Chapter 285.1: Not Even a Cruel Tiger Devours Its Cubs (1/2)

Tang Doudou was also stunned to see this person. By the time she came back to her senses, she had already blurted out, “Shen Moru!”

“Jeje, you probably never imagined that we would meet again this soon?” The surprise in Shen Moru’s eyes immediately turned to coldness. He no longer looked like that horrifying withered thing from before. His eyes now had dark purple irises and he looked very healthy with ample flesh.

He had probably used some sort of method to recover to peak condition again after leaving the cave.

“Humph, the road between enemies sure is narrow!”

Shen Moru smiled without replying, then turned and bowed to Lan Jia. “Your Majesty, Saint Emperor.”

Lan Jia was the Saint Emperor?

Tang Doudou was extremely shocked, but when she glanced over, she saw that Baili Yu didn’t seem surprised at all.

“Have you found the object I sent you to look for?” asked Lan Jia as he coldly looked at Shen Moru.

From the looks of it, Lan Jia didn’t seem to like Shen Moru.

Shen Moru replied, “I’ve already found it.”

“Where is it?”

“Please wait for a few moments, Saint Emperor. It will be brought here shortly.” Shen Moru acted quite humble and respectful in front of Lan Jia.

Lan Jia said ‘en’ in reply. Tang Doudou didn’t know what exactly they were talking about, but she noticed that the anger in Lan Jia’s eyes had eased a little after he heard that the object was being brought here.

That object was probably going to be used against her and Baili Yu. When Tang Doudou reached this conclusion, she couldn’t help but start feeling nervous. After all, this was the territory of the Seven Great Saint Tribes. No matter how amazing Baili Yu was, he still wouldn’t be able to handle so many enemies on his own.

As her thoughts reached this point, she glanced up to check Baili Yu’s expression only to see that Baili Yu had also glanced down at her in this moment.

“Wife, don’t worry. This husband won’t let them hurt you.” His eyes emitted gentle light.

He really was gentle, and very reliable as well.

Tang Doudou felt reassured and was no longer worried, so then she became bored.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for that object to arrive, she was the only one that seemed completely out of the loop.

As she thought about it, she couldn’t help but become depressed. That in combination with the boredom caused her to yawn.

Baili Yu walked over and pulled her into his arms. “Wife, if you’re tired, then just sleep for a while.”

Tang Doudou always felt safe in his presence, so she leaned into his sturdy and broad chest and soon fell asleep.

Upon seeing this, Lan Jia gave a cold humph, seeming very unhappy with Tang Doudou’s lack of concern in this situation. “After all this time, you ended up choosing a woman this dumb? You seriously have no taste!”

He had spoken quietly. From the looks of it, he didn’t want to wake Tang Doudou up.

Baili Yu patted Tang Doudou’s back gently as he laughed softly. “Of course, my taste isn’t as good as yours.”

Suddenly, his voice turned cold. “After all, you can take a liking to anything that’s a woman. Just this is already something I can never hope to surpass.”
