Keeping Bibi Dong Company Was Like Keeping Company with a Tiger, Star Dou Edge

Bibi Dong's gaze shifted, and she unexpectedly saw traces of an old acquaintance in Ye Tian.

But soon.

That shadow was covered by Ye Tian's face.

"..."

Ye Tian raised his eyes and stared blankly at Bibi Dong as she leaned closer.

Bibi Dong looked at Ye Tian before her.

She could not help but freeze.

What was she doing?

Her butt was sticking out, and she was practically lying on the table!

"Teacher, do you need something?"

Ye Tian asked uneasily.

He had been deeply engrossed in his studies just now, and his bad habit as a scholar had acted up again. Whenever he saw a blank answer sheet, he could not resist filling it to the brim.

The question he had answered was precisely the one Bibi Dong had left behind: how to resolve the drawbacks of Twin Martial Souls?

But he had only just gently pulled back his pen and proudly admired the answer sheet, now so full it was nearly overflowing, when he noticed Bibi Dong's gaze.

He had only answered a question.

Surely she would not kill him to silence him over that, right?

"N-No, it's nothing. Your handwriting is good. Continue."

Bibi Dong shook her head in a fluster, awkwardly straightening herself and lowering her raised hips back onto the seat.

The faint fragrance drifted away, yet Ye Tian still stared without blinking.

Uneasy and suspicious.

Was it really nothing?

With Ye Tian staring at her, Bibi Dong felt uncomfortable all over and snapped, "Read! Why are you looking at me? Do I have words on my face, or a Spirit Beast? Keep reading!"

"Ah, yes, yes."

Ye Tian nodded repeatedly, relieved inside.

Keeping Bibi Dong company was like keeping company with a tiger!

Bibi Dong's tense body relaxed as well. She looked at Ye Tian, her cheeks faintly flushed.

As his teacher, she had truly lost her composure.

Though her thoughts were unsettled.

The shock Ye Tian had brought her still occupied the greater part of her mind.

Could it be...

That the number one theoretical expert in the Soul Master World, whom she had supported and cultivated—

Was about to become a joke?

The thought had only flashed through her mind before Bibi Dong rejected it.

This kid did not even recognize many Spirit Beasts.

Perhaps he had merely stumbled onto the answer by blind luck?

Ye Tian lowered his head and continued reading.

He had not expected to hear such familiar words even in this foreign world.

It made him feel oddly close to home.

After that,

They traveled in silence as the wheels rumbled onward.

Spirit City stood at the junction of the Heaven Dou Empire, the Star Luo Empire, and the Star Dou Great Forest. Whether in geographical or historical terms, Spirit City could be considered the center of the entire Pan-Continent to some extent!

It was very close to the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.

In less than half an hour, Ye Tian and the others arrived at their destination.

"Whoa—!"

As the coachman repeatedly tightened the reins in short bursts, the entire carriage slowly came to a stop.

Though everything inside the carriage tended to lurch forward, the movement was not severe.

The inertia also flung Ye Tian's thoughts out of that room. He raised his head and looked towards Bibi Dong, who was resting with her eyes closed.

"Teacher, we're here."

"Mhm. Come down with me."

Bibi Dong nodded slightly and opened her eyes, her expression as calm as usual. Seeing Ye Tian put that "great work" into his wrist guard, Bibi Dong extended her jade hand.

"Wait! Teacher, I can walk by myself—"

"..."

"You may return. Come wait here again tomorrow morning."

"Yes! Saintess—"

"You may leave."

As her words fell.

Bibi Dong carried the "plaything" in her hand and walked into the woods, gradually being swallowed by the green horizon.

Ye Tian's protest was ineffective.

He could only hang from Bibi Dong's hand, watching the carriage disappear into the distance and the trees around him grow denser, thicker, and taller.

Without realizing it, he had already become vigilant.

Especially in this state where his feet were off the ground, which made him feel deeply uneasy.

Branches and leaves blotted out the sky. The light was dim, almost gloomy.

With One Breath In, One Breath Out, he smelled the fragrance of green leaves and soil, mixed with the stench of droppings, fallen leaves, and even rotting Flesh and Blood.

The smell of blood was not particularly strong.

"Hey—"

Ye Tian watched the ground grow farther and farther away, then suddenly cried out. He immediately shut his mouth and stared fixedly at the beautiful face before him.

"Teacher?"

Being stared at like that made Bibi Dong uncomfortable.

Holding Ye Tian, she shook him twice. Hm? It actually had no effect.

Bibi Dong was about to use the same trick again.

Ye Tian looked at Bibi Dong speechlessly and said calmly, "Teacher, if you don't want to carry me, you can just put me down."

At this moment.

Bibi Dong had already lifted Ye Tian in front of herself, placing him directly before her, close enough for their eyes to meet.

Hearing Ye Tian's words.

Bibi Dong simply stopped playing around. Soul Hunting was more important now. In the future, she would have plenty of time to deal with this kid.

She would make the pity, regret, and even disdain in that boy's eyes all go to hell!

Bibi Dong casually put Ye Tian down.

"Afraid?"

"With Teacher here, I'm not afraid."

Ye Tian lowered his head and adjusted his rough clothes, lying through his teeth with his eyes wide open.

In fact, in a certain sense.

With Bibi Dong at his side, he was even more afraid.

Wasn't a moody lunatic like a ticking time bomb?

Bibi Dong narrowed her eyes. No one disliked being looked up to and relied upon; it was a recognition of one's strength.

Even if the approval of a brat like Ye Tian meant little to her, it still gave her a faint sense of satisfaction. After all, Ye Tian occasionally gave her strange looks.

"Hmph!"

Without showing it, Bibi Dong snorted coldly and lectured, "If I weren't here, would you be afraid? Then do you know why I told the carriage to come back tomorrow morning?"

"Teacher probably wants to spend the night here with me, so I can adapt to this place."

Ye Tian raised his eyes and looked towards Bibi Dong.

This sort of training was normal. He accepted it gladly.

"You have a good head."

Bibi Dong neither confirmed nor denied it. She walked around Ye Tian and continued deeper into the forest.

"Followed. If you die, I won't be responsible."

As her words fell.

The dagger Bibi Dong casually threw had already flown through the air.

Ye Tian hurried forward and caught it. He touched the gem embedded in the dagger's sheath and, like a miser, pressed it to his face to test its temperature.

Then he smiled and quickly followed at Bibi Dong's side.

Bibi Dong glanced at Ye Tian without showing it and rolled her eyes helplessly.

It was just a dagger.

How pathetic!

After their earlier exchange, Ye Tian instead relaxed. His black eyes continuously surveyed the surroundings.

He casually broke off a thumb-thick branch.

And drew the dagger.

Meanwhile, Bibi Dong quietly and deliberately concealed her aura.

After they had advanced less than a hundred paces.

Bibi Dong suddenly stopped, turned to Ye Tian, and warned, "I advise you to stay alert. If you encounter danger that I think you can handle, I will not intervene."

Just then.

Ye Tian had already taken a deep breath, steadied himself, and made to draw his dagger.

Something strange was afoot!

Ye Tian had never truly let down his guard around Bibi Dong.

He had always kept an eye out.

"For example, right now."

Just as expected!

The instant Bibi Dong's words fell, a shadow pounced down from a tree branch diagonally above Ye Tian, at roughly Bibi Dong's height!

It carried a faint, pungent odor of urine.
