Looking into the little wildcat's determined yet pleading eyes, Bai Yu smiled and said softly:
"I didn't say I was stopping you, I was just asking what you learned from this battle."
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, her beautiful big eyes brightened, and she stared straight at the Bai Yu with a smile on her face.
"Now I finally understand why, when we first met, you said that if those people wanted to kill me, I wouldn't live past a single breath!"
"Only after experiencing real fighting did I realize how ridiculous my initial escape was. My sister..."
Bai Yu pinched Zhu Zhuqing's cheek, which was showing a sad smile, got up, took out a towel, wet it in the stone basin, and wiped her again.
"Don't think too much. When you become strong, everything in the world will be beautiful. The hardships of the past are just a little bit of hardship."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's words, Zhu Zhuqing's distress gradually dissipated, and a smile as radiant as the morning sun bloomed on her face, making her feel as if she had been reborn.
Then, with a look of doubt and some dissatisfaction in her eyes, she asked Bai Yu:
"Since you don't object to my cultivation, why did you arrange this trial?"
After cleaning the bloodstains from Zhu Zhuqing, Bai Yu took out some medicine and bandages and began to bandage her wounds, saying as she applied the medicine:
"Tsk, kitten, all your nutrients have gone to your chest, not a single one for your brain. When have I ever objected to your cultivation? If I really objected, I wouldn't have given you so many good things."
"This trial is only to temper your mind. A high-level Soul Master is not the same as a strong person! A strong person is strong in their state of mind. Even if you are scared today, I can still help you cultivate to the Titled Douluo level. Your thinking was wrong from the beginning."
Hearing Bai Yu indirectly say that she was all looks and no brains, Zhu Zhuqing gritted her teeth, rolled her eyes, angrily turned her face to the side, and muttered under her breath.
"If you don't like it, don't look at it or touch it. You always say others are stubborn, but your mouth doesn't think the same way your hands and eyes do."
Hearing the little wildcat's complaint, Bai Yu looked a little embarrassed. He quickly finished bandaging her wound, stood up, and released his fifth soul skill, saying in a detached tone:
"Well, the wound is all treated. You should rest well. I'll come to treat you every hour. You'll be almost fully recovered by tomorrow. I'll be leaving now."
After saying that, Bai Yu quickly left, walked outside the door, clasped his hands together, and muttered to himself.
"Disobedient and useless! Now you've been caught red-handed, haven't you? But you feel good to touch, it's a pity you're too young, you'll have to raise you for another two years."
(TL: if it isn't clear here, he's talking to his hands cause he was touching her tits as he was bandaging her, then he talks about zhuqing)
"Speaking of which, we're going to Tiandou City soon. I wonder how Little Angel has been doing these past few years. I'll go and see her then."
He then went to another room and began to use his soul skills to heal the others.
After treating everyone, just as Bai Yu was about to find a place to rest for a while, Ning Rongrong walked over with a pale face.
"Thank you for today, otherwise I might have died here."
Bai Yu looked at Ning Rongrong, who was terrified and dejected, and reached out to ruffle her smooth, long hair, comforting her:
"It's alright, don't be afraid. I told you I'd make sure you didn't die. I always keep my word. Remember this lesson: you can't be sure you're safe until you see the bodies."
(TL: that's why you double tap)
Ning Rongrong was surprisingly well-behaved. She didn't get angry when Bai Yu patted her head. She just looked at Bai Yu and nodded seriously.
"I understand, but thank you anyway. I need to go take care of Xiao Wu. I'll leave Zhuqing to you. I'll be going now."
Watching Ning Rongrong's retreating figure, Bai Yu nodded, a smile displaying on his lips as he muttered to himself:
"It seems they've realized that the outside world isn't home; people can die outside."
…
The next day at noon, apart from Dai Mubai, who still needed to rest due to his injuries, the others, although not fully recovered, were already able to move around normally. So, they decided to go to Tiandou City to find a healing soul master to completely cure their injuries.
With Bai Yu carrying Zhu Zhuqing, Liu Erlong carrying Xiao Wu and Ning Rongrong, and Tang San and the others being led by Flender and the others, the group flew towards Tian Dou City.
In the evening, at Blue Tyrant Academy, after treatment by the academy's teachers, the group had almost fully recovered.
Bai Yu chatted with Zhu Zhuqing for a while, and after she returned to her room, he slipped away and headed towards the Crown Prince's residence.
Arriving at the Crown Prince's residence, Bai Yu smiled and concealed his aura, drifting inside like a gentle breeze.
'Xue Qinghe' was still awake at this time, sitting on the edge of her bed in her sleeping quarters, carefully looking at some documents.
After a while, she put down the file in her hand, stretched, and glanced at it out of the corner of her eye. Her pupils suddenly contracted, and her body instinctively caused golden flames to ignite in her palms, which she then struck at the bed behind her.
"Smack!"
The sound of two palms clapping rang out, but because the Bai Yu was intentionally controlling it, it did not cause any damage to the surrounding area.
"Little angel, is this how you welcome an old friend? Starting a fight right away, that's a bit much!"
Only then did Qian Renxue realize who was lying on her bed. She let out a breath, suppressed her pounding heart, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.
The two elders, Serpent Spear and Porcupine, who were guarding outside, rushed in upon sensing Qian Renxue's soul power fluctuations.
Upon entering the room, they saw their young master standing in front of the bed, her chest heaving violently, her face alternating between pale and red, while Bai Yu was half-lying on the bed with a carefree smile on his face.
This bizarre scene made their expressions turn strange. What was going on? After exchanging a glance, they said in unison:
"Greetings, Your Holiness. When did Your Holiness arrive? Young Master, what happened just now?"
"It's nothing, you can go out now."
Before Bai Yu could speak, Qian Renxue waved her hand, signaling the two of them to leave.
"Yes, young master!"
The snake spear and the porcupine exchanged another glance, turned around and quickly left the room. They were both ancestral beings, so who cared what they were displaying!
"And you, get out of here too!"
The little angel, in the form of Xue Qinghe, had an icy expression, like a glacier, and spoke coldly to the Bai Yu.
Seeing that the little angel was really angry, Bai Yu quickly suppressed his smile and bowed his head to apologize.
"Don't be so angry. It's been years since we last met, and I wanted to surprise you. I forgot about your current situation. It's my fault, and I repent!"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's apology, Xue Qinghe's icy expression softened slightly, inwardly cursing, "Is that a pleasant surprise? That's just shock!"
Seeing that the little angel's gaze wasn't so cold anymore, Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief, finally managing to fool her. He then said:
"It's been years since we last met. I can't greet an old friend with a fake body, can I? It would look really awkward if you don't take off this disguise."
Qian Renxue glanced at him indifferently, her eyes filled with disdain. "Do you really find the fake body awkward? I don't believe it at all."
"It's not going to change, it's like this. If you don't like it, get out of here. And get off my bed! But..."
Hearing Qian Renxue's words, Bai Yu was initially disappointed, but upon hearing the twist, her eyes lit up again.
"But what? What do you want me to help with? Don't worry, I can handle it!"
