Bibi Dong: What Should You Call Me?

Qian Daoliu sat beside Ye Tianxing and smiled contentedly. The scene was exceedingly warm.

"Thank you for keeping Grandpa company these past six years." Qian Daoliu smiled faintly, then said, "I intend to send you out into the world to gain experience. Continuing to stay in Spirit Hall will do you no good. While you are out training, you can go find your sister."

"Sister?" Ye Tianxing was surprised, though he secretly rejoiced. Old Master Qian Daoliu was finally willing to reveal news about Qian Renxue.

"Yes, my biological granddaughter—your sister. She is currently carrying out a special and important mission in Heaven Dou City. This will be your first time leaving Spirit Hall to train on the continent, so I will not arrange for anyone to accompany you, nor will there be any Titled Douluo elders to protect you."

Qian Daoliu looked at Ye Tianxing and smiled. "Do you have confidence?"

"Yes!" Ye Tianxing had been looking forward to this day for a long time. Even without the protection of a Titled Douluo, he could rely on the Angel Clan's soul bone skill—Camouflage—to keep other factions from discovering his true identity.

Six years ago, news that Ye Tianxing possessed Twin Martial Souls had caused a tremendous uproar across the Douluo Continent.

The previous possessor of Twin Martial Souls was Bibi Dong, the current Pope of Spirit Hall. Her status was exalted, and her strength was formidable.

The new possessor of Twin Martial Souls, Ye Tianxing, was also a member of Spirit Hall.

Twin Martial Souls, once something that appeared only once in a century, had now appeared twice.

For a time, an operation to search for Twin Martial Soul possessors hidden in the shadows swept across the Douluo Continent, secretly supported by the major sects.

Their primary purpose was investigation. The Douluo Continent was vast, and perhaps there were corners beyond Spirit Hall's notice, allowing a Twin Martial Soul possessor to remain undiscovered. But naturally, the outcome was disappointing. Not a single one was found.

"I have already sent word to Heaven Dou City. Your sister should have received it by now. If you encounter any problems you cannot resolve while outside, you may seek refuge with her." After saying this, Qian Daoliu informed him of the code phrase for contacting Qian Renxue's subordinates. Once he arrived in Heaven Dou City, someone would naturally take Ye Tianxing to Qian Renxue.

After leaving Spirit Hall, Ye Tianxing bid farewell to his teacher, Radiant Feather Douluo, then headed to the Pope's Palace to see the dear Pope.

Pushing open the heavy doors, Ye Tianxing stepped inside.

Within the vast, shadowy hall, Bibi Dong sat alone upon the cold throne, appearing especially lonely and desolate.

"Your Holiness the Pope." Ye Tianxing saluted.

"Have you finally thought things through and come to see me?" Bibi Dong raised her eyes, believing Ye Tianxing had come around.

Ye Tianxing revealed a meaningful smile. It's been six years. Why are you still hung up on that?

"I believe Qian Daoliu has already told you that beyond our world lies a place called the Divine Realm. A group of gods live there. They are beings beyond the mundane, defying all reason. Throughout this vast continent, there are many inheritances left behind by gods. Once one of them takes a liking to you, your Soul Power may break through level one hundred in the future, allowing you to attain godhood. At that time, no one on the Douluo Continent will be your match."

Ye Tianxing knew all this. He had heard Grandpa Qian Daoliu mention it before.

"With your talent, it is only a matter of time before some god takes notice of you..."

"Your Holiness the Pope, I already know all that, but that is not why I came here." Ye Tianxing hurriedly interrupted Bibi Dong.

Over the past six years, Bibi Dong had tried countless times to win Ye Tianxing over. Qian Daoliu did not care in the slightest; as far as he was concerned, it was enough that Ye Tianxing belonged to Spirit Hall.

Bibi Dong's expression remained indifferent as she gave an "Oh."

"What is it?" She returned to the cold, imposing demeanor of the Pope.

This was the Bibi Dong Ye Tianxing knew. Much better.

Ye Tianxing said, "I came to say goodbye."

"Goodbye?" Bibi Dong immediately understood. Qian Daoliu had finally arranged for Ye Tianxing to leave Spirit Hall and train. One could not grow while remaining in comfort; one had to endure the ravages of wind and rain to truly mature.

"If you're leaving, then leave. Why tell me? You refuse to work for me, yet you still care about such empty formalities?" Bibi Dong sneered.

"You are the Pope, and I am a disciple of Spirit Hall. Of course I must bid you farewell. This is my respect for you." After speaking, Ye Tianxing changed the subject. "Actually, before leaving Spirit Hall, I must first make a trip to Heaven Dou City to meet a sister I have never met. Grandpa told me about her."

"Her?" Bibi Dong's eyes deepened, and her aura surged. Soul Power as vast and turbulent as the sea flooded the entire Pope's Palace.

Standing where he was, Ye Tianxing felt a wave of pressure descend upon him.

Qian Renxue truly is Bibi Dong's sore spot. This mother and daughter pair seem like natural enemies, born to oppose each other.

So strong! I guessed right—Bibi Dong's strength is not the slightest bit inferior to Qian Daoliu's. She simply has not made a move because of Qian Renxue.

Ye Tianxing shook off the pressure. He had long grown accustomed to moving beneath the pressure of Titled Douluos.

Bibi Dong's attitude toward Qian Renxue was complicated. At times, she hated her enough to grit her teeth; at other times, when alone in some deserted corner, she would weep by herself.

"It seems Qian Daoliu told you everything." Bibi Dong withdrew her aura.

Ye Tianxing remained silent.

"That's right. That sister of yours is my daughter." After saying so, Bibi Dong carefully watched Ye Tianxing's expression. Seeing him so calm and composed, she realized he already knew all this and was not particularly surprised.

Bibi Dong was furious. Her relationship with her daughter had fallen to rock bottom, while Ye Tianxing, the second possessor of Twin Martial Souls, had also been taken under Qian Daoliu's wing.

Moreover, Bibi Dong had watched Ye Tianxing's performance over the years. He was undoubtedly a candidate for godhood, just like she had been.

If Qian Daoliu's side gained another god, the future balance of power would be unfavorable to Bibi Dong.

On second thought, Bibi Dong's lips curled upward. Smiling, she said, "Ye Tianxing, from now on, I will no longer ask you to choose a side."

"Hm?" Ye Tianxing froze. Had Bibi Dong finally let it go?

But Bibi Dong merely smiled mysteriously before asking, "Tell me, what do you call Qian Daoliu?"

"Grandpa?"

"Then his granddaughter—my daughter—shouldn't you call her sister?"

At that point, Ye Tianxing already sensed that something was terribly wrong.

He hurriedly turned to leave. Who acknowledges relatives like that?

A graceful figure flashed past him. Bibi Dong blocked Ye Tianxing's path, her slender jade-like hand pressed against the enormous door.

"Your Holiness the Pope, I do not wish to sell my dignity." For the first time, Ye Tianxing felt afraid. The old queen-like Bibi Dong had been much more comfortable to deal with; this Bibi Dong, wearing a gentle smile, was truly terrifying.

"Who asked you to sell it?" Bibi Dong said irritably. "Call me that once, and I'll let you leave."

"..."

Ye Tianxing did not want to say it as he watched Bibi Dong's beautiful face draw closer and closer...

Danger!
