Chapter 209: Has Bai Yu Changed His Ways?
Hearing Huo Wu’s words, Huo Wushuang shook his head. He didn’t want to get too involved in their affairs.
Although Huo Wushuang felt that if Feng Xiaotian could become his brother-in-law, it would be quite good. After all, Feng Xiaotian was strong, highly talented, and he knew him well, and he genuinely liked his sister.
But Huo Wu had always had her own ideas since she was little. If she didn’t agree, it would be useless for him, as her brother, to try to persuade her, so he wouldn’t bother.
And the Shrek Team, having defeated Shenfeng, could be said to be invincible in the subsequent matches, with no other team able to stop their winning streak.
Even the Elephant Armored Team, just as Bai Yu had said, was defeated by Zhu Zhuqing’s chilling attribute.
It’s worth mentioning that an incident did occur in between: when Shrek was about to face the Canghui Battle Team, Shi Nian still made his move.
However, this time, the targets were not Tang San, but Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong, and Xiao Wu.
Shi Nian seized the opportunity when they were shopping and directly used the power of his Spirit Bone to trap them in an illusion.
Even though they had all cultivated their techniques and their mental force had increased significantly, they still couldn’t resist Shi Nian’s power.
After all, they were different from Tang San. Tang San was able to break through Shi Nian’s illusion at that time because he had consumed the ‘Wish-Fulfilling Autumn Dew,’ which allowed his cultivation technique and mental force to advance, thus enabling him to see through Shi Nian’s illusion and counterattack with a sneak attack.
But Zhu Zhuqing and the other two didn’t have the ‘Wish-Fulfilling Autumn Dew,’ so they directly succumbed to the illusion, unable to extricate themselves.
Just as Shi Nian was about to strike, a sigh suddenly came from beside his ear, and then there was no ‘then’—Shi Nian was dead, killed by Bai Yu.
Bai Yu had already discovered Shi Nian tracking them after they finished their match for the day.
However, he didn’t act at that time. He even intentionally unleashed a burst of killing intent towards the tracking Shi Nian, hoping he would retreat, as Bai Yu didn’t really like to kill people.
But unfortunately, he was given a chance, and Shi Nian didn’t seize it. Although Bai Yu’s killing intent did scare him for a while, for some reason, he still followed them.
Perhaps he thought this killing intent wasn’t emitted by someone from Shrek, but merely by a passing expert who wanted to scare him.
After all, he knew Flender, and he wasn’t that strong.
And Bai Yu’s reputation wasn’t prominent. Although he had defeated a Spirit Douluo in the Great Spirit Arena two years ago, those who knew what he looked like were limited to those who watched the match that day and those who collected information afterwards, and Shi Nian was not among them.
So he still made his move, and making a move meant death.
Apart from this small interlude, Shrek’s winning streak proceeded without further complications. Even in the subsequent promotion rounds, they achieved first place with a record of fourteen consecutive victories.
Achieving such results wasn’t just because Zhu Zhuqing was invincible in one-on-one combat. After all, no matter how strong one person is, it’s difficult to defeat seven opponents, as the consumption of spirit power is unavoidable.
But she wasn’t fighting alone. Not to mention Dai Mubai and others who had already recovered, even Xiao Wu, during this period, finally broke through another level and successfully advanced to level 41 Spirit Ancestor after condensing her spirit ring.
The Shrek Team now also had four Spirit Ancestors: Zhu Zhuqing at level 46, Dai Mubai at level 43, Ning Rongrong at level 42, and Xiao Wu at level 41.
During the promotion rounds, when Shrek faced Blazing Fire, Huo Wu, as expected, came over and challenged Zhu Zhuqing to a duel.
Although she had carefully studied Zhu Zhuqing’s battle data, the gap in raw strength couldn’t be erased by data alone, and ultimately, she still lost to Zhu Zhuqing.
While the members of the Shrek Team were busy with daily matches, Bai Yu, who was originally just watching the excitement, didn’t get much rest during this period either.
Because Shui Yue’er had latched onto him. Whenever she had free time, she would come over to chat with him, talking about this and that, which left Bai Yu quite helpless.
Bai Yu, of course, knew Shui Yue’er’s intentions, but he wasn’t sure if the Shui family would agree to this, so he hadn’t accepted yet.
“Bai Yu, the convoy is about to depart. I have to go back now. We’ll see each other in Spirit City!”
“Okay, see you in Spirit City.”
Bai Yu watched Shui Yue’er skip away, helplessly covering his face. Shui Yue’er had been bothering him every day during this period, and he had even gotten somewhat used to it.
Even on the day the fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou competition zone departed for Spirit City, Shui Yue’er didn’t forget to come to Bai Yu and chatter for a while.
“Tsk, you’re really popular, aren’t you? Wherever you go, there are young girls throwing themselves at you.”
“If you ask me, Bai Yu, you should just agree quickly. It’ll save her from running back and forth all day. If you’re not annoyed, we certainly are.”
“Besides, Shui Yue’er has such a baby face, she’s incredibly cute, and her figure isn’t bad either. Isn’t she exactly your type?”
After Shui Yue’er left, Ning Rongrong clicked her tongue repeatedly at Bai Yu, making fun of him.
Bai Yu glanced at Ning Rongrong and said grumpily, “Heh, you’re being quite generous, aren’t you? When she comes, I’ll banish you to the cold palace and see if you’re still so smug.”
Ning Rongrong rolled her eyes, looking completely unconcerned, and began to beg for mercy in an extremely flat tone.
“Oh, I’m so scared, don’t banish Rongrong to the cold palace. Rongrong will definitely listen to you from now on. Please spare Rongrong this time.”
Zhu Zhuqing and Xiao Wu both laughed from the side. It was quite interesting to watch these two clown around when there was nothing else to do.
“But speaking of which, Shui Yue’er has been pestering you for so long, why haven’t you accepted her yet?”
“When Sister Lingling came to find you back then, you agreed immediately. Could it be that you don’t like this type?”
Zhu Zhuqing’s eyes showed curiosity. This perverted Bai Yu, he actually didn’t eat the meat delivered to his mouth. Had he changed his ways?
Hearing Zhu Zhuqing’s question, Bai Yu smacked his lips and waved his hand, saying, “It’s not the same. When Lingling came to find me, I knew her family agreed to it, so I didn’t refuse.”
“But for Shui Yue’er to follow me, I don’t know if her family agrees, so I’ve been dragging it out.”
“After all, if the Shui family doesn’t agree, and I accept Shui Yue’er, I’ll have a lot of trouble later.”
Zhu Zhuqing and the other two looked enlightened. So that’s how it was. They thought, how could that dog Bai Yu possibly change his ways? That would be a joke!
“Then why don’t you ask her? If you ask her, you’ll know if her family agrees, won’t you?”
Bai Yu once again raised his hand to cover his face and said in a muffled voice, “Ask her? Asking her is useless! She’s not the rational type; she’s a rebellious girl through and through.”
“Even if her family doesn’t agree, she’d probably say they do. I’ll just wait until I have time to visit the Tianshui side before saying anything.”
A smile flashed in the eyes of Zhu Zhuqing and the other two. Hearing Bai Yu say that, they also realized it. Indeed, that infatuated girl was a bit dense.
