"..."
The air fell silent, even the wind grew still.
Bi Bi Dong offered no response, her phoenix-like eyes shooting out cold gleams.
The entire forest seemed to only retain the sporadic sounds of Spirit Beasts stepping on withered branches and fallen leaves.
Watching Bi Bi Dong's indifferent back, Ye Tian couldn't help but grow nervous and softly called out, "Teacher, are you listening?"
"Hmm."
Bi Bi Dong responded swiftly, yet still didn't move her feet. She slowly turned her head, gazing at Ye Tian and said indifferently, "What's the big difference between big and small? It can be resolved right here—why complicate simple matters?"
"Uh, this—"
Ye Tian stared at Bi Bi Dong in astonishment.
He needed to take a shit! Could Bi Bi Dong really stand guard here? Was she having another episode or something?!
But the more abnormal Bi Bi Dong seemed, the more Ye Tian felt his safety was precarious.
Lowering his gaze to his feet, he noted the tree trunk was at least five meters above the ground. He didn't even dare to imagine the scene of free-flying defecation.
Thus, Ye Tian's face quite reasonably showed a trace of distress—this was entirely his genuine feeling.
After all, the situation Ye Tian found himself in was truly uncomfortable and perplexing.
Forcing a sheepish smile onto his face, he said, "Teacher, look, standing this high is really hard for me to accept. What if someone looks up and sees, gets annoyed, and decides to attack me?"
"Are you sure you want to go further away?" Bi Bi Dong asked softly, staring at Ye Tian with a hint of warning in her tone.
Her question seemed like one inquiry, but in reality, it contained two.
Ye Tian had no idea that Bi Bi Dong had already discerned his next move.
Feeling as if granted a pardon, he nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes! It's better to go a bit farther, so as not to pollute the air around you, Teacher. Don't worry, I'll be quick—it won't take long."
Ye Tian added with a smile, his face full of pleading as he looked at Bi Bi Dong.
"..."
Bi Bi Dong didn't speak, turning the back of her head toward Ye Tian once more.
In the direction he couldn't see, a hidden fury and ruthlessness flashed deep within Bi Bi Dong's eyes.
She casually raised her hand and waved, saying meaningfully, "Since you insist on going farther, then go. Remember not to go too far, and come back quickly."
"Thank you, Teacher! I promise to finish swiftly!" Overjoyed, Ye Tian didn't forget to remind Bi Bi Dong, "Teacher, please don't look back. If you see anything, this disciple won't take responsibility!"
With those words, before Bi Bi Dong could respond, Ye Tian grabbed his waistband and leaped down toward the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest.
After rolling twice on the ground to disperse the impact, he swiftly dove into the bushes and quickly concealed himself.
"Heh..." Bi Bi Dong stood on the tree trunk, letting out a soft, cold laugh, unable to suppress her rising anger.
Responsibility?
If they were to be strict about it, she hadn't even demanded that Ye Tian take responsibility—wasn't that generous enough?!
But thinking of that matter, Bi Bi Dong's expression quickly darkened with malice.
If they were to be strict, it seemed she had no right to demand responsibility from anyone.
Buzz—!
Just as Ye Tian plunged into the bushes, two yellow, two purple, and four black—eight Spirit Rings—flashed briefly beneath Bi Bi Dong's feet.
A dark glow erupted.
Bi Bi Dong's body trembled violently twice, as if a gust of yin wind surged from within her, blowing toward the direction Ye Tian had departed.
Yet Bi Bi Dong remained standing on the thick tree trunk, completely motionless.
"Hmph, you can't escape!"
Her voice was icy, her pretty face filled with cruelty.
She didn't understand why.
Upon learning Ye Tian intended to leave, she couldn't suppress the raging fury that welled up inside her!
She clearly despised this disciple.
But now—
Bi Bi Dong didn't want to waste time delving into the reasons!
She believed in herself,
possessing absolute strength to bind Ye Tian by her side forever!
Earlier,
she had already given Ye Tian two chances.
From now on,
whether Ye Tian was aware or not, he only had one final choice!
To become her disciple—
to give her a chance to mend their relationship, fostering harmony between master and disciple.
Or to become her caged bird—
never seeing the light of day again,
until death, regardless of Ye Tian's willingness.
Even if only the Pill Fragrance remained of his corpse, Bi Bi Dong would make him accompany her eternally!
"Ye Tian~"
"I hope you don't choose the latter... otherwise I fear I might not be able to restrain myself."
Bi Bi Dong's dreamy voice suddenly stilled,
and she couldn't help but frown.
The foul odor wafting from behind made the veins on her forehead bulge.
Even without turning to look at Ye Tian,
his actions hadn't escaped her notice!
That wretched scoundrel!
If he couldn't defecate, fine—but to manually create feces just to disgust her?
Utterly despicable!
"Ugh..."
Bi Bi Dong couldn't suppress a dry heave, yet she stubbornly remained in place, her face ashen.
——
In the bushes.
After diving in, Ye Tian quickly crouched down, completely unaware of the massive Soul Power that had surged and then subsided within Bi Bi Dong.
He retreated slowly like a crab, his obsidian eyes fixed intently on Bi Bi Dong's back.
Simultaneously,
he methodically retrieved various bottles and jars from his Soul Guidance Device.
His chemistry wasn't exceptional,
but it was just sufficient.
Once, by sheer coincidence,
he had concocted some foul-smelling thiol compounds in a laboratory beaker—
intensely pungent and highly volatile.
It had driven his entire class away.
Now,
Ye Tian was equally confident.
This odor enhancer would surely drive the cleanliness-obsessed Bi Bi Dong miles away!
The faint clinking of bottles and jars
echoed within the bushes.
Ye Tian wasn't worried about Bi Bi Dong using her spiritual sense to spy.
Spy on what? Him defecating?
How absurd!
Yet,
Ye Tian had underestimated just how absurd Bi Bi Dong could be.
He remained completely unaware
that a pair of eyes high above him had already begun to furrow slowly.
Before long,
as Ye Tian brought out strong alcohol, lit a small flame, and accelerated the evaporation,
a concentrated, aged garlic-like odor erupted within the bushes, spreading in all directions.
"Ugh!"
Just as Bi Bi Dong let out a dry heave,
a similar sound escaped Ye Tian in the bushes.
His face turned ashen.
Hurriedly, Ye Tian set down his makeshift alcohol lamp and fan, plucked two tender Blue Silver seedlings, and stuffed them into his nostrils.
"Ugh~"
No sooner had he plugged them than he nearly vomited.
"My skills haven't rusted—this is potent!"
"Damn!"
Ye Tian continuously fanned the air, cursing under his breath, his dark eyes beginning to bloodshot
as he stared fixedly at Bi Bi Dong's retreating figure.
His heart kept urging for Bi Bi Dong to reach her limit soon and leave quickly!
"Roar—"
Angry roars echoed one after another.
Passing Spirit Beasts fled in panic, some even crashing their snouts into tree trunks.
The stench was truly unbearable!
"Excellent!"
Finally, Ye Tian couldn't hold back a suppressed cheer.
Under his watchful gaze,
Bi Bi Dong ultimately succumbed to the foul odor and leaped to her feet.
