The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 38 False
Zhang San had already decided to reveal the news of the twin martial spirits to Bibi Dong.

Because Bibi Dong has twin martial souls, and with twin martial souls, they can gain each other's recognition to the greatest extent and quickly bring them closer.

And this kind of thing is actually not a secret. Given Meng Ji's special nature, it will be discovered sooner or later.

Bibi Dong's attitude was just as Zhang San had expected. After a brief moment of surprise, she quickly accepted the fact.

After all, as a twin martial soul, she could accept this secret better than anyone else, and was even happy about it.

Zhang San showed curiosity: "What is the teacher's martial spirit?"

"Teacher's martial spirit..."

Bibi Dong was a little hesitant, she didn't like her martial soul very much.

Ugly, evil.

And each one is uglier and more evil than the other!
"Death Spider Emperor, have you heard of it?"

"heard about it!"

Zhang San nodded: "I have been looking at the soul beast encyclopedia these past two days. Top-level spider soul beast! Where is the other one?"

"The other one is the Soul Devouring Spider King."

Bibi Dong smiled, her smile slightly bitter: "A being more evil and brutal than the Death Spider Emperor."

"That's great! Both of them are top-tier martial spirits..."

Zhang San said, his eyes suddenly brightening: "Wait, so that means, Teacher, when possessed by a martial spirit, you can grow eight spider legs?"

Bibi Dong's expression turned slightly ugly upon hearing this, but she still nodded: "That's right, these two martial spirits are uglier than each other. Teacher really envies you, Xiao San..."

"What are you envious of?"

Zhang San looked puzzled: "Those are eight spider legs!"

Bibi Dong was slightly startled: "Spider Leg...what's wrong?"

"Eight spider legs!"

Zhang San said excitedly, "Isn't he handsome?"

Bibi Dong's emotions were a little incoherent after hearing his reaction: "...handsome?"

Zhang San chuckled and approached Bibi Dong: "Teacher, can you let me take a look?"

"No, what's so good about this thing..."

Bibi Dong refused without hesitation. Just kidding, for a woman who loves beauty, this spider spirit is simply disgusting.

"Let me take a look..."

Zhang San begged, "Teacher, please let me see you. I'll take you to a fun place later. How about that?"

"interesting place?"

Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she had thought of something: "You... have the ability to travel long distances?"

Zhang San smiled mysteriously: "Don't worry about it, it's a good place anyway..."

Bibi Dong hesitated for a moment, feeling an inexplicable sense of rebellious anticipation in her heart.

"Okay, but first, let me tell you, the teacher's martial spirit... is ugly."

Bibi Dong bit her lower lip lightly, with an awkward expression on her face. She stood up and walked to an open area, slowly releasing her martial spirit.

The soul power fluctuations dissipated, and in the blink of an eye, the originally beautiful figure disappeared.

Standing there was a terrifying creature whose upper body was covered in black armor and whose lower body looked like a spider. Zhang San was stunned by the sight.

"Oh--"

"Isn't it ugly?"

Bibi Dong smiled bitterly and looked down at her palm covered with black armor.

"What woman in the world can accept such an ugly... Wait, Xiaosan, what are you doing?"

Bibi Dong suddenly took a step back, and her sharp spider legs dug several holes in the ground. As she moved, the poisonous mucus on the spider legs dripped down, corroding small holes in the floor tiles.

"The Death Spider King carries an extremely strong poison..."

"That's okay, I'm immune to all poisons!"

As Zhang San spoke, he quickly touched the spider's leg and got his hands covered in slime.

However, to Bibi Dong's surprise, the poison that was enough to corrode an ordinary person into a pile of rotten flesh did not have any effect on Zhang San!

"See, I wasn't lying to you, was I? I refined my body through ice and fire just to become immune to all poisons."

Zhang San said with a smile, his eyes falling on the round belly of the spider.

Seeing that Bibi Dong was still surprised, Zhang San's figure suddenly flashed and landed on the back of the huge spider behind Bibi Dong.

"Wait! Xiao San, you um~"

Noticing Zhang San's actions, Bibi Dong was about to stop him when suddenly a small hand gently patted the round spider's back.

In an instant, it was as if a strange electric current spread throughout her body. Bibi Dong's pupils suddenly shrank and she hummed unconsciously.

To be fair, Zhang San did not mean to take advantage of Dong. He really thought the spider spirit was very domineering and wanted to try the feeling of riding on the back of a spider.

But because the manifestation of the martial soul is too different from that of the human body, he always overlooks one thing.

Just like Dugu Yan’s snake tail actually evolved from her legs, Bibi Dong’s round spider belly corresponds to her buttocks!
"The back is also a shell? Who said this spirit is ugly? This spirit is so handsome! If this was my spirit, I would have to walk sideways when I go out, right?"

Zhang San patted the hard shell enviously. Bibi Dong's body trembled slightly, and her pretty face under the mask was flushed.

Zhang San's bold behavior really made her feel ashamed and angry.

But for some reason, after hearing Zhang San's words, his little hand seemed to slap her heart, causing her heart to tremble. Not only did she not put away her martial spirit immediately, but she inexplicably let Zhang San lie on the round spider's back.

Recognition is an emotion that can touch people's hearts at any time.

In a trance, Bibi Dong vaguely recalled the familiar figure and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

These two are indeed different...

Once upon a time, when she had known that person, he had praised the power of her martial soul, and had also expressed understanding for her emotions caused by the ugliness of her martial soul. He even said that he would not laugh at her because his own martial soul was also ugly. This made her regard him as a close friend and resonate with him for a while.

But...that person never praised the image of her martial soul.

Over the years, Zhang San was the only person who had ever praised the appearance of her martial soul. For a moment, the impact on Bibi Dong's heart was like a magnitude 10 earthquake, making her heart inexplicably sour and her eyes sore.

"You little bastard, what are you talking about..."

Bibi Dong sighed softly: "You don't need to flatter the teacher. What's so good about a big spider..."

"That's because you are a woman, teacher."

Zhang San sat cross-legged on the chubby spider's back. "The Spider Spirit isn't beautiful, but it's certainly handsome. Those eight legs are so impressive! Teacher, if you think it's ugly, it's because men and women have different aesthetic tastes."

"Besides, I can pick up a bunch of treasures just by walking around casually. Why should I flatter you? And this is not flattery at all, it's clearly a spider's ass!"

As he spoke, Zhang San gently patted the spider's back, causing Bibi Dong to tremble slightly again.

"You...you get down here!"

Bibi Dong's heart trembled, and she scolded him lightly.

"Please let me wait a little longer. The structure of the spider legs is strong and can bear heavy loads. It is very comfortable to sit on. Besides, I haven't seen your other martial spirit yet, Teacher."

Zhang San took full advantage of his status as a child and acted like a rogue.

"The other martial soul is no different, except it doesn't have this big belly."

Bibi Dong pursed her lips, with a hint of doting in her tone, and did not transform into the Soul-Eating Spider Emperor.

It was a little unbelievable, but she found herself inexplicably wanting Zhang San to stay on the spider's back for a while longer!
"Never mind, I'll see it later."

Zhang San laughed and said, "Teacher, when you activate your martial spirit, won't you stumble when you walk?"

"Fortunately, it's quite coordinated. When the beast martial spirit is used, it will make the spirit master develop an instinctive animal habit."

Bibi Dong explained softly.

Zhang San said "oh" and lay on the spider's back to observe it carefully.

Suddenly, Zhang San turned his head and looked at the sharp end of the spider's back, as if thinking about something.

As his gaze shifted, Bibi Dong's pretty face under her armor gradually turned red.

Her powerful cultivation allowed her to clearly sense Zhang San's sight, and that position...

"Okay, let's eat! Your hands are covered in venom, go wash them!"

Bibi Dong suddenly put away her martial spirit, threw Zhang San into the bathroom, and while Zhang San was washing his hands, she quickly calmed herself down.

Soon, when Zhang San came back after washing his hands, Bibi Dong had regained her previous intellectual and elegant state, but there was still a barely noticeable blush on the tips of her ears.

"Tell me, where are you planning to take the teacher to?" "Why?"

Zhang San sat down on the sofa: "Teacher, you haven't told me about your past yet!"

Bibi Dong's heart tightened when she heard this: "Well... didn't the teacher also tell you the secret of the twin martial spirits?"

"But this has nothing to do with our agreement."

Zhang San stared at Bibi Dong suspiciously: "Teacher, you are not going to cheat, are you?"

Bibi Dong was embarrassed for a moment and could only pick up the wine glass to hide her embarrassment: "Eat first, you haven't even taken two bites of the food yet, why are you in such a hurry..."

Zhang San said "oh" and stared at Bibi Dong eagerly.

Bibi Dong felt uncomfortable being stared at by him and sighed helplessly: "Alright, brat...what do you want to hear? Ask!"

Zhang San chuckled: "Love history or something?"

"Love..."

Bibi Dong smiled bitterly: "It's just that when I was young, I liked a boy. He was from a wealthy family, but he was kicked out of the family because of his lack of talent..."

Zhang San looked strange: "That pig-beast?"

"You are indeed very smart."

Bibi Dong sighed. She was not surprised that Zhang San could guess it.

"Oh--"

Zhang San nodded in understanding: "Then I think I have guessed the subsequent plot."

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong looked at him with amusement: "Then tell me, let me see if your guess is right?"

"It's nothing more than a story of a down-and-out young master and a proud young lady..."

Zhang San said cheerfully, "Although... that guy certainly wasn't worthy of you, Teacher, what you can't have will always be a source of unrest. I guess this story ended in regret, which is why you're so obsessed with it."

"What you can't get will always make you restless..."

Hearing Zhang San's words, Bibi Dong was startled and murmured softly: "No, it's not like that. My feelings for Xiaogang..."

"Little anus?"

Zhang San narrowed his eyes slightly: "The person the teacher is talking about is called Yu Xiaoang?"

Bibi Dong looked at him in surprise: "Have you heard of him?"

"I've seen him."

Zhang San chuckled, "What a coincidence! When I was in Notting City, I heard a deacon say that a Blue Silver Grass martial spirit with innate full soul power had awakened. What do you think, teacher?"

"This must not be ordinary blue silver grass."

Bibi Dong said calmly: "The quality of the martial soul is directly proportional to the innate soul power. The higher the quality, the higher the innate soul power."

"That's right, but guess what that little jade anus said?"

Zhang San chuckled. "He actually directly determined that the other party had twin martial souls. The reason was that he had investigated more than 600 Blue Silver Grass martial souls, and none of them could exceed the third level of innate soul power, so the child must have another martial soul."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly: "This... is a bit arbitrary."

"But the weird thing is, he actually got lucky."

Zhang San chuckled: "That kid really has twin spirits. His other spirit is the Clear Sky Hammer, which is known as the best weapon spirit in the world!"

"Haotian...Lanyin..."

Bibi Dong seemed to have thought of something and took a deep breath: "I see! Hehe..."

There was no doubt that the child's identity was clear.

Clear Sky Hammer, from the Clear Sky Sect.

As for the child's mother, she should be the 100,000-year-old soul beast that followed Tang Hao back then, a 100,000-year-old blue silver grass.

Only soul beasts of this level can give birth to offspring with Blue Silver Grass martial spirits of equal quality to the Clear Sky Hammer!
"Xiao San, can you tell the teacher in detail?"

"Actually, there's nothing much to say. I just watched a scene of recruiting disciples..."

Zhang San sneered and recounted the entire process of Tang San's apprenticeship in detail.

When Bibi Dong heard Yu Xiaogang's words: "I have even forgotten my own name," and saw Zhang San's undisguised ridicule, she felt embarrassed.

It felt like the idol she used to support had been ruined and was being used as a meme, which made her feel an indescribable shame...

Zhang San imitated Yu Xiaogang's behavior and shook his hands: "He held up Tang San's proof and said that maybe others couldn't see the flaws in it, but if I couldn't see it either, then I wouldn't be worthy of the title of Master~"

Bibi Dong: "..."

She knew very well how the title of Master came about. Although the title seemed respectful, it was actually a derogatory mockery.

How can this guy be so proud of himself...

And why didn’t I realize that Xiaogang was so good at pretending before?

Zhang San said in a gloomy tone, "That guy came up with a lot of theories full of loopholes and tricked Tang San into becoming his disciple. Out of curiosity, I checked his office. Teacher, guess what I found?"

"what?"

Bibi Dong felt a little nervous. Although Yu Xiaogang's image in her eyes had been almost shattered, out of emotionality, she still didn't want to hear any news that was unfavorable to him.

"I didn't find anything. The room was filled with soul beast illustrations and information on the effects of different soul beasts and medicines on martial spirits. There wasn't even a decent pharmacology book. It was obvious that he wanted to solve his own martial spirit problem, but he wasn't willing to spend time polishing himself..."

Zhang San shook his head. "I have no intention of interfering with your emotional experiences, teacher. After all, everyone has their youthful recklessness. But you must keep this kind of thing a secret. If it gets out..."

Bibi Dong sneered, "Why? Xiao San, do you think anyone would dare to threaten the teacher because of this?"

"Oh no, I mean, people will laugh at me behind my back..."

Zhang San quickly shook his head, his toes digging into the sofa. "Imagine if the person I like shamelessly gave himself a bunch of titles and praised himself without saying a word when meeting others..."

"Just thinking about that scene makes me so embarrassed that my scalp tingles. This is basically social death, right? I would rather die than let others know that I liked someone like this..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

Ah this...

It would have been fine if Zhang San hadn't said anything, but after he said that, not only Zhang San, but also Bibi Dong herself felt embarrassed.

This is also another use of identification psychology. When Party A puts forward a theoretically sufficient point of view and criticizes something in a high-profile manner, it often arouses Party B's identification emotions.

It's just like when a woman breaks up and her best friends gossip about her ex-boyfriend behind his back. This method is also often used by internet trolls to stir up gender confrontation.

Regardless of whether Bibi Dong's feelings for Yu Xiaogang will rekindle in the future, it does not prevent her from agreeing with Zhang San's words at the moment, and she will even find evidence to confirm this point of view.

Before, Zhang San's words would only arouse Bibi Dong's disgust towards him.

But now Yu Xiaogang's halo in her heart is shattered. Bibi Dong has been looking at him with a critical eye, and looking at the past from the perspective of an outsider, so naturally she will no longer be affected by emotional factors.

Bibi Dong looked at Zhang San hesitantly: "Really... is it so embarrassing?"

"Teacher, a true master always has the heart of a student. Just based on his character, he doesn't deserve the title of master!"

Zhang San shook his head and sighed, "Out of interest, I even read his martial arts spirit's ten core competencies. There are so many loopholes in it that it's easy to get your hands dirty using it as toilet paper!"

"There are no useless martial spirits, only useless spirit masters? Then what is he? Why would he accept a disciple with innate full spirit power?"

"A plant-type spirit master can absorb the spirit rings of an animal-type spirit beast? Of course! Nothing is absolute! But such disregard for the compatibility of the origin is extremely likely to have a negative impact on the spirit. It must be proven with a large amount of practical data. And he just said it so casually? How can he be the only smart person in the ten thousand years of history of Douluo Continent?"

"There are no heroes, so Zhuzi became famous!"

Zhang San said this with a cold laugh: "If such a fame-seeking person can be called a master of theory, then am I not the god of theory, the ancestor of soul masters?"

Bibi Dong was silent for a while.

Zhang San's words left her with no room for rebuttal.

When the facts were laid out before her, even if she didn't want to face it, she had to admit that she had indeed made a mistake and loved the wrong person.

The already shaky and dilapidated statue in my heart finally collapsed at this moment!

Bibi Dong sat quietly on the sofa, exuding a depressed aura.

At this moment, for some reason, Bibi Dong felt endlessly confused!

She didn't know what she was living for, nor did she know what to do in the future.

It was as if the beacon that had been guiding her was snapped and the kite was blown away.

All of a sudden, everything is filled with vanity.

And at the end of that illusion, there seemed to be endless malice and darkness churning endlessly, rushing towards her like a tide...

　Today's update! 5K here! Bibi Dong's psychological descriptions were a bit tricky and tangled, and the fast pace didn't fit at all. It took up quite a bit of time, so I'll continue my -up challenge tomorrow! Please give me your monthly votes!
