Pointing at the Mulberry and Cursing the Locust

Tang Yuehua's method was to teach Tang San noble etiquette, music, chess, calligraphy, and painting.

Since that was the case, he would simply transplant these activities here, conducting them in Slaughter City in tandem with the slaughter!

Practicing calligraphy! Painting! Playing chess! Singing!

Bibi Dong watched Li Pu with eyes full of admiration.

Li Pu asked in confusion, "Why are you staring at me like that?"

"Are you really just a ten-year-old child?" Bibi Dong voiced her doubt and curiosity once again.

"Even the most mature children outside, or even adults, do not possess your level of maturity and wisdom."

Li Pu shrugged and smiled, "Just consider me a natural-born sage. Isn't it said that there is a very small chance for consanguineous unions to produce a sage?"

This reason was perfectly logical; Bibi Dong pondered it and thought that perhaps natural-born sages really did exist.

If natural-born divine strength could exist, then natural-born wisdom could as well.

With this, Bibi Dong began to formulate plans involving Li Pu, as she would absolutely need him in the future.

In the time that followed, the two of them would engage in these self-cultivating activities after every victory. Not only did it help one control their own killing intent, but it also suppressed the restlessness in their hearts, keeping them clear-headed at all times.

Their relationship could be described as both mentor and friend.

They even fought side-by-side, dealing with the fallen ones who targeted them.

As their number of victories grew, Bibi Dong was almost catching up to Li Pu, becoming one of the top survivors in the Slaughter City arena. Everyone hoped that these two would eventually meet in the ring.

Only if they met could their own chances of survival increase.

However, once they had won fifty matches, these people could never encounter them. Not to mention that the King of Slaughter was reluctant to lose Li Pu, he also dared not offend the Martial Soul Hall behind Bibi Dong; the two of them simply could not be matched against each other.

In the blink of an eye, a year passed.

Bibi Dong was astonished to find that Li Pu, a child, could grow so tall in a place without sunlight. At first, he hadn't been as tall as her, but now he was the same height, possessing a physique so robust it was moving to behold.

Using animals from the outside world to describe him, a bullfrog was undoubtedly the most fitting.

Compared to the fallen ones of Slaughter City, his appearance was a dimensional strike.

Influenced by the environment of Slaughter City, the fallen ones were basically neither human nor ghost. The appearance of someone so handsome was simply jarring.

One could not count how many beautiful women wanted to throw themselves at this Martial God.

After all, who wouldn't want a powerhouse who was young, handsome, refined, had a bright future, and still possessed his primordial yang!

Even though he was young, in the Douluo Continent, one could actually start early.

Furthermore, anyone who came to Slaughter City would eventually fall due to the daily struggle on the edge of death, especially men, as everyone needed a way to release the pressure under such immense strain.

They were met only by the cold killing intent of Li Pu and the killing intent of Bibi Dong.

As the two parties who stood out in Slaughter City, Bibi Dong was unwilling to let Li Pu lose his innocence to these wretched creatures, and she kept a close eye on him.

Therefore, with her around, no woman could get close to him.

However, Li Pu himself was extremely composed; if it had been anyone else, it might not have been the same.

Despite this, Bibi Dong still chose to follow Li Pu every day.

Every day, aside from slaughter, they would play chess, paint, sing, dance, rap, and play basketball, sometimes even resorting to petty tricks.

Gradually, Bibi Dong felt as if she had found the feeling of a sweet romance from back in the day.

And it was surprisingly found in a little child.

Bibi Dong gave a wry smile; how could she possibly develop romantic feelings for a child?

Li Pu was naturally unaware of Bibi Dong's emotional changes toward him, feeling only that he had her right where he wanted her.

Bibi Dong would occasionally explain stories from outside Slaughter City to Li Pu to supplement his knowledge of the outside world. Li Pu, despite knowing everything about the outside, would still feign ignorance while simultaneously expressing his views on behaviors that appeared normal on the surface but were actually mindless.

"As an excellent daughter carefully raised by a family, she betrays her family time and time again for the sake of so-called love, breaking her family's hearts. Even though it is clear to everyone that this man is a shameless scoundrel who only wants to live off a woman without any ambition, in the daughter's eyes, he is the best and most outstanding man in the world. She breaks ties with her parents for a bowl of white porridge, choosing to elope with the man and live a life of digging for wild vegetables, abandoning her family. Is such a daughter still worth having? If you were this daughter's parents, what would you do?"

"If this daughter were my own, I would probably be heartbroken. Why can't she see this man for who he is?" Bibi Dong stated earnestly regarding the story: "If it weren't for the fact that this daughter had money, beauty, and status, how would that man have approached her? He only wanted to extract benefits from her."

"But this daughter was easily deceived by the man. She couldn't even see the motives of a man who had accomplished nothing in his life; I fear her head must have been kicked by a donkey."

Li Pu smiled, thinking to himself, So you do know, after all. But then why did you become that very daughter?

"But what if that daughter were you?" Li Pu asked, smiling as he looked at her.

"How could that be possible? How could I be that kind of woman..."

By the end of her sentence, Bibi Dong realized something; her gaze dimmed, and she gripped the chess piece in her palm tightly.

"Sister Dong'er? What's wrong?" Li Pu asked, pretending not to know the story behind Bibi Dong.

Bibi Dong's killing intent nearly erupted from her body.

"Sister Dong'er, stay calm. Don't let the killing intent affect you," Li Pu quickly reminded her.

Bibi Dong looked at Li Pu. If Li Pu truly didn't know about her past, she might have actually attacked.

She then stood up abruptly, glared at Li Pu, and left without a word.

Watching Bibi Dong's retreating figure, Li Pu smiled and set down the chess piece in his hand.

With this, Bibi Dong should have sobered up. She must now clearly realize that her feelings were toyed with, and she shouldn't have any lingering attachments to that piece of trash Yu Xiaogang anymore!

After leaving, Bibi Dong made no attempt to restrain her killing intent along the way, scaring the passing fallen ones into fleeing in all directions or even digging holes to bury themselves, leaving the others utterly bewildered.

"Did Blood Rose and Martial God have a fight? Aren't they supposed to be close?"

"There are no friends in Slaughter City!"

"But weren't they heading for Hell Road? To be arguing at a time like this..."

"Who knows? It would be best if they fought each other to the death; that would be better for both of us!"

Bibi Dong marched toward Hell Slaughter Arena, radiating pure killing intent.

She could understand Li Pu's veiled insults, as he was unaware of the story that had unfolded within her.

However, her rage needed an outlet!

The other fallen ones of Slaughter City were the perfect choice!
