Douluo Continent: Narration Modified, Plot Begins to Collapse

Chapter 69 Let Meng Yiran be my concubine

Long Gong thought Bai Yu was planning a sneak attack, but Bai Yu suddenly said:

"Senior Long Gong, you have been traveling in the martial world for many years, you should recognize this item."

Long Gong then took the hammer, examined it closely, and revealed a look of horror.

"This, this could be..."

Bai Yu smiled:

"Lord Dragon, shall we find somewhere else to talk?"

Amidst the questioning gazes of Meng Yiran and the Snake Granny, Bai Yu and the Dragon Lord stepped aside and began to whisper among themselves.

"Lord Long, since you recognize this object, you should know whose it is."

Lord Long said in a deep voice:

"Of course I know him, he's a very famous figure in the martial arts world. Are you his disciple?"

Bai Yu threw Tang Hao's hammer. Long Gong naturally recognized the Clear Sky Hammer and had heard of the Clear Sky Douluo's name, so he suspected that Bai Yu was Tang Hao's disciple.

Bai Yu gave an irrelevant answer:

"Although according to the rules, you were the first to discover this human-faced spider, you let it escape, and I hunted it down. You can't say I stole your granddaughter, can you?"

When the topic of Meng Yiran came up, Long Gong was indeed diverted, and he frowned and said:

"I won't say anything else. Since you're his apprentice, I don't want to clash with you. But he's not nearby, and if you're unreasonable, I won't show any leniency!"

Long Gong was very polite to Bai Yu, who was suspected to be Tang Hao's disciple; otherwise, he would have directly tried to snatch the soul bone by now.

But as polite as he was, Tang Hao wasn't nearby, so he had to warn Bai Yu not to get too cocky, or he could kill him and run away, and Tang Hao might not be able to find him.

Bai Yu clicked his tongue, brazenly and shamelessly using someone else's name to intimidate others, and said:

"Then what do you suggest we do?"

Lord Long smiled and said:

"Although you killed the Man-Faced Demon Spider, we also injured it beforehand, so the spoils should be divided fifty-fifty. Since the Man-Faced Demon Spider is dead, the soul ring is yours, and the soul bone in your possession is mine."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Yu sneered:

"Heh, do you think I'm stupid? I'm already level 30, I don't need this spirit ring, and I can't sell it. What use would it be to me? If you want to get my spirit bone for free, just say so. Don't be so shameless!"

Long Gong wasn't surprised that the young Bai Yu knew about the function of the soul bone. After all, in his eyes, Tang Hao was Bai Yu's master, and Tang Hao's reputation wasn't that drunken old good-for-nothing, but the majestic Haotian Douluo.

Lord Long said:

"Didn't your friend lose to Yi Ran in the competition for a spirit ring? He's definitely short of spirit rings now. You could give him the spirit ring from the Human-Faced Demon Spider!"

"Heh, don't try to morally blackmail me. Soul rings are easy to find, but soul bones are a different story. I can tell the difference between a soul bone and a soul ring. Besides, the soul rings I kill can't be used by others. Do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing that he couldn't fool the kid, Long Gong was getting impatient. He, a Soul Douluo, had been arguing with Bai Yu, a Soul Master, for so long, which made him very angry.

"So what do you want? Not a single penny more?"

Bai Yu thought for a moment and said:

"Actually, it's not that I can't give you the soul bone, but you have to agree to one request."

"you say."

"Make Meng Yiran my concubine!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the Dragon Lord flew into a rage:

"How dare you, you brat! You really dare to ask for such an exorbitant amount!"

For him and the Snake Granny, Meng Yiran was more important than their own lives. Seeing a promising young talent, they'd rather bring him home as a son-in-law than let him become someone else's concubine.

Although Bai Yu has Haotian Douluo behind him, the status of the couple in the martial arts world is equivalent to that of a titled Douluo. It's more like a proper marriage, so how could they let Meng Yiran be a concubine?

Bai Yu chuckled and said:

"Look, everyone has double standards. Just now you asked me to be your granddaughter's husband, which was perfectly reasonable. Now you're angry that I want your granddaughter to be my concubine?"

The Dragon Lord struck his dragon staff heavily, trying his best to control his anger, and said:

"Boy, are you trying to make fun of me?"

Bai Yu was not afraid at all and laughed:

"If we can't reach an agreement, then forget it. How about this: I'll have another match with your granddaughter. If I lose, I'll give you my soul bone. If I win, Meng Yiran will become my concubine."

"No way! I won't allow that!"

Long Gong's attitude was very firm. Even if Bai Yu used Tang Hao to make a big show of things, Long Gong was unwilling to send Meng Yiran away as a concubine, especially since the two of them had only met for the first time today.

"Tsk tsk, how about this then? If I win, we'll make a bet. Your granddaughter should be participating in the Continental Advanced Elite Soul Master Tournament, right? We'll meet again then. If I'm stronger than your granddaughter then, she'll become my concubine. If your granddaughter is stronger than me, then I'll join your family. How about that?"

Long Gong was tempted, and almost the instant Bai Yu finished speaking, he agreed immediately.

"good!"

Bai Yu laughed:

"Aren't you going to ask your granddaughter's opinion?"

After thinking for a moment, Long Gong and Bai Yu walked up to Meng Yiran and the Snake Granny and explained what had happened.

"Yiran, that kid insists on having another match with you. He says if he loses, the spoils of the Man-Faced Spider are ours. If he wins..."

"Grandpa, what will happen if he wins?"

Bai Yu continued:

"If I win, we'll make a bet: if you're stronger than me in the Advanced Soul Master Tournament, I'll join your family. If I'm stronger than you, you'll become my concubine."

After hearing this, Meng Yiran's fair cheeks flushed red as she looked at Long Gong.

"Grandpa, how could you agree to such a request?!"

Lord Long coughed lightly and said:

"Yiran, why do you think you're inferior to him? You need to have confidence in yourself; you'll definitely surpass him eventually. Besides, the outcome of the current competition is still uncertain."

Bai Yu laughed:

"Yes, it's like I need to win twice, while you only need to win once. If you don't even have confidence in that, I suggest you become my concubine and warm my bed right now."

Meng Yiran gritted her teeth and said:

"Okay, I promise you, we'll compete."

Just as Bai Yu was about to speak, Zhao Wuji and the others quickly caught up.

"Lord Long! I am Zhao Wuji! Give me some face and release Bai Yu!"

When Long Gong heard Zhao Wuji's shout, he chuckled.

You think I'm afraid of you, Zhao Wuji? I'm only afraid of Haotian Douluo.

He glanced at Bai Yu, and Bai Yu glanced at him; the two immediately understood each other's meaning.

Since both sides have already reached a secret agreement, there is no need to let Zhao Wuji and the others know, lest the bet agreement change again.

Moreover, for Long Gong, regardless of who wins or loses between Meng Yiran and Bai Yu, he will not lose out.

Meng Yiran won; he earned a soul bone without lifting a finger.

Meng Yiran lost, but she still has time to turn things around. At worst, she can work hard to cultivate and try to defeat Bai Yu in the Soul Master Competition.

Even if Meng Yiran loses in the Soul Master Competition, it doesn't matter. It means Bai Yu is already very strong, and with Haotian Douluo as his backer, it wouldn't be a loss for Meng Yiran to become his concubine at that time.

Then, Long Gong's acting skills came to a head, and he turned to the Shrek Academy students and said:

"You previously prevented my granddaughter from obtaining a spirit ring, and now you've beaten me to it again, stealing my granddaughter's spirit bone. Zhao Wuji, do you want to fight?"

Zhao Wuji's brow twitched. Even if he were at his peak, let alone now that he was too exhausted, he might not be a match for the Dragon Duke, not to mention that there was also the Snake Granny beside him!

Wait, a soul bone?

Zhao Wuji was stunned. He looked at the soul bone in Bai Yu's hand and his whole body trembled.

This kid actually got a soul bone?

So Zhao Wuji roused himself and began to haggle with Long Gong. Even though he was no match for Long Gong now, he used all his persuasive skills to prevent the soul bone from falling into the wrong hands.

After some haggling, the Dragon Lord suddenly said:

"Alright, I won't bully you anymore. How about this, let Bai Yu and my granddaughter have another match. Whoever wins gets the soul bone, how about that?"
