--- Chapter 35 ---

In the supreme pontiff palace, throne room, we could see Bibi Dong sat on her throne while calmly staring at six kneeling men in front of her. ​​

The room mood is heavy as Bibi Dong's cold voice entered their ears.

"It takes you guys one week to answer my call, huh." Bibi Dong coldly said, which makes all of her subordinates shivering in cold sweats.

"Just what are you guys doing? Playing around?!" She rashly added while tapping her finger at the throne armrest.

"Y-Your Majesty..." said a man who has blonde hair with a pale complexion, and he wore a large purple robe with yellow linings, which covered his entire body.

"Ci Xue, talk." Bibi Dong said while looking at the blonde man, who kneeled in front of her.

"I-I was searching for a rare poison herb in the silver lake forest, so I can't arrive on time to answer your call." Ci Xue answered while bowing his head because he could feel Bibi Dong's cold gaze piercing his body.

"Hoo... A rare poison herb?" Bibi Dong nodded her head before saying, "Is that all? You only searching for a poison herb, and nothing more."

"Y-Yes, Your majesty." Ci Xue quietly replied while trying to lift his head and see Bibi Dong smiling at him.

"I see, I see..." Bibi Dong softly said before suddenly releasing a powerful pressure from her body.

"Do you think you are smart enough to fool me?!" Bibi Dong said while lifting her right hand and form a revolving dark ball.

"The reports I know and your answers are completely different, answer me honestly or..." She said while pointing her finger at Ci Xue.

"I-I found a disciple, and I need to train him for a moment. That's the reason why I couldn't arrive on time, Your majesty!" Ci Xue instantly answered, which makes Bibi Dong takes back her pressure.

'Safe...' Ci Xue thought while inwardly releasing a sigh of relief.

'Ci Xue is a ruthless man, and he had quite a twisted personality, and just what kind of disciple did he accept.' Bibi Dong thought while pondering about something.

"Hmm, a disciple." Bibi Dong said while turning her gaze at the rest of her subordinates and calmly heard every explanation that came out of their mouths.

After a few minutes of listening, Bibi Dong is averting her gaze back at Ci Xue.

"So, you accepted a disciple, right." Bibi Dong asked, to which Ci Xue responded with a nod.

"Yes, your majesty, he's quite a talented child," Ci Xue said with a smile on his face.

"His name is Ba Jai. He possessed toxic demon martial soul and already at level 15 when only at seven years old," He proudly added, which makes Bibi Dong inwardly shaking her head.

"I see... Spirit rank of level 15 is indeed not bad for a seven years old boy." Bibi Dong commented before clapping her hands.

"Xiaoyu, come here." She said with a smile on her face as Chu Xiaoyu calmly walked into the throne room, making her subordinates frown at this unknown little girl.

Chu Xiaoyu is calmly walking toward Bibi Dong without minding the stares of spirit hall's elders.

"Teacher." Chu Xiaoyu greeted as she arrived at Bibi Dong's side.

"Let me introduce you... Chu Xiaoyu, my new disciple." Bibi Dong naturally declared while patting her disciple's head.

"HUH? EHH?!" All the spirit hall's elders were shocked by Bibi Dong's words except for Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo, who already knew about this.

"But, your majesty, you already have a disciple, who most likely would inherit your position." Said a man with spiky white hair and a deep scar over his left eye, and he also had tattoos on both of his arms, which is carrying a brown gourd.

(An: This spiky hair guy had two names in the fandom, She long and Yu Long, I will use Yu Long)

"Yu Long." Bibi Dong said while shifting her gaze at the spiky white hair man.

"Who said that I couldn't have more than one disciple?" She indifferently asked, which makes her subordinates quiet.

"Also, Xiaoyu doesn't lose out in talent compared to Nana." Bibi Dong affirmed while giving her disciple a gentle gaze.

Chu Xiaoyu nodded her head while remembering her training in this one week, which was very laborious and rewarding.

After being trained by Bibi Dong, Chu Xiaoyu's ability is increasing at a fast rate. Her fighting prowess is improving, and she also breakthrough to level 14 in only one week.

"What about this... You guys can test her ability." Bibi Dong suddenly stated, which caught her subordinates off guard.

"Well, you guys can only test her ability with your disciple if you have one." She added while shifting her gaze at Ci Xue and Yu Long.

"Ci Xue, Yu long, both of your disciples would participate, right?" Bibi Dong asked while giving them a sharp glare, to which two guys responded with a nod.

"My disciple would participate, your majesty." Ci Xue and Yu Long replied.

'Ba Jai should be able to win...' Ci Xue thought while examining Chu Xiaoyu.

'My disciple, huh.' Yu Long thought while inwardly sighing.

Meanwhile, Yunlong, Qian Renxue, and Chu Yunxi calmly observed the scene from a hidden room.

"All of them are titled douluo." Qian Renxue said while staring at Bibi Dong's subordinates.

"They cannot be compared to my grandfather, though." She inwardly commented while shifting her gaze at Chu Xiaoyu, who is calmly standing beside her mother.

'To think, she would accept another disciple.' Qian Renxue thought while remembering how she first interacts with Chu Xiaoyu, which is in a spar.

'Full innate soul power of level 10, huh.' She added while giving Chu Xiaoyu an approving nod.

"I know mistress wants to test Xiaoyu, but is it okay to let her handle this kind of pressure?" Chu Yunxi worriedly asked while staring at her daughter.

"It's okay. Mother knows what she is doing." Yunlong calmly replied while giving Yunxi a reassuring smile.

"Also, she would step up by herself if something bad happens to Xiaoyu. She's her disciple, after all." He added while turning his gaze back at Bibi Dong, who is surprisingly staring at him now.

"Yunlong, come here." Bibi Dong's voice echoed in the area, making Yunlong shake his head before walking toward the throne room.

As Yunlong entered the room, his presence caught every person in the area, which put slight invisible pressure on him. Still, he only shrugs it off while calmly walking at his mother.

'Your majesty's son.' Ghost Douluo and Chrysanthemum Douluo thought while staring at Yunlong, who is calmly walking forward without minding their gaze.

'That's my son.' Bibi Dong thought while nodding her head in satisfaction.

"Young master," Chu Xiaoyu politely said while bowing her body at Yunlong.

"Well, let me introduce you, Yunlong, my son." Bibi Dong suddenly declared while smiling at Yunlong.

"..."

"..."

The room is entirely silent when Bibi Dong introduces Yunlong as her son.

Yunlong calmly staring at them before forming a smile on his face and said, "Hi, Everyone."
