"Hmm?"
"Am I being seen as prey?"
Xu Ran looked up, his gaze piercing through the barriers of the buildings towards the distance.
"What do you mean?" Bibi Dong asked with her charming, large eyes locked on Xu Ran, blinking. She didn't feel there was any danger for them in Slaughter City.
"We've both been targeted."
"By whom?" Bibi Dong was somewhat surprised. After all, she was the Killing God of Slaughter City, a mighty force. In Slaughter City, she was a dominator. Who would dare trouble her?
"It's the King of Slaughter," Xu Ran said.
"Why?" Bibi Dong asked curiously. She was well aware of the King of Slaughter, the true ruler of Slaughter City. The strength of the King of Slaughter had reached the level of a Title Douluo of the 99th Rank.
The King of Slaughter was powerful, and even she would not provoke him lightly.
A Title Douluo of the 99th Rank, especially one with a bloodthirsty nature like the King of Slaughter, was naturally not someone she would offend.
"The King of Slaughter actually has another identity; he's the former Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan, Tang Chen."
"Back then, Tang Chen came to Slaughter City wanting to become the Killing God and inherit the legacy of the Asura God. Tang Chen was highly gifted, and his ascension to godhood was almost seamless. However, just when Tang Chen was one step away from becoming a god, an accident occurred. A powerful and bloodthirsty ferocious beast, the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, sought the opportunity to possess Tang Chen's body."
"But what the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King didn't expect was that Tang Chen was too strong, and its attempt to seize his body failed. Since then, both the man and the beast have been fighting over the body. Because of the influence of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, Tang Chen even forgot his own identity, and that's why he hasn't returned to the Hao Tian Clan for so many years." Xu Ran began to reveal the secrets about Tang Chen.
"I see. He was the Sect Master of the Hao Tian Clan two generations ago," Bibi Dong said, shocked.
Tang Chen was a renowned figure of his time, and she had heard of his name. Tang Chen was a contemporary of Qian Dao Liu, with both their strength and talent being equally matched.
Tang Chen had disappeared from the Continent for many years, and many thought he had died. However, who would have thought that Tang Chen actually came to Slaughter City to seek the inheritance of the Asura God.
"Lucky for us, Tang Chen didn't succeed," Bibi Dong wrinkled her delicate nose.
She now really wanted to increase her strength; she didn't want to be a burden to Xu Ran any longer.
That feeling of watching Xu Ran get hurt because of her, yet being powerless to help, was too distressing.
If she became the Asura God, she would be able to assist Xu Ran in the future.
The Asura God was a God King level entity.
"Yes. Now it seems the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King has come for us. Perhaps it covets our bodies. The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King can grow stronger by devouring the fresh blood of living beings," Xu Ran said.
"Hmph. We're not some soft persimmons to be squeezed at will. Besides, you are such a powerful soul beast; I don't believe that Bat King would dare lay a hand on you," Bibi Dong swallowed nervously.
After being with Bibi Dong, Xu Ran had disclosed to her his identity as a soul beast.
Bibi Dong's reaction was quite composed. She liked Xu Ran, whether he was human or beast, god or ghost; she would always like him just the same.
"Hmm," Xu Ran chuckled. If someone was courting death, he was naturally obliged to fulfill it.
However, Xu Ran had another idea in mind.

"Bibi Dong, what are you doing here in my Slaughter City?" Tang Chen, dressed in a black robe densely covered with demonic patterns, looked at Bibi Dong with a cold expression. Over the years, Tang Chen's heart had become increasingly evil as he constantly consumed blood.
He looked at Bibi Dong, revealing a sinister smile in his eyes.
In Slaughter City, due to the overabundance of blood from swallowing too much, he had tasted almost all the beautiful women here, yet he rarely encountered one as ravishing as her.
In the past, he wouldn't have done anything to Bibi Dong. Even though he might have had certain thoughts, he would never have acted on them.
Because Bibi Dong was the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, making a move against her was bad for both Slaughter City and himself.
But now he couldn't care less.
The most important thing for him now was to rid himself of the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, and Bibi Dong and that man were on his must-kill list. Since they were going to die anyway, he naturally wanted to have his fun first.
Like Ma Hongjun, who was infected with a wicked fire, Tang Chen too had many disadvantages from being eroded by the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King over a long period.
"Slaughter City isn't yours alone. I am also a Killing God of Slaughter City. I come and go as I please," Bibi Dong said indifferently. She was dressed in a black gown, her voluptuous and mature body wrapped within.
Due to Xu Ran's preferences, Bibi Dong's gown was very tight, stretching the fabric taut over her full breasts and pert buttocks, looking infinitely tempting and desirable.
"Come and go as you please? Heh, but this time, you won't be leaving." Tang Chen said evilly. His gaze fell upon Bibi Dong's delicate body, filled with malevolence.
"However, if you're willing to stay and be my woman, I might consider sparing you."
"The Pope of the Martial Soul Hall, Bibi Dong, is indeed a breathtaking beauty."
Tang Chen let out a chuckle, his voice taking on an evil tone, and it was unclear whether it was the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King or Tang Chen speaking himself. The Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King resided within Tang Chen's body.
This soul beast could dwell in Tang Chen's body, surviving inside as long as it was satiated with fresh blood.
"Shameless."
"What are you, exactly."
Bibi Dong scolded sharply, her pretty face covered in chilliness.
"Oh, could it be that you like that man? He must be your lover," Tang Chen insinuated.
"Who would have thought that even the Pope of the Martial Soul Hall would have a lover, quite the eye-opener. But he won't exist in this world anymore. After I kill him, I'll come for you. Of course, before I kill you, I want to do something. Such beauty, captivating enough to topple cities, and such a ripe figure. There must be very few men in this world who could enjoy the Pope herself, haha," Tang Chen laughed maliciously, his voice repulsive.
Stomping her foot in anger, Bibi Dong clenched her teeth in loathing.
The type of person she hated most was one who was so brazenly lecherous and without shame. In all the world, only Xu Ran's advances pleased her; she found everyone else's utterly repulsive.
She belonged to Xu Ran, and naturally, she would only do certain things with him.
"Don't be angry, leave it to me," Xu Ran said.
"Mm," Bibi Dong nodded obediently, standing aside. With Xu Ran around, she didn't have to worry at all. Xu Ran, who didn't even consider gods a threat—what was the King of Slaughter compared to him?
As for the Blood Red Nine-Headed Bat King, it was insignificant compared to Xu Ran.
Only he knew just how terrifying Xu Ran's status was within the Soul Beast Clan. Xu Ran's identity as a soul beast far outstripped his stature in the human world.
