Douluo: I Am Unparalleled in the World

Yu Xiaogang simply couldn't bear to watch any longer and decided to join them!

Thus, the three men began drinking together in the same house, accompanied by some snacks—what a delightful treat!

A dish of peanuts, three roast geese, two roast chickens, and some sweet treats were enough to stuff them all!

This made Old Chrysanthemum ecstatic!

His face was all smiles throughout.

"Not bad, Old Poison, the Dugu Family's stuff is pretty tasty, a million times better than what we have in the Martial Soul Hall," he said.

Indeed, one tends to speak softly when eating another's food, and complimenting free food comes naturally!

Not starving to death was indeed quite good.

"Hmph! Flayer, just look at him, gorging like a starving ghost, as if he never had enough to eat in his past life. He comes to my Dugu Family and eats like a maniac, and it's an ugly sight to behold."

"He's utterly disgracing the Martial Soul Hall. How can such a person even exist?" Du Gubo muttered under his breath.

His words were caught by Chrysanthemum Douluo, whose deathly gaze then shifted toward Du Gubo.

"Old Chrysanthemum, as expected, you're nothing but a stingy rooster, not willing to part with a single feather. I'm going to feast on your family's provisions, what are you going to do about it? Swallow me whole? You're far too petty."

"What kind of friends would ever want to spend time with you in the future?"

When it came to friends, it seemed Du Gubo really didn't have many!

He was mostly a loner unless he hung out with Ye Feng, which probably explained his lack of friends due to his miserliness!

"I don't need friends of the human kind; I prefer to be alone. Too many friends just bring too much trouble, and I dislike that," he asserted.

"Especially people like you, Old Chrysanthemum, with such shamefully thick skin, seeking me out on your own accord."

"Now, out with it! What business do you have seeking me, Du Gubo, at my very doorstep?"

Du Gubo asked with a cold attitude.

Wasn't Du Gubo's question utterly rhetorical?!

Of course, it was Bi Bidong who had sent him to find you and hunt the hundred-thousand-year soul beast together before delivering it to her.

"But have you considered the possibility of failure? How would you explain to them if the hundred-thousand-year soul beast ends up in someone else's hands?"

He even managed to think of such a hypothetical situation.

Why fixate on the possibility of failure? With their combined strength, the three of them surely had the capacity to capture Xiaowu.

It was just a matter of seeing if the three of them could work together to complete the task given by Bi Bidong!!

"I never guaranteed that I could definitely capture the hundred-thousand-year soul beast; you didn't mishear me, did you?"

"I, Ye Feng, have always been one to speak blunt truths, seldom making any absolute promises to the Pope. If we really fail, it won't be much of a loss to me."

"Old Poison, are you willing to join us in capturing Xiaowu? This is, after all, a mission from the Pope himself, and it's your responsibility too," Ye Feng said at that moment.

He seemed quite invested in the matter!

Even if they failed, it didn't matter; it was just a formality!

"Failure is not an option. If I return, that woman will never let me off easy; she'd certainly send me to Devil Hell to suffer for tens of thousands of years—neither human nor ghost. No, I really don't want that."

"Little Fengfeng, you need to put in more effort in this mission. Du Gubo and I will just assist you, alright?"

"You're quite familiar with Tang San and his group, and you know them well, so capturing Xiaowu should be easy for you. This is a good opportunity," Chrysanthemum Douluo told Ye Feng at the moment.

Ye Feng couldn't believe they were actually treating him as the main force; wasn't that like sending him straight into the eye of the storm to die?!

What a "brilliant" idea he came up with!

"No way, I don't agree. I'm not doing something so dangerous. I'll accompany you and offer some ideas, but whether we succeed in capturing the target depends on your abilities. If we fail, you can't blame me. I'm saying this upfront," Ye Feng demurred.

His instinctual decision was clear—he dared not take such a risk, unwilling to do such a deed for the Martial Soul Hall.

"Ha, Flayer, that doesn't seem like you. Could it be that you're afraid of being killed by Tang San and his friends, worried about losing face?"

"If you want, I can say we're setting out tomorrow to find Tang San and the others. Bi Bidong is eager to obtain the hundred-thousand-year soul beast as quickly as possible," Du Gubo goaded.

"I remember Flayer once boasting that obtaining a hundred-thousand-year soul beast was easy, not as hard as he claimed. Old Chrysanthemum, do you remember that Xiaowu was once imprisoned in a cage, courtesy of Ye Feng? With his skill, he could easily deceive Xiaowu into capture."

"You finding us means you're in luck— you should be happy about it," Du Gubo continued.

Old Chrysanthemum nodded, thinking Du Gubo was right.

Indeed, he vaguely remembered vowing before Bi Bidong to bring Xiaowu before her!!

Now, isn't that awkward!

Every word he had spoken was meticulously remembered by Du Gubo.

Originally, Ye Feng had only mentioned it in passing until Du Gubo repeated it once again in front of him.

"I don't remember saying that, ha, you must have remembered wrong."

"Anyway, I have made it very clear what needs to be said, so let's set off early tomorrow morning as Old Poison instructed and find Tang San and the others within a day."

"I can guarantee that Xiaowu must be with Tang San. Right now, they're inseparable."

"Tang San, oh Tang San, your beloved woman is probably going to die by my hand once again."

Ye Feng's evil eyes gazed out of the window.

"Pfft—"

"What is this smell? It's so disgusting!"

"Damn, Old Chrysanthemum, you really are repulsive, eating so much of the Dugu Family's food. Can't you go outside if you need to fart?"

Du Gubo covered his nose, nearly suffocating.

Who would have thought Old Chrysanthemum would be so inelegant in front of Ye Feng and the others!

Eating too many sweet potatoes, even the gas he expelled smelled like sweet potatoes!

"Sorry about that, I really didn't mean it. I just relaxed for a moment, not expecting it to come out naturally."

Chrysanthemum Douluo said, his face red with embarrassment.

Suddenly, the good image of Old Chrysanthemum was gone—they'd all been putting on an act in front of everyone.

As expected, in front of acquaintances, there was no pretense at all, just doing whatever one felt like!

"Ah! That's a bit too unrefined, ha."

Ye Feng covered his nose while looking at Old Poison and Old Chrysanthemum standing together outside the window.

"Not to mention, your Dugu Family does have quite a beautiful scenery. This is our first time here, and I hope there will be more chances in the future—I'll come often."

Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke out loud.

"Considering how you just behaved, forget it. I don't want to spend another minute with you. It's utterly mortifying."

Du Gubo said, full of disgust.

"Creak—"

The door of the house opened.

"Du Gubo, where are you going? Why don't you continue our deep conversation through the night? Are you so eager to leave because there's something you're hiding from us?!"

Chrysanthemum Douluo hastily asked.

It was very likely he was hiding something and trying to slip away unnoticed!

"Old Flayer, this is where you're wrong!"

"Speak up, where are you going without us?"

Ye Feng blocked Du Gubo from slipping away.

"Ow, where else would I be going but to my own bedroom to rest? Haven't we agreed to set off early tomorrow and head to Tang San's place? I don't want to spend another second with you guys."

Du Gubo spoke frankly.

And then he was gone.

On the other side, Tang San and his group.

"Master, do you feel any better now?"

Yu Xiaogang opened his eyes and realized that next to Xiaosan stood another person—Xiaowu, another one of his students!

"Hiss—"

"Teacher, are you alright? I'm Xiaowu."

Xiaowu spoke up.

Yu Xiaogang couldn't believe that the two of them still had such a good connection!

"Cough cough—"

"I'm fine, Xiaowu. It's been a long time since I saw you last, ever since everyone graduated I rarely get the chance to see you all."

Yu Xiaogang said.

"Master, you need to take care of yourself and not ignore your own well-being."

Tang San's face was full of concern.
