Just as Demon Bear Douluo was being brutally beaten, a flurry of hurried footsteps suddenly echoed from outside the tea house.
A lean man hurried into the tea house, and the moment he stepped through the doorway, he witnessed this shocking scene.
This person was none other than Ghost Leopard Douluo, whom Demon Bear had invited to listen to stories and chat.
They had originally agreed to come here to pass the time together, but Ghost Leopard Douluo had been delayed by some matters he needed to handle.
As a result, the moment he arrived, he saw this tragic sight!
"What the hell! Old Bear!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo's eyes widened as he watched Demon Bear Douluo being pinned to the ground and violently pummeled; he was completely stunned.
That was the level 94 Demon Bear Douluo!
A renowned tough guy in the Spirit Hall Elder Council!
Yet now, he was being pinned to the ground and thrashed by both Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo, his screams enough to break the heart and draw tears from any listener.
"Don't go for my crotch!"
"If you've got the guts, fight me one-on-one!"
"I was wrong! Isn't it enough that I admit I was wrong?!"
Demon Bear Douluo's pleas for mercy echoed through the tea house, but Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo showed no intention of stopping.
Ghost Leopard Douluo's body began to tremble slightly.
It wasn't out of fear, but anger!
At this moment, Ghost Leopard Douluo had already put his clever little brain to work and instantly guessed the "truth"!
It must be because everyone mocked Chrysanthemum Douluo for daydreaming when he brought up that nonsense Maple Dye Pavilion Restaurant during the meeting this morning.
That old guy was now so embarrassed that he had flown into a rage and brought his old flame, Ghost Douluo, to take revenge!
How f*cking cunning!
The two of them already had higher soul power levels than the others, yet they were still ganging up two-on-one while everyone was separated!
Especially Ghost Douluo—those dirty moves aimed at the lower body made Ghost Leopard Douluo's scalp tingle just looking at them!
"This is too much!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
Even if you two are strong, you can't just bully people like this!
Besides, even if Demon Bear had a sharp tongue, he hadn't offended them to this extent, had he?
Just then, Demon Bear Douluo finally spotted him.
"Ghost Leopard! Help me!"
While being pummeled, Demon Bear Douluo cried out to Ghost Leopard Douluo for help.
"I don't know what kind of madness these two lunatics have caught!"
"Come and help!"
The Ghost-Chrysanthemum duo followed Demon Bear Douluo's gaze and saw Ghost Leopard Douluo.
A look of pleasant surprise immediately appeared on both their faces.
"Yo! Ghost Leopard is here too!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo stopped his movements and pointed an orchid-fingered hand at Ghost Leopard Douluo.
"Perfect, we can take him too!"
Ghost Douluo's eyes also lit up, and he released Demon Bear Douluo's collar.
"Great! Another leek for the senior!"
"No, wait—another guest!"
But in Ghost Leopard Douluo's eyes, this was nothing but a sinister grin before a beating!
Holy crap!
These two aren't even going to let me off?!
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo was just about to roll up his sleeves and step forward to help, but the next second, he chickened out.
Pah! That wasn't chickening out; that was being rational!
If the power-attack type Demon Bear Douluo, who was so good at fighting, was being pinned to the ground and thrashed, wouldn't he just be serving himself up on a platter with his thin arms and legs?
Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!
"Time to bail!"
Ghost Leopard Douluo turned and bolted, his speed as fast as a rabbit.
"Ghost Leopard! You get back here!"
Chrysanthemum Douluo watched Ghost Leopard Douluo's rabbit-like escape speed and immediately grew anxious.
These were all Senior Lin's guests, damn it!
Not a single one could be missing!
Without a word, Chrysanthemum Douluo charged straight out.
Seeing Chrysanthemum Douluo's actions, the customers in the Tea House were stunned.
"Holy crap, what is Elder Chrysanthemum doing?"
"Chasing a man, what else?"
"Huh? But isn't Elder Chrysanthemum a pair with Elder Ghost?"
The Tea House was instantly filled with chatter, and all sorts of strange speculations flew about.
Ghost Douluo watched Chrysanthemum Douluo's retreating figure, instinctively wanting to follow and help.
But just as he took a step, he suddenly remembered he still had to deliver Demon Bear to Maple Dye Pavilion to spend money.
Senior Lin was still waiting for the leeks... no, waiting for the guests!
So, Ghost Douluo turned back around.
As a result, the moment he turned, he witnessed a rather spectacular scene.
He saw Demon Bear Douluo hunched over, his hands clutching his crotch tightly, limping toward the back door of the Tea House.
His cautious demeanor was just like a thief.
Clearly, he was trying to sneak away while neither of them was paying attention.
Ghost Douluo's eyes turned dangerous in an instant.
"Old Bear~"
His voice was light and airy, but to Demon Bear Douluo's ears, it was more terrifying than the call of the Grim Reaper.
Demon Bear Douluo shuddered, his body stiffening like a rock.
But he had no choice!
That barrage of ghost claws from Ghost Douluo earlier had nearly shredded his manhood!
It was still throbbing with pain down there!
"Old Ghost, I was wrong!"
Demon Bear Douluo instantly caved, though his right hand instinctively rose into a fist, assuming a defensive stance.
However, his left hand remained firmly guarding his crotch, clearly still traumatized by Ghost Douluo's ghost claws.
"I really know I was wrong!"
"Just tell me what you want, I'll cooperate!"
"But can you please stop going for my crotch?"
Demon Bear Douluo's voice carried a sob; he was truly aggrieved.
He was a level 94 Titled Douluo, for heaven's sake!
Being pinned to the ground and beaten was one thing, but to be specifically targeted in the lower regions!
If this got out, how could he, Demon Bear Douluo, ever show his face in Spirit Hall again?
Ghost Douluo looked at Demon Bear Douluo's conflicted expression—wanting to resist yet terrified of another crotch-grab—and found it inexplicably amusing.
"Old Bear, don't be nervous."
Ghost Douluo's tone softened slightly.
"We really didn't come here just to beat you up."
"There is truly a massive opportunity waiting for you!"
Demon Bear Douluo rolled his eyes on the spot.
"Old Ghost, if you say there's an opportunity, then show me some proof!"
He clutched his crotch, looking entirely unconvinced.
"Based on the way you two were acting earlier, I'd believe you if you said you were taking me to my death!"
Ghost Douluo slapped his forehead, suddenly remembering he had forgotten the most important part: showing off the soul bone.
"Right! Proof!"
Ghost Douluo's eyes lit up, and he instinctively reached into his Storage Soul Tool to pull out that 80,000-year Hell Ghost Shadow Left Arm Bone.
But just as he prepared to whip out his prized treasure for Demon Bear to see, he suddenly realized everyone in the tea house was watching them.
This made Ghost Douluo grow a bit wary.
It wasn't that he feared the soul bone would be stolen; with his strength as a level 95 Titled Douluo, who among those present would dare to act out?
He was worried about something else entirely.
If word of this were to spread, and these low-quality "leeks" in the vicinity all swarmed to Maple Dye Pavilion only to find they couldn't even cough up the Gold Soul Coins, that would be a disaster!
After all, these fellows who spent their days doing nothing but drinking tea and listening to tunes didn't look like the type who could afford the prices at Maple Dye Pavilion.
If they went there just to gawk and ended up angering Senior Lin, what then?
In that case, he, Gui Mei, would have failed Senior Lin Feng, who had shown him such immense kindness!
Thinking of this, Ghost Douluo's gaze turned dangerous in an instant.
He swept his eyes across the patrons in the teahouse, and under his stare, they all lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't seen a thing.
"Old Bear, come out with me!"
Ghost Douluo lowered his voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable authority.
"Some things are not meant to be displayed here."
Demon Bear Douluo was taken aback, but he still obediently followed him out.
In the alley outside the teahouse, Ghost Douluo looked left and right, and only after confirming there were no outsiders did he carefully retrieve that spirit bone from his Storage Soul Tool.
"Holy crap!"
