Chapter 15 Robbery
"Go, change into clean clothes, and come with me to the Hall of Offerings."
"Huh? To the offering hall?"
Lin Yu was taken aback. The Hall of Offerings? Why was Bibi Dong taking him there?
"Teacher, what are we going there to do?" Lin Yu asked curiously.
Bibi Dong's lips curled into a meaningful smile, a smile that sent chills down Lin Yu's spine.
"Of course, I'm going to ask for a reward for you." Her voice was soft, but carried a hint of pleasure at the prospect of watching a good show. "You've done such a great service; if your teacher doesn't get you a decent reward, wouldn't it make me look incompetent?"
Lin Yu understood immediately.
The word "to ask for" is used very aptly.
This isn't going to collect a reward, it's clearly going to "rob" them!
He immediately adopted a servile expression, nodding vigorously, "Teacher is right! I will follow your every command!"
Just kidding, where else can you find such a good deal: to see Bibi Dong personally get involved in a public feud and also get some free benefits?
Lin Yu instantly transformed into the perfect straight man, striving to create the perfect atmosphere.
Soon, Lin Yu changed into a white robe, the standard uniform of the Spirit Hall Academy, with the Spirit Hall emblem embroidered in gold thread on his chest, which made him look even more spirited.
Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, took his hand, and walked directly out of the Papal Palace.
The Papal Palace and the Sanctuary stand on two adjacent hilltops, facing each other across a magnificent covered bridge.
Walking on the covered bridge, with the mountain wind howling, Lin Yu could clearly feel that the teacher beside him seemed to be in an exceptionally good mood, and even his steps were a little lighter.
"Looks like Teacher really hates those old men in the Hall of Offerings..." Lin Yu muttered to himself, clenching his little fists. "Go, Teacher! Squeeze them out of their pockets! For my future happiness... no, for the future of the Spirit Hall, go for it!"
The architectural style of the Hall of Worship is more ancient and majestic than that of the Papal Palace. It is built entirely of huge golden rocks, and the roof is carved with huge six-winged angel statues, exuding a sacred and inviolable aura.
At the temple gate, two temple knights, seeing the Pope's arrival, were about to announce his arrival when Bibi Dong merely glanced at them indifferently.
"No need."
That single glance contained such overwhelming pressure that it instantly froze the two Soul Emperor-level knights in place, rendering them unable to move.
Bibi Dong led Lin Yu through the heavy doors of the Hall of Worship without any obstruction.
Inside the hall, several powerful auras instantly locked onto the two of them.
In the very center, seated in the main seat, sat an elderly man with white hair and beard, yet an exceptionally handsome face. He wore a white robe embroidered with gold patterns, and a faint holy light flowed around him. He was none other than Qian Daoliu, the Grand Elder of the Spirit Hall, a level 99 Limit Douluo!
Below him, a burly, imposing, blond old man with an dignified and imposing face suddenly stood up. He was the Second Elder, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
"Bibi Dong! How dare you trespass into the Hall of Worship!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's roar was like thunder, exploding in the empty hall.
Bibi Dong seemed not to hear him, and walked straight to the center of the hall. Only then did she release Lin Yu's hand, raise her flawless face, and smile slightly at Qian Daoliu in the main seat.
"Great Elder, I have come today to report a momentous event concerning the future of the Spirit Hall."
Her posture was elegant, and her voice was composed, as if this were her papal palace, not a temple of worship that was constantly opposing her.
"Good news?" Golden Crocodile Douluo scoffed. "What good news could you possibly have?"
"Second Elder, please calm down." Bibi Dong was neither impatient nor annoyed. Instead, she stepped aside to make way for Lin Yu behind her. "This joyous occasion was brought by my disciple, Lin Yu."
All the worshippers' gazes were focused on Lin Yu.
Lin Yu immediately straightened his back and revealed an incredibly well-behaved and innocent smile, just like a model student.
Qian Daoliu's deep golden eyes lingered on Lin Yu for a moment before he slowly spoke: "Speak, what is it?"
Bibi Dong didn't keep anyone in suspense and succinctly recounted how Lin Yu discovered that whale glue could temper the body and enhance physical strength.
After she finished speaking, the entire hall fell into an eerie silence.
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Suddenly, Golden Crocodile Douluo burst into deafening laughter, pointing at Bibi Dong and laughing so hard he almost fell over.
"Bibi Dong, Bibi Dong! Have you run out of tricks? Making up such ridiculous lies! Whale glue? What use is that stuff besides being an aphrodisiac? Do you think we're three-year-olds?!"
The other worshippers also wore expressions of disbelief and mockery.
They thought Bibi Dong must have gone mad, coming up with such an absurd excuse just to cause trouble.
Bibi Dong seemed to have anticipated their reaction and remained calm and composed.
"Whether you believe it or not, you can ask them."
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared silently in the hall. They were Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and Ling Yuan Douluo.
"Greetings, High Priest and Second Priest!" The three knelt on one knee to pay their respects.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's laughter abruptly stopped. He frowned and demanded, "Ling Yuan! You tell me! Is what the Pope said true?"
Among the several guardians, Lingyuan Douluo is known for his fiery and direct nature, and he never bothers to lie.
Lingyuan Douluo stood up, clasped his hands, and said, "Second Elder, everything Your Majesty said is true. I personally witnessed that Lin Yu's physical strength did indeed increase after consuming the whale glue. Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo can also testify to this."
Yue Guan and the ghost immediately chimed in, "We can testify!"
"What?!"
This left all the old monsters in the Hall of Offerings dumbfounded.
Is this really true?
Whale collagen, which was considered a low-grade supplement, actually has such miraculous effects.
Even Qian Daoliu's usually calm and composed face finally showed a hint of emotion.
But he knew that Bibi Dong wasn't there to show off, and sure enough, the next moment, Bibi Dong's voice rang out.
"My disciple nearly exploded and died while trying to verify this method, and his spirit was severely impacted."
She paused, her beautiful purple eyes staring directly at Qian Daoliu.
"To enable him to better contribute to the future of the Spirit Hall, I'd like to reward him with a head spirit bone. I remember there happens to be a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual wisdom skull in the treasury of the Hall of Offerings, right?"
Before the golden crocodile could react, Qian Daoliu nodded in agreement: "Okay, what else do you want?"
"Big brother?"
"It's alright. Since they have made contributions to my Spirit Hall, they should naturally be rewarded."
Qian Daoliu raised his hand to stop Golden Crocodile Douluo from speaking, his gaze shifting back and forth between Lin Yu and Bibi Dong.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong calmly shielded Lin Yu behind her and continued to demand, "In addition, in order to collect whale glue as soon as possible, I need the Hall of Offerings to open all secret channels, and all expenses for this operation will be borne by the Hall of Offerings."
"Furthermore, as the one who made the greatest contribution, Lin Yu's resource allocation within the Spirit Hall should be upgraded to the level of a Holy Son."
"besides……"
Bibi Dong presented her demands one by one. Except for a few that touched upon the core power of the Hall of Worship, which were rejected by Qian Daoliu, he actually nodded in agreement to most of them.
Finally, Bibi Dong, satisfied, led Lin Yu, who was holding the soul bone and looking completely bewildered, and turned away leisurely under the almost murderous gazes of the elders in the Hall of Worship.
Only after the two figures disappeared from the entrance of the main hall could Golden Crocodile Douluo no longer suppress his anger.
"Brother! Are you just going to let her run wild like this! She's clearly using that kid as an excuse to harass us in our ancestral hall!"
"Yes, Great Elder, Bibi Dong is getting more and more outrageous!"
Inside the hall, several worshippers began to complain incessantly.
"That's enough!"
With a low shout, Qian Daoliu unleashed a sacred golden light that instantly enveloped the entire area, silencing all sound.
He rose from his seat, walked to the center of the hall, and stood with his hands behind his back.
"You only saw Bibi Dong's arrogance, but you didn't see the value that child represented."
In Qian Daoliu's mind, Lin Yu's obedient and harmless appearance, as well as his incredible martial spirit, kept replaying.
"This child has too many secrets."
He turned around and looked out the window toward the direction of the Papal Palace, his golden eyes flashing with calculation.
Bibi Dong wanted to keep this child firmly in her grasp, but... he might still be useful to her.
In particular, he thought of his granddaughter, who was far away in the Heavenly Dou Empire, carrying out a crucial plan.
"What if... this child could become an asset to Xue'er in the future?"
This idea ignited a burning passion within Qian Daoliu.
Without further hesitation, he left a message for everyone in the hall.
"This matter ends here. You may all leave."
After saying that, his figure turned into a golden light and disappeared instantly from the hall of worship, leaving behind a group of elders looking at each other in bewilderment.
