However, Ye Feng never proposed to her.
Of course, this wasn't just about her personal feelings.
Zhu Zhuqing was worried that if she accepted this, she would become Ye Feng's fiancée. If that happened, it would be normal for Ye Feng to act accordingly.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Feng with uncertainty in her eyes and thought to herself: Forget it, forget it. Do I really plan to marry someone else? If he truly needs it, then... then I will accept it.
Ye Feng noticed her hesitation and asked with concern, "Zhu Qing, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Zhu Zhuqing replied.
Still, as she thought about it, her face turned slightly red.
"Have you finished your allocation?" Bibi Dong asked.
"It's done," Ye Feng nodded.
"Now that the allocation is settled, the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Competition has officially come to a successful conclusion," Bibi Dong said with a smile.
As soon as Bibi Dong finished speaking, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, Ghost Douluo Gui Mei, and all the spirit masters present tensed up. The moment the order was given, they would attack Xiao Wu and capture her alive.
At the same time, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Chen Xin secretly mobilized their spirit power. Even Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was prepared to act at any moment to protect Xiao Wu.
"Now that everything is settled, let's head inside the main hall," Bibi Dong announced.
"The main hall?" Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan was stunned.
"Your Majesty, this is a rare opportunity," Ghost Douluo Gui Mei advised.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances. They couldn't believe that Bibi Dong was giving up on capturing Xiao Wu.
"Of course. Nana, Xie Yue, Yan, wait outside. Ye Feng, come in with me."
Bibi Dong nodded and entered the Pope's Palace, taking her seat on the throne. After waiting for a while, Ye Feng walked in. But he wasn't alone—Xiao Wu was right behind him.
Xiao Wu clenched her fists tightly, her eyes sharp as soon as she stepped into the Pope's Palace.
"Brother, I need your help with something," Xiao Wu said softly.
"Of course," Ye Feng responded without hesitation.
"That's good. There's no one else here, so we can take her by surprise. We should be able to kill her." Xiao Wu looked around the empty hall. This was the perfect opportunity to avenge her mother.
"Kill her?" Ye Feng was momentarily stunned. He stopped in his tracks and asked in a low voice, "You want me to help you… to kill her?"
"She killed my mother." Xiao Wu clenched her fists even tighter, her eyes burning with fury.
To this day, she could still remember that fateful night. Under the silver moonlight, she lay in her mother's embrace, enjoying her warmth as she drifted off to sleep. Then, a group of people stormed into the Star Dou Forest, shattering the peaceful night.
That night, her mother died at the hands of a human. Xiao Wu didn't know who it was—until the finals.
That was when she finally learned that the person who killed her mother was none other than Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
For seven or eight years, Xiao Wu had never spoken about her mother's death. She always seemed cheerful, but that didn't mean she had forgotten.
Now, standing before Bibi Dong, she was ready. Even if it cost her life, she would make Bibi Dong pay.
"Xiao Wu, don't be rash. If you trust me, listen to me today. Let me handle this," Ye Feng said, holding Xiao Wu's clenched fist to calm her down.
"…Alright." Xiao Wu nodded.
After spending seven or eight years together, she had developed a deep reliance on Ye Feng.
Bibi Dong sat on the throne, silently watching as Ye Feng held Xiao Wu's hand and slowly approached her. When they reached the bottom of the seventh step, she finally spoke.
"Congratulations once again on winning the championship," she said.
"Thank you," Ye Feng replied.
"Since you and Shrek Academy have won, then according to our bet, you get to make a request. And I must accept it unconditionally, correct?"
"Yes."
"Alright then. Make your request."
"My request is… do not target the Seven Treasures Glazed Clan, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, the Star Luo Empire, and the Heaven Dou Empire. Do your best to maintain peace on the continent."
"No," Bibi Dong refused without hesitation.
She was already planning the Great Spirit Destruction Operation.
If she wanted to destroy this world and uproot the Qian family, she had to start a war.
Not only had she already set her plans in motion, but she was actively preparing for them.
Now, Ye Feng was asking her to maintain peace. Wasn't that the same as telling her to give up her dream?
"Are you going back on your word?" Ye Feng frowned and stared at Bibi Dong.
"Let's change the conditions," Bibi Dong said, her tone softening.
"No."
"Change it. For the sake of our relationship, let's change it."
"No means no. Our relationship is one thing, and the bet is another."
"Change it. For example… I'll give up on killing Xiao Wu!" Bibi Dong's gaze fell on Xiao Wu. Hoping to make Ye Feng comply, she continued, "You may not know this yet, but she isn't human. She's a transformed spirit beast!"
Spirit beast.
Spirit beast.
Spirit beast.
The words struck Xiao Wu like a bolt of lightning, igniting the fury buried deep within her heart.
She instinctively released her spirit rings. Five rings appeared around her as she stepped forward, her voice trembling with rage.
"I want revenge for my mother!"
She had barely taken a step before Ye Feng grabbed her hand.
"Brother, are you still hesitating?" Xiao Wu frowned, looking back at him in frustration.
"Xiao Wu, you promised me. You must listen to me today," Ye Feng reminded her.
"Then when do you plan to act?"
"I have no intention of attacking Dong'er today," Ye Feng admitted.
"Tell me, do you choose her or me?"
"Xiao Wu, what you're saying is no different from asking me who I'd save first if you and my mother fell into the water."
"I see. Ye Feng, you're hesitating." Xiao Wu looked at Ye Feng with disappointment. "Then I will fight alone."
However, Ye Feng didn't let go of her hand.
"You really are the fish that escaped the net," Bibi Dong said calmly, completely unmoved by Xiao Wu's anger. As a Spirit King, Xiao Wu was no threat to her. Looking at Ye Feng, she pressed him further.
"Ye Feng, think it over. Change your request. Let me give up on killing Xiao Wu. Otherwise, things will spiral out of control."
Ye Feng stared at Bibi Dong, his eyes cold with anger.
"Dong'er, is your butt itchy?" he growled. "If you keep causing trouble, I'll spank you."
Bibi Dong was stunned.
In this entire world, only Ye Feng would dare to say such a thing to her.
More importantly, she could tell that Ye Feng was truly angry.
At that moment, she fell silent, choosing to see how Ye Feng would handle this situation between her and Xiao Wu.
Ye Feng ignored her and turned back to Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, you shouldn't kill Dong'er. Instead, you should be thanking her."
