Chapter 354: Bibi Dong's Journey to the Clear Sky Clan
Returned once more to the darkness, Bibi Dong's consciousness came back. Everything that had happened in the second Sea God Trial now felt like a dream—fragments of memory floated through her mind: the joy with her daughter and disciple, her daughter's betrayal, leaving Spirit Hall for a useless man from the Clear Sky Clan named Tang Gang whose martial spirit was a literal turd stick, and finally her death at the hands of her daughter's descendant.
Even though it had only been a test, a mere illusion, recalling it still left Bibi Dong breathless with pain. How could her genius daughter, whom she had spoiled endlessly, fall for a trash like that? And because of him, abandon everything, be emotionally manipulated by the Clear Sky Clan, and only cultivate to the level of an ordinary Title Douluo at rank 93. Such a tremendous gift and a powerful spirit… wasted.
After a long while, Bibi Dong calmed herself. She collected her thoughts. "Did I pass the second trial of the Sea God Nine Trials? The trial was to develop Spirit Hall… but in the end, Spirit Hall was destroyed."
At that moment, the mechanical, ancient voice returned. "To become the Sea God, you must undergo numerous trials. The third trial: Tempering. Travel to Sea God Island and inherit my divine seat."
A flash of light engulfed her again. When she awoke, Bibi Dong found herself in yet another glorious palace, though its magnificence couldn't compare to the Pope's Hall.
A beautiful woman beside her was holding her hand. Bibi Dong, looking up, realized she was only waist-high to the woman. She had returned to her six-year-old self—just after her martial spirit had awakened. Her light pink short hair was neatly combed, her skin porcelain white, and her features were doll-like.
This appeared to be the main hall of Jialing Pass—the very beginning of when Qian Xunji sold her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
The voice from the Sea God Trial echoed in her mind. She instantly understood—this was a test of her journey, from innate full spirit power to Limit Douluo, and ultimately inheriting the Sea God's divine seat.
Too easy.
A glint of coldness flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong—those scum. Chen Xin, that hypocrite like Qian Daoliu.
This time, she wouldn't be the fool. She would cultivate diligently in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, gather power, perfect her twin spirits, and then—just like in the second trial—launch a coup, torture Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo to death. She would seize the sect and exile the entire Ning clan to Slaughter City.
After that, she could openly be with Xiaogang, enjoy the romance she'd been denied in the last trial.
If she gave birth to Yu Dongxue again, she would make sure Xiaogang taught her theory well. No more disasters like Tang Gang. The Sea God seat? She could claim it whenever she pleased.
She was led to a familiar trading room. Immediately, she spotted someone she detested with every fiber of her being—Qian Xunji. In this illusion, she swore that Qian Xunji, Qian Daoliu, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, and Sword Douluo would all experience the full pain of being "nourished" by the infamous General Scarface.
But the other man puzzled her. It wasn't Ning Fengzhi's uncle, Ning Zhiping. Instead, it was a towering man, muscular and bronze-skinned, with flowing brown hair—full of vitality and dominance, somewhat resembling Tang Hao.
He smiled warmly and beckoned to her, "Dong'er, come, Grandpa Chen will take you to the Clear Sky Clan."
Her heart skipped a beat. Clear Sky Clan? Grandpa Chen? Someone who looked like Tang Hao? Could this be Tang Chen?
When she fought Tang Chen in the past, he had the appearance of the Slaughter King, and his eyes turned black, so she didn't recognize him at first.
But… wasn't she supposed to go to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Why was she heading to the Clear Sky Clan?
"Little Xun'er, I'm leaving. Say hello to your father for me."
Tang Chen picked her up and flew toward the Clear Sky Clan like a cannonball.
Bibi Dong finally understood—this trial wasn't taking her to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. She was heading to the Clear Sky Clan. This was a harder test, set by the Sea God.
Then Tang Chen's bold but gentle voice sounded, "Little Dong'er, from today forward, you'll be my Clear Sky Clan's child bride. I'll be your future grandfather-in-law. Whatever you need, tell Grandpa Chen."
A glint of icy hatred flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes. Still, she pretended to be innocent and asked in a soft, childlike voice, "I understand, Grandpa Chen. But… what's a child bride?"
Tang Chen chuckled and explained, "It means when you grow up, you'll marry my grandson Tang Hao. He's my pride and joy—upright, powerful, destined to stand at the top of the continent. You may not understand now, but you will."
Bibi Dong nodded sweetly, but inside she wanted to vomit.
Tang Hao? A waste! The so-called towering hero who got beaten senseless by Qian Xunji and turned the Clear Sky Clan into a laughingstock? A filthy hobo?
She remembered him standing before the Pope's Hall—tattered robes, skin yellowed, hair like a bird's nest, beard clumped in patches… filthier than a street dog. She would rather die than marry Tang Hao in this illusion.
Only Xiaogang—in any world, only Xiaogang was worthy.
In one life, Xiaogang taught a god, became the Heaven Dou Empire's Grand Tutor, and led armies to crush her own. In another, he lived humbly, protected his father, and with just level 29 power, took on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Clear Sky Clan—turning both into jokes.
Only such a man, full of wisdom, courage, and loyalty, could truly match her.
