Going Home (Seeking Collection, Seeking Follow-up Reads)

The moment the soul skill was unleashed, the phantom of the Jade Phosphor Dragon appeared behind Dugu Bo. With a thunderous roar, it unleashed a breath attack toward the front!

Wherever the breath touched, plants withered and corroded instantly. A moment later, those same plants began to freeze and char.

Seeing this, Yu Tianshuo rolled his eyes and a mischievous idea struck him.

Taking advantage of Dugu Bo being distracted, he flashed directly into the toxic mist.

Then, amidst the shocked expressions of his master and senior brother, he took a deep breath of the poison, gave his master a thumbs-up, and said, "Ninety-nine percent purity, a rare find!"

This scene made Dugu Bo burst into laughter again. Yes, he was clutching his stomach and roaring with laughter, completely devoid of his usual composed demeanor.

Once Dugu Bo laughed until he was tired, he stood up and wiped away the tears of mirth. He walked over to Yu Tianshuo, patted his shoulder, and said, "Hahahaha, how did I never notice you had such a talent for comedy? It's a waste of talent to be a soul master, you..."

Yu Tianshuo looked at the current Dugu Bo, unable to suppress the corners of his mouth.

Case closed: his master's mental state had truly regressed along with his body.

If he had pulled this stunt before his master shrank, he would have been beaten at the very least, and likely punished with an extra week of training.

But now? His master just found it amusing and had even started imitating him, trying to taste the poison himself.

Seeing the two of them perfectly fine inside the toxic mist, Dugu Yuan felt a bit eager to try.

He scrambled up from the ground and was just about to step in when a wisp of toxic mist drifted toward him.

In an instant, Dugu Yuan's expression stiffened. His face turned a shade of blue and green, and he immediately began to foam at the mouth.

It wasn't until Yu Tianshuo heard a thud that the two realized Dugu Yuan had collapsed and was convulsing on the ground.

"Damn it! Master, Senior Brother is foaming at the mouth!"

"I'm not blind! Come and help!"

Dugu Bo flashed to his foolish son's side, his fingers transforming into dragon claws, and pressed them against Dugu Yuan's forehead to begin absorbing the toxins.

Yu Tianshuo didn't stay idle; he pricked his finger and flicked a drop of blood into Dugu Yuan's mouth.

After quite a bit of chaos, Dugu Yuan was finally out of danger.

Supported by the two, Dugu Yuan's legs were still shaking, but he wouldn't stop babbling. It seemed the poison contained mental toxins, and he would likely remain in this drooling state for some time.

"Ah, Mother, have you come to pick me up?"

"Ah! Little butterfly, hehehe... so pretty."

"And little mushrooms, I want to eat, I want..."

Dugu Bo couldn't take it anymore. With a single hand-chop, he knocked Dugu Yuan unconscious. He stopped carrying him and signaled for Yu Tianshuo to put Dugu Yuan on his back; it was time to go home.

Yu Tianshuo nodded with a smile, and with a thought, a portal formed before the three of them.

He stepped through first, and Dugu Bo followed suit, walking right in.

The moment the two landed, they realized their perspective was a bit high.

Looking down, oh, they were standing on the head of a hundred-thousand-year dragon-type soul beast.

That was fine, then.

Not giving the creature a chance to get angry, Yu Tianshuo unleashed his Dragon Might, forcing the beast to behave.

The dragon's eyes shifted from confusion to bewilderment, from bewilderment to rage, and from rage to clarity in a single instant.

Yu Tianshuo couldn't be bothered to say much. With a thought, he formed another spatial portal to cover the creature, leaving it in the void to wait for a future sacrifice.

With everything resolved, Dugu Bo took the lead, unfurling his dragon wings and flying toward the Heaven Dou Imperial City.

Yu Tianshuo quickly manifested his own dragon wings, following closely behind his master.

Meanwhile, deep within the Star Dou Forest, at the bottom of the Lake of Life, the Silver Dragon King opened her eyes a crack. She seemed to have sensed something, but due to her extreme weakness, she only transmitted a thought to Di Tian before falling back into a deep slumber.

Di Tian was startled upon receiving his master's message. The thought echoed:

"The auras of the Earth Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, and Fire Dragon King have appeared. Go investigate the cause and see if their clans have selected a new leader like you."

After his shock subsided, Di Tian bowed respectfully to the Silver Dragon King and set off to investigate his master's command.

At this moment, although the Silver Dragon King had fallen back into a deep sleep, a small portion of her consciousness remained, lost in thought. She murmured softly:

"The Golden Dragon King? It doesn't feel like him. It lacks his brutality, yet possesses an aura no weaker than his—perhaps even stronger?"

She shook her head, dismissing the conjecture.

Such a thought was too absurd. How could a dragon born on the Douluo Planet surpass the Golden Dragon King? It was impossible.

Having reached this conclusion, she abandoned the thought and drifted back into slumber.

In the Heaven Dou Empire, at the Dugu residence.

"Damn! Hahahaha, how did I never realize this wine tasted so good? Hahahahahaha."

Dugu Bo drank until his face was flushed, making no effort to use his soul power to dispel the effects of the alcohol.

He draped his arm carelessly over Yu Tianshuo's shoulder, occasionally teasing Dugu Yan as they drank; life was truly wonderful.

While some were happy, others were miserable; Dugu Yuan, currently stuck in a horse stance at the training grounds, didn't think it was wonderful at all—he only found it noisy.

There was no helping it; ever since he had regained consciousness, his old man had treated him with nothing but disdain, and he had been standing here for an entire day, exhausted and starving.

"Gurgle, gurgle..."

Rubbing his stomach as it began to growl loudly again, Dugu Yuan felt a sense of hopelessness.

But before he could sink further into his misery, the fragrance of food drifted into his nose.

Sniffing, sniffing, he opened his eyes to see his junior brother carrying his little princess right up to him.

Seeing the bowl filled with dishes held in his little princess's hands, a warm current suddenly flowed into his heart.

Before Yu Tianshuo could explain, Dugu Yan spoke up first.

"Yanyan knows Grandpa won't let Daddy come in to eat, but Yanyan thinks that as long as it's Yanyan feeding him, it doesn't count as Daddy disobeying Grandpa."

As she spoke, she scooped a spoonful of rice from the bowl in her arms and held it out to Dugu Yuan.

Watching this scene, Dugu Yuan nearly burst into tears.

Sniffling back the tears, Dugu Yuan smiled and opened his mouth, letting out an "Ah," and Dugu Yan stuffed the rice into his mouth.

Eating the meal fed to him by his own daughter, Dugu Yuan wore a look of complete satisfaction.

Yu Tianshuo watched the scene with a smile, feeling a sense of overflowing happiness as well.

In the courtyard, Dugu Bo simply laughed and poured himself a few more drinks, feeling that the wine only tasted better with every sip.

The gentle woman covered her mouth to hide her smile, feeling the happiness in this moment as well.
