Half a day later, Qiu Hougong arrived at Tiandou City.

After spending two days with Ning Rongrong and Xue Ke, Qiu Hougong, who had temporarily parted ways with the two women, first went to Lieyan City and Xuanshui City to meet with Huoxing Ying, Shuiyun, and Shui Jingyi, and then took them back to Wuhun City.

"Hmm... So the main purpose of your trip these past few days was for this?"

Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong, who was reclining on the papal chair, first glanced at Ah Yin, who was placed not far away, and then turned her gaze to Qiu Hou Gong and said.

"Yes, Mother."

Qiu Hougong, who was massaging Bibi Dong's beautiful legs, replied.

"Hmm...use a little more force..."

Bibi Dong nodded comfortably, then said, "So you brought it back to obtain its spirit ring? But can it generate a spirit ring in its current state?"

"No, Mother. I don't want her spirit ring."

Qiu Hougong shook his head and smiled, slightly increasing the pressure on his hands.

"Hmm... So what do you want to do? Like that girl Xiaowu?"

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and then said to Qiu Hougong, "Let me tell you, I can't make it grow quickly."

"Haha, there's no need for Mother to handle this kind of thing. Please take a look."

Qiu Hougong stood up with a smile, then activated the Holy Tiger Armor Mode and walked towards A Yin's direction.

"White Snow, Holy Radiance!"

Qiu Hougong formed a hand seal, and a beam of white holy light surged from his palms, quickly enveloping A Yin's entire body.

rustling...

With the transmission of Qiu Hougong's energy, A Yin's originally slender leaves began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Ten minutes later, Qiu Hougong lowered his hands.

At this point, Ah Yin had grown from three or four centimeters long to three or four decimeters long, and the flowerpot that was originally just the right size had become too narrow.

"How is this possible?"

Seeing the scene before her, Bibi Dong, who was encountering this situation for the first time, sat up, her beautiful face filled with shock and confusion. "Xiao Qiu, your divine power can actually promote the rapid growth of plant-type soul beasts?"

"Impressive, right? I only recently discovered this ability myself."

After deactivating the Holy Tiger Armor Mode, Qiu Hougong walked up to A Yin and, while changing her flowerpot, smiled at Bibi Dong.

"Amazing, absolutely amazing..."

Bibi Dong clapped her hands in surprise, but quickly frowned and said, "But Xiao Qiu, won't doing this harm your health?"

"Don't worry, this level of damage won't affect me at all..."

Hearing Bibi Dong say this, Qiu Hougong, who had already finished planting for A Yin, immediately got up and came to Bibi Dong's side, then reached out and hugged her tightly, "If Mother doesn't believe me, she can check it herself."

"Hmph~ You brat..."

Bibi Dong reached out and squeezed Qiu Hougong's wrist. After confirming that there was no problem, she gently pushed Qiu Hougong away and said, "The coronation ceremony is about to begin. You are not allowed to leave these next few days. Otherwise... you know the consequences."

"I understand, Mother. I definitely won't leave..."

Qiu Hougong held Bibi Dong's small hand and smiled, "But Mother, what dishes have you prepared? Could you tell me in advance?"

"No, we agreed it would happen on that day, how could I tell you now..."

Bibi Dong gently withdrew her hand, then raised her long, beautiful leg and lightly kicked Qiu Hougong. "Alright, you can go out now. I need to work."

"Yes, Mother. I'm leaving now. I'll come to see you later."

Qiu Hougong chuckled, then turned and walked out of the Papal Palace...

A dozen days later, the Spirit Hall announced to the public that it was officially establishing a nation, named Shenwu. The former Pope of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, ascended the throne as Empress, with the imperial title Hua Hun.

With the establishment of the Divine Martial Empire, Emperor Dai Zhongli of Xingluo, sensing an impending major crisis, immediately summoned his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

While they were frantically preparing, things were also quite lively within the Divine Martial Empire.

"Mother, it's getting late. Don't you think we should..."

Standing atop the highest point of Wuhun City… no, it should now be called Shenwu City, Qiu Hougong, who had been appointed Crown Prince, looked down at the crowd below, who were happy and excited about the establishment of the Shenwu Empire, and gently embraced Bibi Dong, who was dressed in imperial robes, and said in a soft voice.

"Hmph~ I know. Let's go."

Upon hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Bibi Dong, her pretty face slightly flushed, reached out her delicate hand and gently tapped Qiu Hougong. Then, she took Qiu Hougong's hand and walked towards the palace...

Upon entering the emperor's bedchamber, Bibi Dong loosened her imperial robes and first pressed Qiu Hou Gong to the head of the bed for a ten-minute verbal exchange before starting to prepare dinner for him.

"Come on, Xiao Qiu. Try this new noodle dish that I spent two years learning to make..."

Holding two snow-white dough balls, each larger than an adult's head and weighing four pounds, Bibi Dong spoke to Qiu Hou Gong with an incredibly gentle expression.

"Mother, is the new type of pasta you learned to make steamed buns? But why are they so big?"

Reaching out and kneading the huge, soft, and elastic dough in front of him, Qiu Hougong asked, somewhat puzzled.

"You brat, all you do is talk nonsense..."

Upon hearing Qiu Hougong's words, Bibi Dong first reached out and rubbed Qiu Hougong's head against the two dough balls, then puffed out her little face unhappily and said, "Does such a simple pasta dish as steamed buns really require me to spend two years making it? Am I that stupid?"

"Um... I'm sorry, Mother, that's not what I meant..."

Having finally managed to free himself from the dough, Qiu Hougong quickly begged for mercy and then asked, "I'm just curious, Mother, what exactly is this pasta you made?"

"Hmph~ You're lucky you begged for mercy so quickly~"

Hearing Qiu Hougong apologize, Bibi Dong, who wasn't angry to begin with, gave a coquettish snort, "Since you asked so sincerely, I'll mercifully tell you. This is a new type of noodle I invented, called Rengmin."

"Huh? What is that?"

Qiu Hougong picked at his ear and said in disbelief.

"Reng, Min, Le. What's wrong? Xiao Qiu, do you think this name is strange?"

Bibi Dong spoke slowly and deliberately, her large, amethyst-like eyes revealing a dangerous glint.

"Okay, so Dong'er has a knack for naming things. How come I never noticed before?"

Qiu Hougong thought to himself, then said, "No, I'm just curious why my mother named it that."

"It's nothing, I just think this name is suitable..."

Seeing Qiu Hougong say this, Bibi Dong's gaze softened again, and she gently touched his lips with the bowl in her hand, saying, "Come on, try it and see if it's good."

"it is good."

Qiu Hougong nodded, but was about to take a bite when Bibi Dong gently stopped him, "Wait, little Qiu, eat from the edge first, then eat the middle."

"Why? Shouldn't we start by eating these red dates?"

Qiu Hougong reached out and pointed to the red date still located at the center point, asking in confusion.

"Oh, you'll see soon enough. For now, just do as I say."

Bibi Dong swayed her slender waist and said in a sweet voice.

"Alright, I'll do whatever Mother says."

Qiu Hougong nodded upon hearing this, and then, following Bibi Dong's instructions, bit down from the edge.

"Hmm... how... how is it? Does it taste alright?"

Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows slightly.

"Hmm, good. Mother, you hid meat in here, no wonder it tastes so good."

Qiu Hougong spoke somewhat unclearly.

"It's so...delicious, you...eat it all...eat it all."

Bibi Dong said softly.

"Yes, Mother, don't worry, I will definitely eat them all."

As Qiu Hougong spoke, he began to eat heartily.

Ten minutes later, Qiu Hougong, who had finally finished eating both of the two dishes thoroughly, licked his lips and said with lingering satisfaction, "Mother, is there anything else delicious? I want to eat more."

"Yes... I've prepared lots of delicious food for you..."

Bibi Dong, slightly out of breath, sat on the bed and lifted two white and firm hams, presenting them to Qiu Hougong, saying, "These are American East Hams that I made. Little Qiu, please try them."

"it is good."

Qiu Hougong nodded, and with a hearty appetite, he immediately took a bite of the ham.

Twenty minutes later, Qiu Hougong, having finished his ham, looked up at Bibi Dong and smiled, saying, "Mother's cooking skills are truly superb. This is the first time I've ever tasted such delicious ham."

"If you like it, that's fine. Here, try this too..."

Seeing that Qiu Hougong liked it so much, Bibi Dong nodded happily, then reached out and broke open a plump shellfish, saying, "This is a ten-year sea spirit beast—the Dongxin Clam—that I had specially captured from Hanhai City. Don't be fooled by the fact that it only has a dozen years of cultivation, its meat is exceptionally plump and juicy, and not only the inside, but also the two outer shells are edible."

"Wow, there are such soul beasts in this world..."

Qiu Hougong approached to observe it closely, and after discovering that its shell was indeed very soft, he asked, "But Mother, since it eats its shell, how does it survive in the sea?"

"You wouldn't know that..."

Bibi Dong gently pushed Qiu Hougong down, then picked up the Dongxin Clam and held it to Qiu Hougong's mouth, gesturing for him to eat. "These soul beasts have an extremely strong reproductive ability and are incredibly fast. It's not so easy to catch them in the ocean."

"Oh, I see."

Understanding the reason, Qiu Hougong nodded, then opened his mouth and bit into the clam in front of him...

Three hours later, Qiu Hougong and Bibi Dong, having finished dinner, embraced tightly, both with a satisfied expression on their faces.

"Xiao Qiu, what are your plans for going to the Star Luo Empire?"

Looking at Qiu Hougong's handsome face, which was only two points less handsome than the readers', Bibi Dong's voice became even gentler as she spoke.

"Hmm... I plan to go tomorrow, since the sooner it's resolved, the better. Mother, why are you suddenly asking this?"

Qiu Hougong said in a gentle voice.

"Huh? You still call me that?"

Bibi Dong reached out and pinched Qiu Hougong's hand as she spoke.

"Ah... I'm used to it, Dong'er."

Qiu Hougong immediately changed his tune.

"That's more like it..."

Bibi Dong nodded in satisfaction, then continued, "The reason I said that is because I want to go with you."

"Huh? I don't think so."

Qiu Hougong looked at Bibi Dong and said, "My current strength is close to invincible on the continent, if not unmatched. The mere Star Luo Empire poses no threat to me. Don't worry, Dong'er."

"No, of course I believe in your abilities..."

Bibi Dong gently shook her head and said seriously, "I just want to be with you. I want to follow you wherever you go."

"Okay, I understand. Let's go together tomorrow."

Qiu Hougong, understanding what Bibi Dong meant, nodded and then asked, "Dong'er, how did your divine exam go?"

"The Divine Exam? It's been cancelled."

Bibi Dong said casually that she had told Qiu Hougong about the Rakshasa God Test before, so she was not surprised that Qiu Hougong knew about it.

"It's already cancelled? Why?"

Qiu Hougong asked.

"Because I'm not suitable anymore..."

Bibi Dong smiled and looked at Qiu Hougong, "What the Rakshasa God needs is a fanatical madman with a heart full of destructive thoughts. Do I look like that now?"

"It doesn't look like it, and it's absolutely impossible for it to look like it..."

Remembering the rules of the Rakshasa God, Qiu Hougong reached out and hugged Bibi Dong tightly, saying, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you become a god."

"Well, I believe you."

Bibi Dong nodded, and then the two fell asleep in each other's arms...

The following day at noon, in the Star Luo Empire, at the Star Luo Imperial Palace.

In the imperial court, Emperor Dai Zhongli of Xingluo, sitting on his throne, looked at the ministers below with a gloomy expression and slowly said, "It's been a whole day, and no one has come up with a solution yet?"

"..."

The court was silent; no one dared to address Dai Zhongli's question.

"Useless! He's just a bunch of useless people busy with his work!"

Seeing this, Dai Zhongli, unable to contain his anger any longer, roared, his imposing aura as a Title Douluo making the court officials breathless.

"I'm giving you one day to come up with a perfect solution, or else..."

Dai Zhongli spoke angrily, but before he could finish, a majestic female voice rang out in the court, "A solution? Don't even think about it, because your fate is already sealed—death!"

"Protect the Emperor!"

Upon hearing this sound, an armored guard standing not far from Dai Zhongli shouted, but before he could make any move, a flaming spear flew out from behind a stone pillar and burned the armored guard to ashes.

"presumptuous!"

Upon seeing his personal guards killed, Dai Zhongli immediately activated his martial soul—White Tiger—and shouted to those around him, "You killed one of my men in my court! Do you want to start a war with me?! Bibi Dong!"

"How dare you! Dai Zhongli, address the Empress by her given name! Do you have a death wish?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo's voice rang out, and then he and Ghost Douluo appeared in the imperial court.

"How dare you, Yue Guan! Look carefully. This is the Star Luo Empire, not your Divine Martial Empire!"

Dai Zhongli said coldly. Zhu Lie, the current head of the Zhu family, also activated his martial soul—Netherworld Cat—and stood beside Dai Zhongli, watching Chrysanthemum Douluo and Zhu Lie warily.
