Inner Thoughts in the Car, Snake Grandma, Dragon Duke, and Canghui Academy

Once Du Bai fully matured, his Twin Martial Souls could possess eighteen soul rings, each over fifty thousand years old, perhaps even allowing him to become a god.

By then, Du Bai would be difficult to control.

Qian Xunji would not permit anyone beyond his control to exist. So, once Du Bai had exhausted his value, he would eliminate him.

"The empire can only belong to my Qian Clan!"

At that thought, Qian Xunji quickened his pace.

Meanwhile, Du Bai and Bibi Dong had no idea that Pope Qian Xunji had set his sights on them again.

However, it did not matter even if he had.

At the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, there was an immortal flower called Aromatic Silk Beauty, the Hundred Poisons Bane. Within the range of its fragrance, it could neutralize all toxins.

Du Bai and Bibi Dong were currently on their way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At this moment.

Night had begun to fall.

After traveling on foot, Du Bai and Bibi Dong switched to a carriage.

The carriage was equipped with excellent shock-absorbing Soul Tool devices.

As a result, Du Bai and Bibi Dong sat quite steadily inside.

Yet the atmosphere between them was somewhat awkward.

Because this newlywed couple remained completely silent.

Bibi Dong was a famously icy beauty. Obsessed with cultivation since childhood, she had few opportunities to socialize, so she was not much of a talker.

Even though Bibi Dong did not dislike Du Bai at this moment, and even felt some fondness for him, she still did not know what to say.

Since she did not know what to say, she naturally said nothing.

As for Du Bai, this was only the fourth day since he and Bibi Dong had married, and also the fourth day since they had begun getting to know each other.

Though they were husband and wife in name, Bibi Dong had said it was a fake marriage.

At this moment, Du Bai did not know whether he should be warm or distant.

If he acted warmly, he worried Bibi Dong would think he was strange, or that he was some pathetic simp.

So Du Bai simply chose to be distant.

After all, being aloof better suited Du Bai's usual personality.

But with the goddess he loved right before his eyes, Du Bai's heart thumped wildly.

Being so close to Bibi Dong left Du Bai sitting on pins and needles. It was agonizing. He wanted to find a topic to discuss, yet did not know what would be appropriate.

So Du Bai could only unleash his little universe within his heart.

Sigh, what should I say?

Bibi Dong, do you think this trip to Sunset Forest will go smoothly? No, that sounds too forced.

Bibi Dong, I only awakened my Martial Soul this time thanks to you. No, what if my wife Xiao Dong Dong thinks I'm being presumptuous?

Bibi Dong, are you hungry? That won't do either. What if my wife Xiao Dong Dong says she isn't hungry? Then the conversation will just die.

Ah, this is so annoying. I don't know what to say. My wife Xiao Dong Dong is right in front of me, but I can't even hug her.

I need to find a way to raise my wife Xiao Dong Dong's favorability toward me. Should I take the initiative to set up camp later? Catch some bunnies?

Mm, not bad. I should be a little more dependable and draw my wife Xiao Dong Dong's attention and affection!

Du Bai struggled inwardly as all sorts of strange thoughts continuously surfaced in his mind.

Just imagine it: when alone with the goddess you loved, would not every word and every movement become cautious and deliberate?

Du Bai was exactly like that.

Du Bai did not know that Bibi Dong could hear his inner thoughts, and he continued pouring out his thoughts without pause.

At this moment, Bibi Dong was desperately holding back the urge to laugh.

Du Bai always had such peculiar and amusing thoughts that Bibi Dong did not know whether to laugh or cry.

Du Bai was sitting on pins and needles, but Bibi Dong was not having an easy time either. She worked hard to control her expression so that Du Bai would not notice anything unusual.

So a person's inner world can be this interesting. Du Bai's inner world is far too amusing, and it's all about me!

Bibi Dong thought to herself, warmth filling her heart.

Bibi Dong found getting along with Du Bai rather interesting, especially since she could learn some of his thoughts.

Seeing Du Bai look calm on the surface while suffering inwardly made Bibi Dong feel happy and amused.

In truth, Bibi Dong was already slowly accepting Du Bai.

It was only that Du Bai and Bibi Dong had not known each other for long, and there were also the constraints of Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong still needed time to adjust to Du Bai. They needed unforgettable experiences to deepen their feelings and better understand each other's inner worlds.

That was why Bibi Dong had not refused Du Bai's request to go to Sunset Forest together this time.

If it had been the Bibi Dong of the past, she would certainly have rejected such an unreasonable request without hesitation.

Even if they had entered into a fake marriage.

And so it went.

Time slipped away before they knew it.

By now, dazzling stars had appeared in clusters across the sky, generously displaying their enchanting starlight.

If one could cook with the stars, a bowl of the Milky Way would fill the belly.

Before they realized it.

Du Bai and Bibi Dong arrived at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

Sunset Forest at night was dark and secluded, brimming with vigorous life. Unfamiliar soul beasts cried out from the woods, creating a sense that danger and opportunity coexisted.

"Bibi Dong, let's go. We'll head into the forest first and find a place to set up camp while we're at it."

Du Bai glanced at the holy and beautiful Bibi Dong beside him.

"Mm, all right."

Bibi Dong nodded lightly, making her tone as gentle as possible.

Of course, Du Bai was currently too thick-headed. Seeing Sunset Forest was like seeing treasure, and he did not notice Bibi Dong's subtle change.

And so.

Du Bai and Bibi Dong officially entered Sunset Forest.

Many soul masters arrived at Sunset Forest to obtain soul rings only after the sky had already darkened. Such things were common.

There were plenty like Du Bai and Bibi Dong who entered Sunset Forest as the stars rose into the sky.

The Peerless Dragon Snake and their granddaughter Meng Yiran were among them.

Snake Grandma Chao Tianxiang and Dragon Duke Meng Shu were merely Soul Emperor and Soul Douluo respectively, but the two possessed an exceptionally powerful Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

This Martial Soul Fusion Skill was called Dragon Snake Strike. When unleashed at full power, it possessed strength comparable to an ordinary Titled Douluo.

This time, the Peerless Dragon Snake had brought Meng Yiran into Sunset Forest mainly to find a suitable twentieth-level Soul Grandmaster soul ring for their granddaughter.

It could be said that the purpose of the three of them was the same as Du Bai's.

The difference was that Du Bai's target was a soul beast over fifty thousand years old, while theirs was a hundred-year soul beast.

Apart from the Dragon Snake couple and their granddaughter Meng Yiran.

Canghui Academy was also among the groups of soul masters entering Sunset Forest.

This time, Canghui Academy's teacher Shi Nian led the group to find suitable soul rings for his students.

Their group was currently camped at the outskirts of Sunset Forest.

Besides them, countless soul masters entered Sunset Forest at the same time.

Where there were people entering Sunset Forest, there were naturally people leaving it as well.

Poison Douluo Dugu Bo was one of the soul masters leaving Sunset Forest.
