A Promising Candidate for Women's Clothing

The sudden appearance of the three sent Chrysanthemum Douluo's vigilance to its highest level.

After all, as a Titled Douluo, he certainly had plenty of combat experience.

Chrysanthemum Douluo's gaze swept over the three of them.

A handsome young man he didn't recognize, whose looks were very much to his taste.

A woman in a white dress, flawless as an ice goddess.

And a green figure who seemed completely out of place beside them.

This was...

"Old Poison?!"

The moment his gaze fell on Dugu Bo, Chrysanthemum Douluo recognized the man who had once had a falling-out with them and blurted out the words.

"Well, well, Chrysanthemum Guan. Long time no see."

Dugu Bo greeted him teasingly.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's brows twitched with anger.

What he hated most in this life was people calling him Chrysanthemum Guan!

If Dugu Bo had been alone, Chrysanthemum Douluo would surely have made a move and taught him a lesson.

Although much of his extraordinary standing in Spirit Hall came from his Martial Soul Fusion Skill with Ghost Douluo,

his own strength wasn't particularly outstanding among the Titled Douluo.

Still, he was stronger than Dugu Bo, the bottom-ranked Titled Douluo.

In a one-on-one fight, Chrysanthemum Douluo had never feared the old poison.

But there was clearly something off about the man's attitude now.

And he had two people with him whom Chrysanthemum Douluo had never seen before.

The handsome young man was nothing to worry about.

He was only a Soul Elder. Even if there was something unusual about him, he wasn't enough to threaten a Titled Douluo like Chrysanthemum Douluo.

What concerned Dugu Bo was the woman in the white dress, Snow Empress.

He couldn't see through her at all.

He could only sense a deadly threat coming from her.

That feeling was something even Ling Yuan Douluo, the female Titled Douluo of Spirit Hall, had never given him.

Only the Pope, Bibi Dong, had ever made him feel that way...

And even she seemed to fall short of the woman before him.

Which meant...

This mysterious woman in the white dress was very likely a top expert whose strength surpassed even their Pope, Bibi Dong!

That was what Chrysanthemum Douluo feared.

Dugu Bo alone was nothing, but add a top expert stronger than their Pope, Bibi Dong, and things became troublesome.

One wrong move, and he might really die here today.

But Chrysanthemum Douluo couldn't understand.

What had the old poison done to deserve finding a top expert like this, someone who had never appeared on the mainland before?

That was right.

In Chrysanthemum Douluo's mind,

Snow Empress was a helper Dugu Bo had found.

He had brought her to get revenge for the old grudge between them.

Seeing the fear in Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes, Dugu Bo gave a scornful laugh and mocked him:

"Chrysanthemum Guan, all these years later, and you're still such a coward."

"You really do live up to that sissy act of yours."

Although Yu Shuangbai had told him not to make a move right away,

that didn't stop Dugu Bo from taunting Chrysanthemum Douluo a little to get back at him for their old feud.

"Who are you calling a sissy?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo bristled like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

His shrill voice grated on the ears.

He glared viciously at Dugu Bo, his eyes bloodshot.

If he weren't wary of Snow Empress, the mysterious expert, Chrysanthemum Douluo would have already used his Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum to make the old poison pay for those taunts!

"All right, Senior Dugu."

Yu Shuangbai spoke up, stopping Dugu Bo from continuing to mock Chrysanthemum Douluo.

Dugu Bo had also set aside his usual arrogance for Yu Shuangbai, the man who had saved his life.

After giving Chrysanthemum Douluo a cold snort, he stepped behind Yu Shuangbai.

At the sight of this, Chrysanthemum Douluo widened his eyes as if he'd witnessed something unbelievable.

The arrogant old poison was actually listening to a mere Soul Elder?!

As his longtime rival,

Chrysanthemum Douluo knew Dugu Bo's character all too well.

Back then, even when Spirit Hall had tried to pressure and tempt him into joining as an elder, the man had stubbornly refused.

He might have been unpleasant, but Chrysanthemum Douluo had to admit the man had backbone.

He had never imagined that the old poison would treat a young Soul Elder with such respect.

And the mysterious female expert in the white dress had no intention of speaking either.

She seemed to be taking orders from the Soul Elder boy as well.

This made Chrysanthemum Douluo curious about Yu Shuangbai's identity.

Even their Spirit Hall Saintess, Hu Liena, couldn't make Titled Douluo elders treat her this way.

"Young man, who are you?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo narrowed his eyes as he studied Yu Shuangbai.

He seemed to be trying to find something extraordinary about him.

But after looking him over, he found nothing at all.

He could only reach one conclusion:

This kid was extremely handsome. Dressed up, he'd be a stunning beauty—he was a promising candidate for women's clothing!

Luckily, Yu Shuangbai had no idea what Chrysanthemum Douluo was thinking.

Otherwise, he might have abandoned the idea of making a deal.

He would have simply let Dugu Bo and Snow Empress use their superior strength to force Chrysanthemum Douluo to comply.

A warm smile appeared on his handsome face.

He gently laid one hand over his chest and gave a gentlemanly bow.

"I've heard so much about you, Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan."

"I'm Yu Shuangbai, a junior. I've come without an invitation because I'd like to make a deal with you."

Yu Shuangbai's smile was gentle as a flowing stream, and his graceful air naturally inspired goodwill.

Chrysanthemum Douluo was a man who cared about looks.

Even his tone softened without him realizing it:

"Oh?"

"What sort of deal?"

Yu Shuangbai said softly, "I've heard that Chrysanthemum Douluo is a renowned flower enthusiast on the mainland."

"You've studied all kinds of rare and exotic plants across the mainland. Is that true?"

"Of course!" Chrysanthemum Douluo lifted his chin proudly.

What made him prouder than his cultivation as a Titled Douluo was his knowledge of rare and exotic plants.

Across the entire mainland, no one would dare claim to be his equal in this field.

It was a pity that almost no one on the mainland cared about it.

Pope Bibi Dong had even rebuked him for spending too much time on useless pursuits.

This left Chrysanthemum Douluo very dejected.

He felt like a lofty mountain echoed by a flowing stream, yet a kindred spirit was nowhere to be found.

"I'm not bragging, but when it comes to rare flowers and exotic plants, I'd be hard pressed to find my equal anywhere on the mainland!"

Hearing this, Yu Shuangbai continued,

"That's exactly the deal I want to make with Senior Chrysanthemum Douluo."

"I need all the materials you have concerning these rare and exotic plants."

"Oh?" Chrysanthemum Douluo was a little surprised.

He hadn't expected Yu Shuangbai's proposed deal to be about this.

After all, there weren't many people on the mainland interested in rare flowers and exotic plants.

"These are the fruit of my life's work. What can you offer in exchange?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo asked.

But then a flash of white light appeared in Yu Shuangbai's hand, and a large flower appeared in his palm.

Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan's pupils suddenly contracted, and his breathing grew ragged.

Yu Shuangbai's calm voice rang out.

"This flower..."

"Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum."
