Chapter 81: Preparing a Big Event
Early the next morning, Bai Yu greeted Dugu Bo and the others, then walked out of Dugu Mansion, preparing to look for Gu Yuena.
Ye Lingling also planned to return to her family to discuss with them about Bai Yu solving the Spirit inheritance problem.
Bai Yu couldn't help but want to laugh when he recalled how Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at him like they had seen a ghost, with strange and surprised eyes.
But his laughter gradually turned bitter, and he reached up to scratch his hair, his eyes filled with difficulty.
“Tsk, Gu Yuena, where are you? Heaven Dou City is so big, where am I supposed to find you? Can't you be more proactive and come out yourself?”
Immediately, Bai Yu shook his head, unfurled his Domain, and controlled its fluctuations.
Unless someone also possessed a Domain or had Title Douluo strength, no one would be able to detect him; he planned to conduct a carpet search of the entire city.
In Gu Yuena's small courtyard, she and Zi Ji were trying out human life, eating breakfast.
Suddenly, she felt a surge of Domain power spreading over her, raised her eyebrows, a smile tugged at the corner of her lips, and with a wave of her hand, a spatial power enveloped her and Zi Ji.
Zi Ji looked up, glanced outside, and said to Gu Yuena:
“Master, this power seems to belong to that ill-intentioned fellow. What is he doing?”
“Also, Master, why did you hide the two of us?”
Gu Yuena was stirring her porridge with a spoon when she heard Zi Ji's curious question, she narrowed her eyes, a playful expression on her face.
“He's looking for us, but I haven't finished my breakfast yet, and I can't be disturbed by him. Let him search a few times outside!”
“Ah?”
Zi Ji's eyes widened, gasping in surprise. She wanted to ask what Bai Yu was looking for them for, but seeing that her Master clearly had no intention of telling her, she held it back.
Then a look of excited joy appeared on her face; teasing this guy wasn't bad either, after all, this bastard had looked at her with ill intentions the first time they met! He deserved it!
Meanwhile, Bai Yu had been searching for almost half an hour; he had searched all of Heaven Dou City but still hadn't found anyone.
“Where did this person go? Not here? Impossible, how could she run off without guarding me, her hard laborer?”
“Damn it, this woman wouldn't deliberately hide, would she? Just to mess with me? Forget it, I'll try again. If I still can't find her, I'll give up!”
Bai Yu, squatting in the corner of the North City Gate, looked helpless. He stood up and flashed towards the city center; he was going to pull off something big!
Upon arriving at the center of Heaven Dou City, Bai Yu exhaled, spirit power surged around him, and subtle winds began to pick up.
“Wind Aspect, Heaven and Earth Echo!”
“Senior Gu Yuena, where are you!”
“Senior, where are you~! Where are you~! Where~!”
As Bai Yu let out a low shout, the subtle winds around him began to spread outwards, and his voice began to echo. The first sound was not loud, but it grew louder and louder as it traveled!
At this moment, Bai Yu's face held a smile, and a hint of madness, he thought to himself:
“Tsk, I've been tormented, so no one else should have an easy time. Everyone in the city, get up and party!”
But Bai Yu's wish did not come true; the sound had not spread more than a hundred meters before his Wind Aspect was interrupted by a force.
Gu Yuena suddenly appeared in front of him with Zi Ji, her palm resting on his shoulder again, and it was very forceful!
Bai Yu winced, feeling as if all his bones were wailing. He looked at Gu Yuena's displeased expression and chuckled awkwardly.
“Senior Gu Yuena, you're here? I was just about to look for you all. Have you eaten? Shall I treat you to breakfast?”
Bai Yu's shameless appearance made Gu Yuena's lips twitch. She truly wanted to lock him at the bottom of Life Lake and make him work for her day and night!
Then she took a slight breath, narrowed her eyes at Bai Yu, and said softly:
“I live not far from your academy. You don't need to come here to find me. Also, don't cause such a big commotion in the future, or I'll break your legs!”
“Tell me, what do you need me for? On account of you receiving the legacy of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings, I can grant you some small requests.”
Bai Yu swallowed, his awkward smile growing wider. Even though Gu Yuena said she would break his legs, he didn't dare talk back. What if she really did it?
As the saying goes, a wise man submits to circumstances. Moreover, Gu Yuena had even given him an excuse, using the name of the Water and Fire Dragon Kings' legacy to give him things, saving him so much trouble!
“Um, Senior Gu Yuena, I've run into a bit of trouble and need two pieces of life gold, about the size of a water droplet. I wonder if Senior has any? If so, I can trade for them!”
Gu Yuena blinked. Hearing Bai Yu mention trading, she became a little interested and asked curiously:
“Oh? I do have life gold, and it's not very useful to me, so giving you some wouldn't hurt. But you said you want to trade?”
“Although this item is useless to me, it's a rare treasure. What do you plan to trade for it?”
Hearing Gu Yuena's question, Bai Yu showed a proud expression and said with a smile:
“My cultivation technique! Senior, rest assured, the value of this cultivation technique absolutely rivals or even surpasses life gold. Senior will not be at a disadvantage!”
In truth, Bai Yu knew that even without a trade, Gu Yuena would still give him the life gold, but it was about deepening their relationship, there was no shame in it!
Bai Yu's condition made Gu Yuena raise an eyebrow. To be honest, she was indeed a little interested in cultivation techniques, she just didn't know if it would be useful to her.
“Cultivation technique? Interesting. Alright, I agree to trade with you. Also, didn't I say you don't need to call me Senior? I don't like that title.”
Gu Yuena said as she flipped her hand, took out a fist-sized piece of life gold, and tossed it into Bai Yu's hand.
As the life gold appeared, an extremely rich life energy permeated the surroundings, and green sprouts even grew in the cracks of the stone slabs on the ground.
Bai Yu looked at the fist-sized life gold, a smile tugged at his lips, and he immediately put it away, then handed his cultivation technique to Gu Yuena.
“No problem. Since you don't like me calling you Senior, how about I just call you by your name from now on?”
Gu Yuena took the cultivation technique and casually said to Bai Yu:
“Okay, just call me Gu Yuena.”
Watching Gu Yuena flip through the cultivation technique as soon as she got it, seemingly distracted while he spoke, Bai Yu helplessly rubbed the corner of his mouth.
“Since I've already gotten the life gold, I won't bother you anymore. Also, Gu Yuena, you should go back and read it. This isn't the place to test cultivation techniques!”
Bai Yu's words made Gu Yuena pause her book-flipping. She then waved her hand at him, pulled Zi Ji, and disappeared.
Bai Yu, standing in place, smacked his lips, sighed, and thought to himself with a hint of melancholy:
“Alas, my strength is still weak. I don't even dare to speak loudly in front of her. If I had strength surpassing a God King, would she dare to ignore me? I'd just drag her back to warm my bed!”
In Gu Yuena's small courtyard, Zi Ji held back again and again, but finally couldn't hold back anymore.
“Master, the life gold is for your healing, why did you give it to that guy? And you only got this one book in return?”
“If Master wants to read picture books with little people, I can go buy them! There are as many as you want in the city's bookstores!”
