The Clear Sky Twin Stars? Qian Yu: I Can Beat Anyone but Tang Chen! Gu Ying: Dong'er, Are You Still Calling Me Auntie?

The next morning.

After getting ready, the two left Spirit City and headed straight for Heaven Dou City, the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

To save time, they decided to fly directly through the air.

Qian Yu's thoughts stirred, but he did not summon his Second Martial Soul, the Blazing Angel.

"Dong'er, both of your Twin Martial Souls are Spider Emperors, and they lean toward dark and poison attributes.

The light and fire aura of the Blazing Angel is too fierce and overbearing. I'm afraid you might feel uncomfortable if you get too close to me."

Qian Yu explained softly, then black light surged around him.

Accompanied by a low dragon's roar, his First Martial Soul, the Dark Sacred Dragon, possessed him!

A pair of enormous black dragon wings unfurled behind Qian Yu.

They radiated an aura of utmost darkness, perfectly suited to Bibi Dong's Martial Soul attributes.

"You're always so thoughtful."

Bibi Dong felt warmth in her heart, and a sweet smile curved her lips.

Then Bibi Dong's thoughts stirred.

"Whoosh—"

With a faint whistle as they cut through the air, six purple wings, as thin as cicada wings, burst from her back.

They were the External Soul Bone she had unexpectedly obtained after killing the Purple Winged Spider Emperor when Qian Xunji had taken Bibi Dong to hunt for her Fifth Soul Ring.

The Six-Winged Purple Light Wings!

This Soul Bone not only came with an exceptionally rare flight skill, but could also continue to evolve as her strength increased.

"Let's go."

Qian Yu took Bibi Dong's hand.

Their wings beat, and they shot into the sky as a streak of black light and a streak of purple light.

With their current cultivation, their speed was terrifying when they flew at full tilt.

Before long,

a vast, bustling city appeared in their view.

"We're here."

Qian Yu slowed down and looked at the city ahead.

"Up ahead is Heaven Dou City. Let's land first and go to the Main Martial Soul Hall to see Mother."

The two folded away their wings in a secluded spot outside the city, then entered Heaven Dou City on foot.

The streets were crowded with carriages and people, and the city rang with clamor.

They had just passed two streets

when lively discussion drifted over from a roadside teahouse.

"Hey, have you heard?

The Soul Master World has recently produced two extraordinary geniuses!"

"You mean those two from the Clear Sky Sect?"

"Who else could I mean?

The Clear Sky Twin Stars!

The two brothers the Clear Sky Sect is so proud of, Tang Xiao and Tang Hao!"

"I heard the brothers only recently left the Clear Sky Sect to venture into the Soul Master World.

It hasn't even been that long, and they've already defeated several renowned experts!"

"Exactly!

That Clear Sky Hammer Martial Soul is incredibly domineering.

Those two have made quite a name for themselves in the Soul Master World. They're absolutely unstoppable!"

As he listened to the passersby's animated chatter, Qian Yu's thoughts stirred, and his steps slowed.

"The Clear Sky Twin Stars, Tang Xiao, Tang Hao..."

Bibi Dong murmured the two names, then turned to Qian Yu.

"I've seen them in Spirit Hall's intelligence files.

They really are the most outstanding figures of their generation in the Clear Sky Sect, with tremendous talent."

Qian Yu nodded slightly and smiled faintly.

"The twin stars the Clear Sky Sect is so proud of.

They've only just left their sect to gain experience, and they've already made such a splash in the Soul Master World.

They do have some ability."

Even so, his tone held not the slightest concern.

"But that's all there is to it."

Qian Yu gave a soft laugh and led Bibi Dong onward.

"Oh?"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes glimmered with curiosity as she looked at Qian Yu.

"You really don't take them seriously at all?"

"With my strength now,

there's no one in the entire Clear Sky Sect worth worrying about except for its leader, Tang Chen."

Qian Yu's expression remained calm, but his voice held absolute confidence.

"Even Tang Tian, Tang Hao and Tang Xiao's father—

the current young sect master of the Clear Sky Sect,

who only recently broke through to Titled Douluo—

wouldn't last long against me.

Never mind those two brash youngsters who haven't come into their own yet."

Hearing those audacious words,

Bibi Dong's eyes filled with admiration. She squeezed Qian Yu's hand and smiled.

"That goes without saying. My husband is the greatest genius under heaven. How could they compare?"

Qian Yu smiled and did not linger on the subject.

"Come on. The Main Martial Soul Hall is just ahead. Let's go see Mother."

Before long, they arrived at a magnificent, imposing building.

This was Spirit Hall's main branch in the Heaven Dou Empire.

As they approached the main entrance,

the two guards were about to step forward and ask their usual questions when Qian Yu casually displayed a token.

The moment the guards saw the design on it, their expressions changed. They dropped to one knee and bowed respectfully.

"We greet His Highness the Holy Son!

We greet Her Highness the Saintess!"

"Where is my mother?"

Qian Yu put away the token and asked calmly.

"Lady Gu Ying is handling affairs in the study on the top floor."

Qian Yu nodded, took Bibi Dong's hand, and walked straight into the hall, heading upstairs.

He pushed open the heavy redwood doors.

Behind a spacious desk, a beautiful woman in a platinum bishop's robe, with an elegant and noble bearing, was looking down as she reviewed documents.

Hearing the noise, the woman furrowed her brow and looked up.

As soon as she recognized them, the sternness in her eyes gave way to delighted surprise.

"Yu'er?!"

Gu Ying shot to her feet and hurried around the desk to greet them.

Qian Yu smiled and led Bibi Dong over.

"Mother, Dong'er and I came especially to visit you."

For once, Bibi Dong was a little nervous. Her pale palms were slightly sweaty as she bowed obediently.

"Dong'er... greets you, Mother."

Gu Ying gazed at the peerlessly beautiful and sweet-natured Bibi Dong.

Her eyes brimmed with delight, and she quickly took Bibi Dong's hand.

"Good girl, there's no need to be so formal."

Gu Ying looked Bibi Dong up and down, growing more pleased by the moment. She couldn't help smiling.

"I've long heard that Spirit Hall's Saintess is exceptionally talented and beautiful enough to topple kingdoms.

Now that I've seen you for myself, I know the stories were true.

It's that boy's good fortune to have married you, Yu'er."

Hearing Gu Ying's warm and affectionate praise, Bibi Dong finally relaxed completely. Her cheeks flushed.

"Mother, you flatter me. I'm the lucky one for being able to marry Brother Yu."

"Still calling me Mother-in-law?

It's time to change how you address me."

Gu Ying teased her with feigned displeasure.

Bibi Dong's face turned even redder, and she murmured so softly it was barely audible.

"...Mother."

"Ah! Good!"

Gu Ying answered happily and had them sit down. She said apologetically,

"You were married, but I was so busy with affairs that I couldn't make it back to officiate. I'm sorry you had to do without me.

But why did you come all the way to Heaven Dou City so soon after getting married, instead of resting in Spirit City?"

Qian Yu smiled and replied,

"We came to visit you, of course, and to take a little honeymoon while we're at it.

Besides, I have a few things to take care of here."

"Oh?

What could require you to come all the way here in person?"

Gu Ying asked in surprise.

A glint passed through Qian Yu's eyes as he spoke softly.

"The first thing is to find a place called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. There's something there that Dong'er needs.

As for the second..."

Qian Yu paused, then looked at Gu Ying with a smile.

"Mother, is Uncle Gu Rong, whom you mentioned in your letter, in Heaven Dou City right now?"
