I Choose Bibi Dong!

Ye Tian turned to face his sister and explained with a smile, "The cost of a grenade launcher isn't expensive; two hundred thousand gold spirit coins will cover it. But the shells are valuable. For example, during the recent drill, when we leveled that mountain five kilometers away, it cost us a whopping nine hundred thousand gold spirit coins worth of shells."

Hu Liena's small mouth opened slightly in amazement, exclaiming, "What you're firing isn't shells; it's practically a rain of gold spirit coins!"

Ye Tian spread his hands helplessly, "You were the ones who insisted on seeing the demonstration. I only wanted to put your minds at ease, to show that I have the ability to protect both of you."

If he didn't prove his capability, and kept his two sisters worried every day, Ye Tian would feel bad.

This was a perfect opportunity to test the army's combat abilities as well.

Ye Tian chuckled, "Now you understand why this secret unit can't be used lightly, right?"

"When poor, rely on tactical maneuvers; when rich, rely on firepower. Right now, our family is poor, so we must stay here on the Eastern Sea Coast, within this small piece of land for protection."

"If we leave the Eastern Sea Coast, I can't guarantee your safety."

Hu Liena giggled and clung to Ye Tian's arm, "You really are a good brother."

She playfully looked at Bibi Dong, "Teacher, you really have a good little brother."

Bibi Dong remained expressionless, her face calm.

Before meeting Ye Tian, she had never thought that there could be weapons capable of dealing with spirit masters on the Douluo Continent.

Now, seeing what Ye Tian had demonstrated, Bibi Dong was truly shocked inside.

If the Spirit Hall army were equipped with these powerful grenade launchers...

Bibi Dong was confident that she could use this to wrestle full control of Spirit Hall from the Elder Hall and Qian Daoliu, that old man.

Within three years, she would lead Spirit Hall to unify the continent!

But Ye Tian had also mentioned earlier that the shells were expensive.

Spirit Hall's annual tax revenue was only seventy to eighty million, and at most, half of that could be allocated to the military.

At this rate of expenditure, Spirit Hall's economy would collapse in just a month.

It seemed that securing Ye Tian's support was crucial. With Ye Tian's top-tier intellect, combined with her own formidable strength, Spirit Hall would have a future.

Perhaps... binding Ye Tian to herself through marriage would be a good option.

Thinking of this, Bibi Dong smiled at Ye Tian, "Your performance truly surprised me."

"Of course," Ye Tian responded confidently, "As the saying goes, you should look at someone with fresh eyes after not seeing them for three days. And you, sister, have been gone for three years. The me of today is no longer the same as before."

He spread his arms, looked up at the sky, and said contentedly, "From now on, we siblings will focus on developing here on the Eastern Sea Coast, living peacefully. Whatever storms rage on the Douluo Continent, they won't affect us."

Pausing, Ye Tian glanced at the golden-haired Hu Liena and said with a smile, "And you too, little sister Nana."

Hearing this, Hu Liena's face flushed, and she pouted, "I never said I was staying here."

"What?" Ye Tian's expression suddenly changed, "You still want to leave?"

Hu Liena raised her neck high, challenging, "What? Is that not allowed?"

"My secret is completely known to you. What if you leave and leak it?" Ye Tian glanced at Zhou Long standing to the side, giving him a signal.

Scorpion Douluo Zhou Long immediately stepped forward, surging with spirit power.

Seeing Scorpion Douluo, Hu Liena panicked slightly and took a step back, her face wary as she stared at Ye Tian. "You... what are you planning?"

Ye Tian ignored her and instead looked at his sister. "Sister, is she trustworthy?"

Bibi Dong smiled, "Of course, Nana is reliable. She has no parents and has been a poor child since she was young. After coming to Spirit Hall, she's been by my side. I trust her."

Hearing his sister's words, Ye Tian gestured for Zhou Long to step back.

He glared at Hu Liena, raising his fist in a mock threat, "Why didn't you say you wanted to leave earlier? For my sister's sake, I won't hold it against you."

"But if you dare to leak my secret, hmph..."

He had been careless. He hadn't expected Nana to want to leave.

Had he known earlier, he wouldn't have brought her to Sea Soul Valley.

Bibi Dong looked at the two of them, covering her mouth as she laughed. She then said to Ye Tian, "Little Tian, I actually have a way to ensure Nana won't leak your secret."

Ye Tian's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, "Sister, what's the plan?"

Bibi Dong replied, "You two could get married. That way, Nana would be bound to you forever, and of course, she wouldn't leak anything."

"Teacher!" Hu Liena's face turned red all the way to her ears, and she stomped her foot.

Ye Tian gave Hu Liena a strange look, "I haven't even agreed to anything, why are you blushing like a teapot?"

He tilted his head and studied Hu Liena for a moment, commenting, "Your figure's not bad, your face is pretty too, but your temper's not great."

Ye Tian shamelessly turned to his sister and said, "Honestly, my ideal type is someone from Spirit Hall."

After saying that, Ye Tian's face was full of anticipation.

"If I could marry someone like her, my life would be complete!"

"Oh?" Bibi Dong tilted her head and laughed softly.

Privately, she had heard that the two acknowledged beauties of the younger generation in Spirit Hall were Hu Liena and Qian Renxue.

Now Hu Liena was standing right in front of Ye Tian, and yet he wasn't interested.

Could it be her daughter, Qian Renxue?

If it was Qian Renxue, that could be tricky.

After all, her relationship with her daughter wasn't great, making it difficult to interfere in her marriage.

Hearing Ye Tian's words, Hu Liena's face flushed red as well.

Does Ye Tian like Sister Qian Renxue?

But they've never met before...

Could it be that I'm not pretty enough? Or is my figure not satisfactory?

As a girl, Hu Liena still had a competitive spirit. She raised her eyes, staring at Ye Tian with her red face, and asked, "Ye Tian, between Hu Liena and Qian Renxue from Spirit Hall, who do you like more?"

Hu Liena and Qian Renxue?

Ye Tian was a bit confused. Although he hadn't seen them in person, he had read the Douluo Dalu novels.

Faced with Nana's question, he pondered for a moment, then hesitated, "In terms of looks, Hu Liena is prettier, but in terms of figure, Qian Renxue's long legs are better. Overall, they each have their strengths."

"Oh ho!" Hu Liena's fair face was full of amusement. "That's quite the well-rounded answer, pointing out both of our strengths."

Then she stared directly into Ye Tian's eyes and said, "But just like in studies, there must be a ranking. If you were to marry one, who would it be from Spirit Hall?"

After she finished speaking, Hu Liena's heart began to pound, and she stared intently at Ye Tian.

"Do you really want to know?" Ye Tian's expression became odd. He hadn't expected Nana to be this curious. He said dreamily, "Do I even need to think about it?"

Hu Liena's eyes widened, her heart in her throat, "You've already made up your mind?"

"Of course." Ye Tian looked up with a face full of longing. "If I had to choose, of course, I'd choose the Pope, Bibi Dong!"
