Dugu Xin and Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo Wanted to Marry Off His Granddaughter!

"Not bad. This kind of group control was something only a Soul King-level Control-type Soul Master could possess."

"I never expected your Fourth Soul Skill, Xue'er, to have such an effect, and over such a wide range."

"With even the slightest carelessness, one would be imprisoned by you and become completely at your mercy."

"It truly deserved to be a Soul Skill provided by a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Beast. It was genuinely surprising."

The most satisfied of all was naturally Qian Daoliu, her grandpa.

After all, the stronger Qian Renxue became, the more likely she would be to attract the Angel God's attention. That would also be highly beneficial for her future God Trial.

Upon hearing Qian Daoliu's praise, Qian Renxue's smile became even brighter.

Of course, she had not forgotten who had made it possible for her to absorb this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.

"Hehe, Grandpa, don't forget that I couldn't have absorbed this Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring without Lin Du's help."

"What else do you plan to reward him with?"

Qian Renxue looked at her grandpa, wanting to ask for a reward on Lin Du's behalf.

"What else should I reward Du'er with? Haven't I already given him the most precious thing?"

Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, his tranquil smile carrying a hint of deeper meaning.

"What do you mean, the most precious thing? How could I..."

Qian Renxue suddenly understood, and her pretty face immediately flushed red.

She cast Lin Du a shy glance. She said nothing, yet it seemed she had said everything.

After helping Qian Renxue obtain her Fourth Spirit Ring, their trip to the Star Dou Great Forest finally came to a complete end.

The group headed to Heaven Dou City together and picked up Dugu Bo's family.

Lin Du finally met Dugu Xin, a character who had never appeared in the original work—Dugu Bo's son and Dugu Yan's father.

He had the same dark green hair as Dugu Bo, though his was cut into a more capable-looking short style.

His face was pale, his eye sockets sunken, and his lips carried an unhealthy dark green tint.

His aura was extremely weak. He looked like a terminally ill patient who might breathe his last at any moment.

Meanwhile, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, was already ten years old and had grown into a graceful young girl.

She had short deep purple hair and the same heroic air as Qian Renxue.

She could not be called breathtakingly beautiful, but she possessed a bewitching sort of charm.

Her green eyes swept across Lin Du and the others, carrying a hint of scrutiny and curiosity.

"Father."

Dugu Xin struggled to sit up, seemingly intending to greet Dugu Bo.

"You should lie down properly, Xin'er. But don't worry."

"With Du... with Young Friend Du's help, I have already learned how to resolve the Martial Soul poison of our Dugu family."

"You'll be healthy again very soon."

Dugu Bo hurried forward and pressed Dugu Xin back down. With joy on his face, he told him all the good news.

"Really, Grandpa? Father can be saved?!"

Upon hearing her grandpa's words, delight appeared on Dugu Yan's heroic face.

"Why would I joke about something like this? Yan Er, Grandpa came here this time not only to tell you this good news."

"I also intend to take our whole family to live in Spirit City. Your father has trouble moving around, and Grandpa needs to stay by his side and care for him."

"I also need to deal with some matters in Heaven Dou City, which may delay us for some time."

"As for you, go to Spirit City first with the Angel Douluo and Young Friend Du. Young Friend Du knows how to treat Azure Phosphorus Snake Poison."

"You can begin your treatment ahead of time."

As Dugu Bo nodded in confirmation to Dugu Yan, he also arranged for her to head to Spirit City with Lin Du and the others first.

"Grandpa, I want to go with you..."

Although she was grateful to Lin Du for resolving the Martial Soul poison that plagued her family, to Dugu Yan—

Lin Du was still a stranger she had only just met, so she instinctively wanted to leave with her family.

"Be good, Yan Er. Young Friend Du is a very fine person. The two of you will definitely get along well."

Dugu Bo still wanted to bring his granddaughter and Lin Du together. That had been his intention in having her leave with Lin Du's group first.

Thus, he immediately rejected Dugu Yan's request, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Alright..."

Dugu Yan pursed her lips, but ultimately nodded in agreement.

For some reason, Lin Du felt that Dugu Bo's words carried some hidden meaning.

However, he did not think too deeply about it. He only assumed that Dugu Bo felt sorry for his granddaughter and wanted her to escape the torment of Azure Phosphorus Snake Poison sooner.

Qian Daoliu naturally saw through it, but he still gave Dugu Bo some face.

Moreover, he had confidence in his own granddaughter, so he did not interfere.

In a sense, it could also be considered a kind of tacit acceptance.

However—

As they were about to leave, they encountered a small problem.

Dugu Bo wanted Lin Du to take his granddaughter along, thereby strengthening the connection between the two.

But Dugu Yan preferred to have Qian Renxue, a girl her own age, take her along.

And Qian Renxue preferred staying with Lin Du.

Thus, a subtle triangular relationship formed among the three of them.

Qian Daoliu also wanted to see how Lin Du would handle it, so he simply allowed events to unfold.

In the end, Lin Du came up with a solution that satisfied everyone: he summoned the Phoenix Dragon God.

Then he had the two girls sit on the Dragon God's shoulders.

Dugu Bo highly approved of Lin Du's even-handed arrangement.

Although Qian Daoliu was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not say anything.

Very soon—

Under Dugu Yan's astonished gaze, two purple Spirit Rings emerged around Lin Du.

At the same time, he summoned the Dragon God and used the power of the Phoenix of Flame to transform it into the Phoenix Dragon God.

As she watched the Phoenix Dragon God gleam with orange-gold light beneath the sun, Dugu Yan, seeing such a miraculous Martial Soul for the first time, could not help but feel shocked.

The Phoenix Dragon God's noble and elegant frame especially made her eyes shine, and she fell completely in love with it.

Before long—

The Explosive Flame Wings behind the Phoenix Dragon God trembled lightly, turning into orange-gold light as it shot into the sky alongside Qian Daoliu, flying toward Spirit City.

After the others left, Dugu Bo looked at his son.

"Xin'er, what do you think of Young Friend Du?"

"Though this is only our first meeting, judging from Father's attitude toward Young Friend Lin Du, he must be extraordinary."

"Besides, although I do not recognize Young Friend Lin Du's Martial Soul, I could clearly see those two purple Spirit Rings."

"So young, yet already a Two-Ringed Soul Grand Master, and both Spirit Rings are Thousand Year ones."

"I believe Young Friend Lin Du has the bearing of a Title Douluo!"

Dugu Xin's emerald green eyes were somewhat dim, but that could not conceal the admiration and disbelief within them.

"What do you think about giving Yan Er to Young Friend Du in marriage?"
