Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 201 Hu Liena, Take Her Down!

"Phew, we finally escaped."

Hu Liena was deeply moved, and even squeezed out a few tears, looking like a pear blossom in the rain.

Suddenly, Bai Yu hugged her from behind and whispered:

"Great! What are your next steps?"

Hu Liena blushed, but did not push Bai Yu away.

"As I said before, I plan to find a small place to live out my life peacefully."

On one hand, she wanted to finish the play. On the other hand, she did have some feelings for Bai Yu, but she remembered Bibi Dong's instructions to establish a relationship with Bai Yu and then elope, so that Bai Yu would miss her deeply if he couldn't have her.

"And that's all," Bai Yu said.

"But the Spirit Hall is incredibly powerful, where can you hide?"

Hu Liena was taken aback; she had never thought of this before.

"I...I haven't decided yet."

"Let's go to the town ahead and ask around."

After saying that, Bai Yu grabbed her hand and headed towards the town without further ado. Hu Liena was both amused and exasperated, but if she ran away now, all her efforts would be in vain, so she had no choice but to follow Bai Yu.

The two arrived in the town late at night, with only a few buildings lit up.

The two went into a hotel that was still lit up. A man was dozing off at the front desk. Bai Yu walked over and knocked on the table, which immediately startled him awake, and he jumped up.

"Oh, are you a guest at the hotel? Sorry, I fell asleep."

Bai Yu smiled slightly:

"No problem, we're both backpackers and we'd like to ask you a question."

"Backpacker?"

The man paused for a moment, having never heard of such a term before.

"Yes, they are travelers who carry backpacks and are determined to travel all over the continent and see all the scenery of the country."

The man was stunned. He glanced at Hu Liena and thought to himself, "Don't you guys carry backpacks either?"

Seeing his confusion, Bai Yu sighed and said:

"Sigh, we encountered a group of bandits on the road, but thankfully they only robbed us of our money."

Seeing this, the man hurriedly apologized in a flustered manner, but Bai Yu waved his hand and said:

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask if you have a pawn shop here? We'd like to pawn some valuables to get some travel money."

The man breathed a sigh of relief and said:

"Yes, but you probably won't be able to pawn the items until tomorrow during the day."

Bai Yu then asked:

"Do you have a place to hire a horse-drawn carriage in your town? I think your town isn't very big, so we probably won't be staying for long."

"Yes, it is."

The man not only pointed out the location of the carriage rental, but also carefully explained the price.

Bai Yu thanked him, and the man hesitated for a moment before saying:

"Gentlemen, it's cold outside. Why don't you stay here for the night?"

Before Bai Yu and Hu Liena could speak, he said, overflowing with sympathy:

"We don't have many guests in our town. The owner has gone on vacation, and so many rooms are just sitting empty. Why don't I offer you two a free stay?"

Hu Liena was taken aback, while Bai Yu looked at her and smiled:

"Since they've said that, it would be a bit much to not appreciate it. Perfect timing, we need to get some rest."

After saying this, before Hu Liena could raise any objections, he took out a pocket watch, placed it on the table, and said:

"We'll pawn the watch tomorrow, exchange the money, and then come back to pay the room fee. If we don't come, you can have this watch."

"It's alright, here's the room key, please take it. Perfect timing, I'll go boil some water and bring it to you."

After the man finished speaking, he left the front desk and headed towards the kitchen, leaving Hu Liena speechless with a mixture of amusement and exasperation.

Why do you suddenly need to check into a hotel?

Fine, I'll stay here, but what does it mean to only give me one room? Do you think we're a couple?

It hasn't developed to that point yet, has it?

Bai Yu said:

"Shall we go?"

Hu Liena didn't want to go at first, but she remembered that the mysterious pill she had given Bai Yu contained a special ingredient. As long as Bai Yu fell asleep, he would fall into a dream and deepen his feelings for her in the dream.

At that time, she could sneak back to the Spirit Hall.

When Bai Yu wakes up and can't find her, he will definitely miss her deeply, and this is Bibi Dong's plan.

She knew what the "white moonlight" meant to a man. As long as Bai Yu missed Hu Liena, he would naturally do his best to stop the forces behind him from disturbing the Douluo Continent, because once war broke out, Hu Liena, who was living in seclusion, might be in danger.

To put it bluntly, it's about making Bai Yu hesitant to act rashly, and using him to restrain the forces behind him.

At this moment, Bai Yu opened the door, and the two went inside, only to find that the hotel's amenities were just average.

Hu Liena glanced at Bai Yu discreetly, hoping he would fall asleep soon.

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly clutched his abdomen, looking pained.

Are you alright?

Hu Liena quickly put on a concerned expression.

"It's nothing, I guess I got scratched while climbing the cliff, I'll be fine after resting for a while."

Bai Yu glanced at the only bed and smiled:

"You sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the floor."

Hu Liena, who desperately wanted Bai Yu to go to bed early, shook her head and said:

"Since you're injured, you should sleep in the bed. Sleeping on the floor isn't good for your recovery."

Just then, there was a knock on the door, and the receptionist brought up a basin of hot water.

After thanking him, Bai Yu carried the hot water into the house and said with a smile:

"Would you like a shower?"

Hu Liena shook her head.

Who would want to take a shower at a time like this? Can't you go to bed earlier?

Unexpectedly, Bai Yu said:

"Then I'll dry myself off with a towel; hot water will help the wound heal."

This excuse left Hu Liena speechless.

The problem was that this small hotel didn't have a private bathroom; the shower was at the end of the corridor, so Hu Liena could only sit on the edge of the bed with her back to Bai Yu, avoiding looking at him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Bai Yu placed the incense he had previously used on Liu Erlong in a corner, lit it quietly, and then slowly took off his clothes and wiped his body with a towel soaked in hot water.

About an incense stick later, Bai Yu finally finished getting dressed.

"Go to sleep, it's getting late. Rest for a few hours and get up early to continue your journey tomorrow."

Hu Liena nodded and made a makeshift bed on the ground.

As the incense filled the air, Hu Liena lay on the floor, listening to Bai Yu's even breathing on the bed, and some ambiguous fantasies suddenly surfaced in her mind.

People tend to overthink at night, and Hu Liena's thoughts were a jumbled mess at this moment. Under the influence of the incense, her strange ideas were amplified.

About half an hour later, Bai Yu suddenly stood up.

Hu Liena also sat up and asked:

"What's wrong?"

"I can't sleep," Bai Yu said, seemingly to himself. "You never really intended to leave with me, did you?"

Hu Liena's heart was in her throat, but hearing that Bai Yu was only concerned about this, she breathed a sigh of relief and softly echoed his words:

"I've heard that you became the dean of an advanced soul master academy at such a young age, and that you are exceptionally strong, having defeated Xie Yue and Yan in succession. You have a bright future ahead of you. I don't want to drag you down, so I apologize."

After saying that, a strange thought suddenly popped into her mind: Only a man like this is worthy of me, Hu Liena!

Xie Yue and Yan weren't even worthy of shining his shoes. Whether it was his strength or his physique, she had secretly glanced back just now, and those well-proportioned and muscular muscles under the moonlight were simply...

At this moment, Bai Yu suddenly lay down next to Hu Liena and whispered:

"But I want to go with you."

Hu Liena was taken aback. Before she could speak, Bai Yu put his hand on her shoulder.

I think I've fallen in love with you.
