The sky gradually darkened.
Two hours had passed since Bibi Dong began cultivating. She found this state of cultivation somewhat addictive; even when it was time to eat, she did not want to leave her meditation. She did not want to waste any time.
Once Spirit Masters entered meditative cultivation, they usually continued without pause, especially cultivation fanatics like Bibi Dong.
During that time, Yue Guan brought food, but Bibi Dong never awoke from her cultivation.
Yue Guan was already accustomed to it and did not disturb her.
Ye Qifeng showed no intention of waking up either.
The night quickly passed.
Morning.
Sunlight streamed in through the carriage windows.
Though it did not penetrate the curtains, it immediately made the interior much brighter.
Ye Qifeng slowly woke from his sleep.
He opened his bleary eyes and rubbed them instinctively, only to discover that Bibi Dong was holding him in her arms.
And Bibi Dong was cultivating.
Ye Qifeng looked up. At that moment, a faint purple mist lingered around Bibi Dong's body, condensed without dispersing, giving off an illusory feeling.
Under the light filtering through the carriage window, she appeared incomparably noble and sacred, making one unable to resist the urge to worship her.
Before long.
Bibi Dong finally awoke from her meditation.
Her rosy lips parted slightly as she exhaled a breath of stale air.
"This feeling of cultivation is wonderful."
Bibi Dong sighed, still wanting more.
Just as she was about to stretch, she suddenly realized that her hands felt rather heavy.
She had nearly forgotten that she was still holding a little fellow.
Bibi Dong lowered her pale violet eyes toward her arms.
She discovered that the little fellow had somehow already awakened. He was staring at her without blinking, his dark eyes filled with curiosity.
"Little fellow, when did you wake up? You're so well-behaved, not making any fuss at all."
Bibi Dong had never seen such a well-behaved child, and she reached out to pinch his cheek again.
"I'm hungry."
Ye Qifeng did not resist this time. He let her do as she pleased and merely babbled a sentence.
However, he knew Bibi Dong could not understand his baby talk.
So, beneath Bibi Dong's beautiful gaze, he patted his stomach with both hands to signal her.
"Are you hungry?"
Bibi Dong froze at the sight, but did not think much of it. Guessing his meaning, she said, "Then let's go eat. I'm hungry too."
Several days later.
The Spirit Hall convoy carrying Ye Qifeng had already traveled several hundred kilometers from Wuye City.
Inside the carriage.
Bibi Dong sat cross-legged, still holding the infant Ye Qifeng in her arms, immersed in cultivation.
Purple Soul Power swirled around her body. It was no longer the faint mist it had been before, but incredibly condensed, its color much deeper as well.
At times, this Soul Power danced around her body; at others, it gathered above her head into flowers. Even the aura around the carriage began to shift unpredictably.
Yue Guan, driving the carriage at the front, also sensed the changes in the surrounding Soul Power.
Suddenly, Yue Guan's expression changed drastically.
"Damn—it's breaking through at a time like this?"
He had long since entered the realm of Title Douluo, so he naturally recognized the sign of an imminent breakthrough.
"Stop! Stay on guard!"
Yue Guan halted the carriage and simultaneously transmitted his voice through Soul Power to the convoy, solemnly issuing instructions, afraid that they might disturb the Holy Maiden's breakthrough.
Then he drifted away from the carriage and landed atop a massive boulder by the roadside. Standing high above, his peach-blossom eyes swept sharply over the surroundings as he kept watch in every direction, gathering his Soul Power in preparation for any attack.
When the others in the convoy saw Elder Ju suddenly acting as though facing a great enemy, they assumed enemies had arrived. They drew their weapons and occupied advantageous positions, vigilantly watching their surroundings.
When one broke through to Title Douluo, the commotion was often considerable, and being disturbed was especially taboo.
Those attempting to break through usually either asked someone to stand guard or found a quiet place unknown to others and made their breakthrough in secret.
When Yue Guan broke through to Title Douluo, he had done so under the protection of Spirit Hall elders.
This was the first time he had seen someone like Holy Maiden Bibi Dong break through while traveling.
Fortunately, this was a sparsely populated area.
If she had broken through near a place occupied by a major force, it would have been extremely dangerous. Something might easily have gone wrong.
Inside the carriage.
Bibi Dong's eyes were tightly shut as her body slowly rose from the seat.
The Soul Power around her grew ever more condensed, and vast purple Soul Power swept forth against the wind.
The air around the carriage accelerated, forming Gale Wind, while clouds began to gather in the sky above it.
In an instant, dark clouds shrouded the carriage.
"What is happening?"
Seeing strange phenomena arise all around them, the Law Enforcement Team members responsible for guarding the area grew even more serious and tense.
The Law Enforcement Team enforced strict discipline and obeyed orders without question, so no one actually spoke. They merely asked themselves in silence and gripped their weapons tighter.
Though afraid, they did not retreat in the slightest and continued faithfully carrying out their duties.
Ye Qifeng was also startled awake. He watched the changes around him in amazement, unable to understand what was happening.
"What is this..." After a moment, Ye Qifeng realized that Bibi Dong had caused the changes and made a guess. She's breaking through? Does it have to make such a huge commotion?
"Break—!"
At that moment, Bibi Dong's eyes snapped open, and she gave a sharp cry.
The Soul Power around her body turned into purple streams of light and shot into the sky, directly blowing the carriage roof away.
With a boom, the roof landed not far beside the carriage, kicking up clouds of dust.
Seeing the dust threatening to spread toward the carriage, Yue Guan waved a hand and dispersed it.
Inside the carriage.
An aura belonging to a Title Douluo faintly emanated from Bibi Dong.
She had successfully advanced to the realm of a Title Douluo, Rank 90.
As long as she obtained one more Spirit Ring, she would become a true Title Douluo.
Once her Soul Power gradually stabilized, Bibi Dong slowly descended onto the seat.
"I broke through! I successfully advanced to Title Douluo!"
Bibi Dong was beside herself with joy. Holding Ye Qifeng, she sprang to her feet.
Her gaze fell upon Ye Qifeng, her face brimming with smiles. Unable to resist, she planted a fierce kiss on the little fellow's cheek. "Little fellow, it's all thanks to you!"
"Ah, this—!"
Ye Qifeng did not notice the meaning hidden in Bibi Dong's words. The fragrant kiss had come too suddenly, making his heartbeat skip a beat.
Although Ye Qifeng was an infant, his soul belonged to an adult.
Hey, hey, I'm telling you, if you kiss me, you have to take responsibility.
Ye Qifeng widened his eyes and babbled.
"Holy Maiden, did your breakthrough succeed?"
When Yue Guan saw the strange phenomena around them dissipate, he hurried impatiently to the carriage.
"Yes! I got lucky!"
Yue Guan's question from outside the carriage calmed Bibi Dong down.
Holding the infant Ye Qifeng, she stepped out of the carriage. Though she did not give Yue Guan a particularly pleasant look, her tone was much better than before and no longer as cold.
"Congratulations, Holy Maiden, on successfully advancing to Title Douluo!"
Knowing that the Holy Maiden had successfully advanced, Yue Guan bowed and loudly offered his congratulations.
The Holy Maiden is only thirty-five, yet she has already become a Title Douluo—and a Title Douluo with Twin Martial Souls at that. This talent... is truly terrifying. Her future is limitless. I absolutely cannot offend her in the future.
Yue Guan thought to himself.
Hearing this, the Law Enforcement Team members on guard finally understood that the strange phenomena earlier had been caused by the Holy Maiden advancing to Title Douluo.
"Congratulations, Holy Maiden, on successfully advancing to Title Douluo!"
After their shock passed, they all dropped to their knees and offered thunderous congratulations.
To witness the moment when the Holy Maiden achieved Title Douluo with their own eyes was truly an immense honor.
For a moment, the Law Enforcement Team members felt deeply honored and overjoyed, each of them acting as though they themselves had advanced.
"Rise."
Maintaining the dignity of the Holy Maiden, Bibi Dong said to all the Law Enforcement Team members, "In recognition of your meritorious service in guarding me, every member will receive a reward. Elder Ju, please record each member's information and submit it together later to apply for the rewards."
"Thank you, Holy Maiden!"
The Law Enforcement Team members' eyes shone as they loudly expressed their gratitude.
