Return to Spirit City! Bibi Dong's Sinister Smile! She's Been Holding Back for So Long

Return to Spirit City! Bibi Dong's Sinister Smile! She's Been Holding Back for So Long! Part One!

Time went by in circles, and more than a month passed in the blink of an eye.

Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two tagalongs, drove the carriage as they finally neared their return to Spirit City from the Star Dou Great Forest.

It had to be said that throughout this past month, Bibi Dong had been exceptionally well-behaved, proper, and normal.

Every day, aside from cultivating, all she did was cultivate.

Even when sleeping, Bibi Dong did not come disturb Qian Chengxiao. She continued cultivating diligently and tirelessly.

Before they had gone to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain Soul Rings, Bibi Dong had also cultivated wholeheartedly.

But whenever it was time to sleep, she would shamelessly cling to Qian Chengxiao's side, occasionally pulling little tricks.

Yet after obtaining her Soul Ring this time, Bibi Dong seemed like a completely different person. Ever since they began their return journey, she had become as proper as could be.

She either spent the entire day cultivating or was on her way to cultivate.

This had caused Bibi Dong's Soul Power to soar from level thirteen to level eighteen after absorbing her Soul Ring.

For Bibi Dong, absorbing a fifteen-hundred-year Soul Ring as her First Soul Ring should have raised her Soul Power to at least level fifteen.

But as a reincarnator, Bibi Dong deeply understood the importance of a solid foundation.

So, she compressed her Soul Power again and again, constantly refining it until it became purer.

That way, once she became a Title Douluo in the future, the Soul Power within her body would be far purer than that of other Title Douluos, and her combat strength would undoubtedly double.

Bibi Dong knew what mattered, so from the very beginning, she chose the more difficult path to strengthen herself.

If she had not spent this past month constantly compressing her Soul Power while cultivating—

before their carriage had even made it halfway back, this girl would probably have needed to return to the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain another Soul Ring.

Sitting in the carriage, Qian Chengxiao watched Bibi Dong continue cultivating with her eyes closed and his own eyes narrowed slightly.

Since she had become so normal lately, he had been able to enjoy some peace and quiet while cultivating properly himself.

He could guess some of the reasons Bibi Dong was working so hard.

First, she wanted to eliminate all the hidden dangers that would arise in the future.

After all, only absolute strength gave one the right to speak in this world.

Second, that crazy woman Bibi Dong definitely wanted to catch up to him, perhaps even surpass him.

Only by surpassing him would she have the strength to suppress him. Then, she would be able to do whatever she wanted.

At that thought, a cold smile appeared on Qian Chengxiao's face.

Bibi Dong, you're too naive.

Wanting to surpass me in this life? You might as well dream of eating shit.

He had absorbed a three-thousand-year First Soul Ring and a Ten Thousand-Year second Soul Ring. Even after more than a month of dedicated cultivation, his Soul Power had only reached level twenty-five.

After a month of intensive cultivation, his Soul Power had only increased by two levels.

On the surface, it seemed like his month of intensive cultivation had not improved as quickly as Bibi Dong's.

But in truth, the compressed Soul Power within his body was three to four times that of Bibi Dong's.

If his Soul Power had not been compressed at all, then with the boost from that three-thousand-year Soul Ring and the Ten Thousand-Year Soul Ring, his Soul Power could have broken through level thirty, allowing him to directly absorb his third Soul Ring.

With another month of intensive cultivation on top of that, his Soul Power could have reached at least level thirty-seven.

Don't be fooled by the fact that his Soul Power was only level twenty-five now. Even against a level-forty Soul Ancestor, he had the strength to fight—and even kill them.

Want to surpass me? Even if you found an inherited godhood right now, don't even think about it.

Yet strangely enough, the closer they got to Spirit City, the greater the unease in Qian Chengxiao's heart became.

He could only sense that this unease came from that crazy woman Bibi Dong, but no matter how hard he thought, he could not figure out what it was.

Since he could not figure it out, Qian Chengxiao closed his eyes and focused his mind, beginning to cultivate diligently so he would not dwell on it.

After all, once they returned to Spirit City and his Soul Power reached level thirty, Qian Daoliu would take him away.

By then, he could begin laying out his plans across the Douluo Continent.

This time, his attention would no longer be on Bibi Dong, nor would he let love cloud his judgment.

Knowing everything, he would personally weave a vast net for Yu Xiaogang, Tang San, and the others, then sit back and watch their despair.

Less than three days after Qian Chengxiao entered cultivation, the group had already returned to Spirit City.

"Girl, brat, get out. We're home."

As Yue Guan and Gui Mei drove the carriage to the front of the Pope's Palace, Chihiro Ji's voice came from outside the carriage.

"Mm, coming."

Hearing Chihiro Ji call out, Qian Chengxiao emerged from his cultivation.

Just as he was about to step down from the carriage, Bibi Dong grabbed him.

"Something wrong?"

Qian Chengxiao looked at Bibi Dong gripping his arm, then turned to face her.

"Cheng Xiao, wait for me tonight~"

"I'll give you a huge surprise!"

As Bibi Dong spoke, she gave Qian Chengxiao a playful wink.

Without waiting for his reply, she jumped down from the carriage first.

As for Qian Chengxiao, hearing Bibi Dong's words and recalling that playful, adorable expression on her face when she winked at him, he could not help but shudder.

"She's sick!"

"That woman is seriously sick in the head!"

As he spoke, Qian Chengxiao shuddered again before getting out of the carriage.

When Qian Chengxiao stepped down, Bibi Dong was nowhere to be seen in front of the carriage.

No one knew what that woman was up to. The moment she got out, she rushed anxiously into the rear courtyard of the Pope's Palace—their residence.

"Brat, go back and get some proper rest. You've been cultivating all this time."

"Sometimes, balancing work and rest is the only way to make greater progress."

"Relax properly!"

As Chihiro Ji said this to Qian Chengxiao after he got out of the carriage, he gave him a meaningful look and patted him on the shoulder.

"That's right. You can't rush cultivation either."

"When it's time to relax, you should relax properly."

"Go on. No one in the Pope's Palace will disturb your rest for the entire day today!"

After Chihiro Ji finished speaking, Qian Daoliu also came over and patted the utterly bewildered Qian Chengxiao before leaving with Chihiro Ji and disappearing from his sight.

As for Yue Guan and Gui Mei, the two brothers in misery had already slipped away without a sound when Chihiro Ji began speaking.

""

Watching everyone suddenly leave, and hearing the inexplicable words from Chihiro Ji and Qian Daoliu, Qian Chengxiao was rendered speechless.

What was wrong with everyone today?

It was normal for that lunatic Bibi Dong to become strange. After all, that crazy woman had never been normal to begin with.

But Chihiro Ji and Qian Daoliu had always been more composed than anyone else. Why were they acting so strangely today as well?

Though he could not quite understand it, Qian Chengxiao vaguely felt that the reason Chihiro Ji and Qian Daoliu were acting so strangely was probably because of Bibi Dong.
