Bibi Dong Awakens and Meets Yu Xiaogang Again

Xiong Jun led Jiang Nian into the core of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The first thing that met his eyes was a lake.

The lake was not very large; he could see the opposite shore at a glance. It looked like nothing more than an ordinary lake brimming with life.

Ah, the lake's surface was smooth as a mirror. Its pale green water was like a piece of the finest natural jade, shimmering with a green light full of life. Around it, ancient trees towered straight into the clouds.

A faint mist hung over the lake, and the moist air carried the distinctive fragrance of plants toward him.

The place was filled with the breath of life. Its vitality was at least several times stronger than that of the outside world, while natural elements of every attribute were also active here, their concentration rivaling even that of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"Is this the Lake of Life?" Jiang Nian looked at the medicinal herbs by the shore. It was indeed a treasure land any alchemist would love.

Xiong Jun scratched his head and said with a simple, honest air, "The master told us to bring you here, and that's all. But let me warn you, kid: if you dare disrespect the master, this place will be your grave!"

The fellow was all brawn and no brains, and Jiang Nian had no intention of wasting words on him.

Only after Xiong Jun left did Jiang Nian sit down on a bluestone slab by the shore. Ripples spread across the lake as a massive silver dragon gently parted the water and emerged.

The Silver Dragon King's lines were graceful and well proportioned, unlike the bulging muscles of other dragons. Her body was enormous, yet it gave an impression of agility.

Jiang Nian looked at the Silver Dragon King. She was far more dangerous than Di Tian. Having split from the Dragon God, she was a genuine god.

Before Jiang Nian could take a close look at her dragon body, the Silver Dragon King leaped from the lake, assumed human form, and landed by the shore. "I'm pleased you could make it."

Jiang Nian brushed off his sleeves and stood. "Now that I'm here, shouldn't you keep your promise and help my disciple's bastard of a mother wake up?"

"Of course." Gu Yuena sent out a wave of spiritual power, invading Bibi Dong's dream.

The Silver Dragon King's spiritual power was extremely strong, so interfering with Bibi Dong's dream was no difficult task. That was also why she was confident she could wake Bibi Dong.

Gu Yuena said, "She should wake up before long."

Jiang Nian looked at her. "I didn't expect the Silver Dragon King to wake up at this time. Isn't it a little too early?"

Gu Yuena raised an eyebrow. "If the Blue Silver Emperor hadn't undergone a mutation and activated the vitality of Douluo Star's leylines, I wouldn't have recovered so quickly."

Jiang Nian said nothing, waiting for her to continue.

Just as he expected, Gu Yuena did have a request for him. "I'd like to know what method you used to give a Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor the power to connect to Douluo Star's leylines."

"Couldn't it have been her natural talent?"

"I've been keeping watch over the entire Star Dou Great Forest. The Blue Silver Emperor was gifted before, but not remarkably so, much less enough to connect to the power of the leylines."

Jiang Nian smiled. "That's right. I was the one who helped her do it."

Gu Yuena's gaze flickered. "I wonder if you could..."

"No."

"I haven't even said what it is yet."

Jiang Nian looked toward the lake. "It's nothing more than reviving the Dragon God. I don't like inviting trouble on myself. If that's all, I'll take my leave."

Gu Yuena's gaze grew distant. "Then what if I take you as my teacher too?"

Gu Yuena could sense that Qian Renxue's Martial Soul had originally been an angel, but it had now undergone a mutation as well.

There was even less need to mention Ah Yin. Gu Yuena had watched her grow up, and the changes she had undergone were inseparable from the man before her.

At first, Jiang Nian had not treated Ah Yin so well. Everything had changed after Ah Yin took him as her teacher.

But even she could not fathom Jiang Nian's strength. He had no need to take those two as disciples at all, unless doing so also benefited him!

All of this was merely Gu Yuena's speculation, but it was worth a gamble.

On the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

As Gu Yuena's spiritual power fluctuated, Bibi Dong's eyelashes began to tremble.

The world of her dreams was no longer beautiful. Everything that had happened in reality played out in her dreams again and again.

Her first love's deception and her teacher's rape had once driven her to a mental collapse.

In the end, she had lost everything and become a madwoman who knew only how to kill, reviled by the world.

She hated everyone and everything on the Douluo Continent.

Qian Renxue could only watch as Bibi Dong's expression gradually twisted, powerless to do a thing. She held Bibi Dong and called softly, "Mother, don't be afraid. It's all over. Xue'er will protect you."

Bibi Dong's brow relaxed a little, but her expression remained somewhat ferocious.

Just then, a commotion arose nearby.

Qian Renxue looked up and was surprised to see Yu Xiaogang and people from the Elephant Armor Sect.

The leader of the Elephant Armor Sect group, Huyan An, was a level 82 Soul Douluo. He had brought the group out to hunt Soul Rings for his subordinates, and all along the way, he had treated Yu Xiaogang as an object of amusement.

The moment Yu Xiaogang saw Qian Renxue, his eyes turned red.

It's this little bitch! She's the one who crippled me, the one who reduced me to this!

Yu Xiaogang curled his fingers delicately. "Brother Huyan, help me kill her! Kill that girl!"

Then he spotted the unconscious Bibi Dong, and his eyes lit up with even greater delight.

As long as he waited for Bibi Dong to wake up, he could escape Huyan An and rely on her love for him to fight his way back to Spirit Hall!

The thought made Yu Xiaogang even more excited.

If he also killed Qian Renxue, the little thing Bibi Dong regarded as a nightmare, Bibi Dong would see how deep his love was!

After all, he, Yu Xiaogang, dared to offend the Qian Family for Bibi Dong!

Faced with the humans who had suddenly appeared, Di Tian frowned at first, but had no intention of intervening.

He had said he would protect these people from attacks by Soul Beasts. As for humans fighting among themselves, he was happy to see it happen.

Ah Yin stepped in front of Qian Renxue. "Senior sister, protect your mother. Leave these people to me!"

Di Tian intervened at an inopportune moment and pulled Ah Yin straight back. "You're a Soul Beast, yet you call a human girl senior sister and even want to protect humans? Disgraceful!"

Di Tian was a top expert. How could Ah Yin break free of his restraint? "Let your great-aunt go! If my master finds out, he'll snap those dragon horns right off your head!"

"Noisy!" Di Tian unleashed his dragon's might. Ah Yin's body trembled, and she found herself unable to speak another word. She could only watch helplessly as the group approached Qian Renxue.

Huyan An had initially been wary of Di Tian, having sensed unprecedented pressure from him, but the fellow did not seem inclined to interfere here.

Even so, he was in no hurry to act, mainly because he kept feeling he had seen Qian Renxue somewhere before. Her face seemed familiar.

Seeing Huyan An hesitate, Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth. "Brother Huyan, as long as you help me kill him, you can do whatever you want with me!"

Hearing that, Huyan An found himself recalling the experience.

Yu Xiaogang looked honest enough, but unexpectedly, he had no cock and played even wilder than the regulars at brothels.

Such a promise was just what he, Huyan Yan, wanted.

"Easy, easy. Just wait, Brother Yu. She's only a little girl, isn't she? Watch me kill her with one hand!"

Qian Renxue stared at Huyan An and summoned her Martial Soul. Her purple and black Soul Rings were especially glaring.

Huyan An's heart jolted, and he began to think of retreating. He had never heard of such a Soul Ring Configuration.

But though he wanted to retreat, Yu Xiaogang would not have it. He shouted angrily, "Bastard! Who taught you to configure your Soul Rings like that? A thousand-year First Soul Ring-which incompetent taught you that?"

"Do you know what the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Soul are? Absorbing Soul Rings like that is downright heresy!"

"Farts like thunder, Earth-Shattering Luo Sanpao! Blast this fellow who knows nothing about Soul Master cultivation to death!"

Fuck, you dared attack too?!

Huyan An had been set over the fire. Now he had to act whether he wanted to or not. Since he had offended her, he might as well kill the girl and end the threat once and for all!

Huyan An did not hesitate. He went straight for his Martial Soul Avatar.

Her teacher's instructions surfaced in Qian Renxue's mind, and she was just about to use Bone Spirit Cold Flame when a shadow suddenly fell before her. The figure she had longed for was standing in front of her, though she had no idea when she had arrived.

Bibi Dong's tone was somewhat unnatural, but she said it all the same. "Xue'er, step back. Your mother has a score to settle."
