--- Chapter 30 ---

Bibi Dong is quietly breathing while meditating on the lush grass. ​​

'Soul Core...' Bibi Dong thought while running her spiritual energy and spirit energy into her chest, which revolving and formed into a white sphere at a fast speed.

'Keep supplying the spirit and spiritual energy...' She added while gently her spirit and spiritual energy into the white sphere, which starts glowing in black light.

Yunlong is worriedly staring at Bibi Dong while feeling an enormous amount of spiritual and spirit energy flaring from her body.

'Hmm? This core is sucking my energy?!' Bibi Dong thought as the white core in her chest suddenly releasing a powerful devouring force, making the soul and spiritual energy in her body depleted at a fast rate.

'I can't restrain the core's devouring force...' She added while frowning because when she tried to control the core, it becomes more violent and devouring more of her spiritual and soul energy.

Bibi Dong is trying to subdue the core a few times but keeps failing, and almost half of her energy reserve got consumed.

"Mother... Do your best!" Yunlong's encouraging voice suddenly entered her ears, making her mind more relaxed for some reason.

'That's right, Yunlong...' Bibi Dong thought while forming a smile on her beautiful face.

'I can't fail... I must not fail for the sake of my son!' She added in her heart before releasing more of her soul and spiritual energy.

Bibi Dong's body is blazing with an immense amount of spiritual and soul energy as nine spirit rings float behind her.

"2 Yellow, 2 Purple, 4 Black, and 1 Red spirit rings..." Yunlong muttered while looking at the spirit rings naturally floating and shining with a dim light behind his mother.

"Condense..." Bibi Dong mumbled as the flaring energy got pulled back into her body and flowing toward the white sphere.

As she keeps supplying the white sphere with her energy, Bibi Dong could feel the core shrinking into a rice grain size before releasing a dark light.

"Darkness Element Core," Yunlong commented while looking at his mother's chest and noticed a black light come out of it.

"Absorb..." Bibi Dong whispered to herself as she tried to bound the newly formed soul core.

After a few minutes, we could see her releasing a sigh of relief as she finally feels a connection from the soul core, which stops devouring her energy.

"The energy around this area is flowing toward her," Yunlong commented while feeling the spirit energy in the area rushing toward Bibi Dong, who is opening her eyes.

"Success." Bibi Dong quietly said while looking around and feels her strength amplified a few times.

'Even though my spirit rank is still the same, I could feel my strength is improving a lot.' Bibi Dong thought while opening her right palm and form a revolving black ball of energy, which is the combination of her spirit energy and darkness element.

"Congratulations, Mother," Yunlong said while smiling at her, to which Bibi Dong responded with a nod.

"It's because of your soul core theory, Yunlong." Bibi Dong modestly replied that she would never think of creating something like this without her son's soul cores theory.

"But we had to cover this up first because if an outsider finds out, there would be a great disaster." She solemnly stated because this theory and method to form a soul core can only be shared with people they trust.

"Sure, I wrote this theory for you in the first place," Yunlong said while nodding his head, which makes Bibi Dong charmingly giggling at him.

"I see... Thank you, Yunlong. I will give you this then." Bibi Dong replied before kissing him on the cheeks, which caught him off guard.

"Ack..." Yunlong dazed while touching his cheeks, which still had a lingering feeling of Bibi Dong's kiss.

Bibi Dong is patting his head for a few moments before walking toward the wooden house and delightfully humming.

Yunlong snapped out of his daze before turning around and staring at his mother's back.

He could see Bibi Dong's gorgeous figure walking in the garden, which is leaving some sore of complicated feeling in his heart.

"Bibi Dong..." Yunlong muttered before releasing a sigh.

"I need more time." He whispered in his heart while walking toward the wooden house.

The following day, we could see Yunlong lay on the bed while quietly breathing with his eyes closed.

The room door suddenly got opened by someone, which makes him frowned a little.

"Young Master, wake up." Chu Xiaoyu silently said while standing beside his bed as she tried to wake him up.

'It's Xiaoyu, huh...' Yunlong thought while pondering about something and decided to prank her a little bit.

"Young Master, wake up." Chu Xiaoyu once again said, but this time she tried to shake his body a little bit.

After shaking Yunlong's body for a moment and sense no reaction, Chu Xiaoyu is frowning before decided to stop and silently watching him.

Chu Xiaoyu is moving closer to him as her face almost touching his face, which is nearly breaking Yunlong's facade.

"Wake up..." Chu Xiaoyu whispered into his ears.

Yunlong suddenly opened his eyes and shouted, "Bo!"

"Kyaa!" Chu Xiaoyu adorably yelped while crouching and closing her ears.

"Hmm? Did I shock you?" Yunlong asked while smiling at his maid, who is looking around before staring at him.

Chu Xiaoyu is staring at him for a few moments before releasing a sigh of relief and nodding her head.

'She also had a cute side, huh.' Yunlong thought while shaking his head and softly patting her head.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Xiaoyu," Yunlong said while looking at her, to which Chu Xiaoyu responded with a nod.

"It's fine..." Chu Xiaoyu replied before back to her quiet character.

"Teacher is waiting.' She calmly stated, which is forming a smile appear on Yunlong's face.

"Okay, let's go together," Yunlong said while lifting his body from the bed and walked toward the door as his maid followed him.
