Chapter 27: Bibi Dong actually wanted to marry her daughter
"What, you want me to kiss you?"
Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes widened, almost thinking she had heard wrong, and the jade hand holding Tang San's arm couldn't help but tremble.
"Ah…"
Tang San pretended to be in pain and cried softly, looking at Bibi Dong with some fear.
"What's wrong, can't I? Sister…"
"Of course not, Xiao San, how can you have such an idea?"
Bibi Dong decisively rejected Tang San because she had never taken the initiative to kiss someone in her life, including more than ten years ago, but she seemed to pinch Tang San and hurt him, so she immediately let go.
At this time, Bibi Dong was sitting on the bed where Tang San slept last night. That noble and beautiful face seemed to have regained its previous coldness, and there was also a faint sense of fierceness. A pair of beautiful eyes stared at Tang San.
"Ah… That's a pity. Actually, I just want to feel the feeling of my mother kissing me in my dream. Sister, you should look very similar to my mother."
Tang San pretended to look innocent and looked at Bibi Dong, but he was thinking in his heart.
"Although it is not the task of the anti-routine system to let Sister Bibi Dong kiss me, I still want to take a gamble, so that it will be easier to take her down in the future…"
Then, Tang San shook his head and said,
"In that case, I can't be Sister's direct disciple, because I haven't found my mother yet, or the woman who treats me like a mother…"
"What… stinky brat, you dare to reject me, do you know who Sister is?"
This time it was Bibi Dong's turn to be shocked. As the Pope of the Spirit Hall, it was an unparalleled honor to become her direct disciple. She didn't expect that the little boy in front of her would reject her for such a reason. The gentleness on her face disappeared instantly, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Tang San became as if she wanted to eat someone.
Noticing the change in Bibi Dong's eyes, Tang San couldn't help but panic. In fact, if the system elf hadn't clearly told him that he would be protected during the mission, he would never dare to take such a gamble.
But now, since the words had been said, Tang San had to continue pretending. In addition, he could see that although Bibi Dong was a little angry on the surface, she was still angry like a big sister. After all, even with Bibi Dong's personality in the anime, she would not casually attack a little boy who had entered her heart.
Thinking in his heart, Tang San hurriedly said.
"I know that sister is very powerful? But I need a teacher who treats me well like the mother in my dreams… Sister, why can't you kiss me?"
After Tang San finished speaking, he took the initiative to grab Bibi Dong's jade hand again, approached Bibi Dong's delicate body, and pretended to look at her pitifully.
There was no way. In front of other people, Tang San could be invincible, but in front of Bibi Dong, now he could only pretend to be cute.
Looking at Tang San's eager and aggrieved eyes, Bibi Dong seemed to really believe it. At least she didn't think that the boy in front of her had any bad intentions. It should be that he was just too lacking in love since childhood.
It's not that Bibi Dong has no vision; it's mainly because people in Douluo Continent are not very good at acting. There are no anime and TV dramas here, so they were deceived by Tang San, a young man from Earth.
Bibi Dong thought about it, pursed her red lips with some entanglement, and said.
"Because my sister already has a daughter, even if I am your teacher, I can't kiss you casually…"
At this moment, Bibi Dong felt that Tang San, who was holding her jade hand tightly, was like her child, so she couldn't help but think of her daughter Qian Ren Xue again.
"Daughter? My sister actually has a daughter…"
Tang San pretended to be happy and said quickly.
"Sister's daughter shouldn't be much older than me, right? Then why don't you kiss me, so that when I become your direct disciple, I can help your daughter well. Sister, you should have seen my strength just now. In fact, I have been strong since I was a child, but the main reason is my Blue Silver Grass first spirit skill, which can increase my strength by 80%, so I was able to punch that bad guy away just now…"
"Strength increased by 80%… Isn't your Blue Silver Grass just level 20? How is this possible?"
Bibi Dong looked at Tang San as if he were a monster and suddenly remembered the strength that the boy had just displayed. She felt that if all this came from a naturally strong physique, it seemed unlikely.
"Yeah… I don't know what's going on. My first spirit ring is only a little over 200 years old, but it gave me this powerful spirit skill. If you don't believe me, I'll show it to you…"
As he spoke, Tang San took a step back, took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, and released the brilliant Blue Silver Emperor.
Then, the first yellow spirit ring rising under Tang San's feet instantly lit up.
"The first soul skill, Blue Silver Amplification…"
A blue halo suddenly emerged from the dazzling Blue Silver Emperor, and this time it entered Bibi Dong's body.
Feeling the surging power in her body, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes became even more incredible. With her realm, she could of course instantly sense the increase in power.
"My Blue Silver Grass First Spirit Skill can now increase my strength by 80% if used on myself, and it should be able to increase it by 60% if used on others… In short, this should be a very powerful auxiliary spirit skill. My father was also shocked when he saw it and said that I was born to be a good blacksmith."
Tang San scratched his head, pretending to be confused, and then retracted his martial spirit again, looking at Bibi Dong in front of him with shyness and said.
"Since my sister has a daughter, then when I grow up, I can be her exclusive assistant. If possible, I hope my sister can marry her to me in the future, so that my sister will… really be my mother in the future…"
In fact, Tang San was a little too innocent at this time. It was not until the words came out of his mouth that he suddenly realized that it was not good. It seemed that he said it a little too early.
But Bibi Dong, who was originally sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, suddenly stood up when she heard this and looked down at Tang San with her 1.80-meter tall figure. Then she reached out and touched Tang San's little head, a mysterious smile appeared on her face, and said,
"Your talent is not used to be a blacksmith like your father. Very good, Xiao San… If you have enough ambition, you are worthy of being my direct disciple. As long as you can really impress my daughter in the future, sister can of course marry her to you, and as you wish, make her your… But you have to promise me that from now on you will always follow the Spirit Hall, follow me, and listen to me, understand?"
"Huh? Bibi Dong actually agreed… She… What is she doing?"
Tang San was a little confused about Bibi Dong's thoughts at this time. He just felt that the mysterious smile on Bibi Dong's face was a little strange, as if she was setting up her daughter Qian Ren Xue.
"Sister Bibi Dong, are you… trying to use my Blue Silver Grass to harm Qian Ren Xue's angel bloodline? That's why…"
Tang San didn't have time to think about it and quickly pretended to be happy and responded.
"I can be obedient, sister… then did you promise to kiss me? And you also promised to marry your daughter to me in the future…"
"Of course…"
Bibi Dong pursed her red lips lightly and said to Tang San with her beautiful eyes teasingly.
"When you become my direct disciple, you can be worthy of her, and even in the future, you and her can be said to be well matched, you are from my Pope's Palace, and she is from the Elders' Palace… so, as long as you promise to listen to me obediently, I can make your wish come true."
At this point, Bibi Dong's jade hand touched Tang San's little face again, but this time, her thoughts seemed to be different. While stroking Tang San's little face, she whispered to herself.
"You look pretty good. I think my daughter might like you in the future, Xiao San…"
"Uh… this…"
Tang San raised his chin nervously. He didn't understand what was going on but, after thinking about it, he decided to agree first. Anyway, it wasn't a bad thing.
Of course, it couldn't be a bad thing. It was a buy-one-get-one-free deal.
So after pretending to be confused for a few seconds, Tang San quickly said to Bibi Dong with a happy face.
"Okay, I promise sister, from now on I will always follow you and listen to you… but…"
At this moment, Tang San suddenly thought of a question and continued to speak.
"Then when I meet sister's daughter in the future, should I listen to her or you, sister?"
"Of course you will listen to sister… Xiao San, because I will treat you well like your mother, so in the future you must listen to me, and then stay with my daughter and let her like you…"
Bibi Dong said, touching Tang San's face again, looking at Tang San deeply with her beautiful eyes, and then slowly leaning over, her noble red lips slowly approaching Tang San's forehead.

*What did Bibi Dong mean?*
Bibi Dong's agreement to Tang San's bold request and her surprising willingness to consider marrying her daughter, Qian Ren Xue, to him in the future reveal a complex mix of motives, shaped by her position as the Pope of the Spirit Hall and her personal emotions. Her actions suggest several layers of intent:
1. *Strategic Alliance*: Bibi Dong sees Tang San's extraordinary talent, particularly his Blue Silver Emperor's 80% strength amplification at level 20, as a valuable asset. By accepting him as her direct disciple and tying him to the Spirit Hall through a potential marriage with Qian Ren Xue, she ensures his loyalty and strengthens the Spirit Hall's power. Tang San's potential, combined with Qian Ren Xue's angelic bloodline, could create a formidable alliance, uniting the Pope's Palace and the Elders' Palace under her influence.
2. *Emotional Connection*: Bibi Dong's interactions with Tang San have stirred maternal feelings, likely because of her strained relationship with her daughter, Qian Ren Xue, whom she hasn't seen in years. Tang San's innocent demeanor and need for a mother-like figure resonate with her, softening her usually cold and authoritative nature. By suggesting a future marriage, she may be projecting her desire to keep Tang San close, almost as a surrogate son, while also securing a promising future for her daughter.
3. *Political Maneuvering*: Bibi Dong's mention of Tang San being from the Pope's Palace and Qian Ren Xue from the Elders' Palace hints at a deeper political strategy. The Spirit Hall has internal factions, and a marriage between Tang San and Qian Ren Xue could bridge these divides, consolidating her authority. Her teasing comment about them being "well matched" suggests she sees Tang San's potential to rise within the Spirit Hall, making him a suitable partner for Qian Ren Xue, who is destined to inherit the Angel God position.
4. *Testing Tang San*: Bibi Dong's agreement to kiss Tang San and her playful response to his marriage proposal may also be a test of his character and ambition. By challenging him to "impress" Qian Ren Xue and remain loyal to her, she's gauging whether Tang San has the resolve and cunning to navigate the complex dynamics of the Spirit Hall. Her mysterious smile and teasing tone suggest she's intrigued by his boldness and wants to see how far he can go.
However, Tang San's suspicion that Bibi Dong might be using his Blue Silver Grass to "harm" Qian Ren Xue's angel bloodline seems unlikely. Bibi Dong's actions, while strategic, appear driven by a genuine fondness for Tang San and a desire to secure a powerful ally for her daughter, not to undermine her. Instead, her agreement to the kiss and the marriage proposal reflects a calculated move to bind Tang San to her side, ensuring his loyalty while fostering a connection that could benefit both her and Qian Ren Xue in the future.
As for the kiss, Bibi Dong's decision to lean in and kiss Tang San's forehead signifies her acceptance of his request, albeit with a maternal rather than romantic intent. It's a compromise that satisfies Tang San's wish for a mother-like gesture while maintaining her dignity as the Pope. This moment cements Tang San's position as her disciple and sets the stage for his integration into the Spirit Hall, with the tantalizing prospect of a future with Qian Ren Xue.
