed somewhat listless.
The grass leaves drooped weakly, only managing to move slightly when he called out.
The emotion conveyed was also extremely weary.
"What’s wrong, Ah Yin? Did something special happen last night?"
Lin Qingmo’s heart skipped a beat, and he touched the vines.
Ah Yin’s reaction was not right.
Ah Yin’s vines moved again, conveying a more complex emotion.
How was she supposed to "speak"?
Should she gesture with her vines?
That dangerous woman, Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong... she certainly didn’t try to kill Qingmo, nor did she truly cross that final line.
But... apart from that last step, everything that should be done, could be done, and shouldn’t be done, she practically did it all!
That kind of possessive behavior.
Just "watching" it made Ah Yin’s spiritual consciousness burn.
And she herself was isolated outside by that damned spirit power barrier, unable to do anything.
She could only watch helplessly as Qingmo was taken advantage of without his knowledge.
Finally, before that woman left, she even happily, in a seemingly boastful manner, helped Qingmo straighten out his body and eliminate all the "evidence" that might have left traces.
That’s why Qingmo now only felt pleasantly sore and comfortable, unable to recall the specific details.
As for her, Ah Yin.
Besides helping A-Qing clean up the residual water stains and aura on his body after the barrier was removed, she could do nothing else.
Frustrating!
Utterly frustrating!
Ah Yin’s vines curled up in distress.
Lin Qingmo was made even more confused by Ah Yin’s reaction.
Just as he was about to ask more carefully.
A familiar figure slowly walked into his view.
Bibi Dong was still wearing her signature black robe.
In her hand, she held a jade bowl containing a fragrant, pale golden liquid brewed from unknown herbs.
The morning light plated her body with a soft golden rim.
This made her appear less sharp and imposing than her usual Supreme Pontiff demeanor, adding a touch of softness.
"Awake?"
She stopped beside Lin Qingmo.
Her purple eyes were calm and unmoving.
As if the passionate, obsessive, and possessive woman inside the barrier last night was merely a phantom.
"Master!"
Lin Qingmo quickly tried to get up and bow, but the soreness made him grimace.
"Don’t move. Drink this medicine first. It strengthens your foundation and Cultivates your origin, which is beneficial for your body after absorbing the Immortal Herb."
Bibi Dong’s tone was very natural.
She handed the jade bowl to him.
Then she sat down on a nearby rock, her movements elegant.
"Thank you, Master."
Lin Qingmo took the bowl; a warm sensation transmitted through the wall of the bowl.
He took a sip.
The liquid medicine was sweet with a hint of bitterness. After entering his stomach, it turned into a warm current, significantly alleviating the soreness in his body.
While drinking the medicine, he couldn’t help but look up at Bibi Dong’s perfect profile.
After hesitating for a moment, he finally asked:
"Master, last night... I seem to have had a very strange dream, and I woke up with body aches. Is this a side effect of refining the Immortal Herb?"
Hearing this, Bibi Dong turned her head to look at him.
Her gaze lingered on his face for a moment, seemingly observing his expression.
Only after confirming there were no issues did she speak indifferently.
"Yes, the energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is overly aggressive. Although you successfully absorbed the Immortal Herb, your physical and mental consumption was too great, causing you to fall into a deep slumber. Some discomfort is normal; you’ll be fine after resting for two days."
Lin Qingmo said "Oh" and nodded.
If Master said so, then it must be true.
After all, the pain of the ice and fire tempering was still fresh in his memory.
Massive consumption leading to deep sleep and muscle soreness sounded very reasonable.
As for those vague dreams... they were probably a stress response from his body being in an extreme state?
The doubt in his heart slowly dissipated in the face of Bibi Dong’s matter-of-fact attitude.
It couldn’t possibly be that Master did... that to him, right?
Haha, how could that be? That’s his Master!
He was definitely overthinking things; he must have read too many manga about Master/Rebellious Disciple types and gotten holes in his brain.
Lin Qingmo severely criticized himself internally.
"How do you feel?"
Bibi Dong shifted the topic at the right moment, her tone carrying a touch of appropriate concern.
"Are you satisfied with the effect of the Immortal Herb?"
Mentioning this.
Lin Qingmo immediately threw those messy thoughts to the back of his mind.
His eyes instantly lit up, and his excitement was palpable.
"Extremely satisfied, Master! The effect is absolutely explosive!"
The spirit power in his Dantian surged like a rushing river, many times thicker and more solid than before.
His Meridians were broad and resilient, like the main channels of a river, shining with a faint jade luster.
He raised his right hand, palm upward, and summoned his Spirit.
A crystal-clear Blue Silver Grass appeared.
The grass leaves stretched out, and ice blue and crimson gold lights flowed alternately through the veins, exuding a powerful aura that was both resilient and agile.
"My Blue Silver Grass now possesses the characteristics of being impervious to ice and fire, and repelling all poisons."
Lin Qingmo stroked the grass leaves lovingly, his tone full of pride.
"I no longer have to fear being completely countered by Fire-type Spirit Masters, and I feel like its resilience and vitality have all taken a huge step up!"
"My mental force has also skyrocketed! Absorbing a 40,000-year spirit ring is definitely stable now!"
Lin Qingmo confidently waved his fist, looking at Bibi Dong with an undisguised, brilliant smile.
"Master, I owe you so much for bringing me here this time!"
Looking at the pure joy on the youth’s face, his vigorous youthful energy, and his eyes full of confidence in the future.
A trace of undetectable tenderness and satisfaction flashed deep within Bibi Dong’s purple eyes.
She liked this feeling of being liked and relied upon by A-Qing.
Bibi Dong stood up, her black robe swaying.
"Very good. Your spirit power has also reached the Level FortyBottleneck. Next, it’s time to acquire your fourth spirit ring."
Lin Qingmo scratched his head.
He said somewhat sheepishly, "Master, I want to return to Shrek Academy first."
He paused, his voice softening: "Xiao Wu is still waiting for me. It’s been so long; I should let her know."
"..."
Bibi Dong was silent.
Hearing Lin Qingmo mention another woman in front of her did not put her in a good mood.
However, it was hard to refuse, so she just nodded.
Lin Qingmo’s eyes lit up.
"Oh right, Master, can I take some Immortal Herbs with me?"
"I’ve already prepared them for you."
Bibi Dong raised her hand and waved casually.
A silver light flashed, and an exquisite spirit tool floated in front of Lin Qingmo.
"This is a Living Creature Storage Spirit Tool. It contains quite a few Immortal Herbs."
"!!!"
Lin Qingmo was astonished.
Master had actually prepared it for him already.
He took the spirit tool and eagerly probed it with his mental force.
The next second, he gasped sharply.
Holy crap, so many!
Inside the spirit tool were dozens of types of Immortal Herbs, including the Qiluo Tulip, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Narcissus Jade Bone, Fragrant Scented Immortal Herb, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, and many others.
"Master, you are too kind!"
Lin Qingmo was so excited he nearly jumped up.
The expression on his face while holding the spirit tool was like someone who had won the lottery.
Bibi Dong looked at his appearance, and a hint of indulgence flashed in her eyes.
But soon, her tone returned to normal: "Let Ah Yin come out."
"Ah Yin?"
Lin Qingmo was stunned, somewhat confused.
"She’s doing fine staying in the Spirit Bone, what’s wrong?"
"The environment of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is most suitable for her to stabilize her foundation and recover her cultivation."
Bibi Dong walked toward the edge of the well.
"Letting her stay here to Cultivate will benefit her greatly, much better than constantly hiding in your Spirit Bone."
She certainly wouldn’t state her real thoughts.
This 100,000 yearsBlue Silver Emperor stays on A-Qing all day long. Next time she wants to get intimate with A-Qing, does she have to be watched by a blade of grass?
That would be too much of a mood killer.
