Chapter 1

Seven Precious Jade Sect

The girl opened her eyes groggily and saw a vague figure by the bed watching her.

Without a second thought, she shouted loudly, "Ah! Dad~ Grandpa Bone~ Grandpa Sword!"

"Damn, don't shout!" The vague figure, hearing the little girl's shout, instantly panicked and turned into a shadow, entering the girl's body.

Through the girl's body, the vague man looked out and saw that two middle-aged men with anxious faces were already standing by the girl's bed.

Inside the girl's body, the vague man patted his chest and sighed in relief, "Thank goodness I reacted quickly, or I would have been discovered. I don't want to be found so early."

"Rongrong, what's wrong? What's wrong?" The two middle-aged men asked the girl in front of them anxiously. It was clear how important the little girl was to them.

The girl, still frightened, pointed to where the vague figure had been standing and said in a childish voice, "There was a ghost just now!"

"Quick, Old Bone, go find it! Find that ghost for Rongrong!"

"Sure! Wait, why don't you go, Coward? I still need to stay with Rongrong!"

At this moment, a man with an extremely refined and steady demeanor, handsome and elegant, wearing a silver crown, walked in from outside the door.

"Alright, Uncle Sword, Uncle Gu, don't you know Rongrong? She's definitely just playing with you."

The young man who walked in was the sect leader of the Seven Precious Jade Sect, Ning Fengzhi. The girl on the bed was his daughter, Ning Rongrong. The two middle-aged men by the bed were the two elders of the Seven Precious Jade Sect, Sword Douluo Chuxin and Bone Douluo Guyong.

Ning Rongrong, with her hands on her hips, said angrily, "That's not true, there really was a ghost just now!"

She had indeed been scared. After all, children always can't help but be afraid of such things. She was also puzzled; she had clearly seen a figure, and it seemed to have spoken, but it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

...

As night fell, the moonlight draped a silver-white veil over the entire earth. Under the bright moonlight, travelers were on the move.

Ning Rongrong lay quietly in bed, sleepiness already enveloping her. Just as she was about to drift into dreamland, a shadow emerged from her body.

Ning Rongrong seemed to sense something emerging from her body, and the sleepiness instantly vanished. She looked at the vague figure by the bed with fear, her lips trembling, tears welling up in her eyes, and she was about to burst into tears.

"Dad... um~"

Seeing the situation, the shadow quickly covered Ning Rongrong's mouth and said hurriedly, "Don't cry, don't cry, I'm not a ghost, I'm your guardian spirit!"

At this moment, Ning Rongrong wasn't listening. Although her mouth was covered and she couldn't make a sound, tears still streamed down her cheeks.

Seeing that his words weren't working, the shadow quickly added, "I was sent by heaven to protect you."

The shadow then took out a lollipop from somewhere and waved it in front of Ning Rongrong, trying to calm her down, "Here, here, here, if you don't cry, I'll give this to you!"

Ning Rongrong, after all, was just a child. The appearance of the lollipop instantly had a decisive effect.

Holding the lollipop, she licked it and, with some lingering fear, asked, "Are you really sent by heaven to protect me?"

"Of course, my name is Bai Shuo, and I am your guardian spirit!" Bai Shuo smiled, introducing himself while wiping away the tears on Ning Rongrong's face.

"My name is Ning Rongrong... So, what is a guardian spirit? Is it like a soul beast that Dad talks about?"

Hearing this new term she had never heard before, Ning Rongrong immediately became interested, subconsciously associating it with a soul beast.

Bai Shuo shook his head and smiled, explaining, "A guardian spirit is not a soul beast. It guides your cultivation, protects you from any harm, and stays with you to guard you!"

Bai Shuo was also very troubled. He never thought he would cross over again, and this time to the Douluo Continent.

A thousand years ago, Bai Shuo crossed over from Earth to the Xuan Yu Continent. After a thousand years, Bai Shuo became the supreme ruler of the nine realms, transcending the continent, and broke through the original universe's constraints. In the primordial chaos, he attained enlightenment and cultivated his own universe, about to be inscribed on the Golden List of the primordial chaos.

However, just as he was about to write his name on the Golden List, everything went black, and Bai Shuo crossed over again.

This time, he existed as a spirit in Ning Rongrong's mind.

Fortunately, apart from his own universe, all his other abilities and strength still remained. The most pressing matter now was to figure out why he was here and the condition of his current body.

What troubled him the most was whether he would be affected if Ning Rongrong was harmed. Although his strength had diminished, he was still more than capable of being Ning Rongrong's guardian spirit on the Douluo Continent. Even the gods of the Douluo Continent's divine realm feared the suppression of the cosmic laws, and Bai Shuo had already cultivated his own universe.

"Will you play with me, then?"

Ning Rongrong was just a little over five years old. Her mind was filled with nothing but play. She wasn't interested in cultivation or protection; she only cared if someone would play with her.

Bai Shuo's lips curled into a smile, and he ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, saying, "Of course, no matter what you do, I'll be with you."

"Great! I'll go tell Dad!"

Ning Rongrong excitedly jumped out of bed, eager to share her joy with her father.

Bai Shuo quickly pulled Ning Rongrong back and said, "Don't tell your dad about my existence yet."

"Why not?"

"Because I don't want others to know about me. I am your guardian spirit, and only you should know."

Although she was just a child, she had a strong sense of possession. Hearing Bai Shuo's words, her possessiveness instantly rose, and she immediately agreed.

"Alright."

Bai Shuo smiled and ruffled Ning Rongrong's hair, saying gently, "Alright, it's very late now, go to sleep!"

After Ning Rongrong fell asleep, Bai Shuo watched her with interest, his thoughts drifting. If it were just like this, it wouldn't be so bad. During the thousand years on the Xuan Yu Continent, Bai Shuo never relaxed for a moment. Now, in this state, his mind was much calmer, and his past worries seemed trivial. Let me take a break...
