Douluo Continent V: Suppressing Tang San with the Might of the Super Beast God

Six years later, in Wuhun City.

At noon, inside the main hall of the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong reclined gracefully on the papal chair, a satisfied smile on her stunningly beautiful face.

Not far in front of her, a handsome young man dressed in a white and gold outfit was practicing his boxing.

"call……"

Ten minutes later, the handsome young man stopped punching and kicking, and large beads of sweat slid down his cheeks.

"Xiao Qiu, come and rest for a bit..."

Seeing the handsome young man, Qiu Hougong, stop what he was doing, Bibi Dong slowly sat up straight and waved for him to come over.

"Mother, was there anything I did wrong during the training just now?"

Qiu Hougong walked up to Bibi Dong and asked with a smile.

Under Bibi Dong's meticulous care and training for six years, Qiu Hougong's height has reached 1.75 meters, and his own realm has changed from the original level 23 Great Soul Master to level 45 Soul Master. His actual combat strength has also increased significantly.

"Your breathing is steady, and your lower body is solid. Among your peers, there should be no one on the continent who can rival you."

Bibi Dong picked up a handkerchief to wipe Qiu Hougong's sweat. While feeling happy, she also marveled at her own good fortune in having such a child whose appearance, talent, and personality were all of the highest quality.

"Mother, you flatter me. I still have many shortcomings that I need your guidance on."

Qiu Hougong gave a bright smile, then slowly walked behind Bibi Dong and began to massage her.

"You child, the truth is the truth, why are you being so modest..."

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes slightly, savoring the moment before speaking, "Today is your birthday, Xiao Qiu. Is there anything you'd like?"

"I don't really want anything. As long as it's something from my mother and sisters, that's fine with me..."

Qiu Hougong replied with a smile.

"Okay. I ask you this every year, it's the same every year..."

Bibi Dong stretched her hand behind her back, and the next second Qiu Hougong's head was under her palm for her to stroke. "But this year will be a little different from usual."

"Different? Is it Xue'er's side?"

Qiu Hougong inquired.

"That's right, Xue'er is currently going through a crucial period and can't get away, so she won't be able to come back to celebrate your birthday with you this year."

Bibi Dong nodded in reply.

"Sister Xue'er, you're all alone out there, won't you encounter any danger?"

Thinking of that golden figure, Qiu Hougong couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Xue'er has four elders and guardians sent by your mother and your grandfather, so you don't need to worry about her safety."

Bibi Dong patted Qiu Hougong's hand, which had become somewhat large, to comfort him.

When the topic of Qian Renxue's infiltration of the Heavenly Dou Empire came up, Bibi Dong felt both worried and helpless.

When the conflict between mother and daughter was finally resolved, Bibi Dong wanted Qian Renxue to return directly from the Heaven Dou Empire. After all, the main reason she sent her there wasn't actually to outwit Heaven Dou. However, the child's personality was like her own; once she set her mind on something, she wouldn't easily turn back. This made it difficult for Bibi Dong to force her to return, so she could only further ensure her safety by sending more people.

"Um... Mother, there's something I'd like to ask you about."

Qiu Hougong spoke up.

"Oh? What is it?"

Bibi Dong tilted her head and asked.

"I want to leave home temporarily and go out to gain some experience."

Qiu Hougong said cautiously.

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong's delicate body tensed up at first, then slowly relaxed after a few seconds. "Have you decided where you want to go?"

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to the Heavenly Dou Empire."

Qiu Hougong replied.

"...Okay, when? Do you need Nana to come out with you?"

Bibi Dong paused for two seconds before agreeing, her heart filled with understanding yet also with reluctance.

“No need for Mother. You can’t be alone. Please ask Sister Nana to stay home with you. I’ll take Xiaowu with me.”

Qiu Hougong said.

"Her? No way..."

Bibi Dong waved her hand, gesturing for Qiu Hougong to sit down beside her. "This beast has always harbored ulterior motives. It's really too unsafe for you to take her out."

"Mother, you don't need to worry. I believe Xiaowu wouldn't do that. Besides, even if she has ulterior motives, I have ways to deal with it."

Qiu Hougong held Bibi Dong's hand and said. Although Qiu Hougong had always treated Xiao Wu with sincerity over the years, Xiao Wu's affection for him had remained zero. However, this wasn't incomprehensible; after all, what normal person could easily develop feelings for someone who captured and harmed them, even if that person wasn't the one who directly attacked them?

"You, sigh. I really don't understand what you're trying to do..."

Bibi Dong gently tapped Qiu Hougong's forehead and then said, "In that case, what do you think about having Elder Lingyuan stay by your side to protect you?"

"I will follow my mother's arrangements in everything."

Qiu Hougong agreed. He had a good relationship with Lingyuan Douluo and was well aware of his personal strength. Although he knew that Lingyuan Douluo was no match for Tang Hao in a head-on confrontation, Qiu Hougong was not worried. He had prepared a big surprise for Tang Hao before setting off, guaranteeing him a "wonderful" experience.

"Okay, go find Nana and play. Mother still has some documents to read."

With a peculiar smile on her face, Bibi Dong glanced at Qiu Hougong, then waved to him and said.

Besides Lingyuan Douluo, she was still worried and planned to go and check on him herself. However, she didn't need to tell Qiu Hougong about this; she would just treat it as a surprise for him.

"Yes, Mother. Please take good care of yourself and get plenty of rest."

Seeing Bibi Dong's gaze, Qiu Hougong couldn't help but blush. He hadn't expected that she had already noticed the change in his relationship with Hu Liena. He had wanted to tell her before, but now it seemed unnecessary.

"Go, go..."

Bibi Dong smiled and waved again, only lowering her hand after Qiu Hougong left and the doors of the Papal Palace were completely closed.

Love comes from the heart, yet one may not know it.

After searching for many days, I finally recognized it.

May it dwell forever in my soul.

"A constant cycle of birth and death is impossible to complete."

After whispering to herself, Bibi Dong concealed the endless tenderness in her beautiful eyes and refocused her attention on the documents in her hands.

……

After leaving the Papal Palace, Qiu Hougong went without hesitation to the training ground where Hu Liena often stayed.

When he arrived, Hu Liena, who had just finished her training, was resting under the ring.

"Xiao Qiu, you're here."

Seeing Qiu Hougong walking towards her, Hu Liena immediately stood up happily, then quickly ran to his side and took his arm.

"Yes, Sister Nana. You've worked hard during training."

Qiu Hougong smiled and wiped away Hu Liena's sweat as he spoke.

Six years have passed, and now seventeen-year-old Hu Liena has not only reached level forty-six in soul power, but her temperament has also become more and more charming and beautiful with age.

"It's not hard work, I just missed you~"

Hu Liena tugged at Qiu Hougong's arm and said coquettishly.

Since the two confirmed their relationship three and a half months ago, Hu Liena has transformed from an older sister figure into a clingy little fox, which Qiu Hougong is very happy about. After all, who wouldn't like a well-behaved, clingy, and beautiful girlfriend?

"I miss you as well……"

Qiu Hougong smiled and patted Hu Liena's head, then looked at the two people fighting fiercely on the stage, "Brother Xieyue and Brother Yan, are you sparring again?"

"Yeah, it's so boring to play these games even though you know there's no clear winner..."

Hearing this, Hu Liena was a little helpless. "Never mind them for now. They've learned a few new dishes. Want to try some?"

"Of course, I can't possibly refuse food cooked by Sister Nana herself, but let's wait a bit..."

Qiu Hougong smiled and nodded, "Brother Xieyue and Brother Yan are currently locked in a fierce battle. It would be impolite for us to leave without saying a word."

"Oh, we're all family here, Big Brother and Yan won't blame you."

Hu Liena said indifferently.

"Sister Nana, this isn't right..."

Qiu Hougong gently squeezed Hu Liena's soft, boneless hand, then corrected her, "It's precisely because we're family that we should pay more attention to manners. This is completely different from dealing with outsiders."

Hu Liena thought about it for a moment and nodded in agreement, "Yes, Xiao Qiu, you're right. Let's wait a little longer."

"Okay, Nana, move a little closer this way so you can see it more clearly."

"Okay, Xiao Qiu, come closer too, it'll be more comfortable this way."

……

While Qiu Hougong and Hu Liena were deeply in love, the battle on the arena gradually entered a heated phase.

"Yan, I told you. Your attacks are fierce and domineering, but unfortunately, they are too slow. If you continue to fight at this pace, you will never be able to hit me."

With two moon blades flying up and down, Xie Yue, whose soul power level had reached level forty-six, laughed.

"Hmph, so what if you can't hit me? You can't break through my defense either."

Covered in fiery red granite, Yan, whose soul power level had reached level forty-five, looked at Xie Yue and said.

Since it was just a friendly spar, both of them were only using their martial spirits and their first and second spirit skills to fight. With one lacking high speed and the other lacking high attack power, their battle turned into a tug-of-war of endurance and patience, which is why Hu Liena said it was boring.

"That's right, shall we settle this with a single move today?"

Xie Yue took a few steps back and looked at Yan with a smile.

"Fine, I've been wanting to get tired of this kind of boring fight for ages."

Yan agreed, and the flames on his body began to grow even hotter.

"Let me make it clear first, no one can complain if they suffer a loss, and we can't let it interfere with tomorrow's training."

Xie Yue said, and the two silver-gleaming moon blades, under their master's command, exuded a chilling aura.

"What you said is exactly what I wanted to say."

Yan stared at Xie Yue and said. The next second, the third spirit ring around his body suddenly lit up, as did Xie Yue's third spirit ring.

"Third Soul Skill: Hellfire!"

"Third Soul Skill - Break!"

As the sound rang out, Xie Yue's blade wind first sliced ​​Yan's flames in two, then Yan raised his arms to catch it.

Xie Yue, on the other hand, stood still, letting the flames pass by on both sides of him.

"Brother! Are you alright?"

Hu Liena stood up and quickly ran to Xie Yue's side to check him over.

"It's alright, Nana. Yan's attack didn't hit me..."

Seeing Hu Liena's concern, Xie Yue, having sheathed her moon blade, smiled and replied, then looked at Qiu Hougong standing beside her with some surprise, "Young Master, when did you arrive?"

"I just arrived not long ago, Brother Xieyue..."

Qiu Hougong patted Xie Yue's shoulder and laughed, then turned to look at Yan, who had already deactivated his martial spirit possession and was walking towards him, "Brother Yan, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, young master. Xie Yue's attack just now didn't break through my defenses."

Yan waved his arm and said.
