Six Years Later

"Hmm?"

Bibi Dong's expression darkened as a powerful aura leaked out, forcing Yue Guan back several steps.

Seeing this, Yue Guan hurriedly lowered his head, though he was deeply shocked. He had not expected Her Royal Highness, the Saintess, who was merely a Soul Douluo, to affect him, a Titled Douluo.

As expected, Bibi Dong, who possessed Twin Martial Souls, was terrifyingly powerful.

Seeing that the two no longer objected, Bibi Dong took light yet swift steps toward the source of the cries for help.

"Dear heavens, someone save me!"

Luo Chen shouted desperately in his heart. Was his life really going to end at the hands of a Ten-Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent? He refused to accept it.

"How presumptuous. A mere Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beast dares disturb Her Royal Highness, the Saintess."

Yue Guan looked disdainfully at the Ten-Thousand-Year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent in the distance.

As soon as he finished speaking, his martial soul, the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, appeared in his palm, and his body slowly rose into the air.

"Sixth Soul Skill: Golden Stamen Flowing Radiance!"

Yue Guan's Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum bloomed with golden flowers. Powerful Soul Power erupted, shooting forth alongside countless petals that transformed into a meteor shower and struck the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's head.

Bang!

The Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent had no time to flee and was killed in a single blow. Its corpse fell to the ground, and soon afterward, a black soul ring appeared above it.

Hearing the commotion, Luo Chen slowly opened his eyes and looked up at the three people who had saved him. As he examined their appearances, a guess gradually formed in his heart.

Could these three be Bibi Dong, Yue Guan, and Gui Mei?

At that thought, Luo Chen could not help secretly rejoicing. He had originally planned to join Spirit Hall, but he had not expected the opportunity to come so quickly.

"Just a baby?"

Bibi Dong looked at Luo Chen, who appeared to be an infant. Seeing no one else nearby, she froze and muttered in confusion.

Too strange!

How could a baby appear unharmed in the Star Dou Great Forest? Where were his parents?

After a moment, Bibi Dong's gaze settled on Luo Chen. Drawn in by the innocent light in his eyes, she slowly crouched down and held him in her arms.

"Your Royal Highness, this baby's origins are unknown. Should we dispose of him?"

At that moment, Yue Guan voiced his thoughts again. For this infant to remain safe and sound within the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest, there had to be something unusual about him.

For Her Royal Highness's safety, they had to eliminate all future trouble.

Hearing Yue Guan's words, Luo Chen trembled all over and clung tightly to Bibi Dong. Yet inwardly, he began plotting, silently marking Yue Guan down. Once he grew up, he would definitely settle the score with him.

"Enough. From now on, you are not allowed to interfere with my decisions."

Bibi Dong shot Yue Guan a fierce glare, her tone leaving no room for doubt. Once she finished speaking, her gaze returned to Luo Chen's little face.

For some reason, whenever she saw Luo Chen's innocent smile, the violence and darkness within her seemed to melt away like ice and snow. The corners of her lips lifted into a breathtaking smile.

"So beautiful. She truly deserves to be called the greatest beauty on Douluo Continent!"

For a moment, Bibi Dong's smile sent ripples through Luo Chen's heart. His eyes, sparkling like black gemstones, blinked as they stared fixedly at her face.

"Hmm?"

Bibi Dong was puzzled by this. Why did she keep feeling that this baby before her was not so simple?

After a moment, Bibi Dong decisively shook her head. Luo Chen looked like a baby who had only recently been born. Generally speaking, infants at this stage had not yet developed consciousness.

Of course, for Luo Chen, who possessed a system and whose body had been forcibly turned into that of an infant, none of that was a problem.

Looking down at Luo Chen's gaze, Bibi Dong's smile grew even warmer, like sunlight shining upon the earth as all things welcomed new life.

"We'll come back to hunt Soul Beasts in a few days. Let's return today."

Bibi Dong spoke to the two behind her, then strode toward Spirit Hall.

Gui Mei and Yue Guan exchanged helpless smiles behind her before following Bibi Dong back to Spirit Hall.

"What exactly happened to Her Royal Highness today? In all these years, I've never seen her smile so sincerely."

Yue Guan, following behind Bibi Dong, spoke with a puzzled expression.

"I don't know. In any case, we can't fathom Her Royal Highness's thoughts. Stop always opposing her decisions."

Gui Mei replied indifferently.

"Isn't that perfectly normal? A baby remaining unharmed in the inner region of the Star Dou Great Forest—no matter how you think about it, something feels wrong."

Yue Guan stroked his chin and pondered.

"You're overthinking it. What kind of trouble could a baby possibly cause?"

Gui Mei spoke dismissively upon hearing Yue Guan's words.

Though the thought had crossed his mind as well, he quickly dismissed it.

After all, they were Titled Douluo-level powerhouses. If something truly went wrong, could they not protect Bibi Dong?

What a joke!

Six years later.

Spirit Hall.

Luo Chen sat on the steps outside Bibi Dong's room, propping his chin on his hand as he gazed at the sun in the sky, his face full of boredom. These days were truly far too dull.

In the six years since he had arrived on Douluo Continent, the system had never appeared again, as if it had vanished entirely.

"Brother Chen, why are you sitting here daydreaming again?"

Just then, a little girl about six years old came running over energetically from the distance.

She had long golden hair draped over her shoulders, skin as white as snow, and a pair of golden eyes that shone with an unusual light.

The golden-haired girl sat beside Luo Chen, grabbed his arm, and leaned against his shoulder with a cheerful grin.

"Xiao Xue, you're already six years old. You should understand that boys and girls should keep their distance."

Luo Chen spoke earnestly, intending to move the golden-haired girl away from his arm. Yet no matter what he did, he could not pry her loose and could only let her lean against his shoulder.

"I refuse!"

The golden-haired girl replied unhappily, covering her ears with both hands, clearly having no intention of listening to what came next.

"If your grandfather sees you and me together, I'm afraid I won't escape another scolding."

Luo Chen sighed worriedly.

"Hmph, Brother Chen, if my grandfather bullies you again, tell me. I'll go back and settle the score with him."

Hearing this, the golden-haired girl angrily stood up, placed her hands on her hips, and spoke in a huff.

The golden-haired girl before him was Qian Renxue, the future Angel God. After arriving at Spirit Hall, Luo Chen had learned the current point in Douluo Continent's timeline.

He had arrived on Douluo Continent six years before Tang San. Perhaps Tang San would transmigrate to Douluo Continent before long.

In that case, he had six years to grow stronger. When the time came, dealing with Tang San would be easy.

Even if he had arrived on Douluo Continent at the same time as Tang San, with the system, dealing with Tang San would still have been effortless.
