Chapter 2

……

"When is your next match?" Nan Feng asked.

Bibi Dong opened her eyes, "In seven days."

In the matches at the Slaughter City, the opponents arranged become stronger the further one progresses, especially for someone like her on a winning streak; after fifty matches, it is basically nine against one.

At the very beginning, she was indeed struggling a bit, needing time to recover after every match, as well as to calm the killing intent within her body.

But with Nan Feng's help, she could recover very quickly after a match, and the influence of the killing intent on her was also reduced to a minimum.

However, due to that recurring dream she often had, she was unable to calm her mind to compete, to the point that now, nearly three years later, she was still stuck in the City of Slaughter.

"So, this is our last seven days?" Nan Feng fiddled with the Rubik's cube in his hands; this was something he had made himself when he was bored, and it was also his only form of entertainment in this godforsaken place.

"Mm." Bibi Dong responded softly, not looking at Nan Feng.

While she was here, this was her territory, and the nearby Fallen Ones would not come here to seek death, but after she left, this place would soon be occupied by other Fallen Ones.

Nan Feng was just a Healing-type Spirit Master; although in that strange dream, Nan Feng was very strong, right now, he was still just a child, a child who had to be terrified even when sleeping...

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Nan Feng throw himself into her arms, Bibi Dong was stunned.

"If you want to stab me, just do it. Anyway, once you leave, I won't live much longer," Nan Feng said with his eyes closed.

"Being stabbed to death by you a few days early makes no difference."

Bibi Dong had occupied him for so long that, in fact, the Fallen Ones in the inner city of the City of Slaughter had long since discovered him; it was just that, cowed by Bibi Dong's powerful martial force, those guys didn't dare to come and snatch him.

Once Bibi Dong left, the anger those idiots had accumulated against her would surely all be vented on him.

Of course, it was highly unlikely they would kill him, but from then on, he would probably have to return to that life of being snatched back and forth like a tool.

"..."

Bibi Dong looked at Nan Feng in her arms with a complex expression. After all, this child had accompanied her for three years, helped her for three years, and she had watched him grow up. If she could, she would have liked to take Nan Feng out with her, but the rules of the City of Slaughter were such that even she didn't have absolute certainty of walking through the legendary Hell Road, let alone taking Nan Feng out.

Three years, relying on each other for survival in this godforsaken place without seeing the sun for three years; she had watched Nan Feng grow from a tiny little thing to how big he was now. When she was injured, when she was sad, it was this child who accompanied her, and now...

Time passed second by second. Not feeling the slightest killing intent, Nan Feng raised his head in confusion, "You're not going to stab me?"

Bibi Dong turned her head away, "Do you really want me to stab you?"

"Oh..." Seeing that Bibi Dong wasn't resisting, Nan Feng decided to go all out and dove into the canyon.

Bibi Dong turned her head back, her eyelid twitching wildly.

You brat, you're pushing your luck, aren't you!

"I'll give you three seconds," Bibi Dong said gloomily.

"Three."

"Two."

"..."

Nan Feng didn't move, looking like a dead pig unafraid of boiling water.

Seeing this, Bibi Dong raised her right hand, just about to swat Nan Feng away, but found that no matter what, she couldn't bring herself to do it. In the end, it just landed gently on the back of Nan Feng's head.

"Hm?" Nan Feng raised his head in confusion.

What the hell?

He had been prepared to play the "bitter meat" trick, so why wasn't she beating him? Could it be that she had been ambushed by him in the dream realm so many times that she was already used to it? "Speak, what do you want?" Bibi Dong said.

"Before I leave, whatever I can do, I will try my best."

"Really?" Nan Feng slowly lowered his head.

Bibi Dong had black lines on her face, "My patience has a limit!"

"Oh." Nan Feng sat up honestly. He didn't need to use the bitter meat trick to get things done; he wasn't an idiot who went looking for a beating.

"I want you to use your green, oily big spider form to help me..."

"It's the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor!" Bibi Dong said, speechless.

"Oh, I want you to use your green, oily Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor to help me suck up some things," Nan Feng said.

Bibi Dong's eyelid twitched slightly, "I'll say this one last time, don't add adjectives like 'green and oily' in front of it."

"Oh, I'll remember that," Nan Feng nodded.

Bibi Dong had a bit of a stomachache.

You'd better really remember it! "Suck up what?" Bibi Dong asked.

"Just suck up those people outside," Nan Feng said.

"Then, you take the things you sucked from them and pour them into me..."

"Stop!" Bibi Dong raised her hand to interrupt.

"Are you tired of living?"

The Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor indeed possessed the devouring attribute, but she had never used it before entering the City of Slaughter because once this ability was exposed, she would become a bona fide Fallen One.

Moreover, the aftereffects of this kind of devouring were very troublesome; the losses outweighed the gains.

"What's wrong?" Nan Feng asked in confusion.

Bibi Dong took a deep breath and explained, "The spirit power attributes cultivated by different types of martial souls are different, and the quality of spirit power of Spirit Masters of different levels is also different. If the spirit power of a high-level Spirit Master enters the body of a low-level Spirit Master without being converted, it will cause the low-level Spirit Master to explode and die, not to mention the conflict between spirit powers of different attributes."

"Even for me, the energy devoured by the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor is very difficult to absorb, let alone pouring that energy into your body."

After that day, there wasn't a moment she didn't want to become stronger and take revenge, but she had never thought of relying on the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor's ability to devour. It wasn't because she was kind, but because this ability was quite useless! If the energy she devoured into her body didn't match her own attributes, it would conflict with her own energy. If she wasn't careful, she would explode and die! The risk was too great, and the losses outweighed the gains! "Oh, I see," Nan Feng nodded.

"Then are you willing to help me?"

Bibi Dong was stunned, "Did you even listen to what I said?"

"I listened, but I don't have any other choice now, do I?" Nan Feng shrugged.

Before Bibi Dong arrived, he was snatched back and forth by those idiot Fallen Ones and had no time to cultivate at all. After Bibi Dong arrived, he spent most of his time creating dream realms.

Therefore, although he had gained nearly double the cultivation speed in this godforsaken place by a stroke of luck, because he didn't have much time to cultivate, he was only at level twenty-eight now.

There was still a long time before reaching level thirty to unlock the next talisman. If he wanted to unlock the next talisman before Bibi Dong participated in the next match and entered the Hell Road, he could only rely on Bibi Dong's devouring ability to speed things up.

"What do you mean?" Bibi Dong asked in confusion.

Having been together for so long, she had also discovered the strange attribute that Nan Feng was not suppressed by the City of Slaughter's domain and could cultivate normally, but this was not a good thing for him personally.

Once discovered by the King of Slaughter, he would be finished! "If I can reach level thirty before your next match, maybe I can tag along with you to get out," Nan Feng said.

"Tag along with me to get out?" Bibi Dong was stunned.

"How?"

"You help me reach level thirty first, and then I can demonstrate it to you," Nan Feng said.

"No!" Bibi Dong refused.

"The method you mentioned is too dangerous; you will die."

She had never tried to infuse the power devoured by the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor into someone else, because that was energy that even she needed to spend a large amount of time to slowly digest by relying on her own devouring attribute. Nan Feng himself didn't possess the devouring attribute; once energy of different attributes and different qualities entered his body, he would die!

"But if we don't do this, after you leave, I'll be as good as dead anyway," Nan Feng shrugged.

"So, are you going to help or not?"
