"Tomorrow, that soon?" Bibi Dong suddenly felt a bit reluctant.
She had spent sixteen years with Ao Tian, and already knew of Ao Tian's dragon identity, yet she was hopelessly in love with him.
Although Ao Tian still looked like a little brat, in her heart he was always tall and mighty, forever her support.
Ao Tian transformed into his adult form, holding Bibi Dong in his arms, comforting her: "Didn't I tell you already? A destined child will appear in Douluo Continent. If I don't act, the future Spirit Hall will be destroyed by this destined child."
Bibi Dong nestled into Ao Tian's arms and said, "Then why don't you just find him and kill him? Why go to such a remote place to study?"
Ao Tian stroked the beauty's hair in his arms, like petting a gentle kitten, and said:
"I just want to see what this so-called destiny really is, what kind of ability it has."
"Alright then, you have to come back to see me often." Bibi Dong pouted and acted coquettish.
This ruthless and iron-blooded female Spirit Hall leader, who once nearly destroyed the continent's top sect, the Hao Tian Sect, only showed this little-girl side in front of Ao Tian.
Ao Tian kissed her gorgeous red lips lightly and said, "Don't worry, no matter what I forget, I'll never forget you."
Bibi Dong's pretty face blushed and a rosy glow rose.
"By the way, I sent someone to check and found that Yu Xiaogang is also in Notting City Spirit Master Academy." Bibi Dong suddenly said.
"You still remember him?" Ao Tian glanced at Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong panicked and quickly said, "Don't misunderstand, I gave up on him after that incident years ago. I heard after he was expelled from the Spirit Hall, he traveled the continent and met a woman named Liu Erlong. When they got married, Yu Xiaogang suddenly found out Liu Erlong was his cousin, so he abandoned the woman who deeply loved him and hid in Notting City for more than ten years."
"I know that." Ao Tian said, "If you don't love, then say it clearly face to face. Breaking up but remaining friends is fine. Him avoiding and not cutting emotional ties, causing pain for more than ten years, Yu Xiaogang is less than a real man."
Bibi Dong nodded and said, "You're right. I heard he couldn't accept that his lover was his cousin, but on Douluo Continent, this kind of thing is not taboo. Many powerful forces maintain the purity of spirit bloodlines, and some royal or noble families preserve noble bloodlines. As long as they're not siblings, it's not too strict. Poor Liu Erlong searched for Yu Xiaogang desperately for years."
Ao Tian said, "So Yu Xiaogang is quite selfish, only considering himself. If he really loved Liu Erlong, he wouldn't let her suffer for over ten years. He neither lets go nor dares to love — what kind of man is that?"
"Enough about him. You're going into Notting Spirit Master Academy. Do you have a spirit beast?" Bibi Dong asked.
After so many years together, she had never seen Ao Tian unleash a spirit beast.
Nowadays, spirit beasts that are a hundred thousand years old can transform into humans, and the transformed spirit beast is the original beast itself.
Although Ao Tian is an ancient dragon, it should be the same, right?
"That's simple." Ao Tian smiled, set Bibi Dong down, and stood by the bed.
Divine power surged inside him, and a golden divine dragon formed behind him. The dragon was not large, but each paw had nine claws. A terrifying pressure radiated, making Bibi Dong's soul tremble.
"Too strong." Bibi Dong rolled her eyes and said, "If you use this spirit beast in a beginner academy, wouldn't you scare all the teachers to death?"
"Then let it be weaker." Ao Tian laughed, and with his will, the dragon behind him gradually faded, becoming somewhat illusory, and the pressure weakened significantly.
Bibi Dong got off the bed and curiously touched the dragon behind Ao Tian. Because it was illusory, the touch didn't feel real.
"Is this really your spirit beast?" she asked curiously.
Ao Tian shook his head, "I'm not human, I don't have a spirit beast. This is just formed from my divine power."
Then, a spirit ring appeared on him, then two, three...
Before long, ten golden spirit rings circled him.
Bibi Dong widened her eyes, shocked.
Seeing her expression, Ao Tian smiled:
"These are fake. I can have as many as I want." He increased the spirit rings rapidly — dozens, hundreds... eventually too many to count.
"Put them away, put them away." Bibi Dong urged.
The dense golden glow from the spirit rings made her head dizzy.
They sat back down by the bed.
"By the way, it's been a while since you saw Xiao Xue. When you have time, go see her." Bibi Dong said.
"Don't worry, I'll bring her back on her birthday." Ao Tian said.
Bringing someone back from Tiandou City was just a blink of an eye for him.
For the past few years, Qian Renxue had been hiding in the Tiandou royal family. Every birthday, Ao Tian would bring her back to celebrate.
Bibi Dong suddenly poked Ao Tian and said, "That little girl is already fifteen. Last time you brought her back, she looked at you differently. Do you think she likes you now? She always treated you like a brother before."
Bibi Dong pouted.
She had liked Ao Tian since her youth, so she sensed when Qian Renxue started showing signs.
Ao Tian found it amusing, tapped her lips, teasing, "She could hang a bottle on herself now, which girl isn't lovestruck? I'm so handsome, if she likes me it's no surprise. Are you jealous?"
"Hmph, jealous of a little girl?" Bibi Dong snorted, "Go to sleep!"
They changed into pajamas and lay down together.
Ao Tian reverted to his true form, resting his head comfortably on Bibi Dong's chest.
Bibi Dong said, "When you grow up a bit, then we'll do that."
Ao Tian rubbed his head against her like a kitten, eyes half-closed in comfort, softly "Mm."
Morning. A luxurious carriage departed Spirit City, heading west.
Ao Tian could fly and teleport, but he liked riding carriages, enjoying human life.
He rode alone with no attendants.
At carriage speed, it took five to six days to reach the southwestern border small city of Tiandou Empire — Notting City.
Ao Tian knew the Douluo Continent storyline and had the power to stop anything bad happening to Bibi Dong.
But he wanted to see what this destined child Tang San could really do — if he was truly destined.
He recalled disliking Tang San when reading the book in his previous life.
So he planned to have an unfair showdown with Tang San...
The carriage bounced along, and on the fifth day, they finally arrived in Notting City.
Bibi Dong had already sent news ahead, so the Spirit Hall branch master personally came out to welcome Ao Tian respectfully and escorted him inside.
Because of Bibi Dong's order, the six- or seven-year-old Ao Tian had become the decision-maker of the Notting City Spirit Hall branch.
