Chapter 29 They even guard against children? Engagement Banquet
Evening.
Dugu Bo brought a bowl of Whale Glue that had melted into a gelatinous state to Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling's training room.
"Grandpa, you're here! Lingling and I have been waiting for so long. Hurry up and give Lingling the prepared medicine." Dugu Yan couldn't wait to share her little secret with her best friend.
Ye Lingling respectfully greeted, "Grandpa Dugu."
"Hmm." Dugu Bo nodded, looking at his granddaughter-in-law with increasing satisfaction. He said with a loving expression, "This is the medicinal herb that can improve physical fitness. After taking it, you can refine it with your soul power. Next, you will need to take it six times to increase your physical strength to more than two thousand years."
To improve his future granddaughter-in-law's physical condition, Dugu Bo selected only the finest Wannian Whale Glue. However, each piece had to be given to Ye Lingling several times, otherwise the effect would be too much for a child to handle.
Ye Lingling was overjoyed and quickly said, "Thank you, Grandpa Dugu."
Ye Lingling didn't recognize the melted Whale Glue. After taking the medicine bowl, she only smelled a faint fishy odor.
Of course, even if you put a whole Whale Glue in front of her, she wouldn't recognize it. A seven-year-old girl is still very innocent; how could she possibly know about any aphrodisiacs?
Just as Ye Lingling was refining the Whale Glue, and her physical strength was being enhanced, Dugu Lin coincidentally appeared in front of Ye Lingling at that moment!
Ye Lingling spotted Dugu Lin at a glance, leaving an indelible impression on her heart!
The innocent, budding girlish heart in her began to undergo subtle changes, and her face flushed red with embarrassment.
Seeing this, Dugu Lin was secretly delighted, thinking to himself: 'When the other girls absorb Whale Glue later, I'll appear in front of them... hehe~ Wouldn't that make the difficulty level instantly easy? No! No! That's too lewd! I can't do that!'
'Although I don't want to be a good person, in terms of character, I absolutely cannot be inferior to Shrek!'
Dugu Lin put away his thoughts and said in a serious tone, "Sister, let's go and prepare bath water for Sister Lingling. Look, Sister Lingling is covered in sweat."
"Okay, let's go together!"
After a while, once the bathwater was ready, Dugu Yan pouted and said, "You brat, Lingling wants to take a bath, aren't you going out?"
"Fine, fine, you guys are even wary of kids... really Hmph I'm ignoring you guys~" Dugu Lin muttered as he walked away.
Ye Lingling watched Dugu Lin's departing figure, her face flushed red with embarrassment, her little heart pounding wildly. Unfortunately, at her age, she probably didn't even understand what liking someone meant.
A few days later.
When Ye Lingling returned to the Ye family, the engagement date of Dugu Yan and Qian Renxue was also approaching.
"Lingling, what's wrong?"
Back home, Ye Renxin hurriedly asked.
"Grandpa, I feel that my physical strength has indeed increased a lot. Grandpa Dugu said that there will be no problem absorbing a two-thousand-year-old soul ring."
"Let Grandpa check her over first." As a former healing-type Soul Master on the continent, Ye Renxin only needed to slightly pinch her bones to know that Ye Lingling's physical strength was even stronger than that of a level 30 Quasi-Soul Master.
Ye Renxin exclaimed in amazement, "As expected... this old monster is really strange. He actually managed to make a level 10 Soul Master absorb a Soul Ring with a lifespan of two thousand years!"
Looking at Ye Lingling, Ye Renxin felt quite conflicted. It seemed that he would really have to give Dugu Lin a granddaughter as a dowry to uncover the secret of the first ring of the millennium!
After pondering for a long time, Ye Renxin finally squatted down to be at eye level with Ye Lingling and said softly, "Lingling, our Nine Heart Begonia clan has been restricted by our martial souls for generations. Only two Nine Heart Begonia martial souls can exist in the world at the same time..."
"Grandpa..." Ye Lingling was very downcast when he mentioned this.
Because her father's martial soul was the Nine Heart Begonia, he failed to awaken his martial soul, becoming the only person in the Douluo Continent without a martial soul.
Later, after Ye Lingling's great-grandfather passed away, Ye Lingling's father originally had the opportunity to awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul, but he chose not to! He gave the opportunity to awaken the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul to Ye Lingling.
This is the curse that only two Nine-Heart Begonia Martial Souls can exist at the same time.
However, this series of experiences also made Ye Lingling taciturn; this is how the future ice queen was forged.
"Lingling…"
Ye Renxin's eyes were a little red as he urged, "You broke the limitation on the age of your soul rings from the very first ring. You are the most likely person among countless generations to break this curse! Lingling, you must never let your guard down... You must cultivate diligently!"
"Mmm!" Ye Lingling clenched her little fists tightly, stubbornly holding back her tears.
Ye Renxin felt heavy-hearted, having placed such a heavy burden on his seven-year-old granddaughter's shoulders, but what could he do?
Two days later.
Just after Ye Renxin returned to Heaven Dou City with a two-thousand-year-old Lone Bamboo Soul Ring for Ye Lingling, he heard the news that Dugu Yan was about to get engaged to Xue Qinghe, the eldest prince of the Heaven Dou Empire.
"Sister Yan'er is getting engaged?" Ye Lingling asked in surprise.
Upon hearing the news, Ye Ren had many more thoughts. He thought to himself, "The old monster is forming a marriage alliance with the Heaven Dou Empire, and he wants to drag our Ye clan into it... With the old monster, the Heaven Dou Empire, and my Ye clan forming a powerful alliance, we could indeed get involved in the business of the first ring of the millennium!"
However, Dugu Bo had no intention of revealing the secret of the first ring of a thousand years at this time. He was still planning to keep it a secret for a few more years and stock up on supplies.
A few days later, Xue Qinghe and Dugu Yan's engagement banquet was held as scheduled.
Inside a palace in the royal palace.
At the engagement banquet, Xue Luochuan drank a glass of wine in silence with a gloomy face, glancing almost imperceptibly at Emperor Auspicious Beast and the Empress on the main seats.
Emperor Auspicious Beast, beaming, raised his wine cup and addressed Dugu Bo to his right: "It is an honor for our Heaven Dou Empire that Your Majesty Dugu has been appointed as a guest minister! Here, let this cup be a token of my respect!"
Dugu Bo also raised his wine cup and said with a smile, "Hahaha~ Your Majesty is too kind. My granddaughter will need the care of the eldest prince from now on!"
After downing a glass of wine, Dugu Bo glanced with satisfaction at the location where Qian Renxue was.
Qian Renxue is currently ten years old, but she is impersonating the eleven-year-old Xue Qinghe. In the Douluo Continent, where the average age of adulthood is twelve, the eleven-year-old Xue Qinghe already looks like a handsome young man. At this moment, she is smiling happily, her smile as warm as a spring breeze.
Dugu Yan, standing next to Dugu Bo, glanced at Qian Renxue. Upon meeting Qian Renxue's 'intense' gaze, she quickly withdrew her shy eyes like a startled fawn, her cheeks flushed red.
Dugu Lin's lips twitched, and he thought worriedly, "No way? No way? He hasn't really been turned gay, has he?"
