The next day, Bai Yu slipped out of the Crown Prince's residence with a thin handprint on her face.
"Tsk, it's true that being stubborn is human nature. She calls you 'husband' when she takes off her clothes, but hits you when she puts them back on, and it hurts quite a bit!"
While muttering to himself, Bai Yu used his soul power to heal himself. By the time he returned to the academy, the handprint on his face had disappeared.
Today he plans to go to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, taking advantage of the location to help Ah Yin recover, and wants to say hello to Zhu Zhuqing and Ning Rongrong.
Bai Yu hummed a little tune as he walked towards Zhu Zhuqing's dormitory. Before he even reached the dormitory, he heard Yu Xiaogang's voice.
"Bai Yu, wait a minute, I have something I want to talk to you about!"
He glanced at Yu Xiaogang sideways and said lazily:
"Ah, it's the grandmaster. What's the matter? I have something urgent to attend to."
Yu Xiaogang, leaning on his cane, looked at Bai Yu's nonchalant demeanor and his expression turned somewhat grim.
"Come with me, it's not convenient to talk here."
Bai Yu scratched the corner of his mouth, a look of confusion flashing in his eyes.
Not knowing what Yu Xiaogang was up to, just as he was about to refuse, he sensed someone watching them from not far away, and his tone changed.
"Alright, Master, please lead the way."
Hearing that Bai Yu was willing to talk to him, Yu Xiaogang's expression softened considerably, and he turned and walked towards his dormitory.
Bai Yu yawned and followed along with a bored expression. Although he didn't know what Yu Xiaogang was planning, he didn't mind finding some fun.
"Bai Yu, I want you to heal my leg. I'll do anything you ask!"
As soon as the two entered the room, Yu Xiaogang couldn't wait to speak up, wanting Bai Yu to treat his leg.
Bai Yu ignored Yu Xiaogang's burning gaze, walked to the desk, sat down, rested her chin on his hand, and said calmly:
"Didn't I already say that there's no cure for this, and I don't have the cultivation method either? Why are you so persistent, Master?"
Hearing Bai Yu's words, Yu Xiaogang really wanted to shout, "Am I beyond help? You're just looking down on me!!!"
He then took two deep breaths to calm his anger and said to Bai Yu:
"No, I know you can cure it. Xiao San told me that people with profound cultivation techniques and soul power can forcibly open up other people's meridians."
"You can ask me for anything as long as you agree to help me restore this leg!"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow, glanced out the window, then looked up at Yu Xiaogang with a half-smile.
"Oh, Tang San told you this? Did he also tell you that using cultivation techniques to open up someone else's meridians comes at a great cost without the aid of rare and precious materials?"
"It will permanently deplete the soul power of the person using this technique. This portion of soul power can only be rebuilt, not restored. So, Master Yu, do you have any rare and precious materials?"
Yu Xiaogang's face was gloomy, his teeth were clenched tightly, but he couldn't make a sound.
"It seems that there is no such thing, and your disciple also told you about this. However, since you have come to me, Master, you must be able to give something to compensate me for the loss of my soul power."
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's expression, Bai Yu knew that Tang San had told him that opening someone's meridians would come at a price.
I originally wanted to just leave, but then I thought I'd better tease Yu Xiaogang a bit, since having a show every day is good for my mental and physical health!
Yu Xiaogang's face was ashen, his hands clenched tightly, and he said in a low voice:
"I don't have anything to compensate you with right now, but if you heal me, I will repay you with the cultivation technique I create in the future. What do you say?"
This bland pancake made Bai Yu's eyes squint with laughter, and paired with his handsome face, it even looked somewhat alluring.
If Hu Liena were to see this scene, her eyes would be sparkling with delight.
"Hahaha, Yu Xiaogang, don't make me laugh. What's the difference between this and getting something for nothing? Who knows if you can even create a new cultivation technique?"
Seeing Bai Yu trembling with laughter, Yu Xiaogang also trembled, shouting in his heart, "You brat, you've gone too far! You've already met your end!"
Bai Yu then pinched the bridge of his nose, stopping his laughter, and said to Yu Xiaogang in a detached tone:
"Ahem, Master Yu, it's not impossible for me to treat you, but you need to give me one thing!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's eyes immediately lit up, and he excitedly said:
"What is it? Don't worry! If I have it, I'll definitely give it to you!"
Bai Yu fiddled with his fingers and said jokingly:
"I heard that Dean Liu and the master almost got married? But even if it fell through halfway, wouldn't she still be considered your wife?"
"I only have one request: you write a deed of gift and give me Dean Liu, and I will agree to treat you."
"ah?"
Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded, his mouth agape. He never expected that Bai Yu would make such a request.
At that moment, a heavy breathing sound came from outside the window, but Yu Xiaogang was too preoccupied with his thoughts to notice it.
"Bai Yu! What nonsense are you spouting? How could I give you Erlong? And how old are you? This is utterly ridiculous!"
"Besides, my wedding with Erlong didn't happen. Even if I wrote a contract, Erlong wouldn't recognize it!"
Yu Xiaogang's zombie-like face turned bright red, his eyes filled with anger, yet still tinged with hesitation. He shouted angrily at Bai Yu at an extremely fast pace.
Ignoring Yu Xiaogang's shouts, Bai Yu waved his hand and said with a smile:
"Age is a minor issue. If she comes with me, I have my own way of helping her break through the titled Douluo barrier. As for whether she recognizes the contract, that doesn't matter."
"I just need proof. If she doesn't acknowledge it, then consider it free treatment for me. Where else can you find such a good deal?"
Yu Xiaogang's face flushed and paled in turns, his mind constantly weighing the gains and losses.
Looking at Yu Xiaogang's expression, Bai Yu touched his sword-like eyebrows and thought to himself, "This guy is really something else. Judging from his posture, he really wants to write a contract!"
He then prepared to add fuel to the fire, wanting to see where Yu Xiaogang's bottom line was.
"Master, are you still hesitating? It's just a contract. Even if you don't write it, it's impossible for you and Dean Liu to be together. Besides, you're already crippled."
"To exchange a contract whose usefulness is unknown for one's health, to be able to stand up again and pursue one's dreams, that's probably..."
"not enough!"
Before Bai Yu could finish drawing the pancake, Yu Xiaogang shouted, stopping him from doing so.
Yu Xiaogang's eyes were bloodshot as he stared intently at Bai Yu, who looked on with surprise, and said in a harsh voice:
"If you want me to give you Erlong, healing my injuries isn't enough!"
Bai Yu gave a mocking laugh.
"Hehe, then I wonder if Master Yu has any other requests?"
Yu Xiaogang took a couple of deep breaths, his face showing a mixture of pain and excitement.
"I also need your help to break through this damn level 29, and you have to give me a cultivation technique!"
Bai Yu threw his head back and laughed loudly, slapping the table twice with his palm.
He then stared at Yu Xiaogang expressionlessly and spoke softly.
"So, you're offering a contract that's likely useless in exchange for me expending my soul power to heal your injuries, help you break through to a higher level, and then give you a cultivation technique in the end?"
"Master Yu, you've really got a brilliant plan."
