Chapter 41
: Bibi Dong is my weakness
Suddenly, Dugu Bo thought of something...
In an instant, the culprit was identified—Fang Yuan.
When he left, the only people in the entire herb garden were Yan Yan, Fang Yuan, and that 100,000-year-old soul beast. Yan Yan couldn't possibly do that, and that 100,000-year-old soul beast was only a Soul Master. Only Fang Yuan could possibly do it.
But what worries him more right now is not the discovery of the immortal herb, but the fact that Dugu Yan, along with Fang Yuan and the 100,000-year-old soul beast, have all vanished without a trace.
What about people?
How come the herb garden was turned upside down in just a short while, yet Yan Yan has vanished without a trace? Could Fang Yuan have done something to his granddaughter?
Dugu Bo was very anxious about his granddaughter.
"How should I know? Where is my magic herb?!"
Bibi Dong, who was observing carefully, already understood what was going on.
She guessed that Fang Yuan had probably taken advantage of the moment when Dugu Bo left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well to sneak in and loot everything.
only……
Bibi Dong's gaze shifted slightly, and she spoke softly, her tone carrying a chilling undertone: "Where is your granddaughter, Dugu Yan?"
Upon hearing these words, she herself was overwhelmed with extremely complex emotions.
In her third life, she personally and cruelly broke up Dugu Yan and Fang Yuan, a couple who were deeply in love and had already arranged their marriage. Whenever she thought of this, she felt both a twisted pleasure of revenge and a heart-wrenching pain.
She was the one who rightfully and first became engaged to A-Yuan, so why...?
"Pass down the order: search for Dugu Yan and those around her with all your might." Bibi Dong's voice was icy, her killing intent undisguised. "Dugu Yan... kill her without mercy. But those around her, do not harm them in the slightest, capture them all alive."
Bibi Dong was certain that Fang Yuan was with Dugu Yan at this moment. As long as she kept an eye on Dugu Yan, she would be able to follow the clues and find Fang Yuan's whereabouts.
After all, in their third life, their relationship was so good...
·············
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo froze, his face turning deathly pale.
"I'm willing! I'm willing to serve the Spirit Hall!" Dugu Bo blurted out, his voice trembling with suppressed emotion, abandoning all dignity and pride. "As long as you don't harm Yan Yan, I'll agree to anything you ask!"
Bibi Dong merely glanced at him indifferently, her eyes expressionless, neither nodding nor refusing.
In her eyes, Dugu Bo still had value and was an excellent bait to lure Dugu Yan and Fang Yuan.
Having confirmed that all the immortal herbs had been taken by Fang Yuan, there was no need to linger here any longer. Bibi Dong immediately gave instructions on the follow-up matters, leaving Chrysanthemum Douluo to take over the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and clean up the mess, while she herself turned and left, wondering where A Yuan would go next.
At this moment, beneath the spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, Dugu Yan was holding her breath, her whole body tense as she hid deep within.
The water blocked out most of the sounds and smells from the outside world. Relying on her special constitution that made her immune to water and fire, she remained motionless, listening intently to everything that was happening on the surface of the water, not daring to make a sound.
However, the hatred in his eyes was hard to conceal.
Compare! Compare! East!
································
In the deep and tranquil Blue Silver Forest, Blue Silver Grass spreads out like a tide, its branches and leaves entwined with a faint dark aura, cold and eerie, completely different from the gentle warmth of ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Xiao Wu huddled to the side, her pretty face deathly pale. Her bright almond-shaped eyes were now filled with terror as she watched Fang Yuan unleash his soul skill, causing the dark blue silver grass to grow wildly and devour everything around it. Her body trembled uncontrollably.
You should know that there are quite a few seeds of these Blue Silver Grass inside her body.
From the moment Blue Silver King saw Fang Yuan, he noticed Xiao Wu behind Fang Yuan. With his cultivation level, he could see through Xiao Wu's human skin and see through the soul beast aura of a 100,000-year-old Soft Bone Rabbit.
However, the world of soul beasts is inherently cruel, a world where the strong prey on the weak, and there is little room for sentimentality.
Moreover, from the perspective of the natural food chain, Blue Silver Grass is one of the main foods of the Soft-boned Rabbit, and countless of its kind have perished in the past.
Now that Xiao Wu is in Fang Yuan's hands, he knows Fang Yuan's plans. Instead of feeling any sympathy, he feels it is only natural and will not raise any objections to Fang Yuan for the sake of a former "nemesis".
After a moment of silence, the Blue Silver King's aged yet steady voice echoed through the forest, carrying a hint of reminder: "Your Majesty, once a soul beast cultivates to the point of 100,000 years, it will more or less make some companions over the long years. In particular, those 100,000-year-old soul beasts that successfully break through the shackles and transform into human form often have powerful soul beasts protecting them."
"The woman beside you... has a special identity, so please be extra careful. Do not take her too far into the heart of the Soul Beast Forest. If you encounter her former clansmen or companions, it could cause trouble."
Back then, he never left her side, protecting the newly transformed, still innocent and vulnerable 100,000-year-old Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin, and ensuring her safety all the way.
Fang Yuan nodded slightly upon hearing this. He was naturally well aware of these principles, even more so than the Blue Silver King.
He knew that Xiao Wu had two incredibly powerful guardians in the core of the Star Dou Great Forest—the Azure Bull Python and the Titan Giant Ape, which were 100,000-year-old soul beasts that even Title Douluo had to be wary of.
"Thank you, I'll be careful," he replied casually, indicating that he was aware of the situation.
His soul power has now broken through to level 56, and his first martial soul is the Bright Phoenix. He is still missing three soul rings, each of which is related to a significant increase in strength.
The most troublesome problem is that soul beasts with the attribute of light are extremely rare in the world, making it difficult to find one that is compatible with them.
He also knew that the Spirit Hall had a vast collection of books, its inherited spirit was the six-winged angel, and its intelligence network covered the entire continent. It must have knowledge of the habitats and detailed information of many light-attribute spirit beasts.
But Fang Yuan no longer wants to go to the Spirit Hall. The four consecutive simulated deaths were more or less related to Bibi Dong, the Pope of the Spirit Hall.
Inexplicably, he felt that Bibi Dong was simply his nemesis. Let alone actively seeking information from her, even if he bumped into her from afar, he would take a detour and would never willingly walk into her trap.
Fang Yuan looked at the illusory consciousness of the Blue Silver King again, "I have one more thing."
"I urgently need light-attribute soul beasts for my cultivation. Do you know which ones are available?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire blue-silver grass sea swayed gently, the leaves rubbing together to produce a delicate and ethereal sound.
The Blue Silver King's aged yet gentle voice rang out.
"Light attribute..."
"I have been in charge of the Blue Silver lineage and have always been in the Blue Silver Forest. I have never left. I have never seen any light-attribute soul beasts." The Blue Silver King said, shaking his head at Fang Yuan.
