Chapter 1277 Meeting Bai Xutao
After hearing that Dong Ye had located Bai Xutao, Yuan immediately asked, "Where is he?!"
"He is about 30,000 miles away in a city called East Victory." Dong Ye said.
Yuan then said to Meixiu and the others, "I just received news of Bai Xutao's location, so I will be heading there now. Xiao Hua, Yingying, stay here with them. I don't want you guys to get involved."
Xiao Hua and Lan Yingying left his body after hearing his words.
"Are you sure, Brother Yuan? I can come with you just in case…" Xiao Hua asked him in a slightly worried voice, as he was essentially picking a fight with someone who was close to reaching immortality. The difference between their prowess was so vast that no amount of talent would help him win.
Yuan nodded with a calm smile, "Don't worry, I have some tricks up my sleeves. And there's still Dong Ye, who will be watching over me."
"Okay. Stay safe." Xiao Hua no longer tried to convince him to not confront Bai Xutao alone.
"Make sure you beat that bastard up good, Yuan!" Chu Liuxiang cheered for him.
Yuan disappeared from their sights the following moment after being transported by Dong Ye.
"My liege, although I will be watching over you, I won't intervene unless your life is on the line and you are completely helpless. Please don't misunderstand, as it would put you and your friends in even greater danger if my presence is revealed to be connected to you."
"After all, I am already being hunted by the Celestial Emperor and his dogs, and your true identity must remain hidden until you are powerful enough."
"Don't worry, Dong Ye. I understand, and I only need you to take me out of there when I give you the signal."
"As you command."
Once Yuan arrived at the city, he asked, "Bai Xutao is inside that city, correct?"
"Indeed."
"I cannot fight him while he is still inside that city, as I do not want to repeat what happened to the other city. If the two of us fought, the entire city would surely be destroyed. Is there any way to lure him out here?" Yuan pondered out loud with a slight frown on his face.
"I could wrap him out here, but that is out of the question, as such actions would leave my scent on him."
"I'll think of something while I take a good look at him for myself," Yuan said as he approached the city.
Meanwhile, inside the city, Bai Xutao approached a beautiful woman who caught his interest and introduced himself, "How are you doing, my lady? I'm Bai Xutao, and I am from the upper heavens. Would you like to have tea with me?"
The woman chuckled and said, "Upper heavens? This is my first time hearing that for a pickup line. If you came from the upper heavens, then I am the Emperor's wife."
Naturally, the woman did not believe for a second that Bai Xutao had come from the upper heavens. After all, why would someone from the upper heavens be wasting his time courting women in broad daylight?
However, Bai Xutai did not appear to be offended by her reaction at all and continued smiling.
"You don't believe me? Then how about this?" Bai Xutao retrieved a medallion from his spatial ring and showed it to the woman.
"Only those who have been authorized to descend are given this medallion. Do you believe me now?"
The woman covered her mouth as her face became filled with surprise.
"You are really from the upper heavens? What are you doing down here?" she inquired.
"Just some family business that doesn't really require my attention, so I decided to come out to play a little. How about it, pretty lady? Do you have some time to spare?"
The woman pondered a little before nodding, "Just a little, okay?"
"Great! Follow me!" Bai Xutao chuckled as he led the woman into a nearby restaurant.
Yuan watched the whole scene from a distance.
'What an unbelievable fellow. He destroyed a city and killed hundreds of innocent people not long ago and he's already back to courting girls like it never happened.' Yuan was speechless.
After spending some time pondering what he should do, Yuan entered the same restaurant.
"Hello, how may I help you?" The receptionist was slightly startled when she saw Yuan's appearance, but she didn't say anything about it.
"I'm here with my friend. He has white and black hair, and he came in here with a woman with brown hair." Yuan said.
"Oh, they're on the third floor."
"Thank you." Yuan gave her a slight nod before walking to the third floor.
There were several private rooms on the third floor, all of them with their doors closed.
Yuan approached the one at the end of the hallway and opened it without hesitation.
Inside, Bai Xutao and the woman had been chatting merrily until they were suddenly interrupted.
"W-Who the hell are you?" Bai Xutao immediately questioned Yuan.
However, Yuan didn't respond to his question and instead laughed in a mocking tone, "Bai Xutao, did you trick another naive woman with that fake medallion of yours? I must say, you're quite the genius to have come up with such a plan."
"What…?" The woman's face became filled with disbelief upon hearing his words.
"W-What the fuck are you talking about?! My medallion is real! And who the fuck are you?! Remove your mask and show me your face!" Bai Xutao was as taken aback as the woman and panicked for a moment.
"You despicable bastard!" In a fit of anger, the woman threw her tea at Bai Xutao, soaking his face, and then stormed out of the room without giving him a chance to defend himself.
Yuan didn't say anything and merely stared at Bai Xutao in silence.
A moment later, Bai Xutao's voice cracked with fury as he bellowed, "Y-You… FUCKING BASTARD!!!"
His entire body quivered with rage as he slammed the table, destroying it.
Seeing his reaction, a smile appeared on Yuan's face that was covered by his mask.
