A Wonderful Day Comes to an End

Bibi Dong admitted that when she first processed Meng Xuanji's words, she really had the urge to slap him to death on the spot.

But when Bibi Dong saw Meng Xuanji's young, tender face, she could not help thinking of his miserable background.

Even Bibi Dong, who still retained some humanity, had to hesitate before acting against a six-year-old child. That moment of hesitation was Meng Xuanji's best opening.

"Of course it's true. Sister, would you be willing to take me as your little brother? I really want to have family by my side. I-I'll always be Sister's little brother."

As he spoke, Meng Xuanji slowly moved closer to Bibi Dong and placed his fair, tender face in her palm.

"Sister, you like Xuanji too, right? You'll protect Xuanji, won't you?"

Looking at Meng Xuanji's soft, adorable expression, the maternal love buried deep within Bibi Dong's heart seemed to be completely awakened.

Qian Daoliu had taken Qian Renxue away at an early age, so Bibi Dong had never shown motherly affection to a child. Seeing Meng Xuanji today inevitably made her think of her own daughter.

The child she had with that scum.

"Alright, then Sister will take you as her little brother." Bibi Dong looked at Meng Xuanji with loving eyes.

She had decided. She would raise this child.

She would treat it as cultivating a fiercely loyal subordinate for her grand ambitions, while also filling the void of maternal love deep within her heart.

Meng Xuanji had no connection whatsoever to Qian Xunji. In that regard, he possessed a natural advantage over Qian Renxue, enough to let him take all of Bibi Dong's love for himself.

As Bibi Dong gently drew Meng Xuanji into her arms, he inhaled her refreshing milky scent, and the stone hanging over his heart finally fell.

At last, he had won.

Naturally, Meng Xuanji could not be content with being Bibi Dong's student for the rest of his life. He harbored far greater ambitions.

If he became her student, Meng Xuanji would only ever be Bibi Dong's plaything, perhaps even her lapdog. Only by becoming family on a more intimate level would he truly have a chance to enter Bibi Dong's heart.

And to cross that threshold, he had to make some moves that crossed the line. Fortunately, Meng Xuanji had succeeded.

As long as he had Bibi Dong, it would be equivalent to possessing half of Spirit Hall. If he could also win over Qian Renxue, then he would become the sole true ruler of the continent's greatest power.

Then his grand undertaking of "protecting" the continent would not be far away.

He had already successfully taken the first step in winning over Bibi Dong. The rest would be much simpler.

"Xuanji, since Sister is your only family, can you show Sister your Twin Martial Souls?"

Bibi Dong swiftly settled into her role, lovingly stroking Meng Xuanji's silky hair.

"Mm, Xuanji will listen to everything Sister says."

Meng Xuanji spread open his palm, and a black scroll slowly emerged. Unlike the Dark Blue Silver Emperor, this martial soul's aura was exceptionally restrained. Although Bibi Dong could sense the baleful Soul Power within it, not a trace of evil energy leaked out.

If the Dark Blue Silver Emperor was a general on the battlefield, skilled in conquest and radiating sharpness, then this scroll was a top strategist who sat firmly at the center of command, devised plans from within, and secured victory from a thousand miles away.

Compared with the Dark Blue Silver Emperor that displayed its edge, this scroll seemed to better suit Meng Xuanji's style.

"What's written on it? Can little brother open it and take a look?"

Under Bibi Dong's guidance, Meng Xuanji opened the scroll, only to see a blank sheet of paper.

Meng Xuanji also examined the scroll in surprise, even considering whether there might be tiny writing hidden in its corners. But unfortunately, it truly was a blank scroll.

"Huh? There's really nothing on it?" Meng Xuanji asked in confusion.

"Can you let Sister take a look?"

"Of course."

Bibi Dong took the scroll. Just as she was about to inject Soul Power into it and examine it closely, she suddenly let out a sharp breath.

"Hiss—"

The unusually tough paper of the scroll had cut Bibi Dong's finger, and three drops of blood fell onto its surface in succession.

"Sister, are you alright?"

Meng Xuanji was startled and hurriedly blew on Bibi Dong's finger.

"I heard adults say that if you blow on a cut finger, it won't hurt anymore. Sister, do you feel better now?"

Meng Xuanji's innocent, dazed appearance carried a touch of foolishness, and the warm scene could not help making Bibi Dong laugh.

"Hehe, Sister feels much better now. Thank you, little brother Xuanji. Such a good boy."

Bibi Dong could not resist planting a loud kiss on Meng Xuanji's fair, tender cheek.

The child's soft, springy cheek left Bibi Dong thoroughly satisfied, to the point that she did not notice the bloodstains on the scroll quietly disappearing.

Meng Xuanji's head felt dizzy after receiving Bibi Dong's fragrant kiss. Being held and doted on by such a mature, beautiful woman was truly a blessing not just anyone could withstand.

"Perhaps your scroll is blank because you haven't obtained your first soul ring yet. Cases where a martial soul remains dormant due to the lack of a soul ring are not uncommon, so there's no need to worry."

Bibi Dong gently pinched Meng Xuanji's cheek.

"Don't forget, you still have the Dark Blue Silver Emperor as your trump card. Even without Twin Martial Souls, Sister believes you'll definitely grow into a famous Titled Douluo."

"Uh, uh, Sister, my cheek... it hurts."

Just as Meng Xuanji and Bibi Dong were playfully fooling around, a messenger's report suddenly sounded from outside the hall.

"Reporting to the Pope, Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo request your presence at Elder Hall."

Seeing that official business had arrived, Bibi Dong returned to her queenly demeanor and gently set Meng Xuanji down.

"Alright, I understand. Inform the two elders that I will head over immediately."

"Yes."

The messenger outside the hall quickly departed.

"Then Sister has work to do. Little one, go back by yourself and play for now. Remember to watch out for your safety on the way."

Bibi Dong gave Meng Xuanji one last gentle kiss on the forehead. After fully experiencing the role of a mother, she left the hall in a flash, her face glowing with delight.

During that hour of conversation, Bibi Dong felt happier than she had at any other time in the past. It had been nearly ten years since she had experienced such warmth and affection.

The feeling of having family by her side was something Qian Xunji, Qian Renxue, and even that blockhead Yu Xiaogang could never give her.

Precisely because it was so rare, it seemed all the more precious in Bibi Dong's heart.

"Looks like she really left."

Meng Xuanji looked at the sky. It was already dusk, and after all Bibi Dong's fussing, he was truly exhausted after spending the entire day waiting in the Awakening Hall.

"Forget it. I won't go to the library today. I'll head back to my little nest and rest first."

Meng Xuanji stretched lazily.

As the saying went, no golden nest or silver nest compared to one's own doghouse. Meng Xuanji could finally let down all his guard and return to his room for a good sleep.

"A wonderful day has finally come to an end! Mm! Feels great!"
