Chapter 113: She's Not Human!
The next day, in Hu Liena’s bedroom, Bai Yu opened his eyes in a daze, rubbing his still-spinning head.
His eyelids twitched, and he immediately turned his head to look at the other side of the bed, only to find it empty, with only a faint fragrance of a special silk.
Bai Yu gave a wry smile, cursing himself for drinking too much and messing things up. Then, his spirit power surged, completely dispelling his drunkenness, and he used his Water Phase to clean himself up.
“Damn it, when I opened my eyes, I remember seeing the Little Fox, right? How did it suddenly change to someone else?”
“This is troublesome now. Not to mention my cheap teacher, what about Little Angel? Won’t she castrate me with a knife?”
Bai Yu pondered, his face filled with a pained expression.
Actually, Bibi Dong’s last call yesterday had already sobered Bai Yu, but he couldn’t do anything; he was already in!
As the saying goes, since he was already there, it wasn’t appropriate to leave. He had to leave something behind before going…
Bai Yu got up and searched outside for a while, but he didn’t see Bibi Dong’s figure, nor did he see the Little Fox.
“Where are they? Where did they all go? Did they just leave me here alone?”
Then he walked out of Hu Liena’s small courtyard and headed towards the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Just as he reached a spot not far from the Supreme Pontiff Palace, he ran into Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo. Bai Yu raised his hand to greet them, but Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke first.
“Saint Child, good morning. Are you here to see the Pope? But you might not be able to see her.”
“Just now, the Pope’s maid sent a message that the Pope has gone into seclusion. It’s uncertain when she will emerge, but no one is allowed to disturb her. If there’s anything, you should go find the High Priest to preside over it.”
Hearing Chrysanthemum Douluo’s words, Bai Yu’s mouth twitched violently, and he thought to himself:
“This isn’t seclusion at all. This is clearly her hiding because she doesn’t know how to face him!”
“Alright, alright, so she’s putting on clothes and not recognizing people, playing it this way, huh? When I find you, I’ll definitely make you reacquaint yourself with me!”
Then Bai Yu let out a light breath, a smile appearing on his face, and said to Chrysanthemum Douluo:
“So that’s how it is. Since she’s in seclusion, it’s not good for me to disturb my teacher. I didn’t have anything important anyway, just came to take a look.”
“Are both Elders busy now? If not, I also have some free time. How about we go to Elder Ju’s place for a chat?”
Hearing Bai Yu’s words, Chrysanthemum Douluo’s eyes lit up, and his expression immediately became excited.
“Not busy, not busy! Saint Child, come with me. I’ve just researched some new flower teas. Let’s go to my place and try them together!”
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo like this, the Ghost Douluo next to him unconsciously shook his head, thinking to himself that this guy was still the same, unable to move when he saw strange flowers and plants!
However, he didn’t say anything. Although they still had some minor matters to attend to, they weren’t in a hurry. Just admiring flowers and plants wouldn’t take much time.
When the three arrived at Chrysanthemum Douluo’s residence, as soon as the flower tea was brewed and a cup poured for each person, Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn’t help but speak.
“Saint Child, how many Immortal Herbs do you still have? Could you bring them out for me to admire?”
Chrysanthemum Douluo’s question made Bai Yu chuckle slightly, thinking to himself, this Elder Ju really loves flowers like his life. Is he that eager?
“Haha, I do have some, but not many left. Given our relationship, there’s no need to ask ‘could I.’ Elder Ju, feel free to admire them.”
As his voice fell, Bai Yu waved his hand, placing seven boxes of different materials on the table.
Chrysanthemum Douluo’s eyes widened. Although he knew Bai Yu still had Immortal Herbs, he didn’t expect there to be so many. His eyes immediately gleamed as he opened them one by one.
“Dragon Spirit Leaf, Snow Silkworm, Cinnabar Lotus, this is… Fire Jade Vermillion Fruit? And also Primordial Immortal Herb and Phoenix Tail Orchid?”
“This… this is Yearning Heartbroken Red? That’s right, its shape is like a peony, its petals are covered with red lines, as if blood has dripped onto them, and its roots are connected to Obsidian Stone!”
“This is the Immortal Herb among Immortal Herbs, the King of Immortal Herbs, Yearning Heartbroken Red! To be able to see this flower, this old man has no regrets!”
Chrysanthemum Douluo was utterly Excited at this moment, looking at the Yearning Heartbroken Red in his hand, wishing he could jump up and down.
Bai Yu and Ghost Douluo exchanged glances, both smiling, and took a sip of their tea.
Bai Yu had long anticipated Chrysanthemum Douluo’s reaction. After all, Immortal Herb flowers are rarely seen in the human world, and Yearning Heartbroken Red, as the King of Immortal Herbs, only exists in legends.
Afterward, Chrysanthemum Douluo kept making small talk with Bai Yu, trying every possible way to admire the Immortal Herbs for a longer time, until noon when Ghost Douluo finally couldn’t take it anymore.
He spoke up to remind his good buddy that they still had things to do. Only then did Chrysanthemum Douluo reluctantly let Bai Yu put away the Immortal Herbs and allow him to leave.
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief after leaving Chrysanthemum Douluo’s place. After drinking tea all morning, he felt a bit tired.
Although Chrysanthemum Douluo had been talking to him the whole time, he was playing with the Immortal Herbs in his hand and not even looking at him. Chrysanthemum Douluo probably didn’t even realize that his words were completely nonsensical.
Then Bai Yu walked towards the Saint Child Hall, preparing to go see Ah Yin. He hadn’t been back for almost two days, and if he didn’t go soon, she would probably start overthinking.
But when he returned to the Saint Child Hall, he found that he had overthought things. Hu Liena and Ah Yin were sitting together, with snacks laid out in front of them.
He saw the Little Fox pick up a nut and throw it into her mouth, then she spoke with an indignant expression, gesturing wildly from time to time.
Ah Yin listened attentively beside her, sometimes covering her mouth with a light laugh, sometimes nodding in agreement. The scene was quite harmonious!
“What are you two chatting about, so lively? And have you two eaten? If not, shall we go out and grab a bite together?”
As Bai Yu’s voice sounded, Hu Liena and Ah Yin both turned to look at him, their eyes extremely strange.
And Hu Liena was grinding her teeth, looking as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite him.
“Um… Bai Yu, you and Bibi Dong… ? What exactly happened? I heard Nana say that you two last night… ?”
Bai Yu’s mouth twitched, and the expression on his face also became somewhat pained. He thought to himself, Ah Yin, this woman, really knows how to bring up awkward topics!
He didn’t know what to do about this matter now. Pretend it never happened? How could that be possible? Even if Bibi Dong agreed, he couldn’t do that.
Ultimately, this was his fault. If he hadn’t had those little thoughts before, things wouldn’t have escalated to this point. He was caught between a rock and a hard place.
“Don’t even mention it. This matter is going to bother me for a while. Oh, Little Fox, I remember seeing you last night, didn’t I? How did it suddenly change to someone else?”
Hearing Bai Yu bring this up, Hu Liena became even angrier. She directly rushed towards Bai Yu, hung herself on him, and then opened her mouth to bite.
At the same time, muffled words came out of her mouth.
“You bastard junior brother, she tricked me! She’s not human! She sent me away, and by the time I came back, everything was too late!”
