Ye Liangchen hadn't expected such a huge surprise after meeting Bibi Dong. Now he no longer had to worry about his safety. He had been guarding against Bibi Dong, that crazy woman, even preparing his Barrett Sniper Rifle, but he hadn't expected things to change so quickly. It was truly excellent.
With the two richest women in Douluo Continent now standing behind him, Ye Liangchen recalled a line from a movie in his previous life: "The doctor said I have a bad appetite, and advised me to eat softer food."
However, if Qian Renxue knew that Bibi Dong had adopted him as her son, she would surely be envious, jealous, and hateful, feeling that he had stolen her Mother's love. She might even come at him with the Angel God's Sword. At that time, Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue would surely engage in another fierce battle. That scene would be too beautiful to behold.
After chatting with the Shui Lanxin Sisters for a while, Bibi Dong remembered the purpose of her visit to Heaven Dou City and curiously asked, "Are you two sisters bringing the child to Heaven Dou City? Is it perhaps also for the Yuhua Pill?"
"To be honest, this Yuhua Pill was made by this brat. He helped Bing'er and the others obtain their Fourth spirit ring. After coming to Heaven Dou City, he had the manager of the Heaven Dou Auction House promote it heavily, making it known to forces across the entire Continent. When we received this news at Tianshui Academy, we were almost scared to death, which is why we rushed here in such a hurry."
"The Yuhua Pill was actually created by Xiao Chen? I heard it sold for an exorbitant price of 60,000 gold coins last month."
Hearing Shui Lanxin say this, Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan were instantly shocked again. Such a miraculous pill was actually created by Xiao Jiahuo.
"Na Jie taught me."
Ye Liangchen played dumb on the side. After all, he had just met Bibi Dong, and even if she was his Mother, he couldn't tell her everything.
"Right! It was Na Jie, the one behind Xiao Chen, who taught him."
Seeing how quickly Xiao Jiahuo reacted, the Shui Lanxin Sisters immediately echoed his words.
"You brat truly surprise Mother too much. Quickly, give me two to try."
Bibi Dong reached out and rubbed Ye Liangchen's head, then extended her fair hand, wanting some pills. Her adopted son was simply a treasure!
"No problem, here are 20 pills, for you, Mother, and Aunt Ling Yuan."
Ye Liangchen directly took out 20 Yuhua Pills and gave them to Bibi Dong and Flame Eagle Douluo. Since they were women, giving them this kind of beauty-enhancing pill was the best gift.
However, when calling Bibi Dong 'Mother', Ye Liangchen felt a bit uncomfortable, always feeling that this Mother was a bit improper.
"Thank you, Xiao Chen."
Ling Yuan hadn't expected Xiao Jiahuo to give her such a big gift. Excited, she kissed him on the cheek.
"Ling Yuan, don't take advantage of my adopted son!"
Bibi Dong glared at Ling Yuan. This old woman actually kissed her adopted son. She felt a little jealous; she hadn't even kissed him yet.
"Haha...! Supreme Pontiff, don't be so petty! I'm just showing affection for Xiao Jiahuo."
Ling Yuan smiled charmingly.
"Shui Lanxin, your two sisters' skin is so good. It must be because you've taken this pill, right?"
Bibi Dong looked at the skin of the two Shui family sisters, feeling it was almost as smooth and supple as a 20-year-old woman's.
"Indeed, and coupled with our breakthrough to Titled Douluo, we can also delay aging. Now we even use less rouge and powder."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters smiled.
"Xiao Chen, by introducing this pill, those wealthy women will surely go crazy."
Bibi Dong looked at Ye Liangchen, who was calm beside her, thinking, this Xiao Jiahuo really knows how to make money.
"Supreme Pontiff, it's getting late. Let's go have dinner!" Shui Lanxin suggested they all go to dinner together.
"Right! I adopted a son today, which is a joyous occasion that must be celebrated. Let's go! My treat."
Bibi Dong immediately led everyone out of the Xianting Teahouse. Seeing the teahouse owner and several waiters still guarding the entrance, she directly threw another 200 gold coins to them.
"My Lady, this is too much." The owner was a bit bewildered and dared not take the money.
"Take it! This money is compensation for your business losses today!"
After throwing the money to the owner, Bibi Dong led the group to a luxurious restaurant and requested a private room.
"Xiao Chen, why did that passage you recited to me earlier make my heart as calm as still water? Can you recite it to Mother again?"
After dinner, Bibi Dong asked Ye Liangchen about the words he had spoken earlier, feeling they were like a profound mantra.
"Right! Brat, when did you come up with that mantra? Even we didn't know."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters stared at Ye Liangchen.
"This is just a mantra I created to help myself cultivate with a calm mind. I call it the 'Ice Heart Technique'."
Ye Liangchen thought, the Daoist Ice Heart Technique he saw on Baidu in his previous life actually had such a good effect in this different World. It was truly amazing.
"Xiao Chen, can you give it to me? I really need the Ice Heart Technique to calm my mind."
"Of course, Mother, if you need it. I'll write it down with a pen later, so you can recite it then."
Seeing that Bibi Dong needed the Ice Heart Technique, Ye Liangchen immediately went to the restaurant owner to get a pen and paper, then wrote down the mantra and handed it to Bibi Dong.
"If the heart is like ice, the sky will not be startled... A single mind unburdened by things, free and at ease through all ages."
Bibi Dong held the Ice Heart Technique and began to recite it. Unconsciously, her heart became as still as water, and her body and mind were incredibly comfortable.
"It's truly amazing!"
"Brat, you have such a good mantra, quickly write us a copy."
"Xiao Chen Didi, please write a copy for us too."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters, Shui Bing'er, and the others also asked Ye Liangchen to write out a few more copies. This mantra might have unexpected effects on their future cultivation.
"Don't rush, everyone will get a copy. I'll write it."
Ye Liangchen had no choice but to write out several copies of the Ice Heart Technique mantra, giving one to each person, letting them ponder it themselves! Anyway, all three Daoist calming mantras were in his mind.
After studying the Ice Heart Technique for a while, everyone was amazed, especially Bibi Dong, who felt the most profound effect.
"Shui Lanxin, I feel like Xiao Chen is like a child of the gods."
"How can it be that exaggerated? He's just a tiny bit smarter, that's all."
"..."
After chatting for a while, Bibi Dong said she had some matters to attend to, then parted ways with Ye Liangchen and his group.
Before leaving, Bibi Dong also told Ye Liangchen to act as her shill tomorrow and help raise the price of the pills.
After Ye Liangchen and his group returned to the Rose Hotel, they recalled the day's events, which were simply too interesting.
"Mother, I always feel that the Pope has ulterior motives for Xiao Chen. Today in the teahouse, that evil aura was truly terrifying."
Shui Bing'er was a little worried, so she expressed her concerns to the others.
"Is Bing'er Jie worried that the Pope will harm Chen Ge? She shouldn't, right?" Xiao Maomi tilted her head, looked at Ye Liangchen beside her, and showed a strange expression.
"Bing'er, this is also a temporary measure for us. Now that woman has become Xiao Chen's Mother, our Tianshui Academy has one less major enemy, and all of you can grow."
"As for the concerns you have, Bing'er, you're overthinking it. Aren't we still here?"
Shui Lanxin and Shui Lanyue looked at Ye Liangchen with smiles, thinking that Xiao Jiahuo's destructive power was truly great; he appealed to both young and old!
"Brat, you must have noticed something. Quickly tell us."
Shui Lanxin asked Ye Liangchen to express his opinion.
"Today in the teahouse, the Pope unleashed an evil aura. That was divine force fluctuation."
"If I'm not mistaken, it should be the Rakshasa God that Na Jie mentioned. The Pope has already participated in the God Examination. The Rakshasa God is a Level 1 God, an Evil God who cultivates by absorbing negative and evil power."
"Spirit Hall Qian family's Seraphim Spirit is a God-level Spirit, related to the Angel God. The Limit Douluo the Pope mentioned earlier is Qian Daoliu."
"Angels and Rakshasa respectively represent light and darkness. Bibi Dong desperately tried to win me over, also wanting to use the power behind me to restrain Qian Daoliu's faction, and we can also use Bibi Dong's power to strengthen ourselves."
"As for the problem Bing'er Jie is worried about, it's simply impossible. The reason is the Ice Heart Technique I gave to the Pope today. We'll see its effects later."
Ye Liangchen used Gu Yuena to play dumb, telling everyone his thoughts.
"Brat, no wonder Senior Dugu said you're like an old hand. We were worried you'd be tricked by Bibi Dong, but we didn't expect you to be even more cunning than her."
Shui Lanxin reached out and rubbed Ye Liangchen's head. This Xiao Jiahuo was too much of a handful; he even managed to subdue a woman like Bibi Dong.
"I didn't expect that old fellow Qian Daoliu was still alive, and he's even a Limit Douluo. Few people from my Mother's generation have probably seen him."
"Spirit Hall's power is truly too strong. A Limit Douluo, Bibi Dong's spirit power is at least level 98, and there are other Titled Douluo. It's truly terrifying."
The Shui Lanxin Sisters exchanged glances. For Tianshui Academy to become completely independent, it might not be that simple!
"Chen Ge, listening to you, will Spirit Hall have two Gods in the future?" Zhu Zhuqing was very curious about Gods.
"Hmm, probably. But there's no need to be envious. We also have the chance to cultivate to become Gods. When everyone becomes Gods together, we can live forever."
Ye Liangchen said calmly. As a cheat user, even if it meant hard carrying, he would bring those around him to the God Realm.
"Xiao Chen Didi, older sister will rely on you from now on." Shui Bing'er smiled. She felt that since Xiao Jiahuo said it, he could probably do it.
...
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan arrived at the Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall branch, asking Bishop Salas to secretly inform Qian Renxue.
Although she disliked this daughter, the sentence Ye Liangchen had said earlier, "The end of obsession is endless darkness," had made Bibi Dong reconsider, so she decided to try meeting her daughter.
To be honest, carrying hatred had made Bibi Dong very tired. She no longer wanted to live that kind of life. There was no need for the Mother and daughter to continue their conflict.
"Supreme Pontiff, your change today is truly immense." Ling Yuan looked at the calm Bibi Dong, feeling very relieved.
"Ling Yuan, Xiao Chen's words today saved my soul. I suddenly realized that my first half of life was like a joke. Actually, I can live well. Now I have everything I want, there's no need to torment myself."
"Just as Xiao Chen said, in life, one will always encounter some bad things. Let those things be my trials. There is still a beautiful World ahead, waiting for us to explore."
Bibi Dong spoke calmly, sighing in her heart: The arrival of that Xiao Jiahuo must be Heaven's compensation for me!
"Then how do you plan to treat that Xiao Jiahuo in the future?"
"Of course, I'll leave the best things for him. If he wants the World, as his Mother, I'll help him conquer it. It's not easy to recognize such a good adopted son, so of course, I have to support him."
"Hehe...! I think Xiao Jiahuo doesn't need our help. Perhaps he can handle it himself."
"That's true, this Xiao Jiahuo's intelligence surpasses our imagination..."
The two women chatted while waiting for Qian Renxue's arrival.
After about an hour, the secret room door opened, and Qian Renxue, having returned to her true form, walked in.
"Elder Jiu."
Qian Renxue was startled when she saw Bibi Dong and Ling Yuan, so she first greeted Ling Yuan. As for Bibi Dong, she was ignored.
"Young Master, you and the Supreme Pontiff talk first. I shall take my leave." Ling Yuan greeted Qian Renxue, then quietly exited the secret room.
"Oh! Isn't this my dear Elder sister? Did you secretly come to Heaven Dou City this time also for the Yuhua Pill?"
"My dear Elder sister, are you also afraid of getting old?"
Qian Renxue stared at her Mother, immediately launching into a barrage of mockery, striking first to gain the upper hand.
"Qian Renxue, my dear daughter, I suddenly realized you're like a fool, and of course, I'm even more foolish. You must have inherited my foolish genes."
The moment Bibi Dong saw Qian Renxue, she immediately recalled her dead father, and a trace of hatred arose in her heart. But after closing her eyes and reciting the Ice Heart Technique once, her mood became peaceful again.
"Ah... this..."
Qian Renxue was a bit bewildered, seeing no trace of evil aura on Bibi Dong. This was simply like a fake Bibi Dong.
"What? Don't recognize me?"
Bibi Dong sneered, looking at her foolish daughter, and shook her head helplessly.
"My dear Elder sister, you're a bit different today. Shouldn't you hate me?"
Qian Renxue's head was buzzing at this moment. On the way here, she had already thought about how to argue with Bibi Dong and prepared a large number of words. Finding that the other party wasn't taking the bait, she felt very unaccustomed!
"What do I hate you for? What about you is worth my hatred?"
"Today I met a Xiao Jiahuo, and his sentence: 'The end of obsession is endless darkness,' instantly woke me up. Before, I was just a walking corpse, but now I'm alive."
"My first half of life was like a joke. Now I've woken up and decided to let go of my obsession, travel light, and explore the beautiful World ahead."
"Qian Renxue, I've let myself go, and I ask you to let me go too. There's no need for us to torment each other. Let's both be well."
"Remember to protect yourself. If it's really not possible, give up the mission and go back to cultivate properly. You've wasted too much talent."
"I'm leaving."
Bibi Dong stood up, patted Qian Renxue's shoulder, walked out of the secret room, and left the Spirit Hall with Ling Yuan, then found a hotel to stay in.
"Rumble..."
Qian Renxue's head buzzed again. After regaining her senses, she immediately walked out of the secret room, chased after them, and shouted.
"Come back."
By this time, Bibi Dong had already disappeared, leaving Qian Renxue very confused. When Bibi Dong looked at her just now, there was no hatred, nor any emotional fluctuations. She felt as if she were just an ordinary person in the other's eyes.
Qian Renxue's personality was very strange. Without Bibi Dong's mockery, she felt a lack of presence. Only by constantly clashing with Bibi Dong did she feel better.
"Who came to Heaven Dou City? Who did the Supreme Pontiff meet?"
Qian Renxue asked She Long, Ci Xue, and Salas. She wanted to find out who had caused such a big change in Bibi Dong.
"Young Master, how would we know? The Supreme Pontiff's strength is so great, who would dare approach her? We don't even know when she arrived!"
The three immediately shook their heads, looking as if to say, 'You ask me, who should I ask?'
"Oh, right, Young Master, our people discovered two female Douluo not far from the Heaven Dou Auction House plaza around noon today. And they both possess Ten-Thousand Year spirit rings. Those two women wore veils, and no one knows who they are."
At this moment, Salas remembered the news his subordinates brought back that afternoon, so he told Qian Renxue. To be honest, female Douluo with Ten-Thousand Year spirit rings were simply incredible.
"Two female Douluo? And they even possess Ten-Thousand Year spirit rings?"
Qian Renxue, She Long, and Ci Xue were instantly shocked by this news. When did such powerhouses appear on the Continent?
