Douluo Continent: Starting from Tianshui Academy

Chapter 158 The Great Demon and the Little Demon

Seeing Ye Liangchen's generosity, giving away two 30,000-year-old soul bones in one go, Qian Renxue felt that this guy was the real tycoon.

"Ye Liangchen, I don't need your soul bone. You saved my mother, so it's only right that I help you."

Qian Renxue looked at the two radiant soul bones in her hand and felt a little embarrassed, so she returned the soul bones to Ye Liangchen.

"Take it! This kind of ten-thousand-year-old soul bone is like a stone to me. You might not be able to get the Vast Ocean Universe Cover from Old Man Xueye without using the soul bone to smash it."

Ye Liangchen has many soul bones over 30,000 years old in his soul tool, and Shui Lanxin also has a bunch of them, so they are not short of soul bones at all.

"Xiao Chen, were these soul bones given to you by Sister Na behind you?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"Yes, she gave it to me."

"Godmother, are your soul bones full yet? If not, I still have a ten-thousand-year soul bone. As for your last one hundred-thousand-year soul ring, after the competition, we'll kill that one hundred-thousand-year soul beast and complete your last soul ring."

Ye Liangchen had a plan: after the competition, he would go and kill that 100,000-year-old soul beast.

"My soul bone is full now. I absorbed it too early before. If I had known you would help me find a 100,000-year-old soul beast, I would have deliberately left a soul bone slot."

"Xiao Chen, thank you."

Bibi Dong was very happy at this moment. This little guy had found a 100,000-year-old soul beast for her so quickly. He was really amazing.

"Ye Liangchen, you found a 100,000-year-old soul beast? Where is it?"

At this moment, Qian Renxue felt that her status as the young master of the Spirit Hall was nothing in front of Ye Liangchen. He could have any spirit bone he wanted, and a 100,000-year spirit ring could be obtained at will.

"It's a secret for now," Ye Liangchen said with a mysterious smile.

"Ye Liangchen, don't you trust me? You didn't even tell me."

Qian Renxue felt that this little guy was quite wary of her, completely different from Bibi Dong. She was, after all, Bibi Dong's daughter, so how could she be treated differently?

"Qian Renxue, you are a member of the Hall of Offerings, and your heart has always been with the Hall of Offerings. If you can't help but tell your grandfather about this, those old men might go crazy and kill that 100,000-year-old soul beast. Then your godmother won't be able to obtain the 100,000-year-old soul ring. She'll just be a puppet pope in the Spirit Hall. Your grandfather has always been on guard against her getting stronger, fearing that one day she'll storm the Hall of Offerings."

Ye Liangchen knew Bibi Dong's attitude from the Hall of Offerings, and was always on guard. He dared not tell Qian Renxue about this matter, in case those old men made a move prematurely for a 100,000-year-old soul bone, it would ruin his plans.

"Ye Liangchen, you have too much of a problem with our Hall of Worship! My grandfather isn't as bad as you think."

"I couldn't possibly let the people in the temple harm my mother!"

Qian Renxue felt that this little guy was practically a seasoned veteran. No wonder he was able to throw the Heavenly Dou Empire into chaos before. Was her grandfather really that bad in this little guy's eyes? He was practically a major villain.

"Qian Renxue, I believe you, but I don't believe the Hall of Offerings, especially since your godmother killed Qian Xunji with her own hands. Your grandfather can't just let this go. The reason he hasn't taken action is because of you. If it weren't for you, he would have killed your godmother long ago, and he wouldn't have let her become the Pope."

Ye Liangchen explained the pros and cons to Qian Renxue in detail, leaving the woman speechless.

"Xiaoxue, Xiaochen said two years ago that the decline of any powerful force begins with internal corruption. And the higher-ups within our Spirit Hall are just as Xiaochen said, scheming against each other and wary of one another. As the Pope, the only Title Douluos I can truly mobilize are Elders Gui and Ju. It's truly laughable."

"In the end, I am just an outsider, not a member of your Qian family. Moreover, I killed Qian Xunji, so it is only natural that Qian Daoliu hates me and is wary of me."

"But I'm not afraid of him anymore. If the Hall of Offerings dares to target me again, I'll ask Sister Na behind Xiao Chen to take action and kill your grandfather directly. I don't hate you, but that doesn't mean I'll let Qian Daoliu go. You'd better tell them to think carefully. If they keep using me as a tool of the Spirit Hall, I'm quitting."

Bibi Dong understood that Ye Liangchen wanted to use Qian Renxue to give her complete control over the Spirit Hall. So she deliberately scared Qian Renxue, hoping that the girl would go back and persuade the Hall of Worship to either give her complete control over the Spirit Hall or remove her from her post. Anyway, now that she had her godson backing her up, she felt more confident.

"Mother, please don't do this, I beg you, please don't kill my grandfather."

"I will go back and persuade Grandpa and the others."

Qian Renxue was startled by Bibi Dong's words. She was really afraid that her grandfather would be killed by Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong in collusion, especially Sister Na behind Ye Liangchen. Judging from Bibi Dong's tone, she was probably a god.

In the past, it would have been understandable if her mother had been bewitched by the Rakshasa's divine power, but now that she was cured, the Offering Hall could no longer treat her like this, otherwise, if she really ran away, it would be too late.

"In that case, let's go back to Heaven Dou City!"

Having achieved his goal, Ye Liangchen knew it was time to return.

"Xiao Chen, before you leave, can you call me 'older sister'?"

Qian Renxue grabbed Ye Liangchen's hand, wanting to get along with the little guy, since he had pointed out many major problems with the Spirit Hall.

"No, I won't call you that. My godmother said she was bringing me to meet someone important, but the first time we met, you tried to slash me with a sword and then wanted me to call you 'sister.' Who knows when you'll be in a bad mood and try to slash me with a sword again? I was caught completely off guard."

Ye Liangchen wouldn't tolerate Qian Renxue's arrogant attitude, so he directly refused her request, especially since he and Bibi Dong had just scared her.

"I'm sorry! I was wrong before. I apologize to you. You are my mother's godson now, which means you are my godson brother. From now on, we are family."

Qian Renxue coaxed the little guy gently. She knew she had done wrong by attacking him with a sword before, and now she had to get along well with him. Otherwise, if he really brought people to help Bibi Dong deal with her grandfather one day, things would be terrible.

"We'll talk about it later! Goodbye." Ye Liangchen pulled his hand away and left.

"That little guy is really something, so concerned about me trying to cut him with my sword, but with my strength, I couldn't hurt him at all." Qian Renxue watched the guy leave, feeling a bit depressed, and couldn't help but stomp her foot.

"Xiaoxue, don't rush! This is the first time he's met you. You'll get to know him better later."

"I'm leaving too. Take care of yourself."

Seeing that Ye Liangchen had left, Bibi Dong instructed Qian Renxue to be careful. Then she put on a veil to cover her stunning beauty and left with the little one. After all, her godson was her true love, and her daughter was just an accident.

"I will. Goodbye."

After watching her mother and the little one leave, Qian Renxue immediately returned to Tiandou City and began to plan the Vast Ocean Universe Cover for the little one.

……

After leaving Qian Renxue, Bibi Dong thought about what Ye Liangchen had said to Qian Renxue, all of which were to help her completely control the Spirit Hall.

"Xiao Chen, thank you for everything you've done for me." Bibi Dong reached out and ruffled Ye Liangchen's hair.

"Godmother, there's no need for such formalities between us. If you're in trouble, of course I have to help you!" Ye Liangchen thought to himself, "You're the only one in the Spirit Hall standing behind me. If I don't help you, who will I help?"

"Yes! Let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, your godmother will have to rely on you from now on."

"Godmother, what you just said has terrified Qian Renxue. She's probably scared to death right now."

"Of course. All these years I've been working like a slave for the Spirit Hall, but they still treat me like a puppet. It's time to teach them a lesson."

"Godmother, what do you think Qian Daoliu's reaction would be if he heard what we said?"

"Xiao Chen, I bet that old man will scream incredulously: Impossible! Absolutely impossible! That scene will be hilarious, hahahahaha..."

After saying these words to Ye Liangchen, Bibi Dong was in high spirits and let out a silvery laugh. At first, she laughed softly, but then her laughter gradually grew louder.

"Godmother, your laughter is a bit scary, like a demon queen."

"Hehe...! Xiao Chen, I learned this from you. If I am the Demon Queen, then you are the little devil, a cute little devil."

"..."

Bibi Dong smiled charmingly, feeling deeply moved. This little guy was much more reliable than Hu Liena and Qian Renxue. Those two girls were of no help to her at all and often caused her worry.

After returning to Tiandou City, Bibi Dong led Ye Liangchen towards the hotel.

"Godmother, I sense that a powerful being is spying on us, on the rooftop about 500 meters to the south."

Just then, Ye Liangchen sensed that a Title Douluo had locked onto him, so he immediately closed his eyes, activated his divine sense, and immediately perceived the other party.

"Xiao Chen, your mental strength is incredible!"

Bibi Dong watched as the little guy closed his eyes, and waves of mental energy emanated from his body. The strength of this mental energy was almost the same as her own.

"Yeah, I felt that person too. It seems like he's gone."

Bibi Dong looked in the direction Ye Liangchen had described and found that the other party had disappeared.

"Hey! Xiao Chen, look! That slovenly old man with a deadpan face a few dozen meters ahead is the Farting Master."

"Help me block them. Those young guys around him should be from the Shrek team."

At this moment, Bibi Dong discovered the Farting Master, so she immediately took Ye Liangchen's arm, pretending to be a couple, using the little guy's height to block her own figure, and even used her soul power to force sound into a line to transmit her voice to Ye Liangchen.

"Godmother, so that's how it is. The powerful figure who was spying on us earlier must have been Tang Dachui."

"That's right! He must be secretly protecting his son Tang San."

Ye Liangchen had never seen the Farting Master before, so he looked ahead and sure enough, he saw an old man with a blank expression, wearing a black robe, with a buzz cut and a full beard.

"Godmother, you had terrible taste back then! This is so awful! Did all the handsome guys in the Spirit Hall die out?"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's pathetic appearance, Ye Liangchen found it a bit funny, so he teased Bibi Dong.

"Xiao Chen, stop talking. I was young and ignorant, and my mind was clouded by greed."

Bibi Dong scoffed, lamenting her terrible taste. She really wanted to slap herself a few times. Luckily, she had only held hands with him before and hadn't done anything else, not even a kiss.

"Godmother, I think you were going through a rebellious phase back then. You saw so many handsome guys at the Spirit Hall, and when you suddenly saw someone different, who talked a lot but turned out to be a good-for-nothing, it piqued your curiosity."

"To put it simply, you're used to eating lots of meat and fish, so when you suddenly see vegetables, you think they taste better."

Ye Liangchen used his soul power to force the sound into a line and transmitted it to Bibi Dong.

"Xiao Chen, you've hit the nail on the head. Right now, I want to chop my own hand off."

Bibi Dong felt extremely disgusted when she recalled the hand that the Farting Master had once held.

"Wow, Boss Dai, that masked beauty next to that handsome guy is gorgeous. That guy is even more handsome than you."

"You fatso, what are you saying?!"

"Wow…!"

At this moment, the Shrek team from the opposite side walked over. As they passed Ye Liangchen and Bibi Dong, they all turned their heads and exclaimed in surprise.

"Alright, everyone, stop talking. Hurry back to the academy and practice your tactics. The Soul Master Competition is the day after tomorrow. I hope you can all make a name for yourselves and win the final championship."

At this moment, the Farting Master stopped the little monsters' discussion and led everyone away, thinking: What good is being handsome? If you're not a Soul Master, you'll just be trash in the end.

Because Bibi Dong was wearing a mask and had her head turned to the side, even though they passed each other, the Farting Master didn't recognize her.

"Godmother, Team Shrek still wants to win the championship!"

"Heh...! They're quite arrogant."

"Godmother, you should instruct Bishop Salas to first arrange some trash teams as opponents for the Shrek Academy team, and then arrange for them to face off against our Five Elements Academy... My goal is to undermine Tang Dachui's son's confidence and make him question his life. This is called the higher you climb, the harder you fall."

"Pfft...! Xiao Chen, you're so naughty! I love it! That farting master will probably be so angry he'll vomit blood. I'll have Salas handle everything."

Bibi Dong was delighted when she heard Ye Liangchen's plan, and the little guy's idea seemed to be venting his anger on her behalf.

"Xiao Chen, you know what? I've been wanting to find a chance to torment that farting master for a long time. Your idea is exactly the same as mine."

Bibi Dong's mischievous side kicked in, and she decided to team up with the little guy to prank and torment that farting master as punishment for his deception back then. If it weren't for that good-for-nothing, she might not have suffered retribution.

"Godmother, that line from the Farting Master, 'There are no useless martial souls, only useless soul masters,' feels like he was talking about himself."

"Xiao Chen, you're right. That good-for-nothing keeps saying that, but he never realized he's a good-for-nothing himself. Come on, let's go find Salas and have him tamper with the lottery to make it go according to your plan."

Bibi Dong led Ye Liangchen and quickly headed forward to plan what would happen next.
