Willing to Take a Risk

"However..."

The Grandmaster paused, then spoke again.

"The Giant Shark Beast's power is immense. If you intend to kill it and absorb its Soul Ring, you must be mentally prepared for injury; it is even highly likely that..."

"I am not afraid. However, I do not wish to die there like that. Therefore, within three days, I will find a way to cultivate to my ninth soul skill. I ask for your help, Grandmaster!"

"Rest assured, I will help you."

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong listened to the story of Tang Wutong and Huo Yuhao's relationship and could not help but sigh. "I truly didn't expect your journey to be so full of twists and turns. Huo Yuhao, you actually almost ended up with another woman?"

"A misunderstanding, it was a misunderstanding!"

Huo Yuhao's face carried a wry expression.

"I had been searching for Wutong, who had become Wang Dong'er, but I could never find her. I didn't expect a Wang Qiu'er to suddenly appear. At first, I was indeed confused, but I was very clear that my feelings for Wutong could never be replaced by anyone else."

"Enough."

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong laughed simultaneously.

"Why are you so nervous? It's not as if we don't know your heart. Rest easy; we understand that you truly love Wutong. From now on, as long as you two are happy, we will not interfere. Besides, you are a god yourself; what could our combined strength possibly do to you?"

"No."

Huo Yuhao spoke with ironclad certainty.

"If I ever hurt Wutong, I would rather die. I have said it before: Wutong is the woman of my life, and I will treat her alone with all my heart!"

"By comparison, I have become a piece of trash."

Yu Xiaogang smiled bitterly as he walked over with Lin Yi, sighing slightly.

"Your devotion is truly moving. Yet, I have not done well enough. Because my abilities were insufficient, I failed to protect Dong'er, and at the same time, I haven't made life comfortable enough for Erlong."

"Stop talking nonsense."

Bibi Dong and Liu Erlong moved closer to Yu Xiaogang, pulling on his arms from left and right.

"Without you by our side, how could we ever be happy? Xiaogang, there are many things in life that one cannot choose or change, but having you with us is the greatest happiness we could ask for, do you understand?"

Yu Xiaogang pulled them firmly into his embrace, his eyes slightly red and swollen.

"Having you both is also my greatest happiness."

"Ahem."

Lin Yi couldn't help but cough. "Although I know you are all living well, shouldn't we head back now? I defeated the King of Soul Beasts in such a high-profile manner; I fear those soul beasts might hunt me down along the way."

"So, you know that too."

Bibi Dong and the others laughed outright, their playful attitudes fading.

"Alright, we know your concerns. You don't need to be too anxious. The soul beasts here have self-awareness and won't stand against you. After all, you are the one who defeated Di Tian. Unless they have a death wish, they would never dare to come and stir up trouble again."

"That is true."

Lin Yi rubbed the back of his head and smiled indifferently.

"It seems I was overthinking it. However, what kind of opponent should I look for next?"

"I was once the inheritor of the Rakshasa God. If you don't mind, you can test yourself against me."

As soon as Bibi Dong said this, Lin Yi immediately turned his gaze toward the Grandmaster, Yu Xiaogang.

"Since Dong'er has said so, you should indeed give it a try. Although she has returned to being a level 99 Titled Douluo, it does not affect her capabilities in the slightest. So, don't think that just because you are the inheritor of the Dragon God you can win easily; Dong'er's power is still not to be underestimated."

"Stop praising me so much, Xiaogang."

Bibi Dong's face showed a hint of embarrassment as she coughed.

"I don't actually have that much power; it's just that Xiaogang always speaks of me so highly."

"Enough."

Liu Erlong patted Bibi Dong on the shoulder and hummed. "Why are you being so modest? I absolutely acknowledge your strength. Don't forget, you once blocked the power of the Golden Sacred Dragon with your own strength alone."

"Sister Erlong, the past is too painful to look back on; please don't bring it up."

A flash of disappointment crossed Bibi Dong's eyes as she sighed softly.

"Sometimes, I don't even know if I can truly suppress those painful memories. However, with the guidance of Sister Erlong and Xiaogang over these many days, I have slowly smoothed over the wounds in my heart."

"That's good then."

Liu Erlong couldn't help but smile.

"You, you just need to let go and be at ease!"

After a pause, they turned their gaze back to Lin Yi.

"Tell me, what do you plan to do?"

"Me? What is there to say?"

Lin Yi laughed heartily.

"I am determined to obtain a million-year Soul Ring, and I don't need anyone's help. To me, life and death are the best ways to transcend all limits."

"You are certainly an ambitious person."

Bibi Dong pursed her lips and smiled. "Since you are so confident, I will help you improve your strength as quickly as possible. There are too many innocent creatures here; let's find another place later."

"I know a place very suitable for your sparring!"

Huo Yuhao smiled calmly. "I am the God of Emotion. I can easily create a Sea of Consciousness, and then let you two cultivate there; that would be perfect. The benefit of fighting within a Sea of Consciousness is that it will not stop until the final bit of Soul Power is exhausted!"
