Douluo, Qingmei Qianrenxue, Opening with Soul Ring Changing to Soul Vein 53

Chapter 53: You Dare Call Him Little Wind!?

Lin Feng wanted to exchange a celestial herb for some authority within the Pope’s Palace, to be used when his wife, Qian Renxue, eventually takes over the Palace of the Supply.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong aimed to get a celestial herb for free. Even if she lost, she could still use this opportunity to draw closer to Lin Feng, facilitating her own plans.

Lin Feng smiled, gently stroked Qian Renxue’s delicate hand, and then took out a jade box from his storage ring.

Inside the jade box was a pale pink flower, leafless, with a three-foot-long stem and an extraordinarily large blossom.

Each petal was as clear and transparent as crystal, with purple stamens embedded in the center like jewels.

It was the幽香绮罗仙品 (Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin) – a celestial herb known for its exquisite fragrance and healing properties.

“This flower is called Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin. While it cannot directly counteract poison, it’s a nemesis to all toxins, capable of neutralizing them.”

The moment the jade box opened, a fragrant aroma filled the room.

Everyone felt refreshed and at ease.

Bibi Dong, in particular, stared at the celestial herb in Lin Feng’s hand with a somewhat vacant expression.

Upon smelling the fragrance, she felt the tormenting mental pressure and the pain of the Rakshasa God’s power corroding her body lessen considerably.

Her gaze towards the Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin burned with desire.

The malicious influence of the Rakshasa God’s power relentlessly tormented her. Now, something that could suppress this torment had finally appeared, how could she not be excited?

Her hand trembled slightly as she received the jade box from Lin Feng, greedily inhaling the fragrant scent.

Her consciousness immediately became clearer.

Lin Feng silently observed Bibi Dong’s expression, secretly nodding. As expected, the Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin could somewhat suppress the Rakshasa’s malevolent influence.

It wasn’t much, but it was enough. This way, Bibi Dong shouldn’t go completely insane anytime soon.

That would buy him time to devise a countermeasure.

(Didn’t expect this, Bibi Dong. This celestial herb I gave you was also part of my plan.)

Bibi Dong, with the Youxiang Qiluo Xianpin safely in her possession, let out a long sigh.

She looked at Lin Feng, her eyes filled with an unreadable expression. (I truly didn’t expect it, Lin Feng. You’ve given me another surprise.)

Her greed intensified.

Resuming her composure, Bibi Dong sat back down.

“Little Wind,” she said, “tell me, what amount of whale gelatin should I give to Nana, and how much will it increase her second spirit ring’s years?”

Qian Renxue’s brows furrowed, and she abruptly stood up.

“You dare call him Little Wind!?”

A playful smile touched Bibi Dong’s lips.

“What? You can call him that, but I can’t? I’m older than him, that’s a fact, so what if I call him Little Wind?”

Qian Renxue glared fiercely at Bibi Dong.

“You’re not allowed to call him that!”

Bibi Dong propped her chin up with her hand, watching the flustered Qian Renxue with amusement. “I’ll call him whatever I want, so what?”

“You… you’ve got what you wanted, now get out!”

“Slap!”

Qian Renxue slammed her hand on the table, her eyes blazing at Bibi Dong. (Get out… this is the first time I’ve heard this good daughter of mine say that word. It seems she really likes Lin Feng…)

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes and stood up.

Ling Yuan, almost simultaneously, stood in front of Lin Feng and Qian Renxue.

“Why are you so afraid of me? I’m not going to do anything. In fact, I’m very grateful that Little Wind gave me the celestial herb.”

Qian Renxue took a deep breath. For some reason, hearing Bibi Dong call him “Little Wind” ignited her anger.

Lin Feng stood up, glancing at the distraught Hu Liena, whose bewildered and panicked expression was unmistakable. He positioned himself in front of Qian Renxue, shielding Bibi Dong from her view.

“If you use a thousand-year whale gelatin, you can set the years at 1100. If it’s a ten-thousand-year whale gelatin, it can be around 1700 years. Only one piece should be absorbed in a short period of time; more is useless. The effect will diminish with each subsequent usage, eventually reaching a limit. It ultimately depends on her condition. I’m sure the Pope has the means to assess Hu Liena’s body’s tolerance.”

Bibi Dong nodded, taking Hu Liena’s small hand.

She walked a few steps to the side, smiling at Qian Renxue, who was behind Lin Feng.

“See? Little Wind is considerate, isn’t he?”

With that, she left with Hu Liena.

Qian Renxue emerged from behind Lin Feng, her gaze fixed on Bibi Dong and Hu Liena’s clasped hands.

Anger flashed in her eyes. She had never held hands with anyone growing up. This so-called direct disciple, who appeared from nowhere, how dare she receive such treatment?

Qian Renxue snorted, angrily smashing the teacup Bibi Dong had used.

“Why does she get to call him Little Wind? Why can she be so brazen?”

She angrily gulped down a mouthful of tea and looked at Lin Feng.

“Little Wind, why did you have to give back part of the Knights’ authority? Let her be the damn Pope if she wants. I wouldn’t want that boring life for decades, and giving her a celestial herb is such a waste.”

Lin Feng shrugged. She intends to create a Wuhun Empire, conquer the other two empires, subdue the duchies, and unify the continent.

If he gave her all the forces related to military power, it would be difficult to control her later.

“Her ambitions are immense. Absolute power is never a good thing. It’s good to create a balance early on. Besides, she will eventually find out about the celestial herbs; it’s just a matter of time. It’s better to make it clear now rather than causing further trouble later.”

Qian Renxue pouted and nodded reluctantly.

“Fine, but it still makes me angry.”

Ling Yuan breathed a sigh of relief when Bibi Dong and Hu Liena finally disappeared from sight.

“Little Wind, don’t let your guard down. There’s an aura about her that makes me uneasy. Although I don’t know why her attitude has changed so drastically this time, it’s better to be cautious if she tries to attack you again like last time.”

Lin Feng nodded.

“Don’t worry too much. We’ll be leaving soon, and we won’t be returning to Wuhun City too often each year. The position of Pope doesn’t just bring power; it also requires her to dedicate more energy and time to her responsibilities.”

Qian Renxue sighed.

“Little Wind, let’s quickly forge my first soul bone and then leave. Apart from this little house, everything here is boring, even more than in Tiandou City.”

Lin Feng looked at her teasingly.

“I wonder what Grandpa’s expression would be if he heard that?”

Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow slightly.

“He would probably lament and sigh to the heavens, wouldn’t he?”

The three of them laughed for a while.

Unbeknownst to them, Qian Daoliu felt a pang of bitterness in his heart.

He had naturally sensed Bibi Dong’s arrival at the small house in the woods and had been monitoring her every move.

While he didn’t know why Bibi Dong’s attitude towards Lin Feng seemed to have suddenly improved, at least for now, it seemed like a good thing. She was able to get a celestial herb in exchange for the authority of the Knights.

At least, after his death, Xue’er wouldn’t be restricted by Bibi Dong in the Spirit Hall. Even if he entrusted the Palace of the Supply to Qian Renxue, the differences between the Douluo Palace and the Pope’s Palace would still need to be addressed, so some form of check and balance is beneficial.

Giving her a celestial herb to prevent further involvement is also a positive outcome.

As for Lin Feng’s claim of only having two celestial herbs left, it was, of course, a lie. To Qian Daoliu’s knowledge, there were still three.

Hearing their strange laughter, he felt a surge of anger.

A voice transmission instantly reached Lin Feng’s ears.

“You brat, come and ask this old man for some practical combat guidance!”

The smile on Lin Feng’s face faltered. He muttered, “Oh no,” realizing he’d been caught teasing the lonely old man.
