chapter-36

(An: After the poll for the cover is over, number three is the winner)

--- Chapter 36 ---

"Hi, everyone." Yunlong smiled at the spirit hall elders, who are speechlessly staring at him.

"Hmm, why did you guys become so quiet?" He added while tilting his head, which makes the spirit hall elders snap out from their daze.

"Y-Your majesty..." Ci Xue raised his hand while shifting his gaze at Bibi Dong.

"Is he truly your son?" He asked, to which Bibi Dong responded with a gentle nod.

"Yunlong is my precious son." Bibi Dong honestly answered before forming a beautiful smile on her face, which caught her subordinate off guard because they never saw her smile like this before.

'How can her majesty make such a beautiful smile, this boy unquestionably her son?!' Yu Long thought while staring at Bibi Dong before shifting his gaze at Yunlong.

All of the elders thought about the same thing "How?!" they never saw Bibi Dong make such a smile like this because she usually would only coldly smiled or maintained a calm expression on her face.

But, right now, with their eyes, they can see Bibi Dong is beautifully smiling when mentioning that Yunlong is her son.

"Your majesty, Is it okay to test your son with our disciples?" Ci Xue suddenly asked, which makes the rest of the elders frown at him.

"Well, of course, if the young master isn't willing to accept the fight, that won't be a problem either." He added while giving Yunlong a bold gaze.

'If my disciple could defeat her majesty new disciple and her son, my reputation would rise.' Ci Xue thought while quietly staring at Bibi Dong, or more precisely, her throne.

'Ci Xue, what a foolish man. Do you think I didn't know what are you thinking?' Bibi Dong thought while calmly observing Ci Xue's expression.

'From my teacher era, I already know what you are aiming for.' She inwardly added before turning her gaze back at her beloved son.

"Hmm... Yunlong, do you want to accept the test." Bibi Dong said while staring at Yunlong, who is giving her a nod.

"Sure, I don't have a problem with a friendly spar," Yunlong responded with a smirk on his face, which makes Ci Xue inwardly chuckled.

'Oh my, this is going to be interesting.' Chrysanthemum Douluo thought while covering his mouth.

'Did you think her majesty son is an ordinary child? What a poor mindset.' He mockingly commented while staring at Ci Xue like he's an idiot.

All the elders know what Ci Xue is thinking, but they deliberately didn't stop him as they know their limit.

'Even though young lord's strength is unknown, her majesty wouldn't do this if she's not confident enough in her son's power.' Ghost Douluo thought while shaking his head.

'I'm curious just how powerful this young lord is...' He added while calmly staring at Yunlong from behind his mask.

Qian Renxue was shaking her head in the hidden room when she heard Ci Xue's words.

"This is will be a one-sided fight." Qian Renxue commented while releasing a sigh.

"I'm pitying their disciple because Yunlong would defeat them with no efforts." She added while remembering just how powerful her little brother is.

"Okay, let's do the fight tomorrow morning at the training ground." Bibi Dong stated while giving her subordinates a nod.

"You guys can go now." She casually added, to which her subordinate responded with a bow before walking out of the throne room.

"You probably would have three or five opponents tomorrow," Bibi Dong said while stepping out from her throne.

"Are you nervous?" She asked while staring at her son, who is shaking his head.

"Nope, I'm pretty excited to fight them and hoping they give me a good fight," Yunlong replied while smirking, which makes Bibi Dong softly giggled.

"I see... What about you, Xiaoyu." Bibi Dong asked while turning her gaze at her disciple, who is peacefully staring at them.

"Same... I hope they give me a good fight." Chu Xiaoyu silently replied, but Bibi Dong can see an excitement flickering in her eyes, and that's because she wants to test her power after being trained for one week.

As they talked with each other, Qian Renxue and Chu Yunxi entered the room and walked toward them.

"Well, I'm pretty sure Yunlong would quickly defeat them." Qian Renxue commented with a smile on her face as she arrived at Yunlong's side.

"Even I, who is a spirit elder with three spirit rings, can't defeat him." She added while patting her little brother's head, which makes Yunlong helplessly smiling at her.

"Big Sister, you only have to train more, you know," Yunlong responded, which makes Qian Renxue's mouth twitched in annoyance.

"You are intentionally saying that to irritate me, aren't you?!" Qian Renxue said while ruffling Yunlong's hair into a mess.

"Hehe... I don't know." Yunlong laughed before using his shadow flash steps to dodge her hands.

'Their relationship is good.' Bibi Dong thought while calmly enjoying this scene before letting out a slight chuckle.

'Family, huh.' She added in her head while looking at Yunlong, who easily dodged every Qian Renxue's hand grasps.

--- The following day ---

We could see Yunlong meditated on lush grass in the garden and calmly breathing while his golden-threaded handkerchief is floating above his head.

"Just a little bit more..." Yunlong muttered while feeling a surge of spirit energy in his body.

After a few seconds, we could see Yunlong opening his eyes, showing us a pair of reddish-black eyes.

"Level 30." Bibi Dong's voice entered Yunlong's ear, making him turn around and saw his mother staring at him.

"Yep, I breakthrough to level 30, I'm awesome, right," Yunlong replied with a smile on his face

"Mm, my son is awesome." Bibi Dong responded while smiling at him.

"But, you should not directly absorb a new spirit ring now." She added while making a stern expression.

"Uh... Okay." Yunlong responded while nodding his head.

"Hmm, You should wait until your cultivation base is firm enough," Bibi Dong nodded her head because she was pleased by her son's response.

'Maybe after that, Yunlong would able to absorb ten thousand years old spirit ring as his third spirit ring.' Bibi Dong thought while shaking her head.

Bibi Dong is handing her right hand at Yunlong, which he gladly accepted before saying, "Well, Renxue, Xiaoyu, and Yunxi are waiting for us."

As mother and son walked toward the gate, they could see three people waiting for them.

"You already breakthrough to level 30?!" Qian Renxue said with a widened eyes while staring at Yunlong.

"Yep, pretty good, right," Yunlong replied while giving her a smirk.

'Monster...' Qian Renxue thought while pondering about her little brother, who is very abnormal compared to the others.

'I have to grow stronger.' She added in her heart while gripping her hands before walking away toward the training ground.

'Her pride as a genius is shattered.' Bibi Dong thought while staring at Qian Renxue's back.

'But, this is okay because she will try to grow stronger to surpass Yunlong.' She commented while giving her daughter a nod.

"Let's go... " Bibi Dong said while walking toward the training ground, followed by Yunlong, Chu Yunxi, and Chu Xiaoyu.

''Let's see just how powerful my opponents are.' Yunlong thought while calmly turning his gaze at the skies.
