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

Chapter 54 When you grow up, you can't cry anymore.

……

"How are you...?"

Realizing he had been tricked, Qian Daoliu didn't offer any pointless explanations and simply turned and left.

The former painstakingly helped repair the martial soul, while the latter unreasonably forced his way in and even injured the former. How can this situation be explained?

Facts speak louder than words!

Explanations will only make things worse!

"I'm fine, you can relax and enjoy your medicinal bath."

Bibi Dong sealed the door to the secret chamber, returned to her bed, sat cross-legged, and began to circulate her internal energy to recover.

The gap between level 98 and level 99 is still too large. I need to find an opportunity to add another soul ring to the Soul Devouring Spider Queen. If I have two more top-tier soul beast soul rings that are over 80,000 years old, I should be able to push her to level 99. At that time, that thing can also begin...

……

Several days later, after several changes of herbal medicine, Xuanming was finally able to move around normally.

This kind of martial soul repair requires cutting open the abnormally adhered parts and suturing the parts that should be connected back together, just like surgery, except that the target of the surgery is the martial soul, and there is no anesthesia.

If it were a normal martial soul, the difficulty wouldn't be too great, but his two martial souls were too ferocious, and they were very restless during the repair process. It was like performing surgery on a wounded person who was constantly struggling and resisting. Even though he had tried his best to suppress them, the process was still very troublesome.

In addition, his Black Dragon Martial Soul had too great an impact on his body. When he was repairing his Martial Soul, it felt as if his whole body was being torn apart by the Soul-Devouring Spider King, which almost caused him to collapse.

The newly repaired martial soul is very fragile, just like a patient who has just undergone surgery. He cannot move around and must wait for the wound to heal. For the past few days, he has been soaking in medicinal baths as if he were paralyzed, and at most he can only move his neck.

Seeing that Bibi Dong was still cultivating with her eyes closed, Xuanming carefully stepped out of the wooden tub and put on his clothes.

“You’ve been staring at my naked bottom for over half a month now, and you’re still embarrassed?” Bibi Dong suddenly spoke up.

Xuanming paused, "This is different."

“What’s different?” Bibi Dong opened her eyes.

“Look, it’s your problem, and it’s my problem if I stop it,” Xuanming said.

Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow. "What if I insist on watching?"

“You can act like a hooligan, but I can’t be shameless,” Xuanming said.

Bibi Dong's face darkened. "Come here!"

Xuanming hesitated for a moment, then walked over. "What are you doing?"

“Smile,” Bibi Dong said.

Xuanming looked puzzled. "Why?"

“The problem with your martial spirit is solved, aren’t you happy?” Bibi Dong asked.

“I’m happy,” Xuanming said.

"Happy but still looking sullen?" Bibi Dong reached out her right hand and pinched Xuanming's left cheek.

"Smile. I've never seen you smile before."

"I can't laugh." Xuanming tried to pull Bibi Dong's hand away.

But as soon as he raised his hand, Bibi Dong reached up with her other hand and started making faces at his face!

When he tried to resist, Bibi Dong grabbed his face and started rubbing it.

Faced with the enormous power disparity, Xuanming had no choice but to give up resisting.

After playing for a while longer, Bibi Dong finally let Xuanming go.

If she had acted like this before, those two dragons behind this kid would definitely have bitten her already.

But now, there's no reaction at all; they just let her do whatever she wants with them.

"Children should smile more, don't always have a long face," Bibi Dong said.

"Why?" Xuanming asked.

“If you don’t laugh now, you’ll be even less able to laugh when you grow up,” Bibi Dong said.

"Smile now, and at least you'll know how to fake a smile later."

"Otherwise, you wouldn't even be able to fake it."

"Why are you pretending to smile?" Xuanming asked.

Bibi Dong stood up, stood on the ground, and pulled Xuanming out of the secret room.

"Because when you grow up, you can't cry anymore."

……

"Teacher, you...you're injured?"

Upon receiving news that Bibi Dong had emerged from seclusion, Hu Liena rushed over from the Spirit Academy and immediately noticed that Bibi Dong's expression was somewhat off.

"I'm not injured, just a bit exhausted," Bibi Dong said.

"You'll be fine after a period of rest."

"Really?" Hu Liena asked, somewhat worried.

"Don't worry, it's alright," Bibi Dong said.

"Also, Xuanming needs to rest for a while and will not be going to the Martial Soul Academy for the time being."

Hu Liena nodded. "Teacher, his problem... is it solved?" "Mostly solved," Bibi Dong said.

“Basic?” Hu Liena was taken aback.

"Any other questions?"

"I've taken care of the trouble caused by the conflict between martial spirits, but there's nothing I can do about the inherent flaws in the martial spirit itself," Bibi Dong said.

The Black Dragon Martial Soul still carries a significant risk of going out of control, and the Blood Spear Martial Soul's devouring properties remain. These are inherent flaws of Martial Soul mutations, and there's nothing she can do about them.

The spirit repair she performed was merely to prevent Xuanming from self-destructing due to the conflict between the two spirits.

"Regarding the issue of the Black Dragon Martial Soul going out of control, you should cultivate the Blood Spear first. Once your cultivation level increases and you have sufficiently strong mental power and willpower, then you can cultivate it. There shouldn't be any major problems then," Bibi Dong said.

"As for the Blood Spear Martial Soul's absorption... there should be a limit."

During the repair process, she discovered that most of what this Blood Spear Martial Soul absorbed was used to nourish itself, while a small portion was fed back to Xuanming.

However, if the blood spear doesn't consume enough of what it has absorbed, it will begin to devour Xuanming itself on a large scale, far exceeding the amount it feeds back.

At the same time, the more Blood Spear eats, the higher its quality becomes, and the greater its appetite becomes.

If you eat too much at once and make the Blood Spear's appetite too big, it will easily fall into a vicious cycle.

Therefore, the growth of the Blood Spear must not exceed that of Xuanming by too much, otherwise he will not be able to afford the consumption of this thing.

“Take it slow. You’ve been through so much bad luck and you’re still alive, which means that although you’re unlucky, you’re still pretty tough,” Bibi Dong said.

Hu Liena looked at her strangely, "Teacher, is that how you comfort someone?"

“I can’t just close my eyes and say he’s incredibly lucky,” Bibi Dong said.

"Do you think it fits?"

“Uh…” Hu Liena was speechless for a moment.

Xuanming's luck is truly unbelievable; the fact that he's still alive is purely due to his incredible luck!
“Alright, I…” Bibi Dong’s eyes changed slightly.

"Nana, take Xuanming to the back."

"Huh? Oh." Hu Liena was stunned for a moment, then pulled Xuan Ming away and ran off.

"..."

"Is there any need to be in such a hurry?" Bibi Dong said somewhat coldly.

"The High Priest sent me to take a look. If the problem is solved, I'll take the person back," said Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Perfect timing. The crown prince should be appointed soon, and this kid will come in handy."

“He still needs some time to recover,” Bibi Dong said.

"Is it that he needs to recover, or are you trying to tamper with him?" Golden Crocodile Douluo said coldly.

“If Elder Jin’e doesn’t believe me, he can take the person away right now,” Bibi Dong said calmly.

"However, if any problems arise in the future, don't come looking for me!"

"..."

"I'll give you another half month." Golden Crocodile Douluo turned and left.

"Don't forget, you were the one who proposed the Heavenly Dou Empire's plan. Now that the plan needs assistance, you should fully cooperate."

"I'll come and lead the team in two weeks. Let's hope there aren't any other problems then."

"Stop!" Bibi Dong shouted.

"What are you doing?" Golden Crocodile Douluo stopped in his tracks and asked without turning his head.

Bibi Dong took out a list and threw it at Golden Crocodile Douluo, "Deliver these items within three days."

Golden Crocodile Douluo glanced at it, and his face instantly fell. "Bibi Dong, don't go too far."

This is blatant robbery!

"Does Elder Jin'e not know what damage to one's martial spirit means?" Bibi Dong said.

“Even high-level Soul Masters need a year or two to fully recover, let alone a child like him.”

"If you want speed, then show some sincerity."

"Sincerity? Do you take me for a three-year-old?" Golden Crocodile Douluo turned around.

"Is this something a junior Soul Master would need for their Martial Soul?"

“He naturally doesn’t need it, but I do,” Bibi Dong said.

"Does Elder Golden Crocodile think I have it easy, going through all this trouble?"

"Or is it that the High Priest is so poor that he can't even afford this little thing?"

"You!" Golden Crocodile Douluo's face darkened.

They're asking for an exorbitant amount and they still think they're justified?
“If the Grand Elder really can’t come up with the money, Elder Jin’e might as well ask our Crown Prince. Maybe he can scrape some out of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family’s treasury to help the Grand Elder?” Bibi Dong said.

"Humph!"

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly and turned to leave the Papal Palace.

The Hall of Offerings could naturally produce these items, but the thought that they were for Bibi Dong to use for recovery made him feel uneasy!

This woman is deliberately trying to disgust them!
