Douluo Continent: The Book of Witness and Peerless Tang Sect

It's impossible for Beibei not to mess up her first attempt at making pastries. But sometimes, as long as you're generous with the ingredients, the final product might not look good, but it's unlikely to smell bad (unless it's burnt).

And so, as Beibei's movements became more and more skillful, the fragrance emanating from the Green Lake Pavilion gradually drifted further and further away.

"Gaga, gaga"

Just as Beibei was looking at the unrecognizable dough balls after they came out of the pot with some speechlessness, the same goose calls that came from the surface of Cuihu Lake yesterday afternoon.

He kneaded the tattered dough in his hand, then looked at the filling that had leaked out. Beibei was a little stunned; he hadn't expected the emerald swan to actually be attracted by the aroma of food.

To be honest, neither Longyou nor Beibei really took the matter of luring and abducting the Emerald Swan to heart. It was purely for fun; they were just killing time anyway, and had nothing better to do than wait around.

After all, the flock of emerald swans that appeared yesterday afternoon were at least thousand-year-old soul beasts. Even if they had lived in this peaceful Emerald Lake since birth, never having seen killing or conflict, and were simple-minded, with thousands of years to their name, how could they possibly sell themselves for a bite to eat?

Do you think the thousand-year-old jade swan is a little white jade tiger named Bai Muyang, who was only born an hour or two ago? You can kidnap it just because it has milk to eat.

Speaking of Bai Muyang, Long You is actually a little scratching his head. This little guy has passed the first day or two after he was born. Although his eyes are not yet open, he is becoming bolder and his little legs are getting stronger. He has started to crawl around everywhere.

Although it still clung to Long You while sleeping, once it woke up, it left its mark all over the room. After cleaning up its bottom a few times, Long You quickly lost patience. Considering that the little guy was, after all, a soul beast with thick skin, he immediately slapped the little guy's bottom a few times.

Rackling to recall the "tricks and secrets" for training pets to defecate in a designated spot that he had seen online in his previous life, Long You got up early in the morning to try to teach this little tiger cub, which hadn't even opened its eyes yet, a survival skill.

This is why Beibei was able to steam the dough into flatbread, and why the Jade Swan reappeared, while Longyou hadn't reacted at all.

Time flew by as they trained the tiger and teased the goose. In this safe environment, both Beibei and Longyou almost forgot what they were there to do.

The Little White Jade Flame Crystal Tiger was, after all, a spirit-attribute soul beast with basic intelligence. Long You's training was difficult at first, but he quickly found a sense of accomplishment in it.

After repeatedly messing up the pastries she wanted to make, Beibei got a little carried away. Relying on the fact that everything she made would be eaten up by the group of jade swans with bottomless stomachs, Beibei started messing around on the cutting board and steamer.

The sun was high in the sky, and the sun was setting. Little Sunset had fallen asleep after being roused by Long You, and the Emerald Swan had been fed by Bei Bei. Just then, Bourne suddenly reminded Long You that Bei Bei had sent him a video call request.

"What kind of situation..."

With Xiao Muyang tucked into his backpack and slung over his back, Long You happily answered Bei Bei's video call. He was about to ask his senior brother why he was video calling him at this hour when he was shocked to find that Bei Bei's usually refined and handsome face was now covered with a cunning smile as he leaned close to a large white goose that was fast asleep with its head buried in its wings.

Looking at the white goose's feathers, which were tinged with emerald green, what else could it be but an emerald swan? Long You felt as if a thousand mythical beasts were galloping through his mind, and he had a thousand complaints he couldn't keep quiet about.

However, in front of the sleeping Jade Swan, who was clearly quite at ease with Beibei, no matter how turbulent his heart was, Long You could only force himself to swallow the national treasure on his lips and "distort" his expression as he extended a thumb.

Seeing that Bei Bei's smug expression was about to escalate, Long You, who had no desire to listen to this guy's boasting, rushed up to the third floor and stood next to Zhang Lexuan.

[If you're so capable, Beibei, then keep acting like a jerk in front of your childhood sweetheart. If you're not, well, just honestly confess what happened.]

Bourne placed the tablet in front of Zhang Lexuan, and Long You secretly plotted his next move. He, Long You, was always the one showing off in front of Bei Bei; how could he let Bei Bei have the chance to show off back?

Zhang Lexuan had seen the Byrne tablet before and knew how to use it. Beibei, seeing Zhang Lexuan's face appear on the tablet, immediately suppressed the smug expression on her face, just as Long You had predicted.

There's no need to go into detail about the events; just know that after Beibei finished recounting her story, Zhang Lexuan looked back and forth between Longyou and Beibei several times with a rather complicated expression.

All those little incidents are over, now for the main course. The emerald swan, who hadn't opened its eyes even when Beibei was sitting cross-legged beside it telling stories, suddenly poked its head out from under its wings, quacking softly at Beibei's sleeve.

Before Beibei could even react to what was happening, the Emerald Lake, which had already fallen into twilight, was suddenly bathed in light. At the very least, the area around the Emerald Lake Pavilion, the lakeside cottage, was now enveloped in a sacred glow.

"Flawless light."

The three people on both sides of the video, watching this scene, all had words that had frequently appeared in their minds these past few days.

Unfortunately, the Banyan Tree House quickly lost Beibei's view. After the dazzling light flashed again, the video call, which had been relatively stable, abruptly ended with a black screen.

"Senior Sister, can soul power block the communication signal of my soul communication device? I didn't notice this before! Is it because my strength is insufficient?"

Looking at the black screen of the Bourne tablet in his hand, Long You frowned deeply. If a sufficiently strong fluctuation of soul power could indeed interfere with communication signals, then all the communication soul tools he, Long You, had made, such as telegraph machines, mobile phones, and walkie-talkies, would need to be completely redesigned.

The development value of communication soul tools that cannot be used for stable wartime communication will be greatly reduced.

However, Long You didn't believe that the method of "flawless light" blocking video communication signals was merely a high-level soul power fluctuation. Fan Yu and Qian Duoduo had both used cell phones before, and if soul power fluctuations could truly cause such significant interference to communication signals, they couldn't possibly have missed it.

As expected, when faced with Long You's question, Zhang Lexuan, though unable to hide the worry in her eyes, still answered:

"That's not soul power, it's a domain. It's the Light Judgment Domain, unique to the 'Flawless Light' soul beast race, and it's an innate talent they possess."
