Chapter 79: Flying into Space
There was very little excess fat on Aotian's waist. Bibi Dong had to struggle to pinch a layer of skin, twisting it forcefully.
Bibi Dong had noticed Qian Renxue's secret love for Aotian several years ago.
It was just that Qian Renxue was becoming more and more mature now, intentionally concealing her feelings for Aotian and rarely letting them show.
Xiao Wu, on the other hand, was not as guarded. The way she looked at Aotian was often full of affection.
What surprised Bibi Dong was Hu Liena. This disciple of hers had previously only shown respect for Aotian, but now, she too was drawn to him.
This was something Bibi Dong hadn't anticipated. However, thinking about it now, it seemed perfectly natural. After all, Aotian's charm was undeniable.
What young girl doesn't dream of love? Spending time with such an outstanding man, it was inevitable that some thoughts would arise.
Bibi Dong felt helpless, unsure of what choice to make for a moment.
If she accepted a few more, wouldn't that be letting this guy off too easily...
Especially her own disciple. Although Bibi Dong doted on her, this kind of thing was still somewhat difficult for her to accept.
But today was Qian Renxue's birthday, so it wasn't appropriate for her to show her feelings.
Xiao Wu ate the sweet cake with a look of pure satisfaction. Something suddenly occurred to her, and she asked, "Aotian, you said this morning you were going to take us to the sky. Are you taking us flying?"
Remembering the last time she went to Aotian's world and stood ten thousand meters in the air, Xiao Wu felt a lingering fear. She could still clearly recall the feeling of her legs turning to jelly.
If they were going to fly that high again today, she was conflicted. Should she go or not?
Aotian nodded. "You could call it flying. I guarantee you'll see a sight you've never seen before."
Xiao Wu shook her head vigorously. "Let's not. I'll be scared."
"Alright then. You can stay here. I'll just take the three of them," Aotian said deliberately.
Xiao Wu became even more conflicted. After hesitating for a good while, she finally said, "Then... I'll go too."
Bibi Dong smiled. "Xiao Wu, if you get scared, you can hold on to me, okay?"
"Okay, Sister Dong'er."
Hu Liena was full of anticipation. She had never flown before. For a Soul Master without a flight-type martial soul, one usually had to reach the Titled Douluo realm to be able to fly through the air.
She never expected to experience flight when she was only at the Soul King realm.
"I wonder how Mr. Ao will take us flying?" Hu Liena mused, stealing glances at Aotian while eating her cake.
She still didn't know Aotian's true strength or identity, guessing his cultivation was that of a Titled Douluo.
"Teacher and Mr. Ao are Titled Douluo, and Sister Xue'er's Angel Martial Soul can also fly. Only Xiao Wu and I can't. Does that mean Mr. Ao will carry me?" Hu Liena thought expectantly.
She also knew that Aotian was Bibi Dong's man and that it was wrong for her to have such thoughts, but she couldn't help it.
She guessed she had probably fallen for Mr. Ao. She knew she shouldn't harbor such forbidden thoughts, but some things were beyond her control.
After they finished the cake, Aotian stood up and said, "Let's go. I'll show you the true face of Douluo Star."
"Douluo Star? Not the Douluo Continent?" Qian Renxue asked curiously.
This was the first time she had ever heard the term Douluo Star.
Aotian shook his head and smiled. "Actually, this world is round. The Douluo Continent is located on a giant sphere, and this sphere has more than just the Douluo Continent on it."
How could that be possible? Qian Renxue, Hu Liena, and Xiao Wu clearly didn't believe what Aotian said.
Bibi Dong, however, trusted Aotian unconditionally. No matter what astonishing things Aotian said, she would believe him.
"Then show us," she said.
With a thought from Aotian, a surging power of law enveloped the four women. In the next moment, the five of them appeared ten thousand meters high above the Douluo Continent and began to ascend rapidly.
An invisible barrier surrounded them, serving to block detection, maintain pressure, oxygen, and other normal conditions.
Bibi Dong took a few steps to Xiao Wu's side and wrapped an arm around her, helping to ease her fear.
Experiencing the same situation a second time, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel afraid.
Just then, Hu Liena screamed, lunged toward Aotian, and hugged him tightly, her pretty face already pale.
After all, Xiao Wu had experienced it once and was somewhat mentally prepared, but this was Hu Liena's first time experiencing such a thrilling situation. How could she not be afraid?
Aotian only felt a soft body hugging his back, and then he heard Hu Liena's scream.
Qian Renxue wasn't much better off, her beautiful face slightly pale. Although she had flown before, this was the first time she had ever flown so high.
"Liena, come to Teacher," Bibi Dong said, walking over and pulling Hu Liena off Aotian.
She held Xiao Wu with her left arm and Hu Liena with her right, then shot a glare at Aotian. "Look what you've done. You've scared them."
In truth, Bibi Dong was also a little scared. Aotian had taken her flying before, but never this high.
As Hu Liena's teacher and the eldest sister here, she naturally couldn't show any signs of fear.
Aotian was helpless. He just wanted to show the girls something new and exciting; he hadn't expected them all to be so timid.
But the distress was brief. Before long, the fear in the girls' hearts slowly faded. Although the view below was terrifying, the sensation of being on solid ground gradually put them at ease.
The Douluo Continent grew smaller and smaller in their eyes, and then they saw the blue ocean surrounding it...
"It's round! It's really round!" Xiao Wu pointed down below and exclaimed in surprise. The true face of Douluo Star was slowly coming into their view.
They moved farther and farther away from Douluo Star. Under the setting sun, the spherical Douluo Star appeared before them.
By now, they had already flown out of Douluo Star's atmosphere. With the barrier Aotian had set up, they didn't feel any discomfort.
Aotian changed direction, flying around Douluo Star. Qian Renxue and the others saw other continents on the planet.
"Aotian, are there soul beasts and humans on that continent?" Qian Renxue asked, pointing to a newly appeared landmass.
"Yes. That continent is quite similar to the Douluo Continent," Aotian said.
"So this is what the world is really like," Qian Renxue murmured to herself, feeling an unprecedented shock in her heart.
The other three women, including Bibi Dong, felt the same way.
Qian Renxue suddenly raised her head and looked at a few stars that had become much larger. She said in shock, "Aotian, could it be... that those stars are also like Douluo Star? With so many stars in the sky, how many soul masters and soul beasts must there be!"
Aotian shook his head. "Not all stars are suitable for life. Planets like Douluo Star are extremely rare."
Only then did the shock in Qian Renxue's heart lessen slightly. If every single star was like Douluo Star, that would be too insane.
Aotian said, "The universe is infinite, giving birth to countless galaxies, and within those galaxies are vast numbers of stars. When there's a chance in the future, I will take you to roam the starry sky and explore the universe."
Qian Renxue's heart filled with longing and anticipation. At this moment, she suddenly felt that taking over the Heaven Dou Empire didn't seem so important anymore.
Having seen the vastness of the ocean, would one still care about a small pond?
But after some thought, she still decided to complete her mission in the Heaven Dou Empire. Years of effort could not go to waste.
...
Late at night, in Bibi Dong's room.
Bibi Dong lay lazily on Aotian's chest and asked, "What are your plans for Xue'er and Liena?"
"What do you mean by that?" Aotian asked.
