Chapter 93: Preparing to Eat Something Soft
Bai Yu curled his lips and cursed under his breath, “What kind of bad habit is this? Why does everyone like to bite people?”
“I give up, I give up! Stop biting, isn’t it enough if I don’t say anything? I really won’t say anything!”
Liu Erlong released Bai Yu and looked up at him, feeling quite annoyed by the way he was barely suppressing his laughter.
Then her expression changed, and she asked Bai Yu coldly, “Oh right, Bai Yu, didn’t you say before that any woman of yours gets an Immortal Herb as a welcome gift? Where’s mine?”
“Uh, this!?”
Bai Yu’s smile froze, becoming a bit awkward.
It wasn’t that he was unwilling to part with an Immortal Herb, but that item wasn’t as effective as imagined for people above the Spirit Saint rank.
For example, for Ning Fengzhi, an Immortal Herb would only help him break through his Spirit shackles. Whether he could reach level 82 after acquiring all his spirit rings was still up in the air.
“Hmm… if you want it, I can give it to you, but I have to explain first. This thing has a big reputation, but to put it plainly, it’s just a herb for strengthening the body and replenishing vital energy.”
“It’s actually not very effective for people above the Spirit Saint rank, and your Spirit is now considered a semi-super Spirit, so an Immortal Herb’s effect on you would be even more negligible.”
As Bai Yu spoke, he took out a wooden box. After opening it, a white ganoderma lucidum resembling a flying dragon appeared.
Liu Erlong blinked, took it out of the wooden box, and looked at it curiously.
“Is that an Immortal Herb? It doesn’t look special at all, does it? What’s the name of this Immortal Herb?”
Bai Yu smacked his lips and said somewhat helplessly, “Immortal Herbs come in different types, and their appearances vary greatly. Some Immortal Herbs are very flashy, while others, like this Dragon Ganoderma Leaf, are quite ordinary.”
Liu Erlong’s eyes widened. There were flashy Immortal Herbs? What did he mean by flashy?
Then she put the Dragon Ganoderma Leaf back into the wooden box and turned to look at Bai Yu.
“Do you have any other flashy Immortal Herbs? I want to see what they look like to be described that way by you!”
Looking at Liu Erlong’s curious expression, Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth and took out another jade box.
After opening it, a brilliant orchid came into view, shaped like a phoenix spreading its wings, with its plumes hanging down like a phoenix’s tail.
“This is a Phoenix Tail Orchid, also an Immortal Herb. Its surface glows with light, illuminating day and night, but this one is not only useless to you but would probably even repel you.”
Liu Erlong held the Phoenix Tail Orchid in her hand and indeed felt the repulsion from the Immortal Herb, which made her even more surprised.
“It’s truly beautiful. It’s quite flashy indeed. Alright, I’ve seen it, put it away. Now I can say I’ve seen an Immortal Herb!”
Hearing Liu Erlong’s words, Bai Yu’s lips curved slightly upward, and he said with a smile, “What? You don’t want the Immortal Herb anymore? Weren’t you all fierce just now?”
Liu Erlong rolled her eyes at Bai Yu, her expression disdainful.
“No, I don’t. You didn’t give it to me before, and now you’re only offering it when I ask, as if I’m some cheap commodity!”
“Besides, didn’t you say the Immortal Herb is useless to me? Then what do I need it for? Keep it yourself to fool other young girls!”
Bai Yu blinked, unsure if Liu Erlong was being jealous. He then pulled her closer into his arms.
“It’s not entirely useless; it can still increase some spirit power, but for an Immortal Herb, which is a rare heavenly material and earthly treasure, using it just to increase a little spirit power is truly not worth it.”
“Besides, didn’t I compensate you with the Saint Dragon Origin? That thing is more useful to you than an Immortal Herb. I certainly can’t let you suffer a loss, can I?”
Liu Erlong leaned against Bai Yu’s chest, closed her eyes, and said perfunctorily, “Yes, yes, you’re right. You, Master Bai, are very fair!”
“By the way, Bai Yu, I’m already at level 80 now, but I still haven’t found my eighth spirit ring. Can you help me figure something out?”
“Otherwise, I can only go to my father, and to be honest, even now, I don’t really want to see him. He abandoned my mother back then, and I probably can never forgive him in this lifetime.”
What could Bai Yu do? He could only grit his teeth and agree, otherwise, if a woman had a problem and had to go back to her parents’ home, wouldn’t that prove the man was incompetent?!
“Alright, leave this to me. You’ve seen my strength. At worst, I’ll take you out to find Spirit Beasts; it’ll be a piece of cake!”
Liu Erlong chuckled, thinking that Bai Yu was truly stubborn. But he was right; her little man was indeed quite strong.
Afterward, the two lingered for a while, and then Liu Erlong sent Bai Yu away, using the excuse that she needed to stabilize her cultivation.
After leaving Liu Erlong, Bai Yu’s face showed some worry, and he muttered to himself repeatedly.
“I’ve boasted, but where do I find a spirit ring? With Erlong’s current Spirit strength and physique, an 80,000 to 90,000-year-old spirit ring would be no problem.”
“Only her mental force is a bit weaker; otherwise, she could even try for a 100,000-year-old one. Tsk, where can I find an 80,000 to 90,000-year-old fire-attribute dragon Spirit Beast?”
“Hmm… I can only go scrounge for something. Gu Yuena, didn’t expect this, did you? I’m back again!”
Having made up his mind, Bai Yu puffed out his chest and strode towards Gu Yuena’s small courtyard.
Although he didn’t want to rely on a woman, there was no other way. Who made Gu Yuena both beautiful and rich? Better to enjoy it sooner rather than later!
When Bai Yu arrived in front of a small courtyard, he hesitated for a moment, then finally gritted his teeth and chose to knock on the door.
“Gu Yuena, are you there? I’m Bai Yu, I’ve come to see you!”
To be honest, he had felt a bit like retreating before knocking.
Bai Yu was afraid! What if Gu Yuena lost her temper, grabbed him, and suppressed him in the Life Lake?
But then he thought, if she wanted to catch him, she would have done so already. If it’s a blessing, it’s not a curse; if it’s a curse, he can’t avoid it. Just charge in and deal with it!
As the gate opened, Zi Ji’s figure appeared before Bai Yu, glaring at him with ill intent.
“What are you doing here again, you fellow? Get lost! I’m telling you, don’t even think about deceiving the Master again, or I’ll make you regret it!”
“Ah!?”
Bai Yu’s eyes widened. At this moment, he had only one thought: It’s over, I’ve been exposed! This damn notebook is really too shoddy; how could it expose me?
He had no idea that Zi Ji, this illiterate dragon, was not on the same wavelength as him! He was thinking of the notebook, while Zi Ji was talking about the picture book!
“Alright, Zi Ji, let him in.”
Just as the two were staring at each other, Gu Yuena’s voice came from inside the courtyard, breaking their stalemate.
Zi Ji snorted coldly, ignoring him, and turned to walk into the courtyard.
Bai Yu took a deep breath, constantly reassuring himself.
“Hiss, relax, it’s impossible for her to have found out. I must be overthinking. After all, my Creation Force can truly assimilate other forces. At worst, I’ll just get caught!”
Then he composed himself and followed her in.
“Didn’t we just meet yesterday? Are you looking for me again today for something?”
Gu Yuena’s eyes also held a hint of surprise, as she would sense Bai Yu from time to time and hadn’t noticed him encountering any problems.
