Conversation with Dugu Bo

Chapter 17 Conversation with Dugu Bo

(Note: Some parts of these two chapters may be a bit melodramatic, because it was really noisy at the karaoke bar and my friends kept asking me to sing... I'll try my best to write something normal. If you don't want to read it, just skip ahead, and please don't get angry...)

(I cried from the poison)

When they returned to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, the sky had already begun to brighten slightly.

Shen Hanyu was in high spirits and showed no signs of fatigue.

Dugu Bo, as a titled Douluo, recovered after a short meditation and stood by the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, seemingly lost in thought.

Shen Hanyu didn't dare to disturb him. He casually ate some dry rations, clapped his hands, and then slowly walked to Dugu Bo's side, asking:

"Senior Dugu, is something on your mind?"

Dugu Bo glanced at Shen Hanyu and said calmly:

"I'm thinking about Yan Yan."

Shen Hanyu was somewhat puzzled and said:

"Your granddaughter is doing well now, what is there to worry about?"

Dugu Bo sighed softly, then gave a bitter laugh twice, and said:

"It's all my fault. This girl lost her parents when she was young, and I felt indebted to her, so I indulged her in everything, which led to her becoming more and more arrogant and domineering."

"And that boy from the Blue-Pointed Tyrannosaurus Rex family is also arrogant. The two of them are constantly arguing, sometimes a little, sometimes a big one. I'm getting fed up with it. More importantly, I don't want Yan Yan to have any emotional flaws in her future..."

Shen Hanyu nodded and said reassuringly:

"Senior Dugu, don't worry too much. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. They've just gotten together, and after the honeymoon phase, there will naturally be a period of disagreements. If they can get through this period, then unless their relationship faces any major troubles, there won't be any major problems."

Dugu Bo nodded, then suddenly said:

Do you have any other siblings at home?

Shen Hanyu hummed in agreement and said:

"I also have a younger sister who is three years younger than me, and she's quite talented too."

Dugu Bo nodded thoughtfully and said:

"I'm considering having Yanyan recognize you as her elder brother, or perhaps even have her recognize you as her uncle. What do you think?"

Shen Hanyu glanced at Dugu Bo with some surprise, and finally asked in an uncertain tone:

"Senior Dugu, do you know what you're saying?"

Dugu Bo was not angry; he simply nodded, looked up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle, and said:

"I want to pave the way for Yan Yan in every way. Even if she suffers setbacks in her love life in the future, it is important to have a reliable support. After thinking it over, I think you are the most suitable candidate."

Shen Hanyu pursed his lips and said:

"So you came up with this terrible idea? You know your granddaughter's personality better than I do. If she could recognize it, it would be harder than a sow climbing a tree..."

"What do you mean 'bad idea'! This is called being prepared for a rainy day! Being prepared for a rainy day! Don't you even know what I mean...?"

Before Shen Hanyu could finish speaking, Dugu Bo interrupted him without hesitation.

"Okay, okay... planning ahead... planning ahead... You really trust me, what if I'm the kind of person who says one thing and does another..."

Dugu Bo glanced at Shen Hanyu with disdain and said:

"Isn't that the kind of person you are? However, I have a strange feeling that you are a trustworthy person, at least much better than those hypocritical scoundrels."

Shen Hanyu did not deny it; he knew better than anyone what kind of person he was.

"Alright, old Biden, I've accepted all that. As for how to convince your granddaughter, you'll have to figure that out yourself..."

Shen Hanyu decided to go all out and said directly.

Dugu Bo paused for a moment, then asked:

"What does 'Old Biden' mean? I have a feeling..."

Shen Hanyu was somewhat surprised, then asked:

"you do not know?"

Dugu Bo nodded.

Shen Hanyu's lips twitched, then he explained:

"Oh, this is our native language from the far north."

"Bi represents a powerful and prestigious elder."

"而登" means to reach the pinnacle or the highest level.

"Take all the elements together, and you'll be a master of your craft! A truly admirable figure!"

These words were spoken with righteous indignation and without a single flaw.

Dugu Bo hesitated for a moment, wanting to speak but stopping himself several times, before finally steeling himself and admitting it!

Let Old Bitden be Old Bitden then...

Although it doesn't sound very good, at least the meaning is positive...

At least this kid has a conscience...

Shen Hanyu forcibly suppressed his laughter, his straight back slightly hunched, but he maintained an outwardly nonchalant demeanor...

………………

That afternoon, Dugu Bo forcibly brought his granddaughter, who hadn't even started her holiday yet, back directly from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The three teachers from the Tian Dou Royal Academy did not dare to stop them and could only respectfully send Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan away.

Shen Hanyu sat on the boulder to consolidate his cultivation. He sensed Dugu Bo returning with his men from afar, so he simply kept quiet and watched the show from the sidelines.

As soon as Dugu Bo landed, a beautiful young woman with a well-proportioned figure jumped out from behind him, grabbed one of his arms, and said shakily:

"Grandpa, why did you bring me back? I have things to do later..."

Dugu Bo snorted and said:

"So what if you went on a date with your little boyfriend? Do you think Grandpa doesn't know about your relationship? Are you trying to hide it from Grandpa?"

A blush crept onto Dugu Yan's face; she seemed somewhat flustered, and after a long pause, she finally spoke:

"Grandpa, I've made up my mind about him. You decide what to do. Yu Tianheng has been very good to me. I won't leave Yu Tianheng! Unless I die!"

Hiding in the shadows, Shen Hanyu clicked his tongue in amazement. "No wonder it's the Continent of Love," he thought, "these people's love-obsessed minds are truly cultivated from a young age..."

A bitter look appeared on Dugu Bo's face, and then he said:

"But... Yan Yan, you're only twelve years old. You need to take good care of yourself... That's not what Grandpa was saying... You... Sigh!"

Dugu Yan, feeling embarrassed, released Dugu Bo's arm, turned her back, steam almost rising from her head, and remained silent for a long time before finally saying:

"Grandpa, I know what's important..."

Dugu Bo looked at her, nodded, and said:

"Yanyan, Grandpa is old and can't concern himself with these things anymore, but you must promise me you'll take good care of yourself, okay?"

"Besides, you're still young, it's too early for romance... Your most important thing right now is to focus on your cultivation..."

Dugu Yan was listening attentively, but as soon as her grandfather started rambling on about these things, she covered her ears and squatted down, muttering that she wouldn't listen, acting like a complete tyrant.

Dugu Bo stood to the side with a helpless and somewhat desolate expression. If Dugu Bo were the hot-tempered older brother, Dugu Yan would probably be convulsing on the ground by now...

Shen Hanyu inexplicably felt that Dugu Bo resembled one of those modern-day old men who get their hands on by a blond-haired thug...

Like… Old Deng? Downstairs? Will-o'-the-wisp? Safety?

Absolutely mind-blowing...

However, in the end, Dugu Yan couldn't resist Dugu Bo's persistent pleading and reluctantly nodded in agreement, though she still had a haughty and aloof look on her face.

Shen Hanyu clicked his tongue in amazement. His first impression of Dugu Yan wasn't very good, but he could indeed sense that the other party was not a bad person at heart, only somewhat immature.

She's quite different from the femme fatale in the original story, at least in terms of her mindset.

Seeing Dugu Yan nod, Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief. Heaven knows how he felt when he first found out that his granddaughter had gone to a hotel with that brat…

I almost wanted to go straight to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family and unleash a Azure Phosphorus Light...

"Yanyan, there's something very important I want to tell you when I bring you back this time."

Dugu Yan responded and asked curiously:

"Grandpa, what's wrong that makes you so serious..."

Dugu Bo revealed a strange smile and said:

"Grandpa recently met a genius, and they've become very close. This guy is a once-in-a-century genius, and he's only a year older than you. So Grandpa wants you to have him as an older brother. What do you think...?"
