Ling Feng watched Bibi Dong act as though she'd lost her mind and realized that the side effect of the Whale Rubber had intensified her competitive streak.
Fortunately, Ling Feng's spiritual power was strong. None of Bibi Dong's attacks could escape his Fiery Golden Eyes.
And his body was strong, too. Even after taking the Whale Rubber, Bibi Dong couldn't take him down in a short while.
After all, he had consumed two Immortal Herbs, the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and the Infernal Delicate Apricot. How could a single piece of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber compare?
Unless Bibi Dong could consume a piece of hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber, she still had a long way to go before she could take Ling Feng down without using Soul Power.
And hundred-thousand-year Whale Rubber was extremely rare.
Even the Sea God's mount, the Demon Soul Great White Shark, couldn't resist sneaking a bite of this whale brain. How could it end up on the mainland?
"Since you want to win so badly, then I'll just let you win!" Ling Feng thought.
They hadn't agreed on any stakes for this spar, so he might as well let Bibi Dong win one round.
With that in mind, Ling Feng pretended not to notice as Bibi Dong broke through his guard and tackled him to the ground.
"You lost!" Bibi Dong said with satisfaction.
She sat on top of Ling Feng and held him down.
Bibi Dong's body was soft and full, as if she were made of water. When she tackled Ling Feng, she didn't hurt him at all.
But feeling her soft warmth, a jumble of distracting thoughts suddenly sprang into his mind. He even wanted to turn the tables and take control.
Having consumed Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, he keenly sensed that something was wrong with him.
Something's off. I didn't eat any Whale Rubber, so why do these thoughts keep popping into my head?
Could it be because of the Rakshasa Visualization Method?
The God of Rakshasa was a fallen god to begin with. Since he had practiced the Rakshasa Visualization Method, it made sense that he would want to indulge himself and fall into depravity.
It was like the Soul Masters in the Capital of Slaughter. Some of them hadn't been depraved before entering, but they became depraved once they got there.
Bloodshed, murder, and debauchery were everywhere.
"I admit defeat. Bibi Dong, could you let go of me first?" Ling Feng's breathing grew heavy.
Bibi Dong could feel his body's urge, too. As a Soul Master, how could she not know what it meant?
But at that moment, Bibi Dong wanted to take things further. She couldn't bear to let go of Ling Feng.
Ling Feng saw that Bibi Dong's breathing was growing more and more labored, and he didn't dare let things continue. If they went too far, he'd be done for.
For one thing, the other Bibi Dong living inside him might fly into a rage.
And if Qian Xunji found out, he might have Ling Feng skinned alive.
Hmph! Once we leave Spirit City, if Bibi Dong dares to act like this again, I'll make her mine!
But Ling Feng knew he'd only get one chance.
Having suffered once from the side effects of Whale Rubber, Bibi Dong wouldn't be so reckless as to take it again.
Ling Feng felt Bibi Dong's body tremble slightly, as though she didn't want to get up.
He quickly used his Soul Power. A faint golden glow rose around him—the effect of the Ice and Fire Golden Body—and pushed Bibi Dong away.
Bibi Dong left Ling Feng's embrace, and a wave of disappointment filled her heart. But her mind cleared a little, too.
Only then did she realize what she'd just done.
Bibi Dong's cheeks and ears flushed red. She forced herself to remain composed and took five crystals from her Soul Tool.
They were the same kind of Whale Rubber she'd just consumed. She had prepared them for Ling Feng long ago.
Changing the subject, Bibi Dong said, "Ling Feng, here's the Whale Rubber you asked for!"
Ling Feng sat up as well, concealing his body's reaction as he took the Whale Rubber.
"There are five pieces? The Spirit Hall is so generous!" Ling Feng said, genuinely delighted.
Once the benefits of Whale Rubber spread through the Soul Master World, its value would skyrocket.
He might be able to sell these five pieces of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber for over a hundred thousand Gold Soul Coins.
"You deserve them. Do you want to consume them here?" Bibi Dong asked, expectantly.
Though her mind had cleared somewhat, plenty of the drug's effects still lingered in her body.
Deep down, she yearned for Ling Feng to take the Whale Rubber, too, so they could both lose control and indulge themselves.
Ling Feng shook his head. "No need. I'd rather make some preparations before taking the Whale Rubber!"
Bibi Dong felt a little disappointed, but she didn't force him to consume it.
Ling Feng's refusal helped her regain some clarity, and she trusted his character a little more.
She wasn't conceited, but she knew how alluring her looks and figure were to men.
Yet Ling Feng had remained composed. Though his body had clearly reacted, he had still resisted her temptation.
She also believed that someone as clever as Ling Feng must have understood the hint she'd given him.
At the thought, Bibi Dong suddenly felt awkward. She saw him out, saying, "Let's not cultivate Soul Power today. You should head back."
"Wait. There's one more small favor I need your help with," Ling Feng said.
He wanted to leave, too, and come back once Bibi Dong had recovered.
But he was even more eager to verify whether the Rakshasa Visualization Method could help Rakshasa Bibi Dong recover her divine power.
Rakshasa Bibi Dong's recovery was tied to the evolution of his Martial Soul.
"What favor?" Bibi Dong asked curiously.
When she saw that Ling Feng hadn't mentioned what had just happened, the heat in her face faded a little.
"Bibi Dong, I created a Meditation Method. Could you try it and see if you can cultivate it?" Ling Feng said.
"A Meditation Method?" Bibi Dong grew interested.
Ling Feng's earlier theory had already been validated by the benefits of Whale Rubber, so Bibi Dong had great confidence in his cultivation method.
Ling Feng handed Bibi Dong the method and visualization diagram he had prepared in advance.
To ensure the test would succeed, the Rakshasa God Diagram on the page was not only lifelike, but also imbued with a trace of Rakshasa Bibi Dong's aura.
Bibi Dong leafed through the method and was immediately drawn to the visualization diagram.
"What is this picture? Why does it feel so perfectly suited to me?"
After reading the method, Bibi Dong couldn't help sitting cross-legged on the ground and closing her eyes to meditate.
The image of the Rakshasa God slowly took shape in her spiritual world, and Bibi Dong had grasped the basics on her very first try.
The spiritual energy of heaven and earth gathered around her, turning into Soul Power and nourishing her spirit. But that aura of depravity was also affecting her.
Seeing that she had succeeded, Ling Feng hurriedly asked Rakshasa Bibi Dong in his Sea of Consciousness, "Senior, has anything changed?"
Rakshasa Bibi Dong's expression was complicated. She had just spied on everything that had happened in the Cultivation Room.
Knowing herself as she did, she realized that her other self had probably started to like Ling Feng.
So be it. I'll let things take their course, as long as she doesn't repeat the same fate I suffered.
She sensed her divine power and found that it had recovered a little more.
It really is that cultivation method! Ling Feng's guess was right!
Though this trace of divine power was minuscule, it gave her hope of recovering her strength.
To recover completely, she would probably have to spread the method across the mainland and let its power build for countless years.
But regaining a little strength would be enough to help Ling Feng cultivate.
