Chapter 117: Is Hiding Your Head Safe?
Bai Yu didn't notice Hu Liena and Ah Yin winking at each other, nor did he care about Ah Yin's teasing.
After such a long time, his skin had already grown thicker than a city wall. They were all his own people, so it didn't matter if they laughed!
He then stepped to the table, picked up a bun, and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbling a review as he ate.
"This chef hasn't come up with anything new after all these years. I was the one who taught him how to make these zucchini and egg buns."
"What are you two doing over there? Why the eye contact? Come over and eat. The buns will get cold soon."
Ah Yin and Hu Liena paused, turned to look at Bai Yu, and collectively rolled their eyes at him, secretly cursing him as a scoundrel who didn't understand women at all.
However, they didn't intend to argue with Bai Yu about it. Discussing women's topics with him would truly be a waste of effort.
"Bai Yu, do you have anything to do later? If not, why don't you explore Spirit Hall with us?"
"Yesterday, I promised Sister Ah Yin that I'd show her around Spirit Hall. Do you want to come along?"
As soon as Ah Yin and Hu Liena sat down at the table, Hu Liena invited Bai Yu, wanting him to accompany them for a stroll.
But before Hu Liena could finish, Bai Yu's eyelids began to twitch, and a bad premonition arose.
He then secretly thought that his guess was indeed correct. Exploring was not much different from shopping, so he absolutely couldn't go!
"You two go ahead and explore. I won't go. Our Pope, I don't know where she's hiding. I need to go find her. This matter needs to be resolved."
"Besides, what's so great about Spirit Hall? It's just a central mountain with a few buildings on it. With that time, it's more comfortable to stay at home for a while."
After hearing Bai Yu, Hu Liena gnashed her teeth, wishing she could bite him directly.
"Hmph, if you don't want to go, then don't go. Why make excuses? Don't I know you? Ever since you were little, whenever you heard about shopping or sightseeing, you'd wish you could hide in your room and not come out."
"If you're not coming, then forget it. Sister Ah Yin and I will go by ourselves. We don't need you. You go find your Pope!"
Bai Yu chuckled. This little fox had gotten much bolder after giving herself to him. He then reached out and pinched her fair, tender cheek.
"Heh, since you already know, you still want me to go? I think you're asking for trouble."
"Besides, I'm not making excuses. I really do plan to go find our cheap teacher later."
Ah Yin, watching the two of them bicker, a smile appeared on her face. She thought to herself, they truly are childhood sweethearts, and their relationship is really good.
After a while, the three finished breakfast. Hu Liena took Ah Yin to explore Spirit Hall, and Bai Yu also left, heading straight for Bibi Dong's residence in the Supreme Pontiff Palace.
When he arrived, he didn't enter through the main door directly. Instead, he chose to sneakily climb through a window. He was afraid that if he went in directly, he wouldn't even find anyone.
"Tsk, she's really not here? Impossible. If not here, where else could she go? She can't just hide outside, can she?"
Bai Yu stood in Bibi Dong's bedroom, a hint of confusion on his face, muttering to himself incessantly.
After he came in, he searched every room but didn't find a single person, which surprised him a little.
"I really don't believe it. Can you, Bibi Dong, fly away or something?"
As Bai Yu's voice fell, he raised his finger and pressed it against his glabella, beginning to sense the location of his Spirit.
"Heh, found her! Teacher, oh teacher, don't blame me for being sneaky. Who told you to hide from me? It would have been fine if you just came out to meet me."
With a smile in his eyes, Bai Yu walked to the wall next to the dressing table, knocked on it, and then transmitted his voice inside with spirit power.
"Teacher, stop hiding. Come out. I know you're in there. If you don't come out, I'm going in to find you."
After a while, there was still no movement inside. Bai Yu chuckled softly, shaking his head helplessly, and began to search for the secret chamber mechanism.
"Creak!"
As he twisted a decoration on the dressing table, the adjacent wall slowly opened, revealing a downward staircase.
Bai Yu stepped inside and snapped his fingers. The dimly lit underground secret chamber instantly became brightly lit.
His gaze shifted, and Bai Yu scanned the surroundings. This was a simple training chamber, containing only a bed, a table, and two chairs.
Although he didn't see Bibi Dong, there was an irregular bulge under the quilt on the bed, as if something was hidden there.
Bai Yu slowly walked over, sat on the edge of the bed, and patted the quilt, saying with a smile in his voice:
"Teacher, still hiding? I'm already in. Are you still pretending not to know? What, do you want to be a desert ostrich? Is hiding your head safe?"
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Bibi Dong under the quilt remained motionless, refusing to come out no matter what.
"Tsk, she's really stubborn. It seems calling her 'Teacher' is useless now. What should I call her then? How about Dong'er?"
"Dong'er, your man is here to find you. Aren't you going to come out quickly? If you keep hiding, I'm going to pull back the quilt."
Bai Yu's single call of 'Dong'er' made Bibi Dong under the quilt completely unable to hold back. She directly threw off the quilt, her face flushed, and with anger in her eyes, she looked at Bai Yu.
"Bastard, I am your teacher! How can you be so disrespectful? Is 'Dong'er' something you can call me? And whose man are you?"
After saying this, Bibi Dong's eyes began to dart around again. She then took a deep breath, trying her best to calm herself.
"Little Yu, something went wrong with Teacher's cultivation, and I'm currently in seclusion to recuperate. You shouldn't have come in. Please leave quickly!"
Hearing Bibi Dong's words, Bai Yu's expression was a half-smile, and he thought to himself, 'Leave? I'm already here, how could I leave?'
He then directly reached out and pulled her into his embrace.
"Oh, so now you remember you're my teacher? Where was your courage before? Goodness, you even tried to pull off a 'seclusion and not seeing anyone' trick on me. Who are you trying to fool?"
"What, you're tough now that you're dressed? I vaguely remember someone holding onto me and not letting go before. Who was that person?"
Bibi Dong's pupils trembled, and her whole body stiffened. Bai Yu's words made her angry and annoyed, but more than that, embarrassed.
At the same time, she kept cursing herself inwardly, 'Why did I act so foolishly and lose my mind back then?'
'What should I do now? Why isn't there a crack in the ground for me to crawl into?'
Bibi Dong thought for a long time, then finally gritted her teeth, deciding to play dirty and pretend that nothing had happened, denying it to the end!
"Bai Yu, how dare you! What nonsense are you talking about? It's not enough that you disturbed my seclusion, but you're also touching me? Who gave you the guts?"
"I warn you, get out immediately! Don't think that just because you have some face in the Elder Palace, you can disregard me, your teacher!"
"If you don't listen to my advice again, then I... Mmm!"
