Chapter 6: 16 Years Later
Although Ao Tian's divine consciousness was powerful, it wasn't constantly monitoring his surroundings.
When he had a thought and wanted to check on Qian Xunji's condition, he found out that Qian Xunji had already harmed another woman.
Ao Tian had a bold guess in his mind at that moment.
"Could it be... even if I save Bibi Dong, will the plot still follow its original course? Could Qian Xunji really create another Qian Renxue?"
"If that's the case, it seems quite interesting. I'm looking forward to that angelic girl," Ao Tian said with a smile.
If you were to ask him who his favorite women were in the first part of the Douluo Continent series, it would be Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue, although the others were not bad either, but they were lower on the list.
He had some regrets before, thinking that by saving Bibi Dong, he would lose Qian Renxue. However, now it seemed that Qian Renxue might still appear.
...
On a soft large bed, Bibi Dong lay there, absentmindedly playing with the corners of her clothes. Her eyes were fixed on the ceiling, and she couldn't fall asleep at all.
It wasn't because of the sad events of today but because of Ao Tian.
Although she had some favorable impressions of this man, and he didn't seem malicious, she had to remain cautious. After experiencing the heinous actions of Yu Xiaogang and Qian Xunji, she learned a lesson: You can know someone's face but not their heart!
Sometimes, unless the other person reveals their true self, it's hard to understand what kind of person they really are.
So, she had to be on guard against Ao Tian to prevent him from suddenly turning hostile.
She believed that walking with Ao Tian was a matter of necessity. If she had enough strength, she wouldn't bother with him.
Lost in her thoughts, Bibi Dong occasionally couldn't help but turn her head to sneak a glance at Ao Tian, who was sitting on the sofa in the distance.
Ao Tian was sitting on the couch, and from Bibi Dong's perspective, she could only see his sharp profile.
Ao Tian swirled his wine glass, the red wine inside sloshing. He gazed out the window, emitting an invisible aura of loneliness and solitude.
Bibi Dong was drawn to Ao Tian's appearance and unique charisma, and she couldn't take her eyes off him without realizing it.
"What kind of person is he really?" she wondered.
Suddenly, Ao Tian turned around, locking eyes with Bibi Dong and giving her a bright smile. "Are you peeking at me?"
Bibi Dong's heart raced, her pretty face blushing. She quickly pulled the blanket up to cover herself and hid her head inside.
Her heart was pounding with a mix of shyness and irritation at Ao Tian for catching her in the act.
Ao Tian shook his head and chuckled, saying, "You must be tired today. Get some rest. We'll leave Spirit City early tomorrow morning."
Bibi Dong felt her eyelids getting heavier and, before long, she fell into a deep sleep.
Ao Tian approached her and gently pulled down the blanket, revealing Bibi Dong's face.
With her exquisite oval face, delicate features, long and curved eyelashes, a small and flawless nose, and cherry-red lips, she was incredibly alluring.
Ao Tian pursed his lips and smiled, "The somewhat silly Bibi Dong doesn't seem too bad."
...
Morning came.
Bibi Dong's eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes, only to widen them in surprise.
"When did I fall asleep?" She felt a moment of panic and quickly reached for her clothes to check her body's condition.
Once she confirmed that her clothes were intact and there was no discomfort in certain areas of her body, she breathed a sigh of relief.
"Now that I'm awake, I shouldn't linger in bed. Time to get up, freshen up, and have breakfast. We'll be hitting the road."
Hearing Ao Tian's voice, Bibi Dong turned and saw him looking at her with a sly smile.
Her cheeks blushed again.
Thinking back to her earlier suspicions about him, Bibi Dong felt somewhat embarrassed.
On the table, a hot and delicious breakfast was already prepared by the hotel. Ao Tian sat there, eating leisurely. His unique air of nobility and elegance radiated from him, once again capturing Bibi Dong's attention.
As the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she had received years of education in noble etiquette. However, in terms of elegance and nobility, no one she had ever met could compare to Ao Tian.
Little did she know that this kind of elegance and nobility was innate to the Dragon Clan, and Ao Tian was thoroughly enjoying it.
"Do I have something on my face that you're staring at me?" Ao Tian asked with a warm smile.
Bibi Dong's face turned even redder, and she quickly got out of bed. "I'll go freshen up."
...
An hour later, the two of them were ready to set out.
Actually, there wasn't much to prepare.
In Bibi Dong's storage soul tool, there were plenty of clothes.
As for Ao Tian, he could be the richest person on this planet whenever he wished, and he had no need to prepare anything.
"Where are we going?" Bibi Dong asked.
Ao Tian looked northward and said, "We'll first go to the Heaven Dou Empire, and then to the Star Luo Empire. I want to take you to enjoy the cuisine of this continent."
Listening to Ao Tian's ambitious plans, Bibi Dong suddenly felt a bit sweet in her heart.
With her head lowered and her face blushing, she softly murmured, "Okay."
...
The two of them spent ten years traveling freely across the continent.
Ao Tian took Bibi Dong to savor delicacies from all over the world and even ventured into the City of Slaughter, where Bibi Dong acquired a Domain of Slaughter.
As for Ao Tian, he didn't care much for something like the Domain of Slaughter.
After a decade of exploration, the two of them returned to Spirit City.
The reason for their return was that they received reliable information that the Pontiff had met a violent end!
Bibi Dong contacted a female elder with whom she had a good relationship and learned that Qian Xunji had recently led several elders to ambush Tang Hao, a young genius of the Clear Sky Sect.
Tang Hao's wife was a 100,000-Year Spirit Beast in human form, and the domineering Qian Xunji naturally couldn't let this slide. As a result, things took a turn for the worse. The Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Beast was sacrificed to empower Tang Hao, significantly boosting his strength, while Qian Xunji was severely injured.
Years ago, Qian Xunji had forcibly taken a servant girl and gave birth to a daughter. Over the past decade, his mistreatment of the servant girl had brewed resentment in her heart. Taking advantage of Qian Xunji's severe injuries, she poisoned him to death.
With the Pontiff's death, a nine-year-old daughter was left behind, along with a potentially chaotic situation in the Spirit Hall.
This return was at Ao Tian's request. He hoped that Bibi Dong could take over the Pontiff's position and become a powerful Empress.
After ten years, Bibi Dong had already become a Titled Douluo and, with Ao Tian's assistance, easily ascended to become the new Supreme Pontiff of the Spirit Hall.
With this, the lives of Ao Tian and Bibi Dong settled down.
...
...
Six years later.
It had been sixteen years since Ao Tian's awakening, and Bibi Dong had grown from a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl into a mature woman in her thirties.
At this moment, in Bibi Dong's bedroom, her face was flushed, and her breath was rapid.
"Don't be naughty!" She pushed away Ao Tian's restless hands and caught hold of his ear. "Show me your true form."
Ao Tian's figure blurred for a moment, and in the blink of an eye, he reverted to the appearance of a six or seven-year-old.
Bibi Dong gave a firm knock on Ao Tian's forehead and looked at him with a teasing smile. "You little brat, you haven't even grown proper hair yet, and you want to do grown-up things with me? Do you have the capability?"
Ao Tian pouted and said, "Can't I just have a little fun? Besides, my cultivation is about to break through. In a few more years, I'll be able to return to my youthful appearance."
He looked at Bibi Dong's voluptuous and alluring body and couldn't help but swallow hard.
In her thirties, Bibi Dong had completely shed her teenage awkwardness and had become a fully matured peach. Her well-proportioned figure, combined with her rare and exquisite facial features, was incredibly enchanting.
She was still wearing the magnificent robes of the Pope, and even in her allure, she carried an air of majesty and nobility that easily aroused a man's desire for conquest.
Ao Tian wore a bitter expression on his face, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
He used to hear about the inherent yin nature of dragon-kind and would just chuckle, but now, he was experiencing it firsthand.
That desire, which was many times stronger than that of humans, tormented him greatly.
Especially with a peerlessly beautiful woman by his side, one he could only look at but not touch, the feeling was too cruel.
Ao Tian shook his head to clear his thoughts with great effort. "I'll set out tomorrow for the Nuoding City"
