If one were to calculate, this little brat before her was the son of her "benefactor," Tang Hao.
Because of Tang Hao's actions back then, he had unwittingly helped Bibi Dong immensely. Without him, she would never have been able to kill Qian Xunji.
"Little one, would you like to hear a story?"
Bibi Dong glanced at Li Si, kicked the unconscious Yu Xiaogang aside, and sat gracefully across from him.
Her posture was elegant, leaving no room for criticism.
"If I listen to your story, does that mean you won't kill me?"
Li Si's confusion grew. What was Bibi Dong trying to do?
She had knocked out Yu Xiaogang and now wanted to tell him a story.
This scene eerily reminded him of certain "educational materials" he had left in his desk drawer before transmigrating.
Li Si quickly shook his head, banishing the strange thoughts from his mind.
Bibi Dong chuckled softly, shaking her head.
"If you don't listen, you'll die for sure."
From Li Si's earlier conversation with Yu Xiaogang, Bibi Dong had noticed that this boy knew many things—some even she wasn't aware of.
Her interest in Li Si had grown considerably.
Li Si's lips twitched. Did he have any choice in the matter?
"You seem to know who I am, judging by the look on your face."
"And while you're a bit surprised, your emotions don't show much fluctuation."
Bibi Dong continued speaking to herself.
Li Si felt numb. Is this the caliber of a peak powerhouse in the Douluo Continent?
Even without saying anything, his thoughts were nearly laid bare before her.
Unable to hold back, he muttered,
"How could someone as smart as you have been fooled by that piece of trash?"
As he spoke, Li Si gestured toward the unconscious Yu Xiaogang.
Bibi Dong froze, her beautiful eyes narrowing, her delicate hand trembling slightly as it rested on her thigh.
This brat really knows how to press the wrong buttons!
How could she possibly explain why she had fallen for him back then?
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes today, she wouldn't have believed that her past feelings had been nothing but a lie.
Bibi Dong shot a glare at Li Si, tempted to beat him up.
Taking a deep breath, she finally managed to calm herself. Still, her emotions were incredibly mixed.
"Shut up!"
"All you need to do is listen!"
"Why are you so bossy… Fine, fine, I'll shut up."
Li Si saw the faint red glow in her eyes and decided to back down for the sake of survival.
This wasn't cowardice—just good sense.
Satisfied, Bibi Dong nodded and began recounting her story.
Time passed.
By the time Bibi Dong finished, Li Si was nearly falling asleep. She had shared only a rough outline of her past, not every detail.
When she looked at Li Si and saw him staring blankly back at her, seemingly "unmoved," she became irritated.
The reason she had told him so much was that she wanted someone to understand her—a new source of emotional support.
For someone undergoing the trials of the Rakshasa God, having an emotional anchor was essential. Once, her support had been Yu Xiaogang. But today, that anchor had shattered.
If she couldn't find a new one, she feared she might lose control and succumb to the godly power of slaughter that now resided within her.
Without such a tether, she might kill and kill endlessly—without reason or purpose.
"Say something!"
"Weren't you the one who told me to shut up?"
Li Si's tone was one of grievance. Dealing with this Pope is exhausting!
He thought bitterly of his transmigration rival, Lin Fan, who was surrounded by beautiful women and lived a carefree life. Lin Fan even had the chance to become the Crown Prince of the Star Luo Empire if he so chose.
And what about him?
"Suffering! Nothing but suffering!"
Li Si almost wanted to cry. He vowed to himself that if given another chance, he would never let Lin Fan enjoy life so comfortably.
Bibi Dong massaged her temples, her lips twitching.
Well, she had told him to shut up, after all.
After scrutinizing Li Si for a moment, Bibi Dong sighed and shook her head.
"Never mind. Looks like I'll just have to settle with you."
With that thought, she rose gracefully to her feet.
"Little one, if you dare speak a word of this to anyone…"
"You've seen how tight-lipped I am," Li Si interrupted, spreading his hands.
Bibi Dong rolled her eyes at him. Then, as if remembering something, her expression turned cold.
"Good. Since that's the case, I'll give you a gift."
As she spoke, Bibi Dong extended her hand, and a black-gray aura lifted the unconscious Yu Xiaogang into the air.
Li Si blinked, unsure of her intentions.
In no time, strands of golden energy began to seep from Yu Xiaogang's body, coalescing into a shimmering orb of golden light.
"This is the source power of Yu Xiaogang's Martial Soul. It's yours now."
Hearing this, Li Si froze in shock.
"The source power of his Martial Soul?"
His eyes widened as realization dawned.
"This is the source power of the Golden Holy Dragon! Rare as it is, its quality is unparalleled!"
He glanced at Bibi Dong, astonished.
She can extract someone's Martial Soul source?
After a moment's thought, it made sense.
Bibi Dong's Martial Souls, the Death Spider Emperor and the Soul-Devouring Spider Emperor, allowed her to devour the source power of others.
This was how she had absorbed the Six-Winged Angel's source power from Qian Xunji, which had catapulted her strength to new heights.
Given her current power, extracting the source of a mere Rank-29 Soul Grandmaster's Martial Soul was effortless.
"The process of fusing soul rings with a second Martial Soul depends on one's physical and mental strength," Bibi Dong explained.
"The bloodline of the Golden Holy Dragon will nurture your body, strengthening you over time. Though small in quantity, its quality is unmatched.
"When you reach Rank-90, the issue of fusing soul rings with your second Martial Soul will naturally resolve itself."
With that, she casually tossed the orb of golden light to Li Si.
Within moments, the golden source fused into Li Si's body.
After the fusion, Li Si scratched his head. He didn't feel much of a difference.
It was probably because the energy was so minimal that its effects wouldn't be noticeable until later.
"Why are you being so kind to me?"
Li Si asked, puzzled.
First, she gave him the Golden Holy Dragon's source power. Then, she shared the secrets of twin Martial Souls. Why?
