Bibi Dong Protects Her Husband

White World, Spirit Hall.

"Kid, why had you never mentioned something this important?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo stared wide-eyed at Yu Xiaogang.

This was something that could overturn everyone's understanding of Douluo Continent!

"Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Xiao Gang didn't even know what level of Innate Soul Power he should have awakened with."

"As the son of a Titled Douluo, Xiao Gang had already suffered enough by awakening with only level-one Innate Soul Power. And you were blaming him for not noticing something so minor?"

The moment Bibi Dong heard Golden Crocodile Douluo questioning Yu Xiaogang, she bristled.

Seeing that her husband's Innate Soul Power had awakened at only level one on the Heavenly Screen—

Especially seeing the disappointment on Yu Xiaogang's face back then—Bibi Dong's heart broke.

She hated that she had not been by her husband's side back then, leaving him to endure such pain alone.

She did not dare imagine the ridicule Yu Xiaogang, with only level-one Innate Soul Power, must have suffered.

Nor how much effort he had put in afterward to defy fate and change his destiny.

And now, not only did Golden Crocodile Douluo fail to comfort Xiao Gang, he even spoke to him in such a harsh tone?

Bibi Dong could not tolerate any of this.

"You... are you even still a member of Spirit Hall?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo was left somewhat flustered by Bibi Dong's retort and snapped back.

"Of course I am a member of Spirit Hall, but I am also Xiao Gang's wife. Is it wrong for me to care about my husband?"

Bibi Dong spoke with a resolute expression.

"You..."

Golden Crocodile Douluo wanted to say more, but at that moment, Qian Daoliu placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Enough, enough. These are all trivial matters. There is no point arguing. Now that we know, it is not too late."

Qian Daoliu glanced at Bibi Dong and shook his head at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

He could barely stand to watch. How had he failed to notice back then that Bibi Dong was the sort of person who lost her mind the moment love was involved?

With Qian Daoliu stopping them, Bibi Dong finally let it go. She still held great respect for him.

After shooting Golden Crocodile Douluo a glare, Bibi Dong walked over to Yu Xiaogang, took his hand, and spoke so gently that it was as if she had not been arguing with Golden Crocodile Douluo moments ago.

"Xiao Gang, are you all right?"

"If watching this makes you uncomfortable, then we do not have to watch."

Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Yu Xiaogang clasped both her hands in his.

"What is there to feel uncomfortable about? They are merely a few hardships from the past."

"Looking back at them now, all I feel is how swiftly time has passed."

Yu Xiaogang was not lying about that.

Since transmigrating to Douluo Continent, he had already lived here longer than he had ever lived on Earth.

Douluo Continent had become his home. Even if he were allowed to return to Earth now, he could no longer go back.

[The video continued...]

[It was still the place where Yu Yuanzhen often kept the still-dazed Yu Xiaogang company.]

[Having completed his Martial Soul Awakening, Yu Xiaogang summoned his Martial Soul.]

[A small beast resembling a Piglet lay across Yu Xiaogang's legs, its large eyes youthful yet lively.]

[For this Detached Martial Soul that existed independently and possessed thoughts of its own, Yu Xiaogang temporarily named it Little Dragon.]

[Although Little Dragon resembled a Piglet, Yu Xiaogang did not believe it was truly a pig.]

[His father possessed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul, and through him, Yu Xiaogang had learned that his late mother had possessed a dragon-type Martial Soul as well.]

[With parents like that, there was no reason for his Martial Soul to become a pig.]

[Combining the dazzling golden light and dragon roar that had appeared at the start of his Martial Soul Awakening, Yu Xiaogang could basically conclude that Little Dragon had to be a powerful dragon-type Martial Soul.]

[It was his own Innate Soul Power, which was only level one and perhaps not even that, that had restricted it.]

["A Detached Martial Soul unlike any before, with thoughts of your own. Yet someone as special as you ended up with an untalented person like me."]

[Yu Xiaogang stroked Little Dragon's head, his voice carrying a trace of emotion.]

["Roo roo."]

[Feeling very comfortable from the petting, Little Dragon rubbed its head against Yu Xiaogang's palm, as if it did not care in the slightest that Yu Xiaogang's talent prevented it from displaying its power.]

[Tap, tap, tap...]

[At that moment, footsteps sounded. Yu Xiaogang turned around and saw Yu Yuanzhen approaching with a worried expression.]

["Xiao Gang, are you... all right?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen spoke softly and cautiously.]

[He feared that his son would be upset over the awakening ceremony.]

["I'm fine, Father."]

[Shaking his head, Yu Xiaogang did not reveal any sadness.]

["It is you I am worried about. With my Martial Soul Awakening turning out like this, there will probably be another whole group of people using me to mock you in the future."]

[This was what Yu Xiaogang cared about most now.]

["Hahaha, what is there to worry about? Your father is a Titled Douluo. In all of Douluo Continent, only fellow Titled Douluo are qualified to laugh at me."]

["And how many such people are there on the entire continent?"]

["Besides, not many people who can cultivate to the rank of Titled Douluo are complete fools."]

["Not many would offend a Titled Douluo for no reason!"]

[Yu Yuanzhen smiled easily, as though things truly were exactly as he claimed.]

[But Yu Xiaogang was neither deaf nor blind. At the Martial Soul Awakening ceremony alone, he had seen quite a few people looking at him mockingly.]

[Those same looks would fall upon Yu Yuanzhen as well.]

[And that was within the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.]

[Once outside the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, such mockery would be countless times harsher.]

[Especially those who had grudges or deep hatred toward Yu Yuanzhen. They would laugh without restraint, then spread negative rumors throughout Douluo Continent.]

[Many times, a person's reputation was ruined in exactly this way.]

["Father, given my current situation, what level do you think will be my limit?"]

[Yu Xiaogang suddenly asked.]

["...Do you want to hear the truth?"]

[Yu Yuanzhen looked at his son, who had been muddle-headed for five years yet was exceptionally intelligent.]

[Though telling him this so early was somewhat cruel, he knew that even if he did not say it, Yu Xiaogang would learn through various means.]

["I do, and I want the worst-case scenario."]

[Yu Xiaogang's voice was exceptionally firm.]

[Only by knowing his worst possible outcome could he make plans accordingly.]

["The worst-case scenario... would be if both your First Soul Ring and Second Soul Ring went wrong, and neither was suitable for you."]

[Yu Yuanzhen's expression became much more solemn.]

["If that happens, level thirty may be the greatest hurdle of your life."]
