Chapter 95: You Are Not the First, You Are the Second!
Bai Yu raised his hand and pinched the Little Angel’s surprised face, saying softly, “Because Dugu Bo was recruited by me. My people, of course, must be under the jurisdiction of the Supreme Pontiff Palace.”
Bai Yu’s words made Qian Renxue’s eyes widen. She hadn’t expected that Dugu Bo was actually recruited by this scoundrel?
“You said Dugu Bo was recruited by you? That means, five years ago, when you were twelve, you could recruit a Title Douluo? How did you do it?”
Bai Yu’s lips curled slightly upwards, and he said with a smile, “Hehe, once your man’s domineering aura is released, a mere Dugu Bo would immediately submit, wouldn’t he?”
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch him.
“Stop talking nonsense, let’s talk seriously. How did you manage to recruit that Old Poison? That old fellow doesn’t have a good impression of Spirit Hall!”
“If you don’t explain clearly, I’d be a bit hesitant to use him. What if he backfires on me someday? That would be quite a problem.”
Looking at Qian Renxue’s serious, inquisitive expression, Bai Yu smacked his lips and said helplessly, “Hmm… I guess you could say I saved his family’s lives. You know, I have a lot of research on Spirits. Their Dugu family’s Spirit inheritance has a problem.”
“Their Spirit comes with an inherited poison that not only harms themselves but also passes down to their descendants. I helped him solve this problem, and the condition was for him to join Spirit Hall, along with some other small things.”
A look of realization flashed in Qian Renxue’s eyes, and her face showed an “oh, I see” expression.
“No wonder that old fellow’s hair and eyes used to be green, and then they changed. I thought he did it himself.”
“But since it’s a life-saving favor, then he can certainly be used!”
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and said in a teasing tone, “I say, Little Angel, are you that cautious? When I went to Old Poison’s place before, I even talked about these things with him.”
“He said that in these past few years, let alone you, he hasn’t even met Porcupinefish and Snake Lance, the two Elders.”
Qian Renxue looked at Bai Yu’s cheerful expression, narrowed her eyes, and began to mock him in return.
“Hehe, what else can I do? I, this poor person, can’t compare to you, His Highness the Saint Child.”
“Look at you, these past few years, you’ve either been traveling outside or chasing pretty girls. Your life is truly carefree!”
“And then look at me, I can only cautiously play the Heaven Dou Crown Prince in this deep palace, exhausting myself every day. It’s truly unfair!”
Ah, this?
Qian Renxue’s sudden resentful demeanor left Bai Yu somewhat speechless.
He really hadn’t expected the Little Angel to play this card. She had always been a cold goddess before. What was this now? A Daiyu-style green tea?
He quickly waved his hand and pleaded in a low voice.
“Alright, alright, it’s my fault for not telling you about Dugu Bo’s matter beforehand. Let’s not talk about this. I mainly came today to ask you out for a stroll.”
“Just as well, your mood isn’t great right now, so how about we go shopping and relax a bit?”
Qian Renxue blinked, surprised that Bai Yu would ask her to go shopping. Had he hit his head today?
Then, a smile appeared on her face, and she nodded in agreement.
“Alright, let’s go then. But I shouldn’t be the first woman you’ve accompanied shopping, right?”
Bai Yu’s eyelids twitched a few times, thinking to himself, what’s wrong with this Little Angel today, saying strange things?
Then, he said with a hint of teasing in his tone, “You’re absolutely right about that, you’re indeed not the first. You’re the second. The first one is named Bibi Dong.”
Qian Renxue looked startled, then reacted, angrily hitting Bai Yu a few times.
“Bai Yu! Can you just drop dead!”
After a bout of playful bickering, the two quietly slipped out of the Crown Prince Residence and walked side-by-side on the streets of Heaven Dou City.
After leaving the residence, Qian Renxue’s mood visibly improved. Her looking around excitedly made Bai Yu find it somewhat amusing.
“I say, Little Angel, you’ve lived in Heaven Dou City for so many years, you must be more than familiar with everything in the city, right? Why do you still look so curious?”
Hearing Bai Yu’s question, Qian Renxue shot him a sidelong glance and said testily, “How can it be the same? Before, it was Xue Qinghe who came out, but now I am Qian Renxue! Xue Qinghe had to maintain a facade, but as Qian Renxue, of course, I can do as I please!”
Looking at Qian Renxue’s genuine happiness, a hint of tenderness flashed in Bai Yu’s eyes.
He wanted to let her be herself, but this Little Angel was incredibly stubborn and couldn’t be persuaded. He figured his cheap teacher would have to persuade her personally.
“The Heaven Dou Auction House is just ahead, Bai Yu, do you want to go take a look?”
Bai Yu’s thoughts were interrupted. His gaze followed the direction of Qian Renxue’s finger, and a semi-circular building came into view.
Then he turned to Qian Renxue and said with a smile, “Do you want to go? If you want to, we’ll go take a look.”
Qian Renxue shook her head, a hint of disgust in her eyes.
“I don’t want to go. I’ve been there countless times. I was just asking if you wanted to go see it.”
Bai Yu chuckled and also shook his head, responding in a somewhat flat tone, “Since you don’t want to go, then we won’t. We haven’t had lunch yet, so let’s find a place to eat.”
Qian Renxue blinked, staring at Bai Yu with a strange expression.
“You don’t seem very interested in the auction house? I thought you’d like it here, after all, there are beautiful women as auction items here!”
Bai Yu’s mouth twitched slightly. He reached out and tapped Qian Renxue’s forehead. What kind of person did this Little Angel take him for!
“Is that how you see me? Tell me honestly, what kind of image do I have in your heart?”
Qian Renxue felt a bit awkward, thinking to herself, what kind of image could it be? A sex-crazed pervert, of course! What decent person would just take someone down on their second meeting!
Although in these past few years, that scoundrel Bai Yu had constantly sent gifts, and those letters that gave her goosebumps, they had indeed conquered her.
But these things only proved that Bai Yu was a highly skilled pervert, nothing more!
Qian Renxue thought for a long time but couldn’t come up with a good explanation. She could only resort to her female instinct and start acting shamelessly!
“Oh, what image? I was just asking if you wanted to go to the auction house, why are you making such a big deal out of it?”
A smile flashed in Bai Yu’s eyes. He had to admit, this contrasting Little Angel was really quite cute, much more fun than her previous cold demeanor!
“Alright, alright, I won’t ask anymore! Actually, speaking of auction houses, I’ve only been to one once during my many years of training outside.”
“Since then, I’ve never been back, because every time I pass by an auction house, I recall the scene from that first time, and I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist making a move!”
Bai Yu’s words left Qian Renxue a bit confused. Make a move? Why would he make a move? Did an auction house provoke him?
“Why do you say that? Has an auction house there offended you? If it has, just eliminate it directly, why bother yourself!”
