In the dark arena, inside the treatment room.
Ah Yin brought the restless white crane here, and the faint floral fragrance of Jiang Zhu still lingered in the room.
"Miss Jiangzhu seems to have gone out on business," Ah Yin's voice was gentle and soothing. "I will take care of the old gentleman's injuries."
Bai He was flattered and quickly waved his hand, saying, "I dare not trouble you, Your Excellency..."
But before she could finish speaking, Ah Yin simply raised her slender hand and pointed at him from afar.
A wisp of crystalline blue vine sprouted from her palm, like a living serpent, and instantly wrapped around the white crane's injured waist and arm.
Immediately afterwards, an incomparably pure and warm life energy surged into the white crane's body along the vines.
Although Ah Yin is not a professional healing-type Soul Master, as a 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, her control over life force has long reached a state of perfection.
"this...!"
Baihe felt a warm current flow through his entire body, and a tingling, itchy sensation came from the broken bones.
The burning pain was subsiding at an astonishing rate.
He stared in disbelief at the scene before him, and within a few short breaths, all pain vanished!
This treatment method is simply unheard of!
The white crane stretched its limbs, staring in astonishment at the gentle woman in the blue dress before it.
At the same time, he also sensed the vast life force emanating from the other party!
Another powerful expert at the Title Douluo level!
Moreover, the life force of this energy was even stronger than that of any other Title Douluo he had ever seen!
He couldn't help but recall the scene he had just witnessed in Green Park.
The Ice Scorpion woman, known as the "Ice Emperor," brutally beat a ferocious dragon beast with at least 300,000 years of cultivation.
Yet, he was as respectful as a maid in front of the "brother" his own granddaughter had recognized.
Bai He swallowed, feeling a dryness in his throat.
He hesitated for a long time, but finally couldn't help himself and cautiously cupped his hands in greeting, asking:
"Sir...may I ask where exactly this place is?"
"Who is that senior who taught my granddaughter?"
In this continent where strength reigns supreme, even though the woman before him looked much younger than him.
But who knows if it's some kind of ageless monster? That's why Baihe adopted a very humble attitude.
Ah Yin naturally knew the story between Bai Chenxiang and the king through the sky she had just seen, and she smiled gently at her grandfather:
"No need for such formalities, sir."
"This is the Dark Night Duel Arena."
"As for that one..."
A hint of reverence flashed in Ah Yin's eyes as she said softly, "He is the master of this place; you can call him—the King."
"A Dark Night Duel Arena?!"
The white crane's pupils suddenly contracted, and it cried out in alarm.
So this is the mysterious force that's been making headlines lately, with three beauties making it onto the list of most beautiful women?!
He had previously speculated about what kind of force this was!
I never imagined that I would end up here so confused and clueless.
and...
He had only seen three people in the dueling arena, each one more terrifying and unfathomable than the last!
The concentration of powerful individuals here is just too high!
Is this force... truly just a human force?
The images of Hyotei and Murasaki's ferocious beast forms involuntarily surfaced in his mind, and a bold idea, so daring it frightened even himself, popped into his head.
Could this be... a lair built by a ferocious beast that has transformed into human form?
Could the person in front of me also be...?
Thinking of this, Baihe stiffened, and even dared not look directly into Ayin's gentle eyes.
He was terrified. The man called the king, though handsome and extraordinary, was still a sight to behold.
But how terrifying must he be to be able to control so many terrifying beings?
The white crane felt a chill run down its spine.
But when he thought of his granddaughter's infatuated look and the other person's doting expression, he couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
Never mind... children and grandchildren have their own blessings.
As the grandfather, he should just stay out of the spotlight...
After Ah Yin healed his injuries, she personally led him to a luxurious guest room and gently instructed him:
"Please rest here, sir, and do not wander around."
"If you're interested, you can watch the game from the terrace on the third floor."
...
After seeing Ah Yin off, Bai He, filled with curiosity, went up to the terrace on the third floor of the room.
My vision suddenly opened up.
Below them was a huge, circular arena, brightly lit and bustling with noise.
The cheers of tens of thousands of spectators were deafening, like a tsunami.
In the center of the arena, a group of girls dressed in revealing dance costumes were performing a lively dance, creating an extremely enthusiastic atmosphere.
The audience was chanting a name wildly:
"Snow Dance! Snow Dance!"
The white crane subconsciously looked up at the sky.
Above the sky, the golden list hangs high.
[Ranking on the Most Beautiful Women - Number Twenty-One: Xue Wu]
And her identity remains... Dark Night Duel Arena!
Bai He was greatly surprised. Another one? And just a dancer? He quickly turned his gaze back to the arena.
Sure enough, in the very center of the dance group, he saw a tall woman with cascading black hair.
Her dance moves were enchanting and captivating, and her appearance and temperament were no less impressive than her own granddaughter's.
Seeing this scene, Baihe felt a mix of emotions, and a bitter feeling welled up inside him.
She was also listed among the most beautiful women.
His granddaughter's inclusion on the list brought endless pursuit and nearly led to the extermination of his entire clan.
The woman in front of us, who was also on the list, was able to dance flawlessly in front of tens of thousands of spectators, enjoying everyone's cheers...
Tens of thousands of Soul Master spectators were present, yet not one dared to harbor any evil thoughts!
"Is this... the difference between having a powerful backer and not having one?"
The white crane smiled bitterly, then let out a long sigh of relief.
"That's enough, that's enough."
"Although Xiangxiang suffered a bit, at least her suffering has finally come to an end."
Looking at the tens of thousands of enthusiastic spectators and feeling the terrifying power within the arena, Bai He felt completely at ease.
Retire here, it doesn't seem like a bad idea?
...
Meanwhile, at Green Park.
After settling the white crane, Ah Yin vanished and returned to the tranquil space.
However.
She habitually looked around.
The next moment, he froze.
Not far away, under the huge Keling fruit tree, petals were fluttering down.
Two figures were huddled together.
Bai Chenxiang's originally innocent face was now flushed, and her eyes were glazed over.
The sound carried on the wind was a girl's suppressed yet emotional murmur.
"ah...!
Her dignified and poised face instantly turned bright red, like a ripe tomato, and she stood there helplessly.
She knew the king must have sensed her arrival, but he seemed busy with "important matters" and ignored her...
For a moment, Ah Yin stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay, not knowing what to do with her hands and feet.
Just then.
Perhaps it's because Gintoki's presence is too strong.
Bai Chenxiang, who was in a daze and was originally engrossed in her thoughts, glanced at the scene unintentionally.
They met Ah Yin's shy and embarrassed eyes from not far away.
Bai Chenxiang was instantly startled like a rabbit, her mind went blank, and all her lust turned into shame.
"Brother... um... brother..."
She frantically tried to get up, her voice trembling with tears and shame: "Someone...someone is watching..."
Qin Chen glanced helplessly at Ah Yin, who was standing there like a wooden stake.
"Buzz!"
With a thought, darkness instantly enveloped the two of them.
The figure under the tree disappeared in the next second.
Immediately afterwards, from the exquisite little wooden house not far away, one could faintly hear Bai Chenxiang humming a tune she hadn't finished, only now the melody was a bit higher.
Ah Yin was left standing alone in the wind, listening to the faint sound, her face flushed red as if it were about to bleed.
She bit her lip, not daring to leave, and could only stand obediently in place and guard.
This vigil lasted for a full four hours.
