Before long, a dazzling sword light shot into the sky, transforming into a tall figure that landed before Ning Rongrong. Though he was an old man, he was broad-built and full of vigor.
"Grandpa Jian!"
Ning Rongrong's eyes immediately reddened as she recounted what had just happened.
"What? Shrek Academy has some nerve. Don't cry, Rongrong. Grandpa Jian will take you there to settle the score!"
Chen Xin said in a deep voice. He then looked at Chu Bai and Dugu Bo beside her. "Chu Bai, it's been a long time. I also have the two of you to thank for protecting Rongrong just now. I, Chen Xin, owe you both a favor!"
"I'm taking Rongrong to Shrek Academy now, so I won't keep catching up with you. If you ever need help in the future, just come find me, Chen Xin!"
"How dare Flender bully the little princess of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Does he have a death wish?"
With that, Chen Xin took Ning Rongrong and turned into a streak of sword light as they departed.
"Hahaha, I hope those people can survive today." Dugu Bo could not help laughing. Offending a level ninety-six Titled Douluo was no laughing matter. Whether Shrek Academy could even stay open was now in question.
"Not our problem. By the way, Old Poison, what did you come to see me about?" Chu Bai asked.
"I went to Heaven Dou Royal Academy today to see my precious granddaughter and helped her control the poison in her body. Just as you said, Young Master, the poison in her body has already been initially contained. Next, we only need to find a suitable soul bone to resolve it completely."
Dugu Bo spoke with a smile. His granddaughter's problem had been solved, which finally put his mind at ease.
"Uh, did you come all this way just to thank me?"
Chu Bai looked oddly at him. He had made a special trip just for that?
"Why not? As long as my granddaughter's life is no longer in danger, what's wrong with this old man making a trip? It seems my choice wasn't wrong after all."
Dugu Bo laughed. Thankfully, he had not fallen out with Chu Bai. It seemed he had chosen the broader road after all—he was an angel investor now, wasn't he?
"Suotuo City is fairly close to here. How about we go take a look tonight?" Chu Bai and Dugu Bo changed direction, arriving in Suotuo City shortly afterward.
This place was nowhere near as prosperous as Heaven Dou City, and there were not many people on the streets.
"Holy Son, you knew that little girl was a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast in human form? I thought you didn't know and wanted to remind you."
Dugu Bo was somewhat helpless. He had thought he could help Chu Bai discover a hundred-thousand-year soul ring and soul bone, but Chu Bai did not want them himself.
"I did know."
Chu Bai sighed, then smiled. "If she hadn't taken human form, I naturally wouldn't have let her go. This world has always been one where the strong devour the weak. But since she has chosen to become human, then she is a true human, regardless of whether she has entered the mature stage."
"Besides, I may not lack hundred-thousand-year soul rings in the future."
Dugu Bo gave an embarrassed laugh.
Hundred-thousand-year soul rings, and he would not lack them?
Did he think hundred-thousand-year soul rings grew like cabbages by the roadside?
"But what the Holy Son says does make sense. If she were a soul beast, I wouldn't feel burdened about taking action. But if she's a human little girl, killing her really would make me feel uncomfortable, haha."
"Perhaps it's because I have a granddaughter too."
Chu Bai did not deny it. "Perhaps. But in the end, this world is one where the strong prey on the weak. Everything is destined to be madness."
"Even if someone wants to kill her, it would be only natural. Only by possessing sufficient strength can one eliminate such threats."
After casually finding a place to stay, Chu Bai continued today's Roast Diary.
At the same time, Bibi Dong, Qian Renxue, and Xiao Wu seemed to have been waiting in anticipation. They were all looking forward to seeing what today's diary would contain. Over the past few days, waiting for the diary to update seemed to have become a fixed part of their daily routine...
They were just like readers waiting for an author who had gone on hiatus to update...
[Today, I finally got to meet Yu Xiaogang. Good lord, I feel like the word "sleazy" was invented specifically for him. Bibi Dong really must have been blind in her youth.]
[But this guy really is exactly as I imagined. The moment we met, he started questioning my soul rings, then brought up his theories. He even decided that I have Twin Martial Souls?]
[Although I really do have Twin Martial Souls, that doesn't stop me from mocking him. He takes his theories way too seriously. Any soul master with even a bit of real strength knows that bullshit theory of his. He just patched bits and pieces together and made it his own theory. A level twenty-nine Soul Grandmaster being able to perceive the cultivation methods of Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo is seriously ridiculous.]
"Pfft, what kind of immortal is this Yu Xiaogang? Hearing Chu Bai describe him, I want to meet him too."
"And he even had Bibi Dong hopelessly captivated when she was young. If I get the chance, I absolutely have to see what kind of immortal he is."
Qian Renxue could not help laughing.
This Yu Xiaogang... really isn't a good person. Now that I think about it, neither he nor Tang San, that pair of master and disciple, is any good...
Xiao Wu thought to herself.
Knowing her identity, Chu Bai had told the Titled Douluo not to attack her and respected her decision to become human. Yet the future Tang San had already known her identity and still brought her around to compete everywhere without giving her even a single warning.
In comparison, Tang San was instantly sentenced to death in Xiao Wu's heart...
Zhu Zhuqing, beside Xiao Wu, also remained silent. With Ning Rongrong gone from the dormitory, it really did feel somewhat desolate.
Zhu Zhuqing was also questioning herself. Was there still any need for her to remain at this academy? Dai Mubai now gave her nothing but endless disappointment.
"Flender, come out!"
Suddenly, a mighty voice rang out, echoing over the entire Shrek Academy. Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing exchanged looks, then both went to the window. They saw a dazzling sword light appear in the distance, followed by Chen Xin descending upon the place.
Meanwhile, Bibi Dong looked at Chu Bai's mockery of Yu Xiaogang. After a moment of silence, she finally let out a sigh.
"I never expected him to become like this. I truly was naive when I was young, to have actually fallen in love with someone like him..."
Anger surfaced in Bibi Dong's eyes.
She simply stopped thinking about Yu Xiaogang. She and Yu Xiaogang no longer had even the slightest connection, nor would they have any in the future. Perhaps the Yu Xiaogang she had loved in her youth had already died alongside her former naive self.
"Twin Martial Souls... How is that possible..." Bibi Dong cried out in shock. She had watched Chu Bai grow up over the past six years. How could he possibly have a Second Martial Soul?
[Tang San's martial soul was shattered. He probably won't be able to get out of bed anytime soon. If I had the strength to contend against the Asura God right now, that earlier strike would have completely crippled his Clear Sky Hammer.]
