Bibi Dong Fell for Him, and Ye Tian's Plan to Raise Qian Renxue as His Future Bride

Bibi Dong heard Ye Tian's thoughts and jumped in fright. She hurriedly covered herself, then looked up at the Qilin, whose nose was bleeding.

She had never expected Ye Tian to wake up now. It was too embarrassing.

But she could not reveal that she could hear his thoughts, so she could only swallow her embarrassment.

"You little rascal, Little Tiantian. You woke up and didn't even tell me."

Bibi Dong scolded him shyly. She put on her bathrobe, then picked Ye Tian up, her cheeks flushed.

Ye Tian was finally awake. The worry that had kept her heart hanging in the sky could at last be laid to rest.

As long as Ye Tian was all right, what did it matter if she lost out a little?

"Dong'er, I wanted to tell you, but what I saw just now was so stunning that I couldn't look away."

"Hehe, I have to say, Dong'er, you're a natural beauty with an irresistible figure. Even an Auspicious Beast like me was struck dumb."

"When I grow up and can take human form, I'll marry you and make you happy."

Ye Tian confessed without holding anything back. He had seen everything; if she did not marry him, who else could she marry?

"You little imp. What are you saying?"

"You're an Auspicious Beast, and I'm human. How could we be together?"

As Bibi Dong listened to Ye Tian's confession, her cheeks grew redder and her heart beat faster.

What Ye Tian had said went straight to her heart.

As things stood, Ye Tian truly was her best choice. Only he could bring her warmth and happiness.

"Why couldn't we be together? Love can cross the boundaries between species."

"Besides, I've seen all of you. If you don't marry me, who else could you marry?"

"So, Dong'er, you have no choice."

Ye Tian stared at Bibi Dong in apparent shock, wearing the look of someone who knew he had her cornered.

"Oh, so you did it on purpose! You wanted to see everything."

"Little Tiantian, you're too crafty. So this was what you had planned."

Bibi Dong froze at his words, then caught on at once.

So that was what Ye Tian had been waiting for.

"Not at all. What happened just now really was a coincidence. Maybe, because I'm an Elder Auspicious Beast Qilin, heaven arranged it."

"But however it happened, now that I've seen you, you're mine from this day on."

"If anyone dares bully you, I'll smack them dead with one paw!"

Ye Tian raised a little paw, full of spirit.

His earnest expression moved Bibi Dong deeply.

"You're so weak. How are you going to protect me?"

"Say that again once you've grown stronger."

Bibi Dong's heart stirred. She gently stroked Ye Tian's head and held him close.

In truth, Ye Tian was right. A human and a Soul Beast could fall in love, so long as their feelings were real.

She had also realized that she was growing a little unable to do without Ye Tian.

Once Ye Tian could take human form, a romance with him was not out of the question.

"All right. Just wait until I'm stronger!"

Ye Tian heard the meaning beneath Bibi Dong's words and silently swore to raise his cultivation as quickly as he could.

Six years passed in the blink of an eye. With the help of Ye Tian's auspicious beast fortune, Bibi Dong's Soul Power broke through to rank eighty-one.

During that time, Ye Tian's cultivation reached ten thousand years, and he also awakened his Fire Attribute Origin.

His Ultimate Wind and Ultimate Lightning had each evolved to 40%, his Ultimate Earth to 60%, and his Ultimate Fire to 20%.

Ye Tian now possessed strength on par with a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast—or a Titled Douluo—and was fully capable of protecting Bibi Dong.

In addition, Ye Tian had gained the ability to control Soul Beasts and animals. As long as their cultivation did not surpass his, they had to obey his commands.

What delighted Ye Tian most was that he could now take human form and switch freely between it and his Soul Beast form. His human form, however, was still that of a child.

To keep Ye Tian by her side, Bibi Dong told everyone she had met him outside and taken him as her disciple.

Since Ye Tian was older than Qian Renxue, Qian Xunji did not suspect that Bibi Dong had secretly had him with another man.

If Bibi Dong wanted to take a disciple, Qian Xunji was content to let her.

And so Ye Tian lived in Spirit Hall as Bibi Dong's disciple. While he had her send people to look for Ah Yin and Tang Hao, he began his plan to raise Qian Renxue as his future bride.

Because Qian Renxue carried a share of his auspicious beast fortune, she had trusted and liked Ye Tian from the day they met.

After only a few days together, the two had formed a deep bond.

Qian Daoliu saw that Ye Tian was just a child and bore no ill will, so he tacitly allowed them to spend time together.

After all, Qian Renxue needed more than her elders' company as she grew up. She needed playmates, too.

"Ye Tian, let's go catch some fish."

"I heard my dad bought a few very precious clownfish the other day. Why don't we catch them secretly and roast them?"

"I heard these clownfish are ugly, but their meat is delicious when roasted. Apparently they cost ten thousand Gold Soul Coins each."

Qian Renxue, who had just awakened her Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, came skipping happily to the place where she had agreed to meet Ye Tian.

"Sure!"

At Qian Renxue's invitation, Ye Tian took her little hand and headed for Qian Xunji's private fishpond.

The guards responsible for watching over it saw the two of them and promptly made themselves scarce.

Over the past year, Ye Tian and Qian Renxue had become Spirit Hall's little Soul Master terrors. Its people had suffered plenty at their hands.

Qian Renxue had once been utterly innocent, but under Ye Tian's influence, she had grown remarkably sly.

Sometimes, when Qian Xunji saw it, he was so vexed that his teeth itched.

But because Qian Renxue and Ye Tian were so close, he could only bear it.

"Ye Tian, Dad isn't here. Let's hurry and catch the fish before he comes back, or we won't get to eat them."

Qian Renxue glanced furtively around. Seeing no sign of Qian Xunji, she took Ye Tian's little hand and jumped into the pond.

The pond was only about a meter deep, with the water just reaching their chests.

"Oh no, Ye Tian, these clownfish swim too fast! They dart away before I can get close."

Qian Renxue tried for ages without catching one. She pouted her little lips, her face full of frustration.

"Xue'er, of course you can't catch them."

"With our clothes on in the water, there's too much drag, and we make too much commotion. The fish feel the strong ripples and swim away."

"If we want to catch them, we need to take off our clothes to reduce the drag."

Ye Tian began to spin his tale.

"So that's why. I understand."

Qian Renxue trusted Ye Tian completely. She took off her clothes and went after the fish.

To make sure she caught one, Ye Tian used his ability to control beasts and made the clownfish swim more slowly.

"Ye Tian, I really caught one!"

"You were right!"

Qian Renxue happily held up a clownfish and ran to the bank.

Ye Tian stared at the naked Qian Renxue and froze for a moment.

Small and delicate. Quite something.
