After returning to the Soul City, Su Cheng and Bibi Dong spent the following two years quietly practicing without leaving. During this time, Qian Daoliu also learned about the events between Bibi Dong and the Haotian Sect from Su Cheng. He didn't say much about it, but he was puzzled.
In theory, since Su Cheng knew about the stories between several transcendent Douluo, he must also know about Tang Chen's situation. So why did he choose to directly target the Haotian Sect founded by Tang Chen, disregarding Tang Chen's face?
Qian Daoliu understood that Bo Saixi had a deeper affection for Tang Chen. After all, when the three of them were together, Bo Saixi once said, "Whoever becomes a god, she will choose him." This statement clearly expressed her intentions.
They both knew that as guardians of the gods, neither Qian Daoliu nor Bo Saixi could become gods in their lifetime. By saying this, she had already implied her choice.
It's just that at that time, Tang Chen was either arrogant or didn't understand the situation, and ultimately did not choose to stay there.
During these two years in the Soul City, Su Cheng lived an exciting life, even to the point of worrying him.
Su Cheng quietly put away his previous thoughts. Bibi Dong was not only not stupid but rather quite clever, learning things at an astonishing speed.
In the past, he had judged people with colored glasses. The reason why Bibi Dong did so many foolish things in the past was not because of her poor aptitude but because her teacher didn't know how to teach.
After she learned to read, take notes, and reflect on her own thoughts, her daily conduct and perspective on issues far exceeded Su Cheng's expectations.
This was certainly a good thing. The faster Bibi Dong grew, the greater Su Cheng's chances of success in the future.
But another problem arose during this time, which was the issue of Bibi Dong's feelings.
Before this, Su Cheng had assumed that the person she liked was Yu Xiaogang. Because in reality, Bibi Dong was like this, and even more so in the original timeline. She had multiple encounters with Yu Xiaogang after their first meeting in this simulation, clearly knowing him early on.
But after so many years together, he finally had to admit that he was wrong.
In the past year, Bibi Dong had become increasingly proactive. Whenever she had free time, she would come up with various excuses to come and find him, and even occasionally suggest traveling together again.
Although he always refused, her increasingly undisguised words and actions, expressions, and gestures all revealed her passionate feelings.
During these days, she became more and more bold, sometimes even coming to the Elder's Hall to eat with him.
Although Su Cheng always maintained a silent demeanor and never took off his mask in front of her, she always seemed completely indifferent, casually telling him about various trivial matters that happened in her daily life.
These details constantly stirred his nerves.
As they spent more time together, Bibi Dong also got to know him better, constantly testing the boundaries.
Su Cheng himself was not a person of pure heart and few desires, so it was impossible for him to remain indifferent to a woman like Bibi Dong.
"This can't go on like this."
In the Star Dou Forest, watching Bibi Dong sitting not far away, quietly absorbing the soul ring, Su Cheng silently made up his mind.
The three years of traveling and accumulating combat experience were not in vain.
Both Bibi Dong's state of mind and her control and utilization of power had changed drastically.
Moreover, the effects of the Heartbroken red potion were still working.
Now she had successfully advanced to the level of a Soul Douluo, absorbing the soul ring of a ninety-thousand-year-old Spider Emperor Beast as her eighth soul ring, preparing to promote to a Title Douluo.
There was no need for silver needles.
After practicing the Second Volume of the Innate Technique, coupled with the reinforcement of the immortal grass consolidating her physical foundation, Bibi Dong's physical quality was enough to withstand the pressure of this level of soul ring.
In fact, with her accumulation, it was not impossible for her to absorb a hundred-thousand-year soul ring at this time. Although it was a bit risky, with Su Cheng guarding her by the side, the success rate was still very high.
But there was no need for that.
Bibi Dong still had a second martial soul, and after becoming a Title Douluo, there would be plenty of opportunities for her to absorb higher-level soul rings, so there was no need to rush.
Currently, she only had an eighty-level soul power, and she couldn't absorb two soul rings at the same time. Su Cheng didn't want to alert the several hundred-thousand-year soul beasts nearby in the Star Dou Forest.
Time passed second by second.
An hour later, Bibi Dong slowly opened her eyes, and the dark eighth soul ring under her feet was dark and deep.
She had finally successfully advanced to the level of a Soul Douluo.
"Congratulations."
Su Cheng's voice also carried a hint of joy as he looked at Bibi Dong and softly congratulated her, walking slowly to her side.
Bibi Dong first quietly felt the extent of her current advancement, then looked up at Su Cheng.
Her usually exquisite and bright eyes suddenly appeared somewhat misty at this moment. White skin around her eyes took on a blush, making her look unusually enchanting, emitting a stunning allure.
At this moment, her blurry eyes seemed to be shrouded in layers of mist, with faint traces of purple light shining through.
"Cheng Xue, thank you," she said.
With these words, she threw herself into Su Cheng's embrace.
Bibi Dong wasn't too tall, standing a full head shorter than Su Cheng.
But her figure was excellent, with perfect proportions.
At this moment, her ample and firm bosom pressed tightly against Su Cheng's chest, the soft touch making his heart flutter.
At the same time, a pair of soft hands caressed his back.
"Bibi Dong, are you crazy?!" Su Cheng whispered, quickly pushing Bibi Dong away by pressing on her shoulders.
She used a soul skill, and it was an extremely rare mental-type soul skill, otherwise Su Cheng wouldn't have been caught off guard.
The faint purple halos in her eyes were a sign of activating soul skills.
This kind of soul skill couldn't restrain Su Cheng.
With just a sword intent, he could easily shatter the mental web formed by her spiritual power.
But at this moment, Bibi Dong was completely defenseless.
Of course, he could instantly resolve it with violence.
The cost would be Bibi Dong suffering severe mental damage, and even her soul foundation might be harmed.
Helpless, Su Cheng could only suppress his instinct to counterattack and push her away with physical strength.
However, Bibi Dong was using a lot of force at the moment, even reaching out her arm to wrap around his waist, her cheek pressing against his chest, and strands of fragrance coming from her hair.
"Don't move, just for a moment, just a moment is enough..." Su Cheng hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but then exerted even more force, no longer caring whether he might hurt her, and used his soul power to separate them.
Looking at Bibi Dong standing in front of him, her face flushed, still breathing lightly, Su Cheng furrowed his brows tightly. "Bibi Dong, what are you trying to do?!"
"I..." Bibi Dong opened her mouth, then suddenly reached out her arm to touch Su Cheng's mask.
But the next moment, her hand was tightly grasped by Su Cheng.
"..." Su Cheng didn't say anything more, just silently stared at her.
"I, I just wanted to see your face." Bibi Dong felt a little flustered under his gaze and explained in a low voice.
After a long while, Su Cheng released her hand and sighed softly.
"Now that you have cultivated to the level of a Soul Douluo and your knowledge is rich enough, I have already taught you all the volumes of the Innate Technique. There's nothing more I can teach you. Next, I will travel on the mainland, and you should return to the Soul City to continue practicing."
"What?" Bibi Dong was stunned for a moment, then widened her eyes slightly and hurriedly said, "I can accompany you."
"No need." Su Cheng shook his head. "Now is not the time for you to relax. You need to quickly cultivate to become a Title Douluo."
"I can't do it on my own. There are many things I don't understand and need your guidance." Bibi Dong's voice carried a pleading tone. "Besides, it's also good for us to have each other's company. Although you are strong, as you said, there are many talents on the mainland, and you may encounter dangers yourself."
"...," Seeing Su Cheng's silence, she continued,
"Besides, didn't you say you would need my help in the future? If I can advance earlier, I can help you sooner, right?"
"...," Su Cheng's eyes flickered slightly, and he said seriously, "Exactly because of this, you should work hard to cultivate on your own. If we stay together, it will only slow down your progress. As I just said, I have nothing more to teach you."
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong stared at him blankly for a moment before saying softly, "You want to avoid me."
Su Cheng didn't explain further or refute her, just turned his head aside, avoiding her gaze.
It was good that Bibi Dong could realize this.
The relationship between the two of them couldn't progress any further.
"You don't need to do this. I won't do such a thing again." Bibi Dong reached out and grabbed his sleeve, explaining in a panic, "It's because of the soul ring. After advancing just now, my mind was a bit chaotic. It was just a momentary impulse."
"...Wait until you reach level ninety, then come find me in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes," Su Cheng patted Bibi Dong's arm, indicating for her to let go, "By then, I will help you find a hundred-thousand-year soul beast and attach a soul ring to your second martial soul."
He was telling the truth just now. Now that Bibi Dong's cultivation had entered the right track and her knowledge accumulation was rich enough, even without his guidance, she could still steadily cultivate to become a Title Douluo.
Moreover, her advancement speed was a bit slower than he initially expected. Even with the assistance of the technique and immortal grass, without the blessing of divine power, she could only increase her soul power by one level at most in the year after becoming a Soul Douluo.
Continuing to stay together like this would mean spending too much time together.
