"Cough, cough!" Bibi Dong coughed lightly, interrupting Luo Ling and Qian Renxue as they exchanged lingering looks.

"Qian Renxue, you should still have a mission to complete. Now that you've obtained your Soul Ring, don't linger in the Star Dou Great Forest for too long."

Bibi Dong truly could not bear to watch any longer. Her heart grew increasingly irritated; she did not want the disciple she thought so highly of getting involved with Qian Renxue.

Qian Renxue came to her senses, gave Luo Ling a deep look, then turned to Bibi Dong.

Silently watching the woman before her, Qian Renxue did not mention the reaction between her Martial Soul and Luo Ling's. She merely nodded.

"In that case, Pope, I'll be leaving first," she said calmly.

Seeing this, Luo Ling intended to stop Qian Renxue and test whether the reaction between them had truly been a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. But just as he was about to speak, a chill ran down his back.

Carefully turning around, Luo Ling saw the anger in Bibi Dong's eyes.

In his vision, the black aura coiling around Bibi Dong's Soul Body Thread had grown even denser.

"Teacher." Luo Ling frowned as he looked at the wisps of black aura and cautiously asked, "Have you come into contact with something unclean recently?"

Bibi Dong froze, unable to find words for a long while.

Luo Ling's expression turned serious. He remembered that Bibi Dong in the original story had been an exceptionally crazed woman.

However, he did not know when Bibi Dong had begun to go mad in the original story.

Luo Ling could be certain that during the year since he had arrived at Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong had not shown many abnormal signs.

But now, Bibi Dong's Soul Body Thread had changed.

Luo Ling racked his brain, recalling the original plot. Slowly, he thought of someone.

Or rather, a god.

The Rakshasa God!

According to the original setting, Bibi Dong had caught the Rakshasa God's attention after returning from the City of Slaughter. Could she now have been eroded by the Rakshasa God's Divine Sense?

"X-Xiao Ling, what do you mean by that?" Bibi Dong grew somewhat nervous. She had also felt that she had changed a great deal lately. She became easily angered and was no longer very rational.

At times, she would even think of Yu Xiaogang.

She had already decided to give up on Yu Xiaogang and never have anything to do with him again. Yet lately, she often found herself thinking of killing Yu Xiaogang.

If Luo Ling had not promised to take revenge on Yu Xiaogang, she felt that she might already have secretly arranged for someone to make a move.

Although Bibi Dong in the original story had also been influenced by the Rakshasa God and hated Yu Xiaogang, she had not wanted to kill him.

But now that Luo Ling had exposed Yu Xiaogang's true petty nature, Bibi Dong's hatred for Yu Xiaogang had risen to an entirely new level.

Luo Ling knew nothing of Bibi Dong's thoughts.

Gazing at Bibi Dong, he had already confirmed his suspicion. Shaking his head, Luo Ling said, "Teacher, you should know that after my Martial Soul's First Soul Skill fused, it gave me the ability to see Soul Body Threads."

Bibi Dong listened quietly, unable to understand what Luo Ling meant. Ghost Douluo, Hu Liena, and the others nearby also looked over curiously.

"I saw some records concerning Soul Body Threads in the Library."

"A Soul Body Thread is an attribute of a person's soul essence. Almost no one can see it. Its form can reveal aspects of a person's soul, mental state, and even physical condition."

Luo Ling spoke unhurriedly, then suddenly turned solemn.

"I saw Teacher's Soul Body Thread. It is entangled by a black aura. Teacher, have you really not touched anything unclean?"

As Luo Ling slowly finished speaking, Bibi Dong's expression shifted unpredictably.

She finally understood what Luo Ling meant.

She also knew about her own changes and naturally understood their cause.

But she could not give it up. That was a god's inheritance!

A few minor changes meant nothing! As long as she endured it and became a god, everything would return to normal.

"Xiao Ling, perhaps you saw it wrong. There is nothing wrong with Teacher. I simply haven't been sleeping well lately." Bibi Dong shook her head, unwilling to mention the Rakshasa God.

Luo Ling stared at Bibi Dong. He was not surprised by her explanation. After all, it involved a god, and he had only been Bibi Dong's disciple for a year.

However, he was very interested in the thing wrapped around Bibi Dong's Soul Body Thread.

After considering his words, he said, "Teacher, could you let me try touching your Soul Body Thread? Perhaps it can ease your mental condition."

Bibi Dong hesitated. She was still somewhat wary of her disciple's Martial Soul ability, but when she saw the clarity in Luo Ling's eyes, she ultimately nodded.

Luo Ling was somewhat surprised. He had not expected Bibi Dong to agree so readily. After all, even he knew how terrifying his Martial Soul was.

Having received Bibi Dong's approval, Luo Ling did not waste any time and raised his hand.

Countless Soul Body Threads glowing red immediately intertwined with Bibi Dong's Soul Body Thread.

Bibi Dong's body tensed. She could feel that in an instant, it was as though the entire world had slowed down, and all of her bodily senses had become sluggish.

At the same time, an icy sensation rose from the depths of her soul.

Luo Ling fixed his gaze on the black aura. He did not try to erode Bibi Dong's Soul Body Thread—that would have been suicidal. He merely used the Soul Body Threads under his control to touch that trace of blackness.

At once, an incomparably evil aura surged into Luo Ling's soul along the Soul Body Threads—but only for an instant.

Seductive red light burst from Luo Ling's eyes, and an Evil Shadow emerged from his body.

The instant the black aura came into contact with the red light, it was swallowed and dissipated like mice meeting a cat.

Luo Ling's gaze sharpened. His Soul Power had actually increased!

In a dark corner of the God Realm.

A hideous-looking woman suddenly raised her head. Frowning as if she had sensed something, she looked into the distance.

Her gaze seemed able to transcend space and pass through layer upon layer of barriers. She saw the inheritor she had chosen.

And a little boy.

Gorgeous red light flickered in the boy's eyes, while a dark aura shrouded his body.

Behind the boy, an Evil Shadow flickered in and out of sight.

As though it had sensed something, the Evil Shadow raised its head as if it were alive.

At that moment, Luo Ling also silently raised his head and looked toward the lush branches and leaves above.

Suddenly, everything before him vanished.

In Luo Ling's vision, a hideous woman appeared.

The woman's eyes filled with terror, and her already frightening face became even more twisted.

In a daze, the woman seemed to say something.

"Primordial... Devil?"

The next second, the vision vanished. Luo Ling shuddered all over and once again saw the trees above him.

"Primordial Devil?" Luo Ling was utterly confused.

He did not know what had happened. Nor did he know that behind him, the Evil Shadow that resembled him revealed a faint smile.
