After Mu Ge came down from the Hell Slaughter Arena, he quickly spotted Bibi Dong.
Seeing that Bibi Dong had not left but was sitting at a table with a cup of Yellow Spring Dew before her, Mu Ge's eyes flickered slightly.
"Were you waiting for me?"
Mu Ge naturally came to that conclusion. Over the past half year, he had learned that Bibi Dong had constantly been avoiding him, never giving him a chance to get close.
Since she had not left, she must have been waiting for him on purpose.
"Could it be that you can no longer suppress the baleful aura within you?"
Seeing Bibi Dong's current state, along with the fact that she had ordered a cup of Yellow Spring Dew without drinking it, Mu Ge quickly guessed why she had not avoided him this time and had instead waited for him here.
Mu Ge sneered inwardly. Rather than pretend he had not noticed her, he walked straight over and sat down across from Bibi Dong.
"What? Slaughter Saintess, are you not planning to avoid me anymore?"
Sitting across from Bibi Dong, Mu Ge looked at her and sneered directly.
"Don't think I don't know what you're after. I'm just telling you not to indulge in wishful thinking!"
Bibi Dong answered Mu Ge's words just as directly, coldly firing back at him.
"Fine, I'm indulging in wishful thinking!"
Angered by Bibi Dong's words, Mu Ge sneered mockingly. "Then may I ask, why aren't you avoiding me this time?"
Seeing that she had angered Mu Ge, Bibi Dong knew things were not good. She should not have spoken so bluntly.
Damn baleful aura!
Bibi Dong cursed inwardly. She knew the baleful aura had affected her severely; otherwise, she would never have lost her composure like this.
Back at Spirit Hall, she had spent years perfecting a false face in order to deceive Qian Xunji.
The reason Qian Xunji had been willing to let her enter Slaughter City for training was also because he had believed Bibi Dong's disguise. He thought she no longer hated him, no longer missed Yu Xiaogang, and had accepted reality and understood his good intentions.
"I want to know how you resolved the baleful aura's effects within your body."
Struggling to suppress the influence of the baleful aura within her, Bibi Dong looked at Mu Ge and asked.
She felt that she was nearly unable to withstand the baleful aura's erosion any longer, so she did not beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose.
Just as expected.
Mu Ge was not surprised at all by Bibi Dong's words.
Looking at Bibi Dong, who was gradually losing control, Mu Ge knew that her suppression of the baleful aura within her had nearly reached its limit.
Mu Ge looked at Bibi Dong, calculating something inwardly, before saying, "The baleful aura is easy to deal with. I can simulate the Book of Healing martial soul, then use a Self-Created Soul Skill to clear it away!"
Bibi Dong was not surprised by Mu Ge's answer. It seemed she had long guessed at his method.
She believed in Mu Ge's ability to create his own soul skills.
Long ago, she had been astonished by Mu Ge's talent for creating soul skills.
Therefore, Bibi Dong did not doubt Mu Ge's words. The moment she heard them, she believed him and was about to speak.
But before Bibi Dong could ask anything, Mu Ge continued, "I can help you resolve the baleful aura within your body, but I have one condition!"
"Say it."
Hearing that Mu Ge had a condition, Bibi Dong did not get angry. She merely responded calmly.
"From now on, you can't avoid me anymore!"
Mu Ge looked at Bibi Dong, the heat in his eyes completely undisguised.
Hearing Mu Ge's words, disgust immediately rose in Bibi Dong's heart, but she concealed her emotions well.
Although Mu Ge's request displeased her, it also made her feel somewhat proud.
But pride was pride. She still disliked having someone pining for her.
Still, Mu Ge's request made her feel relieved. If this was all he wanted, then it was nothing.
She simply would not deliberately avoid him so much in the future.
She could even use Mu Ge's affection for her to obtain what she needed.
She needed Mu Ge to help her remove the effects of Slaughter City's baleful aura.
"...Fine, but I'll only agree not to deliberately avoid you!" Bibi Dong looked at Mu Ge and slowly agreed.
The implication was that she would only agree not to avoid Mu Ge. Everything else would depend on Mu Ge's conduct.
Scheming bitch!
Mu Ge cursed inwardly, knowing that Bibi Dong wanted to string him along.
But Bibi Dong was bound to be disappointed this time, because Mu Ge did not plan to help her clear the toxins from the Yellow Spring Dew so quickly. Once that stuff accumulated to a certain extent, it could make people lose their sanity.
Mu Ge had seen quite a few Fallen Ones in Slaughter City suffer an episode after the baleful aura in their bodies had built up to a certain level and they had failed to enter the Hell Slaughter Arena in time.
They truly became utterly deranged. Mu Ge planned to enjoy watching how Bibi Dong would go mad once she could no longer control the baleful aura within her.
He could test it on Bibi Dong anyway!
Afterward, he could simply help her clear the baleful aura from her body and let her recover.
If only there had been a camera. Otherwise, Mu Ge would have recorded Bibi Dong's ugly, deranged appearance and shown her what she looked like after she had gone mad.
"Of course. As long as the Saintess doesn't avoid me, that's enough!"
On the surface, Mu Ge immediately put on a delighted expression.
"It looks like the baleful aura's erosion in your body is already very severe, Saintess. Let's quickly find somewhere and clear it for you!"
"This isn't a suitable place to do it. It would be bad if the Slaughter King discovered us!"
Mu Ge then immediately stood and spoke attentively to Bibi Dong.
"Mm, then I'll trouble you this time!"
Hearing Mu Ge's words, Bibi Dong did not suspect anything. More importantly, what Mu Ge said was true—clearing baleful aura was not something outsiders could witness.
Combined with Mu Ge's performance, Bibi Dong believed him.
She had avoided Mu Ge before because she did not want him disturbing her. She hated being pined after.
There were many, many people in Slaughter City who pined for her, but Mu Ge was the only one who dared approach her. And since she was no match for Mu Ge, she could only avoid him.
"It's no trouble. As long as you're willing, I can help you clear the baleful aura in your body every day from now on!"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Mu Ge seemed very pleased and grew even more attentive.
Hearing Mu Ge's words, another trace of disgust rose in Bibi Dong's heart. Every day? I don't need that.
"Come on. Let's go to my cultivation room. No one will disturb us there!"
Bibi Dong nodded and then walked ahead.
Under normal circumstances, the cultivation rooms provided by Slaughter City did not allow others to enter. But if the room's owner permitted it, then they could.
