Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

……

After leaving Bibi Dong's house, Chen Yao arrived at the exquisite little building across the street. This was the residence that Chen Yao had asked Bibi Dong to apply for from the Pope. However, because he had been indulging in pleasure during the day recently, he spent the night at Bibi Dong's house.

He's never even been to his own new home before!

Inserting the key and pushing open the door, Chen Yao was quite satisfied with the exquisite interior decoration, and even his earlier gloom subsided considerably.

"Indeed, this is where I will rise to become a powerful figure. From this day forward, I will not leave this gate until I reach level 20!"

Chen Yao made a silent vow in his heart, then sat cross-legged on the soft bed and began to refine his soul power, something he hadn't done in a long time...

Half an hour later, someone spotted our Chief Steward Chen at Tianxiang Tower.

At this moment, he had a beautiful woman in his left arm and chopsticks in his right hand, picking up a piece of crystal-clear meat.

When it comes to cultivation, you need to be well-fed before you have the energy to cultivate, right?

……

Late at night, Bibi Dong paced back and forth in her home, glancing at the clock from time to time, her expression complex and her mind uneasy.

"Damn beast, it's already half an hour later than usual, why haven't they come yet?"

Bibi Dong was conflicted. She kept telling herself that she was so anxious because she was afraid that if she went to sleep early, Chen Yao would suddenly attack again and disturb her sleep.

Suddenly, as if she had thought of something, Bibi Dong raised her eyebrows, quickly walked to the window, and looked in the direction of the small building she had applied for for Chen Yao.

Sure enough, the lights were on full display!

"Has he found a new love?"

Bibi Dong's brows furrowed suddenly. Clearly, in her mind, Chen Yao's sudden absence from her could not be due to anything serious.

Logically, she should feel relieved, since she no longer has to be defiled by that beast.

But for some reason, a sudden impulse welled up inside her, wanting to rush to Chen Yao's house immediately and tear all the female creatures in his house to shreds!

But Bibi Dong clearly didn't want to admit the bitterness in her heart, even though she was all alone there.

"Hmph, that's good, saves me from having this beast disturb my peace and quiet!"

Bibi Dong looked at the bright little building with a gloomy expression, sneered, turned around, and walked towards the bedroom, swaying her increasingly voluptuous and graceful figure.

That night, Bibi Dong was not by that gradually familiar figure or warm body temperature.

At the same time, images of Chen Yao making love with a beautiful woman kept flashing through her mind.

This caused Bibi Dong's emotions to fluctuate greatly, sometimes soaring with hatred, sometimes sinking into depression and unable to calm her grief. This left her exhausted, yet she couldn't sleep all night!

The next morning, Bibi Dong finally couldn't stay awake any longer. She got out of bed, walked to the window, and, with dark circles under her eyes, looked at the small house where the light had never gone out all night. She gritted her teeth and said...

"Damn beast, just you wait! Next time, even if you kneel on the ground and beg me, you won't be able to set foot in this place again!"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong dragged her exhausted body and staggered toward the bed.

……

Just as Bibi Dong was filled with anticipation, wanting to see Chen Yao's regretful expression after being stopped outside the house, a whole month had already passed!

During this month, apart from that small house with its lights on every night, there was not a single word from Chen Yao. He seemed to be dead!

At this moment, Bibi Dong's dark circles were even more pronounced than a month ago, and she was disheveled, clearly in poor spirits.

She walked to that huge floor-to-ceiling window again, the one she had stopped, lingered, and gazed at countless times this month.

Her jade-like hands clenched tightly, and behind her seemed to be a wisp of black mist formed from resentment, so dense that it almost solidified, sending chills down one's spine.

A hint of resentment flickered in his eyes as he stared intently at the small house with its lights on not far from the window, his mind preoccupied with some terrifying thoughts.

Chapter 18 The Shadow, Bibi Dong Arrives at the Door

However, what Bibi Dong didn't know was that while she was staring at Chen Yao's hut...

Somewhere in the void, a figure was enveloped in a black mist composed of the most extreme negative emotions in the world, making it impossible to discern its reality from its illusion.

Only a pair of shimmering purple eyes, filled with an eerie quality, were visible.

His gaze pierced through the layers of chaos and landed on Bibi Dong.

"Strange, I clearly checked her. This woman has an extremely stubborn personality. Judging from her current behavior, her negative emotions should have reached their limit by now. Why hasn't she reached the standard for the divine test yet?"

"Could it be that because her lover is being coerced and has reservations, she is unable to fully release the evil thoughts and hatred in her heart, which is why her negative emotions are unable to break through?"

Looking at Bibi Dong's figure, a look of doubt flickered in her eerie purple eyes as she muttered to herself.

"This is far too slow. Even if I were to break the rules and send down a divine test ahead of time, guiding her to kill that brat, she probably still wouldn't accept it..."

"I knew I shouldn't have let that kid cause trouble last time. I should have stuck to the original plan and let that descendant of the angel god do these things..."

"But the descendant of the angel god is too conspicuous. If I act rashly and corrupt his spirit, and if that bastard Shura discovers that I'm interfering in the human world..."

As he muttered to himself, a conflicted look appeared in the shadowy figure's eyes, and he seemed quite troubled.

"Sigh, well, we've waited all these years, what's one more time? If it really doesn't work after a while, then we'll risk attacking the descendants of the angel god..."

Finally, the dark figure gazed deeply at Bibi Dong one last time, then shook its head, sighed, and vanished into the void...

……

Three more months passed, and Chen Yao still made no move. This caused Bibi Dong's original resentment to dissipate, replaced by a heart full of doubt.

Even if Chen Yao was held back by some vixen, it was absolutely impossible for him not to step out of the door for four months.

You should know that even the gentle embrace of the most beautiful woman in Wuhun City couldn't hold Chen Yao's heart.

Although Chen Yao used to come to see her every night, he wished he could stay close to her stomach while sleeping.

But during the day, he was nowhere to be seen; he had gone to the Tianxiang Pavilion to live a life of debauchery!

How could such a scoundrel possibly stay obediently at home?

As for whether Chen Yao will find a woman even more beautiful than Bibi Dong and be completely captivated by her, that remains to be seen.

Bibi Dong scoffed at this conjecture.

She wasn't narcissistic, but in terms of looks, she had truly never seen a woman in her life who could compare to her.

Where could Chen Yao find a woman more beautiful than her?

Even if they really find her, what merit does that little beast Chen Yao have to win the heart of a beauty?

With his laughable level 11 soul power?

In conclusion, Bibi Dong increasingly felt that Chen Yao's seclusion was fraught with suspicion!

"Could something have happened to him?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, startling her.

But on second thought, this guess isn't impossible.

After all, when Chen Yao created the second martial soul for Yu Xiaogang, he looked like he was terminally ill. Although he was lively and energetic again the next day, it was hard to say whether he had any aftereffects!

For a time, this thought lingered in Bibi Dong's mind and wouldn't go away.

Logically speaking, she should be gloating and feeling extremely satisfied when Chen Yao got into trouble.

But for some reason, she suddenly felt as if her heart was being gripped tightly by a large hand, unable to beat or breathe.

Immediately, Bibi Dong could no longer sit still.

"No, I have to go check. Xiao Gang's life is still in this guy's hands! What if he knows he's going to die soon and tries to take Xiao Gang down with him?"

Bibi Dong repeatedly warned herself that she was worried about Yu Xiaogang's safety before rushing out of her house and heading towards Chen Yao's courtyard.

"Bang bang bang!"

Upon arriving at Chen Yao's house, Bibi Dong swung her fist and slammed it heavily against the wooden door, but there was no sound coming from inside.

This immediately confirmed Bibi Dong's suspicions.

If Chen Yao were really at home with someone, there would definitely be some noise.

Knowing that Chen Yao hadn't done anything reckless brought comfort to Bibi Dong's tormented heart.

In an instant, her heart felt as if it were coated with icing sugar, and she felt sweet all over.

But at the same time, a hint of worry, which she herself was unaware of, flashed in her eyes.

There is no doubt that he is there.

"boom!"

Bibi Dong stretched out her pair of flawless, perfectly rounded legs from under her cheongsam and kicked Chen Yao's door to pieces!

With her high heels crunching over the broken wood chips, Bibi Dong entered Chen Yao's house, her gaze sweeping around as she looked at everything.

The room showed signs of having been lived in, but it was clean and tidy, without any mess or unpleasant odors.

Bibi Dong nodded subtly, a slight smile playing on her lips, clearly pleased with herself.

Although there was nothing unusual inside the house, Chen Yao was still nowhere to be seen, leaving Bibi Dong with a lingering sense of unease.

But suddenly, Bibi Dong sensed a faint soul force rising and swirling inside the room.

This soul power fluctuation was very weak, only around level ten, and couldn't even penetrate the house. In addition, Bibi Dong was in a hurry when she came in and didn't pay special attention, which is why it was overlooked.

As for the owner of this soul power, it's already obvious—it's clearly that little trash Chen Yao.

After sensing this soul power, Bibi Dong felt a little more at ease. Following the fluctuations of this soul power, she slowly walked to the bedroom.

Bibi Dong didn't bother to knock and simply pushed the door open.

The moment she pushed open the door, the scene inside left Bibi Dong momentarily stunned.

Inside the bedroom, Chen Yao lay on the bed with his legs crossed and his eyes closed. A faint aura of soul power swirled and rose around him.

At the same time, a mass of darkness condensed beneath him, and the two dark tentacles that had given Bibi Dong a nightmare-like experience also appeared, writhing and baring their fangs around him.

Chen Yao's state was all too familiar to every Soul Master; it was the state Soul Masters were in when they summoned their Martial Soul and refined their Soul Power.

What truly shocked Bibi Dong was that during this time, she had endured so much mental anguish, paranoia, and sleepless nights.

So Chen Yao just stayed at home and cultivated obediently?!
