On their wedding day, some rejoiced while others grieved.
Spirit Hall.
Inside Pope Palace.
Qian Xunji's face was exceedingly grim. The faint, shadowy ghostly figure behind him made him appear even more terrifying.
Qian Xunji had wanted Bibi Dong for far more than a day or two.
He had been secretly nursing the injuries inflicted by the Clear Sky Hammer, which was why he had not made a move against Bibi Dong.
Yet Bibi Dong had now become Holy Son Du Bai's wife. One misstep had led to eternal regret!
Qian Xunji felt terrible inside.
If possible, he would rather forgo treating his injuries. Getting Dong'er first was what mattered.
Although Du Bai was Spirit Hall's Holy Son and his own disciple, and they belonged to the same faction.
The feeling of having his wife stolen, yet still having to offer congratulations, was something Qian Xunji could not accept.
No, he had to make something happen. He had to stir up some trouble.
"Yue Guan."
Qian Xunji spoke in a low voice.
"Your subordinate is here."
Before Qian Xunji stood a man with long golden hair, clad in golden armor. His features were bewitchingly beautiful, yet his entire body exuded an air of nobility. He respectfully bowed in response.
This man was Yue Guan, the level 95 Titled Douluo whose Martial Soul was the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum. He bore the title "Chrysanthemum" and served as an elder of Spirit Hall's Pope Palace.
"Today is the wedding day of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden, a joyous occasion. But as their teacher, I fear they will neglect their cultivation."
"Therefore, Yue Guan, go in my stead tomorrow. Tell the Holy Son that he must undergo Martial Soul Second Awakening within five years, or else he will be sent to train in the City of Slaughter."
A sharp glint flashed through Qian Xunji's eyes.
Du Bai, Du Bai. You may have Twin Martial Souls, but they have not fully awakened yet. You are not of much use to Spirit Hall at the moment.
As your teacher, I'll use this excuse to send you away. While you're gone, I'll have another chance to get Dong'er.
Du Bai, don't blame your teacher for being heartless. I've craved Dong'er's body for far too long.
"Yes, His Holiness the Pope."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan replied respectfully.
On the other side of Spirit Hall.
At that moment, two despondent figures were drinking alone.
"I never expected it. You, me, and Bibi Dong were known as Spirit Hall's Glory Generation, yet Dong'er got married today."
A muscular man with flame-like hair lifted a large bowl of wine and drained it in huge gulps, his eyes filled with unwillingness.
"Indeed. Xie Mo and you, Yi, were publicly acknowledged as the two most likely to marry Bibi Dong. Ridiculous, truly ridiculous. Dong'er was actually taken by that blockhead. I can't accept it!"
Xie Mo, whose face bore mysterious patterns of baleful energy, gave a bitter laugh and emptied the fine wine in his bowl in great gulps as well.
The two drinking their sorrows away were Yi and Xie Mo.
Yi was the elder brother of Yan, who would later become part of the Golden Generation, while Xie Mo was the elder brother of Xie Yue and Hu Liena.
Both of them studied under Spirit Hall's Second Worship, Golden Crocodile Douluo.
Together with Bibi Dong, they formed Spirit Hall's Glory Generation and had led Spirit Hall's team to victory in the All-Continent Soul Master Competition.
Xie Mo and Yi were only slightly below Bibi Dong in soul master rank. They were level 78 and level 79 Soul Sages respectively.
They were just a step away from becoming Soul Douluos. Both were future pillars of Spirit Hall and outstanding talents among the younger generation.
"What's the use of refusing to accept it? It's already settled, isn't it?"
Yi gave a bitter smile.
Upon hearing that, the grief and resentment of heartbreak intertwined within Xie Mo's heart. He grabbed the wine jug and drank deeply from it.
Bang—
After emptying it, Xie Mo hurled the jug to the ground in frustration, smashing it into pieces.
"No, I can't take this insult. Let's fight. We'll find that bastard tomorrow and fight him. I feel like if I don't have this fight, I'll never break through to Titled Douluo for the rest of my life!"
"But he's the Holy Son. If we show up at his door the day after his wedding, won't everyone think we're deliberately picking a fight?"
Yi let out a long sigh.
"Picking a fight? We are picking a fight. What, are you scared?"
"Xie Mo, don't you know me, Yi? When have I ever been afraid? Du Bai may be a Soul Douluo with Twin Martial Souls, but don't forget, they're nothing more than two useless Martial Souls that failed to mutate."
"Right, you're right. Just two useless Martial Souls. We can beat him! Come, let's finish this jug."
As he spoke, Yi and Xie Mo each raised a new jug of wine and clinked them together.
"At daybreak, we'll go fight him. Whoever chickens out is a bastard with a ten-centimeter dick for life!"
"Fine! Whoever chickens out is a bastard with a ten-centimeter dick for life!"
These two love rivals, who had spent most of their lives fighting over Bibi Dong, thus temporarily formed an alliance and set out together to challenge Du Bai.
Meanwhile, Du Bai himself had no idea that he had already been targeted.
At that moment, Du Bai was still fantasizing about secretly undergoing Martial Soul Second Awakening once dawn arrived.
The Jade Rabbit sank in the west, and the Golden Crow rose in the east.
Soft sunlight gradually spilled into the room. The fresh air made one want to awaken alongside all living things.
Even Grandpa Sun has gotten up. It's time for me to get up too.
Du Bai stretched and discovered that the goddess Bibi Dong had emerged from her cultivation state and was looking his way.
"Morning."
Du Bai took the initiative to greet Bibi Dong.
"Mhm."
Bibi Dong nodded indifferently, her emotions unreadable.
But inwardly, Bibi Dong thought, You're already a Soul Douluo, and you're still talking about Grandpa Sun? How childish!
The moment he woke up, the goddess he had been yearning for was right before his eyes, filling Du Bai with excitement.
My wife Dong'er is so pleasing to look at. As expected of the most beautiful woman on the Douluo Continent.
Bibi Dong's proper attire tightly concealed her perfect, fiery figure without revealing anything.
Combined with her noble bearing and peerless beauty, she looked pure and sacred, yet stirred desire in people's hearts.
Seeing the goddess I adore first thing in the morning feels amazing.
Du Bai's proud inner voice made Bibi Dong freeze.
That inner voice was filled with pride over his wife's beauty, and with joy at being able to see his wife when he woke up in the morning.
And that wife was Bibi Dong herself.
Thinking back to Du Bai's inner voice on their wedding night—tormenting Yu Xiaogang, tormenting Qian Xunji, tormenting everyone who stood in the way of his wife Dong'er—
Could it be that Du Bai has always been secretly in love with me? Personally killing Yu Xiaogang... Qian Xunji... He has been quietly watching over everything about me.
Bibi Dong's heart was in turmoil.
The image she had always held of the Holy Son as withdrawn and dull in matters of human emotion was completely overturned in an instant.
Impossible, impossible. I already labeled this man an ultimate gay man. How could he possibly have feelings for me? Bibi Dong frantically shook her head.
"What's wrong with you?"
Du Bai watched the beauty before him mutter to herself and shake her head about, utterly confused.
Bibi Dong did not answer him. She merely stared blankly at Du Bai, her gaze carrying a subtle change.
At that moment, Du Bai had nothing but Martial Soul Awakening on his mind. Being so thick-headed, he had no thought to spare for reading her expressions. He simply assumed Bibi Dong was not fully awake in the morning.
"Bibi Dong, I need to go take care of something. I'll be back when I'm done."
Du Bai spoke calmly.
Bibi Dong was slightly stunned. This guy was putting on an act. Then she heard Du Bai's inner voice again.
Wife Dong'er, I'm going to undergo Martial Soul Second Awakening. When I get back, I'll definitely shock you. Hahaha.
That immature inner voice pulled Bibi Dong back to her senses, preventing her from continuing to lose composure.
What exactly is inside Du Bai's head? Is shocking me really that interesting?
