Dugu Bo VS Lan! Title Douluo! Marrying Off Granddaughter Dugu Yan?!

Lan remained expressionless, backhanding her with another slap, the force of which was heavier than any before.

"Be quiet."

His voice was very soft, yet it acted like a basin of ice water, dousing all the arrogance Dugu Yan had just ignited.

"Wuu..."

Dugu Yan's body stiffened abruptly; all her smugness vanished in an instant, replaced by a deeper, unspeakable humiliation.

Tears burst forth like a broken dam once again, but this time, she could not utter a single word of threat.

On the shore, Scorpion Girl watched all of this in silence.

Her small hands clenched quietly at her sides.

In those purple eyes, there was not a shred of satisfaction.

She stared at Dugu Yan, who was weeping on her master's lap, her heart screaming in silence.

Master...

Why are you rewarding her!

"Yanyan!"

Lan lifted his eyelids and looked toward the horizon.

A tall, thin figure clad in a dark green robe was hovering in mid-air, a pair of sinister eyes locked onto him as if intending to swallow him whole.

The real master had arrived.

Lan withdrew his gaze and glanced at Dugu Yan, who was sprawled on his lap, trembling all over from her weeping.

He loosened his grip.

With a "thud," Dugu Yan, caught completely off guard, slid off his lap and fell clumsily into the lake water.

"Cough, cough... Grandfather!"

Dugu Yan thrashed about in the water, choking on a few mouthfuls, but when she looked up and saw that familiar figure in the sky, the grievances she had bottled up burst forth instantly.

In the air, the figure descended slowly, hovering three feet above the ground with his hands behind his back.

Dugu Bo.

Title: Poison.

His gaze shifted from his granddaughter and landed back on the youth who had remained seated by the water's edge, his expression unchanged from the very beginning.

"Brat."

Dugu Bo's voice was icy. "You actually dare to bully my granddaughter."

Yanyan was his lifeblood; she was his everything.

Yet now, she had been held across someone's lap like this, treated like an unruly child being taught a lesson... by having her bottom spanked.

Such humiliation was something he could not endure.

However, before Lan could speak, a petite figure rushed out from the shore, spreading her arms to stand firmly in front of Lan.

It was Scorpion Girl.

She tilted her head back, facing the legendary Titled Douluo without a hint of fear.

"Your granddaughter tried to kill my master for no reason!"

Scorpion Girl's voice was crisp. "What is wrong with my master teaching your granddaughter a lesson!"

"What?"

Dugu Yan, still in the lake, was stunned to hear this.

She looked at the purple-haired girl standing before Lan with a face full of bewilderment. "She is your master? Isn't he forcing you?"

In Dugu Yan's eyes, this girl was clearly another victim abducted by this villain.

"Forcing?"

Upon hearing this, Scorpion Girl acted as if she had heard the greatest joke in the world.

"Master didn't force me at all!"

She puffed out her chest. "He is a gentleman, the best person in this entire world! I would even beg for Master's favor!"

As she spoke, her tone shifted, and a hint of hostility flashed in her purple eyes as she stared straight at Dugu Yan.

"It is you, you vixen—I bet you must have taken a fancy to my master!"

"You deliberately picked a fight just to attract my master's attention in this way!"

"You homewrecker!"

"You...!"

Dugu Yan was so infuriated by these words that she nearly choked on water again.

What did she mean by... I have taken a fancy to him?

And trying to attract his attention?

This was her first time having such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex, and the numbing, powerless sensation that made her feel ashamed and desperate still lingered in her body, her pretty face flushed so red it looked as if it might drip blood.

Now, she was actually being slandered like this by this little girl!

Dugu Yan was so angry she laughed.

"What? I'm a vixen? And I'm trying to attract your master's attention?"

Her already ample chest heaved violently due to her rapid breathing.

"You listen well!"

Dugu Yan pointed at the expressionless Lan by the water, shouting with all her might:

"Even if every man in the world were dead, I would never like him!"

Dugu Yan's resolute words still echoed over the surface of the lake.

Scorpion Girl, however, was relentless; she thrust her small body forward and lifted her chin.

"You are a vixen!"

In her eyes, Dugu Yan's posture was nothing more than a game of playing hard to get.

"You say you don't want to, but who knows how much you're dying to attract Master's attention in your heart!"

Bad woman!

Scorpion Girl added in her heart.

On the shore, Ye Lingling, who had been silent all along, had eyes filled with a strange light.

She looked at the purple-haired girl who had recklessly blocked the path in front of Lan, and then looked at Lan, who had remained calm and indifferent from beginning to end.

She knew she had misjudged him.

This boy named Lan, perhaps... was truly a gentleman.

Ye Lingling couldn't help but feel a lingering fear.

If she had let her head get hot just now and had actually attacked with Yan Yan...

Then, the one being held over a knee and taught a lesson right now would likely include her as well.

At the mere thought of that scene, Ye Lingling felt her legs go weak, and her entire body felt drained of strength.

"You... you're talking nonsense!"

Dugu Yan, in the water, was so angry she couldn't speak; she could only point at Scorpion Girl, her chest heaving violently.

Immediately after, the burning pain coming from behind made her gasp.

She couldn't be bothered to bicker with Scorpion Girl anymore; she covered her buttocks and turned her head to seek help from her best friend on the shore.

"Lingling, what are you standing there for! Hurry up and heal me!"

"Ah? Oh!"

Ye Lingling finally snapped out of her trance and hurriedly stepped forward.

A crystal-clear Begonia flower, shimmering with nine-colored light, slowly emerged in her fair palm.

A soft, healing light poured over Dugu Yan like flowing water.

The injuries on Dugu Yan's body recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the burning pain gradually subsided.

But replacing it was a numbing, strange sensation that made her feel even more ashamed and indignant, as if the temperature and force of that palm still lingered.

She was soaked through, her hair messily plastered against her cheeks, looking utterly disheveled.

Although she understood in her heart that she had been the one to misunderstand first.

But this person... how could he... how could he hit her there!

The more Dugu Yan thought about it, the angrier she became; the more she thought, the more aggrieved she felt. She looked up at Dugu Bo in the sky, pointed at Lan by the water, and shouted with a sobbing tone:

"Grandpa, kill him for me!"

However, the moment the words left her mouth, she felt a pang of regret.

Dugu Yan proudly lifted her snow-white chin, her mouth pouting slightly, and changed her tune:

"Forget it."

"This young lady is feeling merciful today; Grandpa, just spare his life."

Dugu Bo, in the sky, took in every bit of his granddaughter's little-girl demeanor.

He certainly knew that his granddaughter was somewhat lawless on ordinary days.

However, he could not bear to see her suffer even the slightest grievance.

Dugu Bo's gaze, like two tangible blades, locked onto Lan once more.

"Kid."

His voice carried not a shred of warmth.

"Regardless of the reason, you should never have spanked my granddaughter."

"Today, let this old man teach you a lesson and show you how vast the world truly is."

As his voice trailed off, Dugu Bo seemed to recall something, a playful arc curling at the corner of his lips.

He looked at Lan's face—excessively handsome, yet unnervingly calm—and shifted his tone.

"Of course, this old man is not an unreasonable person."

"As long as you can withstand three moves from me."

Dugu Bo paused, his gaze sweeping between his granddaughter and Lan.

"I will take it upon myself to marry this precious granddaughter of mine to you."

"That is not out of the question."
