The Second Time

As the words fell, the air fell into a dead silence.

Bibi Dong kept her eyes locked on Chen Xing, seemingly trying to judge whether he was lying.

However, no matter what the brat said, he always looked guilty, his eyes constantly darting away—how was she supposed to judge anything?

A wave of irritation surged in her heart; she was truly starting to lose her patience.

Chen Xing had so many secrets, and they were all so well disguised that there wasn't a single trace to be found from the outside.

For instance, why he had obtained three spirit rings at the age of six, just after awakening his martial soul.

Why his martial soul possessed such rich life attributes, yet could also unleash such terrifying Sword Intent.

The more she thought, the more restless she became, so Bibi Dong simply stopped thinking about it.

She refused to believe that she couldn't handle a six-year-old child.

Since he wouldn't talk, she would just keep him by her side; sooner or later, she would discover something.

With that thought, she recalled the main reason she had summoned Chen Xing today.

Releasing Chen Xing's shoulders, Bibi Dong put on an expression she considered gentle and said.

"From now on, do as I say. Do you understand?"

"Oh! Okay!"

Freed from her grasp, Chen Xing breathed a secret sigh of relief and answered immediately.

"Now, release your martial soul."

His martial soul again?

Was his martial soul really that special to Bibi Dong?

Why did she always want to see it?

Though he was puzzled, his movements were swift.

He circulated his spirit power, and the Purple Imperial Bamboo martial soul manifested, hovering gently between them.

The moment she saw the Purple Imperial Bamboo, a hint of undisguised excitement clearly flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes.

Her body, which had been leaning forward slightly, stood up straight. She took two steps forward, crouched on the red carpet, and examined Chen Xing's martial soul closely.

"It's this feeling—the rich life energy that can even suppress the Rakshasa Divine Power."

According to Chen Xing, his martial soul had only become like this after he consumed a miraculous medicinal herb.

But what about before that? Did it possess such rich life energy then?

Bibi Dong had asked Yue Guan about this, and his answer was: it was indeed possible.

For many years, the person in Martial Soul Hall who understood plants and herbs best was none other than Yue Guan.

That man's own martial soul was originally just a chrysanthemum, and it was only later that it evolved into the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum.

Therefore, the moment Bibi Dong learned that Chen Xing had once consumed a medicinal herb, she had summoned Yue Guan to confront him.

Clearly, while others thought Chen Xing was lying, this explanation held the most credibility for Bibi Dong.

Now that his martial soul could suppress her Rakshasa Divine Power, it proved that its quality was likely approaching the god-level.

Pondering this, Bibi Dong spoke again.

"Expand that domain of yours that can summon bamboo."

"Hm? The Purple Imperial Bamboo Forest?"

"Yes!"

Although confused, Chen Xing cooperated obediently.

[Innate Domain: Purple Imperial Bamboo Forest] activated.

First, a ring of purple-gold barrier spread rapidly from Chen Xing as the center, enveloping Bibi Dong nearby.

Immediately after, a patch of Purple Imperial Bamboo sprouted out of thin air within the enclosed area, skillfully avoiding the furniture in the room under Chen Xing's careful control.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes brightened even more.

"It really is an innate domain."

Unlike the Slaughter God's Domain she had obtained in Slaughter City, Chen Xing's Purple Imperial Bamboo Forest was a domain innate to his martial soul.

Its quality was significantly higher than the Slaughter God's Domain.

Driven by curiosity, Bibi Dong silently expanded her own Slaughter God's Domain.

A blood-red barrier unfolded, and a crimson aura of mountains of corpses and seas of blood appeared before Chen Xing's eyes.

In an instant, he felt an intense killing intent, mixed with bloodlust and tyranny, forming a sharp contrast with his own Purple Imperial Bamboo Forest.

The two barriers overlapped, and although Chen Xing wasn't affected yet, his spirit power began to drain rapidly in this state, losing more than half in the blink of an eye.

"Teacher... I can't take much more of this."

He did not want to experience the feeling of soul power exhaustion again, so he immediately whispered a reminder.

"If this continues, my soul power will be exhausted very soon."

Hearing this, Bibi Dong snapped out of her contemplative expression and somewhat reluctantly dispersed her Slaughter God's Domain.

What a nuisance! She had wanted to study the properties of the two domains properly, but this brat couldn't even hold on for a little longer.

However, seeing that the other party had not been affected in the slightest, Bibi Dong could not help but marvel inwardly.

If this brat's soul power were any higher, he might even suppress my domain.

Moreover, when I activated the Slaughter God's Domain this time, my emotions were not affected at all; it is truly miraculous.

But where did that energy from just now go?

Thinking this, she asked directly.

"What ability were you using when you were lying in the main hall earlier?"

Chen Xing was slightly stunned by the sudden question.

"When I was lying in the main hall?"

"Do you mean right after training?"

"Yes!"

While pondering, Chen Xing raised his hand, and a few wisps of pale golden energy slowly condensed in his palm, gradually forming a ball of light.

With the appearance of the golden light, the entire room seemed to be coated in a layer of gold dust. Seeing this scene, the greed and longing in Bibi Dong's eyes were practically overflowing.

"That's it!"

"That's right!"

"It's the same feeling as before, and this time it is clearly even more concentrated and pure."

Being closer, that refreshing sensation flowed into her meridians once again.

She hurriedly brought her cheek close to this energy and circulated her Meditation Method, greedily absorbing it.

Gradually, her soul power completed a cycle through her meridians, and that golden energy followed the soul power into her Sea of Consciousness.

The will that had been eroded by the Rakshasa Divine Power for many years gradually found relief, and her tense emotions began to relax.

Accompanying this was a gentle, cool, and refreshing sensation.

"Mmm~"

A soft moan, mixed with heavy breathing, reached Chen Xing's ears, causing his body to tense up involuntarily.

Whether she truly could not control herself anymore, or if Bibi Dong had completely let her guard down against Chen Xing, she did not choose to hold back this time.

Instead, she wore a morbid and greedy expression, her entire face nearly pressed against Chen Xing's hand.

Chen Xing held the pale golden light ball opposite her, not daring to move a muscle.

What is going on?

Why has this woman suddenly turned into this state?

It is very obvious that this is...

Ugh!

Seeing the other party sinking deeper and deeper, to the point of being completely lost in the moment, Chen Xing really did not even dare to breathe, fearing he might interrupt her.

It was unknown how much time had passed.

The golden light ball in his hand had become very faint.

At this moment, Bibi Dong had pressed her entire cheek against Chen Xing's palm, completely immersed in her own world.

The prolonged lifting had made Chen Xing's arm feel slightly sore.
