"But on another note."
Dugu Bo furrowed his brow slightly, thought for a moment, and then said to Zhuge Lan:
"Having a Title Douluo like me as your bodyguard, I can't just do it for free, right? I need some kind of salary, don't you think?"
After saying this, Dugu Bo pretended to close his eyes, seemingly leisurely, but actually peeking at Zhuge Lan, a hint of expectation in his eyes.
Zhuge Lan was such a clever person, he naturally saw through Dugu Bo's thoughts.
However.
He didn't expose him, but just slightly raised the corners of his mouth, pretending to be nonchalant, and talking to Bai Chenxiang.
Bai Chenxiang was amused by Zhuge Lan's words and giggled, the two of them seemed completely immersed in their own world, leaving Dugu Bo aside.
However, Dugu Bo's words were heard by the Baihe Clan Leader, who was afraid that Dugu Bo would go back on his word.
He hurriedly walked forward in three steps, his expression respectful, and his tone sincere as he said:
"Mr. Dugu Bo, please feel free to mention anything you need. As long as it is something our Minzhi Clan possesses or can obtain, we, the Minzhi Clan, will spare no effort and use the strength of the entire clan to strive for it for Mr. Dugu Bo!"
Dugu Bo was slightly embarrassed when he saw the Baihe Clan Leader saying these words with such sincerity.
He thought to himself:
What could you possibly have that I want? What I want is the treasure in that kid Zhuge Lan's clothes!
But he naturally couldn't say these words, and could only feel frustrated in his heart.
On the surface, Dugu Bo still maintained a smile and said to the Baihe Clan Leader:
"Ah, no, no, there's nothing I need."
He politely declined the Baihe Clan Leader's kindness, and at the same time turned his head to glance at Zhuge Lan.
In this glance, there was both helplessness and a hint of blame.
Unexpectedly, Zhuge Lan was actually smirking…
His smile seemed to be mocking Dugu Bo for having his little thoughts exposed but unable to succeed.
Zhuge Lan's smile was as bright as the sun, but it made Dugu Bo even more depressed.
Dugu Bo snorted softly and turned his head to the side, no longer looking at Zhuge Lan.
The Baihe Clan Leader stood aside, somewhat at a loss. He looked at Dugu Bo, then at Zhuge Lan, not knowing how to break the awkward situation.
Bai Chenxiang's lively eyes turned, and she saw the awkward scene.
She pouted slightly, her cheeks flushed with a faint blush, her appearance charming and endearing.
She gently pushed Zhuge Lan's arm and said coquettishly:
"What are you doing? You always tease people like this. Now it's good, you've made everyone embarrassed. Go and resolve it quickly!"
Zhuge Lan was stunned by Bai Chenxiang's push, and then, seeing Bai Chenxiang's slightly blaming eyes, his heart warmed.
He smiled and said to Bai Chenxiang:
"Alright, alright, I'll listen to you."
Bai Chenxiang slightly raised her chin and said playfully:
"Then hurry up and go."
Her eyes were filled with a hint of expectation, and a bit of playfulness.
She folded her hands in front of her chest, slightly turned her body, and a light purple dress fluttered gently in the wind, like a blooming flower. Her black and shiny long hair also swayed slightly, emitting a charming glow.
Zhuge Lan shook his head helplessly, then cleared his throat and looked at Dugu Bo and the Baihe Clan Leader. A sincere smile appeared on his face as he said:
"Clan Leader Baihe, we understand your intentions. Senior Dugu is just joking, don't take it to heart."
The Baihe Clan Leader quickly said: "It is our honor that Mr. Dugu Bo can work for our Minzhi Clan. As long as Mr. Dugu Bo has any needs, our Minzhi Clan will definitely go all out."
Zhuge Lan nodded with a smile, then looked at Dugu Bo again and said:
"Oh, Old Poison, don't be angry. I know you're a Title Douluo working as a bodyguard for us, I'm making you feel wronged."
Dugu Bo snorted when he heard Zhuge Lan's words and said:
"Hmph, you little brat actually knows."
But his expression had eased a lot.
Dugu Bo narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Hmph, then tell me, little brat, how are you going to repay me?"
Zhuge Lan thought for a moment and said:
"Hmm… then I'll treat you to a meal? Go to a restaurant? Or eat my tomato scrambled eggs?"
It was that familiar routine again…
"You!"
Dugu Bo was so angry that he couldn't speak.
"Alright, alright, who doesn't know what you're thinking, it's almost written all over your face."
Zhuge Lan joked.
"After their competition is over, I'll give you one, you are my eyes, okay?"
Only then did Dugu Bo show a satisfied smile, but he immediately restrained it.
Pretending to give Zhuge Lan a way out, he said: "That's more like it."
He was already overjoyed in his heart.
Seeing Dugu Bo's smug look, Zhuge Lan was also speechless for a while.
Bai Chenxiang saw that the situation had eased, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a sweet smile.
She walked to Zhuge Lan's side and said softly:
"That's more like it, you're not allowed to be so naughty in the future."
Zhuge Lan looked at Bai Chenxiang dotingly, pinched her fair and tender little face, and said:
"Got it~"
As time passed.
On the streets at night, the lights were dim.
Having received Zhuge Lan's promise, Dugu Bo returned home, lay on the bed, a happy smile on his face, and soon fell into a dream.
When the first ray of sunlight shone on his face through the crack in the curtains, a new day had arrived.
In a corner of the Douluo Continent, within the territory of the Minzhi Clan, the atmosphere was tense and full of anticipation.
A thrilling "Phantom Chase" was about to begin.
Bai Chenxiang slightly opened her eyes, raised her hands and stretched greatly, breathing in the fresh morning air, feeling much more comfortable.
She turned her head to look at Zhuge Lan, only to see Zhuge Lan with his back to her, embracing his big bed in a "big" shape.
His head was deeply buried in the pillow. Snoring rose and fell, like a charge horn on the battlefield, each sound louder than the last.
Bai Chenxiang couldn't help but laugh, feeling both amused and speechless.
"Get up! Lazy pig."
Bai Chenxiang said softly and gently in Zhuge Lan's ear.
Zhuge Lan struggled to turn his body over, his eyes tightly closed, his brows slightly furrowed, and an unwilling expression on his face.
Subsequently.
His body was like being glued to the bed, motionless, and he fell into a deep sleep again.
Bai Chenxiang was also amused by Zhuge Lan's series of reactions and chuckled.
"Hurry up and get up!"
"The drawing for the competition is about to begin."
"We have to go see who Pei Xijun is drawn to be in a group with."
Bai Chenxiang continued to try to wake Zhuge Lan.
"Um… okay…"
Zhuge Lan made a vague sound, but he remained unmoved, lying there without any reaction.
His eyelids were as heavy as if they were hung with lead weights, unable to open no matter what.
Seeing that he was still lying in bed, Bai Chenxiang became angry.
She lifted Zhuge Lan's quilt, and then in one step, she rode on Zhuge Lan's body…
