Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 196 Both of them are acting

Status is earned through force, and Bai Yu once again realized this truth.

When he first arrived, the prison warden would occasionally tease and mock him when he brought him food. But after he defeated Xie Yue and Yan, the warden became much more restrained and treated him with great caution every time he saw him.

"Bai Baiyu, this is today's meal."

The jailer walked in with a fawning smile and carefully placed the food in front of Bai Yu.

Although this guy was personally captured by His Holiness the Pope, since he has defeated Xie Yue and Yan in succession, His Holiness the Pope is very likely to value his talent and recruit him. If I make things difficult for him again, I might suffer the consequences.

Although I'm not very strong, I have excellent eyesight, otherwise I wouldn't be a jailer in the Spirit Hall!

Bai Yu opened his eyes, looked down, and frowned, saying:

"Why is today's food so shabby?"

There's only one vegetable dish, and it's just white radish. How am I supposed to eat this with rice?

The jailer said with a bitter face:

"Oh, you know I'm just a cell boss, my job is to deliver food, not cook it. I wouldn't know either!"

Bai Yu waved his hand, signaling him to leave. The jailer breathed a sigh of relief and quickly slipped away.

Bai Yu glanced at the food on the ground, then silently reached for his soul tool, wanting to grab something to eat.

I don't know what Bibi Dong was thinking. She locked him up but didn't take away his soul tool. Wasn't she afraid I would run away?

That makes sense; with her abilities, there's really nothing to worry about.

While Bai Yu was hesitating about whether to have an extra meal, Bibi Dong was having a long talk with Hu Liena.

"Nana, be honest, have you fallen for him?"

Hu Liena was startled by Bibi Dong's question.

Why would you ask that?

Bibi Dong snorted coldly:

"You think you can fool me with your little schemes?"

Hu Liena blushed and said weakly:

"Well, I wouldn't say I like it."

Bibi Dong asked directly:

"How does it compare to Xie Yue and Yan?"

Hu Liena hesitated for a moment, then whispered:

"I see in him a quality that neither Xie Yue nor Yan possess."

Bibi Dong understood, and then she fell silent.

After a long pause, she sighed and confessed:

"Nana, do you know that there are other forces in this world besides our Spirit Hall and the two great empires? But for various reasons, they haven't participated in our struggle."

Hu Liena was stunned, not understanding why Bibi Dong would say that.

Bibi Dong, regardless of whether she understood or not, continued:

"These forces may have experts who are no less powerful than me, and Bai Yu may very well have been sent by one of them."

Hu Liena's eyes widened, seemingly taken aback by those words.

Bibi Dong gently tapped the ground with her scepter and sighed:

"In my opinion, that force sent Bai Yu to test our attitude before interfering in our struggle. If we don't reach some kind of understanding with Bai Yu and the force behind him, I'm worried that my future plans will be affected."

"Future plans?"

"That's right. The Spirit Hall will eventually unify the entire Douluo Continent, but if external forces intervene at any time, we can't just go ahead and do it. Do you understand?"

Hu Liena nodded blankly.

At this moment, Bibi Dong suddenly said:

"In that case, you can bring him food every day."

. . . . . .

Bai Yu ate a couple of bites of rice while holding the radish, and then got tired of it.

"Indeed, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"

Bai Yu sighed and was about to take some food out of his soul tool when he suddenly heard footsteps approaching from afar.

Bai Yu's heart skipped a beat. The strength and frequency of that walking indicated it was a woman.

Sure enough, Hu Liena soon came into his sight, holding a steaming box in her hand.

What are you doing here?

Bai Yu narrowed his eyes, his face full of distrust.

In Huliena's eyes, he shouldn't have seen her, so he pretended to be like this.

Seeing his reaction, Hu Liena sneered and said:

"I heard you specifically asked to be my Daoist partner?"

Bai Yu said without any politeness:

"It's not that I'll be your Daoist partner, it's that I'll let you cultivate with me."

Even though Hu Liena was mentally prepared, she was still somewhat at a loss when faced with Bai Yu's blatant flirting.

Ultimately, with Bibi Dong protecting her in the Spirit Hall, neither Xie Yue nor Yan dared to do anything to her, not even make lewd jokes. Her excessive respect for the opposite sex made her lack understanding of them. When she encountered Bai Yu, a handsome man whose looks and temperament were second only to the readers, openly expressing his desires, she not only did not feel offended, but also had a strange rebellious streak aroused within her.

Simply put, it's like a young girl who has never been in a relationship suddenly meeting a bad guy she likes, and naturally falling for him.

However, Hu Liena still feigned displeasure and said:

"Heh, dream on. But since you have some sense, I'm bringing you food so you won't accuse us, the Spirit Hall, of mistreating you. Here, eat."

After putting the food on the ground, Hu Liena turned and left, hiding around the corner to peek.

Bai Yu understood her and Bibi Dong's intentions, and was both amused and exasperated.

It's highly likely that Bibi Dong had Hu Liena deliberately act arrogant in front of her, and she anticipated that Bibi Dong wanted to leave, so she would definitely try to grab Hu Liena as her lifeline, so that Hu Liena could take the initiative in their relationship.

Was he in a hurry to leave? Not at all!

Facing the steaming lunchbox on the ground, Bai Yu closed his eyes, sat cross-legged, and looked like he was cultivating.

Hu Liena, who had just turned the corner, was getting anxious. She stayed there for half an hour, and when she saw that Bai Yu hadn't moved at all, she quickly went back to tell Bibi Dong.

Unexpectedly, Bibi Dong laughed after hearing this.

"He's deliberately putting on an act to get your attention. If you back down in a situation like this, you've already lost."

Hu Liena earnestly sought advice:

"What should we do then?"

"Continue to act arrogant, make him feel that you are unapproachable, but show him some small favors to make him feel the contrast between you, and he will naturally bow his head and beg for help."

Bibi Dong curled her lips into a smile:

"I refuse to believe he wants to stay in jail forever!"

. . . . . .

The next day, Hu Liena brought Bai Yu food again, but Bai Yu still refused to eat.

On the third day, I still didn't eat.

On the fourth day, I still didn't eat!

Hu Liena was getting a little frustrated. "Eat it or not, do I have to beg you to eat it?"

However, at that moment, Bibi Dong promptly ordered the jailer not to deliver food to Bai Yu, leaving Bai Yu hungry for a day.

On the sixth day, Hu Liena went to deliver food again. Facing Bai Yu, who had been hungry all day, this time she didn't leave immediately, but instead took the initiative to ask:

Are you hungry?

Bai Yu glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Hu Liena explained:

"The jailer has some family matters to attend to and is temporarily away, so no one will be bringing you food for the time being. I'm afraid you'll starve, and if outsiders find out, they'll think that our Spirit Hall is mistreating you."

Bai Yu, in a dramatic pose, sneered:

"Your Spirit Hall inexplicably captured me and imprisoned me here, and you're even being kind enough to bring me food? Did you poison the food to try and kill me?!"
