Douluo Continent: An Adventure Begins in Wuhun City

"My brother's injury has just healed, so I have to take care of him."

She learned from her grandfather that Bibi Dong was the culprit who prevented her from playing with her brother.

This changed Bibi Dong's image in Qian Renxue's mind from her favorite Dong-jie to the hated Pope Bibi Dong!

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's face darkened, and she was about to reach out to grab it again, saying...

"Chen Yao is fine, he doesn't need you to take care of him. Go play outside and be a good boy."

However, upon seeing Bibi Dong's demonic claws reaching out, Qian Renxue was immediately filled with panic and cried out.

"Brother Chen Yao, save me! I don't want to be separated from you! Waaah!"

Chen Yao's lips twitched at the sight. Just a few days ago, Qian Renxue was extremely protective of Bibi Dong, but today Bibi Dong has become the bad guy.

They really are just kids; they change every day.

Chapter 94 She is still a child

However, looking at the restless Qian Renxue in his arms, Chen Yao also found it somewhat amusing.

He didn't want children in his past life, and he doesn't want them even more in this one. But now that he has a ready-made child to play with, it seems pretty good.

Thinking this, Chen Yao held Qian Renxue in his arms, avoiding Bibi Dong's hand, and complained.

"Alright, she's just a child, she's no problem. Just tell me if you need anything."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's temples bulged with veins, and she practically wanted to point at Chen Yao's head and curse him.

Qian Renxue was like a child to him, but the people behind her didn't see it that way; they practically tied Qian Renxue to him!

But Bibi Dong didn't say anything. Knowing Chen Yao as she did, if she knew, she probably wouldn't be alarmed. Instead, she would be grinning from ear to ear because she had gained a beautiful child bride and a powerful backer.

With a cold snort, Bibi Dong calmed down. Although she found Qian Renxue in Chen Yao's arms extremely annoying, she had no choice but to start talking.

"How old are you?"

"Um...don't you know? Oh right, I've grown a bit over the years, I'm 20 now."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong clenched her jade-like hands and gritted her teeth.

"I'm asking about your bone age!"

At the same time, a hint of doubt and a barely perceptible expectation flashed in his eyes as he muttered to himself.

Chen Yao was already frightening enough back then, and he's still growing. I wonder what he looks like now?

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's eyes flashed with understanding. After pondering for a moment, he finally spoke.

"I think it's 20 years old."

"You're really something. You were almost 20 back then, and you're still 20 now?"

Bibi Dong couldn't stand Chen Yao's unreliability any longer, so she stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yao's hand to feel his bones.

Seeing this, Chen Yao had no choice but to let him ponder it.

He wasn't just talking nonsense. Back then, after his physical body was reshaped in the Nine Nether Immortal Lotus, his bone age stopped increasing.

After all, strictly speaking, he is no longer a completely human being, but a ball of dark energy.

How does energy age?

Sure enough, a moment later, Bibi Dong exclaimed in surprise.

"Really 20? How did you do that?"

Where do you mean?

"Your bone age! Did I touch that part of your bone?!"

Bibi Dong, her face flushed with embarrassment, glared fiercely at Chen Yao and said angrily.

She did want to find out more, but she restrained herself and only touched Chen Yao's bone age without doing anything that would cause Chen Yao to misunderstand.

Chen Yao was clearly doing this on purpose, trying to embarrass her!

Chen Yao looked at Bibi Dong's furious expression and a smile flashed in his eyes. After all, Bibi Dong had sent people to arrest him, so he finally got his revenge.

However, Chen Yao didn't dare to go too far. After teasing him for a while, he answered truthfully.

"If you don't have the gifts of the gods, then you should ask your god."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong was speechless for a moment. She really didn't have any, and then said sourly.

"Isn't it just that my bone age stops growing? Once I break through to the god level, I will naturally be able to live forever, and I won't need this useless ability."

Chen Yao glanced at Bibi Dong's jealous gaze and insincere words, pursed his lips, and then said.

"Alright, what do you want from me?"

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong calmed herself down, put on a serious expression, and said.

"The Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies is about to begin, and you will be representing the Spirit Hall on the field."

Chen Yao was taken aback upon hearing this, and pointed to himself.

"Huh? Me? Go play in the academy tournament? Isn't that bullying?"

"Hmph! Don't tell me you still hold the belief that the strong shouldn't bully the weak?"

Bibi Dong looked at Chen Yao with disdain.

“I really do. Such behavior is despicable. I, Chen Yao, am a man of integrity and would never stoop to such a thing.”

Chen Yaoyi spoke with righteous indignation and stern words.

But then he added another sentence.

"By the way, what are the benefits of representing the Spirit Hall in the competition?"

Bibi Dong crossed her arms, looked at Chen Yao with a cold smile, as if she had known it would happen, and then said.

"A soul bone that suits you."

"Forget it, not interested."

Upon hearing that it was a soul bone, Chen Yao's eyes lost their light, and he waved his hand dismissively, looking utterly bored.

He currently possesses two million-year-old soul bones and one hundred-thousand-year-old soul bone. He truly doesn't believe that the Spirit Hall can offer him any soul bone that suits his taste.

"you try?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao looked up and saw that although Bibi Dong was stunningly beautiful, she was also exuding a cold and sinister smile. His lips twitched, and he sighed helplessly.

"Doesn't the Spirit Hall always have a commanding lead in these kinds of competitions? Why do they insist on having me go, Your Holiness?"

However, Bibi Dong shook her head and said...

"The current generation of leaders at Martial Soul Academy are not particularly outstanding, and this year's Elite Tournament has added another academy, namely the Demon Dragon Academy founded by the Demon Dragon Palace."

The people of the Demon Dragon Palace possess bizarre martial souls and numerous methods. Ordinary soul masters of the same level are no match for them, and this is especially true for the elites selected from within the Demon Dragon Palace Academy.

Therefore, I am not at ease relying solely on those people from the Martial Soul Academy.

Chen Yao was taken aback upon hearing this.

"The Demon Dragon Palace? Those evil soul masters? Why don't you just ban them from the competition?"

"Evil Soul Master? Your description is quite apt. The methods of those people in the Demon Dragon Palace are indeed ruthless and sinister, some even surpassing yours."

Bibi Dong paused slightly upon hearing this, then nodded and said...

Upon hearing this, Chen Yao curled his lip, wondering why Bibi Dong was comparing him to everyone.

However, Bibi Dong's words were not wrong. Although he did not kill people to cultivate like the evil soul masters, the soul beasts in the forest suffered a lot.

Just as Chen Yao was lost in thought, Bibi Dong coughed lightly twice in dissatisfaction.

Seeing that Chen Yao had come to his senses, he continued.

"Although those people from the Demon Dragon Palace acted excessively and were not tolerated by others, they generally operated in the Tian Dou and Xing Luo regions and did not commit crimes within the territory of the Spirit Hall."

Moreover, they acted swiftly and cleanly, leaving no trace. Even though everyone knew it was the Demon Dragon Palace that did it, there was no concrete evidence.

Therefore, the Spirit Hall has no reason to prohibit the Demon Dragon Academy, which was established through legitimate channels, from participating in the competition. So, to uphold the Spirit Hall's prestige, you must participate this time!

Seeing Bibi Dong's resolute attitude, even though Chen Yao was extremely unwilling, he had no choice but to agree.

"alright."

Seeing Chen Yao's listless appearance, Bibi Dong's eyes curved slightly as she chuckled.

"Don't worry, if you help the Spirit Hall achieve victory, the Spirit Hall will not treat you unfairly."

"Yes Yes Yes···"

Chen Yao responded woodenly.

Upon seeing this, Bibi Dong raised an eyebrow and spoke up.

"I know you don't care about the soul bones in the Spirit Hall's inventory. I originally planned to give you the skull of the Dark Abyss Ghost Eye that I happened to obtain when I was out there, as a reward. But looking at you now, it seems like you don't really need it?"

"Yes... um? Who did you say? Dark Abyss Ghost Eye?"

While Chen Yao was being perfunctory, he suddenly looked up and stared at Bibi Dong.

"uh-huh?"

Bibi Dong crossed her arms and hummed softly.

"Hmph! As an elder of the Spirit Hall, I shall naturally fight for the honor of the Spirit Hall. Your Holiness, rest assured, a mere Demon Dragon Hall and a mere group of evil spirit masters cannot cause any trouble!"

Chen Yao put down the bewildered Qian Renxue from his arms, stood up, looked at Bibi Dong with a serious expression, and said righteously.

Chapter 95 Ghostly Apology

With the opening of the Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament, preliminary rounds are gradually unfolding across the continent.

The three upper sects, such as the Clear Sky Sect, have guaranteed admission quotas from the Spirit Hall, allowing them to come directly to Spirit City and wait for teams from various regions to advance before participating in the finals.
