What a perfect chance!
While Bibi Dong's mind was in turmoil, that twisted, sinister laugh echoed once again in her ear:
"Do you want revenge? Do you want power? Swallow him, and you can ascend to Titled Douluo immediately!"
"Get out!"
Bibi Dong's spirit shook violently, as if being torn apart from within. An even more terrifying darkness surged, rapidly corroding her spiritual sea.
Her pupils flickered with a strange purple-black hue.
Something wasn't right.
Seeing Bibi Dong's eyes change, Su Linfeng's heart trembled. Even his martial spirit was being suppressed.
The aura of the Rakshasa God… truly terrifying.
But under this extreme yin, extreme cold suppression, his martial spirit was awakening at an astonishing speed. Within his scarlet flame-like soul power, faint streaks of golden fire began to emerge.
Only then did Su Linfeng feel slightly better.
Sure enough—it was just as the saying went: great fortune comes with great risk. Right now, all he could hope for was that Bibi Dong wouldn't completely lose control.
"Jie jie jie jie…"
That eerie, mocking voice once again slithered into Bibi Dong's ear:
"Since you can't do it yourself, let me help you. Sooner or later, you'll learn to enjoy this feeling…"
"No!" Bibi Dong cried inwardly.
But it was useless.
Her resistance collapsed as the evil aura devoured her spiritual power. Her once purple-black pupils darkened into pure, abyssal black.
Rip—!
The sound of tearing fabric.
Eight sinister green spider spears slowly extended from Bibi Dong's back—the Death Spider Emperor's Eight Spider Spears. One of them slowly aimed directly at Su Linfeng.
She's losing control!
Su Linfeng's heart tightened.
A cruel smile tugged at Bibi Dong's lips as one spear stabbed toward his brow.
But before it could pierce, Su Linfeng's Golden Flame Domain erupted instinctively, soul power surging like a storm. Golden fire threads danced like living dragons, wrapping around the spear.
Wherever the golden flame passed, the evil aura retreated. Even the spider spears themselves cracked under the pressure.
Bibi Dong's spirit was shaken. Her pupils flickered rapidly, shifting between black and violet.
His martial spirit… is evolving!
Su Linfeng's heart leapt. He had gambled correctly!
Staying by Bibi Dong's side not only multiplied his cultivation speed many times, but even forced his martial spirit to evolve under the oppression of divine evil aura.
"Elder Sister…"
That single call made Bibi Dong's body shiver. Clarity returned to her eyes, and her willpower resurfaced.
"Xiao Feng!"
Realizing how close her spear was to piercing Su Linfeng's forehead, Bibi Dong was horrified. The darkness in the room shattered instantly—replaced by his Golden Flame Domain.
Warmth. Comfort.
The feeling spread through her entire body.
The next second, barefoot, she rushed forward and hugged Su Linfeng tightly, frantically checking him over.
"Did it hurt you anywhere just now?" she asked in a panic.
Su Linfeng only grinned cheekily.
"See, Sister? I told you—my flame can drive away your darkness. You didn't believe me."
Bibi Dong froze.
After nearly killing him, this brat was still smiling?
"You can still laugh?"
Once she was sure he wasn't hurt, her tense heart finally relaxed. Her cold, untouchable mask slipped back into place, as if her worry had been nothing more than a passing illusion.
But Su Linfeng's eyes…
We were already fixed on her.
The transformation of her Eight Spider Spears had shredded her thin sleepwear. Snow-white skin peeked out from behind her cascading chestnut hair.
A dangerous allure stirred in his heart.
"What are you staring at, little brat?"
Bibi Dong noticed his gaze and sighed bitterly. "Do you even understand what you're looking at?"
Understand?
You bet I do.
Su Linfeng chuckled awkwardly, but his soul—ten thousand and six years old, with two lifetimes behind it—was already boiling. Don't underestimate this "child."
After placing him back on the bed, Bibi Dong fetched a new set of clothes from her wardrobe and slipped them on.
Returning, she studied him like he was some strange creature.
"How odd… Your martial spirit has changed again. Even the evil will that I can't suppress… is afraid of it."
Her tone softened. She reached out, pinching his cheek apologetically.
"If not for that… I really might have hurt you just now."
Indeed, the Golden Flame Domain was extraordinary.
The closer Bibi Dong sat to Su Linfeng, the calmer she felt. It was like finding dawn in endless darkness.
Like holding a warm baby.
Not only was her Killing God Domain suppressed, but even that insidious Rakshasa aura had completely vanished from her sea of consciousness.
"Now do you believe me?"
Su Linfeng puffed out his chest proudly. "Sister, I can not only help you control that blood energy—I might even suppress the evil aura invading your mind."
"What?"
Hope flickered in Bibi Dong's eyes. She leaned closer, intrigued. "You can control it?"
Ever since returning from the Slaughter City, she had been tormented endlessly. Her Killing God Domain often spiraled out of control, turning her murderous. On top of that, the Rakshasa's evil aura constantly gnawed at her soul.
It wasn't that she wanted to ignore Qian Renxue and Su Linfeng—she simply couldn't trust herself around them without risking harm.
Su Linfeng nodded, speaking frankly. "I'm at least fifty percent confident. But it will take some time."
"Really?"
Her gaze softened with hope as she knelt in front of him. "Then… what do you want me to do?"
Because Su Linfeng was sitting cross-legged on the bed, Bibi Dong could only kneel on the floor, leaning forward to match his height.
Her posture—knees bent, calves tucked at her sides, hips resting on the floor—was a classic "duck sit."
And with her loose nightwear and forward-leaning posture, her neckline revealed faint glimpses of pale snow.
Ah… Truly, when young, you mistake a sister's grace, thinking only maidens are treasures…
"Hmm?"
Noticing his eyes again, Bibi Dong frowned and instinctively covered her chest.
She pinched his cheeks with one hand, scolding softly:
"Hmph! This bad habit of yours—I will break it one day!"
…Whoops.
Su Linfeng scratched his head awkwardly, then steadied his expression.
"Elder Sister, relax your mind. Release your blood energy. Let me… enter your body first."
"Ah!?"
Bibi Dong's whole body trembled. A blush crept across her flawless cheeks.
You little brat… what did you just say!?
