Doulou Dalu 90

Lin Fan's eyes lit up with surprise.

Looking at Bibi Dong's six crimson spider spears emerging from her back and the red mark on her forehead, he could sense a newfound destructive force within them, even though she hadn't released her soul power. Her aura had changed—more regal, more powerful. If before she was a queen, now she truly resembled an empress.

"Your second martial soul, the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor... It has evolved?" Lin Fan murmured, his excitement barely contained.

Bibi Dong remained silent for a moment before responding in a low voice, "I feel like my martial soul has undergone a transformation… It's almost like it has reawakened. Did you do this? What exactly is this power? And… just how many secrets are you hiding?"

Lin Fan smiled gently. "Yes, it was my gift to you. It's called the Glory Crystal. As for my secrets… I will tell you everything, Bibi Dong. I don't even know where some of these things come from, but no matter what, if it can make you stronger, I will share it with you."

Bibi Dong's face turned slightly red at Lin Fan's sincere words. She pursed her lips, avoiding his gaze, but her long violet hair swayed gently, making her look even more enchanting.

Seeing her reaction, Lin Fan found it amusing. Bibi Dong, the cold and ruthless Supreme Pontiff, was actually shy? He gently tightened his grip on her delicate hand.

After a while, Bibi Dong finally looked up, her golden eyes complex as she whispered, "Thank you. I don't know where you come from, but… I'm grateful. Because of you, I have been given a new life."

Hearing this, Lin Fan couldn't hold back any longer. He pulled her into his arms and pressed his lips against hers.

Bibi Dong's eyes widened in shock. "You—" But before she could finish, Lin Fan deepened the kiss. For a brief moment, she remained stiff, but then her resistance faded, and she slowly closed her eyes, responding to him.

Lin Fan's heart swelled with joy. He had chased after her for so long, and now, finally, she was accepting him.

His hands moved instinctively, gently caressing her back. Just as he reached for the sash of her robe, a terrifying soul power erupted from Bibi Dong's body.

Boom!

Lin Fan was instantly sent flying, crashing against the wooden wall of their small house.

The impact left him dazed, but fortunately, Bibi Dong hadn't used her full strength—otherwise, the house itself would have been reduced to rubble.

"What's going on?!"

The sudden noise startled a woman outside. Xiao Wu's mother pushed open the door, frowning at the scene before her.

Bibi Dong hurriedly looked away, her face burning red. She quickly adjusted her robes, her long hair cascading over her flushed cheeks.

Lin Fan scratched his head awkwardly. "Uh… Nothing! We were just… playing around."

Xiao Wu's mother gave him a knowing smile before shutting the door again, leaving the two in an awkward silence.

Lin Fan coughed and said, "Well… You should rest. I think I'll do the same."

Bibi Dong leaned against the bed, her expression unreadable. "Your Glory Crystal… It's incredible. My martial soul has grown much stronger. I think… even if I were to face Tang Huo'er's Destruction Wheel, my Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor could now hold its own."

Lin Fan grinned. "Of course! And we're not done yet. I'll help you become even stronger. One day, not even Tang San as a dual-god will be able to challenge you."

Bibi Dong's gaze softened for a moment before she whispered, "You've given up everything—your sect, your home—to stay with me. Do you ever regret it? You should know… staying by my side means living in constant danger. You could die at any moment. Everything you once had… might be destroyed."

Lin Fan looked at her seriously. "I don't regret it, Bibi Dong. Because I had to save you."

She looked at him with a complicated expression. "You're a fool."

Lin Fan chuckled. "Maybe. But I'm your fool."

Bibi Dong fell silent, then slowly spoke again, "We don't really know each other that well yet. What happened between us before… was an accident. So don't get ahead of yourself. I can still kill you anytime."

Lin Fan pouted. "Come on… that's too cruel. But… that means I can get away with some things, right?"

Bibi Dong shot him a glare, but her ears turned red.

After a brief silence, she changed the topic. "How long are we staying here? Do you really think that rabbit girl can protect us?"

Lin Fan smirked. "Not just Xiao Wu. She has friends. Powerful ones. You've heard of the Titan Giant Ape, right?"

Bibi Dong's eyes narrowed. "You mean… Da Ming and Er Ming?"

Lin Fan nodded. "Exactly. With them here, even if the elders of the Spirit Hall come, they won't be able to get through. Unless Qian Daoliu himself leaves the Elder Hall, we're safe."

Hearing Qian Daoliu's name, Bibi Dong was momentarily startled. "You know about him?"

Lin Fan grinned. "I know everything. I even know that he's currently in seclusion, which means he won't be a problem for now."

Bibi Dong exhaled slowly. "That's true… he's been in closed-door training for years now. If that's the case, we should be safe for a while."

Lin Fan nodded. "That's right. So for now, let's just focus on getting stronger."

For the first time in a long while, Bibi Dong's lips curled into a faint smile.

Perhaps, for now… she could rest.
