As soon as the words were spoken, Hu Liena was stunned. She instinctively glanced at her teacher beside her.
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's expression also froze for a moment.
Ye Tian, however, ignored the two women's reactions and began to eloquently share his thoughts:
"Think about it, Bibi Dong has such a great figure! Fair skin, beautiful face, long legs, and most importantly, her looks are stunning. She practically embodies all the best qualities of women."
Ye Tian looked at the two women with a mysterious smile and said,
"Of course, appearance is secondary. When it comes to marriage, the key is to value a person's talent and abilities."
"Take a look at Bibi Dong. She holds a high position of authority as the current Pope of the Spirit Hall. Not only that, but she's also one of only two twin spirit masters in the world. At such a young age, she's already become a Super Douluo with remarkable strength."
"I'll even tell you a secret—Bibi Dong is actually the heir to the Rakshasa God!"
"A woman who possesses such talent, beauty, and strength—she's exactly the kind of woman I, Ye Tian, adore! Hu Liena, Qian Renxue? They're nothing in comparison."
Ye Tian was extremely proud of his own taste.
But as he reveled in his satisfaction, he noticed that both his elder sister and younger sister Nana were staring at him with rather unfriendly eyes.
He was momentarily confused and asked with a strange expression,
"Sister, Nana, what's with those looks? Did I say something wrong?"
Were they jealous?
Ye Tian suddenly realized.
Both his elder sister and Nana were also members of the Spirit Hall!
Just now, he had only thought of Bibi Dong, Hu Liena, and Qian Renxue, forgetting to include his sister and Nana in his consideration.
That must be the reason for their unfriendly gazes—he forgot to mention them!
Ah, truly, a woman's heart is as unpredictable as the depths of the sea—impossible to guard against!
Ye Tian chuckled helplessly, unsure of what to say for a moment.
At that moment, Hu Liena glanced at Ye Tian, then mechanically turned her head to look at Bibi Dong.
This Ye Tian was too audacious.
He had not only evaluated their teacher's appearance right in front of her but also revealed her secret!
To be honest, Hu Liena was shocked too.
She hadn't expected that their teacher was actually a divine heir.
This meant that it wouldn't be long before their teacher became a god.
Oh no, Ye Tian was in serious trouble now.
Hu Liena secretly prayed, hoping their teacher would go easy on him.
However, Bibi Dong's expression was unreadable as she glanced at Ye Tian with a touch of curiosity and said,
"Do you not know that Qian Renxue is the daughter of Bibi Dong?"
(T/N: 0-0)
Ye Tian scoffed dismissively and said, "Sister, so what? Who cares if she has a daughter? It wouldn't be bad to marry two at once, would it?"
Hearing this, Hu Liena gasped and quietly stepped back.
If there was any hope of Ye Tian salvaging the situation before, it was now utterly gone.
Seeing his elder sister's displeased expression, Ye Tian scratched his head in confusion and asked,
"Why are you upset all of a sudden, sister? I was just talking about my ideal wife. With the Spirit Hall about to collapse, we should be busy running away. Why would I marry Bibi Dong?"
He added, "To me, compared to you, sister, Bibi Dong is like a firefly next to the moon. So, in the future, I want to marry someone as gentle as you. If that doesn't work out, at least I'd like to marry someone as cute as little sister Nana."
He realized that in his previous ramblings about the women of the Spirit Hall, he had forgotten to include his sister and Nana.
Hopefully, this could still make up for it.
"That's more like it," Bibi Dong replied with a smile in her eyes, showing no sign of anger.
Hu Liena, however, was somewhat dissatisfied: "Hmph, sweet talker."
In the end, Bibi Dong didn't pursue the matter further.
Ye Tian didn't dwell on it either. After showing the two women the Tian Ce Army's military exercises, they left the valley.
It was a rare sunny day, and Hu Liena, looking up at the sky and taking a deep breath, suggested cheerfully,
"Teacher, why don't we walk back to the villa? We rode in too quickly before, and I didn't get to enjoy the scenery along the way."
Their initial purpose had been to vacation by the East Sea coast.
The beautiful scenery around them was not to be missed.
"I have no objection," Bibi Dong said calmly.
Hu Liena turned her gaze to Ye Tian: "What about you?"
Ye Tian shrugged, "I don't mind either. If you want to explore and enjoy the scenery, little sister, I can recommend a place to you."
This piqued Hu Liena's interest, and she leaned in with hopeful eyes:
"Where?"
She had spent most of her time in the noisy, congested Spirit City, surrounded by tall buildings. She longed for the peaceful, picturesque countryside.
This was why she had suggested the trip to the East Sea coast for relaxation.
Ye Tian pointed to the lush green mountains in the distance and smiled, "The Butterfly Farm—it's exactly the kind of place you'd love."
"The Butterfly Farm?"
The unique name caught Hu Liena's attention, making her turn her head in curiosity.
Even Bibi Dong cast a curious glance.
Seeing the two women's surprised expressions, Ye Tian smiled and explained:
"The Butterfly Farm is on the other side of Seaspirit Mountain. We passed by it on our way here, but you probably didn't notice."
"I bought the Butterfly Farm two years ago to cultivate some experimental plants of mine. The scenery there is breathtaking, and there are many soul beasts of the butterfly type. Every evening, they dance gracefully, as if they were performing in a grand spectacle."
"Wow!" Hu Liena exclaimed, her eyes lighting up as she covered her face with her hands.
She quickly pulled out an old, rustic map and compared it, saying,
"I think I've heard of this place before in a guidebook."
After a while, she held up the map, marked with the words "Butterfly Farm," and happily showed it to Ye Tian:
"Look! I even marked it on my map!"
This surprised Ye Tian, and he asked,
"How did you get a map of the East Sea coast?"
In this era, maps were considered strategic resources.
Drawing a map required not only a huge amount of manpower and money but also technical expertise, which was beyond the reach of most people.
So maps were always highly valuable, only available in large sects or the two great empires.
A flash of unease crossed Hu Liena's eyes. She hadn't expected Ye Tian to recognize the value of the map.
Even though it was just a regular topographical map she had taken from the Spirit Hall's library as a travel guide, she couldn't admit that.
Otherwise, it might expose her identity and ruin her teacher's covert plans.
She tried her best to hide her surprise, pursing her lips and explaining,
"Brother, did you forget? Teacher and I are maids of the Spirit Hall. The East Sea coast isn't a strategic location, so its map is kept in the Spirit Hall's ordinary library. I just copied a version for myself."
"I see," Ye Tian nodded in understanding.
As expected, the Spirit Hall was no ordinary organization, taking care even of small places like the East Sea coast and having corresponding maps.
This made Ye Tian feel a slight sense of unease—would his plans for surviving the chaos still succeed?
Each with their own thoughts, they arrived at the Butterfly Farm.
An elderly man with slightly hunched shoulders and white hair greeted them.
"Welcome, young master," the elderly man said respectfully,
"I didn't expect you to visit the Butterfly Farm today. I'll have the staff prepare dinner right away. Please stay here for the night."
Ye Tian nodded slightly toward the elderly man and introduced him to the two women,
"This is Chen Jian. You can call him Elder Chen. Don't let his age fool you—he's an Auxiliary System Spirit Douluo with an impressive level of eighty-seven."
