Bibi Dong: I've Heard Many Rumors About the Upper Three Sects

Yu Yuanzhen naturally could not reveal everything about his son Yu Xiaogang's strengths.

After all, this involved Whale Rubber. If Spirit Hall found out, he would no longer be able to buy it.

Although the various powers across Douluo Continent were fairly harmonious at present, competition still existed between them.

For example, the Upper Three Sects had good relations and joined forces to form a balance against Spirit Hall.

But no one could guarantee that this balance would last forever, so it was crucial to keep some trump cards in reserve.

While the three Title Douluo were talking, Bibi Dong walked over to Yu Xiaogang.

"Thank you for earlier."

Bibi Dong thanked Yu Xiaogang with a grateful expression.

If Yu Xiaogang had not helped block that Wind Baboon that had suddenly appeared, she might have died at its hands.

For a disciple of the Pope of Spirit Hall to die at the hands of a ten-year Wind Baboon would have been a complete joke.

"It was nothing. Besides, Dragon Scale Title Douluo and the others must have been keeping an eye on this place."

"Even without me, they could have saved you."

Yu Xiaogang spoke calmly.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Bibi Dong, and I am the disciple of the current Pope of Spirit Hall."

"Are you and Thunder Douluo here to obtain a Spirit Ring as well? Which Spirit Ring is it?"

After thanking him and introducing herself, Bibi Dong asked curiously.

"My name is Yu Xiaogang. I'm here to obtain my first Spirit Ring."

Yu Xiaogang raised an eyebrow as he glanced at Bibi Dong.

A disciple of the Pope of Spirit Hall, guarded by two Title Douluo whenever she went out.

Even before the Pope of Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong's status must be anything but ordinary.

Then again, someone around my age already obtaining her Second Spirit Ring—how could she be ordinary?

With a self-mocking smile, Yu Xiaogang rallied himself.

So what if he was behind for now? It was still too early to say what the future would hold.

"Your first Spirit Ring? Is your Martial Soul also a Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon? I heard that the Martial Soul of your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world. I wonder how my Martial Soul compares with your clan's."

"Also, I heard that the reason your sect's Martial Soul is the number one Beast Martial Soul in the world is because you often slaughter Soul Beasts, drink their blood, and eat their meat raw. Is that true?"

"If it is, then since I also have a Beast Martial Soul, do I need to do that too?"

As if she had opened the floodgates, Bibi Dong stared at Yu Xiaogang with bright eyes and eagerly pressed him for answers.

When she asked whether they slaughtered Soul Beasts, drank blood, and ate raw meat, Bibi Dong even unconsciously glanced at Yu Xiaogang's lips, as though checking whether he had done such things.

By the time she mentioned having to do it herself, her pretty little face had completely scrunched up.

Yu Xiaogang's face darkened at Bibi Dong's words.

"Where did you hear such a ridiculous rumor? Drinking blood and eating raw meat? Please, even if we ate Soul Beast meat, we would cook it first."

"Only people with some kind of strange fetish could eat raw meat, right?"

Yu Xiaogang said with a frown.

Especially when he thought about eating Soul Beast meat raw... ugh.

Yu Xiaogang knew that some people enjoyed eating that way, but he certainly could not.

"No? Are you sure?"

"I'm sure beyond all doubt. Listen to fewer rumors in the future. A lot of things simply aren't trustworthy."

"But lots of people say so. For example, they say everyone from the Clear Sky Sect is a group of unkempt, bearded brutes who reek of sweat."

"They say everyone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect looks shifty-eyed and spends all day plotting this and scheming that."

"..."

"And, and, they say that besides drinking blood and eating raw meat, people from your Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan like to use Martial Soul Possession, smear Soul Beast droppings all over themselves, pretend to be Soul Beasts, and live like Soul Beasts."

"..."

"A few days ago, I even heard rumors going around that some Soul Masters from the Upper Three Sects want to marry Soul Beasts."

"...Six."

Yu Xiaogang stared dumbfounded as Bibi Dong rattled off rumors about the Upper Three Sects as though reciting treasured facts.

He had never dealt with the Clear Sky Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so he would not comment on them.

But he had lived in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan all these years. How had he never known that members of his own clan had such peculiar tastes?

Smearing Soul Beast droppings on themselves, pretending to be Soul Beasts, and living like Soul Beasts?

Good grief, were the people spreading these rumors really not afraid of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan coming after them?

As for marrying Soul Beasts, that was even more outrageous. It went against human ethics. What sect on the continent could possibly accept such a thing?

Of course, what Yu Xiaogang found even harder to understand was how Bibi Dong knew so many rumors.

Girl, you're the disciple of the Pope of Spirit Hall. It was one thing for such nonsense to reach your ears, but how could you actually believe it?

Couldn't you just ask your Pope teacher and verify these things?

"You believe rumors that absurd?"

With so many complaints that he did not know where to begin, Yu Xiaogang could only ask with a slightly twisted expression.

"But the people on the streets all said it so confidently. They even said that if the information was fake, they would write their names backward."

"They swore it, so it couldn't possibly be false, right?"

Bibi Dong asked seriously.

Slap!

Yu Xiaogang slapped a hand over his face, momentarily speechless.

Wasn't that just people casually spouting nonsense in the streets? Someone actually believed it? Just how innocent were you?

"That information is all fake... no, I can't verify the information about the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but every bit of information about our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is false."

"We don't drink blood, eat raw meat, or like smearing Soul Beast droppings on ourselves and living with Soul Beasts."

"And we absolutely have no intention of marrying Soul Beasts!"

"This is all slander against our Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

Yu Xiaogang spoke with utmost seriousness, emphasizing every word.

As if to make Bibi Dong believe him, Yu Xiaogang deliberately took out some snacks he carried with him from his Storage Soul Tool.

"Look, this is what we usually eat. It's not raw meat or anything, right?"

Holding the snacks out before Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang wanted her to see clearly.

However, what Yu Xiaogang had not expected was that Bibi Dong took one look at the snacks in his hand and simply reached out to grab a handful.

She picked up a piece, put it in her mouth, and after chewing twice, her eyes lit up.

"Delicious!"

As soon as the words fell, Bibi Dong grabbed the edge of the snack bag and took all the snacks away.

Then, under Yu Xiaogang's stunned gaze, she thanked him.

"Thank you for treating me to snacks. When you come to Spirit City someday, I'll treat you to something delicious too."
