Get Lost If You're Going to Get Lost

"No!"

Qian Renxue, who had been observing the battle the entire time, was so frightened that she covered her eyes and let out a sharp cry.

On the other side, the moment Guang Ling realized this arrow would strike Chen Xing, it was already too late to pull it back.

Even the other elders held their breath at this moment.

A full-force strike from a level 96 peak Douluo...

And a six-year-old child was supposed to take it?

The outcome was self-evident.

Such a monstrously talented youth was destined to fall here...

Sure enough, the next second!

The muffled sound of a Frost Arrow piercing flesh echoed, and the entire grand hall fell into instant silence.

Even Qian Daoliu, who was in the middle of his own offensive, halted his steps.

"This..."

"Sigh~"

A single sigh reverberated through the vast hall.

Qian Renxue's heart felt as if it were about to leap out of her chest, and her entire body couldn't stop trembling.

Forcing herself to open her eyes despite her fear, the scene before her made her eyes widen in shock.

"Why..."

In the center of the arena, the arrow that should have struck Chen Xing was instead embedded in the back of Bibi Dong's heart.

The immense force had pierced through her purple armor, and the ice-attribute soul power froze the wound, seeping along her blood vessels to erode her meridians, covering her entire body in a layer of frost.

Chen Xing stared blankly at the scene...

"Tea... Teacher..."

"You..."

Hoo~

Bibi Dong let out a long breath, and the blood foam at the corner of her mouth splattered onto the boy's face, carrying with it a trace of chilling cold.

"I'm not dead yet!"

"I'm putting you down now, don't you dare run away~"

Whether it was an illusion or not, Chen Xing seemed to see a faint smile on this woman's face...

Along with a hint of... trepidation...

Is she afraid that I'll leave?

Why?

Because I can provide her with Golden Light Orbs?

Or is it...

"Big Brother! What are you standing there for?"

"Hurry up and make your move to take Chen Xing back!"

Seeing that his skill had actually been intercepted by Bibi Dong, Guang Ling's face lit up with joy.

He immediately shouted excitedly at Qian Daoliu.

One had to know that under normal circumstances, he couldn't defeat a woman like Bibi Dong; after all, the massive gap in their levels was there for all to see. After level 95, every single level gained was a qualitative leap.

The only reason this arrow had managed to injure Bibi Dong was entirely because she had to protect Chen Xing, forcing her to take the hit with her own body in the emergency.

Otherwise, with her combat awareness, she would have dodged the arrow and remained completely unharmed.

But since the opponent was now heavily injured and had even put Chen Xing down, it was the perfect opportunity to snatch him back.

He pulled the bowstring again, and ice-attribute soul power condensed into a new arrow.

"I'll handle the long-range attacks, you find an opening to grab Chen Xing."

As he spoke, another "Frost Feather" shot out with explosive speed.

Unlike the melee attacks of Qian Daoliu's Angel Holy Sword, the arrows of the Guang Ling Divine Bow were incredibly fast.

With her meridians affected by the ice-attribute soul power, Bibi Dong was unable to use her soul skills for the time being and could only dodge the incoming arrow.

But carrying Chen Xing inevitably restricted her speed.

Therefore...

To prevent Chen Xing from being snatched away, she had no choice but to take the hit with her body once again.

Qian Daoliu stood to the side, his brows knitted into a knot; he knew better than anyone that this was the best moment to seize Chen Xing.

But that sense of guilt in the depths of his heart surged up once more.

He stood there just like that, waiting for Bibi Dong to make her choice...

If she dodged, he would take the opportunity to snatch Chen Xing away.

If she didn't dodge...

Then he would wait for Guang Ling to leave Bibi Dong severely wounded before taking Chen Xing!

Watching the Frost Arrow rapidly enlarge in his field of vision.

Bibi Dong ultimately chose to stand in front of Chen Xing.

Her purple-gold robe was covered in ice crystals, emitting a faint, chilly fragrance.

She channeled her remaining soul power into her arms, crossing them in a defensive posture.

The next second, the ice crystals exploded.

Countless shards of ice mixed with metallic-tasting blood splattered, landing on Chen Xing's hair and face...

A second arrow, a third arrow...

Seeming to perceive the internal conflict within Qian Daoliu, the corners of Guang Ling's mouth curled up as he drew his bowstring once more.

The sound of shattering ice echoed in his ears, interspersed with the woman's pained, muffled groans.

Chen Xing's expression was one of astonishment.

This woman...

What exactly is she doing?

Is she protecting him? Or does she just not want him to be taken away...

Is it really just because of the Golden Light Orb?

Will she not die?

Time ticked away, second by second.

The ice-attribute soul power finally froze all the soul power in Bibi Dong's meridians; by now, her arms were a bloody mess, making the young boy feel a wave of panic.

"Teacher..."

"I..."

"What, do you want to run?"

"Or are you looking for a chance to stab me with a sword?"

As she spoke, Bibi Dong finally could no longer support her standing frame.

Her footsteps staggered, and she fell backward, head tilted.

Seeing this, Chen Xing hurriedly reached out his arms to catch her.

As the cold sensation entered his embrace, he met the woman's gaze once more, and the boy's heart trembled violently.

"Teacher, you..."

Chen Xing finally saw the expression on Bibi Dong's face clearly.

Affected by the frigid energy, the woman's face was deathly pale, her lips turning purple.

The gaze that was once arrogant and unyielding now held a hint of panic and trepidation.

He could feel that, beyond the physical pain, Bibi Dong was definitely afraid of something right now!

Is she afraid of him being taken away?

"Bibi Dong!"

"Why must you be like this..."

Qian Daoliu sighed from the side, a complex expression appearing on his face; he had not expected the situation to turn out like this today.

"Heh~"

"Sanctimonious!"

"Now... you can get rid of me..."

The latter part of this sentence was directed at Chen Xing.

"You must have hated me to the core these past few days."

"Teacher..."

"Enough, you're too young to be learning that hypocritical act."

"If you want to get lost, then get lost quickly!"

As she finished speaking, Bibi Dong stubbornly turned her head to the other side, not wanting to meet Chen Xing's eyes anymore.

But Chen Xing could see her long, purple eyelashes trembling slightly...

Guang Ling laughed wildly and unrestrainedly in the back, having never imagined that one day he would find beating up Bibi Dong so satisfying.

She was completely like a stationary target!

"I really don't understand you women, acting like a lunatic."

"However..."

"With Chen Xing in our Worship Hall, he will definitely be taught better than you could ever manage!"

Facing Guang Ling's mockery, Bibi Dong let out a scoff.

"Heh~"

"You're all dead men sooner or later, so what does it matter if I let you raise him for a while!"

"How bold!"

"Even at this point, you still refuse to give up!"

As he spoke, he actually nocked another Ice Arrow.

Seeing this, Chen Xing's heart began to beat violently!

A strong sense of unease surged into his mind.

This arrow was definitely not that simple.

Having lost all soul power, even a Peerless Douluo with level 99 soul power could not withstand this strike relying solely on physical strength.

Was Guang Ling trying to kill Bibi Dong?

He looked at Qian Daoliu and saw that the other party remained completely indifferent, allowing Guang Ling to gather the arrow, which caused his heart to sink immediately.

No wonder he brought so many people here today, no wonder he wanted to make a move against Bibi Dong; this old guy was actually planning to kill her for real...

But, that was Qian Renxue's biological mother!

Wait!

As of now, only the people from the Worship Hall knew about this!

So that was it!
