Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

Bibi Dong forced a smile and spoke.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly.

"Do you know that it's because you have that broken martial soul that Chen Yao, that beast, has been able to torment me so relentlessly? And you're still gloating? You're something else!"

Meanwhile, Chen Yao, having finished his act, remained silent and stayed quietly to the side.

With a discreet gaze, he admired the red-haired woman's incredibly alluring figure, ignoring the tug-of-war between Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang.

"Thank you for your kind words. By the way, Dong'er, let me introduce you. This is Liu Erlong, whom I met in Wuhun City. She is a level 47 Beast Soul Master with a strong attack ability."

Upon hearing this, Liu Erlong stepped forward, extended his hand, and said.

"Hello, my name is Liu Erlong. You must be the Holy Maiden that Xiaogang mentioned, right? Although I am not as strong as you now, I believe that with Xiaogang's guidance, I will definitely be able to catch up with you!"

Liu Erlong smiled broadly, but there was a hint of provocation in his eyes.

She met this man with a decadent and profound air in a tavern in Wuhun City, and was inexplicably attracted to him, wanting to understand him.

After sitting down and having a long talk, Liu Erlong was impressed by the other party's erudition, and felt sorry for Yu Xiaogang because of the Bibi Dong incident.

This made her have a very bad impression of Bibi Dong and even the Spirit Hall.

Chapter 23 Parting, Entering the Forest

Liu Erlong was angry at the harm that Bibi Dong had caused to Yu Xiaogang, and also jealous of Yu Xiaogang's feelings for Bibi Dong.

Although Yu Xiaogang said he only felt anger and hatred towards Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, as a woman, could naturally sense that Yu Xiaogang still couldn't forget Bibi Dong.

She felt sorry for Yu Xiaogang and wanted to prove that Bibi Dong was not good enough for him, and that Liu Erlong was the right choice for Yu Xiaogang!

Meanwhile, as Liu Erlong spoke to Bibi Dong, Yu Xiaogang's gaze was fixed on the expression on Bibi Dong's face.

Just as Liu Erlong had guessed, Yu Xiaogang indeed couldn't forget Bibi Dong.

At first, Yu Xiaogang's attitude towards Bibi Dong was mostly one of exploitation. He wanted to use her identity to access the knowledge of the Spirit Hall and solve his own problems.

If his separation from Bibi Dong had been uneventful, he would at most feel depressed and regretful.

But that night, he was heartbroken and even became obsessed with it.

He believed that since their love had been so deep, Bibi Dong would never forget him easily. So at this moment, he couldn't wait to see what would happen after Bibi Dong learned of Liu Erlong's existence.

What kind of expression would she have?

Anger? Resentment? Or perhaps regret?

To Yu Xiaogang's disappointment, Bibi Dong remained calm, a gentle smile playing on her lips. She calmly extended her hand and clasped Liu Erlong's hand.

"Hello, my name is Bibi Dong. Xiao Gang is a very good man. You will be happy."

Just as Liu Erlong had keen intuition, how could Bibi Dong not see Liu Erlong's feelings for Yu Xiaogang?

But she wasn't jealous; instead, she felt relieved and at peace.

She had already seen through it all; she had been blinded by love before and taken things for granted.

The distance between her and Yu Xiaogang was simply too great, with the Spirit Hall as an insurmountable obstacle in between.

Furthermore, she has now been thoroughly defiled by Chen Yao countless times, inside and out.

It's completely impossible for her to be with Yu Xiaogang anymore.

This is not the fault of either of them; it can only be said that they were destined to be apart.

Now, Yu Xiaogang has met Liu Erlong, who is not only beautiful but also powerful and able to protect him. This has put Bibi Dong at ease, and she no longer needs to worry about him.

Now she can focus on dealing with Chen Yao.

Thinking of Chen Yao, Bibi Dong subconsciously glanced to her side.

But just one glance was enough to make Bibi Dong furious.

That beast Chen Yao, his eyes practically glued to Liu Erlong's proud, large breasts!

For a moment, Bibi Dong's face darkened. She had originally thought highly of Liu Erlong, but suddenly felt that Liu Erlong was a menace. For Xiao Gang's sake, why not just let Liu Erlong disappear?

"We still need to hunt for spirit rings, so we'll head out first."

Bibi Dong released Liu Erlong's hand, her expression indifferent, even cold, and her tone displeased. She then headed into the forest.

But then Yu Xiaogang spoke up again.

"Dong'er, we're also going to the outer areas to hunt for spirit rings this time. How about we go together?"

"No need, it's not on my way."

Bibi Dong responded coldly and walked towards the forest path without looking back.

Seeing this, Chen Yao was puzzled as to why Bibi Dong didn't take this opportunity to get to know Yu Xiaogang better, but he could only blink regretfully, bid farewell to the beautiful scenery before him, and then follow closely behind.

Yu Xiaogang was left standing there, looking embarrassed.

"Xiao Gang..."

Liu Erlong, who was standing to the side, spoke up weakly at this moment.

Yu Xiaogang suddenly realized what was happening and forced a smile at Liu Erlong.

“Erlong, don’t misunderstand. I was thinking that Bibi Dong is much stronger than us. If we could travel together, it would be much safer. But since she’s unwilling, then forget it. I think if we’re careful, nothing will happen.”

"So this is ah!"

Upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's explanation, Liu Erlong's tense expression immediately eased, replaced by a look of delight.

"Of course, as I said, I no longer have the same feelings for Bibi Dong as before."

Yu Xiaogang spoke, but his eyes kept glancing in the direction where Bibi Dong and the others had disappeared, his emotions hard to decipher.

……

Upon entering the outer perimeter of the Star Dou Great Forest, century-old soul beasts began to appear one after another. Chen Yao also put away his previous carefree attitude and became focused, carefully identifying the soul beasts he saw and searching for a suitable soul ring for himself.

However, as the opposite of light, the dark attribute makes these kinds of soul beasts extremely rare. There are so few soul beasts with pure dark attribute that we haven't even come across one.

On the first day, Bibi Dong and Chen Yao gained nothing and could only find a campsite to set up camp.

As a saintess, Bibi Dong naturally had an exquisite tent for going out.

Chen Yao, not one to endure hardship, could only shamelessly sneak into the Holy Maiden's tent to rest.

Silent all night.

The next morning, Bibi Dong emerged from the tent, a faint smile playing on her lips, as if the resentment she felt towards Liu Erlong the previous day had been soothed.

A moment later, Chen Yao, supporting his back and yawning, slowly walked out of the tent.

However, at this moment, he had an expression of utter disbelief about life.

Last night, perhaps provoked by Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong, Bibi Dong, who usually endures everything silently, suddenly started shouting out of character.

How could Chen Yao tolerate this?

She immediately summoned the two tentacles of her martial soul and went all out. But this time, even when she reached her limit, Bibi Dong did not admit defeat at all, and looked like she was going to perish together with Chen Yao.

Finally, after they were completely exhausted, they fell into a deep sleep.

Bibi Dong, as a woman, is also a Soul Emperor.

After just one night's rest, I was almost fully recovered, and even felt refreshed.

On the other hand, Chen Yao was listless, his soul power had not yet recovered, and he looked like he had been overdrawn.

Seeing Chen Yao's expression, Bibi Dong's lips curled up uncontrollably, and she sneered.

"What? It's not working already?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao abruptly turned his head, stared at Bibi Dong, and grinned with a sinister smile.

"Whether it works or not, we'll only know by trying. Do you want to try now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, two more pitch-black tentacles appeared under Chen Yao's feet.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong's heart skipped a beat, and fear flashed in her eyes.

Although she was almost certain that Chen Yao had not yet recovered, she still dared not take the risk.

Although she feels better now, she still can't withstand another one.

Chapter 24 Did Yu Xiaogang discover the truth?

At this moment, both of them fell silent, and the atmosphere became somewhat awkward.

Neither of them spoke first, fearing that they might accidentally reignite the war and harm themselves and others.

"Whizzing!"

However, just then, a strange noise came from the bushes nearby, distracting the two of them.

Chen Yao's expression darkened, and he quietly retreated behind Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong was quite self-aware, standing in front of Chen Yao, her eyebrows slightly raised, staring intently at the swaying bushes.

Under the watchful eyes of Bibi Dong and the other person, the thicket of trees was slowly peeled away, and then two figures emerged.

Upon closer inspection, who else could it be but Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong?

"You...you're with us?"

Bibi Dong was taken aback when she saw the two of them, and then slowly withdrew her pent-up soul power and spoke.

Upon hearing this, a hint of unease flashed across Liu Erlong's face, but she remained silent. Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, showed no sign of embarrassment and stepped forward, saying...

“Dong’er, the soul power you left behind along the way was too obvious, and the soul beasts along the path also avoided it. We followed your footsteps to reduce a lot of trouble, so we did this. If you feel offended, Erlong and I apologize.”

His words and actions were proper, yet carried a hint of aloofness. Yu Xiaogang did not believe that Bibi Dong, who had once loved him deeply, would truly forget him. He wanted to provoke Bibi Dong's rebellious psychology, and even the slightest emotional fluctuation would be enough.

"It wouldn't be considered offensive."

However, Bibi Dong's expression remained completely calm. She simply shook her head slightly and then said...
