Inner Core and Domain

Inner Core and Domain!

Xu Xin had not expected Tang Hao to have fans in the City of Slaughter. Worse still, it was an obsessive idiot fan.

Still, a life-saving debt was indeed worth something in a place like this.

In this man-eating place, perhaps a single beam of light was enough to keep someone alive.

Perhaps Tang Hao had never expected that the person he had once saved would offer himself in return.

Compared to working himself to the bone, this man seemed to prefer offering himself instead!

Then Xu Xin would indulge him.

After all, I, Xu Xin, especially love helping others!

Tang Hao: You call this helping others?

After wandering around the City of Slaughter for half a day, he had found them. Not bad at all.

Some things were simply destined.

With a snap of his fingers, a Ninja Soldier appeared beside Xu Xin. "Take me to the Third Elder."

The Ninja Soldier acknowledged the order and led Xu Xin toward where Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong lived.

It had been almost over a week. He wondered what the two of them would think when they saw him.

Knock, knock, knock!

Xu Xin lightly knocked on their door.

"Get lost!!"

Liu Erlong's irritable roar came from inside. Clearly, she had gone through this many times over the past few days.

Xu Xin could already imagine the expression on Liu Erlong's face.

"Sister Erlong, it's me!" Xu Xin called helplessly.

Liu Erlong snorted from inside the room. "The people in this City of Slaughter really are disgusting. They actually want to try the same trick a second time."

"Pah! I've really given them too much courage."

Just as Liu Erlong was about to head out, Bibi Dong stopped her.

"Erlong, why bother with them? Those people are going to die sooner or later anyway."

"If we kill them now, who will be left to fight us in the Killing Arena later?"

Bibi Dong soothed Liu Erlong. Over the past few days, such matters had become commonplace. Once they killed a few more opponents, no one would dare provoke them again.

Strike once to scare off a hundred blows.

"Fine, I'll listen to you, Dong'er."

Liu Erlong sat down in a huff, planning to vent properly once she entered the Killing Arena later.

Liu Erlong waved her fists.

After waiting outside for quite some time without hearing any movement inside, Xu Xin knocked again. "Sister Erlong, Sister Dong'er!"

Xu Xin called out once more.

"Are you done yet?!" Liu Erlong had already been in a bad mood, and now she was even more annoyed.

"Erlong, wait..." Bibi Dong had barely spoken when Liu Erlong had already possessed her martial soul and charged outside.

Xu Xin felt a wild force rushing toward him and instantly dodged to the side.

Where was he?

Liu Erlong stormed out, fully prepared to hammer someone. Although Soul Skills could not be used, martial souls could still be summoned. Otherwise, how could Tang Hao have used the Clear Sky Hammer?

"I say, Sister Erlong, we've only been apart for a few days. Was there really any need to treat me like this?"

Xu Xin looked resentfully at the irritable woman.

"Eh, Xu Xin, it really is you."

Liu Erlong smiled awkwardly, immediately withdrew her martial soul, and excitedly rushed over to hug Xu Xin.

She had been all alone here. If Bibi Dong had not been with her, Liu Erlong felt she might have gone mad.

"All right, all right, Sister Erlong. I came to see you two this time, but I'll be leaving again shortly."

Xu Xin spoke slowly.

Liu Erlong released Xu Xin and led him into the room.

"Sister Dong'er."

"Xu Xin, it really is you. How did you get in here?"

"You can't get out now."

Bibi Dong spoke worriedly.

Xu Xin shook his head. "It's fine. This place doesn't restrict me much. I came this time because I have something to do, and I stopped by to see you two."

Xu Xin spoke calmly. The City of Slaughter was no great problem to him; compared to the Ghost Shadow Kingdom, it was far inferior.

Seeing Xu Xin's confidence, Bibi Dong did not ask further. As the Holy Maiden, she knew where to draw the line.

"Sister Erlong, there's something here that you need."

"Remember to take it when the time comes."

Xu Xin looked at Liu Erlong and spoke slowly.

"Something I need? In this dump, other than the Domain Dong'er mentioned, what else could possibly be worth having?"

Liu Erlong spoke disdainfully. For some reason, ever since coming here, she had become increasingly irritable.

She always felt that this place was affecting her, but she could not put it into words.

"Sister Erlong, put on the mask. It can reduce this place's influence."

Xu Xin spoke coldly. Seeing his serious expression, Liu Erlong did not hesitate and immediately put the mask on her face.

In an instant, Liu Erlong felt the agitation in her heart diminish considerably, and her mind became much clearer.

Without a spiritual-type soul bone, Liu Erlong's Spiritual Power was not particularly strong, making her easily susceptible to the City of Slaughter's corruption.

With the mask now, things were much better.

"Thank you, Hall Master!" Liu Erlong's deep voice rang out as she spoke softly.

"You're welcome, Sister Erlong."

Seeing this, Bibi Dong was not particularly envious. After all, this was a secret of Shadow Hall, and it was not her place to ask.

Still, seeing her good friend like this made her quite happy.

"Oh, right, Sister Dong'er, Sister Erlong, don't drink any more Bloody Mary either. That stuff isn't good."

Xu Xin reminded them again. The two nodded in agreement; this was not a problem.

"Xu Xin, what was that thing you said I needed?" Now feeling much better, Liu Erlong asked.

Bibi Dong also cast him a curious look. Could there really be some great expert within Shadow Hall who knew things even she did not?

"There's a primordial exotic beast in Hell Road: the Ten-headed Fiery Sun Snake. Its inner core is useful for your martial soul, Sister Erlong."

Xu Xin spoke seriously. He remembered that after that loser absorbed the inner core in the original story, his martial soul had transformed into the Seven-Headed Fire Phoenix. Moreover, the inner core had more uses than that.

It could grant immunity to snake venom, suppress snake-type creatures, increase Soul Power...

In short, it was quite good. Rather than letting that little bastard benefit from it, Xu Xin might as well use it now to increase his own people's strength.

He did not need it himself, but his people could use it.

However, Xu Xin did not mention the god-position inheritance within the City of Slaughter. Bibi Dong was not yet one of his people. If only Liu Erlong were here, he certainly could have said it, but not now.

"Okay!" Liu Erlong nodded and agreed readily. The Hall Master really did treat her well.

"What about me? Is there anything suitable for me?"

Bibi Dong looked eagerly at Xu Xin, a faint trace of longing in her eyes.

Xu Xin shook his head. "Sister Dong'er, the most suitable thing for you in the City of Slaughter is the Domain."

Xu Xin had no intention of mentioning the Rakshasa God Position. The current Bibi Dong was not like she had been in the original story. She had not gone through those experiences and was still innocent.

The Rakshasa God Position would not seek her out either.

There was no need to worry about that.

"All right."

Bibi Dong lowered her face dejectedly. No was no. Having a Domain was already pretty good; she could not be too greedy.

"Hehe, don't worry, Dong'er. I'll protect you from now on."

Liu Erlong chuckled, but with her mask on, her laughter sounded incomparably eerie, like a female ghost.

It made Bibi Dong shudder.
