Telling Bibi Dong Journey to the West

Clap clap clap!!

Ghost Leopard clapped his hands and praised, "Not bad, not bad. I'd long heard that you achieved the impressive feat of a hundred consecutive victories at the Great Soul Arena. Seeing you today, your reputation is indeed well deserved."

"As expected of His Holiness the Pope's student. I admire you," Wang Bo said as well, cupping his hands in respect.

"Thank you for the praise, Teacher Ghost Leopard." Gu Han smiled modestly, then looked at Wang Bo. "Your strength is the greatest among all the Soul Elders I've encountered. I didn't dare gamble on what Soul Skills you might use next, so I could only go all out and leave you no time to unleash them."

In truth, that was a modest lie. Although Wang Bo was powerful, even if he had used his Soul Skills, Gu Han could still have defeated him with ease.

But since the other party had already taken the initiative to show goodwill, there was no need for him to put on an arrogant airs.

"Ah, a loss is a loss. Brother Gu Han, don't be modest. My Soul Power was higher than yours, yet I still lost to you. I'm convinced," Wang Bo said, waving his hand with easygoing grace.

"Alright, enough with the two of you humbling each other. Today's lesson is over. You're all free to do as you please now."

Gu Han and Wang Bo's match had been the final one.

By then, it was already afternoon, so Ghost Leopard Elder dismissed the class.

After exchanging a few more pleasantries with his classmates, Gu Han headed for the library.

"Junior Brother!!"

A somewhat lively voice called out. Gu Han looked up to see Bibi Dong squatting alone at the entrance of the library and waving at him.

"Senior Sister, why are you here?"

Gu Han waved back as well, then watched her rise and jog over to him before asking curiously.

"Hehe, Teacher said you like reading, so I guessed you'd come here after school."

Bibi Dong wore an expression that clearly said, Aren't I amazing?

Qian Xunji kept this Genius Bibi Dong extremely well hidden. He normally taught her personally and would never allow more information about her to leak out.

"Senior Sister, you're really amazing. Let's go in, then." Gu Han smiled faintly.

Because Bibi Dong had spent so much time alone, suddenly gaining a Junior Brother like Gu Han made her much livelier, as though she had found a new toy.

"Junior Brother, why do you like reading so much? Don't you find it boring?"

"Not at all. There's lots of interesting knowledge in books, and I've also read many fascinating stories."

"Stories? What stories?"

Bibi Dong tilted her little head, looking curious.

"Senior Sister, I'll tell you about them another day when we have time."

"Can't you tell me now?"

Bibi Dong shook Gu Han's arm, sounding somewhat coquettish. She often used this move on Teacher, and it never failed.

Gu Han thought about it. He did not seem to have anything particularly important to do at the moment, so he nodded.

"Alright, then. Let's find somewhere quieter."

"Great! Let's go to my place."

Bibi Dong made a V-sign in her heart, then grabbed Gu Han's hand and ran toward the Saintess Hall.

Gu Han found it somewhat amusing and let Bibi Dong pull him along.

The two arrived at the Back Garden of the Saintess Hall. Aside from Bibi Dong, even Qian Xunji would not enter without permission. Whenever he had business there, he would only send a female Spirit Master to summon her.

"Junior Brother, wait here for a moment."

Bibi Dong pressed Gu Han onto a Bench, then ran back to her room.

Before long, Bibi Dong came running back carrying a small stool. In one hand, she held a bag of Sunflower Seeds and a bag of Grapes.

Bibi Dong sat on the small stool and brushed her little hand over her Soul Tool. A small table appeared before them.

She placed the items on the table, then sat down with both hands propping herself up on it. Her large, bright eyes shone with excitement as she urged him on.

"Junior Brother, hurry up and tell it. I'm listening."

Bibi Dong's whole routine left Gu Han slightly stunned. Once he came back to his senses, he could not help but shake his head with an amused smile inwardly. His Senior Sister really knew how to enjoy herself.

"Alright, then I'll tell you the story of Sun Dasheng."

"Who is Sun Dasheng?"

"He's a fictional character. Just listen quietly, Senior Sister."

"Okay."

Bibi Dong nodded her little head, grabbed a handful of Sunflower Seeds, and began cracking them.

"Ahem." Gu Han cleared his throat and began. "It is said that on Dongsheng Divine Continent, there was a kingdom named Aolai Kingdom..."

Gu Han began with Sun Wukong bursting out of a stone and continued until he became Subhuti Ancestor's disciple. Along the way, Bibi Dong occasionally asked questions.

For example, she asked whether Sun Wukong was a Spirit Beast since he had burst out of a stone, and what an Immortal was.

Gu Han patiently explained every one of her questions.

Bibi Dong listened with rapt attention, her large, sparkling eyes shining brightly.

Gu Han glanced at the sky, which had gradually darkened, and let out a soft breath as he paused his vivid storytelling.

"Alright, Senior Sister, it's getting late. Let's stop here for today."

"Huh? That's it?"

Bibi Dong felt like a reader eagerly following a serial novel, only for the author to cut off the chapter right at the crucial moment.

Gu Han nodded. "Yes, that's all for today. It's getting late, and I should head back too."

"But I still want to know what Sun Wukong will learn from Bodhi Founder!"

Bibi Dong's little face was full of reluctance. They had reached such a critical moment—how could he just stop now?

Seeing her adorable expression, the corner of Gu Han's mouth curled up unconsciously. "If Senior Sister wants to hear it, Junior Brother will continue the story tomorrow."

"Mm..."

Seeing that her first move had failed, Bibi Dong's eyes spun as she thought.

Then, she puffed out her cheeks, shook her head angrily, grabbed Gu Han, and pressed him back onto the stool. With her little hands on her hips, she declared—

"No! If you don't finish this part today, Junior Brother, don't even think about leaving!"

Gu Han found it rather amusing as he watched her glare at him with puffed-up cheeks.

"Uh... alright, then I'll finish telling the part about Bodhi Founder teaching Sun Wukong immortal arts."

"Hehe, I knew Junior Brother was the best."

Like a Sichuan opera face change, Bibi Dong's angry little face instantly transformed into a dazzling smile.

Gu Han shook his head. Though he knew this was all one of Bibi Dong's little tricks, she was simply too adorable!!!

With no other choice, Gu Han told her about Bodhi Founder imparting the Seventy-Two Transformations and Somersault Cloud to Sun Wukong.

"Oh, so hitting his head three times meant that Sun Wukong was supposed to go find Bodhi Founder in the middle of the night! He's so clever—I never would've figured that out."

"But if I were Sun Wukong, I'd definitely want both the Seventy-Two Transformations and the Thirty-Six Transformations! Wouldn't that make a total of one hundred and eight transformations?"

"One somersault covers a hundred and eight thousand li? Wouldn't that mean he could fly from one side of Douluo Continent to the other in an instant?"

As Bibi Dong listened eagerly to Gu Han's story, she also kept offering her own comments, imagining what she would do if she were Sun Wukong.

Once that short section of the story was over, Bibi Dong finally revealed a satisfied smile, and only then was Gu Han able to leave.

"Junior Brother, don't forget to continue tomorrow~"

Standing at the entrance of Saintess Hall, Bibi Dong waved at Gu Han's retreating back.

Gu Han waved back, indicating that he understood.
