The next day.
Bibi Dong did not delay for too long before finding Wang Zhong, who had just arrived at the small wooden house, and led him into the Star Dou Great Forest through the simulated cultivation environment.
Unlike the casual conversation between them last time, this time there was silence between them.
Bibi Dong did not want to speak, and Wang Zhong did not know how to speak.
For Bibi Dong, Wang Zhong's Lovesick Broken Heart Red had shattered something she had always cherished as her own.
The bloody truth and cruel reality had almost driven her mad. Even last night, Bibi Dong had harbored murderous intentions more than once, wanting to crush Wang Zhong, this ant who dared to offend her majesty, to death.
But she suppressed this thought again and again.
With the realization that love had vanished from her heart, hatred and madness were all that Bibi Dong possessed. Now, she had only one goal left.
Destroy the Angel Clan!
And Wang Zhong was her most crucial pawn!
He could not die yet, at least not while the Angels were not completely annihilated.
Even if Wang Zhong were to die, it would be after this goal was achieved. On that day, she would personally devour Wang Zhong whole, making him experience the same pain as Qian Renxue's death.
Those who destroyed her love deserved to die!
Even those who exposed it were equally guilty!
Wang Zhong, on the other hand, felt a coldness from Bibi Dong, a chill that pierced his soul, almost freezing and cracking him whole.
Instinct urged Wang Zhong to flee from her, but with his hand held, where could he escape to?
He dared not speak, nor dare to utter a word! He could only follow her.
He was a student of the Spirit Hall Academy, Bibi Dong's designated disciple, and this identity was something he had personally agreed to and promised. He could not escape.
"Little Wang Zhong, have you thought about which spirit beast you want to obtain your fourth spirit ring from? Do you want me to help you choose?"
The question was the same as the first time they came here, even the tone and expression were no different. Yet, this single sentence brought two extremes.
Before, Wang Zhong's reply was confident and composed, his words revealing the joy and excitement of having found a solution after careful consideration.
But this time, after Bibi Dong spoke, she felt a tremor and dread from the hand holding Wang Zhong.
This discovery caused her, who was walking ahead, to suddenly stop. She turned her head slightly, her wine-red eyes fixing on Wang Zhong.
Facing those seemingly beautiful eyes, Wang Zhong instinctively took a step back. If Bibi Dong hadn't been holding his hand tightly, he might have broken free and run away then and there.
"Ah, this, I haven't thought about it."
"Your Majesty the Pope, please choose for me!"
His voice trembled slightly. Wang Zhong awkwardly shifted his gaze, lowering his head, avoiding eye contact with Bibi Dong's wine-red eyes.
He tried to remain calm, but his fear and trembling deep within his emerald green eyes could not escape Bibi Dong's gaze.
A look of surprise and confusion crossed her stunning face. Bibi Dong walked in front of Wang Zhong and extended her slender, fair jade hand, intending to caress his small face and ask, "Little Wang Zhong, what's wrong? Did you sense something?"
But what Bibi Dong didn't expect was that the moment her artistically perfect, slender fingers touched him, Wang Zhong recoiled sharply and dodged!
The force of this step was so great that it actually pulled his hand free from Bibi Dong's grip.
"I, I'm fine."
Wang Zhong stood a step away from Bibi Dong, scratching his head and chuckling awkwardly.
There was a step between them, and her hand was only half a foot from Wang Zhong's face, yet this small distance made Bibi Dong realize it instantly!
Wasted effort! The more than a year of contact had been declared a waste today! Almost all her efforts had gone down the drain!
She had forgotten that the child before her was not some simpleton easily deceived by appearances. His heart was so sensitive that he could easily discern whether a person was sincere or false.
The killing intent and madness hidden within his heart were the greatest lies!
Bibi Dong closed her eyes, slowly turned around, her hands clasped behind her back, her head held high, letting the sunlight that escaped through the gaps in the leaves fall upon her face. Her wine-red hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall.
Wang Zhong stood far away, his head lowered, nervously shuffling his toes. Bibi Dong remained in that pose, silent.
After a long while, she lowered her head, turned around, and looked directly at Wang Zhong, her voice devoid of any emotion as she asked, "You are afraid!"
"You are not afraid of the dangers in the Star Dou Great Forest, but of me!"
"Am I right?"
Wang Zhong opened his mouth, raised his head to meet her wine-red eyes, and wanted to lie, but in the end, only one word escaped his lips.
"Yes!"
Such an answer caused Bibi Dong's wine-red eyes to freeze for a moment, her breathing becoming rapid. Her chest rose and fell heavily.
Such a sight would captivate many, but unfortunately, the person before her was just a little guy who didn't understand and had no thoughts about it.
"Why!"
Bibi Dong's clasped hands behind her back clenched into fists, her tone filled with a cold severity that almost made Wang Zhong breathless.
"I don't know!"
"I instinctively felt fear and dread from the bottom of my heart."
Wang Zhong gritted his teeth, enduring the pressure, and spoke his truest feelings and thoughts.
"Don't know! Instinct! These words are truly jarring!"
"What you want to say is that you sensed killing intent and danger from me, right!"
Bibi Dong's gaze coldly fixed on Wang Zhong. This time, she did not hide the surging killing intent and madness within her heart.
An extremely chilling killing intent, more ferocious than the ice spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, swept over Wang Zhong, causing his hair to stand on end!
This was the fear of being targeted by a top predator, a coldness formed by the condensation of the aura of death.
"Yes!"
Wang Zhong nodded vigorously in agreement. Under the current circumstances, he had no right to lie.
Before, he could still deceive himself, thinking that the killing intent was not directed at him, but was a result of something affecting her.
But now, this killing intent was completely unhidden. It was aimed directly at Wang Zhong.
Bibi Dong, Wang Zhong's intended teacher, harbored murderous intent towards him!
Wang Zhong's emerald green eyes stared into Bibi Dong's wine-red eyes. At this moment, he felt no timidity or retreat. The truth had been revealed, and he could no longer deceive himself.
Before today, their relationship had been affectionate and warm, but after just one night, that relationship had vanished, replaced by a chilling killing intent.
Wang Zhong did not understand, nor could he comprehend!
Until the moment before Bibi Dong erupted, he was still wondering if he had done something wrong. But he couldn't find it, nor could he think of it!
With his current strength, he could not escape the killing intent of a peerless Douluo. At least, before he died, he wanted to know the reason.
At this moment, Wang Zhong did not believe he had any chance of leaving the forest alive!
