--- Chapter 15 ---

"Huh, Nightmare?" The assassin said with a frown while staring at the unknown woman in front of him. ​​

Bibi Dongxue is releasing a chill aura from her body as she asked, "Are you the one who made that explosion a few seconds ago."

"Yes, I am, do you have a problem with that!" The assassin responded as he swung off his hand and launched powerful combustion of fire.

*Boom!*

The combustion produced an explosion, which almost hit Bibi Dongxue, who's calmly staring at the incoming attack.

"Yes, I do have a problem with you." Bibi Dongxue suddenly said while pursing her lips and formed a cold smile on her face.

"Because you dare to interrupt my time with Yunlong!" She coldly added, which makes the assassin shivering.

Bibi Dongxue slapped the assassin's hand, which makes the explosion directed at the skies while her's silhouette disappeared from the assassin's eyes.

*Bam!*

*Cough!*

The assassin feels severe pain in his stomach before he coughed a mouthful of blood as Bibi Dongxue's severely kicked his stomach with her leg.

He is about to kneel on the ground, but before he could even bend his body, Bibi Dongxue already launched another kick to his head.

*Bam!*

"Devil Spider Summoning..." Bibi Dongxue's cold voice came into his

Dark green light halos spread out from beneath the Bibi Dongxue's feet, which overlapped and created deep purple light spread across the area.

The deep purple light seems to move before turning into a bunch of half-meter, dark green poison spiders crawling toward the assassin.

"Arrrggh, what is this... Save me!" The assassin shouted as the dark green poison spiders covered his body.

'Torture him...' Bibi Dongxue coldly instructed as she shifted her gaze to the remaining assassin, who stared at her with a pale face.

The rest of the assassins are shaking in fear as they feel Bibi Dongxue's eyes are staring at them.

"T-There should be a misunderstanding between us." One of the assassins said while trying not to provoke Bibi Dongxue.

"W-We can still negotiate this in peace." He added, which makes Bibi Dongxue frowned.

"Misunderstanding?" Bibi Dongxue said as she tilted her head.

"There is no misunderstanding between us because what I know is your group is interrupting my time with my precious son!" She added before raising her right hand and formed a shadow of a giant black spider behind her.

"Soul Devouring Lances..." Bibi Dongxue's cold voice echoed in the area like a voice of death reaper as the giant spider raised its lance-like legs toward the assassin.

The assassins want to dodge this attack, but they suddenly realized that they couldn't move their body.

*BOOM!* *CRACKS!*

The spider's legs fall toward them and creating a powerful crack on the ground as a cloud of dust flying afterward.

'This is Bibi Dong, who is cunning and ruthless, huh.' Yunlong commented with a weak smile as he feels a little bad for these assassins.

'Well, she's still my beloved and beautiful mother, though.' He added in his heart while shrugging off his shoulder.

[Objective: Kill The Assassins (0/5)]

"Mother didn't kill them. That was weird..." Yunlong said as he walked toward his mother.

"You didn't kill them?" He asked his mother, to which Bibi Dongxue responded with a nod.

"We should get information from them first before we killed them." Bibi Donggxue calmly replied as she feels a lot better after beating these assassins.

"Who are you?!" The little girl shouted at them.

She's warily staring at Yunlong and Bibi Dongxue while her body is trembling in fear, but she's hardened her will to protect her mother.

'Her eyes is kind of similiar to Renxue...' Bibi Dongxue thought while staring at the little girl's eyes.

'Hmm... I don't remember any character in the story. Who is similar to her?' Yunlong thought while staring at the girl.

The little girl is around six or seven years old, and she had long black hair with a pale white face and a pair of brilliant yellow eyes.

(An: She looks like little Kotegawa Yui, except for her yellow eyes, and her fighting style based on Uesugi Kenshin from Basara)

"Do you want me to save your mother..." Yunlong suddenly said while staring at the little girl in front of him.

"I don't trust you." The girl replied as she pointed her sword at him.

"You know that your mother injured, but you want to fight me?" Yunlong tilted his head as he appeared in front of her.

"Divine Slash." The little girl said as she instantly entered Iai's stance and did a sword stroke to him.

'Fast! But not fast enough.' Yunlong commented as he took Dawn Breaker from his inventory and used its sheath to defend on the incoming attack.

*Clank!*

"H-How..." The little girl's eyes widened in shock.

"Well, It's because I'm better than you," Yunlong replied as he deflected the little girl's sword and pointed his sheathed katana on her throat.

Bibi Dongxue nodded her head when she heard Yunlong's word before she shifted her gaze to the little girl.

'She had a good stance for six years old girl...' Bibi Dongxue commented as she saw a yellow spirit ring emerging from the little girl's sword.

'Ohh?! She's a spirit master!' She added in her heart with a little surprise.

"Well, I don't want to make this complicated," Yunlong said as he appeared behind the little girl and attacked her back neck, which makes her feels dizzy.

"Mother..." The little girl said before fainted and fell into Yunlong's hands.

Yunlong placed the little girl beside her mother, who looks like the adult version of her.

'There are a few cut wounds on her body.' Yunlong thought as she checked the little girl's mother's condition.

"White Light Grace..." Yunlong muttered as a faint white light appeared from his hand and fall into the woman's body, which makes her body shone with white luster as all her wound's recovered at a fast speed.

"Done... Now, I only have to handle those assassins." Yunlong added as he shifted his gaze to the back and found her mother standing beside the pile of the assassin's body.

"Uh, Mother? Don't you said we have to interrogate them first?" Yunlong asked his mother.

"Yes, I did say that," Bibi Dongxue replied while nodding her head.

"Then, why are them on the verge of dying?" Yunlong said with a wry smile as he could feel these assassins almost died.

"Well, I already did the interrogation; to be precise, my spiders already do the interrogation." Bibi Dongxue stated with a smile on her face.

"My spider could do a soul search on their prey, which search a valuable information in their head for me." She added, which makes Yunlong's mouth twitched.

"I see..." Yunlong sighed and walked toward the assassin as he unsheathed his katana.

"Yunlong, you..." Bibi Dongxue said while staring at her son.

"I'm just putting them out of their misery," Yunlong responded with a smile as he killed the assassin with his katana.

"Okay..." Bibi Dongxue nodded her head while calmly at her son's slaying.
