Old Ye was completely dumbfounded!
What?!
What was going on here?
Wife, why did you actually stop?
If you did this, it would make me look really stupid.
Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling were also utterly stunned by what was happening before them.
Their faces were filled with disbelief.
Yet Mu Qingyu paid no attention to any of this.
Instead, she stared fixedly at Gu Changge. "Bai Suzhen really isn't dead?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Gu Changge nodded decisively. "Not only is Bai Suzhen alive, but her child with Xu Xian is alive too. The child is named Xu Shilin, the reincarnation of Wenqu Star from the God Realm—the god who governs wisdom and knowledge."
"With the child elevating the mother's status, that bald old Fahai could only suppress her; he couldn't kill her!"
"After Xu Shilin was born, he would rely on his own wisdom and knowledge to grow rapidly and rise to prominence."
"In the end, he would win the [Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament Championship] and soar to greatness. At just thirty years old, he would cultivate to the Title Douluo realm, awaken his divine spark, and ascend to godhood once more!"
"Afterward, Xu Shilin would topple Leifeng Pagoda and rescue Bai Suzhen. Finally, he would ascend to the God Realm with Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian, where they would live carefree lives from then on!"
Drawing upon his formidable ability to improvise, Gu Changge quickly recounted the plot he had cut out, while also adapting it to the local setting.
Mu Qingyu asked after hearing it all, "Is that true?"
Gu Changge hurriedly nodded. "It's true!"
"Did you bring the rest of the story?"
Mu Qingyu released Gu Changge and withdrew her hand.
"I did. I've kept it on me the whole time. I came here today specifically to give the rest of the story to you, Auntie!"
Gu Changge swiftly took a book from his Storage Soul Tool.
Its title read [Douluo: Spirit Eye Legend].
That was right!
Gu Changge was not only a plagiarist, but also a patchworker.
He had directly transplanted Huo Gua's story onto Xu Shilin.
As for why he had done this—
It was because giving those three ultra-healing novels to his novel-obsessed mother-in-law had been an impulsive act.
He had regretted it afterward.
After all, if he accidentally pushed his mother-in-law's emotions over the edge, wouldn't he be finished?
So he had rushed to find a remedy.
And thus, this transplanted version of [Douluo: Spirit Eye Legend] had come into being.
Now, seeing his mother-in-law Mu Qingyu eagerly begin reading [Spirit Eye Legend] the instant she took it, he secretly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
Thankfully, he had prepared in advance.
Otherwise, he would have taken this beating for real today.
Gu Changge had managed to avoid a severe beating through his preparations.
But Old Ye put on a pained expression.
What?!
She really wasn't going to hit him anymore?
All the experience I've accumulated over the years—
Was it all for nothing?
Old Ye was furious. Old Ye was deeply displeased.
Suddenly, Mu Qingyu withdrew her gaze from [Spirit Eye Legend].
She put the book into her Storage Soul Tool.
Old Ye was overjoyed.
Sure enough, there was no way his wife could be won over that easily.
Want to avoid this beating? Dream on.
As he thought this, he gave Gu Changge a look that said, You're finished, kid.
But the next second, that expression froze on his face.
Because after Mu Qingyu withdrew her smile, she did not mention pursuing the matter with Gu Changge any further.
Instead, she bowed to Dugu Bo. "Greetings, Uncle. Sorry to have made you laugh."
Dugu Bo waved a hand. "It's nothing. That brat deserved a beating!"
"Then please come inside, Uncle."
Mu Qingyu gestured for everyone to enter.
No one paid any attention to Comrade Old Ye's miserable expression.
Soon, the group entered the house.
Only to find that the living room looked as if it had been bombarded, with scorched black marks everywhere.
Mu Qingyu looked a little embarrassed. "I lost control of my emotions for a moment while reading the novel that brat sent over earlier."
With that, she turned and glared at Gu Changge.
Dugu Bo said, "Understandable! But although your martial soul is somewhat related to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, its bloodline origin is ultimately rather thin. On top of that, it possesses lightning, an attribute of utmost yang and force. If you want to fully master it, you'll need to put in serious effort toward your temperament and control over Soul Power!"
Faced with Dugu Bo's guidance, Mu Qingyu listened attentively before nodding.
In this era of cultivation, which was practically barbaric in Douluo One, the experience accumulated by any powerhouse who had reached the level of a Title Douluo was the most precious of treasures.
"Enough, let's not talk about that!"
Dugu Bo did not continue dwelling on the subject. "I came here today to settle the matter concerning these three children!"
"Little Ye, Little Mu, you aren't outsiders. I won't beat around the bush with you."
"What happened before was my fault. I put the two of you in a difficult position!"
"I offer you both my apologies first."
Dugu Bo's way of doing things was completely different from other Title Douluos.
He acted entirely according to his own preferences and did not care in the slightest about the so-called dignity of a Title Douluo.
Thus, without the slightest hesitation, he cupped his hands and bowed to Mu Qingyu and Ye Guanlan.
Ye Guanlan and Mu Qingyu were startled.
They hurriedly stepped forward to support Dugu Bo, not daring to accept his bow.
"Uncle, what are you doing? How can an elder bow to juniors? Aren't you slapping us husband and wife in the face?"
Ye Guanlan truly could not keep himself together after Dugu Bo's move.
Although the Ye Family and the Dugu Family had not known each other for long, Dugu Bo and Ye Guanlan's father had shared a true life-and-death friendship.
Before Ye Guanlan's father passed away, he had first asked Dugu Bo to look after Ye Guanlan and his wife, who had only recently married and were still merely Soul Kings.
Second, he had regretted being unable to neutralize the Jade Phosphor Serpent Venom and save Dugu Yan's parents.
That was precisely why they addressed Dugu Bo as Uncle.
So at this moment, they truly did not dare accept Dugu Bo's bow.
"One matter is one matter!"
But Dugu Bo did not care about any of that. "Since I did something that put you two in a difficult position, I must give you an explanation!"
"Difficult? What difficulty is there?"
Ye Guanlan smiled bitterly. "If anyone is making things difficult, it's you, Uncle, making things difficult for us here. Please stop this. We truly can't accept such a grand gesture from you!"
"As for Lingling, with that temperament of hers, we can only talk about it. How could we possibly stop her?"
Ye Lingling had inherited Mu Qingyu's temperament.
Once she had set her mind on something, she would never change it no matter what.
Hearing Ye Guanlan's bitter words, Gu Changge, Ye Lingling, and Dugu Yan exchanged smiles. Everything was understood without a word.
Dugu Bo and Ye Guanlan and his wife went back and forth for several rounds.
Seeing that they were absolutely determined not to accept his bow, he finally gave up.
Then he turned to Gu Changge. "Since that's the case, it's your turn now, brat. Explain to me exactly what's going on with you?"
