Decisive in Killing

Although it was only equivalent to a large uninhabited plane, it truly held great potential for development.

The presence of living creatures meant people could live here. With so much space, they could send people in to grow crops. Supporting however many soldiers they wanted would not be a problem. Just imagine it—when war came in the future, they could carry hundreds of thousands of soldiers with them for surprise attacks. How could the Star Luo Empire defend against that?

Having occupied a high position for so many years, Bibi Dong naturally considered many things.

"Mom, I'm hungry," Ye Xinyu said weakly at that moment.

They had already been here for a full five or six hours, and they had been climbing mountains the whole time. By now, she was so hungry she could barely endure it.

Only then did Bibi Dong realize it. She frowned slightly and said,

"What a hassle. Start a fire here first. I'll be right back. Don't run around."

"Mm-hm." Ye Xinyu nodded quickly. She was not stupid. There were Soul Beasts nearby, after all. Even chickens that had cultivated for two and a half years could not be treated as livestock, much less century-old ones. She could not do anything, so how could she possibly beat them?

There was plenty of dry firewood here. Before long, a fire was burning.

A moment later, accompanied by a faint fragrant breeze, her mother came over carrying two cleaned chickens. She casually set them over the flames, then turned her head and sat down nearby.

Though Ye Xinyu felt somewhat helpless at the sight, she still moved closer and took over the roasting.

This mom of hers was really lazy.

At that moment, Bibi Dong took out some seasonings she had brought with her.

"After we finish eating, we'll head out. Even if there really is a time difference here, those people should have already left."

As the Pope, she could not remain outside for too long. The purpose of this trip had been to obtain a Soul Ring as quickly as possible, while also investigating whether there truly was an aura from a Soul Seed.

Ye Xinyu had no objections.

Under the heat of the flames, the roasted meat soon gave off an enticing aroma. Already starving, she immediately began eating.

Bibi Dong, sitting beside her, could not help frowning.

"Eat slower. No one's going to steal it from you."

As she spoke, she gently tore off a piece and began chewing slowly. Yet the moment it entered her mouth, Bibi Dong's eyes lit up.

This chicken was unexpectedly delicious.

The movements of her hands also became much faster.

"Mom, that one's mine. Don't steal it..."

"What do you mean, yours and mine? What's yours is mine."

Not long afterward, in the Star Dou Great Forest, two figures appeared as ripples flashed through the air.

Bibi Dong was stunned when she saw the five people staring around in confusion.

What her daughter said was actually true!

After eating there, they had rested for a while. By her calculations, they had stayed in that plane for a full ten hours. Yet after coming out, these people were still in the same spot.

Their bewildered expressions clearly showed that not much time had passed. At most, it had probably only been a few minutes.

If that was truly the case, then the time difference was likely more than a hundredfold.

At that moment, the scar-faced man was also frightened by the two people who had reappeared two minutes after vanishing. However, he quickly came to his senses.

A treasure, definitely a treasure! And not just any ordinary treasure!

The two of them had suddenly disappeared right in front of all five of them, and their auras had vanished completely. Such a treasure was absolutely priceless! Thinking of this, the scar-faced man's face flushed red, and his heart pounded wildly.

"Hand over the treasure, and I can consider sparing your lives."

Ye Xinyu was also stunned. Although she had long guessed there might be a time difference, this difference was far too huge.

She stretched out her hand, intending to grab her mother's hand, but what happened the next moment shocked her completely.

"Isn't it good to be alive?" Bibi Dong said.

She raised her delicate hand slightly, and a terrifying pressure instantly descended upon the five of them.

"Senior, don't, don't kill—"

Before he could finish speaking, Bibi Dong lightly clenched her right hand. Four of them instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist.

Only the scar-faced man remained before them. Yet under the suppression of Soul Power, his entire body was pressed flat against the dirt, unable to move.

Ye Xinyu finally came back to her senses. Smelling the blood in the air, she immediately braced herself against a large tree and began vomiting.

Only after she had thrown up everything in her stomach and rinsed her mouth did she feel somewhat better.

"Mom, if you were going to kill them, why did you have to make it so bloody?" Her face was still pale. It was hard to tell whether it was from fright or from vomiting.

Bibi Dong, however, said calmly,

"When you venture out into the world, you'll have to face such things sooner or later. Getting used to them early will do you good."

As she spoke, a dagger appeared in Bibi Dong's hand, and she placed it directly before Ye Xinyu.

"Go. Kill him."

Upon hearing this, the scar-faced man lying on the ground under the crushing suppression of Soul Power began trembling uncontrollably.

"S-Senior, I was wrong! I'll never dare again! Please, spare this worthless life of mine!"

Who would have thought that this stunningly beautiful woman, whose aura he could not sense, was far stronger than he had assumed? He had thought she was at most a Soul King, yet she possessed such terrifying strength. With Soul Power pressure alone, she had killed four of his Soul Elder-level teammates.

Even a Soul Sage would find such terrifying strength difficult to achieve. The woman before him was at least a Soul Douluo!

Ye Xinyu looked at the scar-faced man desperately begging for mercy, her heart in turmoil.

"Mom, you've already killed four. One more won't make a difference."

Bibi Dong's expression did not change in the slightest. She remained as cold and indifferent as ever.

"The path of a Soul Master is forged through killing. If you don't even dare kill people, then don't think about becoming a Soul Master."

"B-but, aren't I supposed to become a Support-type Soul Master?" Ye Xinyu asked timidly.

Bibi Dong snorted coldly.

"Do you really understand Support-type Soul Masters? Now, I'll tell you what a true Support-type Soul Master is."

"If an Assault-type Soul Master can't defeat someone, a support can. If a defense-type Soul Master can't withstand the damage, a support can take it. In short, they can fight, endure, support, and carry. That is what a support is."

She had not intended to let her daughter see blood so early, but her daughter's performance today had already exceeded her expectations. Leaving these people alive would only bring trouble. Her daughter had not begged her to spare them, which meant she understood right from wrong.

That saved Bibi Dong the trouble of teaching her about this. Although it was unlikely that her daughter would need to kill anyone herself in the future, it would still be better for her to experience it sooner.

After thinking for a moment, Bibi Dong added,

"You should know that being merciful to enemies is being cruel to yourself. If we were merely ordinary people today and fell into their hands, do you think they would show mercy?"

"However, if you truly don't want to do it, Mom won't force you."

Ye Xinyu's eyes immediately brightened.

"Really?" She already found killing a chicken difficult enough. Making her kill a person was simply asking too much.

Bibi Dong turned her gaze toward the scar-faced man lying on the ground, a faint curve appearing at the corner of her lips.

"You're Mom's precious treasure. Why would Mom lie to you?"

"In a moment, Mom will release the Soul Power suppressing him. If he dares to kill you, then Mom will kill him to avenge you. Of course, you can gamble on him standing there without moving and letting you kill him."

As she spoke, Bibi Dong said to the scar-faced man,

"Don't even think about running. If I notice any intention to flee, I'll kill you first."
