Just as Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena were discussing the Three-Eyed Golden Lion's love life, three powerful, undisguised divine Divine Power fluctuations suddenly emanated from the sky.
The shockwave was like three falling meteors, domineering and swift, instantly tearing through the atmosphere of Douluo Star and heading straight for Heaven Dou City.
One is the ultimate slaughter and Evil, yet it carries a reassuring majesty; another is a sacred and blazing light, seemingly capable of purifying everything in the world; and the last is a violent destruction and Destruction, carrying a relentless, undying spirit.
Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, Xiao Wu.
These three women, in their eagerness to see him, actually rushed down the mountain without any regard for their own safety.
"How can you be even more reckless than me..."
Although Xuan Ming complained, he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest. He raised his hand and gently pressed it into the void.
"Buzz--"
An invisible Divine Power instantly spread out, like a gentle tide, precisely enveloping the three torrents of Divine Power that were about to crash into the dimensional barrier.
"Stay calm!"
Xuan Ming's voice directly reached the three women's minds, "Don't tear down my Douluo Star!"
Upon hearing Xuan Ming's voice, Bibi Dong and the other two realized that they had acted impulsively. If the power of three God King level beings were to truly erupt out of control, even a Demigod Star would be blasted into a huge hole.
They quickly suppressed their auras, compressing their world-destroying divine Divine Power to its limit. Then, like three light butterflies, they silently passed through the clouds and landed on the bustling street.
The light faded, revealing three stunningly beautiful women dressed in mortal attire.
Bibi Dong wore a deep purple dress, exuding nobility and elegance. Although it was a simple style, it still couldn't conceal her aura as an empress who ruled the world.
Qian Renxue wore a light gold dress, her cascading golden hair flowing freely, making her look like an elf descended to earth;
Xiao Wu was wearing a lively and cute white short skirt, her long and beautiful legs were particularly eye-catching, and she exuded youthful vitality.
As soon as the three landed, their eyes were fixed on Xuan Ming.
The atmosphere froze for a moment.
Xuan Ming stood there, feeling like a child caught doing something wrong by his parents, and awkwardly touched his nose.
"Um... long time no see?"
Twenty-seven years.
It may not have been a long time for God, but for those who had been waiting, every day was agony.
Bibi Dong remained silent.
She walked step by step to Xuan Ming, her deep purple eyes revealing no anger, only a bottomless pool of tenderness and longing.
The next second, she reached out and gently, yet with unwavering determination, embraced Xuan Ming.
There were no questions, no blame.
Only a whisper as light as the wind:
"It's good that you're back."
Those four words instantly dispelled the last bit of embarrassment in Xuan Ming's heart, transforming it into endless guilt and gratitude.
He wrapped his arms around Bibi Dong, rested his chin on the top of her head, and whispered, "I'm sorry for making you worry. It won't happen again..."
"Snort."
Bibi Dong gave a soft hum in his arms, then looked up at him with a half-smile in her beautiful eyes, "You'd better shut up about this nonsense."
" Xuan Ming, count for yourself, from the time we met until now, when have you ever said something different? And when have you ever truly changed your mind?"
"How many dangerous things have you done? Every time, haven't you risked your life, carrying the whole world on your shoulders?"
"Your bad temper hasn't changed at all over the years."
Xuan Ming opened his mouth, but found himself speechless.
"Alright, alright, stop with the sentimentality."
Gu Yuena, who was standing to the side, couldn't stand it any longer and walked over to interrupt the two, "This is a main street. Although ordinary people can't see our faces clearly, your hugging and carrying each other like this is still affecting traffic, okay?"
"Let's find a place to sit down and talk, I'm starving."
Xuan Ming felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He quickly let go of Bibi Dong and took her hand, saying, "Yes, let's eat first, and talk while we eat."
A moment later, the group arrived at a high-end soul guide restaurant called " Heavenly Fragrance Pavilion " in the center of Heaven Dou City.
Xuan Ming booked the most luxurious private room on the top floor.
"The task of ordering food will be left to Xiao Wu."
Xuan Ming handed the menu to Xiao Wu, "You know what I like to eat."
"Absolutely!"
Xiao Wu took the menu and, without any hesitation, began to rattle off the dishes. "Braised rabbit head... Ugh, I don't want that! I want steamed fried fish, crystal shrimp, spicy lobster..."
They ordered all of Xuan Ming's favorite flavors, and even remembered the side dishes clearly.
Just then, the door to the private room was pushed open.
"Uncle Xuan Ming! I'm back!"
A purple-green whirlwind rushed in; it was Yan Ling'er, who had returned after having her fun.
She was still holding a string of unfinished candied hawthorns in her hand, with sugar crumbs around her mouth, and looked very excited.
As soon as she entered, she saw the white figure sitting next to Xuan Ming, and her eyes lit up instantly.
" Sister Xiao Wu!"
Yan Ling'er cheered and rushed over, grabbing Xiao Wu's arm. "You're here too! I thought you were locked up in the Divine Realm!"
"Go away, go away! Who dares to lock me up in confinement?"
Xiao Wu pinched Yan Ling'er's cheek and said with a grin, "How was your first time in the mortal realm? Did you embarrass your parents?"
"No way! I listen to everything you say, and I'll speak up when I see injustice!"
Yan Ling'er proudly raised her chin, "I just saw some thugs bullying someone on the street, so I went up and kicked them all away with one kick each! Pretty impressive, right?"
"Well done!"
Xiao Wu gave a thumbs up, "As expected of someone I trained, they have a bright future!"
Watching the two adults and one child interacting as if no one else was around, Xuan Ming and Gu Yuena exchanged a glance, both looking helpless.
No wonder Yan Ling'er has such a wild personality.
So the root of the problem lies with Xiao Wu!
Xiao Wu inherited the Godhood the God of Destruction, who was originally a subordinate of the God of Destruction of God of Destruction. Coupled with Xiao Wu's mischievous nature, she was a perfect match for the volatile God of Destruction.
From a young age, Yan Ling'er grew up under Xiao Wu's "teaching by example".
They didn't learn any of that ladylike demeanor or goddess-like aura.
On the contrary, he learned that kind of "fearless, reckless, and do-it-again" attitude perfectly.
"If Destruction and Life knew their daughter had been raised like this..."
Xuan Ming, watching Yan Ling'er fighting with Xiao Wu over candied hawthorns, couldn't help but remark, "She's probably going to fight Xiao Wu to the death, isn't she?"
"No, that won't happen."
Gu Yuena smiled. "That guy, Destruction, is a total doting father. As long as Ling'er is happy, he'd be there to help even if she caused a major disaster. As for Life..."
" Life favors Ling'er more," Bibi Dong continued. "She thinks Ling'er is fine this way—energetic and not bullied. Anyway, with us aunties protecting her, who would dare lay a finger on her?"
Xuan Ming's expression was somewhat unnatural.
So this girl isn't just a second-generation god, but also the darling of the entire Divine Realm, spoiled rotten by everyone?
"Alright, all the dishes are ready."
Xuan Ming tapped the table, interrupting their chatter, "Let's eat first. After we finish eating, we still have important business to attend to."
"Is this serious business?"
Qian Renxue put down her teacup, raising an eyebrow slightly. "You mean that kid named Huo Yuhao?"
"Leave him alone for now."
Xuan Ming shook his head. "I gave him a chance. If he can seize it, I will help him. If he doesn't have the ability, it's his own fate."
"And..."
Xuan Ming glanced at Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, "I also want to see if there's any hope left for the church you two have trained."
"What if there isn't one?" Xiao Wu asked casually.
"If not, we can just start over," Xuan Ming said calmly.
"Only profound fear can teach people what they should and shouldn't do."
Chapter 508 Prevention is better than cure
The afternoon sun shone on the streets of Heaven Dou City, giving this technologically advanced metropolis a golden edge.
Xuan Ming and his group had just walked out of the restaurant.
Just then, a warm, azure light descended from the sky, like a gentle breeze.
As the light faded, Bo Saixi appeared before the crowd, clad in a blue and gold robe and holding the Sea God Scepter.
She actually entered Douluo Star even earlier Bibi Dong.
However, as the Sea God, the first thing she did upon returning was to go to Sea God Island to stabilize the Divine Power barrier and prevent the fluctuations of God King- level power from having too much of an impact on the ocean.
After dealing with matters in their own "backyard," they hurriedly came to Heaven Dou City to meet up.
Upon seeing Xuan Ming, even the usually dignified and composed Bo Saixi couldn't help but feel a ripple in her eyes.
Without a word, she strode forward and gave Xuan Ming a hug that carried the scent of the sea. The hug was neither Bibi Dong's nor as fiery as Qian Renxue's, but rather as encompassing and peaceful as water.
"Haven't seen you for a long time."
Xuan Ming gently patted her back and smiled.
"Long time no see." Bo Saixi released him, a gentle smile on her face. "You're finally awake."
They walked shoulder to shoulder on the streets of the mortal world.
Xuan Ming didn't rush to discuss the troublesome church issues on Douluo Star. Instead, he casually asked as they walked, "Speaking of which, I was so busy eating at the dinner table. How have you all been doing in the Divine Realm these past few years? Are you really as busy as Destruction said, with your feet barely touching the ground?"
Bibi Dong was about to speak, Xiao Wu, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but complain as if her tail had been stepped on.
"It's more than just their feet not touching the ground!"
Xiao Wu wore a bitter face and poured out her grievances, "At first, everyone thought being a guardian deity in the mortal realm was pretty prestigious, respected by thousands, and you could travel everywhere. But later..."
"It's practically like being a jailer guard!"
Xiao Wu gestured exaggeratedly, "I used to think that cultivating in the Divine Realm every day was so boring, I wished I could spend 24 hours a day playing outside. But now... I think cultivation is the happiest thing in the world! At least I don't have to keep an eye on the every move of those mortals, and I don't have to write those thick, brick-like interdimensional observation reports!"
"Report?" Xuan Ming was taken aback.
"Yeah!" Xiao Wu said indignantly, " Sister Dongdong is a devil! Not only did she make us take turns keeping watch, but she also stipulated that we have to submit a detailed report on the development of the plane every month. From the political landscape to the level of technology, from the number of powerful beings to potential threats, everything has to be written down! If you miss a single word, you have to write it all down and have to rewrite it!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow slightly, her deep purple eyes sweeping over Xiao Wu indifferently.
"Oh? It seems you have a lot of complaints about my work arrangements?"
Xiao Wu's expression froze for a moment, instantly transforming from an "angry young man" into a docile Xiao Bai.
No! No! How could that be!
Xiao Wu shook her head frantically, her face plastered with a fawning smile, " Sister Dongdong is so wise and capable! The work arrangement is so scientific and reasonable! I... I mean, I'm too stupid to understand your deeper meaning, I absolutely don't have any objections!"
joke!
Bibi Dong's skill in making things difficult for others is unparalleled in the Divine Realm!
In the past, whenever she protested even slightly or tried to slack off, she would be assigned to the most remote, desolate planes where there was no one to talk to the next day for "investigation," euphemistically called "training her character."
Moreover, they'd be gone for more than half a year at a time, and they'd have to write even more reports!
