Can I touch it?
[Bibi Dong gazed at Yu Xiaogang with an expectant look.]
[Being stared at, Yu Xiaogang looked into Bibi Dong's bright pupils and was momentarily dazed.]
[In that moment of his distraction, the Little Dragon let out a happy cry and directly rubbed its head against Bibi Dong's hand.]
["What a magical spirit!"]
[Bibi Dong stroked the Little Dragon's head, her face full of wonder.]
[Since she began learning about Spirits, she was taught that a Spirit is the manifestation of one's own power.]
[The one in control of the Spirit is always the Spirit Master themselves.]
[But with Yu Xiaogang, this law seemed to no longer apply.]
[After all, no matter how you looked at it, Yu Xiaogang and the Little Dragon were two separate entities.]
[While Yu Xiaogang was still hesitating, the Little Dragon had already agreed.]
["Little Dragon, you rascal..."]
[Yu Xiaogang gave an annoyed glance at the Little Dragon, who had already begun interacting affectionately with Bibi Dong, and was momentarily speechless.]
["Your name is Bibi Dong, right? Are you currently studying at the Spirit Master Academy?"]
[Yu Xiaogang watched as Bibi Dong pinched the Little Dragon's cheeks with both hands, turning it into a living emoji, so he found a topic to talk about.]
["Yes, I'm currently at the Spirit Master Academy."]
[Bibi Dong, having fun with the Little Dragon, replied to Yu Xiaogang without even looking up.]
["Then it seems we'll be classmates at the same academy in the future?"]
["Can you tell me something about the Spirit Master Academy?"]
[Hearing this, Bibi Dong tilted her head.]
["To be honest, you shouldn't really ask me about that. Although I study at the Spirit Master Academy, I'm actually not that familiar with it."]
["Why?"]
["It's simple. My teacher is His Holiness the Pope. My talent far exceeds theirs, and the difference in status and talent makes them afraid to even approach me."]
[Speaking of this, the expression on Bibi Dong's face became somewhat dejected.]
[Clearly, she felt quite lonely about the fact that no one at the Spirit Master Academy would come near her.]
[Whenever she saw children her age playing together or sharing secrets, she felt very sent.]
[However, despite her envy, Bibi Dong wouldn't take the initiative to blend in with those people.]
[As a Genius with Full Innate Spirit Power and twin spirits, there was no reason for her to chase after others to be their friend.]
[Not long after entering the academy, Bibi Dong had asked her teacher about this issue.]
[And her teacher's answer was something Bibi Dong remembered vividly:]
["The fact that they dare not approach you proves their cowardice and inferiority. Such people are destined to have limited achievements in the future."]
["There is no need to waste your mind on such people. For someone to become your friend, at the very least, they must not feel inferior when facing you; only then can your relationship last."]
[As it turned out, Qian Xunji's viewpoint was correct.]
[Bibi Dong once met a decent friend during a Spirit Fighting match.]
[At first, her relationship with that person was very good, and at that time, Bibi Dong thought she was about to have her first friend.]
[But as it happened, in just a short period, Bibi Dong's spirit power rose several ranks, while that person's spirit power remained unchanged.]
[Consequently, that person became inferior in front of Bibi Dong and became afraid to speak.]
[Ultimately, after a team Spirit Fighting match, that person completely disappeared from Bibi Dong's world.]
[At that point, Bibi Dong finally understood the meaning of her teacher's words.]
[Recalling her past experiences, Bibi Dong stroked the Little Dragon's head, turned to look at Yu Xiaogang, and said half-jokingly:]
["Perhaps you will be the first true friend I make at the Spirit Master Academy?"]
[In Bibi Dong's view, regardless of anything else, Yu Xiaogang's background ensured he wouldn't feel inferior in front of her.]
[She was the Disciple of a Titled Douluo, and he was the son of a Titled Douluo.]
[Strictly speaking, his relationship with a Titled Douluo was even closer.]
[In terms of talent, she had Full Innate Spirit Power plus twin spirits, the only one like that in the Douluo Continent for hundreds or even thousands of years.]
[But Yu Xiaogang had also achieved the unprecedented feat of a first spirit ring of thousand years.]
[Thinking about it this way, they were indeed suitable to be friends.]
["Friends..."]
[Hearing Bibi Dong's seemingly joking words, Yu Xiaogang propped his chin with one hand and suddenly thought.]
[It seemed he didn't have any friends yet.]
[Before the age of five, he lacked the ability to make friends, and afterward, he lacked the time.]
[After he obtained his first spirit ring back then, Uncle Ye brought his daughter to him and told him to spend some time with her.]
[Then Yu Xiaogang experienced just how much of a brat a child in the Douluo Continent could be.]
[Since then, he had never interacted with peers again.]
[Now that he had come to Spirit City and enrolled in the Spirit Master Academy, those he would interact with in the future would all be his peers.]
["I hope the people I meet in the future are reliable."]
[Yu Xiaogang prayed silently in his heart and then looked at Bibi Dong.]
["We'll talk about becoming friends later. By the way, how long do you plan to play with the Little Dragon?"]
[Yu Xiaogang casts a sharp glance at the Little Dragon.]
[Looking at you, I haven't seen you get this close to anyone else.]
["Anyway, it's still early before the banquet ends. It's good to hide outside for a while."]
["Do you really want to go back to that boring banquet?"]
[At the mention of the banquet, Bibi Dong's face wrinkled. That look of rejection clearly showed she suffered from the hardships of socializing.]
["...Never mind then, I don't want to go back either."]
[After a moment of silence, Yu Xiaogang felt his scalp tingle at the thought of the socializing at the banquet.]
["I see you're quite bored too. Do you want some snacks?"]
["Back in the Star Dou Great Forest, I said I'd treat you to something delicious when you came to Spirit City."]
["There's no time right now, so why don't you do with these for now?"]
[Bibi Dong pointed to a pile of food lined up beside her.]
"Alright then."
[Yu Xiaogang glanced at the food; there were indeed a few items that piqued his interest.]
[So Yu Xiaogang came to Bibi Dong's side and, regardless of his formal attire, sat cross-legged on the ground and began picking up some snacks to eat.]
["Mm? Delicious!"]
[As soon as the snack entered his mouth, Yu Xiaogang's eyes lit up.]
[He looked at the snack in his hand with surprise, really not expecting this thing to bring him such a big surprise.]
["Hehe, not bad, right? These are all things I've approved of. Anything I approve of is extraordinary."]
[Bibi Dong held her head high, like a proud peacock.]
["Awoo!"]
[The Little Dragon let out a howl of agreement from the side, and its agreement made Bibi Dong even more excited.]
["You agree with what I said, right! Hahaha, indeed, I said anything I approve of is extraordinary. This food is, and so are you!"]
