Still Likes Teasing People at His Age

Hearing Dugu Bo's absurd logic, Dugu Yan could not help lightly smacking him.

"Grandpa, don't teach Weiyang nonsense here."

Teaching Ning Weiyang his own methods word for word—if Ning Weiyang really did as he said, she probably would not live past tomorrow.

Dugu Yan lightly furrowed her brows, clearly disagreeing with Dugu Bo's words.

"Alright, alright, I won't say any more."

Dugu Bo shrugged helplessly.

Sensing that Dugu Yan was a little angry, he obediently shut his mouth.

Dugu Yan was his only living relative. He had always indulged her.

"Weiyang, don't listen to Grandpa. He's just talking nonsense."

Dugu Yan explained to Ning Weiyang.

Naturally, Ning Weiyang would not take Dugu Bo's words seriously.

She still wanted to live a little longer.

A smile spread across Ning Weiyang's face, and she nodded obediently. "Mm-hm, Sister Yanzi, I know!"

"Here, take it."

Dugu Bo held the Nine-Section Jade Serpent out before Ning Weiyang.

Ning Weiyang was still somewhat afraid.

The snake was indeed highly venomous. She was truly afraid it would give her a bite.

Seeing Ning Weiyang hesitate, Dugu Bo directly commanded the Nine-Section Jade Serpent to fly onto her shoulder.

Ning Weiyang's face turned pale, and she stood frozen in place, not daring to move at all.

Dugu Bo smiled.

He seemed to be teasing Ning Weiyang.

Seeing her expression, the smile on his face only grew wider.

"S-Sister Yanzi."

Ning Weiyang nervously swallowed, her lowered gaze following the movements of the Nine-Section Jade Serpent.

Dugu Yan shot Dugu Bo a somewhat reproachful look. "Grandpa."

Why were you still scaring a little girl?

"Hahaha!"

Dugu Bo threw his head back and laughed.

Then, he explained, "Don't worry, Yanyan. This Nine-Section Jade Serpent won't bite people casually. Though this little girl seems quite afraid of snakes?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Dugu Yan stepped forward and grabbed the Nine-Section Jade Serpent off Ning Weiyang. Concerned, she asked, "Weiyang, are you alright?"

"I'm fine, I'm fine."

Only then did Ning Weiyang let out a sigh of relief.

Dugu Yan had not expected her grandfather to suddenly feel like teasing someone. She looked at Ning Weiyang apologetically and said, "Weiyang, sorry. Grandpa isn't usually like this."

"No pwoblem, no pwoblem."

Ning Weiyang soothed her little heart as she assured Dugu Yan that it was fine.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo could not help moving between the two of them and saying, "If you have a Storage Spirit Tool that can store living creatures, you won't need to keep it on your body. Little girl, do you have one?"

A Soul Tool that could store living creatures?

Ning Weiyang instinctively glanced at the sachet hanging from her waist.

She did not know whether hers could store living creatures.

Following her gaze, Dugu Bo reached out and touched Ning Weiyang's sachet.

"Hmm? This is something exclusively used by the Heaven Dou Royal Family. How do you have it?"

With just a casual touch, Dugu Bo sensed the sachet's secrets.

"Ah... this..."

Ning Weiyang had not expected this item to be exclusively for the royal family.

She had thought Xue Qinghe had deliberately bought her a Peony Flower sachet as a gift.

Ning Weiyang took off the sachet and examined it. "His Highness the Crown Prince gave this to me."

"The Crown Prince?"

A sharp glint suddenly flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

Apparently, Dugu Yan was only learning this now as well.

Ning Weiyang hurriedly explained, "Oh, Uncle Meng Shenji gave this to me. He said it was bestowed by His Highness the Crown Prince and told me not to let down His Highness's goodwill, so I accepted it."
