His strength was comparable to a demon king!
Bai Ye raised an eyebrow. To be born with a realm that others spent a lifetime pursuing was truly enviously maddening.
If only it were a girl! Bai Ye couldn't help but look at Hou Ying a few more times. Who wouldn't want a child born a demon king?
"What a pity..." Bai Ye murmured so softly it was barely audible.
Dapeng spoke in Taites Common Tongue, which Gou Dan, Xiao Fantuan, and the others couldn't understand. They looked at him strangely a few times before returning to their dedicated task of eating.
Lydia couldn't join the conversation and glared at Dapeng a little resentfully.
Seeing Bai Ye's surprised expression, Hou Ying thought he was envious and said with some comfort, "Every world has special beings favored by the world. We, the Cang Mao, are the lucky ones chosen by the Taites Continent."
As she spoke, Hou Ying looked at Bai Ye meaningfully. "Speaking of which, you're not bad either. Although, at the beginning, you should have only been around B-class. But in just a few months, you've reached demon king-level strength and have mastered multiple elements. This alone is no less than our Cang Mao clan."
What?
Upon hearing Hou Ying's words, Dapeng's eyes widened, so shocked he forgot to chew the food in his mouth. To break through two major levels in just a few months was too monstrous!
He had thought Hou Ying was terrifying, but he didn't expect his domineering master to be even more monstrous.
No wonder he could be friend with Hou Ying! So that's how it is!!
"Alas... I can't compare. You are the darlings of the world!" Bai Ye waved his hands repeatedly. Why speak such truths?
Hou Ying smiled, ignoring Bai Ye's dismissiveness, and said seriously, "Have you ever thought that perhaps you are the lucky one chosen by Blue Star! Even luckier than our Cang Mao clan?"
"Perhaps there are no limits on you, and you can reach even higher levels," Hou Ying said, a hint of envy in her gentle eyes.
"World's darling?" Bai Ye mused. He was indeed quite lucky, bound to a mysterious system, though it was a bit of a scam.
Could I really be Blue Star's darling? If Hou Ying's words are to be believed, does the world have consciousness?
"System!"
Bai Ye called out in his mind, but there was no response. Bai Ye was used to it and continued asking, "System, tell me, are you the will of Blue Star?" The more he thought about it, the more plausible it seemed. With the channel to the Taites Continent opened, Blue Star felt a sense of crisis, so it chose a darling??
No!
What darling!
This is clearly asking me to be its security guard! Damn it, it hired me as a thug but is so stingy with me. Is this how the will of Blue Star behaves? KAnshuWu.ξà
No, this can't continue.
"System, you see now, the channel with the Taites world will be fully opened in two to three months. Disaster is imminent, and time waits for no one. Since we are on the same side, open the lottery prize pool for me. Forget about reputation, I can definitely protect you."
One second... two seconds... no response.
"If that's not possible, a discount? Ten percent off?"
"Twenty percent off?"
...
Bai Ye's mouth twitched. Just as he was about to ask again, the system responded.
[I am not some will. Stop bothering me!!!] The system's voice sounded a bit exasperated.
Bai Ye narrowed his eyes. It's really not?
"Bai Ye?" Seeing Bai Ye in deep thought and not responding for a long time, Hou Ying asked in surprise. Kanshu La
Bai Ye snapped back to reality and said with a perfunctory smile, "World's darling? How could that be! I'm just a magician, and I usually perform some magic tricks!"
Hou Ying shook her head. "You can't fool me."
"Dapeng." Bai Ye decided to skip this topic. "Tell me about the other royals, uh, and there are still many royal families, right? Also, elves, half-demons, tell me about them too."
"Yes! Master!" Dapeng was excited and respectful, wishing he could kowtow nine times to express his loyalty.
The rising silver moon cast its glow. Beside the quiet bonfire, everyone listened as Dapeng recounted the wonders of the Taites world.
It wasn't until the cold night air crept in that they ended their dinner and returned to their respective houses.
Hou Ying was invited to stay at Lone Star Villa for a few days.
Soon, three days passed.
During these three days, the topic of the magical forest in the Western world became even more popular, with tens of thousands of people flocking to verify the existence of this suddenly appearing forest.
The countries of the Western Alliance also stated that the forest did exist. However, they gave no explanation for its appearance, only saying that it was still under research. They also designated it a forbidden zone, prohibiting anyone from entering, and stationed heavy troops to guard it.
Yet, many adventurers and bold travel enthusiasts, disregarding the Western government's obstruction, secretly entered the magical forest. However, after entering, they completely lost contact.
As the number of missing people increased, people finally realized the danger. The turmoil on society and the internet grew, and a sense of panic began to spread.
Soon, on the streets of various Western countries, groups of protestors appeared. They demanded that the government provide an explanation, and some even clashed with local Western governments, expressing their right to know the truth.
As the Western populace caused more and more uproar, the East was also affected. However, there were no street protests, only online speculation and suspicion. The hot topics all revolved around Bai Ye. Kanshu Le
Some people even developed a fear of Bai Ye. Some ill-intentioned individuals took the opportunity to attack Bai Ye.
"Bai Ye is actually a monster in human skin, and his magic tricks are sorcery!"
"Bai Ye's live broadcast of 'magic' is just to make it easier for him to contact more people and select his preferred 'food'! Everyone be careful!"
"No wonder! I heard that many crazy fan girls who went to find him privately have mysteriously disappeared!"
...
These malicious attacks immediately attracted widespread attention. Many viewers and fans became fearful and left messages on Bai Ye's live broadcast account, urging him to come out and explain.
However, Bai Ye had been like a ghost for the past three days, with no news. Naturally, there was no need for him to act in such matters. The Eastern Alliance's official authorities immediately took swift action, arresting those who spread rumors.
However, as more bizarre incidents were exposed, many people were still somewhat awestruck of Bai Ye.
Another day passed.
In the morning, in the magical city.
Golden sunlight streamed through the tall buildings and shone on the bustling streets, bringing a trace of warmth and joy to the busy people.
In Mingzhu District, Xingfu Elementary School.
Parents were successively dropping off their children at the entrance. Some children skipped into the school with cheers, some were groggy and half-asleep, and some cried, threw tantrums, and refused to go to school...
"Brother! I don't want to go to school!"
"Be good! Let's go."
Beside a black G-wagon, a tall boy held a delicate little girl's hand as they walked into the school. The cute little girl looked a bit unhappy.
Both were wearing masks. The young boy's handsome and upright figure, and the millions of dollars G-wagon, attracted envious glances from passersby.
What shocked the parents even more was that the principal, who was rarely seen, was at the entrance, waving and greeting them with a smile.
"Mr. Bai, you're here. Please come in, please come in!"
