In the end, Ye Lingling didn't say anything, and Dugu Yan didn't notice anything amiss, so she put her feelings from her mind.
His brows furrowed immediately, and he said angrily:
"It's all because of that Yu Tianheng, he's so annoying! He keeps coming over to bother me, especially after I left Tiandou City, he's been following me around all day!"
"I've refused him again and again, but he's still like a leech. If it weren't for the fact that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is not to be trifled with, I would really want to cripple him!"
"Besides, Grandpa, didn't you tell me before that I should stay away from him? So I ran back!"
Upon hearing Dugu Yan's words, Bai Yu blinked, somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected that Dugu Yan wouldn't end up with Yu Tianheng.
Is it because he has the Ten Thousand Poison Hand, which allows her to perfectly control the Azure Scale Poison and freely touch people? Or is it the butterfly effect of his recruitment of Dugu Bo?
A cold glint flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes, then he smiled and said to Dugu Yan:
"It's alright, Yanyan. When Yu Tianheng comes back, Grandpa will personally teach him a lesson for you! So what if he has a titled douluo Grandpa? Everyone has a titled douluo, right?"
Dugu Yan watched her grandfather boasting, pursed her lips, and spoke with a slightly teasing tone.
"Okay, Grandpa, then you go and clean him up! So he won't bother me again!"
Dugu Bo's expression stiffened, realizing that his little darling was letting in some drafts, and he coughed lightly.
"Well, killing him is out of the question, but giving him a beating as a warning is acceptable."
"Besides, it's not that I'm afraid of Yu Yuanzhen, it's mainly that I'm worried that if I kill his grandson, he'll take revenge on you, Yanyan!"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, ignoring her grandfather's boasting.
However, she also knew that with Dugu Bo's personality, if it weren't for her being a concern, he would really dare to go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect to release poison!
She then walked over to Ye Lingling, pulled her to sit on the stone bench in the pavilion, and said to Dugu Bo:
"Grandpa, I'm hungry. We've been traveling and haven't eaten. Can you ask someone to get us some food?"
Dugu Bo clicked his tongue, thinking that his granddaughter didn't trust him, and secretly thought that when Yu Tianheng came back, he would definitely teach him a lesson!
Then, with a fawning smile, he looked at Dugu Yan and nodded repeatedly.
"Alright, alright, Grandpa will buy it for you himself! Yanyan, you can entertain kid Bai for Grandpa first. You're both young, so you can have a good chat!"
Dugu Yan glanced at Bai Yu, her face flushed slightly, while Bai Yu grinned and said sarcastically:
"Old Poisoner, you finally managed to go out, so buy a lot. I haven't eaten either, I'm starving!"
Unlike his relationship with his granddaughter, Dugu Bo didn't care at all about Bai Yu's teasing; his main point was that he had a thick skin!
He turned around and walked out, making a laughing sound.
"Don't worry, kid. You've come all this way, how could I let you go hungry? I'll make sure you're well-fed!"
After Dugu Bo walked out the door, Dugu Yan looked at Bai Yu and blinked her big eyes.
"Bai Yu, I heard from Grandpa that you're incredibly strong, like a monster. You were level 48 five years ago? That's four levels higher than me now! Is that true?"
When Bai Yu heard Dugu Yan ask about his strength, he tapped his teacup with his fingers and nodded with a smile.
"Yes, Old Poison is right, I was indeed level 48 five years ago."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's admission, Dugu Yan's eyes widened even more. She reached out and pulled Ye Lingling up, then ran to sit down next to Bai Yu.
Then, with a face full of excitement, he said:
"My grandpa said you were only twelve years old five years ago, my goodness! How strong are you now? Can you show me your martial Soul?"
Ye Lingling was also shocked. She only knew about Bai Yu from when Dugu Yan complained about her grandfather.
At that time, Dugu Yan pulled her aside and said that her grandfather no longer loved her and was going to give her away to someone else, and that person would be Bai Yu.
As for how big or how strong Bai Yu was, she hadn't asked any of those questions and had no idea!
Now that she heard that Bai Yu was even younger than them and that five years ago she already possessed strength far surpassing theirs, Ye Lingling's expression became somewhat out of control.
(TL: iirc mc is 2 years younger than dugu yan I think it was mentioned in like chapter 10 or around there)
Bai Yu excitedly approached Dugu Yan, who was wearing a tight leather outfit that revealed her slender waist and carried a faint, pleasant fragrance.
He chuckled inwardly; the more he looked at her, the more she resembled a nightclub queen! He then shook his head and said to her:
"You seem quite curious. I'm a Soul Saint now, so it's no harm to take a look at my Martial Soul."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, he released his martial soul, and a small Blue Silver King appeared in his hand, with seven soul rings revolving around the martial soul.
"ah!?"
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling stared at Bai Yu's martial Soul, their pupils instantly contracting and then trembling.
"This...this can't be right! Yellow, purple, black, black, red? This is fake, isn't it? You must be lying to us, right?"
After Dugu Yan looked at it carefully again, she exclaimed in surprise. She had never seen such a soul ring configuration in a picture book. How could she believe it was real?
Bai Yu put away his martial Soul, looked down at Dugu Yan who was nestled in his arms, raised his hand and pinched her pretty face, the corners of his mouth slightly upturned.
(TL: whend she get in his arms?)
"Why would I lie to you? I have some good fortune, and this soul ring configuration is also the product of coincidence. There's no need to be surprised."
At this point, Bai Yu muttered to himself:
"Currently, besides me, only that little fox Nana possesses the fourth ring of the ten-thousand-year age. Even if others can physically withstand it, their mental strength cannot withstand the impact."
"Only the little fox could barely manage to do that with the 'Looking-Through-Autumn-Water Dew' technique."
"However, once my Soul Gathering Seal spreads, the fourth ring of the Ten Thousand Years should not be so rare anymore, since there will be no more soul impact."
While Bai Yu was lost in thought, Dugu Yan was stunned and even forgot to get out of Bai Yu's arms.
In her excitement, she pounced on Bai Yu for a close look, and before she could react, her cheek was pinched.
Ye Lingling couldn't stand it anymore and reached out to pull her out.
The two's actions interrupted Bai Yu's thoughts. He turned his head and saw that Dugu Yan, the queen of nightclubs, was staring at him with a flushed face.
"Why...why did you pinch my cheek just now?"
Dugu Yan's question left Bai Yu speechless. He had just acted on impulse, so how could he explain it?
"Well... I'm a friend of your grandfather's, and you're his granddaughter... cough cough, just take it as a way of showing affection!"
Bai Yu felt a little embarrassed, so he poured himself a cup of tea, intending to take a sip to cover it up.
Hearing Bai Yu's nonsensical explanation, Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, not believing it at all!
Are you kidding me? Do you think everyone's never seen a man flirt with a woman before?
Those practiced movements, coupled with that scanning gaze, indicate closeness? Yes, definitely closeness!
Then her eyes lit up, a smile appeared on her face, and she leaned against Bai Yu again, wrapping her arms around his.
"You said you're friends with my grandfather, so you're from the same generation as him? In that case, how about I call you Grandpa Bai?"
