Chapter 44: Captured to be a laborer?
Bibi Dong's mouth twitched violently. According to the description in the Instances, although she had anticipated it, she didn't expect her disciple to also have one.
Recalling the embarrassing incidents about herself recorded in the Instances, and knowing that her disciple now knew about them, the embarrassment made her want to dig a three-bedroom, one-living-room hole on the spot!
She slowly exhaled and said,
"Don't go yet. If you go, there's no way to explain it. Besides, that little rascal Bai Yu isn't that simple; he won't get into trouble."
"His Spirit is still with me and hasn't been summoned back, which means he was still quite at ease during yesterday's battle."
Bibi Dong pulled the Hong Ming Knife, which had become a small ornament, from the deep valley of her chest, caressed it with her fingers, and a look of longing appeared on her face.
Hu Liena heard her teacher's words and felt her intelligence wasn't quite enough. Why would Bai Yu's Spirit be here?
"Teacher, how can his Spirit be with you? How is this possible?"
Hu Liena's question brought a hint of curiosity to Bibi Dong's expression. She was also full of bewilderment about this matter. She then shook her head and said with a touch of confusion,
"I don't know how he did it either, but the result is that he left his Spirit, the Hong Ming Knife, with me!"
"Oh, right, Nana, how did you get here so quickly? Did you run off to that little rascal's Saint Child Hall again? I've told you not to always run there. It's not like you don't have a place to stay."
Hu Liena looked a bit embarrassed. She stepped forward, hugged Bibi Dong's arm, and said coquettishly,
"Oh, Teacher, when Bai Yu hadn't left yet, I often stayed there. I'm used to it now! The Elder Palace even pretends not to see it. Teacher, don't be so strict!"
Looking at her silly disciple, who was hugging her arm and swaying back and forth, she thought to herself,
"With that brat's contributions, let alone agreeing to you staying in the Saint Child Hall, even if he said the Elder Palace didn't look good and wanted to tear it down and rebuild it, those old farts would have to nod and say it was a good idea to tear it down!"
After all, the various resources and knowledge Bai Yu had sent back over the years had greatly benefited the families and relatives behind these people.
Then, a hint of resentment flashed in her eyes. Thinking that the ungrateful disciple had a senior sister at home who could dedicate herself to him at any time, yet still went out to flirt, she wished she could severely punish him.
She turned her head and said to the little fox in an annoyed tone,
"Useless! Do as you please, I'm too lazy to bother with you! And you don't need to worry about him. Go back."
Hu Liena's face immediately lit up when she heard her teacher agree. She didn't want to be successful; she wanted her junior brother! Then she said sweetly to Bibi Dong,
"Thank you, Teacher! Then I'll go back first. Teacher, get some rest early!"
In Heaven Dou City, in the Crown Prince Residence, Qian Renxue's eyes flashed with killing intent when she saw Tang Hao's name, and she muttered to herself.
"Tang Hao! You've finally appeared. The revenge for killing my father can finally be exacted! But why didn't Bai Yu have someone kill him? And why is he so strong?"
Qian Renxue's face showed confusion, expressing her incomprehension regarding Bai Yu's increase in strength. Then, a strange light flashed in her eyes.
Meanwhile, Bai Yu had just finished writing about his battle with Tang Hao in the Chronicle of Light and Shadow and was preparing to test the Silver Dragon King.
【I won't talk about the rat. Everything is under control. What surprised me was that at noon today, the Silver Dragon King actually appeared. Shouldn't she be recuperating in Life Lake now? Why is she here?】
【Although in the previous life, whether she was healing her injuries or fighting alongside me against the three gods, she always appeared in her true form, and I never saw her transform into human form, that aura couldn't be wrong. It must be her!】
【Tsk, as expected of the Spirit Beast co-master, who rivals a God King. The beauty after transforming into human form is simply peerless!】
【It's a pity that no matter how good our relationship was, it was in the previous life. Now, she doesn't know me. If I were to go up and try to relate to her, she'd probably just flick me away.】
At this moment, everyone watching the Instances, except Gu Yuena, whose mouth curved slightly upward, had their eyes wide open and were full of question marks. What is a Spirit Beast co-master? When did Spirit Beasts have a master?
In the hotel where the two met during the day, Gu Yuena smiled and murmured softly,
"My feeling was correct. His power, full of natural aura, can indeed suppress and neutralize the Shura's power. It seems I need to reintroduce myself to him."
"But you need to get stronger quickly. With this much power now, even if I capture you and have you heal me day and night, it would still take at least a hundred years."
"Hurry up and cultivate, otherwise I won't be able to resist capturing you! But capturing you might be good too; it would allow you to focus on cultivation!"
Gu Yuena's eyes flickered. What should she do if she felt like kidnapping someone?
"Ah-choo!"
Bai Yu sneezed violently, and a shiver ran through his body. His eyes widened, and he muttered.
"Damn it! What's going on? Is that woman, the Silver Dragon King, thinking about me? She won't come over and do me in, will she? No, sister! I didn't say anything bad about you, did I?"
Just as Bai Yu was praying that Gu Yuena wouldn't cause him any trouble, there was a sudden knock on the door.
He exhaled, calmed his thumping heart, waved his hand to open the door, and saw Ma Hongjun walk in.
"I say, Fatty, what's wrong again?"
Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands, a flattering smile on his face, and said to Bai Yu,
"Bai Ge, we're going to fight in the Grand Soul Arena. Why don't you come with us?"
"Huh?"
Bai Yu was startled by the bad premonition he had just had, and his thoughts were still a bit muddled. The question blurted out.
"If you want to fight, go fight. Why are you looking for me? I can't help you fight either."
Ma Hongjun chuckled awkwardly and said somewhat sheepishly,
"Hehe, it's just that if you don't go, Bai Ge, we'll have to squeeze into the main hall again. Bai Ge, you have a Diamond Medal. If we squeeze into the main hall, you'll lose face too."
Bai Yu's mouth twitched, and he stared blankly at Ma Hongjun. Then he clapped him hard on the shoulder twice, laughing in exasperation,
"Ha, alright! I'll take this face. Let's go!"
Ma Hongjun followed behind Bai Yu, grimacing. Those two slaps almost broke him. His heart was full of resentment, and he thought to himself, 'No wonder they all told me to come. They really screwed me over!'
After a while, everyone except the stingy Flender and the three girls, Zhu Zhuqing, were gathered in the private room, waiting for the soul battle to begin.
"The Dean, no need to say, must have gone to place bets again. And the three little cats aren't here either? Where did they run off to?"
Bai Yu looked around and asked Zhao Wuji with some confusion.
Zhao Wuji scratched his head and said helplessly,
"Who knows? Just now, that little girl Ning Rongrong dragged the other two back to their room, acting all mysterious. I don't know what they went to do, but they said they'd be here soon, so it shouldn't delay the soul battle."
Just now, when the Shrek group was about to sign up for the soul battle, Bai Yu happened to be writing about his encounter with Gu Yuena at noon.
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's eyes showed surprise and curiosity, then they looked at Zhu Zhuqing and noticed her expression of sudden realization.
