Chapter 60: The Leader's Departure

At the Dragon God Temple,

Su Bai turned to Da Ming and Er Ming, saying, "I'll be leaving the Star Dou Forest for a while. You two take care of the Dragon God Temple."

"Don't worry, boss!" Er Ming said, thumping his chest in assurance.

Whack!

Da Ming smacked Er Ming on the back of the head, correcting him, "Call him 'Leader' in the Dragon God Temple."

"Yes, Leader!" Er Ming replied, scratching his head and grinning sheepishly. "I'm used to calling you 'boss,' it'll take some time to get used to 'Leader.'"

Su Bai waved it off, "It's fine, Da Ming. It's just a title. No need to be so strict. Besides, I founded the Dragon God Temple to protect my family and friends."

Da Ming was touched by his words.

Er Ming chimed in, "Leader, you can go without worries. Da Ming and I will safeguard the Dragon God Temple."

Hearing this, Su Bai had to suppress a chuckle.

What do you mean by 'you can go without worries'? Anyone hearing that might think I'm on my deathbed.

But he knew Er Ming didn't mean it that way. His straightforwardness was endearing.

Da Ming suddenly said, "Leader, now that the Dragon God Temple is established, you must realize the allure of the Transformation Pill. How do you plan to allow the spirit beasts to earn contributions?"

This was crucial and required a structured plan. The Transformation Pill was incredibly enticing to spirit beasts, and they must be eager to know how to earn contributions for it.

Su Bai had already considered this. "For now, the Star Dou Forest is relatively peaceful. Let the spirit beasts search for rare treasures and herbs in exchange for contributions."

"As for how much contribution is needed for a Transformation Pill, I'll decide that upon my return."

"Understood, Leader," Da Ming replied solemnly.

It seemed Da Ming had quickly embraced his role, even referring to himself as a subordinate.

Su Bai thought to tell him to relax, but knowing Da Ming's nature, he decided against it.

"Well, I'm off."

With that, Su Bai stood up and vanished from the Dragon God Temple.

He then bid farewell to his wives and left the Star Dou Forest.

...

In the Sunset Forest,

At a certain spot,

Su Bai descended slowly.

His goal was the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Originally, it was Tang San's opportunity.

But now, Su Bai planned to seize it.

With so many celestial herbs and the dragon corpses at the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he couldn't pass up such treasures.

Tang San wanted to rise to power?

He'd have to go through Su Bai first.

Without the celestial herbs, Tang San's path to greatness wouldn't be smooth.

Besides, with Su Bai's presence, Tang San's rise to power would be impossible.

Moreover, Tang San had absorbed a ten-year spirit ring for his third spirit ring, which had already crippled him.

Regardless, of whether Tang San rose to power or not, he posed little threat to Su Bai.

By the time Tang San matured, Su Bai would likely be invincible.

But if he could throw a wrench in Tang San's plans, Su Bai was more than happy to do so.

"Let's see where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is!"

Su Bai murmured.

Just as he closed his eyes to sense his surroundings, he heard the sound of flowing water.

In his perception, a graceful silhouette appeared.

Instinctively, he turned his head.

It turned out he had landed near a pond.

And at that moment, a young woman was bathing in the water.

She was a young woman with fair skin, emerald green eyes, and a slender waist that rivaled Meng Yiran's.

Her long, pale legs glistened invitingly beneath the water.

One look was enough to ignite anyone's desires.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the beautiful woman in the water turned towards him.

"Ah!"

She screamed, quickly submerging herself in the water.

However, the water wasn't deep enough to fully cover her, leaving her white, alluring bosom exposed.

Su Bai raised an eyebrow, feeling a surge of desire.

It was a response triggered by his dragon bloodline, beyond his control.

Recognizing her face, Su Bai quickly deduced her identity.

She must be Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan.

What a coincidence! He had come out looking for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and stumbled upon the granddaughter of the person in charge.

Seeing Su Bai staring at her, Dugu Yan blushed.

Her temper was fiery; she glared at him fiercely, "What are you looking at?"

Dugu Yan was in a foul mood.

She had come out to find her grandfather and, feeling unwell, decided to take a bath, only to be seen by a man.

But, she admitted to herself, the man was quite handsome.

Not feeling too cheated, a thought crossed her mind.

Immediately, she scolded herself silently. How could she think that?

She glared at Su Bai again.

Su Bai smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry, I was just passing by."

He hadn't intended to land here and see Dugu Yan bathing.

Was this fate?

Su Bai pondered.

Dugu Yan, compared to his wives, had her own unique charm.

They were all beautiful in different ways.

"Stop looking!"

Dugu Yan scolded, "I'm getting up, turn around."

Su Bai chuckled but obliged, turning his back to her.

After a moment, seeing Su Bai didn't turn back, Dugu Yan stood up.

Soon, she was dressed.

She marched up to Su Bai, her eyes wide with indignation, "You look decent. How could you peek at someone bathing?"

Su Bai turned to her voice, his eyes lighting up.

Fresh from her bath, Dugu Yan's hair was still damp, droplets of water glistening on her neck, adding to her allure.

Her delicate face, despite her anger, didn't detract from her beauty.

Her slender, curvy figure made one want to hold her.

"I said, it was just a coincidence, not intentional."

Su Bai spread his hands.

"I think you did it on purpose."

Dugu Yan didn't believe him, hands on her hips.

"Honestly, I didn't."

Su Bai shook his head, smiling. "But you are quite beautiful."

?

Dugu Yan was taken aback.

They were discussing the peeping incident, how did it shift to this?

Still, being complimented, especially by someone she found attractive, pleased her.

Despite her fiery temperament, Dugu Yan was straightforward.

Seeing Su Bai's charm, she decided not to dwell on the incident.

Stretching, her slender waist on display, she said, "You got lucky. But since you saw me, you owe me compensation."

"What kind of compensation?" Su Bai asked, smiling.

Dugu Yan thought for a moment, "I'm here to get my grandfather's help with my fourth spirit ring. How strong are you?"

Strength?

Su Bai smiled, then used his spirit ring simulation skill.

Instantly,

Six black spirit rings and three red ones appeared around Su Bai.

A display of immense power!
