Drifting Through Half a Life, Only Regretting That I Had Not Met a Wise Master Sooner

Upon hearing that Qian Xunfeng had a solution, Dugu Bo hurried back to Heaven Dou City to contact Dugu Tian, preparing to carefully bring his daughter-in-law to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

At that moment, Qian Xunfeng took Ah Yin's hand and slowly walked toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Feeling the aura emanating from the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Ah Yin could not suppress the delight in her heart. She said tenderly to Qian Xunfeng, "Xunfeng, this environment is so suitable for plant martial souls to cultivate in."

"Do you like it?"

Qian Xunfeng wrapped Ah Yin in his arms. His main purpose in coming this time was to obtain the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and turn Ah Yin into a true human.

"I do."

Ah Yin seemed to think of something and made a somewhat awkward request.

"Xunfeng, can I bring the Blue Silver Grass from the Blue Silver Forest here? This place is very suitable for their cultivation, and as the Blue Silver Emperor, I haven't done anything for them."

"As for that, I'll have them transplanted here later."

Qian Xunfeng was quite generous and did not mind at all. Of course, he certainly could not bring those Blue Silver Grasses over right now. At the very least, he had to wait until he had accomplished his goal.

"Thank you, Xunfeng."

Ah Yin gazed devotedly at Qian Xunfeng's handsome face. His gentle and refined temperament captivated her, as though Qian Xunfeng were the one she would love for all eternity.

Ever since their first meeting, Ah Yin had been curious about Qian Xunfeng, her savior. It was the first time she had met a man who had no interest in a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast.

Over the following year of traveling together, Ah Yin had gradually realized that she had come to like Qian Xunfeng. Half a year ago, they had confessed their feelings to each other and officially begun a relationship.

"Come with me, Ah Yin."

Qian Xunfeng brought Ah Yin before the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Xunfeng, what kind of flower is this? It's so beautiful."

As the Blue Silver Emperor, Ah Yin seemed to have a special feeling toward the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"This is the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the legendary flower of pure love. Only someone utterly sincere and devoted in love can pluck it."

"Ah Yin, try to see if you can pluck it. After consuming it, not only can you conceal your Soul Beast aura, but it can also turn you into a true human."

Hearing of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red's wondrous effects, Ah Yin slowly stepped before the flower and dripped a drop of heart's blood onto it.

Upon coming into contact with Ah Yin's heart's blood, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red released waves of faint fragrance as red light flickered around it. When the red glow faded, the Lovesick Heartbreak Red slowly rose into the air and landed in Ah Yin's hand.

"Xunfeng, I plucked it."

Ah Yin looked at Qian Xunfeng with her lively azure eyes, displaying the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hand to him like a little girl.

"Consume it. In a few days, I'll take you back to Spirit Hall."

Rubbing Ah Yin's little face, Qian Xunfeng spoke indulgently.

"Alright, refine it first."

Being able to pluck the Lovesick Heartbreak Red already proved that Ah Yin was wholeheartedly devoted to him. Since she was his woman, he naturally had to spoil her.

"Mm."

Ah Yin shyly absorbed the Lovesick Heartbreak Red. A red glow spread across her body as her Soul Power continuously increased. In the end, she leaped straight to rank seventy, becoming a Spirit Saint. With the help of the Lovesick Heartbreak Red and Order Divine Power, she successfully condensed a Hundred-Thousand-Year seventh Soul Ring from the Lovesick Heartbreak Red.

"Xunfeng, I've broken through to rank seventy."

Ah Yin's face filled with delight as she leaped into Qian Xunfeng's arms, constantly pressing her full breasts against him. A somewhat shameful thought arose in her heart. Now that she had become human, she could be with Xunfeng... hehe.

"Once I help Dugu Bo deal with his martial soul poison, we can return to Spirit Hall."

Now that Ah Yin had the Lovesick Heartbreak Red concealing her aura, coupled with his Order Divine Power, unless the old man directly reached rank one hundred and became a god, he would never see through Ah Yin's identity.

"Xunfeng."

"Ah Yin."

The two gazed at each other lovingly, an indescribable feeling welling up in both their hearts, as though their love had reached its ultimate sublimation at that very moment.

Just as their feelings rapidly heated up and they were preparing to take things further, an ill-timed voice suddenly shattered the peace.

"Your Excellency the Pope, please save my daughter-in-law!"

Dugu Bo flew directly before Qian Xunfeng. Seeing the two quickly separate with flushed faces, he inwardly cried out in alarm.

It's over. It looks like I ruined something!

"Ahem, hurry and let me take a look at her."

Qian Xunfeng coughed awkwardly a few times and changed the subject.

"Oh, right."

Dugu Bo took out the Ruyi Hundred Treasures Pouch and gently placed a pregnant woman with light green hair, along with a green-haired man caring for her, on the ground.

Clearly, because she was carrying Dugu Tian's child, the pregnant woman had accumulated a great deal more poison in her body.

But it was merely ordinary poison in the end. With a casual wave of Qian Xunfeng's hand, the poisonous energy within the originally frail woman's body was instantly washed away.

"Qiu Yan, it's all my fault. I insisted on making you bear an heir for my Dugu Family."

As Qiu Yan's husband, Dugu Tian naturally sensed that the poison accumulated in her body had completely vanished. While overjoyed, he was also filled with guilt toward her.

"Brother Tian, I also hoped that we could have a child."

Seeing Dugu Tian blaming himself, Qiu Yan did not resent him. She and Dugu Tian had been childhood sweethearts, innocent companions since youth.

Ever since learning of the martial soul defect, he had not touched her for over thirty years. Yet she also wanted a child, so she had told Dugu Tian not to worry. She had no regrets.

"Yan'er."

"Brother Tian."

The two looked deeply into each other's eyes, giving Qian Xunfeng and Ah Yin an inexplicable sense of déjà vu.

"Ahem, next, I'll help you resolve your martial soul defect."

Apparently dissatisfied that Dugu Bo had interrupted his flirting with Ah Yin, Qian Xunfeng interrupted Dugu Tian and Qiu Yan's loving gaze as well.

"May I ask how Your Excellency the Pope intends to remove our martial soul defect?"

Dugu Bo was also extremely curious about how Qian Xunfeng would solve the martial soul defect that the Dugu Family had been unable to resolve for hundreds of years.

Qian Xunfeng mobilized his Order Divine Power and pointed at Dugu Bo through the air.

The still-confused Dugu Bo immediately felt an icy chill pierce his entire body, as though he were being torn apart and thrown into an ice cellar.

"Ah!"

Watching his father lie on the ground and cry out in agony, Dugu Tian's heart lurched. He looked at Qian Xunfeng with a puzzled expression, as though asking:

You won't torture my father to death, will you?

"Don't worry. Since Dugu Bo is a Titled Douluo, the transformation of his martial soul needs to affect the conversion of Soul Power throughout his entire body. Pain is unavoidable."

Having fused with ten percent of the Order Authority, he was now equivalent to a high-ranking Divine Official. He was merely using a small amount of divine power to slightly alter Dugu Bo's martial soul and see whether it would work.

"Hiss—"

After a long while, Dugu Bo suddenly sprang up. His originally dark green hair gradually faded, while waves of coldness emanated from his body.

The original Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor had also turned grayish-blue. An Inner Core capable of storing poison had appeared within his body. Clearly, his martial soul had successfully evolved, resolving its original flaw and even evolving its poison into Cold Poison.

Feeling the changes in himself, Dugu Bo's eyes brimmed with tears. The serpent poison that had tormented him for decades had disappeared so easily. Overwhelmed with gratitude, he directly knelt before Qian Xunfeng.

"I, Dugu Bo, have drifted through half my life, only regretting that I had not met a wise master sooner. Today, upon meeting Your Excellency the Pope, you seem like a god descended from the heavens, saving my Dugu Family from disaster. If Your Excellency the Pope does not disdain me, Dugu Bo is willing to serve you!"
