"Dong'er." Seeing Bibi Dong appear, Xiao Se's eyes brightened visibly. His figure flashed, instantly moving in front of Bibi Dong, and he pulled her into his embrace, saying excitedly, "Dong'er, I remember now, I remember everything."
"Welcome back, Xiao Se." Caught off guard by Xiao Se's sudden embrace, Bibi Dong was slightly stunned. With her exquisite face nestled against his chest, a gentle curve appeared at the corners of her lips as she whispered softly.
"Papa, Mama, this is wonderful." Seeing Xiao Se's memory restored, Xiao Xue was also very happy; she leaned over and hugged Xiao Se.
The mother and daughter held Xiao Se from left and right, saying nothing more. In this moment, it felt as if only the three of them existed in the World.
Just then, Gu Yuena, who was standing to the side, spoke up abruptly: "Aren't you going to introduce us?"
"Uh..." Xiao Se's mouth twitched as he turned his gaze toward Gu Yuena. It seemed like the rhythm of a Shurafield.
Bibi Dong raised her head, looked at Gu Yuena, and said with poise: "Empress of the Spirit Empire, Bibi Dong, Xiao Se's wife. Xue'er's mother."
"Co-ruler of the Spirit Beasts, Silver Dragon King, Gu Yuena." Gu Yuena stepped forward and met Bibi Dong's gaze.
Neither side would yield.
Xiao Se and Xiao Xue stood between them, vaguely seeing sparks of electricity pass between them.
"Papa, Mama and Gu Yuena's gazes are so scary." Xiao Xue hugged Xiao Se tightly. Whether out of fear or something else, her pretty face was flushed red.
Xiao Se nodded, deeply agreeing. He gave a light cough and immediately changed the subject: "Ahem, since you've already met, I won't introduce you further."
As he spoke, Xiao Se pointed to Ning Rongrong and introduced her: "Dong'er, you are already very familiar with Xiao Yi Xian and Zhuqing, so I won't introduce them. This is Ning Rongrong, daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile SchoolSect Master. She can be considered my first Disciple."
"Rongrong greets the Master's wife." Hearing Xiao Se introduce her to Bibi Dong, Ning Rongrong hurriedly walked in front of Bibi Dong and bowed gracefully, feeling terrified and anxious in her heart.
After all, the person before her was known as the number one person on the Douluo Continent, the former Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong, and the current Empress of the Spirit Empire. Since she was very young, this person had already been a legendary figure, an idol in the hearts of all female Spirit Masters across the continent.
"Nana has already told me about you. The Spirit Empire welcomes the addition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Since you are Xiao Se's Disciple, you will also be my Disciple from now on. I don't have anything special to give you, so take this Spirit Bone as a greeting gift." Bibi Dong revealed a gentle smile. She raised her jade hand, and a flash of red light drifted from the storage ring on her left ring finger, landing in her hand and transforming into a golden skull Spirit Bone.
"A Spirit Bone." Ning Rongrong was greatly shocked, her beautiful eyes wide open, her pupils filled with disbelief. Her father, Ning Fengzhi, had once told her that the Clear Sky Sect right arm bone given by Xiao Se was of extremely high quality, with an age of at least over seventy thousand years. Yet, the skull Spirit Bone before her was even superior in terms of pressure and completeness. Could it be that this was a legendary hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone?
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong took a deep breath, bowed, and politely declined: "Master's wife, this is too precious."
"Rongrong, just accept it. It's merely a hundred-thousand-year skull Spirit Bone." Xiao Se laughed. Nowadays, the Spirit Bones on him, Xiao Yi Xian, Zhuqing, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Hu Liena were all full, and the lowest quality was at least a hundred thousand years old. Bibi Dong giving away an extra hundred-thousand-year skull Spirit Bone was nothing.
Furthermore, there were quite a few Spirit Bones left over from the Vicious Beasts over a hundred thousand years old that had sacrificed themselves to Xiao Se, Xiao Yi Xian, and Zhuqing. Among them, there were even some from Vicious Beasts that the three of them had no room to absorb, not to mention those left behind after killing Tang Ritian.
The Spirit Bones in Xiao Se's storage ring were almost piled up; he had more than enough to assemble two more sets of hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bones. Xiao Se planned to go back and see which wife he should save them for.
"Merely." Hearing Xiao Se's words, Ning Rongrong's mouth twitched. Fine, it was true that in the eyes of her omnipotent teacher, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast was as insignificant as an ant.
"Thank you, Master's wife." Ning Rongrong respectfully accepted the skull Spirit Bone given by Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong nodded with a smile, turned her gaze to Xiao Se, and pointed to Liu Erlong: "Xiao Se, look who I've brought."
"Xiao Se. I..." Liu Erlong twisted her fingers, a trace of imperceptible loneliness and inferiority flashing in her eyes. She wanted to speak but hesitated. Compared to the women beside Xiao Se, it was hard for her not to feel inferior.
Xiao Se did not speak, his gaze looking at Liu Erlong with complexity. In fact, from the moment Bibi Dong entered, Xiao Se had noticed Liu Erlong.
It was just that he really didn't know how to handle his relationship with Liu Erlong.
To say he liked her, that wasn't quite right, because they had very little interaction. To say he coveted her body, well, this fully ripened body was indeed quite covetable.
Putting aside physical desires, the only thing worth mentioning was perhaps a trace of guilt.
Xiao Se was a passionate man; for any woman he liked, he would almost always pursue her boldly, and if he could nurture a relationship, he would try his best to do so.
Years ago, out of interest or because he couldn't bear to watch Liu Erlong lose her family, he took over control of Bibi Dong's body and, hiding his identity, saved Liu Erlong's mother. The two spent a short three days together.
During that time, he wore a large black cloak to conceal his figure, minimizing contact with Liu Erlong, and didn't even speak more than a few words. On one hand, he didn't want to expose Bibi Dong's identity; on the other hand, he knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to have any interaction in the future.
And Liu Erlong was a deeply affectionate woman. In the original story, she could wait bitterly for Xiaogang for over twenty years.
Rather than that, it was better not to leave an impression on her at all.
But despite that, Liu Erlong still fell for him, remained unmarried for life, and waited bitterly.
This damn charm.
After a long while, Xiao Se sighed softly and gave Liu Erlong an affirmative look: "Dong'er might need help in the future, so you can come with us."
This could be considered a disguised response to Liu Erlong. Who told him, Xiao, that he was such a good person!
"Mm." Hearing that Xiao Se wanted to take her with him, Liu Erlong almost wept with joy and nodded heavily. As long as she stayed by Xiao Se's side, there was still hope.
"Dong'er, how is the progress of the Spirit Empire's unification? After finishing here, we should head to the Fighting Qi Continent. At that time, I will help you and Xue'er convert to cultivating Qi." Xiao Se said: "With your current cultivation levels, Dou Zun is the bare minimum, especially for you. Because you didn't complete the God Trials, your spirit power has been accumulating at level ninety-nine for decades. Once you convert to cultivating Qi, your cultivation level will likely become the highest among us."
"Nana has already grown up. With her current strength, she is enough to suppress those Elders in the Spirit Hall. As for unifying the continent, the Heaven Dou Empire and Star Luo Empire exist in name only; unification is just a matter of time." Bibi Dong said: "We can go at any time."
