LGHTNOVELBOOK Chapter 190: Chapter 190
**Chapter 190: Is This Madam Ling?**
At the same time, in Spirit City, Bibi Dong was practicing diligently when she suddenly opened her beautiful eyes. Sensing something, she looked at the "Copy of Zhao Ling's Diary" hovering half a meter in front of her. Her eyes lit up.
Her husband had updated his diary again. Without hesitation, she opened it to check the contents.
Upon reading that Zhao Ling had ventured to the Star Dou Great Forest and brought back two 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Charm Rabbits, she raised her eyebrows.
Her husband truly was extraordinary. If he wanted a soul ring, he could easily claim two 100,000-year rings. Yet, he seemed uninterested in hunting soul beasts.
To her amusement, Zhao Ling appeared more captivated by the transformed human forms of these soul beasts than by their soul rings or bones.
Bibi Dong had no objections. In fact, she welcomed her husband's penchant for gathering new "sisters." If he indulged himself with others, perhaps he'd return home too weak to torment her.
Though she loved Zhao Ling deeply, his inhumanly strong physique left her both enamored and fearful.
As for Zhao Ling's revelation about being a book traveler, Bibi Dong had long suspected he was not an ordinary man. While it was surprising to learn that the Douluo World was a storybook and that her husband came from another realm, it didn't change her feelings for him.
Meanwhile, on Sea God Island, Poseidon came to a similar realization after reading the updated diary.
"So, that's why my husband knows so much," she murmured.
Zhao Ling's knowledge of Poseidon Island, Tang Chen's whereabouts, and even her personal history suddenly made sense. The Douluo World was a storybook, and Zhao Ling was a traveler from another world.
Poseidon recalled how Lord Sea God had questioned Zhao Ling's origins, suspecting that his parents were gods. But Zhao Ling had insisted his parents weren't from Douluo World, a claim the Sea God found hard to believe at the time.
Now, the truth was clear. Zhao Ling wasn't a native of this world but an outsider entirely.
Not that it mattered. Poseidon didn't care about his origins. Zhao Ling had promised to help her ascend to the Sea God throne, and his love for her was evident. She had no complaints—well, except for his relentless energy.
Even as an Ultimate Douluo who had inherited the Sea God's power, she could barely endure her husband's overwhelming physique.
Deep in the Star Dou Great Forest, in the lair of the Silver Dragon King, the "Copy of Zhao Ling's Diary" briefly glowed with golden light.
But the Silver Dragon King didn't stir. Perhaps she was too lazy to wake or unwilling to waste time reading the diary while still recovering. The glowing book eventually dimmed and closed on its own.
After less than a day of travel, Zhao Ling's Cloud Piercing Shuttle reached the outskirts of the Sunset Forest.
Arou and Xiao Wu stepped off the shuttle, gazing toward the forest's interior.
"Mom, is this the Sunset Forest you told me about?" Xiao Wu asked, curiosity in her voice. "It's much smaller than the Star Dou Forest. Are there even 100,000-year-old soul beasts here?"
"The Sunset Forest isn't as rich in resources as the Star Dou Great Forest," Arou replied with a nod. "It would be rare to find even one or two 100,000-year-old soul beasts here."
Zhao Ling crouched to rub Xiao Wu's head gently. "When you're ready to transform, I'll take you to a safe spot deep in this forest. You won't need to worry about being disturbed."
Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. She could tell Zhao Ling was more eager about seeing her transformed form than she was.
This bad guy has plans for Mom—and me!
Still, remembering the promise of a room full of carrots, Xiao Wu decided to temporarily forgive him.
After stowing the Cloud Piercing Shuttle in his storage space, Zhao Ling led Arou and Xiao Wu toward Tiandou Imperial City.
He briefly considered stopping at the hot springs near the Yin-Yang Eyes of Ice and Fire but dismissed the idea. With no formal relationship with Arou yet, such a suggestion might seem inappropriate. Best to take things slow.
As they neared the forest's edge, a carriage pulled up beside them. The curtain lifted, revealing a young man who poked his head out.
"Isn't this the Demon Suppression Douluo? Would you like to ride back to the Imperial City with me?"
Zhao Ling smiled at the sight of Ning Fengzhi, whom he'd previously met at the palace. Using his spiritual senses, he quickly confirmed that neither Bone Douluo nor Sword Douluo were with him.
Good. Encountering a Titled Douluo so soon would have been awkward.
Without hesitation, Zhao Ling accepted the offer and boarded the carriage with Arou and Xiao Wu.
Why pass up a free ride?
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Arou and then turned to Zhao Ling with a curious expression.
"Is this your wife, Demon Suppression Douluo? She's stunning."
Zhao Ling gave Arou a quick look and, seeing no reaction, breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, don't talk nonsense. She's my sister."
Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow at Zhao Ling's tone, sensing a hint of something more.
It seemed the Demon Suppression Douluo had feelings for this woman, though her own thoughts were less clear. Still, her willingness to follow him spoke volumes.
A woman like this would naturally be drawn to someone with Zhao Ling's looks, power, and charm, Ning Fengzhi thought.
As the carriage rolled toward Tiandou Imperial City, Zhao Ling leaned back, a satisfied smile on his face.
