Whether it was the tone or the expression of the other party, Chen Xing felt that this was a naked threat.

Even right in front of Qian Daoliu, this woman did not hide her killing intent in the slightest.

He was thinking that if he refused Bibi Dong now, it was entirely possible that she would kill him on the spot.

Moreover, judging by how Qian Daoliu had indulged Bibi Dong's actions over the years...

There was a high probability that even if he didn't die today, he would be constantly targeted in the future.

After all, if he joined the Worship Hall, he would have already become an enemy of Bibi Dong.

The best way to deal with a future powerhouse was to nip them in the bud before they could grow!

Summary:

If I don't choose Bibi Dong, I might die right now...

If I choose Bibi Dong, I can live for a while longer.

Thinking of this, Chen Xing's throat bobbed, and he swallowed involuntarily.

His young face was filled with panic, and his eyes darted back and forth between Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue.

"Little one, your eyes are purple too!"

"You and I are destined to be together; how about becoming my personal disciple?"

Bibi Dong was very satisfied with Chen Xing's reaction; it was clear that the other party had been frightened by her aura.

Children were just timid; she had only revealed a trace of killing intent, and he was already scared out of his wits.

Seeing that the boy couldn't say a word for a long time, Bibi Dong simply grabbed his small hand and, ignoring the gazes of everyone present, pulled him to her side.

However, Qian Renxue on the other side saw this and was not to be outdone; she grabbed Chen Xing's other hand with a resolute expression.

"Come with me! That woman will only harm you."

"Don't worry, as long as you join the Worship Hall, I will send people to protect your safety around the clock."

Hearing Qian Renxue's naive idea, Bibi Dong couldn't help but let out a sneer.

"Heh~"

"Send people to protect his safety? Send who?"

As she spoke, she looked provocatively at the elders of the Worship Hall.

At this moment, Qian Renxue also cast her gaze toward Qian Daoliu and the others behind her.

Send who?

She Long and Chi Xue couldn't even beat Gui Mei and Yue Guan; the Worship Hall had no other strong experts available. Were they supposed to have these titled elders protect Chen Xing?

Facing their gazes, Qian Daoliu's eyes flickered away.

As the Great Elder of Martial Soul Hall, he was a synonym for power in the eyes of the world.

The mistakes Qian Xunji had made in his early years left him speechless when facing Bibi Dong. Even knowing that she had killed his son, he had chosen to let the matter rest, let alone for a boy he had never met before.

If Bibi Dong really killed Chen Xing because he joined the Worship Hall, he probably wouldn't be able to say anything either.

In fact, as early as the day before, when he learned that Gui Mei had abducted Chen Xing, he had already secretly given up on this struggle in his heart.

It was just that regarding Qian Renxue...

She was the granddaughter he had doted on since she was small, yet this time he couldn't give her enough support.

"Grandfather..."

"Is it really not possible?"

Qian Renxue had already received the answer from his evasive eyes.

She didn't understand why they had to give up on competing for Chen Xing.

That woman was simply threatening her in front of everyone.

If Chen Xing joined the Worship Hall, he would have to face her endless pursuit, and in the end, no one would be able to keep this genius.

"Xue'er, let it go..."

"In any case, it's all for the service of Martial Soul Hall..."

Until the answer was spoken personally by the other party, the light in Qian Renxue's eyes instantly dimmed.

Seeing this, a victor's smile appeared on the corner of Bibi Dong's mouth.

She even provocatively pulled Chen Xing into her arms.

However, how could Qian Renxue, who had grown up in the Worship Hall, endure this grievance?

She immediately activated her Martial Soul Avatar.

"Bibi Dong! You have repeatedly targeted me on purpose."

"Now you are even threatening me and the people I protect in front of everyone."

"You clearly know that I discovered Chen Xing first, yet you still came out to intercept him halfway."

"I want to have a decisive battle with you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, it was as if a spark had ignited the fuse of a powder keg.

Bibi Dong had just been feeling smug and satisfied, happy to see Qian Daoliu looking so frustrated.

Suddenly, her expression froze, and her eyes turned incredibly gloomy.

A terrifying wave of soul power erupted from her entire body.

A decisive battle?

The person before her actually wanted to have a decisive battle with her?

She watched the light flowing across the Holy Sword in the hands of Qian Renxue and couldn't help but think of that person from years ago...

Rakshasa Divine Power surged, and a wave of evil soul power leaked out from between her fingers.

This scene startled everyone present.

Chen Xing, who was holding her hand, bore the brunt of it, as a cold, sinister force tried to invade his meridians through his palm.

"What's going on? Why did she suddenly lose control!"

In his desperation, he had no choice but to circulate his soul power to resist.

Who knew what kind of harm this ghostly thing could do to his body? His life had only just begun...

Seeing Bibi Dong in this state, Qian Daoliu hurriedly pulled Qian Renxue away.

"Calm down!"

Just before leaving, a cold shout imbued with light-attribute soul power rang out, entering Bibi Dong's ears.

Only then did she manage to barely steady her emotions.

Chen Xing, standing to the side, watched this scene with a look of utter despair on his face.

Sure enough! In the end, he had still fallen into the hands of Bibi Dong.

The other party was still holding his hand, but fortunately, the so-called Rakshasa Divine Power didn't seem all that powerful.

For some reason, although that force was violent, evil, and looked imposing, he only needed to focus his mind and use the Sword Intent he had comprehended two days ago to resist it, and it would basically be neutralized in a few moments.

Bibi Dong, having calmed down, closed her eyes and took a long, deep breath.

At this moment, she suddenly thought of Chen Xing in her hand; with the Rakshasa Divine Power leaking out just now, wouldn't it have directly crushed this little fellow to death!

She hurriedly grabbed Chen Xing's small hand and looked down at him.

"Hmm? He wasn't affected?"

"How is this possible!"

She saw that although the boy's expression was ugly, it clearly wasn't caused by physical discomfort, but rather looked more like helplessness...

This couldn't help but shock Bibi Dong quite a bit.

One had to know that ever since she began accepting the Rakshasa God Trial, its divine power had been affecting her body at every moment.

When the symptoms were mild, it was just emotional instability, which she could regulate effectively if she tried to restrain herself.

When the symptoms were severe, it would erupt directly, and the leaked divine power would take even a Title Douluo like Gui Mei a long time to digest.

Yet this brat was acting like nothing had happened!

"Is it my own illusion? Could it be that the divine power didn't leak out..."

As she pondered this in her heart, the people from the Worship Hall on the plaza had already begun to withdraw one after another.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong also took Chen Xing back to the Pope Hall.

"This boy doesn't seem as simple as he looks..."

"That's right! What kind of person could cultivate to the level of a Soul Elder at the age of six."

From just now until now, Bibi Dong had never let go of the boy's hand, and she was even carefully rubbing the texture of the boy's skin, pinching it here and there.

This action directly made cold sweat seep out from Chen Xing's back.

He suddenly felt that choosing to take human form in the first place had been a mistake...

Being the only hundred-thousand-year Solitary Bamboo in the Soul Hunting Forest seemed like it would have been just fine.

For the entire day, he had only spoken a few words to Qian Renxue at the very beginning, and after that, all the arguments regarding his ownership had nothing to do with him personally.

In other words, he had absolutely no right to choose which camp he belonged to.
