Chapter 242: A Battle of Acting Skills
But just as Bai Yu said, everyone else had one, so how could Shui Bing'er not have one?
Although Shui Bing'er was an unexpected addition for Bai Yu, no matter how unexpected, she was now his woman, and he had to treat everyone equally.
"Another Immortal Herb? Let me see! It's not going to be like mine, an Immortal Herb that looks like an insect, is it?"
Before Shui Bing'er could speak, Shui Yue'er snatched the jade box and opened it directly.
"So beautiful! Bai Yu, you're biased! Why does mine look like an insect, but Bing'er's Immortal Herb is so pretty!"
When Shui Yue'er saw the Phoenix Tail Orchid, her eyes first sparkled with little stars. After she came to her senses, she glared at Bai Yu, her expression showing that she wished she could tear him apart.
Bai Yu clicked his tongue, a helpless look on his face.
"This isn't me being biased. It's because this Immortal Herb isn't compatible with you. Immortal Herbs have spirits; they also choose their owners."
"If you force its use, not only might there be no benefits, but it could also damage your foundation, making it difficult for you to progress in the future."
To Bai Yu's words, Shui Yue'er only gave one response: she covered her ears and shook her head repeatedly.
"I'm not listening! I'm not listening! My Immortal Herb is so ugly; you're just biased."
Bai Yu was exasperated and gave Shui Yue'er a flick on the forehead.
"It's good enough to have an Immortal Herb, and you're even complaining that it's ugly? Do you know that if I released this Immortal Herb, the people who want it could line up from Heaven Dou City to Star Luo City?"
"Alright, stop messing around here. Let Bing'er quickly refine the Immortal Herb, and then I'll take you two back to Spirit Hall."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Shui Yue'er stopped making a fuss. She handed the Phoenix Tail Orchid to Shui Bing'er, signaling her to use it quickly.
Shui Bing'er's mouth opened and closed several times, wanting to refuse, but she knew it was useless to refuse; Bai Yu would still give it to her.
If she refused too many times, it would just make her seem pretentious. So, she gritted her teeth, took the Phoenix Tail Orchid, and absorbed it according to Bai Yu's method.
Shui Bing'er didn't want to dwell on it anymore. She would just use this Immortal Herb. Anyway, as long as Shui Yue'er didn't object, she was destined to be Bai Yu's woman.
Since that was the case, why worry so much? Besides, her mother had already sold her, and she herself had shamelessly fallen for Bai Yu.
Seeing Shui Bing'er absorbing the Immortal Herb, Bai Yu secretly nodded. It seemed this girl also had a good impression of him.
Her staying wasn't solely due to Shui Ling Shuang's calculations. Otherwise, with Shui Bing'er's proud nature, she would never have accepted this Immortal Herb.
Then Bai Yu took out a chessboard, explained the rules to Shui Yue'er, and the two began playing Five-in-a-Row.
After Shui Bing'er finished absorbing the Immortal Herb, Bai Yu took the two of them back to Spirit Hall. Under the disdainful gazes of Ning Rongrong and the others, he briefly introduced Shui Bing'er before quickly running out.
"Bai Yu, you're here? You hinted to me earlier to stay in Spirit City for a while. Why exactly?"
After Bai Yu ran out of his Saint Child Hall, he went straight to where the Heaven Dou Empire envoys were staying.
However, it must be said that he arrived at a very opportune time. The Heaven Dou team had just left, and Little Angel had also reverted to her true form, preparing to go to Spirit Hall to find him.
Qian Renxue was also a bit curious why Bai Yu wanted her to stay. After all, on the Heaven Dou side, the Emperor was almost bedridden, and now was precisely the time she was needed to return and take charge of the overall situation.
Hearing Qian Renxue's question, Bai Yu shook his head, leaned back in his chair, and said leisurely:
"It wasn't me who asked you to stay, it was your grandfather. Because your current strength is sufficient, the High Priest wants you to try and see if you can obtain the Angel God's legacy."
Qian Renxue raised an eyebrow, a look of realization appearing on her face. She thought to herself, so that's how it is. The Angel God's legacy? It's time to try it.
Then Qian Renxue changed her expression, her face filled with surprise.
"Angel God? The Divinity my Qian family has always worshipped? You said my grandfather wants me to try for the Angel God's legacy? Does the Angel God really have a legacy left on the continent?"
Bai Yu's eyelids twitched. Looking at Qian Renxue, who showed no trace of acting, he felt immense admiration.
As expected of someone who could flawlessly impersonate a prince, her acting skills were simply superb. If he hadn't been standing on a higher ground, he would have been completely fooled by this woman.
"Since the High Priest said so, then it should be true. I'm not too sure about the specifics. Why don't you go to the Elder Palace and see your grandfather? Then you'll know."
A glint of amusement flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes. She cursed Bai Yu, that dog, for never speaking a word of truth. Anyone who didn't know him would really believe he was ignorant!
At this moment, in this small room, the two of them engaged in a battle of acting skills, mutually despising each other, truly a brilliant stage play.
Afterward, Bai Yu accompanied Qian Renxue to the Elder Palace to meet Qian Daoliu.
After the grandfather and granddaughter finished catching up and were about to head to the Douluo Hall to receive the legacy, Bai Yu left alone and went to an empty side hall.
Because while battling acting skills with Qian Renxue today, he remembered something: now that he had broken through to Spirit Douluo, his broken notebook seemed to be able to produce replicas again?
When he broke through to Spirit Saint before, he had speculated that for every major rank he broke through, two more replicas would appear. Now he wanted to see if that was truly the case.
Then Bai Yu took out the main book, placed his hand on it, and with a thought, the notebook instantly split into three.
"Indeed. This broken thing, without even an instruction manual or hints, is truly frustrating."
To be honest, if it weren't for this thing being able to increase his spirit power by a little each year, he would have thrown it away long ago.
Why bother taking a little time each day to make up nonsense on it, which had become a habit over the past two years.
"However, who should I give these two replicas to?"
"Bing'er, Yue'er, and Zhuyun – the three of them don't have one. It wouldn't be good to leave anyone out. Hiss, why can't this damn thing just split into two more?"
Bai Yu frowned and thought for a while, then decided to give these two replicas to Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er.
It wasn't that he didn't care about Zhu Zhuyun or didn't want to give her one, but rather that there weren't enough replicas now, and he couldn't distribute them all.
Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er would be staying by his side in the future and needed to get along with Zhu Zhuqing and the others. Having replicas would make things a bit more convenient.
As for Zhu Zhuyun, she wouldn't be able to come for a while, so there was no need to rush. Anyway, his cultivation speed was getting faster and faster, so he could just give her one next time.
However, although Bai Yu had already decided, he didn't give out the replicas immediately, because Shui Bing'er and the others were still with Zhu Zhuqing and the rest.
Suddenly receiving such a shocking item, Shui Bing'er might not react too strongly, but Shui Yue'er, that girl, would definitely jump sky-high in surprise. If they exposed anything, it wouldn't be good.
It would be better to wait until late at night. Then, no matter how surprised they were, no one would see them.
