Tang Hao: Ah Yin, where did my Ah Yin go!

Dugu Yan extended a finger and lightly tapped Ye Qingzhou on the shoulder.

Feeling someone touch his shoulder, Ye Qingzhou instinctively turned his head to look, but Dugu Yan seized the opportunity to slip around in the direction he was turning.

Having turned around, Ye Qingzhou did not find anyone there.

"Strange."

Looking at the empty space behind him, he had clearly felt something touching his shoulder.

Ye Qingzhou turned back around, looking with satisfaction at the Blue Silver Grass now planted within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

He took a water-filled kettle from the Soul Tool storage on his person and began to water the newly planted Blue Silver Grass.

As he watered it, Ye Qingzhou once again felt something touching his shoulder.

He shook his head and sighed softly, though his hand did not stop the watering motion: "Sister Yan, stop playing around."

"I know it's you."

"Eh~ You guessed it that fast? No fun."

Dugu Yan, who had originally intended to tease Ye Qingzhou a few more times, approached him with a dejected expression.

Ye Qingzhou smiled and said: "Can't help it, it's just too easy to guess. Unless you get my sister to join in next time."

Hearing Ye Qingzhou mention Ye Lingling, Dugu Yan helplessly spread her hands: "Lingling? Better forget it."

"With her personality, she would never accompany me in doing something like this."

"However, Little Zhou, is there a reason why you planted this Blue Silver Grass in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

Dugu Yan leaned in close to Ye Qingzhou, curiously observing the Blue Silver Grass as it enjoyed the rain-like watering.

Ye Qingzhou kept her in suspense:

"It's a secret."

"You'll know once it grows up."

Dugu Yan rolled her eyes at Ye Qingzhou: "Tch, fine, don't tell me then."

"It's just a mere Blue Silver Grass, what could it possibly grow into?"

Despite what she said, Dugu Yan remained very curious.

After finishing the watering, Ye Qingzhou put the kettle back into his Soul Tool.

Looking at Dugu Yan, who was still leaning close to him, Ye Qingzhou asked: "Sister Yan, is there anything else?"

Facing Ye Qingzhou's inquiry, Dugu Yan chuckled and said: "What, can't I just come to see you if there's nothing going on?"

"Was Liu Erlong captured by you?"

Hearing the name Liu Erlong, Ye Qingzhou looked at Dugu Yan in confusion, his eyes seemingly asking how she knew.

Dugu Yan replied:

"Yu Tianheng told me. It seems Yu Luomian sent a letter asking Yu Tianheng to help Liu Erlong or something."

"He told me that you and Grandpa captured Liu Erlong when she was causing trouble at Skywater Academy. Is that true?"

Ye Qingzhou nodded: "That is the case. Sister Yan, do you want to know the whole story?"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up; naturally, she wanted to know about such things.

"I do, of course I do!"

Following that, Ye Qingzhou briefly recounted the events that had occurred that day.

As she listened, Dugu Yan began to feel indignant on behalf of Shui Bing'er, saying angrily:

"This Liu Erlong is too much! Is she even a woman? She actually sided with a bunch of perverts."

"Next time I see the Shrek group, I will definitely make them feel the power of my evolved Jade Phosphorous Serpent venom!"

After consuming the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Dugu Yan's martial soul had completed its evolution; not only was the toxicity issue resolved, but the quality of her martial soul had also risen to a new level.

Seeing Dugu Yan so agitated, Ye Qingzhou finally felt this was the reaction a normal woman should have when encountering lecherous scoundrels.

"Sister Yan, don't get worked up. There will be opportunities to run into Shrek and the others in the future."

"However, I am curious, what is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's reaction?"

"Bailing them out." Dugu Yan responded with two simple words. "I don't know about what happens after that. You know, my relationship with Yu Tianheng hasn't been good lately."

This result was within Ye Qingzhou's expectations—bailing them out, indeed.

Based on his understanding of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, they would only bail out Liu Erlong alone.

As for those people from Shrek.

It would depend on whether Liu Erlong chooses to save them.

Glancing at the sky, Dugu Yan looked at Ye Qingzhou and suggested: "It's so late now, Little Brother Zhou, why don't you stay the night at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?"

"It's too dangerous for you to go back to the medical clinic alone."

Staying the night at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well made Ye Qingzhou hesitate. He felt Dugu Yan's words made sense, but the thought of Dugu Bo's angry face made him inexplicably afraid.

"But if your grandfather finds out, won't he misunderstand?"

Even though Dugu Bo treated him well enough usually, he always tended to overreact whenever his granddaughter was involved.

Looking at the nervous Ye Qingzhou, Dugu Yan burst into laughter:

"So what? Do you think he would dare to let you return to Tiandou City all by yourself?"

"Alright then."

Seeing her so resolute, Ye Qingzhou had no choice but to respectfully comply.

The Sunset Forest was still quite dangerous at night, so it would be better to wait until tomorrow to head back.

Holy Soul Village, back mountain, inside the stone chamber.

"Impossible, this is impossible."

Tang Hao looked in despair at the small mound of dirt that was completely devoid of any plants.

He clearly remembered—he clearly remembered planting Ah Yin right here.

Why, why couldn't he find her!

"Ah Yin, stop joking with me, come out now."

Tang Hao's voice echoed through the stone chamber, but he never received a single response.

The only thing that answered Tang Hao was the sound of his own voice.

"Damn it, who on earth stole Ah Yin?" Tang Hao slammed a fist into the stone wall in a fit of rage.

A switch was triggered.

A crack opened in the ceiling of the cave, but nothing fell out from within it.

Staring at the ceiling, Tang Hao panicked, his eyes widening to their limit.

"The spirit bones, why are the spirit bones gone too!"

He remembered very clearly that Ah Yin, her spirit bone, and the two inherited spirit bones of the Clear Sky Sect had all been placed in this vital spot.

Yet, both of these items had mysteriously vanished.

It was as if they had never existed in the first place.

Tang Hao's face twisted into a hideous mask, and a potent, crimson killing intent surged from his body.

The killing intent saturated the entire stone chamber.

"Who was it? Who was it? Who stole my Ah Yin and the three spirit bones!"

He slammed a fist imbued with the formidable spirit power of a Titled Douluo downward, causing the entire stone chamber to shake violently, showing signs of imminent collapse.

But the irrational Tang Hao could not care about such things; he vented his fury with punch after punch.

"It must be Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo!"

Tang Hao immediately thought of Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo.

Before he had encountered Ye Shuyuan and Dugu Bo, his Ah Yin and the three spirit bones had been lying here, safe and sound.

But after meeting them, Ah Yin and the three spirit bones had all disappeared.

If it wasn't their doing, then who else could it be!

"Ye Shuyuan, Dugu Bo, I, Tang Hao, will never share the same sky as you!"
