Chapter 44 Yue Guan and Gui Mei Voluntarily Submit? Bibi Dong Is Shocked: As Expected of My Little Xiao Yue!
Yue Guan knelt on the ground, his hands trembling as he touched the air in front of him, as if he were touching his most precious lover.
But as the initial fervor gradually subsided, reason regained its footing.
A chilling sense of reality instantly extinguished most of the flame in his heart.
This was indeed Dugu Bo's territory.
But now, the ones truly in control of the situation were the two standing behind him—
The Holy Son and Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
Each of these Immortal Herbs was a divine creation of heaven and earth, and their value was immeasurable.
If, according to the rules of Spirit Hall, such a treasure land were discovered,
it should be reported to the Papal Palace and the Sanctuary immediately, so that the Pope and the Grand Priest could decide on the allocation.
Once that happened...
Yue Guan felt a bitter taste in his heart.
Although he and Gui Mei were both Titled Douluos, in a place like Spirit Hall where powerful figures were everywhere,
their status was not as unattainable as outsiders imagined.
Above them was the Grand Priest Qian Daoliu, below them was Pope Qian Xunji, and in between was a group of veteran elders with terrifying power.
If these Immortal Herbs were turned over to the public, even if he and Gui Mei had made great contributions, it would be for nothing.
At most, they would receive some Gold Soul Coins or soul bones as a reward.
As for these Immortal Herbs that could transform a person and even evolve their Spirit?
Don't even think about it!
The best outcome would be to watch as the Priests or the Pope's confidants enjoyed the benefits, while they could only stand by and watch, drooling.
"No!
Absolutely not!"
Yue Guan screamed wildly in his heart.
That extraordinary chrysanthemum was right before his eyes; it was his lifelong pursuit.
It was his only hope to break through his limits and go further!
If he missed this opportunity, he would probably be stuck at this point for the rest of his life.
He would forever remain an ordinary Titled Douluo, dependent on others!
Thinking of this, Yue Guan suddenly turned his head and looked at Gui Mei beside him.
The two had known each other for decades and were already of one mind. With just a glance, Gui Mei understood Yue Guan's thoughts.
Although Gui Mei didn't recognize these Immortal Herbs, he trusted Yue Guan's judgment.
The thing that could make Yue Guan lose his composure like this must be a treasure that had a fatal attraction for them.
Moreover, he also longed to become stronger.
In this world where strength reigned supreme, only the strongest could control their own destiny.
Their eyes met in the air, and their spiritual power instantly created a hidden communication channel.
'Old Ghost, the stuff in this place... it's amazing!'
Yue Guan's voice echoed in Gui Mei's mind, filled with undisguised urgency:
'That rare and precious Chrysanthemum is of utmost importance to me!'
'If I could get my hands on it, I'm confident I could reach level 96, or even higher, within ten years!'
'And that one...'
'While I'm not sure which one will suit you, there are plenty of rare herbs here, and there's definitely a treasure that can bring about a qualitative change in your Spirit!'
Gui Mei paused for a moment, then replied telepathically:
'What do you want to do?'
'Rob?'
'Are you crazy?!'
Yue Guan almost jumped up:
'Leaving aside the unfathomable methods of the Holy Son, the Holy Maiden's trump cards alone are enough to give us a hard time!'
'Not to mention Spirit Hall's kill order if this were to happen...'
'Where do you think we can escape to?'
'So you mean...'
'Surrender!'
A resolute glint flashed in Yue Guan's eyes:
'Although the Holy Son and Holy Maiden are young, they are exceptionally gifted, and their minds far surpass those of ordinary people.'
'Especially the Holy Son, whose methods are extraordinary; even an old monster like Dugu Bo is completely under his control.'
'They are destined to be the masters of Spirit Hall, and even the rulers of the entire Douluo Continent!'
'Although we are now the Pope's men, in the end, we're nothing more than high-level henchmen.'
'If we were to declare our loyalty now and completely side with the Holy Son and Holy Maiden...'
'This is called the merit of following the dragon's lead!'
'Trading our loyalty for an Immortal Herb is an absolutely worthwhile deal!'
Gui Mei's figure narrowed its eyes slightly, hidden beneath the mask.
Really.
It's easy to add flowers to brocade, but difficult to provide charcoal in the snow.
Although the Holy Son and Holy Maiden were now highly respected, they were still in their infancy and needed manpower.
If they waited until they ruled the world in the future, then if they wanted to pledge allegiance, they probably wouldn't even have a chance to wait in line.
Moreover, if they could obtain the Immortal Herbs and greatly increase their strength, they would hold even greater importance in the hearts of the Holy Son and Holy Maiden, and their future status would only be higher!
'Done!'
Gui Mei replied succinctly.
In just a few seconds of eye contact, the two Titled Douluos made a decision that would change the course of their lives.
The next moment.
Yue Guan and Gui Mei, who were still in shock, suddenly turned around and faced Lan Yue and Bibi Dong.
"Thump!"
The two knelt on one knee, their movements perfectly synchronized, their expressions solemn and dignified.
This scene left Dugu Bo, who was standing nearby, completely stunned.
Weren't these two just acting all naive and unsophisticated? How come they suddenly knelt down?
Bibi Dong was also slightly startled and subconsciously wanted to take a half step back, but Lan Yue gently pulled her hand back.
Lan Yue seemed to have expected this, and still wore that faint smile on his face as he quietly watched the two people kneeling on the ground.
"Elders, what is the meaning of this?"
Lan Yue asked the question knowingly, his tone calm.
Yue Guan took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked intently at Lan Yue and Bibi Dong, his voice firm and powerful:
"Your Highness, Holy Son! Your Highness, Holy Maiden!"
"Your subordinate Yue Guan (Gui Mei) is willing to pledge allegiance to Your Highnesses!"
"From this day forward, we will follow the lead of Your Highnesses without hesitation, even at the cost of our lives!"
"If I break this oath, may I be struck down by heaven and earth, my Spirit shattered, and I never be Reincarnated!"
This was not just a simple statement, but a pledge of loyalty made with one's Spirit!
In the Douluo Continent, Soul Masters swear an oath with their Spirit and are bound by the rules of heaven and earth. Once they break the oath, the consequences are extremely serious.
After Yue Guan finished speaking, he did not get up, but remained kneeling, his eyes filled with pleading and expectation, and said bluntly:
"Your Highness, I humbly request that you... bestow upon me an Immortal Herb!"
"Your Highness, I am willing to dedicate the rest of my life to clearing away all obstacles for your sword!"
Gui Mei followed closely behind and said in a deep voice:
"The same applies to your subordinate!"
"I humbly beg Your Highness to grant my request!"
Looking at the two Titled Douluos kneeling before her and swearing allegiance, Bibi Dong felt a surge of shock.
This was a Titled Douluo!
The strongest at the top of the continent's pyramid!
They were polite to her on a daily basis, but only because of her status.
And now, they were willingly submitting to the two children, even going so far as to make solemn vows!
All of this was because...
Bibi Dong turned to look at Lan Yue beside her, her eyes filled with admiration and pride.
It was all because of this little guy!
He brought them here, he saw the value of this place at a glance, and he was the one who made these two Titled Douluos lower their noble heads!
Lan Yue looked at the two kneeling on the ground, a slight smile playing on his lips.
