"Hehe, I've just been busy lately," Bai Qinchen said with a smile, patting Dai Ying's head.

"Hmph! Men, they're all the same, they forget their old loves as soon as they find a new one." Dai Ying snorted twice and said coquettishly, "You have to make it up to me!"

Bai Qinchen chuckled and flicked Dai Ying's nose: "How do you want to make it up to me?"

Dai Ying's eyes darted around, and she smiled slyly: "I want you..." She leaned close to Bai Qinchen's ear and whispered a few words.

"Alright, alright, I'll definitely make you satisfied!" Bai Qinchen chuckled, lowered his head and kissed Dai Ying's forehead, then said, "However, before we play, there's something I need to tell you."

"What is it?" Dai Ying asked, puzzled.

“Your parents have traveled to this world,” Bai Qinchen said.

"Huh? My parents are here?" Dai Ying's body jolted, and she looked at Bai Qing in surprise.

"Hmm!" Bai Qinchen nodded slightly and said, "They are currently in the Star Luo Imperial Palace."

"Then, what should I do?" Dai Ying bit her lip, a hint of panic flashing in her eyes, and said, "They will definitely come looking for me."

"Yes, they just discussed having your mother go to Blue Tyrant Academy to find you." Bai Qinchen briefly explained the matter of Star Luo Imperial Palace to Dai Ying.

"You mean my parents think I'm an undercover agent?" Dai Ying asked.

"Tell me honestly, are you an undercover agent?" Bai Qinchen pinched her cheek and asked teasingly.

"Don't you know whether I'm an undercover agent or not?" Dai Ying gave Bai Qinchen a coquettish glare, then said, "My mother is going to the Heavenly Dou Empire to find me. What should I do now? Do I have to rush back to the Heavenly Dou Empire right now?"

"That's why I came to find you." Bai Qinchen frowned and said, "If I rush back, it will definitely be too late, and I might even run into you on the way."

Right now, he only has one god-level expert on his side, Bibi Dong, who has only just been promoted to god-level. Her strength is definitely not as good as Tang Wutong's, and her speed is also not as fast as Tang Wutong's. She definitely won't be able to send Dai Ying back to the Heaven Dou Empire.

"What should we do? It's too late to go back. If we don't go back, knowing my mom's personality, if she doesn't find me at Lanba Academy, she'll definitely turn the academy upside down and find out that my aunt and the others have betrayed us." Dai Ying's face was full of worry. She didn't know what to do.

"Why don't you show yourself here?" Bai Qinchen thought for a moment and then suggested.

"Showing up here? What should I say when my mom asks me why I'm here?" Dai Ying asked again.

Bai Qinchen thought for a moment and then said, "How about we put on a play?"

"Acting? What kind of acting?"

"I pretended your undercover identity was exposed, Bibi Dong chased after you, and then I suddenly appeared and saved you. How about that?" Bai Qinchen smiled slightly. Dai Ying was Tang Wutong's precious daughter. If he saved Dai Ying from Bibi Dong, Tang Wutong would definitely develop feelings for him. Then, he could find an opportunity to get close to Tang Wutong and win her over.

"You want to take me down..." Dai Ying's beautiful eyes showed surprise as she looked at Bai Qinchen.

"Nonsense, I saw her today. She's really beautiful. It would be such a waste not to win her over!" Bai Qinchen said irritably. He didn't want to let any beautiful woman go.

"But she is me..."

"Tch, I've already won over Xiao Wu, and you're still having fun with her, aren't you? I've also won over Bai Xiuxiu and Gu Yuena, and you're still competing with them to play with me, aren't you?" Bai Qinchen flicked Dai Ying's nose and laughed, "Once I win over Tang Wutong, you'd better not compete with her to play with me."

Upon hearing Bai Qinchen mention Xiao Wu and the others, Dai Ying blushed and pouted, saying, "I, I won't compete with her for the game!"

Playing with Xiao Wu wasn't a big deal for her, since the two were about the same age and not too far apart.

As for Bai Xiuxiu and Gu Yuena, they were only relatives in name only. Helping Bai Qinchen win them over was enough.

(II) But the thought of helping Bai Qinchen snatch Tang Wutong away from her father made Dai Ying feel strange.

Is this the legendary drafty little cotton-padded jacket?

"Alright, since you're unwilling, I'll go find Xiao Wu. I'm sure Xiao Wu will be happy to help me with this. I'll have to reward her properly then. I'll be playing with her every day and neglecting some people. Some people shouldn't be jealous." Bai Qinchen deliberately provoked Dai Ying when he saw that she was still hesitant.

With that, Bai Qinchen put Dai Ying off him and turned to go find Xiao Wu.

"No, no, no, I'll help, okay?" Dai Ying panicked when she heard that Xiao Wu would be rewarded and she would be neglected. She quickly grabbed Bai Qinchen's arm and looked at him with a pitiful expression, saying, "I promise you, okay?"

"Never mind, you're my little darling, I don't want to put you in a difficult position," Bai Qinchen said, gently shaking his head.

“Not difficult at all!” Dai Ying gave in. She knew very well that no one who was targeted by Bai Qinchen could escape.

Since Tang Wutong is going to be taken by Bai Qinchen sooner or later anyway, she might as well take matters into her own hands and get a reward from Bai Qinchen.

"Really not difficult?" Bai Qinchen's smile widened.

He knew, of course, that Dai Ying would help him; he was just teasing her.

"It's really not difficult!" Dai Ying nodded heavily. She was determined to do her best for Bai Qinchen's reward.

"Alright, then I'll have to watch your performance closely." Bai Qinchen said with a smile, patting Dai Ying's head.

Although he could indeed ask Xiao Wu and the others for help, it would be easier for Tang Wutong to trust Dai Ying to do it.

More importantly, the thought of Dai Ying personally delivering Tang Wutong to his bed was incredibly exciting.

"Don't worry, leave it all to me!" Dai Ying patted her chest and assured her.

"Alright, let's go find Bibi Dong now and discuss the details, etc." Bai Qinchen said, taking Dai Ying's hand and walking towards Bibi Dong's room.

Chapter 422 He was just a guard, it was his duty!

"Damn undercover agent! Today, I'll kill you!"

Tang Wutong was flying in mid-air when she suddenly heard a noise below.

Originally, Tang Wutong didn't want to get involved in these matters, but upon hearing the word "undercover agent," her heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition arose.

Her heart skipped a beat. Could it be Ying'er?

The thought had barely crossed her mind when she nipped it in the bud.

Impossible! Ying'er is in the Heaven Dou Empire, how could she be here?

The word "undercover" was like a needle piercing her heart. Without hesitation, Tang Wutong darted towards the source of the sound like lightning.

A chase is unfolding in a clearing in the woods below.

Bibi Dong's face was as cold as ice, and her attacks were ruthless. Every time the purple soul power flashed, it left a hideous trench in the ground.

And in front of her, fleeing in a disheveled state, was Dai Ying!

Dai Ying's fair skin was covered in scratches and dirt, and a trace of blood clung to the corner of her mouth. She staggered, as if she was about to collapse at any moment, her face filled with terror and despair.

With acting skills like that, it's a real shame she doesn't win an Oscar.

"Hmph! After infiltrating for so long, we've finally found out, haven't we? Today, you're going to die!" Bibi Dong's voice was icy as she condensed another soul skill.

Just as the soul skill was about to hit Dai Ying, a figure rushed towards her, grabbed her small body, and rolled to the side.

"Boom!" It grazed Dai Ying's shoulder, blasted a large tree behind her, and made a huge explosion.

"Who dares to stop me from doing this?" Bibi Dong asked in a deep voice.

"Your Holiness, chasing after a little girl is not in keeping with your status!" Amidst the billowing smoke, Bai Qinchen's figure slowly emerged, completely shielding Dai Ying's petite body behind him.

Bibi Dong's face darkened: "Who are you? How dare you meddle in the affairs of my Spirit Hall?"

"I'm just a lowly guard. I only dared to watch your Spirit Hall Pope personally kill a little girl. This is the Star Luo Empire, not your Spirit Hall!" Bai Qinchen took a step forward, his aura rising again. He looked fearless and said in a deep voice, "With me here today, you won't be able to hurt her."

It's him! The personal bodyguard of Empress Xingluo?

At this moment, Tang Wutong also arrived nearby and discovered that it was indeed her precious daughter who was being chased. She also discovered that the one who saved her daughter was Zhu Yue'e's personal bodyguard, Bai Qinchen.

"Hmph! You, a mere Soul Saint, dare to block this Pope? Aren't you afraid of death?" Bibi Dong sneered, her beautiful eyes revealing a strong killing intent.

“Of course I’m afraid of death, but I can’t just watch a little girl be killed by Your Highness the Pope because I’m afraid of death, can I?” Bai Qinchen said solemnly as he shielded Dai Ying behind him, “Little girl, you go quickly, I’ll stop her.”

"You're no match for her. You should leave. This has nothing to do with you." Dai Ying shrank behind Bai Qinchen, her face filled with fear.

"You go quickly!" Bai Qinchen said, and rushed towards Bibi Dong first.

"You!" Dai Ying hesitated for a moment, then turned and ran away.

Seeing Dai Ying leave, Tang Wutong stopped paying attention to the battle between Bai Qinchen and Bibi Dong and chased after Dai Ying.

"Ying'er!" Tang Wutong called out as she watched Dai Ying flee in panic.

"Mom!" Dai Ying's eyes instantly reddened when she saw Tang Wutong, and her voice choked as if it were about to break. She suddenly threw herself into Tang Wutong's arms, her little hands tightly clutching her sleeve, her whole body trembling.

Tang Wutong's heart tightened, and she quickly hugged her daughter tightly, gently patting her back. She looked down and saw that Dai Ying was a mess, her face covered in mud and blood, and there was no trace of her usual charming appearance.

"Mom, how did you travel through time too? I... I'm not dreaming, am I?" Dai Ying looked at Tang Yutong with teary eyes, her little hands tightly gripping Tang Wutong's clothes, as if afraid that Tang Wutong would suddenly disappear.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, Mommy is really here. You're not dreaming." Tang Wutong gently comforted Dai Ying, her heart aching. She felt incredibly sorry for Dai Ying; how could she be so young, yet she was made to do such a dangerous mission? Tang Xuan Yu and Tang Wu Lin were both in trouble now. If Dai Ying hadn't been so clever, she would have been in trouble too. If it weren't for that guard today, if she hadn't passed by, Dai Ying would probably be dead here.

"Waaaaah... Mom!" Dai Ying's trembling voice, choked with sobs, betrayed her deep fear.

"Don't cry, don't cry, it's Mommy's fault, Mommy is late." Tang Wutong's voice was also trembling with sobs. Her daughter's fearful cries made her feel a deep fear in her heart as well.

"Come on, I'll take you back. Mom won't let anyone hurt you." Tang Wutong hugged Dai Ying and wanted to leave.

"No!" Dai Ying suddenly broke free from her hand, her face pale, and shook her head desperately, pointing to the direction from which bursts of energy roared behind her.

"Mom! He! He's still there!"

"Who? That guard?" Tang Wutong frowned. Her daughter's safety was the top priority now. She said, "Never mind him! He's just a guard, it's his duty! We must leave immediately!"

It is indeed the duty of guards to protect people, but she never considered whether Bai Qinchen had the obligation to protect Dai Ying.

Or rather, under Tang San's influence, everyone should serve the Tang family, and everyone should save the Tang family members. But if someone is left to die, they are seen as courting death.

"I don't know who he is!" Dai Ying's voice shrilly as she cried out, her voice tinged with hysteria, "He just saved my life! If he hadn't pushed me away, I would have been the one hit by Bibi Dong! I almost died!"

She gripped Tang Wutong's sleeve tightly, as if using all her strength, and large tears rolled down her cheeks.

"We can't just abandon him like this! He risked his life against Bibi Dong for my sake! How can I be an ungrateful wretch?"

This time, Dai Ying really cried. In the past, Bai Qinchen had often said how selfish and self-serving the Tang family was, and he would make sarcastic remarks from time to time. She had argued with Bai Qinchen a few times, but in the end, she could not reach a conclusion.

However, Tang Wutong's selfish words just now undoubtedly proved what Bai Qinchen said earlier: the Tang family is a selfish and self-serving group.

Although Bai Qinchen wasn't a good person either, he openly and frankly admitted that he was only interested in beautiful women.

The Tang family, who pride themselves on being the righteous side, are actually selfish and self-serving in their actions.

"Ying'er, calm down!" Tang Wutong tried to comfort her daughter and said softly, "He is no match for Bibi Dong. We can't save him if we go back now. Instead, it will expose our strength and make it harder to deal with the real culprit behind the scenes."

Chapter 423 Life is Not in Danger

"I don't care!" Dai Ying's emotions completely erupted. She forcefully shook off Tang Wutong's hand and cried out, "If he dies, I will never have peace of mind for the rest of my life! Mom, you're so capable, you must have a way, right? Please!"

Seeing that Tang Wutong was still hesitant, a resolute glint flashed in Dai Ying's eyes.

"If you won't go to save him, I'll go myself! I can't just watch my savior die in front of me!"

As she spoke, she turned around and made a move to run back.

"Okay, okay! I'll go, I'll go, alright?" Tang Wutong sighed helplessly as she saw Dai Ying going back alone and followed her.

With a loud bang, Bai Qinchen was sent flying. Seeing this, Dai Ying hurriedly tried to catch him, but Tang Wutong dared not let Dai Ying catch him. The impact was too great for Dai Ying to handle.

"So fragrant! So soft!" After being caught by Tang Wutong, Bai Qinchen immediately felt the softness and fragrance emanating from her body and sighed inwardly.

"And who are you? How dare you ruin my plans?" Bibi Dong's pretty face darkened when she saw Tang Wutong suddenly appear.

"Your Holiness the Pope is so arrogant, actually trying to kill my daughter, Tang Wutong." Tang Wutong looked coldly at Bibi Dong, her beautiful eyes flashing with a cold light.

"Your daughter?" Bibi Dong glanced at Dai Ying behind Tang Wutong, a smile appearing on her lips, and said, "No wonder she dared to go undercover; she has a god-level mother!"

"Huh?" Tang Wutong was stunned for a moment after hearing Bibi Dong's words, and then a look of shock appeared on her pretty face.

It was only then that she realized that Bibi Dong, who was standing before her, actually possessed the qualities of a deity.

She hadn't thoroughly investigated Bibi Dong's strength before, since as far as she knew, Bibi Dong was only a Title Douluo at the moment.

"So you're with those people from before?" Bibi Dong looked at Tang Wutong warily and said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to have so many god-level experts. However, if we can kill one batch, we can kill a second batch. We can kill your batch just the same way!"

"What did you say? What did you do to Tang Wulin and the others?" Upon hearing this, Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes flashed even colder as she asked in a deep voice.

"What's wrong? Of course we should kill them, otherwise we'd really treat them like gods and worship them!" Bibi Dong said jokingly.

"You're courting death!" A cold glint flashed in Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes, and her aura suddenly surged. Her long, pinkish-blue hair moved without wind, making her look like an ice goddess. She raised her jade hand, and a ball of brilliant golden light slowly condensed in her palm. A suffocating pressure instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

Bibi Dong's expression changed slightly. She felt an unprecedented threat. She had only recently advanced to the God level and hadn't even played with Bai Qinchen or improved her strength yet. She was no match for Tang Wutong at all.

"Hmph! You two are lucky today. I'll spare your lives for now. Don't give me a chance to kill you." Bibi Dong snorted coldly, uttered a harsh threat, and then turned and disappeared.

Today, I was just playing along with Bai Qinchen, there was no need to fight Tang Wutong, so I left without hesitation.

"Where do you think you're going!" Upon hearing that her family member had been killed, Tang Wutong naturally felt murderous intent towards Bibi Dong and wanted to chase after her and kill her.

"Brother, how are you? Are you alright? Mom! Come quick and see if brother is alright!" Dai Ying would never let Tang Wutong go after Bibi Dong, so she quickly grabbed Tang Wutong and stopped her from doing so.

Tang Wutong was stopped by Dai Ying. Looking at the panicked Dai Ying, she sighed helplessly. She glanced at Bibi Dong's departing figure and could only say fiercely, "Bibi Dong, don't let me run into you again, or I will never let you go."

"Mom, come and see how this brother is doing!" Dai Ying pulled Tang Wutong to Bai Qinchen's side and said with a worried expression.

Tang Wutong frowned as she examined Bai Qinchen's injuries, while simultaneously channeling her divine power into his body to heal them.
