"Okay, Teacher."
Hu Liena's breakthrough also brought some joy to Jiang Chen's heart.
In the original novel, Hu Liena went to Slaughter City when she was a level 50+ Soul King and even reached the final trial, Hell Road.
Now that she had advanced to the Soul King realm, going to Slaughter City should be no problem.
Moreover, after a month of combat training, Hu Liena's fighting ability without using soul skills had greatly improved.
During this month, Hu Liena hadn't come to tease Jiang Chen even once. The training was simply too exhausting, leaving her with no energy for that.
Back at the dormitory, Hu Liena took a bath and fell straight into bed to sleep.
Jiang Chen, on the other hand, was cultivating on the rooftop outside.
That level of training intensity was very strong for Hu Liena, but for Jiang Chen's monstrous physique, it was only average.
...
Hu Liena was gone for four full days. When she returned with Bibi Dong, she had already upgraded to the Soul King realm.
Her fifth soul ring was also a black ten-thousand-year soul ring.
"Go back and prepare. You and Little Chen will likely spend several years inside there," Bibi Dong said.
Hu Liena was startled. To think it would take several years to get out meant this trial was incredibly difficult.
"Understood, Teacher," Hu Liena replied.
After returning to the dormitory, she directly pulled Jiang Chen, who was sleeping on the bed taking a nap, up.
"Senior Sister, you're back," Jiang Chen said, rubbing his eyes.
"Hey, slow down! Where are you dragging me to?"
Hu Liena didn't turn her head as she replied, "Teacher said we might spend several years inside Slaughter City, so we should first buy enough daily necessities for several years."
"Makes sense," Jiang Chen nodded and followed Hu Liena out onto the main street.
To Jiang Chen's considerable speechlessness, Hu Liena even went to buy rouge, face powder, and those kinds of things.
In Slaughter City, who would she dress up for?
Hu Liena completely ignored his speechless expression and bought large quantities of each item.
Jiang Chen even saw many things similar to the "aunt gold" from his previous life.
"Let's go, we'll buy several hundred sets of clothes next."
Jiang Chen actually agreed with this; clothes were very important when away from home.
Battles between soul masters were extremely dangerous; one moment of carelessness and your clothes could be gone.
The pocket money Bibi Dong had given them was quite generous. The two of them didn't need to worry about not having enough to spend.
In the end, they shopped through more than half of Martial Soul City before finally preparing everything they needed.
...
The next morning, Bibi Dong led her two disciples out through a secret passage.
The three of them did not take a carriage. They headed north, and on the evening of the fifth day, they arrived at a strange small town.
The town didn't look very big, but the people in it all appeared somewhat odd.
Jiang Chen frowned. There weren't many pedestrians on the streets, yet the total population of the town was quite large.
Among the people he encountered, every single one exuded killing intent—some strong, some faint.
By this time, Bibi Dong was fully cloaked in a black robe, with a black face veil covering her face.
Hu Liena's face was also covered with a veil. Otherwise, with the calamity-level beauty of the two of them, they would immediately cause a commotion in this eerie town.
Hu Liena felt somewhat nervous. There were many strong experts in this town. Although her face was hidden, her proud figure still attracted wolf-like gazes.
If it weren't for the extremely cold and terrifying aura emanating from Bibi Dong, those people would probably have rushed over already.
Just in this small town outside Slaughter City, Jiang Chen already sensed a trace of cruelty.
Bibi Dong led the two into the most luxurious-looking hotel in the town.
"Give me one room, and three Bloody Marys," Bibi Dong's cold voice rang out, causing the front desk clerk to tremble, his back turning cold.
He didn't dare delay and quickly took out a set of keys. "Your room is 303. That's three silver soul coins in total. Would you like the Bloody Marys served here or delivered to your room?"
Bibi Dong tossed three silver soul coins onto the counter. "Deliver them to the room."
With that, she turned and headed upstairs. Jiang Chen and Hu Liena quickly followed.
The clerk wiped the sweat from his forehead and let out a long breath of relief. The pressure that woman had given him was simply too great—he had almost been unable to breathe.
"Teacher, what is Bloody Mary?" Hu Liena couldn't help asking.
"You'll know in a moment," Bibi Dong replied.
"Senior Sister, you're definitely not going to like it," Jiang Chen said, which only made Hu Liena even more curious.
Earlier, Jiang Chen had scanned the lobby and seen many people holding cups of scarlet liquid. With just a slight sniff, he knew it was the smell of human blood.
However, much of the spiritual energy in it had already dissipated. To Jiang Chen, it was just a cup of waste blood.
They opened the room and walked in.
The room was quite large, with a big bed on each side, left and right. In the center was a table, and behind the table, against the wall, was a sofa.
In the right corner of the room was a small, separate room, a bathroom.
They had barely stepped inside when someone delivered the Bloody Marys.
After setting the Bloody Marys down, the clerk retreated.
Hu Liena curiously looked at the three cups of scarlet liquid on the table and brought her nose close to sniff one.
The pungent bloody smell hit her, making Hu Liena frown.
"Teacher, what kind of blood is this? Why did we order it?" she couldn't help asking.
Bibi Dong pulled down the hood of her robe, removed her face veil, picked up the red liquid, and drank it down.
After a moment, she set the cup down and looked at Jiang Chen and Hu Liena. "You two drink it too. I'll explain after you've finished."
Hu Liena's beautiful, big eyes were already filled with shock. Her teacher had actually drunk a cup of blood and was now asking her to do the same.
Jiang Chen picked up his cup. "Senior Sister, don't be afraid. I'll drink with you."
Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then also picked up her cup.
She had killed many people and soul beasts before, so she wasn't afraid of blood; it was just that drinking it felt disgusting.
Jiang Chen gave a slight smile, raised his cup, and drank it down.
Although this Bloody Mary wasn't very fresh anymore, to him it still tasted somewhat sweet.
Seeing this, Hu Liena frowned and drank it down as well.
The liquid was somewhat salty, with a bit of sourness. The intense, bloody smell filled her taste buds and sense of smell.
Hu Liena forcefully suppressed the urge to vomit and gulped the cup of blood down.
"Teacher, why did you make us drink this?" Hu Liena's brows were almost knitted into a knot. That disgusting taste still lingered in her mouth and refused to dissipate.
Bibi Dong looked at her and said calmly, "This is a cup of human blood."
"What?" Hu Liena's face instantly changed dramatically.
"Ugh..." Her stomach churned violently. In a flash, she rushed to the bathroom and vomited forcefully.
Bibi Dong looked at Jiang Chen in surprise, seeing his completely calm expression. "Little Chen, you don't feel anything?"
Jiang Chen replied, "Teacher, you know my martial soul has blood-sucking abilities. Actually, this isn't the first time I've drunk human blood."
Bibi Dong nodded, recalling Jiang Chen's evil martial soul, and didn't ask further.
"Your true strength now is no weaker than your senior sister's. Once you're inside Slaughter City, you must protect your senior sister well, understand?"
"Understood, Teacher. Anyone who wants to harm my senior sister will have to step over my corpse first."
Hu Liena, who had just finished vomiting and come out, heard Jiang Chen's words and felt a warmth in her heart.
