Hello, You're Such a Flirt!

The next day, Feng Baiyu went out shopping with Shui Duanliu.

He would be leaving Spirit City soon, and Feng Baiyu wanted to buy some tasty food before he left.

After all, he had no idea how long he'd be gone this time, so he wanted to prepare in advance.

Feng Baiyu bought plenty of food, all of it Spirit City's specialty snacks. Just as he reached a shop selling candied hawthorns, he spotted Hu Liena again.

Hu Liena was the disciple of Pope Bibi Dong. Previously, she had even traded with Feng Baiyu for a method to improve her physical fitness. She was a genius who had obtained a thousand-year Second Soul Ring.

The moment Feng Baiyu noticed Hu Liena, she noticed him too. She recognized him, naturally: he was the grandson of the Third Offering, and an exceptionally talented genius in his own right.

However, Hu Liena was two years older than Feng Baiyu. She had only obtained her Second Soul Ring a few months ago, and didn't think he could have reached the Soul Grandmaster stage yet.

Seeing him now, she felt a mischievous urge stir inside her.

Hu Liena walked forward and "accidentally" bumped her shoulder against Feng Baiyu.

Feng Baiyu saw through her intentions at a glance and had no plans to dodge. As she bumped into him, he immediately struck back.

"Thud!"

Hu Liena was sent crashing to the ground by Feng Baiyu, and she was dazed for a moment. Was Feng Baiyu made of iron? He was so hard!

Feng Baiyu watched Hu Liena suffer the consequences of her own actions and had no intention of paying her any attention. He looked at the shopkeeper and said, "Make as many candied hawthorns as you can right now. I'll take every last one."

"Of course, Young Master Feng." The shopkeeper felt sorry for Hu Liena, who had fallen over, but she knew it wasn't her place to interfere. Right now, all she cared about were the candied hawthorns. The more she made, the better; then these two walking disasters could leave as soon as possible.

"Hey!" Hu Liena sat on the ground, putting on a pitiful expression. "You hurt me!"

Feng Baiyu couldn't be bothered with her. He took the first candied hawthorn and started eating.

In his eyes, a mere Hu Liena couldn't compare to a single candied hawthorn.

Hu Liena felt like she was batting her eyelashes at a blind man. When Feng Baiyu ignored her, she had no choice but to get up off the ground herself.

Hu Liena refused to give up. She quietly circulated her Soul Power, moved closer to Feng Baiyu, and asked in a voice full of temptation, "Little brother, am I pretty?"

"Heh." Feng Baiyu gave a derisive laugh and reached out with his left hand to grab Hu Liena by the neck. "Little vixen, you're such a flirt."

With that, Feng Baiyu flung Hu Liena to the side.

The one I can't afford to provoke right now is Er Bi Dong. What the hell are you, you flirtatious fox, thinking you can seduce me!

Before long, the shopkeeper had used up all her Soul Power. She handed the candied hawthorns to him, not even daring to bring up the price.

But Feng Baiyu wasn't the sort to take advantage of someone. He paid every coin he owed.

He turned and left, not caring in the slightest whether Hu Liena hated him.

As for whether Hu Liena would dare go to Er Bi Dong and complain?

Feng Baiyu didn't care about that either. If a squabble between children was brought before the adults, the Worship Hall backing him wasn't about to sit idle.

After leaving the candied hawthorn shop, Feng Baiyu continued shopping for other things.

The shopkeeper came out and quietly helped Hu Liena to her feet. She asked worriedly, "Nana, are you all right?"

Hu Liena wasn't injured. She was just upset that she'd been so easily overpowered.

She was a disciple of His Holiness the Pope, and two years older than Feng Baiyu. Yet after a single exchange, he'd beaten her in an instant!

Hu Liena looked in the direction Feng Baiyu had gone and murmured, "Feng Baiyu, is it? This young lady's not letting you off!"

Rather than feeling discouraged after Feng Baiyu defeated her in an instant, Hu Liena felt a fierce desire to fight. She'd thought she was the strongest of the younger generation, but now she'd found herself an opponent.

Unfortunately, Feng Baiyu had never considered Hu Liena an opponent.

In his eyes, Hu Liena was nothing more than a stray dog by the roadside.

After leaving the candied hawthorn shop, Feng Baiyu naturally had to visit the Treasure Pavilion!

The Treasure Pavilion had brought him plenty of good things before, so of course he wanted to take a look before leaving.

"Young Master Feng."

As Feng Baiyu entered, two beast-eared girls bowed to him.

Feng Baiyu glanced at them and gave a slight nod before continuing inside.

The Sixth and Seventh Offerings had given him these two beast-eared girls, but Feng Baiyu hadn't liked them and had sent them back. He hadn't expected them to end up at the Treasure Pavilion.

Once inside the Treasure Pavilion, Feng Baiyu tried his luck at finding a bargain.

And sure enough, he found something new this time!

It wasn't as good as the Gold of Life he'd found before, but it was still an excellent item.

Cold Heart Iron Essence, the hardest metal on Douluo Continent!

Cold Heart Iron Essence cost ten times as much as black iron, and even Gengxin City didn't have much of it. Yet here it was, right in front of Feng Baiyu.

Feng Baiyu vaguely remembered that it was one of the core materials for the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus.

The silver mother of Deep Sea Sunken Silver, the toughest metal on Douluo Continent!

The silver mother of Deep Sea Sunken Silver couldn't be melted by any flame. The only way to forge it was to hammer it into shape by hand.

And this stuff was also one of the main materials for the Pear Blossom Needle of Rainstorm!

Feng Baiyu didn't know how to make the Buddha Fury Tang Lotus or the Pear Blossom Needle of Rainstorm, but seeing these two pieces of metal still tempted him.

Feng Baiyu decided to buy both items for an absurdly low price.

Unfortunately, he wasn't as good at finding bargains as Ning Rongrong. He vaguely remembered that Ning Rongrong had paid for something else, and the shopkeeper had thrown in two of these for free.

But Feng Baiyu didn't mind. If he took these two pieces of metal to Lou Gao, he ought to be able to talk him into something, right?

"Young Master Feng." Just as Feng Baiyu walked out of the Treasure Pavilion, a man in golden armor appeared before him. "The Grand Pontiff requests your presence at the Worship Hall."

"The Grand Pontiff?" Hearing this, Feng Baiyu thought, This is bad.

I wonder which of my secrets has been exposed.

But when Feng Baiyu saw that only a Soul Saint had come to deliver the message, he felt much more at ease.

It probably wasn't the Phoenix God Trial or the Gold of Life.

If it had been either of those, someone of the Offering rank would have come!

Having figured that out, Feng Baiyu said, "Lead the way."

This wasn't Feng Baiyu's first time at the Worship Hall, but he didn't like its solemn, austere atmosphere.

When he arrived today, he was even more surprised than usual.

Normally, he'd be lucky to find half the Offerings there. He hadn't expected every last one of them to be present today!

The seven Offerings stood in orderly formation before the Angel Statue, creating an oppressive atmosphere that weighed on Feng Baiyu.

As he approached, Feng Baiyu saw that his grandfather looked calm. He understood then: there was no danger on this trip! He respectfully greeted the seven men. "Feng Baiyu pays his respects to all seven grandfathers."
