Xu Jiawei's True Colors

Lang Ya and Yu Tao felt a chill run from the soles of their feet straight to the top of their heads.

They originally thought that once Xuan Zi was held back by those two old monsters, they could take the opportunity to slip away.

Anyway, Cheng Gang is already dead, and the embryo is still in Bao Liang's hands. They can't possibly out-snatch it from those two old monsters.

But to their utter surprise, Bao Liang's attention shifted to them so quickly.

It was a... suffocating sense of oppression.

It was even more terrifying and chilling than Xuan Zi's aura.

Cold sweat instantly broke out on Lang Ya's forehead.

He originally thought Bao Liang was just a brat from the Sun Moon Empire who relied on external forces to act arrogantly. Even if he had some ability, he was ultimately just an underdeveloped kid.

But now it seems he was wrong, terribly wrong.

This kid... is not Xiao Deng at all!

It's a terrible omen, a terrifying event!

The source of that sense of impending death wasn't Xuan Zi, but rather the boy in front of them, whom they had all subconsciously overlooked!

"Young friend, everything that happened before was a misunderstanding."

Lang Ya forced a smile, a smile that looked worse than a grimace.

"Our Body Sect has no ill intentions, it's just... we've only heard of the appearance of Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo, and we can't help but be somewhat tempted."

"Now that we know it was won by our young friend, we should naturally back down."

"Therefore... we are willing to apologize, and only hope that this matter can be put to rest. What do you think?"

Bao Liang stared at him expressionlessly, his eyes as cold as ice.

"Are you joking at this moment?"

He paused, his tone carrying an undisguised sarcasm.

"However, to give your sect leader some face, you can leave your Storage Soul Tool, and we'll consider this matter closed."

Upon hearing this, Lang Ya did not hesitate at all and immediately threw all the Storage Soul Tool on himself and Yu Tao to Bao Liang.

They didn't believe that Bao Liang, being a member of the Sun Moon Clan, wouldn't know how many Storage Soul Tool they possessed.

Didn't you see that Cheng Gang took out the Storage Soul Tool he had hidden in his pants pocket?

Bao Liang took the Storage Soul Tool, casually flipped through them, and then kept only two, throwing the rest back into Lang Ya's arms.

Lang Ya was taken aback, a hint of confusion and surprise flashing in his eyes.

"You..."

"What? You think it's too much?" Bao Liang raised an eyebrow. "Or do you think I care about your junk?"

Lang Ya was startled and quickly bowed his head and clasped his hands in greeting.

"I wouldn't dare."

"Thank you for your magnanimity, young friend."

He knew that Bao Liang was deliberately saving face for them.

Taking only two items showed their stance without actually causing them to lose everything.

After all, their Body Sect is not to be trifled with. If they are pushed too far, and the sect leader goes berserk, it will not be a good thing for the entire Douluo Continent.

"Walk!"

Lang Ya dared not say another word. He grabbed Yu Tao, who was still somewhat unwilling, turned around, and transformed into two streaks of light, quickly disappearing into the night.

Seeing that Xu Jiujiu was really alright, Xu Jiawei finally relaxed completely.

As for the Starlight Auction destroyed and the houses being bombed... so what? Can he expect the people who were robbed to compensate him?

The fact that nothing has happened for Xu Jiujiu is the best thing.

The future throne of the Star Luo Empire still depends on her.

As for my good-for-nothing sons... well, let's not talk about them.

"Let's go too."

Xu Jiawei gave Bao Liang a deep look, his eyes filled with complex and unfathomable emotions, including apprehension, wariness, and a hint of inexplicable gratitude.

He led Xu Jiujiu and the Titled Douluo of the Star Luo Empire away.

However, before leaving, Xu Jiujiu suddenly stopped.

She turned her head and gave Bao Liang a deep look.

That one glance contained so much.

There was curiosity, a desire to explore, and a hint of... a sense of apprehension that she herself was unaware of.

Bao Liang floated in mid-air with his arms crossed, looking relaxed, meeting her gaze with a faint smile on his lips.

With his current mental state, even without the aid of any Soul Tool, he is able to lock onto any potential threats who might show hostility towards him.

In this situation, if anyone dares to have even the slightest wicked thought, Bao Liang can make them fly away immediately!

This is also why Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin dared to fight in the sky without worry.

Because Bao Liang himself possessed enough power to protect himself, and even to Destruction a country.

Seeing that the battle in the sky had ended, the various forces that had been eyeing the area with predatory intent, no matter how unwilling they were, could only lower their flags and retreat quietly.

Otherwise, once Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, the "Black and White Duo" and "Sun Moon Double Flower Red Sticks," come down, it will be difficult for them to leave.

As the aftershocks of the battle in the sky gradually subsided, two figures descended from the clouds; they were Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin.

Jing Hongchen's hemp robe was torn in several places, and her hair was a mess, but the smile on her face was exceptionally bright.

Ye Yulin remained calm and composed, but the three sets of Sun Moon Divine Needle in her hands were emitting a faint light, clearly indicating that she had just experienced a great battle.

"Thank you so much for your help Grandpa Jing and Grandpa Ye," Bao Liang said with a smile as he went to greet them.

"Why are you being so formal, brat? There's no need for you to be so polite with us." Ye Yulin patted Bao Liang's shoulder forcefully, his tone carrying a hint of displeasure, as if Bao Liang's gratitude was an insult to him.

"Yes, yes!" Bao Liang echoed, a helpless smile on his face.

Jing Hongchen glanced around, and only after confirming that no one else was looking for death did she speak:

"Alright, now that the interlude is over, you should head back now."

"They're still waiting for you at the hotel."

"Okay." Bao Liang nodded.

We really need to go back soon, otherwise they'll probably worry.

Even though Bao Liang can now kill Titled Douluo, isn't it good that someone cares?

Surely no one dislikes being cared for, right?

No way, really?

Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin disappeared into the night once again, continuing to hide in the shadows to protect Bao Liang.

Bao Liang strolled leisurely toward the Star Emperor Hotel, completely ignoring the late-arriving officials from the Star Luo Empire.

It was obvious that Xu Jiawei had brought that group of people over at the last minute. Apart from the few who were in the lead and possessed Soul Power and were clearly earth-attribute Soul Master, the rest were basically ordinary people.

Ha, what a shameless face.

Upon returning to the Star Emperor Hotel, Bao Liang immediately opened the conference room door.

The Sun Moon Team members, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately looked over.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing Bao Liang return safely.

After they left, they also saw the commotion coming from Bao Liang's side.

With the protection of two imperial myths, Jing Hongchen and Ye Yulin, they didn't think Bao Liang would have any safety problems, but they were still somewhat worried.

Seeing him unharmed, everyone was happy for him and proud of the strength of the Sun Moon Empire.

So what if Shrek's Taotie Douluo is like this? Faced with the two top experts of their Sun Moon Empire, he could only obediently endure the beating and then flee in disarray!

Everyone was in a very good mood.

"Bao Liang, you're finally back!" Xiao Hongchen was the first to greet him, putting her arm around his shoulder. "How are you? Did you run into any trouble?"

"What trouble could there be?" Bao Liang smiled. "Just a few fools trying to steal things, I've already taken care of them."

"That's good." Meng Hongchen also came over, her icy blue eyes filled with concern. "Little Baozi, are you alright?"

"What could possibly happen to me?" Bao Liang pinched her cheek. "Your Little Baozi is quite something."

"Alright, alright, stop showing off your love." Xiao Hongchen rolled her eyes, but couldn't hide the smile on her lips. "Let's go, let's go to the top floor! Tonight, the whole bill is on Mr. Bao!"

"No problem!" Bao Liang laughed heartily, "We're drinking until we drop tonight!"

The group chatted and laughed as they walked towards the hotel's rooftop.
