Bibi Dong's Lips Were So Sweet, I Think I've Fallen for an Auspicious Beast

The system's prompt sounded in Ye Tian's mind, letting him feel Bibi Dong's emotions keenly and know what she needed most.

Bibi Dong felt an invisible force surge through her body, taking on some of her negative emotions. Even her Soul Power began circulating on its own, and her cultivation speed increased severalfold.

What was going on?

Why had she changed like this? Could it have something to do with Ye Tian?

"Little Tiantian, what's happening to me?"

"Why is my Soul Power rising on its own? My cultivation speed has increased severalfold too."

Bibi Dong looked down at Ye Tian in her arms, puzzled, having completely forgotten how carried away she had gotten just now.

"Dong'er, I don't know either. Maybe we've spent so much time together that the fortune I carry as an Auspicious Beast has merged with yours."

"That would explain why your cultivation speed has changed so much. I am an Elder Auspicious Beast Qilin, after all."

"Dong'er, are you feeling better now? We should hurry back."

"Only after Li Ya gives birth to Qian Renxue will Qian Xunji ease his restrictions on you."

Of course, Ye Tian could not tell Bibi Dong about the system, so he could only find a plausible explanation.

"So that's it."

"Bringing you home was the greatest decision I've ever made."

When Bibi Dong heard no answering thought, she knew Ye Tian had not lied to her. Delighted, she gave him a kiss.

Ah, Dong'er's lips were so sweet.

Too bad I'm still in my Auspicious Beast form. If only I could turn human.

I think Auspicious Beasts can take human form once they reach ten thousand years of cultivation, just like Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts.

But I don't want to become human yet. I'd lose the potential of an Auspicious Beast Qilin and be left as a fairly talented Soul Master. That wouldn't help me grow.

If only I could switch freely to a human form like a Ferocious Beast. Then dating Dong'er would be much easier.

Listening to his thoughts, Bibi Dong's face flushed, and her heart began to pound.

Good heavens!

Ye Tian really wanted to date her.

Why did that make her heart flutter a little?

What do I do? I think I've fallen for an Auspicious Beast.

Heh, Dong'er's figure is gorgeous. I just love these two big fish.

If only I could see them in full. Having them half-hidden right in front of me is enough to set me on fire.

Ye Tian gazed at the two big fish peeking halfway above the water and could not resist reaching out a little paw to pat them.

Hearing his thoughts and feeling his paw, Bibi Dong blushed even harder.

"Little Tiantian, you're getting bolder and bolder. Keep this up and I'll never speak to you again."

Bibi Dong scolded him softly and hurriedly put on her coat.

"Dong'er, why are you being mean to me?"

"I'm still little. I was just curious. You have to understand."

Seeing that Bibi Dong disliked it, Ye Tian could only put on a hurt expression.

The sight of him looking so adorable and aggrieved melted Bibi Dong's heart at once.

If she had not been able to hear his thoughts and know what was on his mind, she would have fallen for it long ago.

But she could not reveal that, so she pretended to take pity on him.

"Little Tiantian, I was wrong. Don't be angry."

"You said I won't be safe until Qian Renxue is born."

"Are you really so sure Li Ya will get pregnant? And that the child will be a girl?"

Bibi Dong held him in her arms and changed the subject.

From what she knew, the higher a Soul Master's cultivation, the lower the chance of having children.

That was especially true of Titled Douluo. Their life force was drawn so deeply inward that their fertility was reduced to almost nothing.

Qian Xunji was a Titled Douluo. The odds of conceiving a child from a single encounter were practically zero.

"She will, Dong'er. I'm an Elder Auspicious Beast Qilin. Anything I set my mind on will be blessed with good fortune. Trust me."

Ye Tian thumped his chest and gave her his word.

Come on, Qian Renxue is an important character in the original story and essential to everything that happens later. Without her, it wouldn't be the complete Douluo Continent.

It's the same with Tang San. As long as Tang Hao lives, even if I claim Ah Yin for myself, he'll have Tang San with someone else.

Even if Tang Hao dies, Tang San will be born in the Clear Sky Sect. That's how the fate of this era works. It's hard for anyone to interfere.

Especially with a leading man like Tang San, who holds the power of an era's fate. Even if the entire Clear Sky Sect is destroyed and no Clear Sky Hammer remains in the world, he'll still be born some other way.

Bibi Dong froze as she listened.

Tang San?

Ah Yin?

What was this "original story" supposed to be? She was completely lost.

It seemed she could only keep listening to his thoughts and piece together the truth over time.

"My Little Tiantian is amazing. You can decide someone's fate."

"Come on, let's go home."

Bibi Dong pushed down her questions and carried Ye Tian out of the secret chamber.

Two months later, Li Ya was confirmed pregnant. Bibi Dong pretended to be pregnant too and kept Li Ya at her side as her maid.

When Qian Xunji learned the news, he was wild with joy. Afraid Bibi Dong might secretly end the pregnancy, he immediately confined her to her small courtyard under constant watch and threatened Yu Xiaogang's life to keep her in line.

Qian Xunji's measures gave Bibi Dong an even better pretext to conceal Li Ya's pregnancy.

Bibi Dong also took the chance to devote herself to cultivation and raise her level as quickly as possible.

By the time Li Ya was due to give birth, Bibi Dong's true Soul Power had passed level seventy. She needed only a Soul Ring to become a Soul Saint.

"Your Holiness, Her Highness the Saintess is about to give birth."

Qian Xunji's cultivation was interrupted by the maid assigned to watch Bibi Dong.

At the news, Qian Xunji's face lit up with delight.

At his age, he was becoming a father rather late in life.

If Bibi Dong gave birth safely, he would have fulfilled his duty to carry on the family line.

"Go fetch a midwife at once!"

After giving the maid her orders, Qian Xunji rushed to Bibi Dong's room as fast as he could.

Qian Xunji had kept the matter so tightly under wraps that only a handful of people in all of Spirit Hall knew about it.

"Qian Xunji, no one is coming in. I don't need a midwife. Li Ya is here with me."

"If you dare bring a midwife in, the child and I will both die right here!"

Sensing Qian Xunji's arrival and fearing he would bring someone inside, Bibi Dong immediately shouted to stop him.

"Fine. If you can give birth on your own, I won't come in."

"But if you can't, I'll have to bring someone in."

Qian Xunji, who had been about to barge inside, stopped in his tracks.

The child about to be born was the one thing he could not bear to see harmed.

"Phew. I finally stopped him."

"Little Tiantian, what do we do now? I've never delivered a baby."

Seeing that Qian Xunji had not brought anyone in, Bibi Dong anxiously turned to Ye Tian beside her.

In truth, Li Ya had gone into labor several hours earlier. Bibi Dong and Ye Tian had kept it hidden, hoping she could deliver Qian Renxue safely.

But Li Ya now seemed to be having a difficult labor, and her strength was fading fast. If they did not find a way to help her soon, it would be too late.

"It's all right. I'll think of something. It's just delivering a baby, isn't it?"

"I'm an Elder Auspicious Beast Qilin. There's no way I can't handle this."

"Watch me!"

Ye Tian knew how dire Li Ya's condition was. He poured the power of an Auspicious Beast into her, hoping it would help.

With that power supporting her, Li Ya recovered quickly. But Ye Tian had no experience either, and he could not solve the problem.

The midwife had just arrived. Hearing the cries from inside, she sensed something was wrong and reported to Qian Xunji, "Your Holiness, the woman inside may be having a difficult labor. Please let me go in and take a look."

Qian Xunji tensed at once. "Can't she give birth on her own?"

"Your Holiness, difficult labor is the greatest danger in childbirth. One wrong turn, and both mother and child could be at risk. We may have to choose which one to save," the midwife replied respectfully.

Qian Xunji's eyes turned cold at her answer.

"If the child still hasn't been born in a few minutes, go straight in."

"If you have to choose between them, save the child."

"If she still can't deliver, cut her open and take the child out by force!"

"No matter what, the child must come through unharmed."
