Dugu Yan: Brother Yifei Takes Me Flying

Since fate had already been written.

Since the road ahead was full of traps.

Since their enemy was a lofty God King.

Then...

[Bibi Dong: Li Yifei.]

Her consciousness appeared in the Group Chat once more, cold and clear.

[Bibi Dong: Thank you.]

[Bibi Dong: Thank you for letting me see all this clearly.]

[Bibi Dong: In return...]

[Bibi Dong: I will show you a play more spectacular than the one in your storybook.]

[Bibi Dong: A play... of godslaying.]

That declaration of godslaying was like a bomb detonating in the deep sea, its aftershocks still reverberating through the Group Chat.

Every young girl's mind was still gripped by Bibi Dong's resolute, frenzied will.

Then, amid the dead silence, Li Yifei's consciousness surfaced again.

There was no shock, no attempt to dissuade her, not even a judgment.

[Li Yifei: I can feel your resolve.]

[Li Yifei: If your will truly is this strong, then defeating the Rakshasa Demonic Thought is only a matter of time.]

[Li Yifei: After all, that thing is merely a rootless tree. It can always be worn away.]

Those few words were delivered casually, yet they were like an oracle that precisely cleaved through the deepest fog in Bibi Dong's heart.

The Rakshasa Demonic Thought—the nightmare that had tormented her for half her life, the fate she had accepted—was merely a "rootless tree" in this man's eyes?

Something that could be "worn away"?

Within Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's body, which had just gathered overwhelming killing intent, stiffened slightly.

For the first time, a glimmer called "hope" shone from her Phoenix Eyes, steeped in blood, tears, and madness.

Li Yifei did not continue focusing on Bibi Dong.

His consciousness turned to everyone in the Group Chat.

[Li Yifei: All right. We can talk about the future when it comes.]

[Li Yifei: Be more active and level up the Group Chat. There will be more rewards in the future—Soul Rings, Soul Power, and more.]

[Li Yifei: Don't think of gods as too distant.]

[Li Yifei: Ascending to godhood and becoming progenitors together isn't impossible.]

If the information before had been indiscriminate bombardment, then that final sentence was a precise detonation in the soul of every young girl in the Group Chat!

Together... ascend to godhood and become progenitors!

[World's Number One Princess: Become a god! Oh my god! Brother Yifei, this Group Chat can make people into gods too? Sign me up first! Me first!]

Ning Rongrong's consciousness was so excited that her voice nearly cracked.

The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the limitations of an auxiliary-type Soul Master—none of it was worth mentioning before the words "become a god"!

[A Little Goose: A script that can even overthrow a God King... Following Brother Yifei really does seem promising.]

Dugu Yan's heart pounded wildly. It was as if she could see a golden road leading to the summit of the world.

[Little Fox Demon: Teacher can definitely do it! Spirit Hall can definitely do it!]

Hu Liena's consciousness was filled with worship for her teacher and boundless longing for the future.

[Bunny Is So Cute: If I become a god... will I be able to protect the people I want to protect?]

Xiao Wu's consciousness surfaced weakly, carrying a trace of confusion, yet also an unignorable resolve.

Even Qian Renxue, who had been lurking the entire time—the mysterious question-mark avatar—showed intense fluctuations.

[???: Ascend to godhood... together?]

Her consciousness was brief and restrained, yet it revealed the ignited, irrepressible longing deep within her heart.

Her Angel God Trial might contain traps.

But this Group Chat, this mysterious Li Yifei, might be her only chance to escape those traps and attain true freedom!

Watching the fervent reactions in the Group Chat, Li Yifei closed the chat interface with satisfaction.

The Core Flame had been planted.

These young girls, who would one day be enough to stir up the entire Douluo Continent, had already been firmly bound to his chariot.

Early the next morning.

Li Yifei rose after finishing his cultivation and stretched lazily. The sunlight outside the valley cabin was just right.

"The girls need to work hard. I can't slack off either."

His next goal was clear: knowledge.

A vast amount of knowledge—enough to decipher the rules of the entire Douluo Continent.

And in the entire Heaven Dou Empire, the place with the deepest knowledge and richest collection of books was undoubtedly the library of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He opened the Group Chat again and found that green avatar.

[Li Yifei: Little Yanzi, are you there? I need a favor.]

Elsewhere, Dugu Yan was still swept up in the grand vision of becoming a god. When she suddenly saw Li Yifei's private message, her heart skipped a beat.

[A Little Goose: Here, here, here! Just say the word, Brother Yifei!]

[Li Yifei: I want to spend a few days reading at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy library. I need a letter of recommendation.]

[A Little Goose: That's nothing! Leave it to me! My grandfather is an honorary elder of the academy!]

Dugu Yan's reply carried the eager delight of someone seeking credit.

She immediately ran off to find her grandfather.

In Sunset Forest, Dugu Bo was tending to the Herb Garden when he saw his granddaughter's excited expression and felt utterly baffled.

"Grandpa! Give me a letter of recommendation for Heaven Dou Royal Academy, one with the highest level of authorization! A friend of mine needs it!"

Dugu Bo curled his lip. Of course he knew who this "friend" of his granddaughter's was.

Though he was deeply wary of the mysterious Li Yifei, he cherished his granddaughter even more.

He did not ask any questions. Before long, he had written a letter bearing the mark of Poison Douluo and handed it to Dugu Yan.

Half an hour later, Dugu Yan arrived outside the agreed-upon valley with the letter of recommendation and met Li Yifei.

"Brother Yifei, it's done!"

She handed him the letter as if presenting a treasure.

Li Yifei took it, gave it a glance, and put it away.

"Let's go. To Heaven Dou City."

He looked at the lavishly decorated carriage prepared by the Dugu Family not far away and shook his head slightly.

"Too slow."

"Huh?" Dugu Yan froze for a moment. "What else can we do? Heaven Dou City isn't close to here."

Li Yifei did not answer.

He simply stepped forward. Before Dugu Yan could react, he extended a powerful arm and pulled her slender waist into his embrace.

"Ah!"

Dugu Yan cried out. Her body instantly stiffened as a masculine scent completely enveloped her.

Her mind went blank.

"Stand steady."

Li Yifei's deep voice sounded beside her ear.

The next second, Dugu Yan felt the ground vanish beneath her feet as an immense force lifted her entire body into the air.

Wind howled past her ears, while the earth rapidly receded below!

She instinctively shut her eyes and clutched Li Yifei's lapels tightly, yet the anticipated sensation of fierce winds battering her face never came.

Carefully, she opened one eye.

They were speeding through the clouds. The mountains and rivers beneath them had all become tiny patches of color.

That utterly inconceivable experience left her completely dazed.

This... they were flying?

Without relying on any Martial Soul, he was simply holding someone as he flew through the air with his body alone?

"You..."

Her lips parted, but she could not utter a single word.

Li Yifei lowered his head to glance at her, a faint smile resting on his lips.

"This is faster."

He spoke as calmly as if he were discussing something utterly insignificant.

Dugu Yan stared at him blankly.

At his sharply defined profile beneath the shifting light and shadows among the clouds, at those deep eyes that seemed capable of devouring everything.

Her heart raced faster than their flight.

"Hold tight."

Li Yifei's voice sounded again.

"We're speeding up."

Before his words had even faded, an even stronger force pressed her against him. Their speed surged once more, and they became a streak of light shooting toward Heaven Dou City!
