206: No, is that right?
Inside the hotel.
Fang Bai, sitting cross-legged on the bed, opened his eyes and sighed softly, "My sin, my sin, I've crushed another ant."
Steady as a seasoned schemer, Fang Bai naturally wouldn't let Chang Qi leave easily, and he had already guessed that the other party wanted to backstab him. In that case, he had to strike first!
Although Chang Qi had served as their manual labor driver along the way, Fang Bai enjoyed being ungrateful!
With a thought, the entire large bed was covered with various demon crystals and spirit plants. These were all looted by him from the Chaotic Plains, and now he could only use them himself.
Fang Bai's current strength had also mostly recovered, barely reaching the seventh rank level.
His original realm was late seventh rank Dual-Element.
As long as an eighth rank didn't take action, he could walk tall anywhere!
"Restoring my strength really brings a sense of security!"
Fang Bai didn't dawdle and immediately began absorbing the energy!
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Fang Bai, who had just finished his cultivation, exhaled a breath of turbid air.
"Two more days of recovery, and I'll be back at my peak!"
A sharp light flickered in Fang Bai's eyes.
Knock, knock, knock!
Just then, there was a knock on the room door, and Yumi's sweet voice came from outside: "Brother Fang Bai, are you there?"
Fang Bai opened the door and saw Yumi standing prettily outside.
He asked in confusion, "Is something wrong?"
Yumi's small face was a bit shy as she whispered, "Can you... come to our room for a moment?"
Fang Bai smiled and asked, "Is there something about cultivation you don't understand?"
Yumi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Mhm."
Fang Bai didn't refuse and followed Yumi to their room.
"Where is your mother?"
Seeing no one in the room, Fang Bai inquired.
Yumi pointed to the bathroom and said, "Mother is taking a shower."
Hearing this, Fang Bai subconsciously looked over, and his eyes instantly widened!
The bathroom glass couldn't hide the beautiful scenery inside. Through the haze, a graceful and mature White Shadow could be seen bathing. This hazy beauty was extremely alluring!
Fang Bai's face turned red as he gave a light cough. "Yumi! This isn't right of you. How could you let me in while your mother is showering?"
Yumi's face was flushed. She said shyly, "Lord Fang Bai, we have something to tell you."
"We...?"
Fang Bai's throat felt a bit dry, as if he had guessed something... The next morning.
Fang Bai fled from a certain room and dashed into his own.
After entering the room, Fang Bai threw himself onto the large bed.
"Wait, is this right?"
He stared blankly at the ceiling, then shook his head. "Forget it, forget it. Just consider it relaxation. Cultivate, cultivate!"
At noon, Fang Bai went out with the mother and daughter.
Both the mother and daughter looked very healthy today, especially Clear Leaf. Since leaving Mukaihara, she seemed to have found a second spring, radiating mature charm!
Fang Bai's gaze lingered on the two for a moment, but he didn't mention what happened last night.
He still remembered his original intention; once the mother and daughter were settled, his mission would be complete.
As for what happened along the way, he would just treat it as a chance encounter.
Soon, Fang Bai brought them to the Cangwu Martial Arts Hall.
Yumi had already been admitted by them, but because she lived in a remote area, she had to report there herself.
The Cangwu Martial Arts Hall had quite an impressive facade, with two samurai guarding the entrance.
Fang Bai glanced at them; both guards were martial artists, and at the third rank level.
As the two guards saw the three approaching, their eyes first paused on Clear Leaf and Yumi—who wore simple clothes but couldn't hide their temperament—before landing on Fang Bai. Their tone carried a hint of routine sternness: "Please show your entry permit. If you have no appointment or admission notice, you may not enter."
Yumi hurriedly took out a neatly folded admission letter from her cloth bag and handed it over with both hands: "I am Yumi, a new student here to report."
The guard on the left took the letter and opened it to verify. His gaze swept over the signature stamp and Yumi's information. After confirming everything was correct, he didn't let them through immediately but turned his gaze back to Fang Bai and Clear Leaf: "She is a new student, but what about the two of you? Visitors must register their identities."
Clear Leaf explained, "We are Yumi's family."
The guard on the right chuckled, "I can tell. You look very much alike."
His gaze lingered unabashedly on the mother and daughter.
In their eyes, these ordinary people were the bottom of society.
Fang Bai's eyes narrowed. If he didn't want to expose his identity as a person from the Dragon Kingdom so soon, he would have started cursing already.
Then the guard on the left looked at Fang Bai and said coldly, "Show your identity credentials."
Fang Bai grinned, "Yoshi!"
He raised his hand and pressed down; the two guards immediately fell to their knees.
Their faces instantly turned fearful.
"Who... who exactly are you?!"
Fang Bai didn't answer but looked into the interior of the martial arts hall.
Soon, a Middle-aged Man walked out quickly.
He first glanced at the two kneeling guards, then looked at Fang Bai with an unfriendly gaze: "Who are you? How dare you cause trouble in the martial arts hall?"
A powerful aura erupted from him; he was actually a fifth rank martial artist!
Fang Bai didn't say a word and pressed down with the back of his hand!
Thud!
The Middle-aged Man fell to his knees without any warning!
At this moment, everyone was petrified!
The Middle-aged Man's expression changed, and he looked at Fang Bai in terror: "You..."
Clear Leaf spoke up, "We have no ill intentions; we're just here to join the Cangwu Martial Arts Hall."
The Middle-aged Man was stunned upon hearing this. "Join the Cangwu Martial Arts Hall? Do you have an admission notice?"
Yumi held the notice before his eyes, and the latter squeezed out a strained smile: "That... it turns out to be a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding!"
Fang Bai suddenly spoke, "Who is your Hall Master?"
Hearing this, the Middle-aged Man was somewhat surprised. "A person from the Dragon Kingdom?"
Clear Leaf quickly translated.
The Middle-aged Man's expression became a bit strange. "Well... I am the Hall Master."
Fang Bai: ...Even the Hall Master is kneeling?
Fang Bai withdrew his pressure and said indifferently, "Can we go in now?"
Clear Leaf acted as Fang Bai's translator.
The Hall Master nodded repeatedly. "Please, please! Come inside!"
Fang Bai and the others followed the Hall Master into the martial arts hall. The space inside was very vast, and many people were training.
After some communication, the Hall Master also remembered Yumi. "We hadn't received a response from you for a long time and thought you had given up on joining. I'm very sorry."
Yumi was also very understanding. "It's alright. So, can I study at the martial arts hall from now on?"
The Hall Master nodded hurriedly, "Of course you can!"
Absolutely! Yumi was already a first rank martial artist at such a young age, and she had such a powerful backer. The martial arts hall would definitely have to value her highly!
Fang Bai suddenly took out several gold bars and said to the Hall Master, "The mother and daughter will stay at the martial arts hall from now on. Treat them well."
The Hall Master nodded repeatedly, "Understood! Understood!"
Someone who could make him, a fifth rank martial artist, kneel so easily must be at least at the sixth rank or higher!
He couldn't afford to provoke such a powerhouse!
Bang!
Just then, a screaming figure came flying toward them!
