Soul Beasts Beneath the Earth

"Why, Teacher?" Dongfang Yu asked.

At that, Bibi Dong's originally calm expression changed, replaced by a gloomy look.

Seeing this, Dongfang Yu twitched the corner of his mouth. Sure enough, one did not touch a tiger's backside.

"Nothing." Only after several minutes, when Bibi Dong's expression had improved somewhat, did she answer.

"Xiaoyu, if the world betrayed you, what would you do?"

In truth, she was looking forward to hearing the answer she wanted from him.

Hearing that, Dongfang Yu pretended to think.

Then he revealed a faint smile. "If the world betrays me, then I will destroy this world."

There was no dramatic flourish to it. He simply said those words in an utterly plain manner.

Yet those calm words stirred up a stormy sea within Bibi Dong's heart!

"Xiaoyu, do you truly think that way?" Bibi Dong's tone was somewhat excited. Perhaps even she had not noticed how composed she had become.

She only knew that after so many years—

This was the first time she had been acknowledged. The feeling was like fighting alone all along, only for reinforcements to arrive at the critical moment.

So she really had not been wrong!

"This disciple would not dare deceive Teacher," Dongfang Yu answered properly.

"Mm, very good." Bibi Dong smiled beautifully, and her tone became noticeably lighter.

What heart of iron and stone was there? It was merely that no one had reached the deepest part of her heart.

But after her relief came another dilemma.

Did she truly have to personally destroy this disciple who cared for her so wholeheartedly?

"Xiaoyu, Teacher has a question for you." Bibi Dong hesitated slightly.

"Please ask, Teacher." Dongfang Yu looked at her profile curiously.

Bibi Dong turned her head and met his gaze, but for a moment, she said nothing.
