Chapter 52 Heaven Dou City.
Unlike the Star Dou Great Forest, which is located in the central part of the entire continent and is also the largest forest
, the Sunset Forest, the destination of Chen Yao and Bibi Dong's journey, is much smaller.
Located in the central part of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is generally frequented by people from the Heaven Dou Empire who hunt there.
To avoid attracting attention, Chen Yao and Bibi Dong changed into Heaven Dou Empire attire beforehand, traveling discreetly.
However, despite their simple makeup, Bibi Dong's exquisite beauty was still undeniable, attracting many malicious individuals along the way.
However, Bibi Dong, still resentful of Chen Yao's cold attitude before leaving the city, swiftly and decisively dealt with them all.
Chen Yao, standing to the side, watched the figures falling one after another like harvested straw, and couldn't help but click his tongue.
Standing amidst the scattered corpses and flowing blood, Bibi Dong already showed glimpses of the ruthless person she would become.
Thinking of this, Chen Yao felt a sense of urgency and worry.
His current threat to Bibi Dong using Yu Xiaogang is ultimately just a temporary measure.
His weakness is a fatal flaw.
If one day Bibi Dong truly disregards Yu Xiaogang's life and death, his fate will be countless times more miserable than those before him!
"I hope this time I can gain something... This should be my last chance..."
Chen Yao sighed inwardly, letting out a long breath, a rare and resolute look appearing in his eyes.
...
After several days of travel, the two finally arrived at Tiandou City, the most prosperous city in the Tiandou Empire.
Once they passed through this city, they would reach their destination, Sunset Forest.
The two entered the city, weary from their journey. Although it was gradually getting dark, Chen Yao showed no intention of stopping.
The uncertainty and anxiety about his future made him wish he could immediately appear at Dugu Bo's herb garden and devour all the herbs there!
But Bibi Dong looked around with intense curiosity.
The Spirit Hall, located in the north of Douluo Continent, was completely different from the customs of the Heaven Dou Empire. The things there were so novel and attractive to Bibi Dong, who was still in her early twenties.
In her opinion, there was no need to be so impatient now that Dugu Bo was trapped in the Spirit Hall.
Furthermore, although she herself desperately desired the legendary immortal herb, Snow Swan Kiss, the news, coming from Chen Yao, a Soul Master with an earring,
left Bibi Dong with a skeptical attitude.
She viewed this trip to Heaven Dou more as a leisurely stroll.
As long as she didn't harbor strong hopes, even if the outcome wasn't ideal, she wouldn't be too disappointed.
With this attitude, Bibi Dong naturally wanted to linger in the bustling Heaven Dou City for a while.
At this moment, she glanced at Chen Yao, who was heading straight towards Sunset Forest without looking back.
Bibi Dong quickly stepped forward and grabbed Chen Yao ,
saying, "Don't walk so fast. I need to buy something. Anyway, if that herb garden you mentioned is real, it's in the forest. It can't run away, so why are you in such a hurry?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao turned around and frowned at Bibi Dong, who was completely absorbed in the novel objects around her.
"You, a dignified Saintess, who will inherit the position of the Spirit Hall in the future, are actually greedy for such mundane things. Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed?"
"So what? As a Saintess, who dares to criticize me? If you're willing to wait, then go to Sunset Forest by yourself!"
Upon hearing this, Bibi Dong immediately thought of Chen Yao's fierce attitude towards her earlier, and felt extremely uncomfortable. She snorted coldly and walked towards a lavishly decorated shop that she had already chosen.
Upon hearing this, Chen Yao's expression froze, not expecting Bibi Dong's reaction to be so strong.
But then, watching Bibi Dong's departing figure, a helpless look appeared on his face.
He had no choice but to risk his life. Without Bibi Dong, let alone crossing the poisonous gas barrier Dugu Bo had set up in front of the herb garden, even the spirit beasts that frequently appeared in Sunset Forest would be a serious problem.
He followed Bibi Dong's steps to the shop's entrance.
However, Chen Yao had no intention of going in. Instead, he crossed his arms, leaned against the doorframe, and said impatiently ,
"Hurry up, don't waste too much time!"
Bibi Dong didn't even turn her head, only responding with a cold snort.
However, unseen by Chen Yao, a bright smile curved her lips.
Chen Yao, watching Bibi Dong darting about in front of the counter, couldn't help but shake his head.
It seemed his previous assumptions were just an illusion.
Given Bibi Dong's current appearance, it seems she still has a long way to go and some unforgettable experiences before she becomes the ruthless Pope she will one day become.
However, just as these thoughts were flashing through Chen Yao's mind, a voice suddenly rang out behind him.
"Friend, your wife is very beautiful. A little more patience will make your relationship more harmonious."
Chen Yao turned around and saw a refined-looking man in a brocade robe with gold-rimmed glasses standing behind him.
It seemed he had overheard what Chen Yao had said about Bibi Dong.
Wife?
Chen Yao smiled inwardly but didn't explain. Instead, he raised an eyebrow and looked at the beautiful woman in palace attire beside the man.
Although this woman wasn't as beautiful as Bibi Dong, she exuded a gentle and graceful aura, giving people a comfortable feeling. She
must be an incredibly virtuous wife.
Looking at the woman's voluptuous figure and the gentle smile on her beautiful face, Chen Yao couldn't help but feel a stirring of desire, a certain ancient thought beginning to stir within him.
Unfortunately, judging from the man's attire, he was no ordinary person; he seemed to have an extraordinary background. Furthermore, his immediate priority was the immortal herb, so he couldn't let his feelings sway him.
Shaking his head regretfully, Chen Yao returned the smile and said,
"Thank you for your guidance. Your wife is very beautiful too!"
"Yes, in my heart, she is the most beautiful woman in the world!"
The man, oblivious to Chen Yao's implied meaning, smiled and spoke with deep affection.
"What nonsense are you talking about!"
the woman said coquettishly, patting the man's shoulder before lowering her head and hunching her shoulders, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.
Seeing the couple suddenly flirting without regard for others, Chen Yao's lips twitched slightly.
Fortunately, at that moment, Bibi Dong arrived.
She sensed Chen Yao's urgency. Although he had already compromised with her, she subconsciously didn't want him to wait too anxiously. She quickly chose an item that caught her eye, paid the bill hastily, and left.
