Deep inside the dark cave, the air was cold and heavy. It was pitch black all around, making it impossible to see even a hand in front of one's face. Although Ning Rongrong was held safely in Su Yan's warm arms, she still felt a bit scared. She leaned closer to him and whispered, "Brother Su Yan, isn't it too dark in here? Rongrong is a little bit scared."
Su Yan felt a bit amused and shook his head. He looked down at the girl in his arms and teased her, "Weren't you quite brave just a moment ago, Little Demoness? Now you're telling me you're scared?"
Ning Rongrong did not let go. Instead, she tightly hugged Su Yan's neck with both of her hands. she whispered back to him, "I am only scared because it is so dark, not because I am afraid to cultivate. I am not afraid at all. Brother Su Yan, whatever Zhuqing can do, I can do too. How about we try to cultivate the Spirit Fusion Skill together today?"
As he listened to the Little Demoness speak, Su Yan reached out his hand to a place he probably should not have touched. He gently pinched her little bun and asked, "Then, Rongrong, are you really ready for this?"
"Mm!" Ning Rongrong replied with a very serious look on her face. "Rongrong has already decided on Brother Su Yan for the rest of her life. Even if Brother Su Yan tries to shake me off or leave me, he won't be able to do it. I am yours forever."
"Hmph!" After she finished speaking, she made a cute sound and slowly slid down from Su Yan's warm embrace. She then began to use the Spirit Ability called Devour. This was a skill she had learned from watching Zhu Zhuqing. She used it to attack Su Yan. Although she used the Spirit Ability very clumsily because she was new at it, Ning Rongrong's sweet mouth and her acting was very effective. She managed to subdue one-third of Su Yan's Spirit power almost immediately.
At the same time, Bibi Dong was in a different place. Inside the Spirit Hall, within the quiet Pope's Bedchamber, Bibi Dong sat up from her bed. She reached out and patted Hu Liena's little bottom to wake her up. She said, "Nana, there is definitely no one watching us now. Get up and chat with your teacher for a while."
"Ah?" Hu Liena opened her eyes in a daze. She felt very tired and was ready to give up. "Teacher, I really don't know what we should chat about right now! It is so late."
Bibi Dong said calmly, "I have already thought about it. You just ask me some questions, and I will talk. It will be fine!"
Hu Liena thought for a moment and asked, "Teacher, what do you want to eat tomorrow?"
Bibi Dong replied, "Hmm, let's eat steamed buns again tomorrow!"
Hu Liena asked another strange question, "Teacher, if you use the venom of a venomous snake to poison another venomous snake, will the second snake die from the first snake's venom?"
Bibi Dong looked at her with three question marks in her mind. She did not know how to answer that.
Hu Liena continued, "Teacher, can walnuts that have been squeezed by a door still help boost a person's brain power?"
Again, Bibi Dong was confused. Hu Liena then asked, "Teacher, you always say that hair is hair. Why isn't it called head fur instead?"
Bibi Dong remained silent, not knowing what to say to her student's silly thoughts.
Back inside the dark cave, Su Yan was watching the chat between Bibi Dong and Hu Liena while he felt the effects of Ning Rongrong's Spirit Ability, Devour. He thought to himself about how to describe the feeling. The Little Demoness's sweet mouth was truly skilled at what she was doing.
Suddenly, a sound rang out. Ding!
The chat group had upgraded. The Host could now choose a Douluo World to invite new members into the group. Rewards were being distributed randomly because of the upgrade.
Congratulations to the Host for obtaining a god-bestowed spirit ring in its advanced version. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the Angel Holy Feather Grass. Congratulations to the Host for obtaining two Instant Teleportation items.
"Hiss!" Su Yan could not help but take a deep breath. The group really did upgrade. He thought that Bibi Dong had made a great contribution this time, but then he corrected himself. No, it was Rongrong who made the great contribution.
"Cough cough~" The Little Demoness seemed a bit choked by the sudden flow of energy. She mumbled softly, "Brother Su Yan, next time we cultivate like this, you have to give me a heads-up so I can be prepared. Too much spirit power all at once can choke a person."
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Su Yan gently rubbed her head and smiled. "Mm, it is my fault. Let's cultivate again. This time, I will definitely tell you in advance so you are ready."
After saying that, Su Yan spoke in his heart to the system. "Invite Dou 2 World."
In the Dou 2 World, things were happening as well. On a carriage that was traveling from the Star Dou Great Forest toward Shrek City, a girl named Tang Ya was sound asleep. Suddenly, her eyes flew open. A message appeared in her mind: Welcome to the loving and killing family.
"Who is there?" Tang Ya suddenly spoke out loud. Her companions, Beibei and Huo Yuhao, were also in the carriage. They opened their eyes at the same time and looked at Tang Ya nervously.
Tang Ya was stunned for a moment. She looked at a jade mirror that had appeared out of thin air in her hand. A hint of anger appeared in her eyes. She thought to herself, "Damn it! Could this be a spirit tool from the Sun Moon Empire trying to trick me?"
"What's wrong, Teacher Xiaoya?" Beibei and Huo Yuhao asked her at the same time.
Tang Ya said seriously, "This is..."
But before she could finish, Tang Ya felt a flash of sparks and lightning before her eyes. Her whole body instantly became stiff. She felt electrocuted and numb all over. She was not the only one; another person felt the same way.
"Xiaoya!" Beibei and Huo Yuhao were very startled when they saw Tang Ya suddenly roll her eyes back in her head.
Tang Ya recovered a little bit after a moment. She waved her hand and said, "Wait, just wait a moment. I don't know what is going on yet. I need to sort this out first."
After saying that, Tang Ya began to look at the chat group. She was a very carefree person, so she had not even looked at it until now. She saw names like Bibi Dong and Hu Liena. Several question marks popped up in her mind. She felt like she had seen these names somewhere before in history books.
Then she saw the name Su Yan. This was a name she did not know or recognize. She saw Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang as well.
"Ah? Sister Xiaotao is here too?" Tang Ya's eyes widened instantly. She began to carefully read the chat records in the group. The more she read, the more she could not believe what she was seeing.
Ten thousand years ago? The ancestor of the Tang Sect, Tang San? The Spirit Hall? Tang Ya was truly shocked now. At first, she had many doubts and could not believe any of it. But as she saw the chat records from the past few days and the messages from Ma Xiaotao, she realized it had to be true.
"Damn it!" she thought. "This scoundrel named Su Yan actually went out of his way to insult my Tang Sect ancestor, Tang San, in this chat group? He even said he beat the ancestor? How outrageous! How could Sister Xiaotao be tricked by a person like him?"
Meanwhile, in the other world, Hu Liena sent a message: "Teacher, that's enough. Look, the number of people in the chat group has increased by one."
Inside the Supreme Pontiff Palace, Hu Liena was excited. Her teacher really did have great foresight. Bibi Dong was also very happy.
"It is just as I expected!" Bibi Dong said. "It is late at night now, and the newcomer has just joined the group. They are sure to be woken up by the notification. As long as she is from the Dou 2 World, we will be in a good position this time."
Hu Liena nodded her head.
The chat group sent out more notifications. Since the group upgraded, the Administrator rewards were being distributed randomly. The reward was a god-bestowed spirit ring in its advanced version. All Administrators in the chat group could participate in the drawing for the reward. Also, member rewards were being given out. The reward was another advanced god-bestowed spirit ring, and all members could participate.
Bibi Dong sent a message: "Hello newcomer, quickly pick a name and chat with us. I am Supreme Pontiff Bibi Dong of Spirit Hall. I welcome your arrival on behalf of Su Yan. If you are from the Dou 2 World, maybe you can exchange some of those small spirit tools from your world for Spirit Bones that are tens of thousands of years old from our time."
Hu Liena was surprised when she saw this. Her teacher was so clever. If a normal person from the Dou 2 World saw this, they would definitely want to trade.
In the Dou 2 World, Tang Ya was completely stunned. She could not believe the information in the chat group. What shocked her the most was seeing that Huo Yuhao, the student she had just picked up in the forest, was called a Child of Luck.
Tang Ya reached out and pinched Huo Yuhao's face. She muttered, "I'm not dreaming, am I?" Huo Yuhao just looked at her, very confused.
