Inside Spirit Hall, Hu Liena woke up instantly and felt her heart race with anxiety as she checked the group chat. She wondered if this terrifying day had really come so fast and how she could possibly save her beloved teacher. She typed a long sigh into the chat, "Sigh!"
Yanzi is not a Swallow replied right away, "The first thing to do after waking up is gossip, gossip, and more gossip!"
Group Member No. 9 added, "You idiot, today is actually your turn."
Zhu Zhuqing chimed in, "Today's gossip will definitely be more than enough to satisfy everyone's curiosity!"
Meanwhile, in Suotuo City at the Rose Hotel, Zhu Zhuyun opened her eyes and let out a soft yawn. She looked at her sister and asked, "Zhuqing, didn't Su Yan mention last time that Yanzi didn't have any juicy gossip?"
Zhu Zhuqing had a helpless look on her face as she explained, "Well, today isn't about Yanzi's gossip at all. Today is about something much bigger, and you'll find out in just a moment. It's about a family that loves and hurts each other. Now I finally understand why she picked that strange nickname. Since they come from the exact same roots, why are they so eager to torment each other?"
Zhu Zhuyun felt completely confused by those words. Aside from the two of them as sisters, were there really other sisters in the group who loved and hurt each other like that? It seemed like there were far too many people in this world who shared that strange relationship.
Ling Luochen typed, "Good morning, everyone."
Zhang Lexuan added, "Good morning, Luochen."
Ma Xiaotao sent a message, "This is already the second day of missing Brother Su Yan."
Over in the world of Douluo 2, inside Mingdu of the Sun Moon Empire, Meng Hongchen and Jiang Nannan felt very curious when they heard Ning Rongrong calling for them. They decided to walk over together to see what was going on. But the second they arrived, both of their faces turned bright red. One girl lowered her head in pure shame, while the other quickly turned her face away.
Ning Rongrong looked at them helplessly and said, "We're all going to be family in the future anyway, so why are you two being so shy? Hurry up and come over to eat breakfast! Xiao Wu and I also started our morning by eating breakfast like this!"
Jiang Nannan and Meng Hongchen were embarrassed beyond words. With confusion in their wide eyes, they asked, "Can this really be eaten? How can anyone possibly eat this!"
Ning Rongrong personally showed them the proper method to consume it and said, "Now I will leave the rest to you two! I am going back to sleep for a little longer."
Meng Hongchen and Jiang Nannan stared at each other, feeling completely lost and unsure of what to do next.
Su Yan was also quite surprised by this sudden turn of events. He thought to himself that Ning Rongrong, that playful Little Witch, really knew how to be lazy. She could have just called one person over first instead of dropping this on both of them at once.
Jiang Nannan called out in a low voice, her face burning red, "Brother Su Yan." She sneaked a quick glance at Meng Hongchen and was the very first one to begin the process.
Su Yan sat up and coughed softly, looking at her with affection. "Nannan, you are being a bit too greedy. My Spirit is so large, so how could you swallow it all in one single bite?"
Meng Hongchen remembered the method that Ning Rongrong had just carefully described to them. She reached out her soft hand to hold it firmly first, and only then did she activate her Spirit Ability to absorb it, making sure to stay within her personal limits.
Su Yan gasped softly and lay back down comfortably, letting the two girls demonstrate their skills.
Inside the group chat, Liu Erlong asked, "Old Woman, why aren't you out of bed yet today?"
Bo Saixi replied, "I've been thinking about something. You say Bibi Dong is going back to settle her score with the Orphan, but since she's traveling anyway, don't you think she might stop by to pick you up along the way?"
Tang Yuehua added, "I actually think that is very likely to happen!"
Liu Erlong typed back nervously, "I really can't handle this, everyone. I am getting out of bed and running away right this second!"
At Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong felt that Bo Saixi's logic was completely spot on. Since Bibi Dong was taking a trip back, she might easily swing by Heaven Dou City to give her a sound beating right after dealing with the Orphan. She decided it was best to go hide at the Moon Pavilion immediately. But halfway through putting on her clothes, she suddenly paused as a thought hit her. If she ran away and hid right now, what would happen if Su Yan came looking for her instead? She shook her head and decided to take the risk, believing that fortune always favors the bold.
Liu Erlong typed into the chat, "When you are out in the real world, you have to admit your mistakes and stand tall when you are taking a beating. Sister Dong, I was wrong! If you come to Heaven Dou City, please remember to tell me first so I can stand at attention and accept my punishment."
Ma Xiaotao asked, "Ancestor Erlong, aren't you going to go hide for a few days first?"
Liu Erlong replied, "No hiding for me. I will stay right here at Blue Tyrant Academy and won't go anywhere else."
I Am a Little Bird commented, "Erlong, you are truly brave!"
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong woke up and opened her eyes, feeling completely refreshed. She sent a message to the group, "Liu Erlong, if you really don't run away, I might actually consider coming to Heaven Dou City just to find you!"
Yanzi is not a Swallow typed, "Sister Supreme Pontiff is awake! When are you coming back? My main question is, will there be a live stream for us to watch?"
Group Member No. 9 added, "Sister Supreme Pontiff and the Orphan have been loving and hurting each other for such a long time, so we are all eagerly waiting for your meeting. Please remember to turn on the live stream when you get back."
Wang Dong suggested, "I have a great idea! Let Ancestor Ning Rongrong teleport to the Orphan's side first and start the live stream. Then she can call Her Majesty the Supreme Pontiff, Su Yan, and the rest to teleport back."
Call Me Her Majesty the Empress replied, "That sounds like a wonderful plan!"
Bo Saixi agreed, "That's a great idea, so let's settle it like that."
Liu Erlong typed, "My poor Orphan, don't worry! We will all watch the live stream together and condemn that Old Woman as a group!"
Hu Liena pleaded, "Please don't do that!"
Zhu Zhuqing sent, "???"
Bibi Dong declared, "Start it! The stream must be started! Let Rongrong go back and start the live stream in a moment, and we will arrive shortly after. Xiao Yan, hurry up and get out of bed to eat. After breakfast, we are heading back immediately. I really want to see today just how brave this Orphan truly is!"
Xiao Wu asked, "Is the Orphan so scared today that he doesn't even dare to speak? @I Am an Orphan"
Inside the Crown Prince Mansion, Qian Renxue opened her eyes suddenly. She took out her Jade Mirror to check the messages and instantly felt a surge of rage.
I Am an Orphan typed back angrily, "Who says I am avoiding her? Bibi Dong, just come back right now!"
Hu Liena sent, "Please don't! Don't start the live stream!"
Bibi Dong replied, "Little Fox, quiet down! I am definitely starting the live stream today because I want everyone to see if this foolish Orphan can still act brave when standing right in front of me!"
I Am an Orphan retorted, "What a coincidence! I also want everyone to see today exactly how you, Bibi Dong, are going to beat me until even my own mother wouldn't recognize me! Wait, I said that wrong... look at my name... I Am an Orphan."
At the same time, Su Yan took a deep breath of cold air and said, "Alright, that is enough for now! Let's end this breakfast here so we can eat something quickly and head back." He reached out and gave Ning Rongrong's back a light tap, telling her to get up quickly because they were going home.
Ning Rongrong rubbed her sleepy eyes and asked, "Why are we in such a huge rush to go back right now?"
Meng Hongchen wiped her mouth clean and asked, "Su Yan, can I come find you as soon as I receive my reward?"
Su Yan smiled and replied, "Yes! Once the very first batch of spirit tool transactions is fully settled, I will come back to pick you up personally."
He then quickly got out of bed to prepare. A short while later, the entire group finished a fast breakfast, said their goodbyes to Jing Hongchen and the elders, and walked to a quiet, deserted spot in the outskirts to prepare for their return trip.
Su Yan sent an exclusive Red Packet to Jiang Nannan, and then sent another exclusive Red Packet to Dark Avenger.
Su Yan looked at Bibi Dong with a complicated expression and said, "Sister Supreme Pontiff, you had better be mentally prepared for what comes next."
Bibi Dong answered with slight annoyance, "Your auntie already told you not to worry! I am just trying to scare her a little, so I won't make things difficult for you."
Ning Rongrong giggled playfully and said, "In that case, I will take the very first step!"
