Mistaking Bibi Dong for His Own Sister at the Start

East Sea Coast.

In a peaceful mountain village, a five-story villa stood out conspicuously.

In the villa's study, Ye Tian set down the letter in his hand, his face filled with worry and conflicted emotions.

He had received word today that his sister, who worked as a maid in Spirit Hall's main city, was coming home!

"How am I supposed to convince my sister to stay?" Ye Tian sighed.

He was actually a transmigrator.

He had arrived in Douluo Continent three years ago.

With neither father nor mother, he and his sister had depended on each other.

Unfortunately, Ye Tian had transmigrated a little too late.

By then, the Shrek Seven Devils had already come into their own, and Spirit Hall was not far from destruction.

As a loyal fan of Bibi Dong, it was not as though he had never considered joining Spirit Hall, defeating the Shrek Seven Devils, and reaching the pinnacle of life.

But after truly transmigrating to Douluo Continent, he came to understand the root cause of Spirit Hall's downfall.

It was not because Spirit Hall was weak, nor because Tang San was too absurdly overpowered.

Rather, the conflicts across all of Douluo Continent were, in truth, manipulated by gods behind the scenes.

More precisely, they had been stirred up by the Asura God and the Sea God.

Their purpose was to contend with the Angel God and the Rakshasa God for the power of faith from Douluo Continent.

Even without the overpowered Tang San, there would have been a Zhang San or Li San to appear, inheriting the will of those two gods and destroying Spirit Hall.

It was an inescapable dead end from the very beginning.

After understanding this, Ye Tian carefully weighed his options and chose to stay out of it, making self-preservation his top priority.

Three years ago, he had begun preparing for the chaotic era that was about to arrive.

In a small place like East Sea Coast, he spread trade far and wide to earn funds, did good deeds to win people's hearts, and made technological weapons based on memories from his previous life. Under the pretext of defending against pirates and soul beasts, he recruited and trained an army.

In truth, Ye Tian did not have any great ambitions.

He did all this merely so that he could protect himself amid the coming chaos.

Secondly, he wanted to keep his sister safe from the turmoil of the troubled times, repaying her for raising him.

Beyond that, if he could find a beautiful wife, have a son and a daughter, and live a peaceful life, that would count as Ye Tian's ideal life.

Only...

Ye Tian had not fully inherited the original body's memories. He had no impression whatsoever of his sister's appearance or their relationship.

Therefore, figuring out how to deal with his sister when she returned home had become a difficult problem before him.

According to the letter, his sister would probably arrive home within the next day or two.

"I wonder what my sister will think when she comes home and sees that the old Thatched Cottage has turned into a grand villa?"

"And how should I explain it?"

Ye Tian stared blankly at the golden needle in his hand.

This golden needle was his martial soul, called the Taiyi Divine Needle.

It was a top-tier healing martial soul that had never appeared on Douluo Continent before. Its emergence might have been related to Ye Tian having been a student of traditional Chinese medicine in his previous life.

Once the Taiyi Divine Needle appeared, it could cure any illness.

It was precisely because of this miraculous martial soul that Ye Tian earned his first pot of gold.

Over the past three years, using that first pot of gold, he had continuously expanded his business empire and become the greatest hidden tycoon on the East Sea Coast.

"Like this Taiyi Divine Needle, I appeared out of nowhere. It's inevitable that my sister will become suspicious." Ye Tian looked melancholy.

"...But no matter what, she is my only family in this life. I can't hide it from her. I'll tell her the truth later," he thought.

On a country path along the East Sea Coast.

Hu Liena, dressed in short silk stockings and sporting short golden hair, silently watched Bibi Dong ahead of her.

Bibi Dong rarely went without formal attire. Today, she wore only a tight long dress that perfectly outlined her flawless figure.

Hu Liena sighed inwardly. Everyone envied her teacher Bibi Dong for her lofty position and immense power, but who could truly sense the burden resting on her teacher's shoulders?

As Spirit Hall's Pope, her teacher had to oversee all manner of difficult affairs within Spirit Hall. In her daily life, she also had to scheme and contend with the stubborn Hall of Elders, facing enormous pressure.

In recent years, Spirit Hall had continuously expanded its recruitment of soul masters, spending countless resources.

It had also been constantly purchasing military equipment in preparation for expanding its army at any time, costing an untold fortune.

Spirit Hall's financial pressure had increased to an unprecedented degree, and all of it had to be borne and resolved by her teacher alone.

Because she labored day and night, her teacher often suffered unbearable headaches and insomnia at night.

In the eyes of the world, her teacher had always been that peerlessly elegant, all-knowing, unfathomable Pope.

Yet only Hu Liena understood that her teacher was merely an ordinary person too, someone who could grow tired and vulnerable.

To ease her teacher's stress, Hu Liena had persuaded her several times before Bibi Dong finally agreed to come to the scenic East Sea Coast for a few days of vacation.

After arriving at the East Sea Coast, Hu Liena received an unexpected surprise.

There was someone here named Ye Tian, whose medical skills were exceptional and who was very famous throughout the East Sea Coast.

Her teacher had suffered unbearable headaches for years. Could he possibly treat them?

With the mindset of giving it a try, Hu Liena persuaded her teacher to visit Ye Tian incognito.

The East Sea Coast was close to the ocean and often saw cloudy, rainy weather.

After rain, the country roads became terribly muddy, and one would often end up covered in mud.

Along the way, Hu Liena discovered something remarkable.

Her shoes had not picked up even a trace of mud.

The country road was not riddled with potholes as she had imagined. Instead, it was covered by an exceptionally sturdy kind of "stone."

Even the roads of Spirit Hall's main city could not compare to it.

"Teacher, look at this road..."

Bibi Dong had noticed the concrete road beneath her feet as well. She narrowed her eyes slightly, seemingly deep in thought.

Just then, a farmer carrying rice passed by them and said with a simple grin:

"You two beauties must be outsiders, right? Young Master Ye had all these roads built for free. In all the villages around here, who doesn't know that Young Master Ye is a good man?"

"Ye Tian?" Hu Liena asked seriously.

"Yes! Young Master Ye is amazing!" The farmer gave a thumbs-up, then walked away smiling as he carried his rice.

Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong with her beautiful eyes, thoughtfully saying, "Teacher, it seems this Ye Tian is no ordinary person."

Bibi Dong looked ahead and said with a smile, "...What an interesting fellow."

The two chatted as they walked. Half an hour later, a luxurious five-story villa came into view.

"This must be the residence of that divine-needle doctor." Hu Liena's bright eyes curved like crescents as she pointed at the lavish villa and smiled.

Bibi Dong nodded lightly and stepped forward to knock on the door.

Inside the villa, Ye Tian, who had been waiting for some time, heard the sound. A smile appeared on his face as he slowly opened the door.

His only family in this life—his sister—had finally come home!

As the door opened, Ye Tian looked at the two with clear eyes.

Before him stood a girl with fair skin, wavy pinkish-purple hair, pinkish-purple eyes, and a tight long dress.

Behind the girl stood a golden-haired young woman about his age.

Clearly, the girl with pinkish-purple curls before him was his sister.

The other one should be a companion accompanying his sister home.

When facing the sister who had not returned home for three years, Ye Tian had previously worried over how to begin.

But when he saw his sister's almost perfect face, countless feelings of familiarity welled up within Ye Tian.

He himself was handsome and refined, so naturally his sister was stunningly beautiful too. That was the shared trait of a family.

"Sis, I only just saw the letter you wrote. I was thinking that Spirit Hall's main city was so far from the East Sea Coast that it would still take some time by carriage. I didn't expect you to be so punctual—and you even brought such a pretty little sister home as a guest." Ye Tian's face was brimming with a smile.

That single "sis" and "little sister" caught Bibi Dong and Hu Liena completely off guard, leaving them at a loss.

But Bibi Dong and Hu Liena were both exceptionally intelligent. Upon hearing Ye Tian's words, how could they not realize that the two of them had been mistaken for someone else?

"Sis, I heard that you often work night shifts in Spirit Hall and stay up late, which has given you headaches. Hurry inside and let me give you a couple of needles. I guarantee you'll feel completely refreshed."

Ye Tian raised his head and looked into Bibi Dong's pinkish-purple eyes.

Then he turned to Hu Liena and observed, "This little sister seems to have some hidden ailment as well. Do you often feel your Soul Power becoming chaotic and your Dantian aching? It was caused by improper cultivation. Hurry inside and let me give you a couple of needles too. I guarantee the needles will cure you immediately."

After speaking, Ye Tian invited the two women inside. He led the way ahead, talking to himself as he went:

"It's good that you two came back from Spirit Hall. Spirit Hall isn't a good place, after all. It looks incomparably powerful, but it's nothing more than a rabbit's tail—it won't last long."

"Within three years, the world will surely descend into chaos. Pope Bibi Dong and Spirit Hall are on the verge of destruction. If you remain there, you'll probably be dragged down with them."

"It's good that you came back. Hiding on the East Sea Coast and letting me protect you is the safest choice. That way, I can rest easy too."

The moment those words fell, Bibi Dong and Hu Liena both froze. They exchanged a glance, and enormous waves surged through their hearts!
