Baring Her Fangs

Perhaps out of guilt, or perhaps for some other reason, Bibi Dong surprisingly did not resent Qin Xuan's intimate behavior. She nodded and looked away from him. "Go ahead."

[Bibi Dong's Favorability +5]

"Ding! Congratulations, Host. Bibi Dong's Favorability has reached 70. Just a little more, and you can obtain a Blind Box. Please keep up the good work."

Keep up the good work, my ass. Qin Xuan rolled his eyes inwardly.

Bibi Dong was not some easy woman. Reaching 71 would be immensely difficult.

"I know this journey is perilous, practically a certain death. I don't hold out any hope for it either. I just don't want to leave behind any regrets." Qin Xuan spoke utter nonsense with an affectionate expression. "Before I go to my death, can you give me a hug?"

Just a hug, absolutely nothing else. A double negative.

"No." Bibi Dong had just been about to agree, but Yu Xiaogang's figure quickly surfaced in her mind. She abruptly pushed Qin Xuan away and retreated several steps, putting distance between them.

"Qin Xuan, for the sake of our childhood friendship, I can help you with anything you want. I can even ask Teacher for a Soul Bone to increase your chances of making it out of Slaughter City. But not this."

Just as Qin Xuan had expected, Bibi Dong was not a promiscuous woman. On the contrary, she was extremely conservative.

Even with Yu Xiaogang, the man she loved, they had only progressed as far as holding hands. How could she possibly agree to hug Qin Xuan?

"What, after all these years of friendship, I can't even have a hug?" Qin Xuan began emotionally blackmailing her.

There was no way he would let Bibi Dong ask Qian Xunji for a Soul Bone. On the contrary, if she went, not only would he fail to get one, Qian Xunji might suspect something had happened between them. He might even lose his restraint and send someone to secretly kill Qin Xuan on the way to Slaughter City.

"Th-This..." Bibi Dong hesitated, caught in a tremendous internal struggle.

"Don't worry, I won't get handsy. It's just a simple hug, purely to leave myself something to remember." Qin Xuan coaxed her patiently, looking exactly like an evil old man luring an innocent little girl.

"All right..." Bibi Dong finally relented, a blush spreading across her face. "But let's make this clear beforehand. It's only a simple hug. You can't get handsy, and you definitely can't tell Xiaogang. Also, you have to keep the matter of that book secret for me."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Xuan rushed forward and hugged her. A strong masculine scent washed over her, and Bibi Dong shyly closed her eyes on instinct.

Then, her lips suddenly became wet.

Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes instantly widened.

Boom—

The next second, it was as though she had been struck by lightning. Her mind went completely blank.

Meanwhile, Qin Xuan recalled Bear Grylls's wilderness survival techniques from his previous life.

Because Qian Xunji had protected Bibi Dong too well, she had never experienced wilderness survival before. Even walking on level ground hand in hand with Yu Xiaogang would leave her flushed and breathless.

How could she possibly be a match for Qin Xuan, who had watched Bear Grylls's wilderness survival countless times?

The difference between them was obvious at a glance.

By the time Bibi Dong came to her senses, it was already too late. Qin Xuan had already made it more than halfway through the wilderness survival journey, just one step away from the finish line.

[Bibi Dong's Favorability +10]

[Ding! Bibi Dong's Favorability has reached 70 or above. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Silver Blind Box.]

[Bibi Dong's Favorability +10]

[Ding! Bibi Dong's Favorability has reached 80 or above. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Golden Blind Box.]

[Bibi Dong's Favorability +5]

[Ding! Bibi Dong's Favorability has reached 90 or above. Congratulations, Host. You have obtained one Golden Blind Box.]

[Bibi Dong's Favorability -45. Favorability has fallen to 50 (Anger). Please keep up the good work.]

"Ah—"

Bibi Dong cried out, purely out of anger. She had never encountered anything like this before. Qin Xuan was simply too hateful.

She had only agreed to watch wilderness survival with him. She had never agreed to participate in it.

Even though nothing truly happened between them, Qin Xuan's actions were already enough to make someone blush furiously and become enraged enough to want to kill.

From the past until now, Bibi Dong had traveled across Douluo Continent as Spirit Hall's number-one genius, peerlessly talented and brilliant. When had anyone ever treated her like this? Even the most outstanding disciples of the two great empires and the Seven Great Sects Under Heaven, though enamored with her, had always treated her with respect.

Even Yu Xiaogang, whom she loved, had not dared touch her. Whenever they held hands, she had needed to take the initiative, while he shrank back timidly.

Bang!

Humiliated and furious, Bibi Dong came back to her senses. Her slender body tensed straight, her fair skin gleaming with a violet sheen as Level Sixty-Eight Soul Power erupted from her.

Qin Xuan was merely a Soul King. With a difference of more than ten Soul Power Levels between them, how could he possibly be Bibi Dong's match?

In an instant, the violent airwave sent him flying. Yet he had not been entirely unprepared. He spun several times in midair, landed on both feet, and skidded backward several meters before barely stabilizing himself.

"Sorry, sorry, Sister Dong'er. I couldn't help myself, I really couldn't help myself. You know how I feel about you." Qin Xuan stopped while he was ahead and hurriedly apologized. He knew Bibi Dong was ruthless. Though he had briefly won her heart, if he truly forced her into wilderness survival with him—

She would probably kill him immediately.

Still, he was not discouraged. Although her Favorability had returned to square one in a single move, he had obtained three Blind Boxes. His goal had already been achieved.

And he had even exceeded it.

[Bibi Dong's Favorability +25]

"Sister Dong'er?" Bibi Dong's delicate brows drew together. Remembering how they had known each other in the past, then thinking of Qin Xuan's imminent journey to Slaughter City, her anger subsided slightly. Covering her snow-white chest, she snapped, "Bastard, look at what you've done!"

Although her anger had eased a little, it was only a little.

At most, she would refrain from killing him.

Before the world, she was Spirit Hall's favored daughter of Heaven, gathering all the finest gifts under Heaven. Across all of Douluo Continent, there could be no one with greater talent than hers. Not even the so-called Clear Sky Sect's greatest genius in a century could compare.

She merely needed to conceal her Twin Martial Souls talent for safety's sake.

Yet this favored daughter of Heaven, so extraordinarily gifted and noble in status, had been taken advantage of by Qin Xuan for nothing—and not in any ordinary way.

Uncle could endure it, aunt could endure it, but big sister absolutely could not.

Today, she had to teach this lecherous scoundrel a proper lesson.

Her left hand covered her disheveled collar, while her right hand rose. Her exposed arm was pale, beautiful, and crystal-clear. Soul Power surged in her palm, drawing forth a hazy violet glow as she struck at Qin Xuan.

Bang!

Qin Xuan narrowly dodged to the side. A tree as thick as a man's head behind him was severed cleanly through the middle.

Bibi Dong had not summoned her Martial Soul, so naturally Qin Xuan would not summon his either. Nor would he foolishly take a Soul Emperor-level palm strike head-on.

Whether he could withstand it was another matter. Fighting a fool made one crazy, fighting a crazy person made one foolish, and fighting a woman made one both crazy and foolish.

Qin Xuan considered himself a smart man. Since this was not a fight to the death, he would not act like either a fool or a madman.

However, Bibi Dong was incredibly proud. She had always been spotless, with a terrifying obsession with cleanliness, and would not permit anyone to defile her.

Even Yu Xiaogang had stopped at holding hands.

Violet light blazed from her right palm as Bibi Dong attacked Qin Xuan again. She moved so quickly that trails of violet serpents streaked through the air.

Mm-hmm, this is the revised version. You all understand. The original had a minor issue.
