In their eyes, there still lingered a trace of doubt about Dai Chengfeng becoming Bibi Dong's disciple.
Perhaps they would ask him privately later?
Only then could they get the most honest answer from Chengfeng…
Thinking this, Zhu Hongxiu and Zhu Hongye nodded and didn't refuse.
Seeing this, Bibi Dong raised her hand and lightly waved. "Chrysanthemum Douluo."
Instantly, Yue Guan's delicate figure emerged silently from the shadows. "Greetings, Your Holiness."
"Chrysanthemum, escort these two to the side hall to rest. Do not be negligent in the slightest."
Chrysanthemum gave a slight bow, his ever-present charming smile gracing his face as he led Zhu Hongxiu and Zhu Hongye away.
The sound of their footsteps gradually faded down the corridor.
Soon, as the palace doors slowly closed, only Dai Chengfeng and Bibi Dong remained in the Pope's Hall.
Bibi Dong didn't speak immediately but instead quietly observed Dai Chengfeng.
After a long while…
Bibi Dong unexpectedly broke into a smile. "You've done well."
Dai Chengfeng naturally understood that Bibi Dong's praise referred to his claim of willingly becoming her disciple.
Thus, Dai Chengfeng smiled. "Thank you for your kind words, Master. These are my true thoughts."
"However, may I ask what matter you wished to discuss with me by keeping me here alone?"
Bibi Dong reclined on the intricately carved Pope's throne, adorned with the emblem of a six-winged angel. One hand supported her cheek, while the other leg was casually crossed.
Her long, pale fingers rhythmically tapped against the armrest. "Chengfeng, Gui Mei mentioned…"
"That you gained enlightenment of the Killing God Domain in Death Canyon?"
Bibi Dong's voice was cold yet carried a hint of curiosity, her tone rising slightly at the end, unexpectedly sultry.
Upon hearing this, Dai Chengfeng nodded.
He had anticipated this question from Bibi Dong even before returning.
He didn't plan to hide anything, including the unique aspects of his Killing God Domain.
After all, the Killing God Domain wasn't his ultimate trump card but rather a tool he used regularly in battle.
Eventually, Bibi Dong would witness his Killing God Domain firsthand.
At that time, she would naturally discern its distinct features.
Therefore, rather than passively concealing the uniqueness of his Killing God Domain, it was better to be upfront about it. This would make Bibi Dong value him more and believe that he trusted her completely.
A win-win situation.
With this thought, Dai Chengfeng performed an elegant and proper disciple's bow. "Master's insight is unparalleled. Indeed, I was fortunate enough to gain enlightenment of the Killing God Domain in Death Canyon."
The next moment, Dai Chengfeng's aura underwent a dramatic change.
His previously gentle and restrained presence receded like a tide, replaced by a bone-chilling coldness akin to a gale blowing from the depths of the underworld, evoking fear in the heart.
The temperature in the Pope's Hall dropped noticeably, and spiderweb-like frost began to form on the ground.
Bibi Dong's pupils contracted slightly, and her body instinctively leaned forward.
Although she had already heard about this from Gui Mei's report, witnessing Dai Chengfeng unleash the Killing God Domain with her own eyes still left her astonished.
After all, she had endured countless near-death experiences in the blood-soaked Slaughter City, teetering on the edge of life and death repeatedly, before finally obtaining the Killing God Domain—an extraordinary power bestowed upon her through Hell's Path.
Every step of her journey had been fraught with hardship.
But this youth, barely over level thirty, had managed to forcibly cultivate the Killing God Domain through sheer, extraordinary talent?
Such potential was a complete subversion of her understanding of the cultivation system.
For a moment, Bibi Dong couldn't help but marvel…
Dai Chengfeng—he truly is a freak!
Fortunately, this disciple was wholeheartedly devoted to her, showing unwavering loyalty.
If he were her enemy, failing to eliminate him would have left her unable to sleep or eat in peace!
However, it wasn't over yet.
Just then, Dai Chengfeng suddenly spoke again. "But Master, my Killing God Domain seems to differ somewhat from what's recorded in books."
"It's… very unique."
"Unique?"
Bibi Dong was puzzled. After all, how could the Killing God Domain be unique?
Gui Mei, being unfamiliar with the Killing God Domain, had assumed that the weapons formed from killing intent that Dai Chengfeng conjured were simply one of the domain's abilities. He hadn't questioned it further.
As for why Bibi Dong herself hadn't demonstrated such abilities?
Perhaps no one was worthy of her doing so.
Thus, when reporting to Bibi Dong, Gui Mei only mentioned that Dai Chengfeng seemed to have gained enlightenment of the Killing God Domain but made no mention of its uniqueness.
Therefore, Bibi Dong was unaware.
Seeing Bibi Dong's surprise, Dai Chengfeng felt a flicker of confusion. Hadn't Gui Mei mentioned it?
If that's the case…
Thinking this, Dai Chengfeng lightly waved his hand. Ripples of crimson spread outward like water waves around him.
At this moment, the Killing God Domain underwent a strange transformation.
From the void, weapons forged from pure killing intent slowly materialized.
There were swords exuding chilling frost, spears piercing through the air, and massive axes radiating destructive energy…
These weapons, formed from killing intent, were not mere illusions but tangible entities exuding a sharp and oppressive aura.
Even the surrounding air was distorted as if sliced apart, testifying to their immense power and terror.
"What is this?"
Bibi Dong abruptly stood up, her eyes filled with shock and confusion as she gazed at Dai Chengfeng's Killing God Domain.
After all, this was completely different from the Killing God Domain she possessed!
In her understanding, the power of the Killing God Domain primarily manifested in overwhelming pressure and mental intimidation. When had she ever seen such vivid, weaponized forms of attack?
This exceeded her imagination entirely.
Could it be that I learned a fake Killing God Domain?
Was I scammed by Slaughter City?
For a moment, Bibi Dong was filled with curiosity and a strong desire to investigate Dai Chengfeng's Killing God Domain.
"How did you achieve this?" Her voice unconsciously rose slightly.
A faint smile curved Dai Chengfeng's lips, though a glimmer of something indiscernible flashed in his eyes.
He summoned a crimson spear, its tip leaving a scorching trail of killing intent in the air. "Do you wish to learn, Master?"
As he spoke, Dai Chengfeng lifted the spear slightly. "If you want to learn, I can teach you, Master!"
His words carried the carefree arrogance of youth, yet they were also incredibly sincere, causing Bibi Dong to feel a sudden surge of fondness.
After all, upon hearing her question, Dai Chengfeng had immediately asked if she wanted to learn, without any attempt to conceal or withhold information…
Indeed, Dai Chengfeng was utterly loyal to her.
Bibi Dong felt a warmth in her heart.
But Dai Chengfeng wasn't thinking the way Bibi Dong imagined.
He was fully aware that Bibi Dong's Killing God Domain was a gift from the Asura God, not something cultivated purely through her own efforts.
This inherent difference ensured that she could never replicate his mastery over the domain.
