Chapter 90: Conversation on the Balcony
[Bibi Dong held a snack in one hand and covered her mouth with the other, staring at Yu Xiaogang in a daze.]
[As the certain future Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall and a super Genius with twin spirits whose talent was visible to the naked eye.]
[Bibi Dong's presence at the banquet was, to some extent, more popular than that of a Titled Douluo.]
[After all, Titled Douluos had already grown up; they had their own social circles and life-and-death friends.]
[Trying to become close brothers with a Titled Douluo was as difficult as Cultivating into a Titled Douluo oneself.]
[But Bibi Dong was different.]
[She was a future Titled Douluo, yet she was still so young now.]
[Leaving a good impression at this time, finding opportunities to help her in the future, or sending one's own children to become friends with her.]
[All of these would bring terrifying returns in the future.]
[Thus, after every person who approached Qian Xunji chatted for a bit, the topic would inevitably shift to Bibi Dong.]
[Her good upbringing and etiquette allowed Bibi Dong to complete her interactions with everyone excellently.]
[But in the end, Bibi Dong was still just a child in her teens.]
[Being steady for a little while was fine, but being steady all the time?]
[Probably no one could do such a thing.]
[Soon, an irritable Bibi Dong found an opportunity and secretly slipped away from her teacher's side.]
[To prevent being found, Bibi Dong went to the balcony and hid in a small corner on the side.]
[With her ears finally at peace, Bibi Dong took out the delicacies she had casually packed into her storage soul tool while passing the dining table and laid them out in front of her one by one.]
[Then, it was time for some pleasant solitude.]
[Eating delicious food, enjoying the quiet solitary environment, and taking out a storybook she had picked up from the street, Bibi Dong felt that this moment was wonderful.]
[Then, just as she was enjoying her solitude, the balcony door suddenly opened.]
[Sensing someone's arrival, Bibi Dong instinctively held her breath, as if the other person wouldn't find her that way.]
[Then she saw Yu Xiaogang, whom she had seen beside His Excellency Thunder earlier, walking out from the hall.]
[Closing the balcony door, Yu Xiaogang walked onto the balcony, felt the evening breeze, and let out a long breath.]
["It seems he's just like me, stifled to death inside."]
[Bibi Dong thought to herself.]
[Then, Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang stretch his body quite exaggeratedly. Once finished, a soft but clearly audible "Refreshing!" reached her ears.]
["Pfft."]
[Almost instinctively, Bibi Dong couldn't hold it back and let out a laugh.]
[The moment she laughed, she reacted and quickly covered her mouth with her hands.]
[Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang had clearly noticed her presence.]
[And so, their eyes met.]
["..."]
["..."]
[In the silence, Yu Xiaogang's toes inside his shoes kept curling. He was certain that with his current mood, he could have dug out a villa with his toes.]
[At this moment, Yu Xiaogang really wanted to go back a few seconds and strangle his careless self.]
[Why couldn't he observe his surroundings first and make sure no one was there before letting himself go?]
["The good news is that she laughed, letting me know someone was here."]
["This is much better than her hiding here the whole time without me noticing, and then me doing even more embarrassing things."]
[Yu Xiaogang comforted himself in his heart.]
["Hello, are you here for the breeze too?"]
[Finally, unable to think of anything else to say but needing to resolve the current awkwardness, Yu Xiaogang spoke up.]
["Yeah, it seems you don't like staying in the hall talking to those people either."]
[Hearing Yu Xiaogang's words, Bibi Dong lowered her hand from her mouth and quickly pinched herself on the waist.]
[The pain allowed her to suppress the urge to laugh.]
[And so, the two began a normal conversation.]
["From what His Excellency Thunder said, your Spirit has the light attribute?"]
[Bibi Dong took the initiative to find a topic. For people of the Douluo Continent, Spirits were always the best entry point.]
["That's right. I didn't expect it to mutate from my family's thunder attribute into the light attribute."]
[Yu Xiaogang replied.]
[Once the initial awkwardness passed, Yu Xiaogang glanced at Bibi Dong.]
[This Disciple of the Pope of the Spirit Hall was about the same age as him.]
[Besides her, the most famous young Genius Spirit Masters on the Douluo Continent today included the two sons of the current Sect Master of the Clear Sky Sect.]
[There were also children of other famous experts, but compared to them, they were far behind.]
[It could be said that in the future of the Douluo Continent, they would surely be the focus of everyone's attention.]
[In fact, he was also a focus of attention.]
[With a unique Spirit and Innate Rank 1 Soul Power, yet obtaining a first spirit ring of thousand years.]
[Everyone was curious about how far someone like him could eventually go.]
[There were even gambling dens opening bets on things like whether he could Cultivate to become a Spirit Saint or a Spirit Douluo.]
[Or at what age he could become a Soul Ancestor, a Spirit King, and so on.]
[Too many people wanted to witness his rise, or wanted to see him fail.]
["The light attribute, huh? Teacher and Grandpa High Priest are both light attribute users. I just don't know if they'd be willing to guide you."]
[Bibi Dong glanced at Yu Xiaogang, remained silent for a long while, and finally asked.]
["Can I see it? Your first spirit ring?"]
[Ever since she heard her teacher say that Yu Xiaogang's first spirit ring was actually a thousand-year one, she had been curious.]
[It wasn't convenient to look while following her teacher just now, but this situation was suitable.]
["No problem."]
[Yu Xiaogang didn't refuse. He had come to the Spirit Hall Academy to study, and his spirit ring would be seen by everyone sooner or later, so there was nothing to hide.]
[As his spirit power circulated, a light flashed in front of Yu Xiaogang. In the next second, the figure of a Little Dragon appeared before Bibi Dong.]
["Awoo!"]
[A dragon roar that still carried a milky scent came from the Little Dragon's mouth. After coming out, the Little Dragon first got close to Yu Xiaogang before looking at the wide-eyed Bibi Dong.]
[Bibi Dong's height was about the same as Yu Xiaogang's, and thus about the same as the Little Dragon's.]
[So when Bibi Dong saw Yu Xiaogang summon a Little Dragon about the size of herself, she walked forward in surprise.]
["Is this your Spirit? So amazing!"]
[Being watched with curious eyes by Bibi Dong, the Little Dragon proudly held its head high.]
[That cute appearance made Bibi Dong even more excited.]
[She looked at Yu Xiaogang with expectation and a hint of pleading in her eyes.]
["Can I pet it?"]
