Sunset Forest

Sunset Forest

Li Fei brought Dugu Bo into the Back Garden, interrupting Flender and Liu Erlong while they were showing off their affection, then took the initiative to introduce Dugu Bo to them.

Upon hearing that Dugu Bo would become Li Fei's protector in the future, the two were both shocked and overjoyed.

At the same time, they admired Li Fei's methods. How had he made a Title Douluo willingly become his protector?

Li Fei did not say, and Dugu Bo did not say. Neither of them dared to ask.

With a Title Douluo added to their side, their lineup would become even stronger.

With a Title Douluo, the Li Family's businesses could be a little bolder in the future, gathering people's loyalty more quickly and establishing the Li Family's vast network of connections and Underground Empire.

The Li Family's principle was this: if they could avoid showing themselves, then they naturally would. Everything would be handled by representatives outside.

Only then could the Li Family be safer.

After all, the waters of this world ran deep.

Representatives were, in common terms, scapegoats.

In the future, the Li Family would use its vast network and funds to support the rise of a puppet regime, seize the Heaven Dou Empire, and perhaps even the Star Luo Empire and Spirit Hall.

Of course, that was a matter for the future. One had to eat one bite at a time; there was no rushing it.

Otherwise, one wrong move would lose the entire game!

Qian Renxue's failure in the original story was the best lesson and example.

Li Fei would never allow the Li Family to walk such a path.

Spirit Hall was enormous, with numerous Title Douluo and a sufficiently powerful foundation. Even if it lost, it would not be a major problem.

But the Li Family could not afford that.

One Title Douluo was not enough to turn the world upside down.

Everything had to be done discreetly.

After returning this time, he planned to have the Li Family operate behind the scenes, keeping a low profile and minimizing the Li Family's reputation outside.

They would become the helmsmen in the darkness completely.

"Next, this old man will take Little Monster to Sunset Forest to hunt his fourth Soul Ring. You don't need to come along. Just stay here properly," Dugu Bo said slowly.

Now that they were all on the same side, he no longer faced the two with such indifference.

"To think you've already reached Level 40 so quickly. You truly are a monster!"

"With Your Excellency, a Title Douluo, there really is no need for us to go along." Flender and Liu Erlong were shocked at first, then agreed.

Before leaving, Li Fei told them about Tailong and Tainuo, warning them to be careful of Tai Tan's retaliation.

When they heard that Li Fei had defeated a veteran Level 49 Soul Ancestor with merely Level 40 Soul Power, they were not overly shocked after learning of his talent.

After all, Li Fei had already given them far too many surprises.

Liu Erlong snorted coldly. "Don't worry. Tai Tan is already so old; he probably won't have the nerve to personally step in. Even if he really comes, we don't need to fear him. This is Heaven Dou City, and if he truly pushes us too far, he won't have a pleasant end either!"

"Yes. If he really comes, just invoke this old man's name."

"If he refuses to listen, then when this old man returns, I will pay a visit to his clan at once."

After hearing this, a cold glint flashed through Dugu Bo's eyes.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Liu Erlong immediately accepted this favor.

After all, this was a Title Douluo.

Soon afterward, Dugu Bo and Li Fei set out, flying toward Sunset Forest.

"Old Poison, what is your cultivation level now?" Li Fei asked curiously.

"I completed my breakthrough last night and reached Level 93."

"Also, after sensing that my Martial Soul had transformed into a Flood Dragon, I found that my cultivation talent had improved as well."

Dugu Bo chuckled.

Li Fei considered this and nodded inwardly.

In the original story, Dugu Bo had remained at Level 93 for a long time, unable to advance even a step. Now, with Li Fei's help, his cultivation had improved rapidly.

He was considering whether to give Dugu Bo a drop of his heart's blood.

That would transform his Martial Soul into a dragon, and breaking through to Level 95 in the future would be effortless.

The stronger Dugu Bo became, the better it would be for the Li Family.

If that's the case, then I need to start working on Dugu Yan. If she wants my heart's blood, she must become part of the Li Family, Li Fei thought.

Naturally, being part of the Li Family did not mean joining it like Shrek.

It meant forming a true bloodline connection with the Li Family.

"Old Poison, I've suddenly become interested in your granddaughter. When will you introduce us? We can deepen the bond between us," Li Fei suddenly said, catching Dugu Bo off guard.

"You've changed your mind, kid? Didn't you say you weren't interested in women?" Dugu Bo asked somewhat unexpectedly.

The other party was such a monster—a six-year-old Level 40 Soul Ancestor. His future as a Title Douluo was practically guaranteed. If he could unite with his granddaughter and bind them together completely, Dugu Bo would be more than happy to see it.

Moreover, he was extremely satisfied with every aspect of Li Fei.

He was the most suitable candidate!

"I'm interested now. Why let the benefits go to outsiders?" Li Fei said with a light laugh.

"Haha, good. Once we're done here, I'll take you to meet my precious granddaughter. You need to act quickly and win Yanyan over before her relationship with that current partner becomes too close."

"That person's name is Yu Tianheng. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan stands behind him, and his status isn't low. Are you afraid?"

Dugu Bo was very pleased to see this happen.

"I'm not afraid. I'm only taking a woman from him. At worst, we'll fight, and he definitely won't be my opponent. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan wouldn't be so shameless as to personally step in and kill me, would they?" Li Fei shook his head.

"But Old Poison, is your granddaughter still a virgin? You should know that we care greatly about this," Li Fei said.

Dugu Bo's face darkened. "Don't worry. I personally examined her bones last night. She's perfectly clean, completely untouched! So you need to move quickly, kid. It would be best if you made it a done deal directly. Anyway, with your build, no one would think you're six. They'd only think you're in your teens."

"Forget it, I'm still young. We can talk about it after I come of age." Li Fei was rather speechless.

Good grief, Old Poison, are you really selling your precious granddaughter to me just like that?

"Perhaps, perhaps. This old man was indeed too hasty. For now, you two should cultivate your feelings first. If you truly get together, I'll go to Heaven Dou Royal Academy and arrange for Yanyan to withdraw, so she can cultivate with you properly and deepen your relationship," Dugu Bo said.

"That works." Li Fei nodded in agreement.

As they chatted, time passed. Before they knew it, the two had entered Sunset Forest, located within Heaven Dou City.

"Although Sunset Forest is not as large as Star Dou Forest, its area still ranks third. While its species are not as diverse as those in Star Dou Forest, it still contains many."

"How many years do you plan for your fourth Soul Ring to be?"

Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"A sixty- or seventy-thousand-year dragon-type Soul Beast, or one with dragon bloodline," Li Fei said.

Dugu Bo abruptly stopped.

"What!?"

"You want to absorb one of such a high level?"

"At that level, even Title Douluo can absorb it, and Soul Douluo are the most likely to absorb them!"

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in amazement.

This guy truly wasn't afraid of exploding to death! What nerve!
