Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 199 A False Agreement, True Feelings

Perhaps out of consideration for Hu Liena's status as a saintess, or perhaps out of concern for Bibi Dong's attitude, the titled Douluo hesitated for a moment before ultimately not turning against Hu Liena. He simply glared at the two of them fiercely before retreating.

Of course, all of this seemed perfectly reasonable to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu, whose acting was quite good, looked at Hu Liena and asked:

"Did he inflict the injuries on your body?"

Seeing that Bai Yu had taken the bait, Hu Liena deliberately bit her lip, revealing a weak but feignedly strong expression:

"It's okay, I'm used to it."

With a subtle aura of allure emanating from her, Hu Liena was very confident in her charm. In her and Bibi Dong's imagination, Bai Yu was already deeply attracted by her personal charm.

However, they were unaware that Bai Yu had already seen through everything.

Hu Liena whispered:

"The Pope will be leaving the Spirit Hall in three days, and most of the elders will be leaving with her. I plan to take advantage of that time to escape the Spirit Hall and find a small place to live out my days in peace. I will come back the day after tomorrow. If you want to leave, I can take you with me."

After saying that, Hu Liena turned to leave, but Bai Yu suddenly called her back and sneered:

"I didn't have a choice."

Hu Liena turned around, and Bai Yu continued:

"Whether you succeed in the end or not, the Spirit Hall will definitely strengthen its defenses. At that time, even if I wanted to escape, I wouldn't have a chance. So, I only have one choice, don't I?"

A hesitant expression appeared on Hu Liena's face. After a long while, she sighed and said:

"I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this. But no matter what you say, I'm going to do it. Because I've had enough. Give me liberty or give me death!"

After she finished speaking, she added:

"Don't even think about informing on me. The people guarding you for the next few days are people I arranged. After all, I've been a puppet for a few years, so I can still find a few trusted confidants."

After saying that, Hu Liena left, leaving Bai Yu, who was trying not to laugh but had to pretend to be deep in thought.

Sigh, there are so many tricks in the city.

Bibi Dong and Hu Liena could never have imagined that his goal was only one thing: to sleep with Hu Liena.

Besides, Bai Yu cooperated with whatever they did, and he willingly followed their routines because he had only one goal.

"Is this what they call information asymmetry?"

Bai Yu muttered something and continued to pretend to be contemplating life.

. . . . . .

The City of Slaughter.

Tang Hao led Tang San to slaughter a thug in a tavern, and then arrived at the entrance to the City of Slaughter.

Tang Hao covered his face with his cloak and said:

"Little Miss, this is the City of Slaughter. I will follow you secretly to ensure your safety. But I will not intervene until you are in a situation where you are certain to die, and I will not appear even if you are seriously injured."

Finally, Tang Hao added:

"There are no rules here, so just let yourself go!"

After Tang Hao left, Tang San pondered his father's words as he entered the City of Slaughter.

The stench of blood kept wafting into Tang San's nostrils on the eerie and terrifying street.

Suddenly, a burly man emerged from the corner, his bloodshot eyes gleaming with a murderous thrill, and he raised his knife to slash at Tang San.

Tang San easily dodged and killed him with a hidden arrow.

Upon smelling the intoxicating stench of blood, Tang San felt a surge of exhilaration.

"Is this the thrill of killing?"

Suddenly, Tang San turned his head and saw a stunningly beautiful woman in black emerge from the corner.

Just as Tang San was about to make a move, the woman in black laughed:

"Don't rush, I'm your guide."

Tang San was taken aback.

"A guide?"

"That's right. Everyone who voluntarily enters the Killing City and wants to participate in the Killing Arena will have a guide to help newcomers get to know the Killing City better and faster. I will be responsible for protecting your safety for the next twelve hours."

Tang San scoffed.

"Protect my safety? You?"

"Didn't you notice that you can't use soul skills here?"

Tang San's heart sank.

"No wonder that burly man didn't use his soul skill to attack me."

The woman in black said:

"There are no rules here, the only rule is killing. But every newcomer who comes here on their own initiative has a complicated background, so our task as guides is to safely lead you to the killing field and help you adapt to this place."

"Of course, after twelve hours, I will not provide any protection. If you die, it will be a pointless death."

Tang San nodded in understanding. At this moment, he made no attempt to hide the lust in his eyes as he sized up her impressive figure and said:

"Let's go, take me to the killing field."

The woman in black didn't care and led Tang San toward the killing field. Along the way, many powerful thugs saw her and avoided her like the plague. Tang San silently remembered this.

In the killing capital, don't confront your guide head-on.

At this moment, Tang San suddenly spoke:

"If it's twelve hours from now, can I pay you to protect me?"

The woman in black glanced at him and said with a smile:

"Can you afford it?"

Tang San chuckled:

"Of course, let alone asking you to protect me, I'd be happy to protect you too."

The implication in his second half of the sentence was quite obvious. The woman in black smiled, her heart filled with disdain.

To be honest, she'd seen plenty of bold people, but this was truly the first one who dared to flirt with her.

Hopefully, he doesn't die too quickly, otherwise it'll be too boring.

. . . . . .

"So, have you made up your mind?"

That night, Hu Liena found Bai Yu again.

Bai Yu looked at her for a long time and said helplessly:

"Do I even have a choice?"

Hu Liena said in a deep voice:

"At this time tomorrow night, I will instigate a conflict between two Title Douluos, causing them to fight. The entire Spirit Hall's attention will be drawn to this. I will then come to pick you up, use the Saintess Token to distract the remaining guards, and we will sneak out."

Bai Yu nodded, his face full of trust, and said:

"I'll listen to you."

Suddenly, Hu Liena hugged him tightly, and her fragrance wafted into Bai Yu's nose, making him pause for a second.

"I'm sorry, but if I fail, I might kill you."

This is also part of the plan; a hug and a sincere apology are the best ways to win a man's heart at this moment.

Suddenly, Bai Yu grabbed Hu Liena's neck and, before she could react, stole her first kiss.

Hu Liena's eyes widened, and Bai Yu whispered:

"It's okay, we will support each other."

Hu Liena was stunned. These words seemed to have some kind of magic, directly hitting the softest part of her heart.

In an instant, Hu Liena felt herself falling for him.

"Okay, it's settled then. If I die, please plant a rose bush by your bedside. It's my favorite flower."

Bai Yu said in a deep voice:

"If I die, don't think of me anymore. Find someone you love and live out your life peacefully."

Hu Liena was stunned again.

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon; she felt that Bai Yu was the only one in her heart.

"Even if we both die," they said in unison, "it would be worth it!"

Bibi Dong was completely unaware that Hu Liena, whom she had sent to feign compliance, had by now completely fallen for her.
