Douluo Dalu: The Legend of Heavenly Ruler

--- Chapter 20 ---

In the supreme palace of spirit hall, we could see Bibi Dong sat on her throne with her eyes closed. ​​

"Six Years..." Bibi Dong said as she opened her eyes, showing us a pair of eyes that glowed with dark purple color.

"Finally... I will able to meet my Yunlong again." She added before forming a gorgeous smile on her face.

'I wonder how big Yunlong is now.' Bibi Dong thought since she still remembered just how tiny and cute baby Yunlong was when he's in her embrace.

'I can not wait to meet him.' She added in her heart as the door of the throne room got opened by someone.

"Teacher." A voice of a girl comes from the opened door.

"Nana, come in." Bibi Dong calmly said as a girl with long black hair walked toward her.

At first glance, the girl isn't charming, but when observed, one could sense a kind of peculiar charm from her. She had long black hair and a healthy white face that exuded charm.

The girl smiled at her teacher before stopped below the throne as she kneeled and said, "Hu Liena, greets teacher."

"You have a breakthrough to the next level, right." Bibi Dong said as she could feel her disciple spirit rank is at level 20.

(AN: Give me a suggestion or information, I'm not sure about her age or cultivation realm, so yeah)

"Mm, this morning, when I meditate, I suddenly feel a burst of spirit energy and breakthrough to level 20." Hu Liena said while giving Bibi Dong a nod.

"I see... Well, you have been very diligent with your cultivation these years." Bibi Dong responded because she would usually teach her disciple to lessen her loneliness when she misses Yunlong.

Because of that, Bibi Dong also becomes quite fond of her disciple.

"Since you already reach level 20, let's go to the star dou forest." Bibi Dong suddenly said to her disciple.

"But, teacher. Isn't the star dou forest is too risky to hunt for a spirit ring?" Hu Liena asked because spirit masters usually hunted their spirit ring on the spirit hunting forest, which is much safer than the star dou forest.

"Danger, huh... You don't have to worry about that." Bibi Dong replied with a smirk on her face.

"Ghost, Chrysanthemum, come here." She added while staring at the door as two people walked into the room.

"We greet her majesty, supreme pontiff." The two titled douluo said they bowed to Bibi Dong.

"Mm, you two can get up." Bibi Dong calmly said as two titled douluo lifted their body.

"Nana and I would go to the star dou forest, and you two should follow us." She instructed while staring at her two subordinates.

Bibi Dong doesn't need an escort, to be honest, as her strength is more powerful than two titled douluo in front of her right now.

She only needs their help with the emergency cover and backs up as she is unsure about Yunlong and her clone condition.

But, she had faith in her clone because her clone is herself in the first place, so just in case if something unfortunate happens, she brings her trusted subordinate with her.

"Nana, prepare yourself. We'll be waiting at the gate." Bibi Dong said to her disciple as she and her two subordinates walked away from the palace.

Three of them flew toward the spirit hall gate, and after waiting for a few minutes, they could see Hu Liena walked toward them with a small backpack on her back.

"Let's go..." Bibi Dong stated as she and Chrysanthemum Douluo flew away, and Ghost Douluo carried Hu Liena with him before followed them.

'Yunlong...' Bibi Dong thought with a smile on her face while feeling her heart pounding in excitement.

--- Star Dou Forest ---

Yunlong, Bibi Dongxue, and their maids are walking in the star dou forest.

They have been walking for two hours straight and encountered spirit beast horde in their path, which is blessing and curse at the same time.

It's a blessing for Yunlong as he could use his gluttony a few times and curse for Chu Yunxi and Chu Xiaoyu as their cultivation realm is not that high.

Chu Yunxi is a soul ancestor with four spirit rings, while Chu Xiaoyu is only a soul master with one spirit ring. If Bibi Dong is not here, they would probably have seriously injured or even death as the horde's spirit beasts age they fought is around 700-4000 years old.

Well, Yunlong doesn't have a problem as he can easily dodge every non-physical attack from the spirit beast who comes to him, and he can reduce their physical attack at him with his handkerchief.

'Sharingan helped a lot during that time, though.' Yunlong commented as he remembered just how intense the fight.

'Mother, also don't help us for some reason... Well, she did help us, but only when something critical about to happen.' He added in his heart while staring at his mother's back.

"Uh... we have been walking for two hours straight and fight one spirit beast horde," Yunlong said as he turned his gaze to Chu Xiaoyu and Chu Yunxi, who had a faint pale face.

"Mother, what about take a short break first." He asked his mother, which makes the two maids staring at him with thankful looks.

"Well, let's rest. that horde should be challenging for Xiaoyu and Yunxi." Bibi Dongxue nodded her head while giving them an approval looks.

"Yunlong, come here." She added while shifted her gaze at her son as Yunlong comes toward her while shrugging off his shoulder.

"I want to talk about something." Bibi Dongxue said as she pulled him away from the two maids.

They then walked toward a small river, which not far away from the original position.

"Um, Mother?" Yunlong tilted his head while looking at Bibi Dongxue, who is gripping her hand.

"Do you want to talk about something?" He asked her, which makes her body trembling a little.

'I need to tell him that I'm only a clone, but I'm afraid, I'm afraid of his reaction...' Bibi Dongxue thought while taking a deep breath and turned her back at Yunlong.

"Yunlong, I..." Bibi Dongxue said while staring at Yunlong.

"You only what? A clone?!" Yunlong responded with a smile on his face.

"Yes... Wait. What!" Bibi Dongxue's eyes widened in shock as she doesn't expect Yunlong to know about this.

"H-how did you know that I'm only a... clone." She asked him and when she about to say "clone." a heavy feeling appears in her heart.

Yunlong shaking his head as he hugged her and whispered, "Mother."

Bibi Dongxue's body shook a little bit when she feels Yunlong's soothing voice in her.

"I know that you were a clone since I was little, and you don't have to afraid because I know you think I'll not regard you as my mother as you only a clone, right?!" Yunlong said as he tightened his hug on her.

"But, you don't have to afraid because you are still my beloved mother in my heart." He once again whispered in her heart.

'He's my Yunlong after all...' Bibi Dongxue thought while feeling a comfortable sensation inside her heart.

Bibi Dongxue is calmly closing her eyes while feeling her son's warmth as she also hugged him before saying, "Thank you, Yunlong."
