Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Bonds and Schemes

Qian Daoliu and Golden Crocodile Douluo walked silently toward the Martial Soul Temple, their footsteps echoing in the quiet corridors of Spirit Hall. Golden Crocodile broke the silence, his voice low. "Big Brother, why do you favor Bibi Dong so much?" Daoliu's gaze softened, a sigh escaping him. "Brother, it's clear the twins adore her. She's the one to guide them rightfully. Causing her more trouble would harm Spirit Hall's future."

Golden Crocodile nodded, his thoughts drifting. "She was such a bright, cheerful girl—our favorite candy girl among the temple's grandpas. But after Xunji's incident..." He trailed off, sighing. Daoliu's expression darkened. "I'm helpless, brother. My son's rash decision changed her. If they'd cultivated feelings, it might've been different. I sense her hatred for him—fierce, burning. One day, she'll make him pay, but she's too weak now." He paused, thinking, I must correct Xunji's behavior, or it'll endanger Spirit Hall.

Golden Crocodile glanced at him. "Did you warn the maids and healers about secrecy? The heirs' safety matters." Daoliu shook his head, regret flickering. "I was lost in thoughts of the future and neglected it." He spread his Limit Douluo aura, locating the two maids and three healers. Through telepathy, he commanded, "Do not disclose the twins' identities, or the consequences will be fatal." The five, startled, bowed slightly, responding in their minds, "Your Majesty, we'll tell no one." Daoliu's tension eased. "It's done," he told Golden Crocodile, who nodded calmly. "All good, then."

Outside the temple, the two maids and three healers had been chatting excitedly, their voices bubbling with awe. "The twins are so cute!" the junior maid whispered. "And we saw the Grand Worshipper himself!" the level 76 healer added, marveling at Daoliu's power. Their chatter halted as Daoliu's command reached them. They replied solemnly, the air turning heavy. The level 84 healer spoke firmly, "We can't tell anyone." The others nodded, dispersing to their duties in silence.

In the main throne hall, Qian Xunji paced, his mind churning over Bibi Dong's defiance. She slapped my hand, named the boy without my consent, he thought, fury simmering. My father favors her too. He resolved to punish her subtly, slowly, while scheming to win Qian Renxue's love over her mother's. The boy, Yoriichi, I'll train him harshly, make him loyal to Spirit Hall, he decided, clearing his head. Sitting on his throne, he commanded, "Elders, report on Spirit Hall's activities and progress." Yue Guan, Gui Mei, and other elders stepped forward, delivering detailed updates on missions, resources, and spirit master training, their voices steady under his gaze.

In Bibi Dong's chamber, the twins slept in her arms, their tiny forms nestled against her on the bed. Qian Renxue stirred, her soft cries signaling hunger. Bibi Dong glanced at Yoriichi, sleeping calmly. "Not hungry, my little sun?" she wondered, her heart swelling. She soothed Renxue with a gentle lullaby, opening her upper garment to breastfeed. Renxue drank eagerly, her tiny hands clutching. Yoriichi's maroon eyes fluttered open, sensing the shift. Milk... I'm a baby too, he thought, a flicker of embarrassment crossing his reincarnated mind. Bibi Dong's sweet smile met him, her beauty radiant. She's so lovely when she smiles, he mused, drawn to her warmth.

Yoriichi: This world's soul power hums around me, but Mother's milk is sweeter, her love a beacon. I'm embarrassed, yet her smile pulls me in. I'll drink, grow strong, protect her and Rexune.

Bibi Dong: My Yoriichi, so quiet, so cute—your eyes hold a warrior's soul. Renxue's giggles, your eager drinking... this moment is everything my future self lost. I'll love you both fiercely, my heart whole again.

Bibi Dong offered her breast to Yoriichi, who hesitated, then drank eagerly, exclaiming inwardly, So sweet! Renxue glanced at him, giggling, her smile mirroring his. Bibi Dong's heart soared. This is joy, not the darkness of my past, she thought, watching their bond. She sang a soft lullaby, her voice wrapping the twins in warmth as they drank, their tiny faces content.
