Chapter 99: Your Saint Child Position, It Couldn't Have Been Replaced, Right?
Ning Rongrong, upon hearing that Bai Yu was leaving, immediately jumped up. Leaving? How could that be? At the very least, he had to take them with him!
Bai Yu reached out and pinched Ning Rongrong's little face, chuckling softly.
“Haha, of course I’ll be back. It’s not like I’m going back to inherit the Supreme Pontiff’s position. What’s the point of staying in Spirit Hall?”
“It’s just that I haven’t been back for so many years, so I want to go back and see. Also, I still want to do some things and need to make arrangements.”
Ning Rongrong slapped Bai Yu’s hand away, cursing inwardly. This scoundrel either pinched her face or poked her forehead!
Why was it that when it was Zhuqing, it wasn't these two places? You just wait, I'll definitely grow up, and then I'll squeeze your head until it explodes!
“Hmph, then you go back by yourself. Zhuqing and I are going to train. Zhuqing, let’s go. Later, we’ll team up and blow up the perverted tiger and the sissy!”
After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she immediately ran to Zhu Zhuqing's side, looped her arm through hers, and was about to drag her towards the training ground.
She really didn't want to see how Bai Yu and Zhu Zhuqing would say goodbye later. It was too heartbreaking; she couldn't bear it!
Zhu Zhuqing was pulled away by Ning Rongrong and could only turn back to bid farewell to Bai Yu with her eyes, saying with a smile:
“Bai Yu, be careful on your way, and come back soon.”
Bai Yu waved his hand at Zhu Zhuqing, indicating that he understood. After the two walked far away, he cursed again with a smile.
“That little girl Rongrong, it’s like she fell into a vinegar jar. She won’t even let me take advantage of this.”
Ah Yin, who was beside him, also couldn't hold back her laughter and said in a teasing tone:
“I don’t think Rongrong is jealous; rather, the pressure Zhuqing gives her is a bit too much. It will be fine in a few more years.”
Hearing Ah Yin’s words, Bai Yu also laughed out loud. Afterwards, he went to Dugu Mansion to spend a little time with Dugu Yan, then took Ah Yin directly to Spirit City.
...
As evening arrived, Bai Yu and Ah Yin finally reached the gates of Spirit City.
Although they flew quickly, Heaven Dou City was still a bit far from here; it took them a whole day of flying to arrive.
“Is this Spirit City? It’s my first time here. There are so many Spirit Masters!”
Ah Yin walked beside Bai Yu, looking around curiously, a picture of novelty.
And Bai Yu’s eyes showed a hint of nostalgia. He had been gone for five years, and now that he was back, he felt a sense of melancholy at the sight of familiar surroundings.
“It’s normal for there to be many Spirit Masters. Spirit City is the holy land for Spirit Masters. If Spirit Masters were rare here, then the profession of Spirit Master would probably be on the verge of extinction.”
“It’s getting a bit late today. Tomorrow, I’ll have my junior sister take you on a good tour of Spirit City.”
“However, the entertainment venues here are far inferior to Heaven Dou City, so don’t have too much hope. Tonight, you can rest in my Saint Child Hall first.”
Ah Yin shook her head. She wasn’t really interested in shopping. That’s not quite right; it wasn’t that she didn’t like shopping, but rather she lacked a sense of security.
“There’s no need to go shopping, but is it really okay for me to stay in the Saint Child Hall? Will there be any trouble?”
Bai Yu waved his hand, saying indifferently:
“No trouble at all. My position as Saint Child isn’t just for show. You can stay with peace of mind. However, I can’t accompany you tonight; I need to go to my teacher’s place.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Ah Yin softly assented, then her face flushed slightly. She thought of something: if she stayed in the Saint Child Hall, wouldn’t everyone know about their relationship?
“Bai… Bai Yu, isn’t it still inappropriate for me to stay at your place? Our relationship…”
“Your teacher and the others, won’t they object? Or, why don’t you arrange another place for me!”
Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth, his expression a little strange, but he still refuted Ah Yin’s suggestion.
“You should still stay in my Saint Child Hall. Don’t forget that Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo have both seen you.”
“They don’t know about you and me. If you’re discovered and I’m not around, they won’t listen to you.”
“If you’re here, it proves you’re my person, and no one in the entire Spirit Hall will touch you. As for my teacher… you don’t need to worry.”
Hearing Bai Yu say this, Ah Yin no longer objected. She had just recovered and didn't want to be reborn again.
When the two arrived at the Saint Child Hall, before they even entered, they noticed that it was brightly lit, clearly indicating that someone was staying inside.
A strange expression appeared on Ah Yin’s face. She looked at Bai Yu with surprise, teasing him in a low voice.
“Bai Yu, is this the Saint Child Hall? After not returning for so many years, your Saint Child position, it couldn’t have been taken by someone, could it?”
Bai Yu’s mouth twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes at Ah Yin, saying irritably:
“Nonsense. What do you think the Saint Child is? Something that can just be replaced? Even the Supreme Pontiff, if he wants to depose a Saint Child, has to convene an Elder Council, and after approval, it must be announced to the entire continent. It’s very troublesome!”
“Let’s go, let’s go inside and see. It’s probably either my teacher or my childhood sweetheart, my junior sister. No one else would be staying here.”
Then Bai Yu led Ah Yin inside. As soon as he entered, he saw Hu Liena sitting on an armchair in the main hall, her small feet swinging back and forth.
She was holding a book and flipping through it, occasionally snacking on something. It was truly a leisurely sight!
“Heh, little fox, I knew it was you. Good heavens, you visit my Saint Child Hall more often than I do. How about I apply for you to be promoted to Holy Maiden and just move in here!”
The sudden voice startled Hu Liena, causing the snacks in her hand to fall to the ground. When she turned to look, her eyes immediately filled with surprise!
“Junior brother, you’re back! Where have you been all these years? I missed you so much! When you left back then, why didn’t you take me with you? You’re so annoying!”
Hu Liena, seeing her long-awaited junior brother finally reappear, excitedly rushed over and practically hung herself on Bai Yu.
Seeing Hu Liena so happy, Bai Yu also smiled. He raised his hand and patted her soft waist, comforting her:
“Alright, alright, I’m back, aren’t I? Hurry and get down. You’re so old, and you’re still doing this.”
Hearing Bai Yu tell her to get down, Hu Liena twisted her body unwillingly, stubbornly refuting him.
“I won’t, I won’t get down! What if you run off again? Teacher won’t even let me look for you, unless next time you leave, you take me with you!”
Bai Yu chuckled softly, thinking to himself, how did this little fox become more and more of a rogue as she grew older? He then gave her two slaps on her firm behind.
“Alright, stop messing around. I’ll definitely take you next time, now hurry and get down.”
“The news of my return has probably already reached teacher. I need to go to the Supreme Pontiff Palace quickly, otherwise she’ll come looking for me soon.”
Hu Liena, hearing Bai Yu’s words, reluctantly jumped down. At this moment, she felt that being too close to her teacher wasn’t good either; it was really annoying!
“Okay, you have to come back early after seeing teacher, remember, you absolutely must come back, don’t suddenly run off again, even if you do, take me with you… Hmm? Who is she?”
