Chapter 23
: That's just how he is, he has no morals whatsoever.
Sunset Forest, within the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
At this moment, Dugu Bo's gaze seemed capable of materializing and killing.
He glared fiercely at Fang Yuan, who was being held in his granddaughter's arms, thinking that the boy was really despicable, sneaking into his herb garden was one thing.
He even managed to bewitch his own granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
but……
Dugu Bo looked at Fang Yuan, who was entangled by his granddaughter, whose emerald green snake tail was tightening its grip, making him unable to move and almost unable to breathe, and then looked away.
This kid's presence at least calmed his granddaughter's emotions, so he's done something. Let's keep him around for now.
Dugu Bo pondered inwardly.
And another one...
Dugu Bo's gaze fell on the unconscious girl with the scorpion braid, his eyes burning with intensity.
As a titled Douluo, Dugu Bo could naturally tell that Xiao Wu was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form.
Moreover, he was only a Soul Master of the teens, and had no power to resist him at all.
How could Dugu Bo not be overjoyed at such a windfall—a 100,000-year-old soul ring and soul bone delivered to his door for free?
In addition, having recently learned about the effects of the medicinal herbs in the herb garden, Dugu Bo felt as if he had struck it rich.
The only regret is that his granddaughter has become somewhat mentally unstable since she failed to find Fang Yuan.
·············
"Yan Yan, look what this is?" Dugu Bo pointed at Xiao Wu on the ground and said, wanting to give Dugu Yan a surprise. After all, he was already a Title Douluo and his soul rings were full. This 100,000-year-old transformed soul beast was just right for Yan Yan and could also distract her from Fang Yuan.
Dugu Yan had already noticed Xiao Wu's presence when Fang Yuan brought Xiao Wu in.
In the simulated memory, Dugu Yan also knew Xiao Wu and knew her identity as a 100,000-year-old soul beast transformed into a human.
Dugu Yan was able to join forces with Tang San to fight against the Spirit Hall and rescue Fang Yuan because Xiao Wu was killed by the Spirit Hall. Tang San chose to cooperate with Dugu Yan in order to seek revenge.
However, the final result was tragic.
Tang San, because of Bibi Dong's disgusting thoughts and feelings, suddenly attacked A Yuan.
Even Dugu Yan was caught off guard.
The thought of this filled Dugu Yan with murderous intent.
The people she most wanted to kill this time were Bibi Dong and Tang San, tied for first place. The former was her love rival who wanted to steal her lover, while the latter was someone who betrayed her and caused her lover's death.
Unfortunately, Bibi Dong is now very powerful and is the Pope of the Spirit Hall, so Dugu Yan can't do anything about her.
As for Tang San, not to mention that he also has a titled Douluo father protecting him, Dugu Yan also found out the information.
Tang San was attacked by the Spirit Hall in Notting City, and it was only after Tang Hao exposed himself that Tang San was able to escape successfully.
Dugu Yan naturally thought of this as well. Someone from the Spirit Hall must have been reborn. Dugu Yan's first suspect was naturally Bibi Dong.
Thinking of Bibi Dong, Dugu Yan recalled the scene when she found A Yuan in the secret room...
The bed was pristine yet disheveled... The boy's body was covered in marks, but his eyes remained clear and pure... He seemed... unaware of what had happened to him...
The dangerous and bewitching snake woman held her lover even more tightly in her arms, her emerald green snake eyes now filled with murderous intent.
Bibi Dong, that old hag!
"Yan Yan, what's wrong with you?" Seeing that Dugu Yan didn't reply for a long time, but instead her killing intent grew stronger, Dugu Bo was very confused. He didn't know what he had done wrong to provoke his granddaughter.
"It's alright, Grandpa. Let's lock up this 100,000-year-old soul beast. We don't need to now," Dugu Yantou said, snapping out of her reverie upon hearing her grandfather's voice beside her.
"..." Before he could even say anything, how did his granddaughter know that this girl was a 100,000-year-old soul beast in human form?
Although he had many questions, Dugu Bo didn't want to further upset his granddaughter's already unstable mind, so he replied, "Okay, Grandpa will lock her up first, then I'll cook for you."
After saying that, Dugu Bo picked up Xiao Wu and left.
Fang Yuan kept glancing at Xiao Wu out of the corner of his eye. Those were mine, the soul rings and soul bones I had prepared for myself!
Looking at Fang Yuan's appearance, Dugu Yan suddenly laughed, "Hahaha, Yuan, you're still the same as ever."
Halfway through her sentence, Dugu Yan suddenly leaned closer, her emerald green snake eyes meeting Fang Yuan's. She flicked out her long, thin, crimson forked tongue, giving Fang Yuan no chance to dodge or retreat. Her emerald green snake tail, reflecting iridescent light, forcibly closed the distance between them.
"You're always so persistent."
Or rather, very simply, Fang Yuan of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School may be foolish, but his essence remains unchanged; his goal has always been very clear.
Although he is usually silly, he never makes mistakes or slacks off when he is cultivating.
Dugu Yan could see what A Yuan longed for in his clear, glassy eyes.
The same goes for A Yuan now. Although she has put on a more disguised act, Dugu Yan, who is familiar with Fang Yuan, can still see through her.
Fang Yuan only wants to become stronger!
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Fang Yuan blinked, his mind racing. He sensed something was amiss; Dugu Yan knew him very well.
They're not so easy to fool anymore...
"What are you going to do with me?" Fang Yuan asked, sensing the green snake tail binding his body.
"As your fiancée, of course I will take good care of A-Yuan." Dugu Yan's eyes were full of obsession as she continued to say to Fang Yuan, "Don't worry, I will definitely protect you this time. Neither Bibi Dong nor Tang San will be able to hurt you."
Fang Yuan felt somewhat relieved and asked the next question, "Will you let me continue my cultivation?"
Fang Yuan actually wanted to ask if he could have the immortal herb.
If he could consume immortal herbs and continue cultivating, and with Dugu Bo as his backer, Fang Yuan wouldn't mind living off Dugu Yan.
He's just that shameless.
"..." This time, Dugu Yan did not give an answer immediately; her eyes were full of struggle.
Finally, she asked, "A-Yuan, what is your martial spirit now?"
When she captured Fang Yuan before, although she was mentally unstable, she still had memories. Dugu Yan remembered that Fang Yuan had grown a pair of golden wings on his back at that time.
Is A Yuan's martial soul no longer the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in this life?
Moreover, judging from the aura I sensed at that time, it was a top-tier beast spirit...
Fang Yuan didn't hide anything, "The Radiant Phoenix Martial Soul."
Dugu Yan was already mentally prepared. Staring at Fang Yuan's holy and aloof face, she continued to confirm, "How much innate soul power do you have?"
"Innate full soul power."
Dugu Yan stopped speaking...
A Yuan's talent in this life seems to be even stronger than his own, and she is no longer a weak support soul master who needs his protection.
