Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

"I fall asleep when I'm tired."

Chen Yao's gaze remained vacant as he uttered meaningless words.

"Are you talking nonsense because I was out handling some business and didn't come back in time, making you feel lonely and that's why you're throwing a tantrum?"

Bibi Dong smiled, paused, stood up, and sat on Chen Yao's chest, staring at him with interest.

Chen Yao reacted slightly after hearing Bibi Dong's words, his lips twitching slightly as he spoke without any restraint.

"You really know how to flatter yourself. I actually wish I could be a little lonely. Could you keep busy for a few more days in a row?"

Bibi Dong was not annoyed by Chen Yao's words. Instead, she looked at Chen Yao with a hint of pity in her eyes, and gently stroked Chen Yao's cheek with her long, slender, white hand.

"It seems you were really exhausted recently. However, I need to deal with the Spirit Hall's affairs from time to time. Those useless people have been like unweaned babies while I was away, making a mess of everything. So, I can give you enough time to rest."

Bibi Dong spoke to Chen Yao in a tone that was both comforting and complaining.

Upon hearing Bibi Dong's slightly dissatisfied tone towards the higher-ups in the palace, a hint of interest flashed in Chen Yao's eyes, and he tentatively asked a question.

"Since you have such a big problem with them, how about I help you? Don't worry, you don't need to remove these shackles for me, I won't run away."

Chen Yao thought he would test Bibi Dong's attitude. Although the hope of escaping was slim, as long as he could leave this secret place, there would still be a chance.

However, what Bibi Dong said next made Chen Yao fall silent.

"Help me? Besides forming cliques, abusing your power, and accepting bribes, what else can you do? The Spirit Hall is relatively stable now, but it can't withstand your troublemaking."

Bibi Dong stared at Chen Yao with amusement.

That's a good question. Chen Yao opened his mouth, but couldn't find a way to refute it.

However, although Bibi Dong's words were correct, what was with that tone of coaxing a child? It made Chen Yao feel very unnatural and ashamed. He wanted to correct her, but when he looked up at Bibi Dong's doting expression, he gave up.

Even if I told him, he probably wouldn't change his mind, so I'm too lazy to waste my breath. Right now, he's completely powerless to resist and is at Bibi Dong's mercy, just like her son.

Seeing that Chen Yao remained silent, Bibi Dong continued.

"You, just stay here obediently for now. Don't worry, I won't keep you locked up here forever. Once you get used to it, we'll get married. I'll hold the grandest wedding in the entire Douluo Continent on the Holy Mountain of the Spirit Hall. At that time, all the forces of the Douluo Continent will come to pay homage and celebrate for us. You will be the most honored man in the world, my man!"

Bibi Dong pressed her face close to Chen Yao's, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and emotion.

What if I can't get used to it?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's eyes twitched slightly.

"Then let's wait. If one year isn't enough, then ten years; if ten years isn't enough, then one hundred years; if one hundred years isn't enough, then ten thousand years. We are all successors of the gods, and we will have infinite lives in the future. I have enough patience to wait. Time can change everything. Chen Yao, you will eventually get used to my presence. I will completely imprint the feeling of my appearance, voice, soul, and body merging with yours into the depths of your soul and every corner of your body!"

As Bibi Dong spoke, a smile graced her face as she shifted gears again and precisely settled into the driver's seat once more.

Chapter 156 Qian Renxue, completely satisfied

The next day, after waking up and doing a short morning exercise, Bibi Dong finally got out of bed, dressed herself neatly, and went to sort out the mountain of documents piled up in the Papal Palace.

However, when Bibi Dong pushed open the door to the secret room, she was stunned.

A beautiful and slender figure was standing outside the door.

Who else could it be but Qian Renxue?

Looking at Qian Renxue's slightly tired expression, I wonder how long she had been waiting outside the door.

If Bibi Dong hadn't been absolutely confident in the soundproofing of this secret room, she would have even suspected that Qian Renxue had overheard her entire two-hour morning exercise.

When Qian Renxue saw Bibi Dong appear, she immediately perked up, her eyes lit up, and she revealed a sweet smile.

Good morning, Sister Dong'er!

Although Qian Renxue's early morning blocking the door was a bit of a spoilsport, her bright smile made her radiate a lively and sunny aura, which did put Bibi Dong in a good mood.

If she didn't truly love Qian Renxue, how could she have agreed to let Qian Renxue have contact with her beloved?

Good morning, Xue'er.

Bibi Dong's lips curled slightly as she nodded in response to Qian Renxue.

"Sister Dong'er, are you going to the Papal Palace? Then I'll go find my brother-in-law to play."

As Qian Renxue spoke, she was about to slip through the door to the secret room behind Bibi Dong.

But Bibi Dong's expression suddenly darkened, and she grabbed Qian Renxue by the collar, sneering at Qian Renxue's embarrassed look.

"You heartless little brat, your greeting was so insincere. You don't even want to say another word to me. Are you so eager to go find your brother-in-law?"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's expression stiffened, and she explained with an awkward smile.

"Sister Dong'er, you're so busy. I was just worried about bothering you."

"I can't be bothered to expose your little schemes. Forget it, I can't be bothered with you. Go inside and talk to Chen Yao to relieve your boredom."

Bibi Dong was well aware of Qian Renxue's thoughts, but she still didn't make things too difficult for her. When Chen Yao mentioned Qian Renxue, the look of disgust in his eyes showed that he was genuinely annoyed by the brat.

In addition, her arrangement of the room ensured that Chen Yao would not be taken advantage of by Qian Renxue, so he was quite at ease.

"Thank you, Sister Dong'er!"

Qian Renxue was overjoyed to see that Bibi Dong had let Da go so easily. She expressed her gratitude and then ran into the secret room.

Seeing Qian Renxue's impatient manner, Bibi Dong found it rather amusing. What's the use of running so fast if you can't do anything?

After shaking her head with a light laugh, Bibi Dong closed the door to the secret chamber and then walked towards the Papal Palace.

Inside the secret room, Qian Renxue saw Chen Yao, who was still taking a nap, as soon as she entered.

She immediately pounced onto the bed, lay down next to Chen Yao, looked at his alluring face, and called out with a slightly flushed face.

"Brother Chen Yao, get up quickly!"

The extremely loud voice instantly woke Chen Yao, who had just fallen asleep, and he recognized the person who had come.

"Xue'er, go play by yourself, I want to sleep."

Chen Yao said impatiently, while turning over, intending to go back to sleep.

Seeing that Chen Yao ignored her, Qian Renxue puffed up her little face in anger, making her round and adorable.

However, Qian Renxue did not make a sound to disturb them again. Instead, she got up from the bed and looked around at the four corners of the bed where Bibi Dong had set up the devices.

With a slight upturn of her lips, Qian Renxue's soul power surged, and a pure white crown slowly materialized above her head, radiating a holy light.

This is an angelic divine skull that she obtained yesterday with the help of her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, to absorb. It has the power to purify impurities and isolate one's sense of presence.

At this moment, under the shimmering white light, the four devices began to tremble slightly.

After shaking for a few seconds, it suddenly stopped in a strange way.

Upon seeing this, Qian Renxue tentatively stretched out her finger and touched Chen Yao, who was turned to the side.

The next moment, upon skin-to-skin contact, there was no backlash from the evil energy that had been present before.

A look of surprise immediately appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.

She succeeded!

Chen Yao, who was standing to the side, initially thought that Qian Renxue had gone mad like yesterday and did not want to pay attention to her. However, when he felt the touch on her back, he was immediately awakened and turned around to look at Qian Renxue in disbelief.

"You've cracked the method Bibi Dong left behind on these chains?"

Qian Renxue nodded in approval and looked at Chen Yao with a smile.

"How was it, Brother Chen Yao? Was I amazing?"

Chen Yao said excitedly upon hearing this.

"Great! Quick, Xue'er, unlock these chains and take me away from here!"

Chen Yao's eyes were filled with longing. As long as he could get out, and given some time to absorb a little soul power, even just a tiny amount, he would have enough soul power to activate his trump card to ensure his escape.

However, Qian Renxue, who used to be completely obedient to Chen Yao, did not agree immediately. The smile on her delicate face was gone, but her gaze towards Chen Yao carried a hint of amusement.

Qian Renxue braced herself on the bed with both hands, pinning Chen Yao beneath her, her smile carrying a hint of wicked charm.

“Brother Chen Yao, although I don’t want you to be imprisoned here by that old woman forever, at least this place is still within the territory of the Spirit Hall. But if I take you out, it will be difficult for Xue’er to see Brother Chen Yao again.”

As she spoke, Qian Renxue's little hands began to wander, touching this and that, her face full of curiosity and excitement, all while Chen Yao remained stiff in his expression.

Still not satisfied, she curled up again and squeezed into Chen Yao's arms, feeling the sensation of being tightly enveloped by him. Qian Renxue's face was filled with intoxication as she gazed at Chen Yao and said...

"Brother Chen Yao, you still smell as good as ever!"

Feeling the restless Qian Renxue in his arms, Chen Yao pursed his lips.

"Since you won't help me get out of this predicament, aren't you afraid I'll tell Bibi Dong about it? That would be good for her, so she won't let you in to bother me again."

However, Qian Renxue did not panic upon hearing this, and instead raised her head and laughed.

"I believe Brother Chen Yao wouldn't do that, because Xue'er is still young. If Brother Chen Yao puts more effort into Xue'er and doesn't ignore her like before, maybe Xue'er can help Brother Chen Yao."

But if Brother Chen Yao tells Sister Dong'er about this and Sister Dong'er forbids Xue'er from coming in from now on, then Brother Chen Yao, you'll probably be locked up here by Sister Dong'er forever, with no hope whatsoever!

Looking at Qian Renxue, whose exquisite chin rested against his chest and whose beautiful face was perfectly presented in his vision, Chen Yao's eyes flickered with a thoughtful look. After a moment, he sighed softly.

"The old Pope taught you very well."

"Hehe, thank you for the compliment, Brother Chen Yao!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Renxue's face showed a look of satisfaction.

"What do you want me to do? Let me make this clear first: I don't have any soul power right now, so I can't summon my martial soul and can't merge with your martial soul like I did back then."

Chen Yao explained.

“I know that. There’s no rush to fuse martial souls. Right now, you don’t need to do anything. Just obey me.”

Qian Renxue touched her luscious red lips with her finger, a hint of interest flashing in her eyes, and chuckled softly.

"To obey you?"

Chen Yao was taken aback when he heard this. Why did this tone sound so familiar?

So it turns out Qian Renxue and Bibi Dong are exactly the same?

"Um, Xue'er, although you seem no different from those adults now, it's still best not to do this kind of thing."

Therefore, he showed great resistance on the surface and hurriedly tried to persuade Qian Renxue, who seemed to be acting impulsively at the moment.
