"As for your performance just now, all I can say is..."
"Average. Very average!"
Nan Feng leaned against Bibi Dong's bed and began his review.
"Get lost!" Bibi Dong shot Nan Feng a look.
"Me?" Nan Feng looked baffled.
"You're actually telling me to get lost?"
"Scram!" Bibi Dong really didn't feel like dealing with this jerk anymore.
All he had to do was flap his lips. What about her?
Was it that she hadn't thought of these things?
No, she just couldn't do them!
"Fine, fine, I'm going!" Nan Feng transformed back into a kitten, looking thoroughly displeased, and jumped to the floor.
"Remember! You're the one who told me to get lost!"
"Stop right there!" Bibi Dong looked like she had a stomachache.
"Not a chance!" Without looking back, Nan Feng held his head high and strode toward the door.
"Come when called and leave when dismissed? Who do you think I am?"
"I'm done serving you!"
"If this place won't have me, there's somewhere else that will!"
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! Don't look down on a young—mmph!"
Bibi Dong wordlessly scooped Nan Feng off the floor and pressed him against her chest.
The world fell silent.
Several days later, Saintess Hall received a message from Pope Hall.
Qian Renxue was preparing to leave Spirit City and hoped to see Bibi Dong before she left.
Bibi Dong naturally had no intention of going. She declined, claiming she was in seclusion.
After enjoying a period of leisure, Nan Feng threw himself back into cultivation. Now that they were safe, he needed to hurry up and undo the Dog Talisman's effects.
Bibi Dong needed to stabilize her Killing Intent, so she gave Nan Feng the Ten Headed Fierce Yang Serpent Inner Core they had obtained earlier on Hell Road.
And so, they both entered seclusion to cultivate.
Time flew by, and a year passed in the blink of an eye.
During that time, Bibi Dong added a seventy-thousand-year Spirit Ring and an eighty-thousand-year Spirit Ring as the fourth and fifth Spirit Rings for her Soul-Eater Spider Emperor, bringing her to Level 90. Then, in Death Grand Canyon, she successfully hunted a hundred-thousand-year Death Spider Emperor and advanced to Titled Douluo.
By the time Bibi Dong and Nan Feng returned from Death Grand Canyon, Qian Xunji had already led a large number of Spirit Masters out of Spirit City. Even Bibi Dong, the Saintess, couldn't find out why.
Going by the timeline, Qian Xunji had gone out to hunt the exposed Hundred-Thousand-Year Blue Silver Emperor. Then Tang Hao would fight desperately and beat him half to death.
"Better days are coming."
Nan Feng, who had turned into a kitten as usual, lay in Bibi Dong's arms and watched the darkening sky.
"What better days?" Bibi Dong asked in confusion.
"Our better days," Nan Feng said.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Bibi Dong carried Nan Feng toward Saintess Hall.
She had only just advanced to Titled Douluo. She couldn't even beat Qian Xunji, let alone deal with Qian Daoliu, who was also in Spirit City.
What better days could there be...
Several days later, a few battered figures hurtled into Spirit City from the sky, then plunged toward Elder Hall.
The commotion was so great that every Spirit Master in Spirit City at Soul Saint rank or above sensed it. The Titled Douluo elders stationed throughout the city rushed toward Elder Hall as well.
They didn't think anyone would be stupid enough to charge into Spirit City alone and crash into Elder Hall, but they still had to show up.
Nearly twenty Titled Douluo elders of Spirit Hall, including the High Priests, soon arrived at Elder Hall. Then they saw something that left them stunned.
Moon Guan and Gui Mei, both gravely wounded, lay on the ground beside Qian Xunji, who was barely alive as well.
"What happened?"
While Qian Daoliu was in seclusion, Golden Crocodile Douluo, the Second Worship in charge of Elder Hall's affairs, arrived at the scene.
When he saw Qian Xunji's condition, Golden Crocodile was stunned too.
"Why are you just standing there? Save them!"
Not far away, Bibi Dong, who was in Saintess Hall, sensed the commotion from the figures that had just flown into Spirit City. But she didn't care.
Before long, however, terrifying Soul Power erupted from Elder Hall, its force nearly reaching across the entire city.
"Qian Daoliu..." Bibi Dong's expression stiffened.
The old monster hadn't made a move in decades, but he was still terrifying.
"But to make that old monster this furious..."
Bibi Dong stopped cultivating and released her Spiritual Power. Though the sacred Six-Winged Angel Soul Power suppressed her, preventing her from accurately sensing what was happening inside Elder Hall, still...
Buzz!
A blood-red Killing Intent suddenly erupted from Bibi Dong. But she wasn't out of control, nor was she angry. She was surprised—and delighted.
As the Divine Slaughter's Domain slowly faded, a savage smile appeared on Bibi Dong's face.
Qian Xunji!
So this day had finally come for you!
Without wasting a moment, Bibi Dong got up, concealed her presence, and made her way toward Pope Hall.
"You're really in a hurry..."
Bibi Dong had been gone for quite a while before Nan Feng, in his kitten form, finally arrived.
He'd been hoping to go see the commotion, but Bibi Dong clearly hadn't planned on bringing him along.
"Oh, well. I won't get in your way."
Nan Feng turned around and headed for the room where Hu Liena was.
He was hungry. He'd have to get Hu Liena to take him if he wanted something good to eat.
After all, he was a cat right now—a Soul Beast—and couldn't wander around by himself. Otherwise, someone could simply kill him, and no one could say a thing.
But those days were almost over.
Once Qian Xunji was dead, he'd be able to move around Spirit City openly.
A beautiful tomorrow was just around the corner!
"Where did Teacher go?"
Inside Saintess Hall, Hu Liena held Nan Feng in her arms as she lounged on a rocking chair in the sun.
Several days had passed since Bibi Dong disappeared. The truth behind the figures who had crashed into Elder Hall from the sky that day had gradually come out.
Pope Qian Xunji, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, and Ghost Douluo Gui Mei had been ambushed by rebels from the Clear Sky Sect while away from the city. All three had been seriously injured.
Pope Qian Xunji had led the charge. While saving the two elders, Ju Gui, he was ambushed by Tang Hao of the Clear Sky Sect. After returning to Spirit City, his injuries proved fatal, and he kicked the bucket.
"Who knows?" Nan Feng stretched lazily.
The night Bibi Dong sneaked into Pope Hall to kill Qian Xunji, he'd been worried, so he used Soul Projection to follow her.
Everything went smoothly. Bibi Dong successfully killed Qian Xunji and devoured his body and soul.
Then the Rakshasa Divine Power that had been lying dormant inside Bibi Dong emerged.
The Rakshasa Secret Realm opened.
Qian Daoliu sensed the Rakshasa Divine Power within Bibi Dong and grew wary, giving up his revenge for his son. After devouring Qian Xunji, Bibi Dong entered the Rakshasa Secret Realm.
She probably still hadn't come out.
But the original story said that Bibi Dong only formally began the Rakshasa God Trial after reaching Level 99. So she'd probably only gone in to see what it was like.
After all, there was a risk of failure in the God Trial. Bibi Dong was cautious; without being fully prepared, she wouldn't begin it recklessly.
"Brother Feng, why do you like turning into this little kitten?" Hu Liena asked curiously.
"Like?" Nan Feng's little cat face fell.
"What makes you think I like looking like this?"
How could he not want to live openly?
But if that bastard Qian Xunji found out that another man had appeared by Bibi Dong's side, who knew whether he'd try to hurt him?
"I've never seen you resist when Teacher holds you," Hu Liena said, looking puzzled.
"Why are you so reluctant when I hold you?"
"First, I'm not interested in little kids. And second..." Nan Feng glanced at Hu Liena's flat chest.
"It digs into me."
