Douluo: I Am Unparalleled in the World

"""

"Hey, that's not right, Old Peel, I wasn't done speaking yet, and you're ready to go rest? It's still early, not even dark yet."

What he wanted to say was about the Pontiff of Spirit Hall joining the team on a mission to Aquipeia Forest to look for a hundred-thousand-year soul beast!!

Is this true or just a lie, it sounds somewhat unbelievable!

"Old Poison, come find me in my room after half an hour."

Ye Feng said directly.

Du Gubo looked confusedly at Ye Feng.

"What's the situation, why do I need to come to your room in half an hour? If there's something to tell me, why not now but wait half an hour?"

Can't figure out what Old Peel is up to this time!

This kid wouldn't be up to some trick again, trying to scam me into doing something for him, would he!

Suddenly, Ye Feng's gaze turned to Du Gubo.

"Hiss--!"

Ultimately, it's up to you whether to listen to me or to yourself.

At this moment, Du Gubo seemed to understand something!

"Alright, then I'll do as you ask and find you in half an hour."

Du Gubo immediately responded.

Then, Ye Feng headed upstairs.

The top floor was his private residence, an area off-limits without his permission, the consequences of which were unimaginable.

"It's just so comfortable, it's been a long time since I've had a hot bath."

Ye Feng hummed a tune while bathing.

Such bliss!

His bathroom was all steamy, so thick you couldn't see your hand in front of your face, and only his singing could be heard.

Hulena is to be the new generation Pope!

The Pontiff of Spirit Hall thinks so highly of her; it's impossible for Hulena not to feel the pressure!

Too bad Evil Moon has been working hard but still hasn't caught Bi Bidong's eye!

Poor guy!

System!

[Ding, host, you have an unread message. Please check it promptly.]

Ye Feng opened the message box as prompted by the system.

Can't you let me enjoy a hot bath in peace? The timing of this system is really inconvenient, can't it let me have some peace!

Well, it's good anyway, I want to see what kind of message would come at this time that seems so urgent!

[The Pontiff of Spirit Hall will arrive within half an hour. Please arrange your time accordingly, host.]

What is going on!

Has the system's brain gone haywire? What does the Pontiff of Spirit Hall want with me?

This has to be some kind of mistake!

Damn, I wish I hadn't checked the message; it's just spoiling my mood!!

Sometimes, I really want to smash this system to smithereens!

Ye Feng just about has endless tasks every day!

I was planning to enjoy the evening, but then I received a message that Bi Bidong would be visiting in half an hour!

Could it be about their hunt for the hundred-thousand-year soul beast and an invitation for me to join them?

The capture of Xiaowu is a major matter, directly involving Tang San!

But currently, Tang San and his father Tang Hao are still in Sunset Forest, and I have no idea if they have come out. I managed to escape using a Substitute, but I can't be sure if they're still in the forest!

If they haven't left the forest, then there would be nothing to stop Spirit Hall from easily getting the hundred-thousand-year soul beast and extracting Xiaowu's Soul Ring.

When the Pope comes, if she shares the same thoughts as me, I have no objections; I would even be happy to cooperate with Spirit Hall.

After all, Spirit Hall's people have saved me before; I can't just not take their side.

But why does the Pope herself need to come in person?

That's also good in a way, inviting someone actively does show sincerity!!

At this moment, Ye Feng probably has an idea in mind!

"Dong dong--"

The doorbell rang!

"Ye Feng!"

She's come too fast!

There's still a long way to go before half an hour's up; how did she get here so quickly!

It seems the situation is urgent, probably a change of plans.

But my system didn't notify me in advance.

At that moment, Ye Feng's brain went blank.

Ye Feng stood up, his body completely bare.

Somewhat anxious.

He didn't even know for sure if the person outside the door was the Pope.

He then quickly grabbed a bathrobe and put it on.

If it weren't for the fact that the person kept knocking persistently, he wouldn't have just worn a bathrobe, making it look very casual!

"Who is it!?"

"What, it's you, you old geezer, you scared me half to death."

"Old Poison, did you need to see me about an emergency, or some problem you can't solve by yourself and need my help with?"

Ye Feng said with a cool demeanor.

Du Gubo looked at Ye Feng with a stern face.

From his expression, it seemed he was compelled, with no other choice, to come find Ye Feng!

"You're the one who asked me to find you in half an hour; have you soaked so long your brain has waterlogged?"

Du Gubo said irritably.

Why so angry, it's because he has too many things to manage all alone.

They had staff at Qing Feng Tea House, but they've been on break these past two days, leaving only Du Gubo and a young boy to help out.

Originally, Du Gubo was only responsible for recruiting and training students; now he's almost become an all-rounder!

""

There is always something that needs to be done, and once it starts, it lasts from day until night!

"Oh, I almost forgot about this matter."

Ye Feng's face was filled with an awkward smile.

"I am truly sorry, Old Poison, it seems you'll need to head back first, as I don't wish to discuss matters concerning the Martial Soul Hall today."

In reality, he just didn't want to talk with Du Gubo.

If it got any later, Bi Bidong would be looking for him, so he turned the other down.

Du Gubo was supposed to help look after the business in the shop.

The shop's business was also very important!

"What, you don't want to talk anymore? Then why didn't you notify me earlier?"

"Old Peel, are you growing tired of me, not wanting to let me join you in capturing Xiaowu in the Aquipeia Forest?"

How could he know about the plan to capture Xiaowu alive!

It seemed Old Poison knew quite a lot.

Du Gubo spoke with a tone of anger.

Of course, he was furious that Ye Feng had bluntly told him that Martial Souls were none of his business, meaning his own matters were of no concern to Du Gubo!

"No, you're overthinking it. I just feel it's better not to get you involved, to spare you unnecessary trouble. Besides, Tang San and his father might appear, and you have a grudge with Tang Hao, don't you? Your conflict has not been settled yet, so I suggest you better not go."

Ye Feng spoke outright.

"Old Flayer, do you actually plan to collaborate with the Martial Soul Hall to capture Xiaowu alive? Aren't you afraid that Tang Hao and his people won't let you off the hook?"

"Besides, missing out on such a good opportunity without me, don't you think it's a bit of a waste?"

Although Du Gubo's words were different from Ye Feng's, he still hoped to join Ye Feng in doing something big!

"But that depends on whether the Martial Soul Hall agrees to include you in their team. Even I am not sure if I'll be part of their team, so Old Poison, you should prepare yourself mentally."

"Old Poison, I'll have to go out for a bit later. So, the shop's matters will trouble you to look after, okay?"

That was what Ye Feng said at the moment.

Du Gubo was completely confused.

With Ye Feng going out at this time, he couldn't be secretly meeting with people from the Martial Soul Hall without me, could he?

No, I can't let him go alone and leave me to guard the Qing Feng Tea House by myself.

"Don't tell me you've arranged a time with the people from the Martial Soul Hall and are about to set off. You're not planning to deceive me and leave without me, are you? Old Peel, you are too unrighteous for not planning to call me along."

"Ah, that's really disheartening."

Du Gubo shook his head and said.

At the same time, he clutched his chest.

Implying to Ye Feng that one shouldn't be too unrighteous!

"You've misunderstood me; I really have an urgent matter. Old Poison, don't keep nagging at me. I told you I would speak to His Holiness and try to take you with us. You have to give me some time to ask, all right?"

Ye Feng said to Du Gubo.

"Alright, I'll trust you this once."

"Go ahead, I'll wait for you in the tea house until you're back. Remember to notify me before you go looking for Xiaowu. If you deceive me, I will never let you off."

Du Gubo spoke with a serious tone.

"Okay, Old Poison, you can rest assured."

Ye Feng's demeanor was smug.

Soon after, he disappeared on the spot.

"Your Holiness, what do you want with me that you personally sought me out and summoned me here?"

Ye Feng surveyed the surroundings and didn't spot anyone suspicious!

He was worried that Du Gubo might sneakily follow him, so he felt somewhat uneasy.

In truth, he genuinely wished for Du Gubo not to accompany him to the Aquipeia Forest.

"I came here to tell you that we're going to the Aquipeia Forest in a few days in search of a hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Would you be willing to join our Martial Soul Hall team?"

The System indeed hadn't deceived him; the truth he heard was that Her Holiness had come to invite Ye Feng to the Aquipeia Forest.

"Oh, is that so? A hundred-thousand-year soul beast is not easy to find!"

"Considering how immense the Aquipeia Forest is, locating a hundred-thousand-year soul beast is no simple task."

Ye Feng said in response.

"What, do you doubt the strength of our Martial Soul Hall? Besides, inviting you along is to show off a bit. Watch how we capture a hundred-thousand-year soul beast."

The Pope's posture exuded confidence.

Capturing a hundred-thousand-year soul beast might sound difficult, but it's not really – the trouble lies in the process of capturing it alive!

It's unavoidable!

Ye Feng was already well aware of the Pope's intentions for seeking him out.

"You're very keen to seek revenge, aren't you? The opportunity is here; don't you want to personally kill Tang San to settle down? Have I struck a nerve?"

This woman knew quite a lot.

She remembered that Ye Feng had a very poor relationship with Tang San and his son.

Whenever they met, it would lead to a fight to the death.

"Your Holiness, I indeed want to kill Tang San, but now I cannot. To be honest, it's hard with just my strength, because with Tang Hao there, I'm not up to it."

It was way too difficult; last time, he barely survived an encounter with Tang Hao.

Fortunately, he was tough enough to escape a close call!

If he ran into Tang Hao again, the trouble would be even greater!

However, with the Martial Soul Hall present, he had more confidence and was less scared!

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a Hao Tian Douluo. You're also very talented; you have to believe in yourself."

It wasn't that he lacked confidence, but facing up to it was truly too damaging to his body!

It depleted his strength tremendously.

The Pope noticed Ye Feng's hesitation!!

"How about we collaborate? You help me capture Xiaowu, and I'll deal with Tang Hao. How does that sound? Should I give you some time to think it over?"

The Pope said to Ye Feng.

She felt it necessary to make a deal with Ye Feng!

"Well, alright then, let's agree to that."

Ye Feng agreed readily to her proposal.
