Jiang Chen stood up and bowed to Bibi Dong. "I'm sorry, Teacher. I spoke out of turn. However, I hope you can seriously consider what I just said."
After saying that, he didn't dare linger any longer and hurriedly left Bibi Dong's room.
It seemed that he had struck Bibi Dong's sore spot, but there was no guarantee that Bibi Dong wouldn't suddenly lash out at him in anger.
If he wanted Bibi Dong to let go of her resentment toward Qian Renxue, it could only be done step by step; he couldn't rush it.
Otherwise, he himself would probably end up suffering.
"I'm afraid tomorrow I'll have to face the tribulation alone." Thinking of how angry Bibi Dong had looked at him in the end, Jiang Chen could only shake his head and sigh.
...
After Jiang Chen left, Bibi Dong could no longer control her emotions. With a fierce wave of her hand, the door slammed shut with a bang.
Her fragrant shoulders trembled, and tears already streamed from her eyes.
"My Xue'er… Did I really do wrong…?"
...
After leaving Bibi Dong's residence, Jiang Chen suddenly felt an urge to soar through the skies. Which man didn't dream of flying freely between heaven and earth?
He had just obtained a flight skill, and he really wanted to experience just how fast this so-called fastest soul beast on the Douluo Continent, the Sharp-Tailed Thunder Swallow, truly was.
But after thinking about it, he gave up. His Thunder Light Wings were far too eye-catching. Flying in the sky at night like this would make him look like a giant light bulb, and there were quite a few Title Douluo in Martial Soul City. If one of them happened to be in a bad mood and decided to knock him down, it would be disastrous.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he returned to his own room and then went to cultivate on the roof outside.
He glanced toward Hu Liena's room. From the balcony, he could see the large bed inside.
At this moment, Hu Liena was sitting cross-legged on it, seriously cultivating.
Jiang Chen couldn't deny that he did have some feelings for Hu Liena, but his heart already belonged to Qian Renxue.
He had once thought about taking both of them. Which transmigrated man didn't have a dream of being like Wei Xiaobao?
But both Qian Renxue and Hu Liena were proud daughters of heaven, arrogant and high-spirited. How could they possibly accept sharing a husband with another woman?
Polygamy was quite common on the Douluo Continent, but the stronger a woman was, the less she could tolerate her man liking other women.
Bibi Dong was a perfect example. Even though she deeply loved Yu Xiaogang in her heart, she couldn't tolerate Yu Xiaogang liking other women.
If he had to choose between the two women right now, Jiang Chen would unhesitatingly pick Qian Renxue. But at the same time, he might not be able to let go of Hu Liena.
The more he thought about it, the more chaotic his mind became. In the end, he simply stopped thinking about it. Let nature take its course.
Perhaps a miracle really would happen…
...
Early the next morning, after Jiang Chen had just finished washing up, Bibi Dong's maid came to summon him.
Without time to eat breakfast, he quickly tidied his appearance and followed the maid to Bibi Dong's study.
"Teacher." Jiang Chen greeted respectfully.
"Mm. Have you eaten breakfast?" Bibi Dong had already returned to her usual gentle demeanor toward him.
Jiang Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Not yet."
"Come eat with Teacher then." Bibi Dong beckoned with a very warm smile.
The study was very large and had a dining table. Jiang Chen walked over and sat down opposite Bibi Dong.
"Young man, eat more eggs, it's good for your body." Bibi Dong pushed four or five eggs toward Jiang Chen.
"Mm, thank you, Teacher."
"Eat quickly. Aren't you going to undergo your tribulation today? We'll set off once you're done."
Noticing that Bibi Dong's gaze toward him was very gentle, Jiang Chen stopped being polite and quickly began eating.
A moment later, he let out a satisfied burp and said, "Teacher, I'm full. Let's set off."
Today, Bibi Dong was wearing a set of black tight-fitting clothes. Her golden, long hair was pinned up, revealing a smooth and round forehead. Her peerless beauty was even more stunning than usual.
Her mature and tall figure was wrapped in the black tight clothes, unintentionally exuding an air of valiance.
Bibi Dong was indeed breathtakingly beautiful, but Jiang Chen didn't dare look too much. In his heart, this was his future mother-in-law.
Bibi Dong stood up. Under Jiang Chen's surprised gaze, she activated a mechanism. The bookshelf moved aside, revealing a hidden door.
"Come in."
Jiang Chen walked in, and then Bibi Dong closed the door behind them.
Though there was firelight inside, it was still somewhat dim.
Jiang Chen could see in the dark, so this didn't affect his observation.
Where they stood, a flight of stairs led downward. Jiang Chen estimated that the stairs probably reached all the way to the foot of the mountain.
"Teacher, what is this place?" Jiang Chen asked curiously.
Bibi Dong took the lead and walked down. "This secret passage leads outside Martial Soul City. Only I know about it; now you're the second person."
"Why aren't we using the main gate?"
"If we use the main gate, countless eyes will follow us. Do you want to undergo your tribulation with great fanfare?"
"I don't. Having the teacher protect me is enough." Jiang Chen said.
"Mm. Keep up with my pace."
Bibi Dong's speed suddenly increased. The steep stairs seemed like flat ground beneath her feet.
Jiang Chen used his movement technique and followed Bibi Dong as if walking on level ground.
As Bibi Dong moved forward, she glanced back and praised, "Not bad."
Jiang Chen gave a silly grin. Receiving Bibi Dong's approval was a great satisfaction to him.
After about ten minutes, the two finally reached the end of the secret passage. Before them appeared a curtain of water, accompanied by a huge roaring sound that surprised Jiang Chen.
Outside was actually a waterfall, and the place where they stood was like a water curtain cave.
The bright morning sunlight pierced through the water curtain and shone on the two of them.
Suddenly, a shocking change occurred on Bibi Dong's body. Six thin, cicada-wing-like purple wings burst out from her back, vibrating at an extremely high frequency.
The clothes on Bibi Dong's back tore, instantly revealing large expanses of snow-white skin. Her perfect back was faintly visible, but Jiang Chen had no wicked thoughts. He stared dumbfounded at the wings on Bibi Dong's back.
Bibi Dong smiled and said, "This is my external soul bone skill, Six-Winged Purple Light Wings. Follow me closely. Don't fall behind."
With that, all six wings vibrated at once. She turned into a streak of light, passed through the water curtain, and disappeared from the cave.
Jiang Chen didn't dare delay. He immediately released his Thunder Light Wings. With a flap of the wings, he shot out after her.
"Holy crap!" The moment he emerged, he was startled. The place he was in was over a hundred meters above the ground. Facing such a height for his first flight made his head spin uncontrollably.
His wings flapped a few times chaotically, causing his body to descend instead of rise, plummeting rapidly downward.
"Steady yourself!" Bibi Dong's voice came from high above.
Jiang Chen focused his mind and quickly adjusted. After dropping dozens of meters, he finally stabilized his direction and gained a preliminary grasp of flight technique.
His head no longer spun. Immense excitement filled his heart. He hovered in the air and looked up to see Bibi Dong high above.
With a thought, he changed direction. His wings flapped, and he turned into a streak of light, shooting toward Bibi Dong.
"Holy crap, so fast, I'm going to crash!" The dozens of meters closed in the blink of an eye. Bibi Dong's figure rapidly grew larger in his vision.
