Chapter 229. Xiaogang Goes to the Spirit Hall.
By the end of Xiaogang's visit to the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy had already purchased all of its immortal items, with the exception of the Youxiang Qiluo immortal item and the Xuese Swan Kiss immortal item, which didn't enhance the Shrek Seven Devils' strength and were not included in the donation.
Of course, except for Ye Yang's, Ye Yang was excitedly preparing to bring out the immortal items he wanted to buy for everyone to donate!
The Tang Sect leader Miao said, "Alright, that's enough. Ye Yang, redeem the immortal items from the system mall and send them to Tang San and the others."
Miao saw through Ye Yang's thoughts and certainly didn't want them to be put into practice. It would be bad if Ye Yang became too powerful and overshadowed Tang San among the Shrek Seven Devils.
Ye Yang was anxious and said, "Wait, what about me?"
Tang Sect member Xu Kun said, "You want us to donate immortal items to you?"
Ye Yang said, "Well, what else can I do? I can't do something so thankless."
Tangmen Yifan: What do you mean by thankless? You're doing this for my three giegies. Exchange the immortal items and give them to them.
Ye Yang angrily said, "So, what do you think I am?"
Danran: Ye Yang, rebel against them. You have so much money to buy immortal items, why not do anything else? You have to be Tang San's bootlicker? Buy yourself an immortal item and add a few spirit bones. What are you afraid of? Yiqie Pinqinqishuhua:
That's right. Instead of being bullied by Shrek in Douluo Continent and those three filial sons in the live broadcast room, why not rebel, take the money, and strengthen yourself?
Tangmen Shuangjie: Ye Yang, don't listen to them. If you listen to them, no one will give you tips next time.
Tangmen: What are you doing: Ye Yang, don't forget what Miao said. The only way to have a future is to follow Tang San. Tang San has the Shura God behind him.
Ye Yang angrily declared, "Enough of you! You haters are right. Even if I embezzle this donation, so what? I'll buy myself some immortal items and build a few spirit bones to prepare for absorbing spirit rings of higher age in the future. Do the Shrek Seven Devils know? Even if they don't, I can still thrive among them."
Tang Sect Master Miao: "Ye Yang, if you do this, you'll lose our future donations."
Ye Yang said, "If you don't even let me benefit from a single thing, how can I expect to benefit from your future donations? It's better to just embezzle this money."
Tang Sect Master Miao: "Tell me, what exactly do you want?"
Ye Yang replied, "My request isn't high. I want the same treatment as Tang San!"
Tang Sect Master Miao: "You're courting death. Tang San knows the absorption method, but do you? If you absorb it, you'll probably freeze to death or burn to death."
Ye Yang pondered what Miao said, and it seemed to be the case. Although there were textual descriptions of how Tang San absorbed the energy, he didn't understand the specifics. If things didn't work out, he'd be in trouble.
Ye Yang thought for a moment and asked, "What immortal item do you think would be most suitable for me?"
Tang Sect Master Miao replied, "As for you, the Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone from the original novel would be more suitable."
Ye Yang replied, "Okay, Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone and Hope Through Autumn Water Dew—both of them." Ye Yang said.
Fearing that Ye Yang would pocket all their donations, the filial sons donated two more immortal items for him.
This time, the time traveler, Ye Yang, proved much more assertive.
After receiving the reward points, Ye Yang lived up to his promise and exchanged for Hope Through Autumn Water Dew and Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bone. After absorbing them himself, he exchanged for the other immortal items and went to find Tang San and the others.
Da Wei Lan: What a shame! What a shame! He could have hacked everyone and become a powerful warrior, but in the end, he chose to be a bootlicker. Dan Ran:
"Shouldn't die a good death for bootlickers."
Ma Hongjun wasn't optimistic at the moment. Ye Yang approached Tang San and said, "Sangie, take a look. Is this a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower?"
Tang San's pupils trembled when he saw the immortal item in Ye Yang's hand. He immediately asked, "Ye Yang, where did you get this immortal item? No, you got more than just a Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower. You also got Narcissus Jade Muscle and Bones and Longing for the Autumn Water Dew."
Ye Yang exclaimed in shock, "You can see that!"
Tang San rolled his eyes at Ye Yang and said, "It hasn't been long since I absorbed it. The scent of the immortal item hasn't dissipated yet."
"Where did you get these immortal items? Do you have any other immortal items besides these?" Tang San asked.
"Brother, I can't tell you where I got them, but besides the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, I also have Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, Fiery Apricot Vegetables, Longing for the Autumn Water Dew, Eight-Petal Fairy Orchid, Wonderful Mushroom-Heavenly Chrysanthemum, Fragrant Qiluo Immortal Item, and Ninth-Grade Purple Ganoderma," Ye Yang said.
"That's impossible! You've already absorbed the Longing Dew. How could two identical immortal products appear in the same place?" Tang San exclaimed in shock.
Ye Yang, eager to show off, pulled out a plant of Longing Dew from his spirit guide and showed it to Tang San, saying generously, "Here, Senior Brother, take a look. Is this the Longing Dew?"
"It really is." Tang San was stunned and incoherent. However, this immortal product was what he desperately needed. It would boost his spiritual power and unleash the power of the Purple Demon Eye. Tang San gazed at it with eagerness in his eyes.
"Senior Brother, you really want this immortal product, right? I'll give it to you. Here, take it and absorb it first," Ye Yang said.
Ye Yang's presentation of the immortal product made Tang San wary. Even after his divine attainment, he knew only a few auspicious locations, with the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire being the easiest to reach. It was doubtful where Ye Yang had obtained so many immortal products.
On the other hand, if these immortal items were given to the Shrek Seven Devils through Ye Yang's hands, it would undermine Tang San's position. Thinking of this, Tang San's eyes rolled, and he said, "Let me put my affairs aside for now. Hongjun's matters are more important. Give all these immortal items to me. I'll give them to Ma Hongjun."
Ye Yang had no doubts about Tang San and handed them to him. After accepting them, Tang San went to find Ma Hongjun.
When Tang San took out the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others were shocked and secretly delighted.
"Xiao San, where did you get this immortal item?" Dai Mubai said in shock.
"Hush, don't worry about where you got it. Anyway, everyone has a share of the immortal items in my hands. Let Fatty take it first."
Under Tang San's guidance, Ma Hongjun consumed the Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower immortal item, his body unconsciously refining it.
"Ma Hongjun's problem has been solved. Let's take care of the rest. Boss Dai, this is your Qirong Tongtian Ju, Oscar, this is your Eight-petal Fairy Orchid, Ning Rongrong, this is your Youxiang Qiluo Fairy Product."
After the Shrek Seven Devils absorbed the fairy products.
Dai Mubai stood up, walked to Tang San and said, "Xiao San, this is the second time. I will never forget your kindness to me. I won't say any more words. From now on, I, Dai Mubai, will be your fist. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."
Oscar said, "That's right, Xiao San, you are really my relative. Thank you."
Ning Rongrong also thanked him.
Elsewhere, Ma Hongjun's evil fire dissipated, and upon awakening, he expressed his gratitude to Tang San profusely. Tang San, in turn, absorbed the Longing for Autumn Water Dew, the Eight-Angled Mysterious Ice Grass, and the Fiery Apricot Vegetables, gaining the dual immunity to ice and fire described in the original novel.
However, Tang San's deliberate concealment minimized Ye Yang's contribution.
When Ye Yang returned to Shrek Academy, he clearly sensed that the Shrek Seven Devils hadn't thanked him for this. He frowned, but seeing Tang San's friendly attitude, he kept quiet.
Unbeknownst to Ye Yang, Shrek didn't thank Ye Yang.
Two flowers bloom, each with its own beauty. Wuhun City wasn't the continent's most prosperous capital, but it was undoubtedly a crucial city, its inhabitants primarily spirit masters.
After arriving at Spirit City, the Grandmaster gazed at the city with a dazed look in his eyes, muttering, "I can't believe it's already been over twenty years. Dong'er, I wonder if the contact information you left behind is still there?"
The Grandmaster then made preparations in the Spirit Hall's living quarters. In the Pope's Palace, numerous maids would come out to purchase supplies, including Bibi Dong's maid.
Yu Xiaogang observed the maid, who had transformed from a young girl into a middle-aged woman over the past twenty years. He couldn't help but sigh at the cruelty of time. Those without Titles couldn't withstand the ravages of time; even Titled Douluo would eventually face aging.
However, her presence meant Dong'er hadn't forgotten her, otherwise she would have long since left him.
"Huang Que'er," Yu Xiaogang called softly.
The woman initially thought she was hallucinating, but upon hearing Yu Xiaogang's soft call, she turned her head and looked towards the source. She paused for a moment, then quickly recognized the man.
The handsome young man from twenty years ago has now become a middle-aged man with a short flat head and a face full of vicissitudes.
"What are you doing here?" Huang Que asked.
"It's like this, Huang Que'er, I have something I want to tell Dong'er. Can you help me convey it?" Yu Xiaogang asked.
Huang Que thought for a while, pursed his lips and said, "Okay, but please speak softly."
Yu Xiaogang smiled, and he leaned close to Huang Que's ear and whispered.
After a while, Huang Que left cautiously.
"Your Holiness," Lin Mengtong said, "Yu Xiaogang has come to Wuhun City, and through the Saint's maid, he wants to convey to the Saint that he wants to see the Saint."
"Oh, what are the original words?" Qianxunji asked.
Lin Mengtong repeated to Qianxunji what Yu Xiaogang had said to Huang Que. Yu Xiaogang and Huang Que'er thought they were speaking quietly, unnoticed. Little did they know, from the moment Yu Xiaogang arrived in Wuhun City, he had been under Lin Mengtong's surveillance. While his strength wasn't strong enough to force the sound of his voice into a line, even with his voice being so low, it wasn't difficult for Lin Mengtong to decipher the content of the conversation.
Yu Xiaogang's message to Huang Que was that he wanted to meet with Bibi Dong.
"Do we need to capture this maid and Yu Xiaogang?" Lin Mengtong asked.
Qianxunji shook his head and said, "No, you just need to record their interaction."
Yu Xiaogang's reason for seeking Bibi Dong was primarily to gain Bibi Dong's value: a way to surpass the spirit ring-earning age requirement, and secondly, to obtain a method for cultivating twin spirits.
His early arrival was motivated by the Rose Team's provocation.
If Tang San wasn't a reborn being, Qian Xunji might have stopped him. But after learning that he was, would Qian Xunji's attempts to stop him still make sense? No, Tang San knew both methods perfectly well, and didn't even need to ask Bibi Dong.
The reason he allowed Bibi Dong and Yu Xiaogang to interact was simply to foster a better relationship between them, allowing Qian Xunji to profit from them more easily.
"Yes, Your Holiness," Lin Mengtong said.
In Bibi Dong's bedroom, Huang Que, after finishing his shopping, approached Bibi Dong and said, "Your Highness, the Saint, he wishes to see you."
"Him?" Bibi Dong was momentarily stunned.
"The one from twenty years ago," Huang Que said.
Bibi Dong was stunned. The one from twenty years ago, Yu Xiaogang?
Bibi Dong fell silent!
Over a decade ago, if she had heard Huang Que's report, she would have reacted immediately when she mentioned the word "him."
Furthermore, when Bibi Dong heard the words "Yu Xiaogang," she wasn't as enthusiastic as she had been back then.
What was going on?
Bibi Dong asked herself, "Do you still love Yu Xiaogang?" She couldn't answer.
Unbeknownst to her, Qian Renxue's growing weight in her heart had caused Yu Xiaogang's weight to decline. Over the years, Bibi Dong's heart was no longer focused on Yu Xiaogang, but Qian Renxue.
Bibi Dong said, "Okay, tell him to wait for me at the old place tonight."
"Yes, miss," Huang Que said.
Although Yu Xiaogang's weight in her heart had faded, he had still been a constant obsession for Bibi Dong over the years. She figured it would be best to meet him, no matter what.
Yu Xiaogang was ecstatic upon receiving Bibi Dong's response, and soon he went to the same place where they had once visited the lantern festival.
Looking at the lantern display before him, which hadn't changed much from over twenty years earlier, he suddenly remembered his time with Bibi Dong, and a sweet feeling welled up in his heart.
Immediately, Yu Xiaogang looked at the Pope's Palace with resentment. There, locked up were his two former girlfriends, Liu Erlong and Bibi Dong. Damn it, he'd been cuckolded by Qian Xunji. The thought of this made Yu Xiaogang's lungs explode with rage.
"Fortunately, I've already recruited a gifted disciple, Qian Xunji. One day, I'll repay the humiliation of the past a hundredfold," Yu Xiaogang said firmly.
As Yu Xiaogang spoke, a gentle voice came from behind him.
"Xiaogang, what do you want to talk to me about?"
