Bai Yu raised her hand, pinched the little angel's surprised face, and said softly:
"Because Dugu Bo was recruited by me, my people should naturally be under the jurisdiction of the Papal Palace."
Bai Yu's words made Qian Renxue's eyes widen. She hadn't expected that Dugu Bo was actually recruited by this bastard.
"You're saying you recruited Dugu Bo? So, five years ago, when you were twelve, you were already recruiting titled Douluo individuals? How did you do that?"
Bai Yu smiled and said with a slight upturn of his lips:
"Hehe, once I unleash my domineering charisma, wouldn't Dugu Bo, a mere nobody, immediately submit?"
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes and pinched him.
"Stop talking nonsense, let's get serious. How exactly did you manage to recruit that old poisoner? That old guy doesn't have a good impression of Spirit Hall!"
"If you don't explain clearly, I'm hesitant to use him. If he turns on me one day, I'll be in big trouble."
Seeing Qian Renxue's serious and inquisitive expression, Bai Yu clicked his tongue and said helplessly:
"Well... I would say I saved their lives. As you know, I have a lot of knowledge about martial spirits, and there's something wrong with the martial spirit inheritance of the Dugu family."
"A martial spirit carries a poisonous inheritance, which not only harms the user but also is passed on to future generations. I helped him solve this problem on the condition that he joins the Spirit Hall, along with some small gifts."
A look of realization flashed in Qian Renxue's eyes, and she showed an expression of "I see" on her face.
"No wonder, this old guy's hair and eyes used to be green, but they changed later. I thought he did it himself."
"But since it's a life-saving favor, then we might as well use it!"
Bai Yu raised an eyebrow and said in a slightly teasing tone:
"I say, little angel, are you being this cautious? I talked to the old poisoner about these things before."
"According to him, he hasn't even seen the faces of Elders Porcupine and Serpent Spear in the past few years, let alone you."
Qian Renxue narrowed her eyes as she looked at Bai Yu's cheerful appearance and began to mock him.
"Hehe, what can I do? I'm just a poor girl, I can't compare to you, Your Holiness the Holy Son."
"Look at you, all these years you've been either traveling or chasing pretty girls, you've really been living a carefree life!"
"Look at me, I can only play the role of the Crown Prince of Tiandou in this deep palace, working hard every day. It's really unfair!"
Huh?
Qian Renxue suddenly looked resentful, leaving Bai Yu speechless.
He really didn't expect his little angel to play this trick. She was always such a cool and aloof goddess before, what is this now? A Cultivation version of a green tea bitch?
He quickly waved his hand and begged for mercy in a low voice.
"Alright, alright, it was my fault for not telling you about Dugu Bo's matter beforehand. Let's not talk about that. I came here today mainly to ask you to go out for a walk."
"Since you're not in a great mood right now, how about we go out for a walk and relax?"
Qian Renxue blinked, surprised that Bai Yu would ask her to go shopping. What was wrong with him today?
She immediately smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, let's go then. But I'm probably not the first woman to ask you to go shopping with me, am I?"
Bai Yu's eyelids twitched a few times, wondering to himself what was wrong with this little angel today, talking strangely?
Then, with a slightly teasing tone, he said:
"You're absolutely right. You're not the first one. You're the second. The first one was named Bibi Dong."
(TL: imagine losing to your own mom)
Qian Renxue looked surprised, then realized what was happening and angrily hit Bai Yu a few times.
"Bai Yu! Can't you just die?!"
After a playful fight, the two quietly ran out of the Crown Prince's residence and walked side by side on the streets of Tiandou City.
After leaving the mansion, Qian Renxue's mood visibly improved, and her looking around curiously amused Bai Yu.
"Hey little angel, you've lived in Tiandou City for so many years, you must know everything about it like the back of your hand, right? Why do you still look so curious?"
Upon hearing Bai Yu's question, Qian Renxue glanced at him sideways and said irritably:
"How can that be the same? Before, it was Xue Qinghe who came out, but now I am Qian Renxue! Xue Qinghe needs to maintain a certain image, but as Qian Renxue, I can do whatever I want!"
Seeing Qian Renxue's genuine joy, Bai Yu's eyes flashed with tenderness.
'I want her to be herself again, but this little angel is so stubborn that I can't persuade her. I guess I'll have to ask teacher to talk to her in person.'
"The Heaven Dou Auction House is just ahead. Bai Yu, would you like to take a look?"
Bai Yu's thoughts were interrupted, and his gaze followed the direction of Qian Renxue's finger, where a semi-circular building came into view.
He then turned to look at Qian Renxue and said with a smile:
"Do you want to go? If you do, let's go and take a look."
Qian Renxue shook her head, a hint of disgust appearing in her eyes.
"I don't want to go. I've been there countless times. I'm just asking if you want to go and see it."
Bai Yu chuckled, shook his head, and responded in a rather indifferent tone.
"Since you don't want to go, then we won't go. We haven't had lunch yet, so let's find a place to eat."
Qian Renxue blinked, staring at Bai Yu with a strange expression.
"You don't seem very interested in the auction house. I thought you would like it here, after all, there are beautiful women as auction items!"
Bai Yu's lips twitched slightly. He reached out and tapped Qian Renxue's forehead. What did this little angel take him for?
"Is that how you see me? Tell me the truth, what kind of image do you have of me?"
Qian Renxue felt a little embarrassed, thinking to herself, what kind of image could she possibly project? A lecherous manwhore, of course! Who would be so kind as to win someone over on the second meeting?
Although over the years, the gifts that Bai Yu sent kept coming, along with those letters that gave her goosebumps, they did manage to win her over.
But these things only prove that you, Bai Yu, are a highly skilled lecher, nothing more!
Qian Renxue thought for a long time but couldn't figure out how to explain, so she had no choice but to resort to her feminine instincts and start acting like a rogue!
"Oh dear, what kind of image is this? I was just asking if you wanted to go to the auction house, why are you making such a fuss?"
A smile flashed in Bai Yu's eyes. To be honest, this little angel with such a contrasting personality is quite cute, much more fun than her previous cold and aloof demeanor!
"Alright, alright, I won't ask anymore! Actually, speaking of auction houses, I've only been to one once in all these years of training outside."
"I haven't been there since then, because every time I pass by an auction house, I'm reminded of the first time, and I'm afraid I won't be able to resist taking action!"
Bai Yu's words left Qian Renxue somewhat confused. Take action? Why would he take action? Had the auction house offended him?
"Why do you say that? Has any auction house offended you? If they have, just eliminate them directly. Why bother yourself?"
