Dugu Yan's Kiss, the System's Reward

Dugu Bo was equally shaken. He had never heard of anyone directly using Ice and Fire Power to refine their body. The danger was self-evident, yet Xu Fan had not only done it, but seemed to be handling it with ease...

Zhu Zhuqing stood quietly to the side. She said nothing, but her heart was far from calm.

First, she was worried about Xu Fan's safety. Second, she deeply admired him. Even approaching the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, she could sense how dangerous this place was, yet he had actually dared to go in.

Just as the three of them held their breath and watched, Xu Fan suddenly opened his eyes within the spring.

An Ice Flower spun in his left pupil, while Flames danced in his right.

One ice, one fire—two completely opposing phenomena appeared within his pupils, delivering a terrifying visual impact.

Dugu Yan sucked in a sharp breath and instinctively stepped back half a pace.

She did not know why she had stepped back, either.

The next moment, the Flames and Ice Flower in Xu Fan's eyes vanished.

The energy that caused Palpitations was also completely absorbed by Xu Fan.

Xu Fan slowly rose to his feet.

The clothes on his body had long been reduced to ash by the Ice and Fire Power, but a faint, lustrous jade-like sheen now covered his skin, and his muscle lines were smooth and perfect.

Ice-Fire Body Refining, complete.

Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes nearly froze at the same time, their pupils then slightly widening.

"Ah!"

Dugu Yan cried out. Her Pretty Face instantly turned crimson, and she immediately averted her gaze and spun around in a panic, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

Though she was straightforward by nature and not the coy sort, Xu Fan's body really was incredible.

It was probably the result of the Martial God Physique and body refinement.

Almost at the same moment, two rare blushes rose on Zhu Zhuqing's face. Though they were not as obvious as Dugu Yan's, they were still clearly visible upon her fair Cheeks.

She turned around as if by instinct.

The two girls turning in unison with their backs to the Spring Water was remarkably coordinated.

"Cough!" Dugu Bo, standing nearby, was also stunned for a moment. Then he laughed and scolded without restraint, "Brat, what are you staring at? Hurry up and put some clothes on! What kind of sight is this?"

"Uh... sorry!" Xu Fan was a little embarrassed as well. His perfect body had just been seen by others.

He could not worry about appearances anymore and hurriedly pulled on his clothes as fast as he could.

"Cough... all right."

Only then did Dugu Yan and Zhu Zhuqing slowly turn back around.

When they looked at Xu Fan, they were still somewhat shy.

The atmosphere became awkwardly strange for a moment.

Seeing this, Xu Fan asked, "Senior Dugu, how did taking the Immortal Herbs go?"

The effects on himself were excellent. At the very least, he could now absorb a Soul Ring of just over Twenty Thousand Years.

Moreover, the effects of Ice-Fire Body Refining would continue to slowly strengthen his body in the future.

The effects were simply too good; he could not digest them all at once.

At the mention of Immortal Herbs, Dugu Bo's face lit up with excitement. "Xu Fan, I have to say, the Immortal Herb you chose for me was truly excellent. Just look at my hair and you will know that my toxins have been dealt with.

"And I have become much stronger. I am still a level ninety-four Title Douluo. In the future, I will become a Super Douluo. I still have to thank you for the Immortal Herb."

"Not at all. That was your Immortal Herb." Xu Fan smiled.

The friendship of a Title Douluo was certainly worth having. Besides, Dugu Bo was not truly a bad person; his personality was merely a little strange.

"And you two?" Xu Fan looked toward Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan.

The smile on Dugu Yan's face was impossible to hide. "I did even better than my grandfather. I am already level forty now. If I could obtain a Soul Ring, I would probably rise several more levels immediately."

"I gained both abilities you mentioned."

As she spoke, Dugu Yan's purple eyes changed into jade Vertical Pupils. These were the Jade Dragon Eyes.

"Thank you, Xu Fan."

As Dugu Yan's words fell, she moved.

With a light push from her feet, the young girl threw herself straight at Xu Fan.

Xu Fan had no time to react. He only felt a soft, warm body carrying a fragrant breeze crash into his embrace.

Then, warmth and softness touched his lips.

Xu Fan's pupils widened slightly, and his mind went blank.

He had been kissed—and he had been completely passive!

The sensation on his lips was incomparably clear, and he could even feel Dugu Yan's hurried breathing.

Zhu Zhuqing stared blankly at the Two people, utterly motionless.

Raging Waves surged through her heart.

Dugu Bo's eyes widened, and his mouth unconsciously fell slightly open.

Watching his granddaughter's bold and reckless action, his mind also suffered a rare, brief shutdown.

Th-This was moving way too fast, wasn't it?!

That girl Yanyan!

Still, Xu Fan was far more outstanding than that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan.

Since that was the case, Dugu Bo did not dwell on it any further.

The kiss was brief, as light as a dragonfly touching water.

The instant Dugu Yan kissed him, she was actually stunned herself. It had been entirely driven by impulse.

In the next moment, she jumped backward, her Pretty Face red as though it were about to drip blood.

She did not dare look at Xu Fan, much less at her grandfather or Zhu Zhuqing. She stood there at a loss, her head lowered.

"Cough, cough! Yanyan! You... you little girl! What nonsense are you causing?" Dugu Bo broke the strange atmosphere.

"Um... Yanyan Sister, you..." Xu Fan did not know what to say.

Even if the story was written this way, I was still just a virgin...

Dugu Yan lowered her head even further, her voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz. "I... I was just... too happy... Thank you for the Immortal Herb... I... I did not mean to."

"It is fine." Xu Fan could not really say anything. No matter how one looked at it, he had not suffered a loss.

But the next moment—

Zhu Zhuqing and Dugu Yan both raised their heads and looked at each other, each seeing the shock in the other's eyes.

[Dugu Yan completed a Hidden Quest and received a reward: the Lifespan of all Soul Rings increased by Thousand years (Soul Rings obtained in the future will receive the same bonus).]

This was not something only Dugu Yan could see. Even Zhu Zhuqing, Ye Lingling, and the others could see it.

For a moment, The women were all stunned.

Spirit Hall.

"Eh? Teacher, isn't Dugu Yan Dugu Bo's granddaughter?" Hu Liena asked.

"Yes." Bibi Dong nodded.

Ling Yuan was somewhat curious. "What quest did Dugu Yan complete? It actually adds a Thousand years to every Soul Ring's Lifespan. Wouldn't that mean even her weakest Soul Ring could be a Thousand-year one?"

"That is amazing." Hu Liena was envious. "If that is the case, the first four Soul Rings would receive a substantial boost. Especially since the First and Second Soul Rings could both become Thousand-year Soul Rings."

"Teacher, I think we need to find Xu Fan quickly. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes belong to Dugu Bo, so Dugu Yan must have met Xu Fan. Otherwise, she would not have completed a Hidden Quest." Hu Liena grew anxious.

Bibi Dong's Eyebrows drew together. She also wanted that reward, but she could hardly go out personally, could she?

However, Bibi Dong did not sit back and wait this time. "In that case, Nana, go to Heaven Dou City with Ling Yuan. Once Xu Fan leaves the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Eyes, he will go to Heaven Dou City."

"That is wonderful, Teacher!" Hu Liena jumped up directly.

Ling Yuan was also delighted.

If she encountered Xu Fan, perhaps she could become an Ultimate Douluo in the future.
