Chapter 109: Victims Everywhere!
After Chrysanthemum Douluo finished speaking, Bai Yu nodded slightly and responded with a smile:
"Alright then, you two should head back first. As for visiting your place, of course I'll go. Your preferences are well-known throughout Spirit Hall."
"When the time comes, I'll bring out the Immortal Herb I have for Elder Ju to admire. *cough*, but that medicine you concocted… could you make some more for me?"
Chrysanthemum Douluo was initially full of smiles, but upon hearing the latter half of Bai Yu's words, his face immediately turned green, and his head shook like a rattle-drum.
Make more for you? If I make more, will I even be able to live? Even if you talk until the sky falls today, it's impossible!
"No! Impossible! Saint Child Hall, please don't come. Your Immortal Herb is too precious; this old man cannot afford to admire it!"
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo react as if his tail had been stepped on, Bai Yu couldn't help but laugh, waving his hand and saying:
"Elder Ju, don't be anxious; I was just joking. Don't take it seriously. With my current strength, I won't need those things to leave."
Only then did Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression improve considerably. Thinking about it, it was true; if he was already so strong, who could stop him from leaving?
"*Cough*, Saint Child, don't blame this old man for not agreeing to you. It's just that what you did before really put me in a bind!"
"Since that's the case, this old man and Old Ghost will leave first. See you, Saint Child Hall."
As his voice fell, Chrysanthemum Douluo called out to Ghost Douluo. Ghost Douluo nodded at Bai Yu, then turned and followed his good friend, soaring into the air.
After Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo disappeared, Bai Yu turned to look at the four people behind him, chuckling softly.
"Alright, everyone else has left. Let's go too. When we get back, we'll prepare some food and drinks, and we can catch up properly."
"Xie Yue, Yan, I heard that you two and Nana, the three of you, have earned the reputation of Spirit Hall's Golden Generation? Not bad at all!"
Xie Yue and Yan, hearing Bai Yu mention the Golden Generation, both twitched their mouths, their faces flushed, their toes curling in embarrassment.
Originally, they were quite satisfied with the title of Golden Generation, until they witnessed Bai Yu's strength today.
It made them feel that this title was truly cringe-worthy.
They were clearly around the same age, but Bai Yu was already on par with Title Douluo, while they were still comparing themselves to their peers, already falling behind!
"Bai Yu, stop talking, you're making me want to crawl into a hole. I was a little smug before, but seeing your strength today truly makes one despair!"
Xie Yue's face was full of bitter smiles; Bai Yu's strength was a bit too much of a blow to him.
He knew there was a gap between him and Bai Yu, but it shouldn't be this big, right? He couldn't accept it!
Bai Yu grinned, raised his hand and punched Xie Yue in the chest, then stepped between Xie Yue and Yan, putting his arms around their shoulders.
"Tsk tsk, look at you two, acting as if I threw your children into a river. Isn't it good that I'm stronger?"
"Your current appearance perfectly illustrates a saying I told you before: You fear your brother living a hard life, but you fear him even more becoming a ruler!"
"Besides, my true spirit power isn't as strong as you think; it's only about ten levels higher than yours. Didn't you see that my Spirit only has seven spirit rings?"
"Being able to exert Title Douluo strength is entirely due to the power of law that the High Priest mentioned. So don't be disheartened; maybe one day, one of you will comprehend it."
Bai Yu's comfort didn't work, but his joke was very effective, successfully making the two of them laugh, and their moods improved considerably.
Thinking about their expressions just now, they really did align with Bai Yu's joke: fearing your brother living a hard life, but fearing him even more becoming a ruler!
Yan raised his hand and punched Bai Yu, laughing and scolding:
"You scoundrel, you're taking advantage and still acting innocent! What do you mean 'only about ten levels'? How much higher do you want to be?"
"Besides, are your spirit rings normal? Good heavens, a hundred-thousand-year seventh ring? You're truly inhumane!"
"And your power of law, as the High Priest said, it should be related to Divinity, right? And us comprehending it someday? Comprehending nothing! We treat you as a brother, and you treat us like dogs to tease?"
Yan had also come to terms with it by now. If Bai Yu was strong, then he was strong; it didn't matter. If this scoundrel was stronger, he himself could also enjoy the benefits, couldn't he?
Didn't they see that even the High Priest personally encouraged them earlier? Whose face was that for? It must have been Bai Yu's!
Otherwise, how could the names of the three of them, who weren't even Spirit Saints, reach the ears of the High Priest, who no longer concerned himself with worldly affairs? Don't be ridiculous.
As for his goddess, Hu Liena… there was nothing he could do. He still had to fawn over her. Although he had already given up in his heart, he couldn't control himself!
As long as these two hadn't confirmed their relationship, even if a Divinity descended, he would continue to fawn! He truly couldn't control himself!
Bai Yu didn't know Yan's current mental activity, otherwise, he would definitely pat him on the shoulder and tell him that a simp wouldn't get anywhere. With that look, even a cuckold would call you Big Brother!
"Alright, stop joking around. Let's go, brothers, I'll take you back for a drink. As the saying goes, one drunk can relieve a thousand sorrows. Drink enough, and the whole continent is yours!"
Xie Yue, on the other side, chuckled when he heard Bai Yu's words, remembering when they used to secretly drink, and Yan's drunken antics.
What 'Lord of the Continent,' what 'Flame King's name spreading throughout the world'—anyway, it was quite something. He and Bai Yu both laughed until they were under the table.
Yan was already red to the point of purple all over, feeling that there was no place for him on the continent. He wanted to move to another continent!
Then he started gesticulating wildly, muttering incomprehensible things like 'what happens when drunk doesn't count' and 'who hasn't been drunk before.'
After the three of them settled down, Bai Yu turned and called out to Spirit Vulture Douluo and Hu Liena. The five of them then slowly began to walk towards Spirit City.
Spirit Vulture Douluo, who had been watching the show from the side, quickened her steps and came to Bai Yu's side, looking at him with a resentful expression.
"Little Yu, Elder Ju said you put him in a bind, and I don't know what happened, but you definitely put me in a bind!"
"I was arranged by both your teacher and the Elder Palace to be your protector. How could you leave without notifying me?"
"Do you know, when I received the news that you had suddenly disappeared, it felt like the sky had fallen! Thankfully, you never stopped sending letters later, otherwise I would have had to commit suicide to atone for my failure."
Looking at Spirit Vulture Douluo's tearful expression, although he knew a large part of it was feigned, Bai Yu couldn't help but swallow.
His scalp felt a little numb, and he cursed inwardly, *Why are there so many victims as soon as I return? Are they not letting me live?*
However, he also knew that what he did was not right, but it was still the same point: if he had told Spirit Vulture Douluo, he wouldn't have been able to escape.
Moreover, he occasionally sent letters back, partly because of her. After all, if Bai Yu had completely disappeared, Spirit Vulture Douluo would truly have suffered.
"*Cough*, there was no other way. You know the situation at the time; I could only resort to that. But I truly am sorry. Just tell me what conditions you have, and I promise to agree!"
