Taken Away for Forced Labor?

Bibi Dong's mouth twitched violently. Based on the Dungeon's description, she had been prepared, but she hadn't expected her own disciple to have one too.

Thinking back on the embarrassing incidents involving herself recorded in the Dungeon, now exposed to her disciple, she was so mortified she wanted to dig herself a three-bedroom apartment on the spot!

She slowly let out a breath and said:

"No need to go yet. There'd be no way to explain it if we did, and that little bastard Bai Yu isn't so simple. Nothing will happen to him."

"His martial soul is still with me. He hasn't summoned it back, which means he was still handling yesterday's fight with ease."

Bibi Dong pulled the Hong Ming Saber, now reduced to the size of an ornament, from the deep valley before her chest. She stroked it with her fingers, her face filled with longing.

Hearing her teacher's words, Hu Liena felt like her brain was no longer working. Why was Bai Yu's martial soul here?

"Teacher, why is his martial soul with you? How is that possible?"

Hu Liena's question brought a hint of curiosity to Bibi Dong's expression. She was equally puzzled by the matter. She shook her head and said uncertainly:

"I don't know how he did it either, but this is the result. He left his martial soul, the Hong Ming Saber, with me!"

"By the way, Nana, why did you get here so quickly? Did you run off to that little bastard's Holy Son's Palace again? I told you not to keep going there. It's not as if you don't have anywhere to live."

Hu Liena looked a little embarrassed. She stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Bibi Dong's arm, speaking in a spoiled tone:

"Oh, Teacher, I used to stay there all the time when Bai Yu hadn't left yet. I'm used to living there now. Even Elder Hall acts like it never sees me there, so don't be so strict, Teacher!"

Watching her foolish disciple cling to her arm and sway it back and forth, Bibi Dong thought to herself:

With that brat's contributions, let alone allowing you to stay at the Holy Son's Palace—even if he said Elder Hall was ugly and wanted to tear it down and rebuild it, those old geezers would nod and say tearing it down was a wonderful idea!

After all, the various resources and knowledge Bai Yu had sent back over the years had greatly benefited the families and relatives behind them.

Then a resentful look flashed through her eyes. Thinking of how that rebellious disciple had a senior sister at home who could offer herself to him at any time, yet still flirted around outside, she wanted nothing more than to give him a ruthless beating.

She turned to Little Fox and snapped irritably:

"Hopeless! Do whatever you want. I can't be bothered to manage you! And don't worry about him. Go back."

Hearing that her teacher had agreed, Hu Liena immediately beamed. She didn't want to be promising—she wanted her junior brother! Then she said sweetly to Bibi Dong:

"Thank you, Teacher! I'll head back first, then. You should rest early too!"

At the Crown Prince's Mansion in Heaven Dou City, Qian Renxue saw Tang Hao's name, and killing intent flashed through her eyes as she muttered:

"Tang Hao! You've finally appeared. I can finally avenge Father's death! But why didn't Bai Yu have someone kill him? And why is he so strong?"

Qian Renxue wore a puzzled expression, unable to understand Bai Yu's explosive growth in strength. Then an inexplicable gleam flashed through her eyes.

As for Bai Yu, he had just finished writing about his battle with Tang Hao in the Chronicle of Time and was preparing to test the Silver Dragon King.

[Rat aside, everything is under control. What surprised me was that the Silver Dragon King actually appeared at noon today. Shouldn't she be recovering at the Lake of Life right now? Why is she here?]

[Whether it was when I treated her injuries in my past life or when she fought alongside me against the Three Gods, she always appeared in her true form. I've never seen her take human form, but I can't be mistaken about that aura. It should be her!]

[Tsk, as expected of the Lord of Spirit Beasts who stands shoulder to shoulder with a God King. That beauty beyond this world after taking human form is simply incredible!]

[Unfortunately, however good our relationship was, that was all in my past life. She doesn't know me now. If I went up and tried to act familiar, she'd probably raise a hand and send me flying.]

At this moment, everyone watching the Dungeon, aside from Gu Yuena, whose lips curved up slightly, widened their eyes in bewilderment. What was the Lord of Spirit Beasts? Since when did Spirit Beasts have a ruler?

At the hotel where the two had encountered each other during the day, Gu Yuena wore a smile as she murmured softly:

"My feelings were right. That power of his, so full of the aura of nature, can indeed suppress and neutralize Asura's power. It seems I need to get to know him again."

"But you need to grow stronger quickly. With only this much power, even if I captured you and made you heal me day and night without stopping, it would still take at least a hundred years."

"Cultivate faster, or I won't be able to resist capturing you! Though capturing you might be good too—it would make you focus on cultivation!"

Gu Yuena's gaze flickered. What should she do if she was starting to want to kidnap someone?

"Ah-choo!"

Bai Yu sneezed violently, and a shiver ran through his body. His eyes widened as he muttered:

"Fuck! What's going on? Has that Silver Dragon King woman set her sights on me? She's not going to rush over here and screw me up, is she? Don't do it, big sis! I didn't say anything bad about you!"

Just as Bai Yu prayed that Gu Yuena would not stir up any trouble for him, there was suddenly a knock on the door.

He let out a breath and calmed his heart, which was practically dancing in his chest. With a wave of his hand, he opened the door and saw Ma Hongjun walk in.

"Hey, Fatty, what happened this time?"

Ma Hongjun rubbed his hands together, wearing a flattering smile as he said to Bai Yu:

"Bai Ge, we're going to take part in a Soul Fight. Come with us!"

"Huh?"

Bai Yu had been thoroughly startled by that ominous premonition earlier, and his thoughts were still somewhat muddled. The question slipped out of his mouth.

"If you're going to do a Soul Fight, then go. Why are you looking for me? It's not like I can fight for you."

Ma Hongjun gave an awkward laugh and said bashfully:

"Hehe, if Bai Ge doesn't come, we'll have to squeeze into the main hall again. Bai Ge, you have a Diamond Medal. If we're stuck in the main hall, wouldn't that make you lose face too?"

Bai Yu's mouth twitched as he stared blankly at Ma Hongjun. Then he slapped him hard on the shoulder twice and laughed in exasperation.

"Ha, fine! I'll take this face. Let's go!"

Ma Hongjun followed behind Bai Yu with his teeth bared in pain. Those two slaps had nearly shattered him. He was filled with resentment, thinking, No wonder they all made me come. They screwed me over!

A while later, everyone except the miserly Flender and the three girls, including Zhu Zhuqing, had gathered in the private room, waiting for the Soul Fight to begin.

"Don't even mention the Dean. He definitely went to place bets again. Little Cat and the other two girls haven't come either? Where did they run off to?"

Bai Yu looked around before asking Zhao Wuji in confusion.

Zhao Wuji scratched his head and said helplessly:

"Who knows? Just now, that little girl Ning Rongrong dragged the other two back to their room. They were acting all mysterious, and I have no idea what they went to do. But they said they'd come later, so it shouldn't delay the Soul Fight."

Just as the Shrek group was preparing to register for the Soul Fight, Bai Yu happened to write about his noon encounter with Gu Yuena.

Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu looked surprised and curious. Then they turned toward Zhu Zhuqing and found an expression of sudden realization on her face.
