Chapter 51: Worshiping a Teacher

Although he was already expecting it, upon hearing these words come out of Bibi Dong's mouth, Lu Yuan's heart had a slight ripple.

He quickly composed himself, and without hesitation, he knelt down on his knees and respectfully said, "Lu Yuan pays his respects to his Teacher!"

Bibi Dong chuckled at the sight, her smile warming up as she said, "Good boy, stand up." Her slender arm extended towards him, offering help as he rose to his feet.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but notice the gentle and kind side of Bibi Dong, which contrasted sharply with her reputation as a cruel and terrifying person.

Bibi Dong had endured much in her life, and he knew that a misstep in her presence could be fatal.

Lu Yuan did not let his mind wander for long and soon entered the right state of mind. Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, and especially in front of Bibi Dong, he had to be careful with every word and action, otherwise, he would not know how he had died.

Bibi Dong's slender fingers lingered on Lu Yuan's head for a moment longer as she spoke in a gentle tone. "Starting today, you will be my second disciple. You have a big sister named Hu Liena, with whom I believe you will get along very well."

She paused for a moment before continuing, "From now on, you will live in the Supreme Pontiff Palace, let me show you where you will be staying, your big sister also lives there."

Bibi Dong turned around, her silky rose-pink hair swaying elegantly, and took Lu Yuan's hand.

The warmth that emanated from her touch made him feel at ease as they walked together into the palace.

<Five, four, three, two, two, one, Sign-In Task Completed.>

<Reward received.>

<Does the host wish to receive the reward now?>

As the countdown ended, Lu Yuan received a notification from the system and felt a strange sensation coursing through his body. It was as if something was accumulating within him, but the feeling quickly dissipated, leaving him slightly perplexed.

'I want to receive it later.' Finally, Lu Yuan answered inwardly.

Despite the curiosity gnawing at him, he decided to delay claiming the reward for now, knowing that this was not the appropriate time to do so.

This place was currently full of powerful people, so naturally, it was not the right time to receive the reward.

<Understood, the reward has been temporarily stored, the host is reminded that the storage time is three days, and after three days, the reward will be dispersed.>

The mechanical voice of the system spoke a little more this time.

'Three days? Should be enough.'

Bibi Dong's gentle touch continued to guide Lu Yuan through the palace, their steps echoing through the grand halls and corridors. As they passed by, the many bishops and deacons present in the palace couldn't help but take notice of the young man who was granted such a rare honor.

Indeed, Lu Yuan was now the second person to be so close to the Supreme Pontiff, the first being Hu Liena herself.

The palace itself was a masterpiece of architecture, deserving of its reputation as the residence of the Supreme Pontiff. Each building possessed its own unique characteristic, every detail was expertly crafted by the most skilled artisans.

As they walked, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel a sense of awe at the extravagance of it all. The grandeur of the palace was simply breathtaking, a testament to the power and influence of the Spirit Hall.

It was simply outrageously lavish!

Although it was rumored that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was the wealthiest sect at the time, with countless treasures and riches, Lu Yuan had not witnessed it firsthand.

He was uncertain about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's wealth, but as the strongest force of Spirit Masters on the continent, controlling the vast majority of Spirit Masters and capable of competing with the two Empires, the Spirit Hall was undoubtedly very affluent.

Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was rich, it was still only a sect, and compared to a giant like Spirit Hall, it was still a few steps below.

A little beyond the Supreme Pontiff Palace was another palace where, according to Bibi Dong, the bishops were housed.

The Elders, on the other hand, had their own exclusive lodgings, which was a symbol of their status.

Continuing on, not far away was a clear lake with shimmering water and a faint green wave. The surface was covered with beautiful lotus flowers, and a faint fragrance filled the air.

It was hard to imagine that there was such a lake inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace.

In the center of the lake were several small pavilions, not big, but very exquisite, with a water town atmosphere.

"This lake and the island in the middle of the lake were specially constructed by me. What do you think?" Bibi Dong asked softly.

"It's truly breathtaking, Teacher." Lu Yuan answered what he thought in his heart. The island in the middle of the lake was really a landscape in itself.

"This is where I live, and of course, you will also live here in the future." Bibi Dong smiled.

Lu Yuan was a little surprised upon hearing this, living in a place like this should be a great enjoyment.

As they approached the lake, there was a small boat on the surface, equally exquisite and clearly leading to the heart of the island. But for Bibi Dong, there was no need for such a small boat.

Carrying Lu Yuan, Bibi Dong lightly stepped and flew over, with Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo following closely behind.

Flying in the air was definitely a novel experience for Lu Yuan. The breeze brushed past his face, his clothes fluttered, and the scent of lotus flowers filled the air.

Landing gently, Bibi Dong put Lu Yuan down and once again took his hand as they headed toward the small pavilion ahead.

The island was a paradise of colorful flowers and lush green grass, dotted with charming white wildflowers. It was no surprise that Blue Silver Grass, the most common plant on the entire Douluo Continent, was also present here.

As they approached the open door, two maidservants of about fifteen or sixteen years old stood on either side, their bodies emitting a faint soul power fluctuation.

Bibi Dong called out softly, "Lena!" and a moment later, a girl of eleven or twelve years old came running out.

"Teacher!" Hu Liena exclaimed, throwing her arms around Bibi Dong in a quick embrace before turning to face Lu Yuan.

"This must be my new younger brother, right?" she asked eagerly.

Of course, Hu Liena had already pored over his drawing and replayed the final battle of the Selection Tournament countless times with the image preservation tool, so she recognized him at once.

However, she couldn't let Lu Yuan know that she had been watching him for the past few months. Otherwise, what face would she have as the big sister?

Bibi Dong gave Hu Liena a slight look before nodding and introducing Lu Yuan, "Mhm, this is your younger brother, Lu Yuan."

"Lu Yuan, this is your big sister, Hu Liena, I hope the two of you will get along well." Bibi Dong continued, introducing them formally.

Hu Liena extended her slender hand with a sly smile at the corners of her mouth, "If the Teacher says so, then I guess we have no choice but to get along, don't you think so, younger brother?"

"Mhm, I'll be in your care, big sister." Lu Yuan replied, extending his hand to shake hers.

As he looked at her more closely, he couldn't help but be struck by her beauty. Her short haircut framed her delicate features perfectly, and her jade-like face exuded a sense of confidence and allure. Her slender eyes were filled with a seductive charm, and every movement of hers was captivating. Although she was still young, her ability to seduce was not small at all.

Undoubtedly, this big sister of his was born with the gift of seduction.
