Chapter 121: The Sneaky Rat!
As for the reasons, the first is strength. Spirit Vulture Douluo has only just broken through to level 93. If she follows Bai Yu, it's hard to say who would protect whom.
The second reason is that Spirit Vulture Douluo is also a heroic beauty. Although she currently has no romantic feelings for Bai Yu, their relationship is limited to that of siblings.
But who knows if Spirit Vulture Douluo's feelings will change after spending more time together?
After all, with Bai Yu's 'come one, come all' personality, as long as Spirit Vulture Douluo takes the initiative, it's bound to succeed!
However, since Bai Yu himself chose Spirit Vulture Douluo, Bibi Dong couldn't really refute him because what Bai Yu said was not wrong.
Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, as the overt pillars of Spirit Hall, would indeed be too conspicuous if they followed him.
Thinking of this, Bibi Dong's eyes rolled slightly, and she said helplessly,
“Alright, then Spirit Vulture Douluo it is. However, Spirit Vulture Douluo’s strength is a bit lacking, so you still need to be extra careful.”
Bai Yu waved his hand, his face full of indifference.
“It doesn’t matter. I never expected her to defeat Tang Hao anyway. Being able to hold him off for a while and give me some reaction time is enough.”
For Bai Yu, having Spirit Vulture Douluo follow him was not actually to protect him, but to protect Ah Yin.
After all, he couldn't always stay by Ah Yin's side; he still had to go out and roam. What if the rat ambushed their home while he was out? Wouldn't that be disastrous?
So, bringing Spirit Vulture Douluo was to allow her to hold on for a moment in such situations, giving him time to come to the rescue.
After this matter was decided, Bai Yu and Bibi Dong chatted casually. After they finished lunch, Bibi Dong found an excuse about needing to handle affairs and sent Bai Yu away.
Although she indeed had some matters to attend to, the greater reason was that she had acquired a taste for it and feared she wouldn't be able to control herself and drag Bai Yu back into the secret room again. That would be truly embarrassing!
In the following days, Bai Yu, apart from circulating among Ah Yin, Bibi Dong, and Hu Liena,
spent the rest of his time dealing with Elders and Bishops who came to visit him for various reasons, which truly left him exhausted.
“Whoo-hoo! Finally leaving! Damn it, these past few days have really annoyed me to death. If I stayed any longer, I’d Can't help it curse people out!”
“The reasons these Elders and Bishops have for wanting to see me are truly bizarre, and they can really chat! Each conversation lasts two or three hours!”
At the entrance of Spirit City, Bai Yu looked at the sky, which was just beginning to brighten, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, muttering curses and exclamations.
It had been ten days since Bai Yu went to find Bibi Dong. He had originally planned to stay a few more days, but he couldn't stand it anymore, so he chose to make a run for it this morning!
Beside Bai Yu, Ah Yin squinted and chuckled, finding his jumping-around demeanor quite amusing.
On the other side, Spirit Vulture Douluo had a 'seen it all' expression, and she said as she walked,
“This is all very normal. They aren't familiar with you, and now that they finally got to meet you, they naturally want to find ways to leave a deeper impression on you.”
“But Xiao Yu Didi, where are we going now? And are we just walking there? Should we find a carriage?”
“Don’t you also have your own ceremonial carriage convoy? I’ve never seen you use it. Your convoy is just going to waste.”
Bai Yu rolled his eyes, secretly thinking that this woman talked too much. She was a Titled Douluo; why would she ride a carriage when going out? Wouldn't that be too idle!
“To Heaven Dou City. Taking a carriage wastes too much time. We’ll just fly directly later. Besides, I’m not representing Spirit Hall when I go out, so why would I need a ceremonial carriage convoy!”
Spirit Vulture Douluo chuckled, secretly thinking that teasing Xiao Yu Didi was indeed very interesting!
Seeing Spirit Vulture Douluo's expression, Bai Yu's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit regretful about bringing her along.
Then he sighed, put his arm around Ah Yin, and flew up, saying,
“Let’s go. We need to reach Heaven Dou City before nightfall.”
Spirit Vulture Douluo blinked behind them, secretly lamenting that Xiao Yu Didi was still cuter when he was little; at least he wouldn't run away!
Then, with a stir of her spirit power, she also soared into the air and chased after them.
The three of them sped along, and as the sun was about to set, they finally arrived not far from Heaven Dou City.
“Hmm? Heh heh, interesting!”
During their flight, Bai Yu suddenly noticed that someone was brazenly sensing them, and the sensing contained an inexplicable killing intent.
Bai Yu paused, and after looking at his surroundings, he flew towards a barren mountain and finally landed on it.
Spirit Vulture Douluo had clearly also sensed someone peeking at them, and she followed closely behind Bai Yu, saying with a solemn expression,
“Bai Yu, someone is secretly watching us. You felt it too, right? This person’s strength seems very strong. Should we leave first?”
Hearing Spirit Vulture Douluo's question, Bai Yu waved his hand, a playful smile appearing on his face, and he shouted loudly,
“Your Excellency Tang Hao, it’s been so long, I thought your old injuries had recurred and you had died. I didn’t expect you to still be alive!”
“But since you’re here, why be so sneaky and act like a villain? If you have something to say, why don’t you come out and meet me? We can talk face to face?”
Ever since Tang Hao confirmed that Ah Yin had really been abducted, he returned to Heaven Dou City in a rage, intending to question Ah Yin thoroughly.
But unfortunately, Bai Yu and Ah Yin had not yet returned.
Tang Hao could only forcefully suppress his anger, like a black donkey grinding grain, constantly circling Heaven Dou City, hoping that he could intercept Bai Yu and them.
As the saying goes, where there’s a will, there’s a way. Breaking the cauldrons and sinking the boats, the Qin Pass of a hundred and two li will eventually belong to Chu;
A person with a bitter heart, heaven will not fail them. Sleeping on brushwood and tasting gall, three thousand Yue soldiers can swallow Wu!
Tang Hao's more than ten days of sleeplessness finally brought him an even deeper level of despair.
He personally saw his wife being held in someone else's arms, and not only did she not resist, but her face even showed a hint of happiness!
This scene appearing before his eyes made Tang Hao almost gnash his teeth. He wished he could just jump out and smash that pair of scoundrels to death with a hammer!
But he hesitated for a long time, watching with his own eyes as Bai Yu and the others flew to the barren mountain, and he only followed secretly, not showing himself directly.
Because the rat's personality was truly unbearable. Although his entrance came with a cool BGM, he was actually like a turtle, only retreating into his shell when encountering difficulties.
This could be seen from past events. When Ah Yin died, if he truly loved Ah Yin, he should have found ways to avenge her.
If it was only for the spirit ring, then since the spirit ring was already obtained, he should have healed his injuries as quickly as possible and pursued the peak of Spirit Master, so as not to waste the price he paid.
So no matter what, he shouldn't have been decadent and drunk his days away. It's not like he became a cripple; he was still a Title Douluo at worst.
In this regard, he was even inferior to Yu Xiaogang. Although Yu Xiaogang was a bit of a scoundrel, he had ambition.
Even though he knew he was a good-for-nothing, he still wanted to prove himself. If strength didn't work, then he would switch to another path, to steal and cheat!
