At this point, Bo Saixi completely stopped responding to the messages. No matter how much everyone chatted or called out to her in the group, she remained silent and did not send another word. The entire morning passed by quietly as the group continued their journey.
The Seven Treasures Little Princess sent a message to the group. Brother Su Yan, we should reach our destination around evening. Tomorrow morning, we will enter the Spirit Beast forest to begin our hunt. When exactly do you think you will be back with us?
Su Yan replied quickly. I will be there by dinner time.
Yanzi is not a Swallow sent several question marks in response.
Group Member Number Nine added. Dinner time? Are you serious?
The Seven Treasures Little Princess asked another question. Didn't you just leave this morning? How can you possibly be back that fast?
Inside the carriage, the atmosphere was a bit tense. Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked at each other with confusion. They then turned their heads toward Su Yan and asked him directly. The destination you mentioned earlier, isn't it the closest entrance to the Star Dou Great Forest from Suotuo City?
Su Yan looked at them and nodded his head calmly.
Dugu Yan sighed, feeling a bit exasperated by his answer. Forget about making it back tonight, we probably won't even make it there by tomorrow at this rate. The carriage is just too slow. It will take at least several days to reach that far, unless we can find high-grade Spirit Beast fast horses and ride them individually without stopping.
Ye Lingling thought for a moment before she added her thoughts. Even if we had the best horses, it might still be late into the night before we arrive. We have already wasted a whole morning just traveling in this carriage.
I know that, Su Yan said calmly. We will go into the city for a nice meal later. After we eat, we will simply fly there this afternoon.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling looked a bit worried when they heard his plan. Flying such a long distance while carrying both of us seems like a lot. I don't know how much spirit power it will consume. We are about to enter the dangerous Star Dou Great Forest. Isn't it too risky to use up all your energy before we even get there?
Liu Erlong joined the chat. Are you guys really going to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt for spirit rings already?
Bibi Dong sent a message immediately. You are just bragging, aren't you? I remember the Little Princess and her group are currently in Suotuo City. You only left Heaven Dou City this morning. Do you really expect us to believe you will be in Suotuo City by tonight?
Inside the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena saw the message and felt nervous. She quickly spoke to her teacher to remind her. Teacher, why are you starting an argument with Su Yan again?
Bibi Dong looked at Hu Liena and spoke in a grumpy tone. This little scoundrel is clearly bragging. I finally caught a weakness in his words. Shouldn't I try to win back some face after all the times he has annoyed me?
Hu Liena looked indifferent and asked a simple question. Then how are you so sure that they cannot make it there on time? If they find suitable high-grade Spirit Beast fast horses, it is not an impossible task.
Bibi Dong thought about it for a second and then shook her head. It is impossible. Look at how slowly they were eating melons this morning. They must be traveling in a carriage, not riding fast horses.
Su Yan sent a message to the group. Don't worry about me. I have my own rhythm and plan. Bibi Dong, do you actually dare to question me again?
Bibi Dong replied. You tell me first, how do you plan to arrive by dinner time? I want to hear your bragging.
Su Yan replied. I will fly there.
Bibi Dong laughed through her messages. Hahaha! Su Yan, you have really gotten bold now. A Spirit Emperor with only six spirit rings thinks he can fly from Heaven Dou City to Suotuo City in one afternoon? If you are really so powerful, why don't you just ascend to the heavens right now?
I Am an Orphan messaged the group. Here we go again.
Liu Erlong added. The old woman still hasn't learned her lesson!
Bibi Dong ignored them and sent another message. Don't you dare mute me. If you have the guts, prove it to me.
Su Yan asked. So you are saying you are very brave today?
Whether I, Bibi Dong, am brave or not is something you don't need to tell me. Just present the facts. If you are so capable and sure of yourself, let's make a bet right now.
Su Yan replied. That is just what I wanted. Tell me, what do you want to bet?
Inside the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was getting very anxious. Teacher, have you really lost your mind? You actually want to humiliate yourself again!
Bibi Dong looked at her student and spoke. You are so stupid! This is my wisdom at work. I want to bet for one level of spirit power. Do you really think I am just mindlessly arguing with him for no reason?
Hu Liena was confused. She thought for a moment and asked. Then what happens if you lose the bet, Teacher?
Bibi Dong smiled slightly. Lose? It doesn't matter. If I lose, he can do whatever he wants to me. I can afford to lose many times. But I only need to win against him once to get what I want.
Bibi Dong sent a message to the group. Let's bet one level of spirit power or a special spirit ring from the system.
The Seven Treasures Little Princess replied. Wait, Bibi Dong, do you even have those things to give?
The Cat in the Shadows added. Are you just making empty promises?
Yanzi is not a Swallow laughed. Hahaha! As expected of the Supreme Pontiff. Your wishful thinking is basically slapping us in the face. You are betting things you don't even own yet.
Bibi Dong replied. I don't have those items now, but I can give them to him later if I win them or seize them. Or I can bet whatever else Su Yan wants from me.
Su Yan replied. You are not only beautiful, but you also think very beautifully.
Tang Yuehua joined the conversation. Bibi Dong is smart. She knows Su Yan is proud because he is a Transmigrator. Even if Su Yan knows she has a little scheme, he will still take the bet with her.
Liu Erlong asked. Old woman, do you really have that much confidence this time?
I Am an Orphan replied. She has no confidence at all. This is a business with no risk for her. Bibi Dong loses nothing whether she wins or loses this bet.
Bibi Dong sent an angry message. All of you shut up. Su Yan, do you actually dare to bet with me?
Su Yan replied. I am thinking about what I want from you. I definitely cannot let you get away with empty promises. You tell me first, what are you actually prepared to put on the line for me?
Inside the Spirit Hall, Hu Liena saw an opportunity and jumped in. Teacher, bet me! Use me as the stake for the bet!
Bibi Dong looked at her with surprise.
Hu Liena sent a message to the group. My Teacher has decided. She will bet me. I am the stake for this bet.
The Seven Treasures Little Princess replied. You are such a clever little imp!
Tang Yuehua warned her. Hu Liena, have you really thought this through? If you lose a bet like this, you will become a slave. You will be destined to serve the cat girl and the others like a beast of burden for the rest of your life!
Loves Eating Carrots added. Come on then.
Yanzi is not a Swallow asked. Hu Liena, do you really dare to accept that challenge?
Hu Liena quickly sent another message. I was just joking! My Teacher loves me so much. How could she possibly use me as a stake in a bet?
Hu Liena shrank her neck back in fear. She was a woman who was determined to be the main wife of Su Yan, not a slave.
I Am an Orphan replied. You are just as brainless as Bibi Dong.
Bibi Dong sent a final challenge. Alright, stop with the nonsense. Su Yan, do you dare to bet or not? You can name any conditions you want. If you lose, you must give me one level of spirit power or a spirit ring.
Su Yan replied. Absolutely! I have already decided on the terms. If you lose, you will have to wash and massage my feet. If I lose, I will give you one level of spirit power or a system spirit ring.
The group went silent for a moment. This was a shocking condition.
Inside the Spirit Hall, Bibi Dong froze. Her expression became very conflicted and angry. She thought to herself that this little scoundrel actually wanted her to wash his feet. It felt like a very big sacrifice to her pride. She was the dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall. How could she wash the feet of a young man?
The Seven Treasures Little Princess laughed. Hahaha!
Liu Erlong added. Su Yan, you are really awesome! You have completely cornered the old woman. She probably won't dare to take the bet now.
Tang Yuehua said. Imagine the dignified Pope of the Spirit Hall having to wash a man's feet.
Group Member Number Nine said. Remember to take pictures and share them with all of us when it happens!
I Am an Orphan sent an ellipsis.
Loves Eating Carrots asked. Is the old woman perhaps too scared to bet now?
Bibi Dong stayed quiet, unable to make up her mind. Originally, she thought this was just a game of empty promises. She never thought Su Yan would come up with such a move. If she lost, she would lose all her face and dignity.
Hu Liena looked at Bibi Dong with some hesitation and spoke softly. Teacher, how about we try betting with him anyway?
Bibi Dong's gaze sharpened instantly. She looked at Hu Liena with great displeasure and scolded her. Are you trying to see your Teacher wash his feet? You ungrateful little wretch!
