The Story of Bibi Dong

Ye Tian stared wide-eyed at the outside world, his gaze fixed on that hideous giant spider, unable to blink for a long time.

Death Spider Emperor.

He only knew of one person in this world who possessed this Martial Soul. That was the Pope of Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, who turned into a madwoman after being locked in a secret chamber by Qian Xunji.

However, his Dong'er was definitely not Bibi Dong.

Ye Tian remembered very clearly that in the original work, Bibi Dong was discovered by a Martial Soul Hall Spirit Master and went directly to Martial Soul City to cultivate.

Dong'er and Bibi Dong were absolutely not the same person.

Subconsciously, Ye Tian did not want to dwell on one thing: his arrival was a variable, and as for the inheritance of Martial Souls, unless one became a family, everyone's Martial Soul was unique.

Lord Mo left the orphanage in high spirits, and because Dong'er had been "frightened," Aunt Lan granted her special permission to rest today, exempting her from her studies.

Once only Dong'er remained in the dormitory, she called out to Ye Tian in a soft voice.

"Brother Ye Tian, when I just awakened, I felt something in my left hand as well."

Ye Tian looked at the Soul-Eater Spider Emperor in Dong'er's left hand, his brain itching as if something were about to sprout from it.

Heh.

Twin Martial Souls.

Death Spider Emperor, Soul-Eater Spider Emperor.

The little girl before him was actually, truly that Bibi Dong who would go insane after the age of eighteen.

No!

After calming down, Ye Tian caught a blind spot.

In his world, the news of Tang Hao smashing the then-Pope Qian Xunji into critical condition with a single hammer had spread like wildfire. Moreover, less than a year after Qian Xunji was severely injured, Bibi Dong had successfully ascended to the throne.

Furthermore, there were rumors circulating about the love story between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.

In other words, the Bibi Dong of his world was not the same person as the Dong'er before him. Was he currently on the Douluo Continent of a parallel world?

Ye Tian used this to question the system, only to receive a single response: "Please explore for yourself, Host."

The system's reaction confirmed Ye Tian's deduction.

This was indeed the Douluo Continent of a parallel world; otherwise, why would the flow of time here be so much faster than in his own world?

Since it was a parallel world, he could reveal a few things.

"Dong'er, you have awakened the one-in-a-million Twin Martial Souls. Remember, you must not grant a spirit ring to your second Martial Soul until you become a Titled Douluo."

"This secret must not be told to a third person, do you understand?"

"Mm-hmm. Brother Ye Tian, am I a genius?"

"Of course, Dong'er is the most amazing!"

Praised by Ye Tian, Dong'er let out a silver-bell-like laugh.

"Dong'er, today I will tell you a story about the Pope from my world."

Dong'er sat up straight immediately, looking as if she were listening intently.

"That Pope awakened Twin Martial Souls just like Dong'er, and was taken as a disciple by the previous Pope; one could say she grew up in a jar of honey."

"When she grew up, the Pope was a beauty who could sink fish and drop geese, charming all living things. However, this Pope did not know the sinister nature of the human heart. When she was eighteen, a man appeared and, with nothing but his tongue, made the Pope love-struck. She even planned to abandon her status as the next Pope to elope with him..."

"She's truly stupid." Dong'er judged the nameless Pope without reservation.

"Where do you think the Pope went wrong, Dong'er?"

"Her master cultivated her with all his heart for over ten years, yet she felt no gratitude, and instead grew to hate the master who tried to stop her from seeking 'true love'."

"And Brother Ye Tian, you said that man was a loser who could never break through level thirty in his cultivation, so it's obvious he had ulterior motives in approaching the Pope. That Pope couldn't even see through that."

"Everything Dong'er said is correct." Ye Tian patted Dong'er's head as a reward. "That Pope of ours was simply too well-protected and didn't know the sinister nature of the human heart."

"Brother Ye Tian, don't worry, I will absolutely never become that foolish Pope!"

"I believe in you, Dong'er."

Early the next morning, Lord Mo, who had only left yesterday, came knocking again. Behind him followed a man with somewhat delicate features.

Lord Mo looked at the man with great respect, his eyes still holding a trace of disbelief; he had not expected that this lord would be the one to come after he filed his report.

"Aunt Lan, Aunt Lan!"

"Please, call Dong'er over!"

Once Dong'er came out, Lord Mo immediately introduced the big shot beside him.

"Dong'er, this is Lord Yue Guan of Martial Soul Hall. This lord is an 80th-level Spirit Douluo powerhouse."

"Lord Yue Guan." Dong'er followed Lord Mo and bowed.

Yue Guan gently lifted the little girl up and said calmly, "Dong'er, is it? Extend your right hand; we shall test it once more."

When Dong'er placed her hand on the crystal, the scene from yesterday repeated itself.

Yue Guan watched the anomaly on the crystal ball, praising it repeatedly, his gaze toward Dong'er becoming much gentler.

"Dong'er, would you be willing to join Martial Soul Hall to pursue your studies?"

"By joining Martial Soul Hall, you will receive the finest resources and be nurtured by renowned masters."

"Across the entire Douluo Continent, the peak power of Martial Soul Hall is the strongest."

"I am willing!"

"Good, good, good!"

Securing a genius with Innate Full Soul Power for Martial Soul Hall put Yue Guan in an exceptionally good mood. Dong'er's recruitment would earn him a handsome reward, and given her talent, there might even come a day when they would fight side by side.

The bond formed today would be his insurance for the future.

"Xiao Mo, starting this month, the orphanage's funding will be increased by 200 Gold Soul Coin."

"Many thanks, Lord Yue Guan!" Aunt Lan expressed her gratitude with excitement, and even Dong'er's eyes sparkled with a hint of surprise.

"There is no time to lose; tomorrow, you shall move to Martial Soul City to begin your studies, Dong'er."

Noticing the reluctance in Dong'er's eyes, Yue Guan smiled and added, "The academy in Martial Soul City has two breaks every year. Whenever you miss home, you can come back to visit."

"Mm-hmm, thank you, Lord Yue Guan."

Aunt Lan took Dong'er back to their room to help her pack. Once everything was ready, Aunt Lan pulled out a coin purse and pressed it into Dong'er's hand.

"Aunt Lan, Lord Yue Guan said that I won't need to spend money at the academy." Dong'er tried to push it back, wanting to refuse.

"If you don't take it, Aunt Lan will be angry."

Aunt Lan put on a stern face, and after a brief standoff, Dong'er had no choice but to accept it.

A smile returned to Aunt Lan's face.

She hugged Dong'er, gently patting her back. "Silly child, there is no such thing as a place where you don't need money."

"Child, keep this money for emergencies. If it's not enough, write to Aunt Lan, and I will find a way."

"Thank you, Aunt Lan."

"There is no need for thanks between us. Just come back to visit Aunt Lan often when you grow up, and I will be happy."

"Mm-hmm." Dong'er looked at Aunt Lan and nodded heavily.

After Dong'er finished packing, Yue Guan led her toward the outskirts of the city.

"I am taking you to obtain your first soul ring." Facing Dong'er's confusion, Yue Guan took the initiative to explain.
