Bibi Dong breathed a silent sigh of relief this time.
"Husband, you're back. Only you can keep our son in line; he's just too mischievous. He flies around everywhere all day, and I don't know why he was born with the ability to fly."
"Ping'an, just like his big sister Mengyan, can fly innately. That's a good thing; it means they're both exceptionally talented."
Zhao Ling walked over to Bibi Dong, and she immediately stood up from her seat, yielding the Pope's throne to Zhao Ling.
Zhao Ling didn't hesitate, directly sitting down on the Pope's throne and pulling Bibi Dong into his arms.
Bibi Dong sat sideways on Zhao Ling's lap, resting her head on his shoulder. Then she sniffed with her delicate nose, her slender brows slightly raised.
"Husband, did you just come from big sister Xi'er's place?"
"Hmm... how did you smell that?" Zhao Ling asked, somewhat surprised. Was Dong'er's sense of smell that keen?
"It would be strange if I didn't! Every time you come from big sister Xi'er's place, you carry her scent. If you came from Heaven Dou City, the scent would be too mixed."
Bibi Dong nodded earnestly, replying without hesitation.
"Uh..." Zhao Ling's mouth twitched. He picked up Bibi Dong from his arms and instantly vanished from the spot.
He had been inconsiderate. Before coming to Spirit City, he should have found a place to bathe and change into fresh clothes so Dong'er wouldn't detect any strange scents.
Zhao Ling could have taken Bibi Dong to bathe in the hot spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in the Sunset Forest, but he didn't.
To be precise, ever since he went to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to search for medicinal herbs seven or eight years ago and saw Dugu Bo cultivating in the hot spring to resist his own toxins, he had never used that hot spring again.
Dugu Bo had also seen Zhao Ling at that time and immediately showed his respect.
After all, this Demon Suppressing Doulou had a fearsome reputation and unfathomable strength.
Zhao Ling didn't say much, just nodded slightly, and headed into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
After inspecting the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and finding no signs of the herbs being touched, Zhao Ling knew that the stone tablet he had erected outside the valley had worked.
Even a Titled Douluo like Dugu Bo dared not enter after seeing that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was his private medicinal garden, which greatly pleased Zhao Ling.
So, when Zhao Ling encountered Dugu Bo later, he offered to help him and his descendants detoxify.
For the current Zhao Ling, helping Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan detoxify was an effortless task, even without using the methods from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.
This made Dugu Bo inwardly ecstatic. What level of existence was Demon Suppressing Doulou?
He was renowned as the strongest being below a deity.
His Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor's venom was indeed potent, but to Demon Suppressing Doulou, it might be nothing.
Thus, Dugu Bo sought Zhao Ling's help to detoxify Dugu Yan. To him, his granddaughter's life was more important than anything.
Zhao Ling didn't hesitate. In two days, he resolved the crisis of Dugu Yan's and Dugu Bo's Jade Phosphor Serpent venom.
He even condensed a venomous pellet in the dantian of both grandfather and granddaughter.
This allowed the grandfather and granddaughter to easily control the Jade Phosphor Serpent venom without it easily endangering themselves or their friends.
This made both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan treat Zhao Ling as their savior.
Even the advanced Spirit Master Academy Dugu Yan chose to attend changed from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy in the original story to Blue Tyrant Academy. Uh, this seems to have gone off-topic.
Zhao Ling took Bibi Dong directly to the bathroom. After filling the bathtub with water, he released flames and began to heat the water in the tub.
This ability to release flames was also an auxiliary ability he gained after advancing to that mysterious realm, and it wasn't limited to tearing space or releasing flames.
It also included controlling the growth of trees, conjuring floods out of thin air, creating typhoons, and so on. In short, Zhao Ling understood less and less where his limits lay.
And creating these things was as simple as eating and drinking for him.
It was no exaggeration to say that he could do these things with a mere flick of his hand.
Bibi Dong was also accustomed to all of this. Who knew what realm her husband was in now? Anyway, the stronger her husband was, the better.
Once the water in the bathtub reached a comfortable temperature, Zhao Ling carried the beauty in his arms and stepped into the bathtub.
It was two days later, evening, when Zhao Ling returned to their mansion in Heaven Dou Royal City.
When Xiao Wu saw him return, she pouted discontentedly. The rotten husband only just came back and didn't even tell them, his sisters, that he was going to Sea God Island and the Pope's Hall.
This left her unable to find him when she wanted to tell her husband the good news after realizing she was pregnant.
Despite her displeasure, the moment Zhao Ling appeared in the courtyard, she directly pounced into his arms.
"Husband, you're finally back! Xiao Wu has good news to tell you..."
Zhao Ling gently embraced her, then sat down on a stone bench, letting her nestle against his shoulder, and asked indulgently,
"What is it, Xiao Wu? What good news is there?"
Xiao Wu's eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled, pointing to her belly and showing off,
"Husband, I'm finally pregnant too! Husband, shouldn't you reward me?"
Tang Wutong's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this. She excitedly scurried over to Xiao Wu and gently stroked her belly.
"Mom, does this mean Xiao Qi is getting a younger sibling?"
"Hmm... but whether it should be called a younger brother or something else, I'm not sure anymore." Xiao Wu covered her mouth and chuckled softly.
Thinking that both she and her daughter were her husband's bedmates, and both were pregnant, Xiao Wu suddenly felt very confused.
But this didn't seem to be anything. Thinking about the connections that originally existed between big sister Xi'er, Aunt Ah Yin, herself, Mom, Wu Tong, and others, she felt a little dizzy.
In the past, Xiao Wu didn't think much of it, but now... she felt that her husband's frequent phrase, "the noble circle is truly chaotic," was quite fitting.
"Really, Xiao Wu, you're pregnant too?"
Zhao Ling also showed delight on his face. However, it seemed there were quite a few pregnancies now.
In addition to Ah Yin, Xiao Rou, and Long'er, who had been pregnant for nearly ten years, Wu Tong and Xiao Wu were also added.
Now, among those who had reached Titled Douluo, only Qiu'er and Nannan weren't pregnant yet.
Xuanyuan and Hong'er should also be able to enter the Titled Douluo level in a few years, while Yue'er was currently only Rank 82, still a considerable distance from the Titled Douluo realm.
Because of this, Qiuer and Nannan looked at Xiao Wu and Wu Tong, mother and daughter, with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Why hadn't they gotten pregnant yet?
If they were pregnant, their husband would have to be more restrained with them, but now that they weren't pregnant, they were beginning to doubt their lives.
