Soul Land: Bibi Dong Is My Martial Soul

Chapter 15: Bibi Dong's Anguish

"Tang Hao!"

Seeing Tang Hao appear at Yu Xiaogang's door, Bibi Dong's expression became complicated.

When it came to Tang Hao, Bibi Dong didn't harbor much hatred, even though in the future, Tang Hao would join the two empires to fight against her, and it was Tang Hao's son who would eventually destroy everything she had built, leading to her own death at Tang San's hands.

However, despite all that, Bibi Dong didn't feel much animosity toward Tang Hao. In fact, she even felt a measure of gratitude.

It was because of Tang Hao that she had found an opportunity for revenge.

If Tang Hao hadn't severely injured Qian Xunji, she might never have had the chance to avenge herself!

Thus, deep in her heart, Bibi Dong always held a sense of gratitude toward Tang Hao.

That was why, during the Soul Master Tournament in the future, when Tang Hao appeared and rescued Tang San and Xiao Wu, she didn't intervene to stop him.

The only reason she acted then was to protect the Angelic Statue of Spirit Hall from being destroyed by Tang Hao.

Otherwise, with her strength at that time, it wouldn't have been difficult to stop Tang Hao. If the Angelic Statue had been destroyed, she wouldn't have cared too much.

What surprised her now was that, after appearing at Yu Xiaogang's door, Tang Hao didn't knock. Instead, he stood there for a while, hesitated, and then turned around and left without entering.

Bibi Dong didn't follow him. She had no interest in Tang Hao.

After Tang Hao left, Bibi Dong's divine sense passed through the door and entered the pavilion, finding Yu Xiaogang in his study.

"Xiaogang…"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong couldn't help but call out to him excitedly.

Unfortunately, Yu Xiaogang still couldn't hear her voice.

When Yu Xiaogang didn't react, Bibi Dong was reminded once again that she couldn't interact with him, only watch.

"…This is already good enough,"

she told herself, trying to find comfort in being able to watch over Yu Xiaogang, feeling that just being by his side was enough.

With that, Bibi Dong quietly watched as Yu Xiaogang immersed himself in his reading.

Yu Xiaogang, of course, had no idea that his former lover was watching him from the shadows.

After a long while, Yu Xiaogang finally put down his book and began reflecting on the day's events.

"Taking on Tang San as a disciple, especially with his twin martial souls, is truly wonderful!"

"Twin martial souls...such a rare talent. I can't believe I was fortunate enough to encounter one…"

Thinking about having accepted Tang San, a disciple with such extraordinary talent, Yu Xiaogang couldn't help but murmur excitedly to himself.

Since taking Tang San under his wing, Yu Xiaogang had been filled with excitement and enthusiasm, and it was only by reading that he managed to calm himself down.

But now that he had put the book down, he couldn't contain his elation.

"I will teach Tang San well and show the world how outstanding a disciple of Yu Xiaogang can be!"

"Let's see who dares to mock me then!"

Yu Xiaogang's expression was full of excitement and determination, with a hint of fierceness in his eyes as he spoke the last sentence.

This revealed just how deeply Yu Xiaogang desired to prove himself.

As Bibi Dong watched Yu Xiaogang's fervent self-talk, she felt both pity and anger.

She sympathized with Yu Xiaogang's struggles and was glad to see him regain his resolve, but the fact that his excitement was due to Tang San irritated her.

After all, Tang San was the one who had destroyed everything she had.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's heart filled with bitterness.

She had come to see Yu Xiaogang with such joy, only to find that he was focused on how to train the very person she considered her enemy.

"But Tang San's identity must remain a secret!"

"He's Tang Hao's son, an enemy of Spirit Hall!"

"We mustn't let anyone in Spirit Hall discover who Tang San really is!"

Yu Xiaogang's next words only deepened Bibi Dong's sorrow.

"So, you knew all along about Tang San's identity…"

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes stared intently at Yu Xiaogang, her expression filled with sorrow as she bit her lip. She never expected that Yu Xiaogang had known Tang San's identity from the very beginning.

She had always believed that Yu Xiaogang only discovered Tang San's identity later on.

But no, Yu Xiaogang had known all along.

And despite knowing that Tang San had a grudge against Spirit Hall—meaning he was her enemy—Yu Xiaogang had still put all his efforts into training Tang San.

Realizing this, Bibi Dong felt an indescribable sadness.

"Why?"

Bibi Dong clenched her fists tightly, unable to stop herself from questioning Yu Xiaogang.

"Damn it…"

When she realized that Yu Xiaogang couldn't hear her, her mood worsened.

"Damn it!"

Frustrated and unable to vent her anger, Bibi Dong cursed under her breath before flashing away.

In the morning, she had left because she didn't want to see Tang San. Now, she didn't even want to see Yu Xiaogang.

Yu Xiaogang, oblivious, had no idea that Bibi Dong had been there and then left again.

…

Su Mo was entirely unaware of Bibi Dong's predicament.

He didn't even know that she had manifested, as every time she appeared, she left before he could notice.

The next day, during the opening ceremony, Su Mo noticed that Tang San was absent.

He knew that Yu Xiaogang had taken Tang San to hunt for his first spirit ring.

A few days later, when Xiao Wu got into a conflict with the city lord's son, Tang San returned, now possessing his first spirit ring.

The appearance of a hundred-year spirit ring immediately stunned their classmates.

Even the city lord's son, Xiao Chenyu, only had a ten-year spirit ring as his first.

"My first spirit ring came from the Datura Snake, an animal spirit beast. My teacher's theory is correct!"

When Tang San used his first spirit ability, Binding, and then credited Yu Xiaogang with his spirit ring's origin, it vindicated Yu Xiaogang's theories.

For the first time, everyone realized that Yu Xiaogang's theory was true—plant-type martial souls could indeed absorb spirit rings from animal spirit beasts.

"So, Master was right all along…"

"I thought he was just making things up!"

"Me too…"

"No wonder they call him Master. He's really that amazing…"

"If I'd known, I would have asked Master to be my teacher too…"

"Exactly, exactly…"

"Don't even think about it. Now that Master has a student with innate full soul power like Tang San, there's no way he'd take us on…"

"…"

Listening to his classmates praise Yu Xiaogang, Su Mo, who had come to watch with a detached attitude, couldn't help but smirk.

Even if Yu Xiaogang hadn't taken on Tang San, he wouldn't have given any of you a second glance!
