"Eat it."
Fu Ye took a fist-sized golden melon from the system space and placed it before Dugu Yan.
"No!"
Dugu Yan was very stubborn, and her grandfather had told her that most of the herbs here were poisonous and couldn't be eaten!
"I'll count to three. If you still won't eat it, I'll have to use force."
The younger one was when they consumed immortal herbs, the better the effects would be.
Since she refused to appreciate it, he had no choice but to use force.
"Three."
"I won't eat it!"
"Two."
"I said I won't eat it!"
"One."
"I won't eat it, won't eat it!"
"Zero."
"I won't—mmph, gulp~~"
The Golden Dragon Sweet Potato worked best when swallowed whole in one go. Fu Ye directly wrapped it in Soul Power, crushed it into powder, and sent it into Dugu Yan's mouth.
Dugu Yan only felt as though she were drinking water as the powdered golden melon rushed into her body.
"Mmph... my body feels so hot..."
In merely an instant, the immortal herb's medicinal effects kicked in.
Dugu Yan felt as though she were standing beside a steaming furnace, her entire body enveloped by dense heat.
Yet in Fu Ye's eyes, the scene looked entirely different.
An illusory golden dragon coiled around Dugu Yan's brow, while her Martial Soul began to undergo a transformation. Perhaps because she had only just awakened her Martial Soul and had yet to absorb a soul ring, the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato caused an enormous evolution in it.
Meanwhile, after capturing a four-hundred-year-old Black Scaled Python, Dugu Bo returned to his apothecary.
But the moment he stepped into the Herb Garden, he realized something was wrong. In such a short time, more than half of his herbs had vanished.
"Oh no! Yan Yan!"
When he rushed anxiously toward the very center of the apothecary, he saw a scene that filled him with rage.
"Brat! Die!"
Hm? Dugu Bo's voice?
"Boom!"
A massive serpent tail whipped toward Fu Ye, kicking up clouds of dust.
The surrounding ground was partly destroyed by Dugu Bo's attack, and even the waters of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well seemed to wail from the violent tremors.
"Boom!"
Amid the dust, an even fiercer and more domineering force nearly overturned the entire Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
As the dust settled, Dugu Bo was already sprawled on the ground, his whole body convulsing, while Fu Ye's fist hovered before his chest.
The recoil from that single blow had instantly drained every bit of strength from Dugu Bo's body!
"Behave yourself. Next time, I won't hold back."
Fu Ye did not pay much attention to Dugu Bo. Fortunately, he had just cast a barrier to protect Dugu Yan. Otherwise, if her absorption of the immortal herb had been interrupted, its effects would have been greatly reduced.
Dugu Yan's Martial Soul was the Jade Phosphor Serpent. Its current direction of evolution was not toward the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor like Dugu Bo's, but directly toward a dragon.
Although the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was a plant-type immortal herb, it contained a large amount of dragon aura and a pure true dragon bloodline. To the current Dugu Yan, it was an incredible tonic.
This immortal herb was highly compatible with Dugu Yan. Raising the quality of her Martial Soul directly to that of a true dragon was obviously unrealistic, but elevating it into a top-tier subdragon Martial Soul was more than possible.
After all, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Martial Soul was already a Super Spirit capable of cultivating to the level of a Titled Douluo. After evolving, its quality likely would not be much weaker than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul.
As for the immortal herb he would give Dugu Bo, Fu Ye had long since decided on one. It would just depend on whether this old man knew how to behave.
"Who are you?! What exactly did you do to my granddaughter?!"
Although Dugu Bo no longer had the strength to resist, he still stubbornly questioned Fu Ye. In Fu Ye's view, he simply had not been beaten enough.
"I'll give you thirty seconds to reconsider your wording. Otherwise, I'm afraid I might really kill you later."
Wasn't the situation obvious at a glance? Was the surging aura around his granddaughter fake? He had gotten a huge benefit yet was still putting on airs here. Was he asking for another beating?
"I..."
Dugu Bo wanted to speak but stopped himself. He feared that the terrifyingly powerful young man before him might truly harm his granddaughter, so he did not dare utter another word.
Very soon, the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was completely absorbed by Dugu Yan, this little girl. As the power within her erupted, Dugu Bo could clearly sense that his granddaughter's Martial Soul had undergone a beneficial mutation!
Little Dugu Yan opened her bright eyes. Yet when she saw Dugu Bo lying beside Fu Ye, she actually roared angrily at Fu Ye.
"You bad guy! Let Grandpa go!"
("▔□▔)
Putting everything else aside, an angry six-year-old girl really did look adorably fierce. It was enough to melt anyone's heart, wasn't it!?
"Bang!"
Without hesitation, Fu Ye stomped Dugu Bo's head into the ground, then looked at the little girl threatening him with an easy smile.
"Call me something nice. If you make me happy, I'll let your grandfather go."
Dugu Bo, with his head buried in the ground: What the f@@¥#@¥@¥@#¥@!
"Grandpa!"
When Dugu Yan saw her grandfather's head being stomped into the ground, she knew she was absolutely no match for this handsome man who had forced her to eat the melon.
"Yan Yan, Grandpa, I'm fi—"
"Bang!"
Since he had not heard what he wanted to hear, Fu Ye stomped on Dugu Bo's face again. This time, his head went even deeper.
"Hurry up and call me something nice, or your grandfather might suffocate to death in a moment."
Little Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather buried deep in the mud, then at Fu Ye, who was stepping on him. In the end, she made up her mind!
For Grandpa's sake, Dugu Yan would go all out!
"Husband! I'll go with you and be your little wife! Now hurry up and let Grandpa go!"
Fu Ye: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Dugu Bo: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Police: ▄︻┻┳═一... w(Д)w
The silence between the two was deafening. Not only Dugu Bo, but even Fu Ye, who had seen and experienced much, was stunned into silence by the words of Dugu Yan, who had just turned six.
No, was that really something a six- or seven-year-old girl could say?
With that thought, Fu Ye directly yanked Dugu Bo's head out of the ground.
Seeing his face covered in dirt, Fu Ye endured the grime and slapped him across the face.
"Slap!"
The slap rang out sharply, yet even so, Dugu Bo had not recovered from what his granddaughter had just said.
"Slap!"
Another slap. This one finally brought Dugu Bo back to his senses.
"What are you doing~?!"
Dugu Bo felt as though his mind were twisted into a knot, while Fu Ye held back the urge to slap him a third time and said earnestly.
"What did you teach this little girl as her grandfather? Is that something she should be saying at her age?"
After hearing Fu Ye's words, Dugu Bo felt as though he had completely lost face. Just then, Dugu Yan said something shocking again.
"Hey! I already called you husband and agreed to be your little wife, so why are you still hitting my grandfather?!"
