Chapter 553 I Will Make Her Wish Come True
The inner island was in chaos early in the morning.
Soon, the outer islands also suddenly became noisy.
The old man was chased and fled all the way to the street, which immediately attracted countless exclamations, and countless people jumped out to greet him in surprise.
"Poison Master? It's really Poison Master! You're back?!"
"Long time no see, Du Lao, you are still in good health!"
"I didn't expect to see you again... Old Du, did your granddaughter like the headband you picked out for her from me a few years ago?"
"Old Poison, this is my newly opened pharmacy. Many of the medicines sold here come from the Poison King Valley. If you're interested, come and have a look! Leave a comment!"
The old man's steps as he fled slowed down unconsciously. He opened his triangular eyes wide and looked at the people who popped out to greet him on the streets, feeling extremely surprised.
He grabbed the moon-robed man who rushed over to cover him with the pot lid, "Bai Xiaofeng, Grandpa is so loved by everyone! Did Grandpa practice medicine here before?"
"..." Bai Xiaofeng's mouth twitched, and he flicked his sleeve to shake off his claws. "I'm not a doctor of medicine, huh... I'm just an unparalleled poison master, so I have a little reputation."
"At least a little? Impossible! Look at them, they are so enthusiastic towards Grandpa! You must be lying to me!"
"Use your little brain to think about it, are you a kind person who wants to help the world and do good?"
If you think about it carefully, he is indeed not.
"He's so popular even though he's not a good person. Doesn't that just prove that the old man is incredibly charming?"
"As long as you're happy." Bai Xiaofeng suppressed the urge to roll his eyes and walked back with his hands behind his back. There were people coming and going on the street, and he had no interest in letting others watch the fun.
The old man watched him leave and followed him with his rumbling stomach, "Bai Xiaofeng, shall we go to the teahouse next door for breakfast? I'm hungry."
"It's none of my business if you're hungry—" Bai Xiaofeng glanced and turned his eyes, his sight inadvertently passing over the white-haired old woman with red eyes who was about to rush out from the alley on the side. A cold light flashed in his snake eyes, and he shot a hidden weapon towards the alley with a flick of his fingers.
The wooden barrel placed on the steps of the shop at the entrance of the alley fell down with a loud noise, trapping the old woman inside.
This old woman is so lucky! She is ninety years old and still hasn't seen the King of Hell!
"Hmm? What's that sound?" The old man looked around when he heard the sound.
Bai Xiaofeng stretched out his arms and pulled him over, the wide sleeves of his moon robe easily obscuring his vision. "Don't you want to go to the teahouse? Let's go."
"Are you really treating me? I'm not going to refuse you, I'm a big eater!"
"Humph, the thing I lack the least is money."
The waiter from the carpentry shop ran out in a hurry and picked up several wooden barrels that had rolled down the alley. He glanced at the old woman who was sitting on the ground, her face pale with fear, and felt no sympathy.
The residents around who had just greeted the old man with poison returned to their own places as if nothing had happened and did not go up to help him, so as to avoid being entangled.
"I wonder who that person in the white robe was..."
"No matter who they are, we can't afford to offend them. I saw it clearly just now. Those barrels were not blown over by the wind for no reason."
"It seems that what Du Lao said back then was true. He has been displaced for most of his life, but now he is blessed with many people protecting him in his old age."
"Hey, did Poison Master just run away from the inner island? That's the territory of the Killing Palace, and outsiders don't even dare to get close! I guess Poison Master must be related to the Killing Palace!"
"Oh my! If Poison Master is related to the Killing Palace, then those who want to take advantage of him should be careful! Be careful not to miss out on your plan, or you'll really lose your life! The Ghost Emperor is not a soft-hearted person, he won't show mercy to anyone just because they are old!"
The silver-haired old woman who had been sitting blankly at the entrance of the alley got up tremblingly and disappeared into the depths of the alley as if escaping.
In the rear, contempt was heard everywhere.
At the same time, dark shadows were quietly hiding in the dark corners of the long street, secretly passing on the latest news from the island.
On the roof of the Suoyan Tower on the inner island, two figures stood side by side behind the open stained glass window, one in white and the other in green.
"Godfather is too concerned about his reputation, but every time he makes a lot of noise but does little." Bai Yu looked away and chuckled.
Tian Bao leaned against the windowsill with both hands, a faint smile on her face under the golden light of the morning sun, "I want to see my godfather's account book."
The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.
I wonder how high that legendary account book is piled up.
"When did you buy this island?" Tianbao asked.
Bai Yu imitated her, leaning against the window. He turned his head to look at her profile, his peach blossom eyes full of tenderness. "Two and a half years ago. I had planned to give you a surprise on your birthday that year."
"This place is too far from the Land of Exile. Even if you buy it, it will mostly remain unused."
“Although it’s a bit far, the scenery is beautiful and it’s quiet away from the hustle and bustle. It’s a nice place to spend a vacation when you have some free time.”
"Vacation?"
"Tianbao, how about we come here and live for a month or two every year after we get married?"
The topic jumped too quickly, Tianbao, "???"
"In the Land of Exile, there are twelve hours a day. Excluding the five hours for eating and sleeping, Grandpa Du takes up at least one hour, Xiao Mi Sui takes half an hour, Bing Er takes half an hour, and Nian Nian Sui Sui takes one hour. The occasional interruptions add up to two hours, so the remaining two hours are barely mine," Bai Yu leaned closer and blinked. "I don't think that's enough time. What do you think?"
“…” Tianbao pushed his head away with a palm, turned over and jumped out of the window.
Suoyan Tower is the tallest building on the inner island. After Bai Yu bought it, he specially expanded the Suoyan Tower to seven stories high.
Looking at the green shadow that flew away in an instant, Bai Yu was stunned for a moment, then laughed silently.
When his laughter stopped, Huiying appeared at the right time, "My lord, the Nansang army has arrived at the border of Dongpu. The two armies have already engaged. Nansang has dispatched 200 divine soldiers and 1,000 soul soldiers, and they are unstoppable."
Bai Yu leaned against the windowsill and turned back, his eyes still smiling with joy. His tone was cool, "Dongpu and Beixiang are close neighbors, and if one of them is dead, the other will be in danger. The Emperor of Dongpu will definitely persuade Wen Renjing to join forces with the two countries to fight the enemy. Nansang's overwhelming momentum won't last long. Wen Renjing is no fool. Since he can concoct a fake magic weapon, he must have studied how to counter it. Let's hold our troops and watch the show unfold."
"My Lord, do you want to wait until the strength of Dongpu and Beixiang is greatly reduced before taking action?"
"That depends on when Emperor Dongpu and Wenren Jing come to ask for help. Tianbao wants to avenge Master, and I will certainly let her do so."
"I understand."
Bai Yu curled his lips, jumped up, and followed the woman's escape route to find his Jiuer.
