Who Wouldn't Want to Say Their Granddaughter Married a God King? The Sweet-and-Savory Debate

Another punch. Tang Hao's fist, wrapped in blood-red killing intent, slammed into the wall.

The entire wall came crashing down, rubble rolling across the ground.

Tang Hao panted heavily, standing amid the rubble like a wounded beast, his eyes filled with a blood-red glow.

After glancing at the stone chamber where he had spent six long years, Tang Hao staggered away and disappeared into the night.

The next day, at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Ye Qingzhou stepped out of the house, stretched, and yawned.

"Sleeping somewhere else takes some getting used to, but the scenery here is lovely."

Just as Ye Qingzhou had said, mornings at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well were truly beautiful.

The two springs, one cold and one hot, flowed together, and the mist rising from them made the place look like a fairyland in the morning light.

The Blue Silver Grass planted just last night seemed to have perked up from the spring water's nourishment. Dewdrops clung to its leaves as they swayed gently in the breeze.

The air was also filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Suddenly, a large hand landed on Ye Qingzhou's shoulder.

"Well, Little Monster, did you sleep comfortably last night?"

Ye Qingzhou stiffly turned around and came face-to-face with Dugu Bo's kindly smiling face.

"It was all right."

Seeing how nervous Ye Qingzhou looked, Dugu Bo burst out laughing. "What are you nervous about? I'm not going to eat you."

To be honest, if Ye Qingzhou really became his grandson-in-law, he'd be a hundred percent delighted.

My granddaughter married a God King!

Who wouldn't want to say those words?

And from what he'd observed, Ye Qingzhou was much better than that Yu Tianheng fellow.

Yu Tianheng looked like he was approaching Yanzi with an ulterior motive.

Dugu Yan came out of the house and spoke up for Ye Qingzhou. "All right, Grandpa, stop scaring Qingzhou."

"Got it, got it." Faced with his granddaughter's protest, Dugu Bo lost interest at once.

Ye Qingzhou smiled. "It's fine, Yanzi. I'm already used to Old Poison acting like this."

Ever since he used the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to solve the poison problem in Dugu Yan's Martial Soul and improve its quality, he could clearly feel her favorability toward him rising rapidly.

The fact that she'd ditched Yu Tianheng to spend time alone with him was proof enough.

And then there was their playful tussle last night.

Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qingzhou. "Come on. I'm taking Yan Yan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy anyway, so I'll give you a ride. Otherwise, Old Ye will get on my case, and there'll be nothing I can do about it."

"No problem."

Ye Qingzhou nodded. At this hour, they could still get to Heaven Dou City in time for a nice hot breakfast.

"Let's go." Dugu Bo waved at Ye Qingzhou and Dugu Yan, motioning for them to follow.

Ye Qingzhou and Dugu Yan exchanged smiles and followed behind Dugu Bo.

Heaven Dou City.

Breakfast shops had sprung up along the bustling streets, while the other stores called out to passersby.

Pedestrians began streaming through the streets one after another.

"Sweet soy milk is still the best."

At the table, Ye Qingzhou munched on a meat bun while drinking his sweet soy milk.

Looking at the sweet soy milk in Ye Qingzhou's bowl, Dugu Yan's eyes flashed with disdain. "You've got it all wrong. Want to try my savory soy milk?"

As she spoke, she held out her bowl of savory soy milk to him. Ye Qingzhou stared at it, hesitating.

"This... Yanzi, maybe I'll pass." Ye Qingzhou preferred sweet soy milk.

Seeing him refuse, Dugu Yan wasn't about to let him off. She had to make him try the deliciousness of savory soy milk.

She scooped up a spoonful and held it to Ye Qingzhou's lips, her eyes full of anticipation.

"Come on, just try it. I promise it's good."

Ye Qingzhou still hesitated. "This..."

But the more he backed away, the more fired up Dugu Yan got.

Watching the two of them act all lovey-dovey, Dugu Bo's face darkened. He cleared his throat.

"If Little Monster doesn't want any, don't force him."

"This... All right." At Dugu Bo's urging, Dugu Yan swallowed the spoonful of savory soy milk.

"That was close." Ye Qingzhou breathed a sigh of relief. He looked at the sweet soy milk in his bowl, then turned to Dugu Yan.

"Yanzi."

At Ye Qingzhou's call, Dugu Yan immediately sensed trouble. She eyed him warily. "What do you want?"

"How about you try my sweet soy milk?"

With that, Ye Qingzhou scooped up a spoonful, ready to force it into Dugu Yan's mouth.

"Hey, you!" Seeing what he was doing, Dugu Yan hurriedly raised her guard.

"Ah..." Dugu Bo covered his old face and looked away from the two of them fooling around.

Couldn't they just eat in peace for once?!

After breakfast.

Ye Qingzhou toyed with his spoon and looked at Dugu Yan with a victor's smile.

"Well, Yanzi, how was my sweet soy milk?"

Dugu Yan, who'd been forced to drink it, glared at him. She wanted to say something, but couldn't bring herself to.

"It wasn't exactly delicious, but I can tolerate it."

After taking a sip of sweet soy milk, she found it wasn't as bad as she'd imagined.

"We've finished eating. Let's go." Dugu Bo stood up and looked at Ye Qingzhou and Dugu Yan.

"Mm, it's getting late." Ye Qingzhou checked the time and realized it was almost noon already.

Dugu Yan nodded. "Then let's go."

After breakfast, they left the shop. Before taking Dugu Yan to Heaven Dou Royal Academy, Dugu Bo first dropped Ye Qingzhou off at the Ye Family Clinic.

When they arrived at the Ye Family Clinic, Dugu Yan called out, "Lingling, we should get going."

Before long, Ye Lingling came out of the clinic.

The instant she saw Ye Qingzhou, her resentful gaze pierced him like sharp thorns.

"Ye Qingzhou, you left home again without telling anyone."

Scolded by Ye Lingling, Ye Qingzhou retreated behind Dugu Yan in fright and poked his head out.

"Sis, let me explain."

Ye Lingling cut off his right to explain and said sternly, "I'm not listening."

"Can't you tell me before you go out next time?"

Ye Qingzhou shuddered.

"I can. I definitely will."

If it had been anyone else, Ye Qingzhou would have argued back without hesitation.

But the person standing before him was the older sister who had looked after him as he grew up.

When his sister scolded him, all he could do was accept it.

Dugu Yan was stunned. Was this really the Ye Lingling she knew?

Why did her whole presence seem different?

Ye Lingling looked at Ye Qingzhou suspiciously. "Really?"

Her younger brother was great in every way, except that sometimes he could be impossible to deal with.

Ye Qingzhou nodded vigorously. "Really, really!"

Ye Lingling continued, "Grandpa said that if you came back, you should go to his study. He has two letters for you to read."
