"Eh?" Bibi Dong stared at Yunlong silently. She was too shocked to speak because her otherworldly self seemed an extreme character too.
Yunlong clearly was amused by Bibi Dong's expression and continued, "Don't overthink it. Just think about it like a sperm donor because no love was involved in the scenario."
"Do you have more questions?" He stared at the woman in front of him. "I'll gladly answer them right now."
After hearing that, Bibi Dong's eyes shone with hope. She only had one wish at the moment and hoped Yunlong could grant it to her. It's shameless but better than just being silent.
She opened her mouth slowly, "C-Can you bring the dead back?"
Yunlong frowned inside because he didn't expect such a question from this Bibi Dong's mouth. She looked cold and aloof yesterday, having the same aura as his mother. However, she revealed her true self now.
'I should stop comparing them.' He thought to himself.
The tension in the room was odd, but Bibi Dong's hopeful eyes still shone brightly.
"Sorry, that's out of my reach." Yunlong naturally lied as he breathed. "Bringing back the dead to life is considered taboo because their soul has ascended to a different realm, willing or not."
"Do you think God is invincible? The answer is not because even the God of Destruction died on my hand. His soul crumbled under my palm like fragile glass."
"I see..." Bibi Dong was disappointed. She wanted to bring Qian Renxue back to life, but hearing Yunlong's response made her realize that was a mere dream.
Yes, Qian Renxue of Douluo-101 died in battle when fighting the God of Destruction Dou Ming. According to Dou Ming's memory, he destroyed Qian Renxue's body and soul with the Power of Destruction, making it impossible to revive even with Yunlong's Rinne Tensei.
[It is possible, but Qian Renxue won't be herself anymore, considering her soul was nothing but a small portion of the original] Neo monotonously reported.
Yunlong smiled wryly, 'Yeah, I don't think Bibi Dong would like a puppet-like daughter.'
He still has a few weeks before this reality gets demolished by multiversal fate. Not wasting any chance, Yunlong stared at Bibi Dong again and explained a fraction of the truth to her. She listened calmly until the part where he could only save 5000 people from Douluo Dalu-101.
"Can you save more?"
Even though Bibi Dong forcefully was labeled as a villainess by many people, her heart is actually one of the purest in this world. How amusing that's compared to people like Dou Ming, who preached about this world's freedom according to Xue Nu's testimony.
"Well, I never specified the exact number. Even though I said at least five thousand living beings, it can be more than that." He replied while thinking about Night Forest's realm capacity. It should be able to contain a few billion people.
Knock!
A knock echoed from the front door, and Yunlong smiled inside because the breakfast was ready. "Come in, Yunxi." He said, watching his lovely maid bringing a trolley with several kinds of dishes.
Chu Yunxi placed a few plates on the table and glanced at Bibi Dong twice. She shook her head because this Bibi Dong was different from her mistress besides appearances. They looked alike with some minor differences, like the atmosphere around them.
'The mistress radiated with a cold and composed atmosphere every time unless Young master with her. As for this Bibi Dong, she's quite adorable.' The maid thought while standing beside Yunlong.
Yunlong pulled Chu Yunxi onto the seat and said, "Feed me, Yunxi. I'm too lazy to use my hands. You know I've been fighting gods left and right these days."
"Nice joke, young master~." Chu Yunxi replied while picking the spoon. Yunlong was too lazy to explain his meeting with the Primordial Sword Goddess and enjoyed Chu Yunxi's cooking.
"Um, should I leave?" Bibi Dong watched them awkwardly.
Yunlong chuckled and returned, "You haven't eaten anything yet, right? Then, Take a bite and listen to my other offer."
"It will be a simple offer. Do you want to follow me to my reality?"
...
Bibi Dong was quiet when hearing Yunlong's offer. She expected him to say this, but he was too straightforward. After thinking for a while and tasting Chu Yunxi's cooking, she wiped her lips with a napkin.
"Is your reality better than mine?"
Chu Yunxi stopped her hand midway and stared at Bibi Dong like she was a weird creature. She looked back at her young master and noticed he had the same look.
"Well, it depends. In my reality, most of everything is in my favor." Yunlong chewed on roast meat. "I've killed most of the problems on the Douluo Continent but having an issue with another continent. They provoked and wanted to have war with my faction."
"Ah yes, we united everything on the Douluo Continent under one banner. Bright Spirit Empire."
Bibi Dong contemplated and muttered, "That sounds amazing compared to this world... Bright Spirit Empire sure is a fascinating place to visit. But, let me think a while about it."
"Will you wait, son?" She lifted herself from the sofa, earning a nod from Yunlong.
"Sure, you have three weeks to think about it. Meanwhile, I'll travel around this planet." Yunlong responded while feeling a spiritual link with Kaguya. The rabbit goddess and Xue Nu seemed to have found an unusual place.
Bibi Dong smiled at Yunlong and waved her hand while walking through the front door. A black flash traveled to her side and wrapped itself around her neck.
"That's an item that could help you. I don't want to find you die out of nowhere." Yunlong stated, which caused Bibi Dong to giggle slightly.
"Thank you, Yunlong." Bibi Dong replied and disappeared from the front door. Bibi Dong's God Seat actually was annihilated by Asura Goddess, but she's still a title douluo with a spirit rank of 100 at the end of the day.
Chu Yunxi cut some apples and commented, "She's an odd one, right? I'm still surprised about how different this Bibi Dong than the mistress."
"No one can replace my mother." Yunlong shrugged his shoulders. "Also, come out, Ah Yin."
A blue-haired woman walked out of the room's corner. She wore a maid outfit with sad dog ears accessory.
Chu Yunxi's eyes widened in surprise because she couldn't feel Ah Yin's presence all this time. She fell asleep with her young master in the morning but couldn't tell someone was standing in the corner.
"I need to train more." She whispered to herself.
Yunlong stared at Ah Yin and stated, "Ah Yin is 1st Class God, so her presence is above your league, Yunxi. I won't blame you for not being able to sense her."
"Sooner or later, you'll receive her realm. I believed your ice wind's element was close to reaching the Dimensional Changing state."
A Dimensional Changing state is where one's mastery reaches a stage to change the dimension around them. Kaguya, Xue Nu, and surprisingly were on this level now.
Kaguya with her higher dimensional understanding based on temporal space and time laws. Xue Nu with her snow-based insight of the small universe. And lastly, Zhu Zhuyun becomes one with darkness.
Zhu Zhuyun hasn't shown her true capabilities to Yunlong and her fellow maids. However, no one can deny her manipulation of darkness is the highest in the group.
"I hope so~." Chu Yunxi replied while leaning her head on Yunlong's shoulder. She breathed in and felt more relaxed than before.
Yunlong brushed her nose playfully and spoke, "It's not nap time. We have some places to explore, Yunxi."
"Is that so~?" Chu Yunxi replied coyly. Her asset pushed against Yunlong's chest.
Yunlong flicked her forehead gently and returned, "Don't tease me like that, Or I'll eat you on the spot..."
The maid yelped in surprise and cleared her throat, looking away because her daughter said Yunlong was quite wild.
"Oh, you're here, Sister Yunxi?" Zhu Zhuyun appeared in the room with a poof of black clouds. She looked around and was surprised by Ah Yin's presence. "Woah, where are you from, girl? I didn't sense you at all."
"I thought you were an air conditioner for a moment."
"Hahaha." Yunlong couldn't help but laugh because Ah Yin's Blue Silver Empress perks gave a calming yet fresh atmosphere in this bedroom room. Still, He had to admit her ability makes it easier to sleep.
People of this world would start dropping their jaws when knowing Yunlong's way of thinking. He basically used a literal goddess as a fan?
"Anyway, let's explore this place for a bit." Yunlong covered his companions with spatial law and teleported them to Kaguya's location. They instantly arrived in a cave filled with purplish blue crystals.
[Cold Essences]
[Cole Essences]
[Cold Essences]
The system's scans become wild because of the sheer amount of Cold Essences in this cave. Yunlong was sure they were in the Extreme North.
"This is not extreme north." Xue Nu commented while floating in the air. "We are currently inside an enormous piece of ice in the middle of the sea."
"Eh?" Yunlong was genuinely surprised.
The Snow Goddess smirked and added, "We found this ice chunk a few hours ago when wandering on the northern sea. This cave is full of 10.000 years old Cold Essence, enough to make Ice Attribute Spirit Beast reach 100.000 years old by consuming it."
"If I had this in the past, I could have reached one million years old effortlessly. Now Cold Essences were useless to me." She released a sigh of annoyance.
Kaguya chuckled in amusement when seeing Xue Nu's annoyed reaction. "Is it a good thing or bad thing?" She questioned the snow goddess.
Xue Nu scowled at Kaguya and answered, "Both. It's bad because this heavenly treasure is useless to me. It's good because of Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi-."
Crunch!
A crunchy noise echoed in the cave.
They slowly moved their gazes to Chu Yunxi and watched her devouring the Cold Essences like potato chips. "It's good because Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi could absorb it." Xue Nu finished her last line with twitched lips.
"Are you okay?"
Chu Yunxi covered her mouth shyly and replied, "My body is moving on its own. I can't help myself after seeing this crystal because I'm craving it for some reason."
[There is another name for 10k years old Cold Essences]
[Ice God's crystal]
"That makes sense," Yunlong commented while staring at Chu Yunxi. After all, She was one of the Ice God's inheritors like Chu Xiaoyu. They shared the origin of Bing Chun's descendants.
He thought for a second and added, "Hmm, It would take a while for Chu Yunxi to eat these Cold Essences. Let's bring Chu Xiaoyu here."
A portal quickly appeared beside Yunlong, and everyone could see Chu Xiaoyu waving her sword up and down swiftly, leaving cold air behind. The silent maid's nose twitched like she was smelling something good.
"Young master?" She turned around and saw Yunlong waving his hand at her. "Everyone?"
"Xiaoyu, take a look at that." Yunlong swayed his body to the left and showed Chu Xiaoyu a ton of Cold Essence. He could see her yellow eyes shining in excitement. "Go get it. I'll make some clones to guard this place."
Chu Xiaoyu jumped into the portal and devoured Cold Essences like potato chips.
Yunlong, Xue Nu, and Kaguya could only watch these mother-daughter duo demolishing the entire cave. "You said there is another interesting place here?" he suddenly asked, to which Kaguya responded with a nod.
"Follow me." She created a dimensional portal to an unknown sub-realm.
Yunlong's body trembled because he felt a familiar aura within this place. He slowly raised his gaze and saw a crimson sky with several dim-looking rainbows.
"Ah... This place."
"Dragon Clan's Graveyard."
