In just four days, Zhou Sidong arrived at Spirit Hall.
After leaving Heaven Dou City, he traveled day and night without rest. Seeing the Papal Palace so close at hand, a smile finally appeared on Zhou Sidong's face. He then released Zhu Zhuqing from Xiao Xue's spatial domain.
"Careful—we're home."
Zhou Sidong quickly supported Zhu Zhuqing, then carried her on his back, stepping carefully up the long staircase.
"I'm not that delicate. Put me down already!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face flushed with embarrassment. Seeing the Spirit Hall disciples along the way staring at the two of them with curiosity made her feel even more self-conscious.
After all, Zhou Sidong's identity was no longer a secret within Spirit Hall. This time, he was returning openly through the main entrance.
Thinking back to how he had sneaked in through the back door the first time, Zhou Sidong couldn't help but feel how ridiculous his former self had been.
"Son, weren't you competing in Heaven Dou City? Why are you back already?"
As Zhou Sidong carried Zhu Zhuqing forward, they happened to run into Bibi Dong, who had just exited the Papal Palace.
Seeing her daughter-in-law on her son's back, Bibi Dong asked with concern,"What's wrong with Zhuqing?"
"Put me down!"
Zhu Zhuqing jumped lightly off Zhou Sidong's back, not looking at all like someone who was one month pregnant.
Thanks to the tempering she had undergone at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eyes, her body was already far stronger than ordinary people—minor bumps meant nothing to her.
Still, the move scared Zhou Sidong badly.
"Be careful of the child," he said hastily.
"I'm not that fragile," Zhu Zhuqing pouted. She had always been strong-willed.
"Chi… child?"
Bibi Dong subconsciously glanced at Zhu Zhuqing's flat abdomen, then at her son."Is she… pregnant?"
Zhou Sidong nodded."Of course. Otherwise, why would I rush nonstop for four days just to get back from Heaven Dou City?"
Bibi Dong froze for a moment, then broke into a radiant smile.
"Well done, you brat! Fast work!"
She patted Zhou Sidong on the shoulder, her face full of satisfaction.
At present, Zhu Zhuqing was Spirit Hall's top-priority protection target—she was carrying Bibi Dong's grandchild. This was something that had to be taken seriously.
Even Qian Daoliu, who had long ignored worldly affairs, sent over a fifty-thousand-year spine soul bone as a congratulatory gift after hearing the news.
It was meant for Zhu Zhuqing.
"This… this is too valuable."
Holding the fifty-thousand-year spine bone, Zhu Zhuqing felt overwhelmed.
"You deserve it. Take it," Zhou Sidong said, placing the soul bone firmly into her arms."I'll be leaving again in a few days. With Mother and Sister Nana here at Spirit Hall, you'll be fine."
"Mm. Come back early."
After settling Zhu Zhuqing to sleep, Zhou Sidong quietly left the room and gently closed the door.
"So tired…"
He let out a long sigh. Four straight days of nonstop travel had exhausted even him.
"Zhuqing's asleep?"
Bibi Dong walked over.
"Yeah."
Zhou Sidong nodded, his fatigue evident.
"You've worked hard, my son."
Bibi Dong pulled him gently into her embrace.
"I heard there's another Zhu Zhuqing in Heaven Dou City?" she suddenly asked.
"Yeah. I brought her back from a parallel world."
Zhou Sidong was too tired to even move.
"Step it up," Bibi Dong said, patting his shoulder.
What she meant was obvious—deal with the other one too.
Zhou Sidong's burden was truly heavy.
"My life is suffering," he muttered, lowering his head.
Zhou Sidong stayed at Spirit Hall for three days. After saying goodbye to his adoptive parents, his mother, his grandfather, and Zhu Zhuqing, he spent another four days returning to Heaven Dou City.
At the same time, the Continental Advanced Soul Master Elite Tournament had reached its midpoint, and the rankings of the major academies were being reshuffled.
Leading the charge was Heaven Dou Royal Academy Second Team. Under "Zhu Zhuqing's" leadership, they crushed all opponents and achieved a perfect winning record.
Following them were Divine Wind, Tianshui, Blazing Fire, and Elephant Armored Academy, ranked fourth through seventh.
As for Shrek Academy…
After three consecutive losses, they finally secured their first win in the fourth match and currently ranked seventh in the Heaven Dou division.
Upon returning to Heaven Dou City, Zhou Sidong's first stop was the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to watch the matches. What surprised him most was Shrek Academy—they had stabilized their condition, and Tang San's left-arm soul bone skill resembled a binding-type ability.
Back at the residence—
"Why haven't I seen that bastard Yu Xiaogang lately?" Zhou Sidong asked.
According to information from the Great Soul Arena, Yu Xiaogang had not appeared there for quite some time.
As Shrek Academy's team leader, he should never miss a single match. That was Zhou Sidong's understanding of Yu Xiaogang.
Qian Renxue smiled faintly."You don't know? Yu Xiaogang is no longer Tang San's teacher."
"Tang San disowned Yu Xiaogang? That's rare."
Zhou Sidong was immediately intrigued. Tang San valued the idea of once a teacher, always a father more than most.
"It wasn't Tang San who cut ties. Tang Hao found out Tang San absorbed a hundred-year soul bone and exploded on the spot, forcing Yu Xiaogang and Tang San to sever their relationship. According to our intel, Yu Xiaogang is now completely broken—his hair turned white overnight, he's aged rapidly. Looks like his time is nearly up."
Zhou Sidong shook his head."Not necessarily. With his cockroach-like vitality, he won't die that easily. Unless…"
"Unless what?" Qian Renxue asked.
Zhou Sidong smiled slightly."Unless the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is destroyed. That might actually push Yu Xiaogang to die of grief. After all, he made that vow himself—no one forced him."
"That makes sense. With the tournament underway, all factions are keeping the peace. Let him live a bit longer," Qian Renxue said.
Then she asked,"How's Zhuqing doing back at Spirit Hall? Living well?"
"Well doesn't even begin to cover it. Her待遇 is better than Mom's as Pope. She has at least three Title Douluo elders guarding her at all times, plus Grandpa checking in regularly. Oh—and Grandpa even gifted her a fifty-thousand-year spine bone. Compared to Heaven Dou City, Spirit Hall is far safer for her."
Zhou Sidong sounded envious even as he spoke.
"Good. That puts my mind at ease. When my nephew is born, don't forget to bring him to Heaven Dou City so I can hold him," Qian Renxue reminded him.
"Of course."
At that moment, "Zhu Zhuqing" walked in.
"Am I interrupting?"
"No. Come in," Qian Renxue said.
After she sat down, Qian Renxue asked gently,"Zhuqing, are you used to living here?"
"It's fine," "Zhu Zhuqing" nodded.
After spending some time in this world, the Zhu Zhuqing from the parallel timeline had adapted to life here and had developed a small emotional foundation with Zhou Sidong.
"That's good."
Qian Renxue nodded in satisfaction, then gave Zhou Sidong a meaningful look—eyebrows wiggling—before leaving.
Zhou Sidong: "…"
He understood perfectly. His sister wanted him to "take care" of this one too and strengthen the angel bloodline.
Watching her hurried departure, Zhou Sidong really wanted to ask: Why don't you give birth yourself?
The responsibility of carrying on the family line had all been dumped on him.
…
After Qian Renxue left, the room fell into an awkward silence.
"So… the me at Spirit Hall is doing okay, right?""Zhu Zhuqing" asked first.
Hearing that her other self was pregnant had shocked her deeply at first—it felt as if she herself were pregnant.
"She's doing very well. She's resting and nurturing the baby at Spirit Hall," Zhou Sidong replied.
"Zhu Zhuqing" nodded lightly and fell silent again.
The parallel-world Zhu Zhuqing was naturally aloof—just like the original version had once been. Over time, with more people and experiences, that personality had softened and brightened.
"Do you still hate me?" Zhou Sidong suddenly asked.
The question caught her off guard.
"I don't know," she said softly, shaking her head.
Her feelings were complicated.
Hate? Not really. Zhou Sidong had treated her well, helped her break through to level fifty, and even provided her with two soul bones.
Love? She couldn't say that either.
"Then it's love," Zhou Sidong said decisively.
Her face instantly turned red.
"I—I never said that! You're the one saying it!"
She turned away, afraid to meet his eyes.
He had already gotten the other her pregnant—was she next?The thought made her shiver. She wasn't ready to be a mother.
Suddenly, Zhou Sidong wrapped his arms around her from behind.
She stiffened, her cheeks gradually turning crimson.
"W-what are you doing?!"
She instinctively twisted her slender body, but after a while, she stopped moving and simply leaned quietly against him.
"I can very responsibly tell you right now—I hate you. I hate you terribly," she said, looking at him while still in his arms.
"If you hate me, then why are you holding on so tightly?" Zhou Sidong chuckled, glancing down at the slender hands gripping him firmly.
"Zhu Zhuqing": "…"
"Shut up!"
Her face burned red as she fell silent.
Women really are all talk and no heart, Zhou Sidong sighed inwardly.
He tightened his hold on her. Neither of them spoke.
This scene nearly drove the secretly peeking Qian Renxue mad.
"These two really can hold back. At this rate, when will my angel clan ever get another baby?!"
