Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

Bibi Dong's lips curled slightly. She wasn't truly concerned, as she already knew from the diary replica that Su Ming often called her by name. Hearing him accidentally call her that today didn't bother her much. However, she had to mention it—acting oblivious would've been suspicious.

The system: She already gave herself away!

Seeing that Bibi Dong didn't mind, Su Ming continued, "Teacher, do you have a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring and spirit bone from a Soft Bone Enchantress Rabbit?"

Su Ming's question was straightforward.

Knowing Bibi Dong also possessed his diary replica made things simpler. Initially, he'd planned to find subtle ways to probe her after joining Spirit Hall. But now, he realized there was no need.

Bibi Dong was briefly surprised by Su Ming's directness but answered honestly. "Yes, I do have a hundred-thousand-year ring and bone from a Soft Bone Enchantress Rabbit. You're asking if it's Ah Rou's, right? You must be her daughter, Xiao Wu."

At the end, Bibi Dong looked at Xiao Wu, who stood nearby.

Su Ming was taken aback. "Teacher, how did you know Xiao Wu is…"

Without missing a beat, he protectively placed Xiao Wu behind him, playing along with the scenario.

Bibi Dong smiled faintly at his reaction. "Oh, I've known Xiao Wu was a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast in human form for a long time. When I met Ah Rou, she mentioned her. If I'd wanted to harm Xiao Wu, I would've done so already."

"And as for why other powerful spirit masters couldn't sense her aura—it's likely due to a special herb she ingested, am I right?"

Bibi Dong then recounted her encounter with Ah Rou and what had transpired between them.

Xiao Wu, unable to hold back, quickly spoke up, "Aunt Dong, can you let me see my mom? I haven't seen her in so long."

Learning of her mother's relationship with Bibi Dong, Xiao Wu didn't hesitate to call her "Aunt Dong."

Bibi Dong nodded. "Of course. I'll awaken her now."

To preserve Ah Rou's spirit, Bibi Dong had previously put her into a deep sleep. Even in danger, Bibi Dong hadn't used Ah Rou's spirit ring or bone abilities, opting to rely on her own Undying Body instead.

Moments later, a radiant red ring appeared beneath Bibi Dong.

"Void!"

With a flash, an exceptionally beautiful woman who shared some resemblance with Xiao Wu materialized from the spirit ring.

As Ah Rou emerged from her spirit ring, she immediately sensed her daughter's familiar aura.

"Mom!"

Xiao Wu, overwhelmed, blinked into Ah Rou's embrace, tears flowing freely.

The two held each other in silence.

Xiao Wu had so much she wanted to say—how she was happy, had someone who cared for her, someone who treated her well—but the words wouldn't come. She wanted only to savor this brief moment. She knew, as a hundred-thousand-year spirit beast herself, that her mother's soul would dissipate faster the longer she remained outside the ring. Ten years had passed since Ah Rou's sacrifice; they couldn't waste time.

Sensing the loss of Ah Rou's spirit energy, Bibi Dong gently reminded her, "Ah Rou, it's time. Don't worry, I'll look after Xiao Wu. You can't stay outside too long, or else…"

Xiao Wu quickly added, "Mom, I'm so happy to see you today. Please go back to the ring for now. Su Ming and I will find a way to save you. Just wait for us!"

Hearing Xiao Wu, Ah Rou glanced at Su Ming. Su Ming gave her a slight nod. She looked pleasantly surprised—this must be Xiao Wu's companion in the human world. Judging by his reaction, he likely knew Xiao Wu was a transformed spirit beast, yet chose not to harm her. Instead, he wanted to help Xiao Wu find a way to revive her. But after so long, her body had likely decayed, and revival seemed impossible.

Still, knowing Xiao Wu was happy and had someone who cherished her was enough.

With that, Ah Rou disappeared back into the spirit ring and bone.

Su Ming turned to Bibi Dong. "Your Holiness, since you were the last one to see Xiao Wu's mother, how did you handle her remains?"

Bibi Dong replied, "I brought her body back to Spirit Hall and buried her in the back mountain. Why?"

Su Ming grinned, "We're going grave-digging! I'm going to recover Xiao Wu's mother's remains!"

Bibi Dong: …

Xiao Wu: …

Upon learning that her mother's remains were nearby, Su Ming breathed a little easier. According to his knowledge, Ah Rou's resurrection required her body, soul, and a unique force to fuse the two.

Even if all that remained of Ah Rou's body was her bones, his self-created spirit skill, Rebirth from Death, could likely restore her body to its original state.

Since the original body could be used, Su Ming wouldn't consider creating a new one due to compatibility issues.

As for the special force required, he had two options, though both required him to become a god first. One way involved evolving his Mangekyo Sharingan to Rinnegan, which would allow him to fuse Ah Rou's body and soul seamlessly (modified evolution method). The other way was to kill Sea God and seize his trident, using Sea God's Light to complete the fusion.

Both methods necessitated godhood, so he needed to improve his strength quickly.

After hearing Su Ming's plan, both Bibi Dong and Xiao Wu relaxed, intrigued by the creative use of the skill.

Moments later, Bibi Dong led them to the back mountain, where Ah Rou was buried.

With a wave of her hand, a dirt-covered box surfaced from the earth.
