"You!"

Dugu Yan glared angrily at Li Yu, but there was nothing she could do about him.

Li Yu merely kept smiling at Dugu Yan, showing no intention of giving her an out.

Dugu Yan's chest rose and fell violently. She looked thoroughly enraged.

Only after a long while did her mood calm slightly.

"Where is my grandfather? I want to see him!"

"Where is your grandfather? You're asking me?"

Li Yu looked at Dugu Yan with amused disbelief.

Why did this girl look like she was about to go complain?

Then again, even if Dugu Bo learned of this, he would probably only find it amusing.

Li Yu was far too important to Dugu Bo now. Naturally, he would not hold such a trivial matter against him.

After watching Dugu Yan with a smile for a while, Li Yu lost interest as well.

He raised a hand and gave it a squeeze. When he opened it again, a Fire Bird had appeared in his palm.

It was Bi Fang.

Bi Fang was connected to Li Yu's mind. It flew up from his palm and directly transformed into a Big Bird over two meters away.

Li Yu simply grabbed Bi Fang's single leg and rode it toward the Wooden House atop the mountain.

Dugu Yan, who was standing nearby, stared wide-eyed at the sight.

"What kind of method is that? Could it be a spirit?"

She watched blankly as Li Yu held Bi Fang's single leg and approached the Wooden House, then landed steadily beside it.

Bi Fang dissipated, while Li Yu strode into the Wooden House.

"You!"

Only then did Dugu Yan come back to her senses. She immediately shouted, "That's my house!"

As she spoke, Soul Power surged through her body. She leaped forward, rapidly closing in on the Wooden House.

Naturally, Li Yu did not care what Dugu Yan did.

At that moment.

He had already entered the Wooden House.

The house was not large, only a dozen or so square meters at a glance, but it had all the necessary furniture and bedding.

Moreover, the Bed Sheet and quilt were both high-quality. If one only looked inside, one would never imagine that this place stood in a secluded forest cut off from the outside world.

"Still, why does this girl like purple so much?"

Li Yu muttered softly.

The Bed Sheet, quilt, carpet, and everything else before him were all purple!

Of course, there were slight variations among the different shades of purple.

And Dugu Yan herself—her hair, pupils, clothes, shoes... all of them were purple!

Was purple really that charming?

Li Yu shook his head, unable to understand.

But he did not need to understand.

Right now, he only felt exhausted all over.

He did not know about others, but since arriving in this world not long ago, he still had not gotten used to sitting cross-legged.

After spending the entire night like that, although his whole body had been in a state of being "baptized," and logically he should have been full of energy after his spirit had undergone some transformation—

He still felt exhausted.

He was not so particular about such things.

With a flick of his feet, he threw himself onto the Soft Bed and freely enjoyed the softness Dugu Yan had once had all to herself.

Thump!

"Huff... huff... huff!"

Dugu Yan covered her chest with one hand and braced herself against the doorframe with the other, panting as she looked into the room.

What she saw—

Li Yu was sprawled across the bed in the shape of a "big" character, completely motionless.

As though he had already passed away.

Dugu Yan ground her teeth furiously at the sight.

Ignoring everything else, she took two steps into the room and reached out to pull Li Yu up.

At the same time, she snapped, "Get up! This is my bed! Did I give you permission to sleep here?"

Li Yu did not move.

Fortunately, Dugu Yan was a woman. When facing another woman, especially outside of battle, she was not overly rough.

She reached out to grab Li Yu's hand.

The moment she grabbed it, Dugu Yan suddenly exerted force, intending to pull Li Yu up.

But just then.

Li Yu suddenly pulled hard.

"Ah!"

Since Dugu Yan had already been leaning forward while trying to pull Li Yu's hand, she immediately lost her balance. With a scream, she crashed onto the bed.

Li Yu instantly rolled over and pinned Dugu Yan down.

He looked at Dugu Yan with a smile. "What, Yan Yan? Do you want to sleep with Grandma?"

Dugu Yan looked at the breathtakingly beautiful face so close to hers. Her breathing caught slightly, and even some of the anger in her heart dissipated.

Her cheeks flushed faintly. She turned her head away, and her voice dropped.

"W-what are you doing!?"

"Hm?"

Li Yu feigned confusion. "What am I doing? Didn't you throw yourself at me?"

After a pause, he gave a wicked grin. "Does Yan Yan really want to sleep and rest with Grandma?"

"Y-you..."

Dugu Yan felt both ashamed and angry, but for the moment, she could not think of anything to say in rebuttal.

Because what Li Yu said was indeed true.

She really had thrown herself at him.

Only, she had done so to pull Li Yu up!

In her heart, this Wooden House belonged exclusively to her, and everything within it, especially the bed, was hers as well!

Naturally, she could not tolerate someone else encroaching upon it.

But now, as she felt the warmth and softness right before her nose, her heart wavered.

The woman before her—

Not only possessed such profound knowledge of Poison, but could also resolve the flaws of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Spirit!

And she had such peerless beauty. She did not seem like a bad person, either.

What was wrong with letting such a woman sleep on her bed for a while?

With that thought, the anger in Dugu Yan's heart had completely vanished. Even the strength with which she had instinctively resisted Li Yu faded away.

Naturally, Li Yu had no idea what Dugu Yan was thinking.

He was currently in Female Attire, so he naturally acted with fewer reservations.

He had merely wanted to tease Dugu Yan a little.

But seeing that Dugu Yan had gone still and was no longer resisting, the mischievous urge to tease her faded somewhat instead.

Still.

Their current position allowed him to feel all of Dugu Yan's warmth.

"Let go of me!"

At that moment, Dugu Yan suddenly spoke. Strength returned to the hand Li Yu had restrained.

She wanted to break free from Li Yu's hold.

Naturally, Li Yu would not let her succeed. Instead, her sudden resistance piqued his interest.

He pinned Dugu Yan down and said with a wicked smile, "What, do you think Grandma is so easy to bully? You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want?"

Dugu Yan was speechless.

This is my house!

How did it become me coming whenever I wanted?

And besides—

I was already willing to let you sleep in my house. What more do you want!

She immediately felt wronged.

"Let go!"

Dugu Yan spoke in a trembling voice, as though she would burst into tears the next second.

Li Yu froze.

Seriously?

She was already a Three-Ring Soul Grandmaster, yet she was still this prone to tears!

She could not even take a joke!

Such a crybaby!

He had already pasted that label onto Dugu Yan in his mind.

In his mind, a bed was just a bed. It was not some forbidden place.

And they were both women, so she should not have reacted so strongly.

Put simply, he was still viewing the situation from a man's perspective. He had not realized what everything in the house Dugu Yan had built with her own hands meant to her.

To Dugu Yan, this place was like her territory. It could not be violated.

Even Dugu Bo had only visited a few times.

Of course, Dugu Bo was her grandfather, so she would not have been so guarded against him.

When he entered, it was family returning home, not an intrusion.

But at that moment.

Li Yu's actions undoubtedly looked like an invasion to her!

And even so, she had already yielded, yet Li Yu was still "bullying" her.

Naturally, Dugu Yan felt wronged.

Unfortunately.

Li Yu did not understand what Dugu Yan was thinking.

After thinking for a moment.

"Could it be that she was tired from rushing back from so far away and wanted to rest too?"

Li Yu muttered to himself, and then his eyes lit up.

If that was the case, then this was easy!

If she was tired, then she was tired!

If she wanted to rest, then she should rest!

What was the big deal?

The bed was so big. It was not like the two of them could not fit!

Thinking that he had understood everything, Li Yu thoughtfully raised his foot and kicked off Dugu Yan's shoes.

Then he wrapped them both in the blanket, "protecting" them together beneath it.

Afterward, he did not forget to comfort her thoughtfully.

"Forgot to tell you, this young lady is the Crown Prince Consort of Heaven Dou!

You know the Crown Prince of Heaven Dou, right?

Yes, that Xue Qinghe!

So you don't need to worry. I won't really become your grandmother. A young beauty like me wouldn't be interested in that old fellow either.

All right, all right, stop crying. This young lady won't dislike you, so you don't need to be this moved!"

Li Yu comforted her on his own, then added at the end:

"The bed is so big. It's not like we can't both fit, so why insist on driving me away?"
