After learning what had happened, Yue Guan and Gui Mei had put aside their previous grievances and were actually quite happy to have Dugu Bo join them.
Aside from people in Spirit Hall, the person Yue Guan and Gui Mei had dealt with most often was none other than Dugu Bo.
"Yue Guan, I don't care what you do, just cut out that girly tone." Dugu Bo looked thoroughly impatient.
Yue Guan was great in every way, but how was Dugu Bo supposed to handle that act? He, Dugu Bo, had roamed the continent for years. Who didn't know his poison skills?
Yet Yue Guan had him stumped.
Yue Guan draped an arm over Dugu Bo's shoulder and grinned. "Little Poison, listen to you. Who are we kidding?"
Ye Guyue walked ahead, paying no attention to the three behind him.
When they reached Pope Palace,
Qian Xunji put down the documents in his hand and looked at the two who had returned from their honeymoon, as well as... Dugu Bo?
What was this unruly fellow doing here?
"Guyue, you're back from your honeymoon. What's the story with Dugu Bo?" Qian Xunji asked.
Ye Guyue began to explain. "I helped Dugu Bo neutralize the Jade Phosphor Snake's poison. He promised me that he and his son, Dugu Xin, would join Spirit Hall. While the poison was being removed, Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin respectively broke through to Titled Douluo and Soul Emperor."
Qian Xunji was overjoyed. If Dugu Bo had broken through to Titled Douluo, didn't that mean Spirit Hall had gained another powerful Titled Douluo?
"Wonderful! Guyue, you've given your teacher such a pleasant surprise." Qian Xunji was beside himself with excitement.
"Teacher, there's one more thing. I've broken through to Soul Douluo," Ye Guyue added.
"What? You broke through to Soul Douluo? It's only been a short while!"
Qian Xunji clutched his racing heart and hurriedly sat on the Pope's throne, taking deep breaths to calm himself. One good piece of news after another had nearly overwhelmed him.
"Teacher, are you all right?"
Ye Guyue was a little worried. Don't go and keel over from the shock!
Qian Xunji caught his breath and said, "I'm fine. I'm just so happy. Guyue, you and Bibi Dong go get some rest. You must be tired after your honeymoon. Tomorrow, we'll set out for the Star Dou Great Forest."
At the mention of the Star Dou Great Forest, Ye Guyue felt uneasy all over. But there was no other choice. Where else could they find Soul Beasts?
"Yes, teacher."
Ye Guyue and Bibi Dong left Pope Palace.
"Senior Sister, where are we going?" Bibi Dong giggled. "If you're free, let's go at it outdoors. I want to make you mine."
"Get lost," Ye Guyue replied irritably.
"What kind of place is this? You're always saying filthy things. Have you no shame?"
Ye Guyue scolded her.
"Don't put on an act, Senior Sister. Dong'er knows you too well."
Bibi Dong had been happily teasing her when she suddenly wrapped her arms around Ye Guyue's slender waist.
Bibi Dong's foot suddenly slipped, and she fell straight down, instinctively grabbing Ye Guyue's ice-blue robe.
With a rip, Bibi Dong tore the robe from Ye Guyue's shoulder. A glimpse of spring was laid bare, revealing a patch of snowy-white skin and her fragrant shoulder.
Bibi Dong jumped in fright. "I-I'm sorry, Senior Sister."
Bibi Dong's gaze lingered on that smooth skin and shoulder before traveling upward. Ye Guyue's usually cool face was tinged with a flush of anger and embarrassment.
Senior Sister was so alluring. Could she let herself go just once?
"Dong'er!"
Ye Guyue scolded her under her breath. The robe she picked up from the ground had been torn to shreds by Bibi Dong's clumsy move.
"You... I..." Ye Guyue was so angry she couldn't get the words out. Bibi Dong had definitely done it on purpose. How could she have actually fallen?
"Dong'er, you're sleeping on the floor tonight!"
Ye Guyue blushed and issued her ultimatum, then hurried back to her chambers to find a new robe and put it on.
It was a while after Ye Guyue had left before Bibi Dong finally came to her senses. She hurried after her.
"Senior Sister, don't! I was wrong."
Oh no, she really had made Senior Sister angry.
She chased Ye Guyue all the way to their chambers, but Ye Guyue still ignored her and instead headed for the Worship Hall.
When she arrived at the Worship Hall,
Qian Daoliu was chatting with Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo. When he saw Ye Guyue enter with Bibi Dong following behind and apologizing, he didn't need to think twice to know the couple had quarreled.
"Grandpa Qian, Grandpa Golden Crocodile, Grandpa Azure Luan."
Ye Guyue greeted them obediently.
The sound of Ye Guyue's voice nearly melted all three of their hearts.
As elders who had watched Ye Guyue grow up, the seven of them each had a different kind of affection for him, and each had their own way of raising him.
"Guyue, did you two quarrel?" Qian Daoliu asked with a smile.
Ye Guyue glanced at Bibi Dong as she came running over and gave a soft snort. "No."
Looking at Ye Guyue, Qian Daoliu smiled. "Your affairs are your own. I won't interfere. Now that you're back from your honeymoon, how was it?"
"For the first twenty years, you devoted yourself entirely to cultivation. Now that you have a wife, you should change your outlook."
Ye Guyue remained cool and aloof. "No."
But the flush on Ye Guyue's cheeks betrayed him.
The three enshrined elders exchanged smiles. They knew better than to say anything.
"Grandpa Qian, there's one more thing. I've broken through to Soul Douluo."
Ye Guyue set aside her thoughts and hurried to tell him the important news.
"What? You broke through to Soul Douluo?"
Qian Daoliu, Golden Crocodile Douluo, and Azure Luan Douluo all trembled, nearly thinking they'd heard wrong.
A breakthrough to Soul Douluo? It had only been a short time, and he'd already broken through.
He had left the Clear Sky Twin Stars of the Clear Sky Sect leagues behind.
"Guyue, you really are a genius," Qian Daoliu praised with a smile.
Ye Guyue clenched his hand in the air, and the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear appeared in his grasp, its golden light flowing. It completely outshone the Angel God Statue behind the three enshrined elders.
Qian Daoliu sensed an unusual power from the spear.
"Guyue, what is this?"
"This is the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear, and I've already received a divine inheritance," Ye Guyue said.
"A divine inheritance!"
Qian Daoliu was overjoyed. As the High Priest of the Angel God, he knew all too well how important a divine inheritance was.
Qian Daoliu's breathing suddenly grew rapid. He couldn't hold himself together, and his vision went black as he fainted.
"Big brother!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Luan Douluo hurriedly caught Qian Daoliu as he fell.
"Grandpa Qian!"
Ye Guyue cried out and rushed over to check on him. "He's all right. He only fainted."
That scared him half to death. As expected of father and son. He hadn't told Qian Xunji about the divine inheritance, but Qian Daoliu had fainted from excitement.
"Guyue, these two things came as too much of a shock to the Great Enshrined. Just give him a moment to recover," Azure Luan Douluo said.
Ye Guyue put away the Holy Emperor Dragon Spear and pulled Bibi Dong, who was standing to one side, onto a stone stool.
As soon as they sat down, Bibi Dong begged piteously, "Husband, I was wrong. Just let me sleep in the bed. I can't sleep on the floor!"
No way. Bibi Dong absolutely would not sleep on the floor.
"No. If you won't sleep on the floor, then get out," Ye Guyue said coldly, giving Bibi Dong no room to negotiate.
Bibi Dong wailed inwardly. Senior Sister, then don't blame Dong'er for being ruthless. You'll see what you get tonight.
