Wasn't Bi Bi Dong trying to kill him?
Then why had she brought him to Star Dou Great Forest?
Having experienced a life-and-death crisis once, Ye Tian no longer dared to casually speculate about Bi Bi Dong's intentions based on conventional logic.
This madwoman perfectly exemplified the saying "a woman's heart is as deep as the ocean." Her mood changed as quickly as flipping a page.
Given this, Ye Tian had no choice but to continue pretending to be unconscious, waiting to observe what would happen next and find an opportunity to escape.
But besides this, Ye Tian had other confusions in his heart.
Was that really just a dream?!
He had experienced two dreams in succession, and it seemed...
In the second dream, he dreamed that after Bi Bi Dong knocked him unconscious, she completely killed him! Gouged out his eyes, severed his limbs... chopped him into pieces and threw him into a pot... turned into bait, cast into the Lotus Pond of Wisteria Residence, and devoured by the pond fish.
Ye Tian even dreamed that afterward, those fish were served at the dining table of Qian Renxue and Jin Yue'er.
It was utterly horrifying.
It was precisely because of this dream that Ye Tian woke up in shock in Bi Bi Dong's arms.
But at this moment... Ye Tian could clearly feel Bi Bi Dong's warmth and softness, as well as her heartbeat and his own.
This made Ye Tian realize he was still a living person!
That was just a dream after all.
What truly made it difficult for Ye Tian to distinguish was his first dream.
In that dream... Bi Bi Dong seemed to have kissed him, and even let down all her defenses. Without any protective gear, she pressed her exquisite, smooth, and curvaceous body right before his eyes.
This dream was so absurd, yet it had a strong connection to the second dream.
Even so... Ye Tian felt an inexplicable sense of reality about this dream.
But according to real-world logic, if this dream were to become reality, he would only meet the same fate as in the second dream, right?
It was this conflict between reality and dream logic that left Ye Tian's mind in disarray.
Yet, in the end, he preferred to believe that those were all just his dreams... That was the most reasonable explanation.
How could Bi Bi Dong possibly kiss him? And let him look at her for free?
Was that even possible?
Forget the age gap. Just seeing the tip of her spear had led to retaliation, and glimpsing her secret realm had nearly gotten him kicked to death.
If he were to learn all her secrets thoroughly, would he even be able to stay alive in this world?
Ye Tian saw things clearly.
Even though the first dream blurred the line between reality and dream, the only thing Ye Tian was certain of was that Bi Bi Dong was not safe!
His life could be ended at any moment by the mad Bi Bi Dong!
He had to take action, even if it meant making sacrifices.
Thinking of this... Ye Tian's mood suddenly grew heavy.
Did he really have to escape?
Would that mean all his investments over the years and recent accumulations would go up in smoke?
Ye Tian had never put much faith in grand vows or oaths. Any emotion, even blood ties, could fade with time... let alone in this world where strength was revered and love-struck minds prevailed.
Besides these concerns, Ye Tian had other worries.
As a Support-type Soul Master, even with items like the Fire Tipped Spear and Palm Thunder, it seemed he couldn't guarantee his own safety, could he?
Not to mention his special Soul Skills... If exposed, he might be imprisoned by certain forces and trained into an obedient human pet that only followed its master's commands.
Ye Tian let out a long, silent sigh in his heart.
In just a short time, he had already thought far too much about the future, yet he still couldn't make up his mind.
It wasn't until a clear yet awkward voice reached his ears from above that Ye Tian suddenly snapped back to reality.
"Awake?"
Bi Bi Dong stared at Ye Tian for a few breaths before finally speaking up to call him out.
The sudden voice made Ye Tian's body jolt, and he could no longer keep his eyes closed or remain silent.
"T-teacher?"
Ye Tian turned his face, which had been buried in the crevice, and opened his obsidian-like eyes to look at Bi Bi Dong, his gaze filled with unconcealed unease.
After dying once more, Ye Tian had undoubtedly become even more attached to life.
Bi Bi Dong felt a slight itch from the friction of Ye Tian's hair and frowned faintly. She simply stared at him, unsure of what to say.
But Ye Tian immediately became alert and did his best to feign confusion naturally.
"Did... did you kick me to death, teacher?"Bi Bi Dong opened her mouth, but upon seeing Ye Tian's poor acting, the apology she wanted to offer got stuck in her throat."
It seemed the shadow of death had left a significant impact on Ye Tian.
Yet Bi Bi Dong remained proud. She couldn't bring herself to yield to Ye Tian, especially not to a hypocritical version of him. It made her feel as though she were begging.
She, Bi Bi Dong, neither needed nor would ever resort to any form of groveling!
Uncomfortably furrowing her brows, she retorted instead, "What do you think?"
"I suppose I must be dead," Ye Tian replied with an awkward chuckle, sounding somewhat sheepish.
Bi Bi Dong's princess carry was really more than he could handle!
"If you wish, I can make it happen for you," Bi Bi Dong's voice was icy cold, a stark contrast to her warm embrace.
But Ye Tian felt all the hairs on his body stand on end.
With just that one sentence from Bi Bi Dong, Ye Tian hastily made a decision in that very moment.
And when Bi Bi Dong saw Ye Tian's frightened-bird demeanor, she couldn't help but feel a twinge of regret.
"Haha!" Ye Tian let out a dry laugh and quickly tried to smooth things over, "Never mind that, I was just joking with you, teacher."
"Is that so..." Bi Bi Dong stared intently at Ye Tian.
Based on her understanding of him, she had a feeling that Ye Tian might be up to something.
Sure enough, just as Bi Bi Dong had anticipated, Ye Tian soon came up with a rather plausible excuse.
"Teacher..." Ye Tian called out softly. Bi Bi Dong remained expressionless as she played along.
"What is it?"
"I... I need to pee," Ye Tian ventured tentatively, his tone questioning.
As soon as the words left his mouth, Bi Bi Dong fixed her gaze on him, giving him a deep, penetrating look.
"Fine."
No sooner had Bi Bi Dong agreed than she bent down without hesitation and set the 'little princess' in her arms down, letting Ye Tian's feet land on the thick tree branch beneath her.
"We're close to the Mixed Zone here. It's not safe to go too far. If you need to pee, do it right here. I'll keep an eye on you."
"!!?"
Ye Tian was baffled, his heart tightening as he awkwardly reminded her, "Um, teacher, I... I'm a boy. Isn't this a bit inappropriate? Heh..."
"Mmm~" Bi Bi Dong responded lightly, then turned around, presenting her back to Ye Tian.
"Now, is it acceptable?"
"..."
A few black lines formed on Ye Tian's forehead. He placed his hand on his waistband, hesitated for a moment, but still didn't give up.
Stammering, he said, "Um, teacher, I misspoke earlier. Actually, I mainly need to take a dump. Peeing is just secondary."
"Oh~"
Bi Bi Dong suddenly understood, a flicker of realization in her eyes.
But soon, her gaze dimmed considerably.
It seemed...
Ye Tian truly intended to leave.
But had he, as her student, ever sought her permission as his teacher?
