Two Years, and Bibi Dong Has Arrived
1306 Words
Time passed quickly, and two years had already gone by.
During these two years, Ling Xu's life in Wuhun City was very simple. He was too young, and his strength was still weak. There were many things he couldn’t change, so the only thing he could do was focus on his cultivation.
Ling Xu's bond with Qian Renxue deepened during these two years, and "childhood sweethearts" was a fitting description for their relationship.
One morning, after Ling Xu woke up, he habitually checked his system panel.
Host: Ling Xu
Status: Healthy
Martial Soul: Holy Light Winged Tiger
Soul Power: Level 29
Spirit Power: Level 38
Soul Rings: Yellow (815 years), Yellow (930 years)
Soul Bone: None
Cultivation Technique: Ning Yuan Jue (Third Stage)
Skills: Mysterious Phantom Step (Great Success), Eight Extreme Fists (Small Success)
In two years, Ling Xu’s soul power had risen to level 29 thanks to his efforts and the various system tasks he completed. Seven levels in two years was not particularly fast, but with the help of his cultivation technique and the rewards from the system tasks, it wasn’t bad either.
However, when compared to Qian Renxue, who had reached level 34 in these two years, Ling Xu felt a bit envious. Nine levels in two years was truly a terrifying talent.
Apart from the soul power increase, the age of his soul rings had also risen. Naturally, the power of his soul skills had also increased along with the age of his soul rings.
Additionally, Ling Xu had obtained Ning Yuan Jue a year ago. While it wasn't as powerful as some of the more divine techniques like the Hong Yuan or Chaos techniques, Ling Xu, who cultivated it, knew that in this primitive world of Douluo, it was more than enough.
The Ning Yuan Jue had increased Ling Xu’s cultivation speed by more than double; without it, he wouldn’t have been able to reach level 29 in just two years.
The Mysterious Phantom Step was at Great Success, and about a month ago, he had also gained a new offensive ability, Eight Extreme Fists, which greatly enhanced his close-quarters combat skills, compensating for the lack of attack abilities in his first two soul skills.
That day, as usual, Ling Xu brought a box of Qian Renxue’s favorite peach pastries to the Hall of Worship to cultivate together with her.
Along the way, the guards were already familiar with Ling Xu, so he didn’t need to show the token given by Qian Daoliu anymore. As he walked by, the guards greeted him warmly.
But just as Ling Xu took a few steps, he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. He even felt a sense of fear, as if something terrifying was behind him.
He turned around and was stunned for a few seconds.
The woman in front of him had an extremely cold and beautiful face. Ling Xu, who had watched anime and read novels, immediately recognized her as Bibi Dong. She exuded a bloody aura, and the chill he had felt earlier was likely the killing intent she was unconsciously releasing.
Since arriving in this world, Ling Xu had never seen Bibi Dong before. But now, she had returned, and with her terrifying killing intent, it was clear she had just come from the Slaughter City and hadn’t fully controlled her killing aura yet.
"You, follow me!" Bibi Dong said softly as she walked past Ling Xu.
Her voice was enough to shake anyone’s heart. At this moment, how could Ling Xu dare to refuse?
He quickly checked her status through the system and saw that Bibi Dong was now 28 years old with a soul power of 86. This meant she had given birth to Qian Renxue when she was just over 19.
With 86-level soul power at 28 years old, Bibi Dong was undoubtedly the strongest person at this stage. Even Tang Hao, who had reached the Soul Saint level at 30, could not compare to her.
Moreover, Bibi Dong had yet to add a soul ring to her second martial soul, likely waiting until her soul power reached level 90 to become a Title Douluo before adding soul rings to her second soul.
Under the overwhelming killing intent, Ling Xu had no choice but to follow her.
At the same time, Ling Xu made a hand gesture to the guards behind him, signaling them to inform the Hall of Worship. Not for anything else, but for his life.
People who came out of the Slaughter City were unstable, and when they hadn't controlled their killing intent, killing was as easy for them as drinking water or walking.
After passing through the Pope’s Hall, Ling Xu followed Bibi Dong to a dimly lit secret room.
After Bibi Dong sat down, she looked at Ling Xu.
"Not bad, you’re only a little over ten years old and have 28-level soul power, similar to where I was when I was your age. But why are you appearing next to Qian Renxue?" she asked sharply.
"Are you waiting for the right moment to act inappropriately?" Bibi Dong asked coldly.
Having just returned from the Slaughter City, Bibi Dong went to see her daughter Qian Renxue. Although she hated her, there was still a shred of love there, as she was her flesh and blood. However, this love was buried deep within hatred.
For the past few days, she had noticed how well Ling Xu and Qian Renxue had been getting along, which made her furious!
What made her even angrier was the fact that Ling Xu was a man. It reminded her of the things that Qian Xunji had done to her in the past.
Ling Xu took a deep breath, controlling his trembling body from the killing intent, and said, "Who are you? Don’t you know that I have been cultivating with Xue for two years? We are best friends."
"I have no inappropriate intentions toward Xue, I never have, and I never will," he declared.
Under the roof, Ling Xu refused to lose his dignity, even if it meant death.
Bibi Dong coldly replied, "Who I am doesn’t matter. But I’m ordering you. You can never be near Qian Renxue again."
Ling Xu mustered his courage and asked, "What if I don’t listen?"
In the next instant, Bibi Dong’s sharp gaze seemed to shine, and a killing aura surged like a wave.
Ling Xu staggered, almost falling to the ground.
It was terrifying. The difference in strength was too vast, and Ling Xu had no power to resist. Even the smallest movement from her could end his life.
"Die…" Bibi Dong hissed.
Just as she uttered the word "die," Ling Xu’s spirit nearly collapsed, and he almost fainted.
But just in that moment, he smelled a faint fragrance.
Ling Xu looked up and saw a familiar and breathtaking figure rushing in to hug him.
"Bibi Dong, what are you doing to my brother Ling Xu!"
"You’re a bad person."
"If anything happens to my brother Ling Xu, I’ll never let you off!"
Qian Renxue shouted, standing in front of Ling Xu. Despite Bibi Dong being her mother, she didn’t like her at all. After all, Bibi Dong had done nothing for her other than give birth to her.
Moreover, Qian Renxue knew that if it weren’t for her father Qian Xunji’s interference, Bibi Dong would never have allowed her to be born into this world.
"Good, very good. You even dare to call my name. You’ve got some guts! Today, I’ll kill this brat to prevent him from becoming a future trouble," Bibi Dong said coldly, about to strike.
But just then, Qian Renxue didn’t hesitate to stand in front of Ling Xu.
"If you want to kill Ling Xu, then you’ll have to kill me first!"
