The next day.
The morning sunlight, like a fine golden veil, drifted slowly down from the gem-like azure sky, landing on the delicate flowers in the room. The flowers seemed to be ignited with the fire of life, appearing more brilliant and dazzling than ever.
The forest dew, reflecting the sunlight, looked like shimmering pearls, refracting a rainbow-colored halo.
Liam opened his eyes and looked at the sunlight outside the window, a smile spreading across his face.
Holding Zhu Zhuqing in her arms, Spirit Kite Douluo opened her eyes to look at Liam and said blissfully,
"Liam is really getting stronger and stronger. I didn't expect that even with me and the Pope joining forces, plus Zhuqing and Lingling, we still wouldn't be your match."
"It's just..."
After Spirit Kite Douluo finished speaking, she looked at Bibi Dong with a strange, somewhat disdainful expression.
"And here I thought my Pope sister was so formidable?"
"But she's only so-so!"
Bibi Dong had also just woken up, and the first thing she heard was Spirit Kite Douluo mocking her.
"You—"
She was so annoyed.
Liam smiled and explained,
"Auntie Ling Yuan, you've really wronged Donger here."
"Yesterday's Bibi Dong was the young Donger who had just been reborn. Otherwise, how could she have been so weak?"
"Exactly!"
Bibi Dong replied with a serious face.
Spirit Kite Douluo looked a bit confused.
"A reborn young girl?"
"What strange things are you two talking about again?"
Ye Lingling stood up and explained,
"Yesterday, the Pope sister completed the Sixth God Trial—Death Resurrection, which reshaped her Physical Body. That's why she became well-behaved after only a few rounds."
Good heavens!
Spirit Kite Douluo was stunned. She immediately let go of Zhu Zhuqing and pounced forward to hug Bibi Dong.
"Your Eminence, this is a brand new body?"
Bibi Dong hugged Spirit Kite Douluo back with a smug look and replied, "Of course!"
"Brand new, just unboxed yesterday."
Spirit Kite Douluo nodded slightly, reached out to measure her, and said, "How come it doesn't feel like anything was enhanced?"
"Since it's a new body, why didn't you add a couple of upgrades?"
"???"
For a moment.
Liam, Bibi Dong, Zhu Zhuqing, and Ye Lingling were all dumbfounded. They were truly shocked by Spirit Kite Douluo's bold idea!
Ye Lingling looked at Zhu Zhuqing, then at Bibi Dong, and finally fixed her gaze on Liam.
"Auntie Ling Yuan's idea is very creative; none of us thought of it yesterday."
"Right!"
Zhu Zhuqing said a single word with a serious face. She thought to herself, "If Bibi Dong had been upgraded a bit more, maybe everyone wouldn't feel the need to bully her so much."
Bibi Dong looked at Liam, hesitated, and said,
"Should I try it next time?"
Liam didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Alright."
"We should follow natural development; everyone is unique. Let's get up, go out for a meal, and then wander around Vast Sea City."
Afterwards.
Liam and the others got ready, called Gu Yuena and her three companions from next door, and left the hotel together.
Walking down the street, Bibi Dong turned to Gu Yuena and said,
"This is Spirit Kite Douluo, a sister from our family."
Gu Yuena nodded gently.
Bibi Dong then said to Spirit Kite Douluo,
"They are Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and Ah Yin."
"Hello!"
Spirit Kite Douluo greeted the four with a smile, finally fixing her gaze on Ah Yin.
"I've heard of you for a long time."
Ah Yin looked at Spirit Kite Douluo with a complicated expression but didn't say anything.
Vast Sea City Branch Hall.
Qing Luan, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, and Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo were sitting together drinking tea.
Guang Ling spoke up.
"Actually, we should have brought the High Priest along. The combat power of those Sea Soul Beasts is much stronger in the ocean."
"The High Priest has experience."
Chrysanthemum Douluo looked left and right, then whispered,
"It's not that we didn't want to call the High Priest, but we really couldn't. You don't know the High Priest's situation; if we brought him, we might not be able to take over Sea God Island at all."
"Oh?"
Qing Luan and the others all looked at Chrysanthemum Douluo, their eyes filled with a desire for gossip.
"So you know the truth?"
"Tell us?"
"If needed, should we swap the tea for wine?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo scratched his head awkwardly and replied, "Well—although I really want to say it, I truly don't dare!"
"If you want to know, wait for Spirit Kite Douluo to arrive and ask her! You could also ask Her Eminence or Liam."
Everyone was speechless.
If you don't dare to speak, why the hell did you even bring it up!
It was actually a good thing Chrysanthemum Douluo had some self-awareness; otherwise, Qian Daoliu, hiding in the shadows, would have definitely given him a thrashing.
At this time.
Liam, Bibi Dong, and their group walked in from outside.
Seeing them, Qing Luan and his group all stood up and called out,
"Your Eminence."
Bibi Dong nodded gently. "Everyone, sit."
The group nodded slightly and sat down. Their eyes then fell upon Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and Ah Yin.
They were absolutely shocked!
Soul Beasts.
More Soul Beasts.
Usually, one couldn't even find a Soul Beast over a hundred thousand years old, but besides that Xiao Wu in Spirit City, three more had appeared by Liam's side.
Of course.
They could only perceive three of them. With their strength, it was impossible to see through Gu Yuena's situation!
At this moment, the Spirit Hall staff added some chairs to the room, and Liam's group all sat down.
Bibi Dong began the introductions.
"Worshipers, Elders, these are my friends: Gu Yuena, Zi Ji, Bi Ji, and Ah Yin. They will also be accompanying us to Sea God Island."
"And these are our Spirit Hall's Worshipers and Elders: Qing Luan, Guang Ling, Qian Jun, Jiang Mo, Chrysanthemum Douluo, and Ghost Douluo."
Everyone nodded slightly to each other as a greeting.
Bibi Dong continued,
"The day we arrived, I already ordered people to prepare the ships and supplies. They should be just about ready now."
"Let our people rest for today, and tomorrow we will set sail for Sea God Island. Does anyone have any objections?"
Guang Ling and the others looked at each other and nodded in unison without saying anything.
"Wait."
Qing Luan suddenly looked at Ah Yin and asked, "Your Eminence, what did you say her name was?"
"Ah Yin?"
"She wouldn't happen to be a hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Grass, would she?"
Guang Ling and the others also looked at Ah Yin, a memory surfacing in their minds.
Bibi Dong glanced at everyone and replied,
"That's right!"
"She is exactly the Ah Yin you're thinking of."
They all knew that Qian Xunji had been heavily wounded back then while trying to capture the hundred-thousand-year Blue Silver Emperor.
It was just...
They hadn't expected this Ah Yin to end up together with Bibi Dong and the others.
Could it be because of Liam?
Qing Luan and his group looked at Liam with strange expressions. This was a young man they had never been able to figure out; he had not only won over their Spirit Hall's Holy Maiden but also the Pope and Spirit Kite Douluo.
The key point was...
He had other women at home as well.
And even more importantly...
A woman as powerful as Bibi Dong was actually willing to accept being with Liam alongside other women.
This Liam must have some extraordinary strengths!
