Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 152 Bibi Dong is acting very strangely

Seeing that the stunningly beautiful female pope cared so much about him, Ye Liangchen felt like he was just like the character in the movie "Fight Back to School" who said, "The doctor said I have a bad stomach lately and can't eat hard food."

"Godmother, thank you. Actually, I participated in the Soul Master Competition because it was my first divine test." Ye Liangchen directly used his soul power to force his voice into a line and transmit it to Bibi Dong.

"Oh, I see! No wonder Shui Lanxin told me before that you would participate in the competition."

"Tell me quickly, what was the content of your first test?"

Bibi Dong also used her soul power to force the sound into a line and transmit it to Ye Liangchen. She was very happy that this little guy could tell her such an important thing.

"Lead the Tianshui team to win the championship," Ye Liangchen said calmly.

"Hehe...! Xiao Chen, the Goddess of Life is really good to you. This test is too easy for you."

"I have prepared three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones for you as a reward for winning the Soul Master Competition."

Upon hearing the contents of the little guy's first divine test, Bibi Dong felt as if this guy was the Goddess of Life's own son.

"Godmother, you've even prepared three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones for me. Don't the others in the Spirit Hall have any objections?"

Ye Liangchen knew that the ten-thousand-year-old soul bones that Bibi Dong took out should be the three pieces from the original story, all of which were over thirty thousand years old. Taking out three pieces at once required the consent of the old men in the Offering Hall.

"Heh...! Those old men believed that the Spirit Hall's Golden Team would definitely win this tournament, which is why they agreed."

Bibi Dong had put in a lot of effort to fool Qian Daoliu and his gang of old men before she could obtain the three ten-thousand-year-old soul bones.

Hearing Bibi Dong say this, Ye Liangchen felt that this woman's status in the Spirit Hall was actually just so-so, equivalent to a professional manager, while the old men in the Hall of Worship were the real board members.

"Xiao Chen, do you think I'll still have a chance to become a god in the future?"

Bibi Dong's Rakshasa divine sense was dispelled by Ye Liangchen, but she still wanted to become a god so that she could live with this little guy in the future. Otherwise, if he became a god and she died of old age, she would feel a little unwilling.

"Yes! Once I become a god, you will become a god too."

Ye Liangchen is destined to create a new world, leading the entire universe where the Douluo World is located to upgrade, and helping others become gods—that's a piece of cake for him.

"That's good! Then your godmother will be counting on you from now on."

Hearing what the little guy said, Bibi Dong was very excited. Now, if she wanted to become a god, she could only rely on this little guy.

Once you become a god, you might be able to do other things, such as causing filial piety to change or relationships to transform.

Shui Lanxin and her group followed behind, watching Bibi Dong holding the little guy's hand the whole time, and they couldn't help but feel that the woman might have some strange ideas.

"Sis, something's not right! This woman actually came all the way from the Spirit Hall to protect Xiao Chen. I'm really impressed by her. Is she worried that we can't protect Xiao Chen?"

"What's wrong? I think she's fine. You know she's changed so much thanks to Xiao Chen."

"Cailan, what's your opinion of them?"

"Dean, I have a feeling that woman will make a move against Xiaochen sooner or later."

"Really? She's a mother now, she wouldn't do that!"

"Senior sisters, Cai Lan said it's not now, it's in the future. Xiao Chen is destined to become a god, and with that woman's talent, she might become a god too. When everyone becomes a god, it'll be hard to say..."

"Hmm! That's true, but it won't be up to us then."

"I never imagined that the stunningly beautiful female pope would have such a side. Luckily, she's wearing a veil, otherwise anyone who knows her would be shocked to see her like this."

"No matter how stunningly beautiful she is, she is still a woman."

The Shui sisters, Su Lin, Ye Cailan, and Ye Suling used their soul power to communicate telepathically, discussing Bibi Dong's current state and finding it very interesting. They also admired the little guy; his methods of conquering women were simply too incredible. They figured that Bibi Dong, aside from offering herself in return, would probably do anything for him now.

Seeing Bibi Dong's attitude towards the little guy, Shui Bing'er and the others also felt that something was wrong with that woman.

"Wow! This little guy is really something."

Dugu Bo had been beaten by Chrysanthemum Douluo before and disliked the Spirit Hall, but now seeing the little guy take down the Spirit Hall's female pope in one move, eliminating one of their biggest enemies, such a move simply dazzled everyone.

……

Bibi Dong led Ye Liangchen and his group through a maze of turns to a hotel called Yueman.

This hotel was owned by the Spirit Hall. To ensure Ye Liangchen and his group had a comfortable stay, Bibi Dong booked the entire hotel. The hotel would not accommodate any other guests until Ye Liangchen participated in the finals.

"Shui Lanxin, the competition is still a few days away. In the next few days, I'm taking Xiaochen to meet an important person."

After dinner, Bibi Dong planned to take Ye Liangchen out for a walk alone to clear his head, so she made up an excuse to appease the Shui Lanxin sisters.

However, she really planned to introduce the little guy to her daughter, Qian Renxue, to give the girl a surprise and see how she would react to having a godson.

"Your Holiness, who are you taking Xiaochen to see?" Shui Lanxin couldn't understand what this woman was up to.

"It's not advisable to reveal her identity yet, since she's someone who can help Xiao Chen in the future anyway."

Bibi Dong can't reveal her daughter's undercover work right now, because the fewer people who know, the safer the girl will be.

"Alright then!" Seeing that Bibi Dong had said that, Shui Lanxin didn't press the matter further.

"Your Holiness, may I go with Xiao Chen?" Ye Cailan also wanted to go.

"Cai Lan, are you worried I can't protect Xiao Chen? I'm a level 98 Title Douluo!"

Bibi Dong thought to herself, "I just wanted to take the little guy out for a walk by myself, how could I let you, a woman, come along?"

"By the way, Shui Lanxin, I found out that Tang Hao is also in Heaven Dou City. He's like a mouse, lurking in some corner. He has a son named Tang San, who's at Heaven Dou Royal Academy and also has twin martial souls. As far as I know, they were originally from Shrek Academy in Soto City. That farting master Yu Xiaogang was also Tang San's teacher. He pulled a 'borrowing a chicken to lay eggs' plan with Heaven Dou Royal Academy..."

Bibi Dong learned about Yu Xiaogang's "borrowing a chicken to lay eggs" plan from the information Qian Renxue sent back to the Spirit Hall, and now she felt even more disgusted with that good-for-nothing.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong wanted to slap herself twice. How could she have been so easily fooled by that good-for-nothing?

Sigh! I really am all looks and no brains, a naive and innocent girl. I deserve to suffer later.

Fortunately, I've come to my senses now, otherwise I'd still be living in a fantasy. Just like Xiaochen said, everyone encounters bad things in life; consider them the price of growth!

"Tang Hao is in Heaven Dou City? And he even has a son with twin martial souls?"

"Shrek Academy is so shameless! To participate in the Soul Master Competition, they actually resorted to such a self-serving method of 'borrowing a chicken to lay an egg'—are the higher-ups at Heaven Dou Royal Academy out of their minds? They actually agreed to Shrek Academy's request?"

"Hehe...! As far as I know, the Heaven Dou Royal Academy hasn't produced any geniuses in recent years. Perhaps they only agreed to Shrek Academy's request for the sake of a superficial reputation."

Shui Lanxin, Dugu Bo, and the others discussed Shrek Academy's operations, feeling utterly speechless.

"Shui Lanxin, do you want to take action now? Or wait until Xiao Chen does it himself later? If you want to take action, I can help you," Bibi Dong asked.

"Let's wait for Xiao Chen!" Although Shui Lanxin really wanted to take action, she decided to let the little guy grow up and let him take action on his own.

"Alright then! Let's let him off the hook for now. Anyway, with Xiao Chen's growth rate, it won't be long before he can completely crush him."

"I'll take Xiao Chen and leave first. The owners of this hotel are all from our Spirit Hall. If you need anything, just tell them."

After Bibi Dong finished speaking, she led Ye Liangchen out of the Yueman Hotel.

"Xiao Chen's parents actually died at that person's hands!"

Dugu Bo and Ye Suling were very surprised when they heard the news.

"Senior Dugu, in this world, there are very few truly good people who can become strong. Even the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has done many things that stifle geniuses!"

Shui Lanxin said calmly that the girls around her were all so outstanding that they would definitely be coveted by powerful forces in the future, which would be a challenge for her.

……

Bibi Dong took Ye Liangchen for a stroll around the streets, bought some survival supplies, and then went to the Spirit Hall in Tiandou City. She wrote a letter and had a Soul Emperor expert from the Spirit Hall secretly deliver it to Qian Renxue. Then she took Ye Liangchen and headed towards the outskirts of the city.

"Godmother, what are we doing in this forest outside the city?"

Ye Liangchen watched as the woman led him into the wild forest, removed her veil, and looked at him with a radiant smile, her eyes revealing a unique expression.

"Come and relax with me. I'm so busy at the Spirit Hall, dealing with tons of things every day, so I'm taking a break."

"Xiao Chen, I've now truly understood what you meant by 'a caged bird.' Let me tell you, working every day... tell me, isn't being the Pope exhausting?"

Bibi Dong recounted her busy work at the Papal Palace in detail, as if she were complaining to Ye Liangchen.

"Godmother, you are the Pope of the Spirit Hall. You don't need to worry about everything. That would make you too tired. Delegate the small matters to your subordinates. You only need to grasp the big picture. You don't need to deal with any memorials every day."

"Also, didn't you say you have another apprentice named Hu Liena? We need to let her start taking on some important tasks so she can learn and grow. Otherwise, she'll only be able to live under your protection in the future and won't be able to shoulder any great responsibilities."

Ye Liangchen gave Bibi Dong some advice. As the saying goes, the bigger the boss, the easier it is, because there are people to do the work for you. Why do you have to work so hard?

"Yes, you're right! It seems I've been too demanding. From now on, I'll use your method to get them to help me with some of the work."

After hearing Ye Liangchen's words, Bibi Dong suddenly understood. It's not that one person is strong; it's that a group of people under one's command are strong. That is true strength.

"Godmother, let me play you a tune to cheer you up!"

Ye Liangchen walked to a flat rock, took out a guqin from his soul tool, and played a piece called "High Mountains and Flowing Water".

"Ding ding... Dong dong... Ding ding... Dong dong..."

As the beautiful music began, Bibi Dong felt as if she had entered a picturesque world. The tranquil and serene feeling made her feel incredibly comfortable, as if every pore on her body had opened up.

At that moment, all of Bibi Dong's worries vanished, and she felt refreshed and invigorated.

Looking at the young man playing the zither for her, with his flawless face and figure, she seemed like someone who had stepped out of a painting.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was captivated and moved, and she had the idea of ​​keeping this boy by her side forever.

"I was born before you were born, and you were born after I had grown old."

"What age does love have to do with anything? You're all going to be gods someday! Why are you still worried about that?"

"No, I am not worthy. My crippled body is not good enough for him."

"Heh...! How do you know you're not good enough? Maybe she just likes older women!"

"Liu Ruyan, if I did something to Xiaochen, would you forgive me if you knew from beyond the grave?"

"Haha...! Bibi Dong, it seems you've fallen for the little one. That's right, she helped you eliminate your inner demons, soothed your wounded soul with her beautiful music, dispelled your Rakshasa spirit, turned you back into a normal person, and even helped your martial spirit evolve into a beautiful form, truly transforming you into a perfect woman. Any other woman would have already given herself to her, so it's normal for you to fall in love."

"But I'm just a crippled body, I really don't deserve it! Fate! Why are you so cruel to me? If only I had been born a few decades later..."

Two Bibi Dongs appeared in Bibi Dong's mind, one black and one white. The two started arguing. The black Bibi Dong encouraged herself to boldly pursue her, while the white Bibi Dong desperately tried to stay rational.

"Ding ding... Dong dong..."

After Ye Liangchen finished playing "High Mountains and Flowing Water," he saw several small birds quietly watching him from a nearby tree and marveled at his own piano skills.

Huh! Why is this woman stunned? Did my playing the zither impress her? It's just a piece of music about high mountains and flowing water, a piece of music meant to relax the mind!

Ye Liangchen looked at Bibi Dong's motionless figure, like a statue, and was very curious.

"Godmother, what's wrong?" Ye Liangchen walked up to Bibi Dong and gently patted her shoulder.

"Xiao Chen..."

Bibi Dong snapped out of her daze and immediately hugged the boy in front of her tightly. In that instant, her heart, which had been empty for decades, was instantly filled, and she felt as if she had the whole world.

"What's wrong?"

Ye Liangchen felt the woman's body trembling slightly and thought something was wrong with her, so he prepared to push her away and take a look at her.

"Xiao Chen, let me hug you, just for a little while..."

At this moment, Bibi Dong longed to hold this perfect young man like this forever, but reason told her that she couldn't do that; she was just his elder.

Thinking of all this, Bibi Dong shed a tear, a large teardrop falling onto Ye Liangchen's shoulder.

"Godmother, are you sick? Why are you crying? Let me see, my medical skills are not bad."

Holy crap! Why is this woman crying? Ye Liangchen immediately broke free from the woman's embrace, grabbed Bibi Dong's wrist, took her pulse, and even closed his eyes to use his divine sense to check her physical condition.

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, your godmother is fine. The piano you played just now was so beautiful, it reminded me of my hometown when I was a child."

Seeing that the little guy was actually treating her, Bibi Dong stopped crying and started laughing. Her heart was warmed; this feeling of being cared for was truly wonderful.

"Xiao Chen, thank you for your concern."

Bibi Dong stared intently at Ye Liangchen, then hugged him and kissed the little guy on the forehead.

"Godmother, you're welcome."

This woman dragged him to this desolate wilderness, claiming she was going to see someone important, but now she's hugging and kissing him. Ye Liangchen has a feeling that one day she'll take him away from him. You see, this woman has a very strong possessive streak. If that happens, he'll become a real Cao Mengde (a notorious villain in Chinese folklore).
