Douluo Continent: My Martial Soul is the Black Dragon, I am the Lord of the Gods

Chapter 49 Feels good
……

"You're much bolder than I expected."

When Xuanming opened his eyes again, he saw an unfamiliar ceiling.

Unlike the previous platinum and gold theme, this one is dark purple, which is more suitable as a cemetery.

"Have I been sold again?" Xuanming sat up and looked at Bibi Dong sitting outside.

"Can't you think of something nice?" Bibi Dong picked up a pastry from the table and took a small bite.

“I’ve never seen it before, I can’t figure it out,” Xuanming said.

Bibi Dong nodded. "That's true. Even someone as knowledgeable as me has to sigh at your bad luck."

"How miserable."

When Yue Guan brought the child back from Tian Dou City, she sensed that the resentment in the child was about to burst, so she simply explained the situation and didn't force him. Instead, she told him to relax and take it slow.

But they had only been relaxing for a few days when the golden crocodile returned.

Human endurance is not limitless. As the number of unfortunate events increases, psychological pressure will accumulate until it reaches a critical point.

The saying "things shouldn't happen more than three times" refers to the limit of this kind of patience. If you haven't exploded after exceeding this limit, then you've basically become numb.

Numbness means that one has been successfully domesticated.

“Come and eat if you’re hungry, don’t say I’m abusing a child,” Bibi Dong said.

Xuanming jumped off the bed, walked over, sat down, and started eating by himself.

"You got into a fight with Qian Renxue?" Bibi Dong asked, resting her chin on her hand.

"How did you know?" Xuanming asked while stuffing something into his mouth.

“You have burns from sacred soul power,” Bibi Dong said.

“If it were Sendo Ryu, you would already be dead.”

"But I'm curious, how did you end up fighting with her?"

“She talked to me about the common people, but I didn’t believe her and argued back a few times,” Xuanming said.

She became furious.

"All living beings under heaven?" Bibi Dong was taken aback.

"She wouldn't have told you about the Heavenly Dou Empire, would she?"

“She said that Xue Qinghe has already pledged allegiance to the Spirit Hall for the sake of all living beings,” Xuan Ming said.

"Ask me if I'd be willing to help complete this great project."

"I see..." Bibi Dong nodded. She thought Qian Renxue was stupid enough to reveal that she had replaced Xue Qinghe.

"Then what do you think?"

"What's it to me?" Xuanming said.

"I think I'm already being kind and righteous enough by not harming others."

“That’s true.” Bibi Dong nodded.

Her father was conscripted into the army and never returned. Her mother died of illness. The people in the village did not take care of the child. She could not even go home. After awakening her martial spirit, she was abducted and sold. When she arrived in Tiandou City, she was almost beaten to death as a slave on the street, and the passersby just watched coldly.

And his martial spirit, though seemingly exceptionally gifted, is actually full of deadly things.

Qian Renxue, a person who has never been treated kindly by the world and has even suffered countless acts of malice, actually had the audacity to try to recruit him with the promise of the world's well-being...

"What else did she say to you?" Bibi Dong asked.

“She said she made a deal with you: you help me solve my martial soul problem,” Xuanming said.

"A deal?" Bibi Dong frowned slightly.

If it weren't for Qian Renxue's insistence on causing trouble, she would naturally have helped the child once he had settled in at the Martial Soul Academy.

Now that this whole mess has happened, it's actually Qian Renxue's doing?
"Do you believe what she said?" Bibi Dong asked.

"I don't believe it," Xuanming said.

"Then do you believe what I say?" Bibi Dong asked again.

"Barely," Xuanming said.

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "Why?"

“Because you speak more directly, instead of trying to fool me right away,” Xuanming said.

“You made it very clear from the beginning that you would help me, but I would have to pay a price.” “But she… it was as if she was condescendingly giving me charity, and I was entitled to be grateful to her and obey her every command.”

"I know I am weak, but I do not consider myself lowly."

"..."

"What are you doing?" Xuanming raised his head, looking at Bibi Dong who had placed her hand on his head with a puzzled expression.

The two dragons on his back only react when someone tries to touch them. If someone tries to touch him, he will only react when he is asleep, because when he is asleep, his willpower weakens, and his control over the two dragons also weakens.

When he was conscious, the two dragons were in a semi-dormant state.

Of course, if he is provoked and subconsciously believes that he is about to die, the two dragons will enter a berserk state and become extremely irritable.

“Your hair…” Bibi Dong picked up a small lock and touched it.

"It feels good, but it's too messy."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong took out a comb and a small red string and handed them to Xuanming.

"Tie it up, don't let your hair hang loose, it doesn't look right."

Xuanming looked at the little red string in front of him and asked, "Do you have a black one?"

"Do you want the pink one?" Bibi Dong asked.

Xuanming paused for a moment, took the comb, combed his hair neatly, and then picked up the small red string to tie his hair.

"Stop, stop, stop! What are you doing?" Bibi Dong couldn't stand it anymore.

"Who taught you this?"

Bibi Dong sighed, took out a mirror and placed it on the table. She stood up, walked behind Xuan Ming, grabbed his hair, and said, "Look carefully, this is how boys tie their hair."

"Wait a minute, I can tie it myself."

"If you move again, I'll knock you out and tie your hair into two topknots."

"..."

……

"Xuanming, go back..."

At noon, after finishing her class at the Martial Soul Academy, Hu Liena received news that Xuan Ming had returned and rushed over.

Just as he was about to greet him, he noticed that Xuanming's mood was a bit off.

She seemed like a young wife who had just been violated, quite resentful!
"What's wrong? Were you bullied?" Hu Liena cautiously approached.

"No." Xuanming's face fell; he didn't want to speak.

"Oh..." Hu Liena looked closely and found that Xuan Ming was indeed fine.

"Hey? Your hair is styled really well, even better than mine, just like the teacher's."

“This is what she did,” Xuanming said quietly.

"Nana, he doesn't know how to braid his hair yet. You can help him with it from now on." Bibi Dong walked over, already changed into her training clothes.

"Until he learns to tie his own hair, his hair is yours. Don't let it get all messy and unkempt."

“Uh…” Hu Liena looked a little awkward.

"Teacher, I don't dare to get too close to his back."

Pulling Xuanming from the front or side wouldn't be a problem, but if you approach from behind, the two dragons behind him have a bad temper.

“Don’t be afraid, he can control these two dragons,” Bibi Dong said.

"If you get bitten, it's definitely on purpose."

"Deliberately?" Hu Liena's eyes twitched slightly as she turned to look at Xuan Ming.

"So, you almost bit me earlier on purpose?"

“If you suddenly approach from behind, they will think they are about to be attacked,” Xuanming said.

Hu Liena was taken aback. "So, as long as you know about it, you can control them so they don't bite?"

"……Um."

"Can I touch it?"

"..."
