章 5: Bibi Dong!
'Perfection...'
Looking at his cute face, Bibi Dong stood up from her seat and got down the small steps, making her way to him.
As she approached Xuan Yan, she maintained her gentle smile, a rare expression that few had ever seen.
She crouched down slightly to meet his height, and slowly, she reached out and ruffled his soft hair with a tenderness that surprised even herself.
Xuan Yan closed his eyes enjoying the tenderness of her pat and chuckled faintly "Her Majesty..."
Her hand traveled down, gently pinching his cheek "You are really a prodigy, Xuan Yan. Now shall we check your soul power?"
Opening his eyes, Xuan Yan tilted his head slightly, meeting her gaze with a look of curiosity "Yes.. Your majesty."But her curiosity wasn't satisfied yet.
*flick* From her personal storage ring, Bibi Dong took out a soul power appraising device, which was a blue orb attached to a golden frame.
'Since he has twin Martial Spirits, his soul power must be level 10,' Bibi Dong thought to herself, her eyes briefly scanning the orb.
'But still, just in case, let's confirm it.'
She held out the device, allowing it to hover gently before Xuan Yan. "Place your hand on the orb, Yan'." she instructed, her tone calm yet expectant.
"Pour your soul energy into it, and let's see the results."
Xuan Yan nodded as he reached out with his small hand, his delicate fingers resting lightly on the cool surface of the orb.
Closing his eyes, he focused, and a silverish-red energy began to flow from his body as it swirled around him like a miniature storm before surging into the orb.
The orb reacted instantly, glowing brightly with a radiant blue light and the intensity of the light caused Bibi Dong to squint her eyes as the orb began to tremble in the air, cracks spiderwebbing across its surface.
"Crack!"
The orb shattered into pieces, scattering into fragments of glowing light and for a moment, silence hung in the air, broken only by the faint hum of residual energy.
Huh? She gazed at the boy standing before her, his head lowered, his delicate features etched with worry.
His golden eyes flickered nervously as he looked up, "Um... Sorry, Your Majesty. I accidentally-"
Bibi Dong raised a hand, and a soft chuckle escaped her lips as she waved away his concern. "Don't worry," she said, her tone reassuring."If it's broken, that only means your soul power exceeds level 10. This is good news."
The boy's expression relaxed, and he nodded slowly.
Bibi Dong took another device from her storage ring. This one was larger and more robust, its golden frame adorned with intricate runes that pulsed faintly with energy.
"Let's try again, this device can measure higher levels of soul power. Place your hand on it once more."
He placed his hand on the larger orb, and once again, silver-red energy poured from him.The orb reacted immediately, glowing with an even brighter intensity than before.The runes on its surface lit up, and the energy within it swirled violently, almost as if struggling to contain his power.
*woosh* Finally, the orb stabilized, and the result was displayed: innate soul power, level 20.
Bibi Dong's gaze trembled in shock 'As I expected.. he has innate soul power of level 20 just like Xue'er'
She stared at the boy in awe, his innocent look and his cute face melting her heart 'Such a prodigy...'
Xuan Yan tilted his head slightly, his gaze questioning as he looked up at her and Bibi Dong couldn't help but smile.
"Do you know what this means? Your talent is extraordinary, beyond even what I expected. With twin Martial Spirits and soul power like this, you have the potential to surpass everyone in this generation."
Xuan Yan nodded his head and smiled "Yes, your majesty."
Bibi Dong placed a hand on his shoulder. "Yan, are you willing to accept me as your teacher? To follow my guidance and grow into the prodigy you are destined to be?"
Xuan Yan's eyes widened in surprise before he quickly bowed deeply, "Yes, Teacher."
For the first time in years, Bibi Dong felt a genuine warmth bloom in her chest and she placed a hand lightly on his head, her touch gentle. "Good," she said quietly.
"From this moment on, you are my personal disciple."
Taking his hand in hers, she stood and turned toward the grand doors of the chamber.
Her robes swirled around her as they began to walk, and Xuan Yan followed closely beside her, his golden eyes gleaming with excitement.
Bibi Dong is one of his favourite characters in the entire series, the tragedies she faced, betrayed by her own master, shook his heart.
Now being with her, seeing her smile is really soothing for him.
When the doors opened, Yue Quan and teh Ghost Douluo, Gui mei were waiting outside.
Both of them bowed their heads and gui Mei's eyes flickered to Xuan yan who was holding Bibi Dong's hand.
Yue Quan stepped forward, "Your Majesty," he began cautiously, "may we assume the results were exceptional?"
Bibi Dong's lips curved into a faint smile, her tone carrying a hint of pride. "Exceptional doesn't even begin to describe it," she said.
"From this day forward, Xuan Yan is my personal disciple. He will be trained under my guidance, and Spirit Hall will spare no effort or resource for his development. Remember this moment... the future of Spirit Hall stands before you."
The elders bowed once more, their voices unified. "Yes, Your Majesty."
...
Bibi Dong led Xuan Yan down a corridor that ended at a door.
As they walked, she occasionally glanced at him from the corner of her eye, her expression softening with every step.
Though she kept her composure as the Pope, the corners of her lips betrayed a subtle warmth.
Stopping in front of the door, she pushed it open, revealing a stunning, private courtyard bathed in soft sunlight.
In the middle stood a large wooden house, simple yet elegant, surrounded by well-maintained gardens and a small koi pond.
Holding his hand gently, she led Xuan Yan toward the house.
"Yan'er," she said with a soft smile, "this is your new home."
Xuan Yan looked around, his golden eyes gleaming with curiosity. "Yes, Teacher. It's amazing."
Bibi Dong chuckled, pleased with his enthusiasm, and both of them made their way to the house.
"This is my private quarters, so no one without my permission can come here..."
"Yes, teacher."
She opened the front door, revealing a warm and welcoming interior.
The furniture was modest but crafted from fine wood, exuding a sense of understated luxury. A spiral staircase wound its way to the upper floors.
As they walked upo the staircase, she pointed out the various rooms. "This floor is for personal quarters," she explained.
"This room here is yours." She gestured to a door. "The one to your left belongs to Nana, your senior sister."
Xuan Yan raised his gaze to look at her "I have a senior sister?"
With a nod, she ruffled his hair gently "Mhm, my first disciple. I will introduce you to her later."
Bibi Dong opened the door to his room.
Inside was a cozy space with a large bed, a study desk, and a window that overlooked the tranquil courtyard.
She smiled warmly at him. "You can settle in and rest here for today. Tomorrow, we'll go to the Star Dou Forest to acquire your first spirit ring."
Xuan Yan nodded his head "Thank you, Teacher."
Satisfied, Bibi Dong patted his shoulder lightly and left the room, closing the door behind her.
Xuan Yan took a moment to take it all in.
Taking a deep breath, he stepped toward the bed and flopped down onto it, sinking into the soft mattress.
'Well, now that I am here...'
'System'
