Bibi Dong Arrives, Hostility Toward Ye Qingxian

After successfully refining the Soul Ascension Pill, Yun Yuan spent the following period constantly discussing the Dao of Alchemy with Ye Zhiyung, striving to make even greater progress in it.

What was different from the first three months was that Yun Yuan now exchanged ideas with Ye Zhiyung as a fellow practitioner, not as a student.

As time passed, Ye Zhiyung's level in the Dao of Alchemy gradually began to fall behind Yun Yuan's. At first, Ye Zhiyung could still rely on her own knowledge to discuss it with him.

But the further they went, the more Ye Zhiyung realized she was becoming increasingly unable to keep up. When discussing the Dao of Alchemy, she could no longer match Yun Yuan's pace.

This made Ye Zhiyung sigh inwardly. So this was the senior sister of a peerless genius. She, Ye Zhiyung, was also a genius in alchemy.

But in front of Yun Yuan, she felt as if she were mediocre. In just a few short months, she had been surpassed by the childish-looking Youngster before her. It sounded unbelievable, yet it was an ironclad fact.

Three months later.

It had been a full half year since Yun Yuan arrived at the Nine Heart Begonia Ye Family, and this was the first time he had left Spirit Hall for such a long time.

In these six months, his alchemy level had risen in a straight line. It could be said that aside from Immortal Grass, he, Yun Yuan, was confident he could refine all other medicinal herbs on Douluo Continent into Pills.

Aside from his improved alchemy level, two important people had also entered his life.

One was the teacher who taught him alchemy. Yun Yuan silently remembered the kindness of those three months in his heart. Once he grew stronger in the future, he would certainly support the Ye Family.

Although his study here this time was a transaction between Spirit Hall and the Ye Family, Ye Zhiyung had truly done her utmost in teaching him, without holding anything back in the slightest.

The other was his playmate over the past half year, Ye Qingxian. During this half year, he and Ye Qingxian had naturally become good friends.

Speaking of which, aside from the companions he had grown up with in the orphanage, Ye Qingxian was the first good friend he had made in this world.

As for Bibi Dong, that was different. Bibi Dong was his dear Senior Sister. In his heart, she was someone as important as Teacher Qian Xunji.

Ye Family Mansion, outside Yun Yuan's room.

"What? You said Teacher is coming to Heaven Dou City?"

Yun Yuan looked at Yue Guan, confusion showing on his face.

"Yes, Saint Son. That is indeed the case. Your Eminence the Pope seems to have important business to complete here."

"However, this subordinate does not know what Your Eminence the Pope needs to accomplish. After all, this was only conveyed by someone Your Eminence the Pope sent with a message."

Yue Guan spoke slowly.

Regarding Qian Xunji's visit to Heaven Dou City, he was just as puzzled as Yun Yuan. But as a qualified subordinate, he would not ask the reason.

"Mm, I understand."

"It looks like I can return to Spirit City with Teacher after some time."

After learning that Qian Xunji was coming to Heaven Dou City, Yun Yuan canceled his previous plan. Originally, he had intended to leave the Ye Family in the next day or two and return to Spirit City.

But since his teacher, Qian Xunji, had come, he planned to go back together with Teacher, and also see what Teacher needed to do.

Early the next morning.

Outside Yun Yuan's room, a burst of violent knocking rang out, instantly startling Yun Yuan awake from his sleep inside.

"Who is it?"

After waking up, Yun Yuan called out irritably, his words full of dissatisfaction. At the same time, doubt rose in his heart.

He was an honored guest of the Ye Family. In the past half year, aside from Ye Zhiyung and Ye Qingxian, no one had ever approached his room.

But the knocking this morning definitely was not the work of those two girls. Ye Zhiyung was gentle and intellectual; she would never do something like this.

As for Ye Qingxian, she was bright and lively, but she understood boundaries very well, so it certainly would not be her either.

Puzzled, Yun Yuan got up and walked to the door, then slowly opened it.

In an instant, a beautiful figure threw herself straight into his arms, her head rubbing wildly against his chest.

"Junior Brother, I missed you to death."

This beautiful figure was Yun Yuan's Senior Sister, Bibi Dong.

"Senior Sister, you're here."

"I missed you too."

Looking at the beautiful girl in his arms, Yun Yuan missed her deeply as well. If he had not needed to study alchemy, he would not have been separated from Senior Sister Bibi Dong for so long.

After the hug, Bibi Dong had too many things she wanted to pour out to Yun Yuan. Who knew how she had spent these past six months in Spirit Hall?

Days without Yun Yuan were truly unbearable for her.

The two sat beside the bed, and Bibi Dong immediately began chattering away, talking nonstop.

Over an hour later, a bright girl walked in from outside the door, holding a breakfast tray in her hands.

"Xiao Yuan, this is the nutritious meal Big Sister prepared for you this morning. It's a new flavor."

The bright girl was Ye Qingxian. Over the past half year, she had often prepared breakfast for Yun Yuan in the mornings, and today was no exception.

As soon as she entered, Ye Qingxian had not yet noticed the scene inside the room. Seeing that the door was open, she assumed Yun Yuan had already woken up.

But when she reacted, she saw that beside Yun Yuan was a childish-looking girl around the same age as him, with delicate and adorable features.

When Bibi Dong, who was sitting by the bed, saw this girl who had suddenly walked in, for some reason, her small hand immediately looped around Yun Yuan's arm. Her body kept leaning closer to Yun Yuan, as if seeking a sense of security and... demonstrating possession?

At the same time, the look she gave Ye Qingxian carried vigilance and a trace of hostility.

"Junior Brother, who is she?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes flicked over Yun Yuan, worry showing on her face as she asked in a slightly plaintive tone.

Why had a beautiful woman walked into her junior brother's room, even bringing Yun Yuan breakfast? Most importantly, this woman spoke to Yun Yuan in a very intimate tone. She did not like it.

Seeing that Bibi Dong seemed to be jealous, Yun Yuan only found it very strange. That should not be right. His Senior Sister should not understand anything about love and such.

Besides, he and Ye Qingxian shared nothing but pure friendship. He only treated Ye Qingxian as a good older sister and a good friend.

In truth, Yun Yuan's thinking was not wrong. Bibi Dong indeed did not know what love was at present, but she did know how important Yun Yuan was in her heart.

Deep inside, Bibi Dong only wanted Yun Yuan to have only her by his side forever, to only keep her company and play with her. So, toward all other women, Bibi Dong was especially resistant.

"Senior Sister, this is the good older sister I met in the Ye Family. Her name is Ye Qingxian. She's very kind. The two of us are very good friends."

"For the past half year, she's been my assistant in alchemy. On ordinary days, she also takes care of me a little."

Yun Yuan rubbed Bibi Dong's head, signaling for her not to overthink it.

But it would have been better if Yun Yuan had not said anything. The moment he did, Bibi Dong's heart grew even more wary. She had left Yun Yuan for half a year, and he had gained a good older sister. How could that not make her worry?

In front of Yun Yuan, when Ye Qingxian heard what Yun Yuan said, a delighted smile appeared on her face. Being acknowledged by Yun Yuan like this, for some reason, made her heart feel a little sweet.
