Xiao Wu: I'll Still Grow

"With the help of the Eight Desolations Heart-Suppressing Grass and the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, I had no idea how many times stronger my body had become than before. As for the Nine Heavens Thunder Lotus, I still didn't know what its effects were... but at least it couldn't do any harm."

Chu Bai walked over to Dugu Bo with great satisfaction.

Just then, Dugu Bo woke up as well. His face was flushed red as he said excitedly, "It really has brought the poison in my body under control!"

"This old man will not go back on his word either. From today onward, I shall join Spirit Hall."

Naturally, Chu Bai was very pleased that Dugu Bo had agreed so readily. He immediately said to him, "After this, you only need to use your Soul Power to guide the poison within your granddaughter's body into a soul bone."

"Thank you, Holy Son." Dugu Bo promptly changed the way he addressed him.

Chu Bai then said, "Now that matters here have been settled, Senior Poison Douluo, I'll have to trouble you to use your poison arts to seal off the entire area around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"These Immortal Herbs cannot survive once removed from this environment, so we can only let them keep growing here."

However, Dugu Bo shook his head at those words.

"Holy Son, there is no need to worry. This old man possesses an item that can store living things."

Dugu Bo took out a pouch and said to Chu Bai, "This pouch is called the As-You-Wish Hundred Treasures Pouch."

Chu Bai was delighted. He had nearly forgotten that Dugu Bo had such a fine thing as the As-You-Wish Hundred Treasures Pouch. Since that was the case, he no longer held back and directly packed up everything here to take with him.

Even if Tang San found this place, he would probably only be able to come here for a soak in the hot springs.

Chu Bai then left Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo also returned to his granddaughter. However, Chu Bai had already told him that he could seek him out at any time if anything came up.

After returning to his residence in Heaven Dou City, Chu Bai lay on his bed and began writing today's diary.

[That damn Tang Hao wanted to kill me. Good thing Bibi Dong showed up in time, or with my current strength, I probably would have been in grave danger. Though I have no idea how Bibi Dong happened to arrive at just the right moment... could it be because I'm too handsome, and she couldn't stop worrying about me?]

[If Tang Hao hadn't used Exploding Ring, I definitely would have killed that bastard. Him, a Lord of the Plane? His wife died, and he spends all day drinking while making his several-year-old son cook for him. Isn't he just begging to be beaten up?]

[Good thing Ah Yin is gone now. If she were still around, Tang Hao would probably have angered her to death. She sacrificed herself so you could live well with Tang San, yet you made Tang San take care of you instead. If I were Tang San, I'd put some poison in your bowl no matter what.]

In Spirit City, Bibi Dong's mouth twitched.

She had never known Chu Bai was this narcissistic before.

Still, it had to be said that Chu Bai's looks were absolutely top-tier.

Inside the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace, Qian Renxue complained, "How does this guy manage to be both perverted and narcissistic? Still, when I saw him earlier, he really was much more handsome than when I saw him as a child."

[The more Tang Hao wants to kill me, the more I want to target his precious son. Now that I've recruited Dugu Bo, a Titled Douluo, and taken all the Immortal Herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, let's see what Tang San can do.]

"Recruited Dugu Bo?"

Bibi Dong's expression shifted slightly, and a faint smile appeared on her exquisite face.

Could this be the surprise Chu Bai had mentioned giving her before?

Recruiting a Titled Douluo for Spirit Hall was immensely significant. Even Spirit Hall did not have many Titled Douluos. Though she was curious how Chu Bai had accomplished it, she did not particularly care.

After all, even something like the Diary Instance had appeared. What else was there that she could not believe?

"Tang Hao... Ah Yin... sacrifice..."

At Shrek Academy, Xiao Wu lay in bed, pale-faced and unable to sleep.

She understood what Chu Bai meant. Tang San's mother had actually been a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast as well, and she had once sacrificed herself for Tang Hao! Chu Bai had also said that she, Daming, and Erming would sacrifice themselves for Tang San in the future. This terrified her, and she completely resolved to leave Tang San!

"Could it be that Tang Hao knows who I am but has not attacked me because he wants me to become Tang San's soul bone in the future..."

She had been giving Tang San the cold shoulder for two days. During those two days, she had not said a single word to him. Although Tang San had come to apologize, he had always found nothing but empty air.

[Now that I'm back in Heaven Dou City, it's time to go see that trash Yu Xiaogang. Honestly, I'm rather looking forward to seeing what Yu Xiaogang looks like. No need to guess—he's definitely some sleazy middle-aged uncle. If I remember correctly, he should still be near Suotuo City.]

[But that doesn't seem right either. A beauty like Bibi Dong definitely wouldn't fall for someone with terrible looks. Or was she really blinded by love? Man, I just can't figure it out. Why did she fall for Yu Xiaogang?]

[Once I cripple Yu Xiaogang and make Bibi Dong give up on him, won't she be able to fall for me? I believe in fair competition, after all. I still respect Yu Xiaogang very much.]

Looking at those words, Bibi Dong could not help saying, "Come to think of it, I should thank Xiao Bai. If it weren't for him, I probably would still be unable to see Yu Xiaogang's true colors."

"As for falling in love with him..." Bibi Dong's expression turned somewhat strange.

She admitted that Chu Bai was indeed outstanding and exceptionally handsome. He could absolutely be considered one of the finest among the younger generation.

But could she truly take that step and fall in love with her own student?

The relationship between teacher and student had once cut deeply into Bibi Dong's heart, completely killing the innocent, naïve girl she had once been.

[As for Qian Renxue... hmm... that's hard to put into words...]

Qian Renxue, who had been reading the diary with relish, was instantly displeased.

What did he mean, hard to put into words?

"Wait, does this guy have some kind of problem with me? With Bibi Dong, it's hoping she falls for him, but for me, it's hard to put into words? How am I inferior to Bibi Dong?"

"The next time we meet, I'll make sure this guy suffers. Am I really worse than Bibi Dong? Am I not worthy of falling for you, Chu Bai?"

The moment the words left her mouth, Qian Renxue realized something was wrong. Her face immediately flushed red, and she cursed Chu Bai hundreds of times in her heart.

[As for Xiao Wu... I'll probably have to take things slowly with her. While her relationship with Tang San isn't that close yet, I should get her to dump Tang San as soon as possible. She may be a little small now, but maybe she'll grow bigger later?]

[Someone like Qian Renxue is just right. Bibi Dong's are a little too big, but I like them.]

Qian Renxue: "..."

Bibi Dong: "..."

Xiao Wu held them up and then said, "I can still grow in the future!"
