Chapter 29: "Unexpected Encounters in the Village"
Feeling that something was amiss, Chao Tianxiang quickly followed Meng Shu's gaze and saw Bibi Dong and two others sitting at the next table. Chao Tianxiang didn't have enough cultivation, so naturally, he couldn't sense the faint oppressive force coming from Bibi Dong, but he could feel the fluctuation of soul power in Hu Liena's body. Looking at Hu Liena's age, he felt secretly surprised.
Originally, their granddaughter Meng Yiran, whom the couple focused on cultivating, was already top-notch in their eyes, but compared to the girl in front of them, it seemed she lacked a lot.
"What great talent. I don't know from which great force she comes, but she can cultivate such a talented disciple. She has the potential to become a Titled Douluo," Tianxiang said in a low voice.
Meng Shu was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. He knew that Chao Tianxiang had made a mistake but didn't correct her.
Meng Shu did not expect to encounter a Titled Douluo in this remote place, and it wasn't an ordinary Titled Douluo. However, Meng Shu was also well-informed; he knew the physical characteristics of most Titled Douluo, even if he had never seen them before, but none of them matched the elegant woman in front of him.
"Grandpa, my third spirit ring should be from a spirit beast that is at least five thousand years old so that I can directly enter the thirty-first level of soul power, or even the thirty-second level," said Meng Yiran.
"Alright, alright, it all depends on you. If your cultivation level is sufficient, you could even hunt soul beasts that are tens of thousands of years old," said Chao Tianxiang with a fond look on his face.
The elderly couple has dedicated their entire lives to the granddaughter in front of them; it can be said that this granddaughter is their hope for the future.
Bibi Dong, on the other side, was familiar with the incomparable Meng Shu. After all, these two people were relatively well-known. Their fighting prowess was comparable to that of a Titled Douluo. They were also the ones her Spirit Hall had always wanted to conquer.
Upon hearing what the girl said, she turned around and said in a low voice, "The maximum age of the soul beast that the first spirit ring can absorb is four hundred twenty-three years, the second spirit ring is seven hundred sixty-four years, and the maximum age of the third spirit ring it can absorb is a soul ring that is 1,700 years old, and only in your fourth spirit ring could you absorb one of 5,000 years. If you absorb a soul ring that exceeds this limit, your body won't be able to withstand the violent force, and you'll explode and die."
Upon hearing this, Meng Shu still looked unhappy. Seeing that this woman dared to speak about his granddaughter, Chao Tianxiang seemed a bit embarrassed and immediately responded, "What do you know? If you don't understand, don't speak nonsense."
Meng Shu was surprised. This was a Titled Douluo and a strong one, not an ordinary Titled Douluo. This woman was not someone he could offend.
"Elder, please don't be angry. My wife speaks freely. If she offends you in any way, please forgive her, Elder," Meng Shu quickly said.
Bibi Dong smiled.
Although she is a Titled Douluo, she is only a little over forty years old. Moreover, she is well-maintained and looks like a girl in her twenties. She is about the age of a peach. How could she be an elderly person?
"Meng Shu, you are already seventy or eighty years old and have gray hair. How dare I be your elder? I'm just reminding you in good faith," said Bibi Dong.
Meng Shu naturally thanked her profusely and then hurriedly left with Chao Tianxiang and his granddaughter.
Being with a Titled Douluo whose origins are unknown is definitely a very bad experience.
"Master, did he recognize you?" asked Hu Liena, looking at the figures of Meng Shu, Chao Tianxiang, and their granddaughter retreating hastily.
Bibi Dong hasn't been in the world for many years, and I'm afraid few people can recognize her.
"No, it's just that Meng Shu felt the pressure from my level. There is a certain reason why the incomparable Dragon Po can achieve such great fame," said Bibi Dong.
"Master, this place is very close to Star Dou Forest, why don't you go to Star Dou Forest to experience it and hunt some soul beasts just for fun. With Master's cultivation, you can hunt those 10,000 year old beasts, maybe we can get some soul bones," Hu Liena suggested with a smile.
Bibi Dong shook her head and said, "Our destination is the city of Tiandou, not this Star Dou Forest."
What Bibi Dong didn't know was that Xiaogang was leading Tang San and others on their way to the Star Dou Forest, and they were already very close to her at that moment.
If she also goes to the Star Dou Forest, she might be able to meet him.
Two miserable people who love each other but cannot be together end up missing each other in this way, which is truly sad.
Just as Bibi Dong rushed to the city of Tiandou day and night, the entire city of Tiandou knew that the current crown prince was getting married. The news spread throughout the city of Tiandou, and many people sent their blessings to Xue Qinghe.
After all, under public opinion guidance, Xue Qinghe's support rate is very high, not only among court officials but also among the common people. Everyone likes the prince who is approachable and cheerful.
Of course, if they knew that this prince they liked so much would lead them to war in a few years, and many people would even lose their lives, I don't know how they would feel.

When Ye Xuan was eating out, what he heard the most was how benevolent and wise the current prince was, as if he were a perfect person.
"Damn."
A different voice caught Ye Xuan's attention.
Ye Xuan looked at the boy sitting next to him. He was a young boy who was only twelve or thirteen years old. He was dressed luxuriously but was alone. There was a resentful expression on his face. Hearing praises for the Prince from all sides, the entire person showed an angry expression, as if he wanted to devour people.
Twelve or thirteen years old?
Ye Xuan looked the boy up and down, especially the face that closely resembled Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe, and had already guessed the boy's identity.
The future Emperor Tiandou, the current Prince Xue Beng.
To avoid following in the footsteps of his two older brothers, this guy could only keep a low profile and wait for the right moment. In the end, he won the throne and became the next Emperor Tiandou.
Ye Xuan didn't expect to encounter him in such a place. Unfortunately, the current Prince Xue Beng had financial problems and was not his target customer. Naturally, he wasn't very interested.
"How dare you go out alone? Have you forgotten my warning?"
Several people quickly walked beside Xue Beng, and one of them suppressed his anger and whispered.
Ye Xuan remembered being acquainted with Prince Xue Beng.
As a prince, he must have some money; I'll greet him, maybe I can convince him to spend a few million soul gold coins in my store, thought Ye Xuan.
