Chapter 25

Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Heaven Battle City, Dong Xing night market.

The bustling streets were filled with people. There were all kinds of snack stalls, restaurants, tea houses, inns, casinos… It had everything that one needed, and it was not inferior to the modern nightclubs that were filled with debauchery and luxury.

Especially with the tournament happening, the city’s nightlife for the past few months had been especially exciting.

Quite a few people recognized Bibi Dong and greeted her one after another, but they didn’t dare overstep. After all, she was already known as the saintess from Spirit Hall and she herself had the strength to instantly kill the geniuses from the upper sects. Was there anyone who would dare provoke her?

What was strange was that the man was beside the saintess. Although he was handsome, he was not dressed extravagantly. He looked like a farmer.

How could such a talented girl like the saintess be together with such a person? Could it be that the experts nowadays liked to dress in a low-key and ordinary manner?

They couldn’t help but start discussing, “Who’s that person next to the saintess?”

“I don’t know, he looks unremarkable. I’ve never seen him before. Is there such a person in Spirit Hall?”

“I’m not sure! Perhaps it’s a spirit master newly recruited by Spirit Hall to protect Bibi Dong?”

“No matter who he is, Bibi Dong is really beautiful. She’s only twelve years old and already so outstanding. I wonder what kind of stunner she’ll become in three or five years. I wonder who can marry her!”

“If I can get Bibi Dong’s heart, I’ll be willing to sacrifice thirty years of my life span!”

“…”

These were not the only discussions that went on that night. Following Su Zhe’s arrival, some travelers who relied on their spirit beasts and pets to perform were also in distress.

That very night, all of them lost their businesses.

This was all because of Su Zhe’s appearance.

The master of the subdued beasts had arrived and the aura of the beast taming domain was accurately transmitted to every spirit beast in the streets. All the spirit beasts could only submit, causing those who made a living from it to exclaim in wonder.

The traveler who was playing with monkeys on the side of the road clutched the monkey’s rope and shouted, “Move, move! Why aren’t you spitting fire? Why are you on your knees?!”

The men sitting at the corner of the street were fighting with their armors. They were also furious. “Trash! Are you exhausted because you keep pestering your wife last night?!”

“Hello to all the audience and spirit masters! We’re the spirit chicken group that has been practicing for two and a half years. We’re good at singing, dancing, and acrobatics. Come, let’s start the music!”

“…”

He followed Bibi Dong to the night market’s streets. There was a bustling crowd around him, and there were those who were surviving on the streets with their arts. They were singing and dancing on temporary stages, performing acrobatics, and attracting an audience.

Some of those who were wealthy would then throw spirit gold coins to them.

Every time they encountered this kind of competition, they would perform all night long just to earn more money for their family.

Soon, the melodious singing came to an end, and the host shouted to the audience, “For tonight’s program, we’ve also prepared many original songs and dances. If you’re looking forward to it, please cheer with us until dawn!

“Sister Dong ‘er, what do you want to eat?”

The smell ofbarbecue lingered in his nose. Su Zhe asked Bibi Dong because he wanted to try it himself.

Although he would also make his own barbeque at the Leisure Manor, he always felt that it was not as good as the ones on the street.

In the end, Su Zhe concluded that it was probably due to the lack of the fragrance of the earth trench oil.

It was definitely because of those added flavours!

“Let’s go and have the barbeque over there.”

“It’s okay to eat a little occasionally but don’t have too much of it. Having too much may cause your stomach to turn upset.”

“Brother Su Zhe, you’re thinking too much. This street is located in the most prosperous part of Heaven Battle city. Most of the people who come here to spend money are either high ranking officials or spirit masters, so the requirements for the buildings or the food are much stricter. Of course, these ingredients are far inferior to the ones in the manor, but they’ve been carefully selected and will not be dirty.”

Bibi Dong had obviously scouted the place beforehand, and was waiting for Su Zhe to come over before hanging out with him in the streets.

She wasn’t lying. How would these roadside stalls dare to fake junk food?

If by any chance they were exposed by any spirit masters, not only would their stall be smashed, they might even be violently beaten up.

“Oh, it smells so good!”

The skewers in his hand were delicious.

“It does taste good, but it’s not as good as the ones that you made.”

Bibi Dong smiled sweetly. After all, they were all made of million year spirit beasts. The raw ingredient itself would make it unforgettable!

Not only was it delicious, it could also greatly increase one’s spirit power!

“If you like it, you can come over to Manor anytime when you’re free. By the way, I just finished making the super refrigerator that I mentioned last time. I can make you an iced salad then.”

Su Zhe nodded. He would always welcome his good friend with open arms.

“An iced salad?”

Bibi Dong had never eaten such food which made her curious. After hearing Su Zhe’s description of it, she looked forward to it even more.

Looking at Su Zhe’s sparkling eyes, she couldn’t help but fantasize about their future. Every day, she would ponder with Brother Su Zhe about what kind of food to make and what children they would have. That kind of life seemed pretty good.

However, she had to be able to protect Su Zhe’s Manor first.

After all, Brother Su Zhe was an ignorant farmer and was not cruel enough. If people found out that he was so powerful and had so many God-level spirit beasts, people would visit him more often to ask him for help or even have evil intentions…

This would bring trouble to Su Zhe!

‘Hmm! As long as I can become Spirit Hall’s Supreme Pontiff one day, I’ll be able to protect Brother Su Zhe from those troublesome matters! It’ll be fine!’

Bibi Dong had a beautiful imagination. If Su Zhe knew, he would probably be very touched. ‘Damn it! Not only does she want me to live off her for a day, but she also wants me to live off her for the rest of my life!

Just as the two of them were being sweet, a group of tall young men appeared at the corner of the street of Dongxing night market. Their clothes were embroidered with the logo of the Clear Sky Sect, which made the passers-by feel intimidated and consciously avoid them.

“It’s the Clear Sky Sect’s people!”

“Stay away from them!”

“Don’t provoke them no matter what. They just lost a match today and are still mad about it. It’s said that when they left the competition grounds, they even smashed the things that belonged to the fans of Spirit Hall.”

“In this regard, the conflict between the spirit masters from Spirit Hall and the Clear Sky Sect isn’t minor. There were quite a few people who were accidentally injured.”

“We’re all weak spirit masters with no background! Don’t provoke them! The Clear Sky Hammer is no joke!”

“Spirit masters, what do you want? I’ll immediately prepare it for you!”

“Give me two pots of wine, five plates of peanuts, two roasted pork and a cold dish!”

The disciples of the Clear Sky Sect went to a semi-open-air restaurant and ordered some dishes. There were about five or six of them only and so it was hard to imagine that they could eat so much.

Soon, a few more people from the Clear Sky Sect came over and joined them.

Bibi Dong’s mood wasn’t good when she heard the passersby say the Clear Sky Sect had picked a fight with Spirit Hall. After seeing the people behind her, she was even more upset.

“How unlucky! It was supposed to be a beautiful date for the two of us. I didn’t expect my luck to be so bad that I would actually bump into them.”

Bibi Dong muttered to herself, her voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz. In the noisy night market, no one could hear her but Su Zhe was an exception.

Perhaps it was because he had trained in the farmland in the past. In the past, when Su Zhe had planted a watermelon field in the manor, there would be wild boars and roe deers that would pop out of nowhere and steal his food every night.

Su Zhe had no choice but to sharpen his hearing. He was especially sensitive during that period of time. He could hear even the slightest rustle of leaves and wind outside. He had trained his hearing to an extreme level.

Every time he heard a suspicious noise, he would pick up his fork and rush outside…

Now, even if he didn’t specifically feel it, Su Zhe could hear some subtle sounds when his whole body was relaxed. These included the footsteps in the East, the rubbing of someone’s thighs in the West, and the embarrassing muffled moans of a couple in a corner in the North, as if they were…

Bibi Dong’s low voice naturally didn’t escape Su Zhe’s ears.

“Do you know them? I think I saw a few familiar faces amongst them. They seem to be the two Clear Sky Sect members who didn’t go on stage in the competition and that’s the Clear Sky Sect elder who slandered you for cheating, right?”

Su Zhe followed Bibi Dong’s line of sight and said.

“En! Brother Su Zhe, do you see those with the Clear Sky Hammer pattern sewn on the chest of their team uniforms?”

“I see it. What’s wrong?”

“Those clothes were custom made by the Clear Sky Sect. Only the Clear Sky Sect’s double stars can wear them, in other words, those two, are Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.”

Bibi Dong looked at Tang Hao and Tang Xiao. Even though the two had fought very well in some of the previous tournaments and were known as the rising stars that would definitely become title Douluo, she wasn’t afraid.

“Are they the Clear Sky Sect’s twin stars? They are quite handsome when they’re young.”

Su Zhe glanced at Tang Hao. They did not match his impression of a slovenly, unkempt, and drunk middle-aged man.

Tang Hao glanced around and quickly noticed Su Zhe and his partner.

Bibi Dong really was too dazzling, whether it was her appearance or temperament, she couldn’t hide in the ordinary crowd.

“Bibi Dong!”

Immediately, Tang Hao coldly shouted, clenching his fists as he walked over to Bibi Dong.

At first, some members of the Clear Sky Sect didn’t understand what was going on. They thought that Tang Hao just called Bibi Dong’s name as he was angry at her and that he wanted to just talk bad about her. In the finals, he had to cripple Bibi Dong, so that he could face the two members who had been severely injured.

Then, the Clear Sky Sect’s fifth elder Tang Yu and one of the Clear Sky Sect’s Twin Stars Tang Xiao followed Tang Hao’s steps as they walked over together.

“Bibi Dong, she’s actually here! Some may have worn through their footwear to find her high and low but guess what, she’s right here! Instead of staying under the protection of those from Spirit Hall, what is she doing here alone with that man?!”

“I have to teach her a lesson. Otherwise, I’ll be letting Yang Tian and Bai Yu down. They’re so pitiful!”

Very quickly, the Clear Sky Sect’s tall and sturdy men walked over aggressively, rubbing their fists and wiping their palms, as if they wanted to teach Bibi Dong a lesson.

The hawkers at the nearby stalls moved their things away at lightning speed. Even the spirit chicken song group that was going to sing until dawn kept their distance to avoid being involved in the fight that was about to happen!

“Roar! Run! Those from the Clear Sky Sect and Spirit Hall are going to fight again!”
