Douluo V: Taking advantage of Xiao Wu's youthful innocence, I tricked her into becoming my wife

"So what?"

There's nothing there!

Yu Xiaogang: ......

"Fine, fine, fine!" he said stubbornly.

"I want some leftovers and scraps, a rotten steak, all the rotten vegetable leaves, and then pour thick swill over it."

"Here you go!" The steward casually scooped out a chipped bowl from beside the slop bucket, ladled in two spoonfuls of what looked like leftover soup, and didn't even offer chopsticks. "Eat up."

Yu Xiaogang looked down and saw rotten vegetable leaves and unidentified dark pieces floating in the bowl, with a layer of oil on the surface and a sour, rotten smell hitting his nose.

His stomach churned. "Manager, is this...is this food for humans?"

"Didn't you order this yourself?" The manager rolled his eyes.

Yu Xiaogang suppressed his nausea, "But this is too..."

"You're eating and sleeping at the shop, what more could you want? You're lucky if you get anything to eat!"

"Fine, don't eat it then, we still have to work tomorrow morning anyway!"

After the manager finished speaking, he turned and left, the back kitchen curtain slamming shut with a loud bang.

Yu Xiaogang stared at the bowl of swill, his stomach growling uncontrollably.

He hesitated for a long time before finally picking up the bowl, bringing it to his lips, and taking a small sip with his eyes closed.

The sour soup slid down his throat, and he almost vomited, but he forced it down.

He took a second sip, a third sip... After finishing, he lay down by the stove, gagging for a long time until tears came out.

"Mistress... Mu Bai..." he mumbled incoherently, "You...you guys, someone come and save me..."

The dim oil lamp in the back kitchen flickered, casting his huddled shadow, like a rat thrown into a ditch.

Right in the back kitchen, on the roof of the building across the street, two figures sat side by side.

Ye Hua was holding a freshly fried cake in his hand, taking a crunchy bite.

Hu Liena squatted beside him, her lips twitching wildly.

"So, this is how you find amusement?"

"Isn't it good?"

“Fine,” Huliena said, touching her forehead, “but it’s cruel.”

“I think he should be made to eat raw rotten vegetable leaves, since there’s still meat in the swill.”

Ye Hua: ? ? ?

Just then, a voice came from behind.

"My lord, I have not failed you!"

Ye Hua nodded, "Thanks for your hard work, brothers!"

"You're too kind, sir," the sheriff said, clasping his hands in a fist salute. "This is His Highness the Crown Prince's order; how could we dare not do our utmost!"

To watch a good show, Ye Hua asked Qian Renxue for the security team.

Qian Renxue was also straightforward, not even asking what they were supposed to do, and simply told them to follow orders.

Ye Hua gave them several hundred gold soul coins as a reward for watching the show, and then took Hu Liena back to the Crystal Palace.

As for Dai Mubai, who was hiding in the shadows, he was completely dumbfounded!

Chapter 255 Dai Mubai: I have a way to deal with him!

Dai Mubai sat slumped in the shadows at the alley entrance, clutching a fortune in cash in his hand.

He finally realized that he had stolen Yu Xiaogang!

An overwhelming sense of guilt welled up inside me!

But the next second, Dai Mubai returned to normal.

That bastard taught him at Shrek Academy for two years, yet his soul power remained almost stagnant!

I, Dai Mubai, was overwhelmed by Davis, and you, Yu Xiaogang, bear no responsibility?

I'm stealing you now, it's just me acting on behalf of God!

That way you won't have to put on airs and go around swindling people!

But as he smiled, his brows furrowed again.

Although Yu Xiaogang is useless, Tang San is no pushover.

That guy may be a transvestite, but he's ruthless and vengeful!

If he finds out that it was I who caused his teacher to end up in the kitchen...

Dai Mubai shuddered, quickly stuffed the banknotes into his pocket, and hurried away.

We need to find another place to stay as soon as possible, somewhere far away!

However, what you fear most is what happens.

He had just stepped into the inconspicuous little hotel when he heard a sound behind him.

"Mu Bai?"

Dai Mubai's back straightened instantly.

He slowly turned his head and saw Tang San standing at the door, his gaze fixed on him.

"It really is you." Tang San strode over, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger. "Long time no see."

Dai Mubai's Adam's apple bobbed as he forced a smile. "Little San...long time no see. You...aren't you with your father?"

"He's dead." Tang San said without changing his expression.

"Ah, my condolences..." Dai Mubai lowered his eyes.

Tang San looked around and said, "Let's find another place to talk."

The two left the hotel, made several turns, and entered a secluded dead-end alley.

Tang San leaned against the wall, arms crossed, and asked, "Mu Bai, how have you been lately?"

Dai Mubai's heart was filled with alarm bells, but he remained calm on the surface. "It's...it's alright. As you know, Davis is hunting me down, so I've been hiding everywhere."

"Oh?" Tang San's lips curled up. "That's quite a coincidence, I'm also hiding."

He paused, then his tone suddenly became serious, "Mu Bai, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Dai Mubai's right eyelid twitched violently.

"You've probably heard that Ye Hua created a soul system."

"I need your help to spread the word that the so-called 'soul spirits' are actually an evil technique used by evil soul masters to control the souls of soul beasts!"

"What?!" Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply. "Have you gone mad, mistress?"

"The Long Night Alliance is powerful, and it has more than one Title Douluo!"

"You want me to smear him? That's practically suicide!"

Tang San remained calm and composed. "Of course I know the Long Night Alliance is powerful, but does it matter?"

Dai Mubai sneered, "It's easy for you to talk when you're not the one suffering!"

Tang San shook his head. "You don't want to be killed by Davis, do you?"

Dai Mubai's pupils suddenly contracted.

Tang San continued to bewitch, "As far as I know, the competition for the throne in the Star Luo Empire is brutal."

"Your older brother has probably already made his move. How long can you hide? A month? Half a month?"

Dai Mubai's breathing quickened. "It has nothing to do with you!"

Seeing that he was wavering, Tang San continued to press the issue, "But if you help me with something, I can find a way to let you temporarily stay in the Clear Sky Sect."

"Even the Star Luo Empire wouldn't dare to force their way into my Haotian Sect. What can Davis do to you?"

Dai Mubai's eyes flickered.

The Haotian Sect... is an excellent refuge!

Once he's inside, Davis won't dare to make any rash moves!

Moreover, as long as it's done discreetly, the Long Night Alliance might not be able to find out, right?

In Dai Mubai's heart, the scales were tipped.

"Okay," he gritted his teeth and agreed, "but you have to give me the money first."

"I need event funding, connections, and news coverage."

Tang San's eyelids twitched. "How many do you want?"

"The more the better," Dai Mubai said without batting an eye.

"Would 10,000 Gold Soul Coins be enough?"

"Successfully, but only with a 20-30% chance of success!"

"What about the twenty thousand?"

"I'm about 50-60% sure!"

Tang San took a deep breath. "Then... what about 40,000?"

"Forty thousand?" Dai Mubai was taken aback by his extravagant offer. "That's definitely a deal!"

Tang San pondered for a moment, "Then it's 40,000 gold soul coins, 20,000 as a deposit first."

He took out the gold notes from his pocket, counted them, and handed them to Dai Mubai.

Do you have a specific plan?

Dai Mubai smiled mysteriously, "Just wait for the news, leave the rest to me!"

"I am, after all, a prince of the Star Luo Empire, and I am not lacking in ways to deal with those in high positions!"

Tang San narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing this.

Seeing that Dai Mubai was confident, he didn't ask any more questions.

"By the way," Dai Mubai suddenly spoke up just as Tang San was about to leave, "Have you seen our teacher?"

Tang San paused, then said calmly, "He was thrown into the gallows by Ye Hua and tortured for two years. I just rescued him a couple of days ago."

“Give him 10,000 gold soul coins to settle down and let him start over.”

“But,” Dai Mubai cautiously probed, “he’s washing dishes in the kitchen…”

"Hmph," Tang San said indifferently, "What does this have to do with me!"

That old Deng was really a good-for-nothing!

He actually lost the money in his hand!

He can only blame himself for being incompetent!

Anyway, he used money to get divine guidance, which is fair.

No matter how badly Yu Xiaogang is doing, it has nothing to do with him!

Dai Mubai's throat tightened. "...That's true."

He chuckled twice. "Then I'll go first. Take care."

After saying that, he disappeared into the night without looking back.

Tang San stood there, watching the direction he disappeared in, his eyes filled with uncertain emotions.

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, in the Crystal Palace of the Long Night.

Ye Hua, carrying Hu Liena, landed in front of the palace gate and folded Yinglong's wings.

Before they could even stand still, the commotion attracted the girls' attention.
