Dugu Bo the Matchmaker, Blind Date
"Yanyan, don't be sad. A man like that isn't worth it."
"Grandpa will take you to find someone a thousand, ten thousand times better than him—more handsome, taller, better-looking, stronger, wealthier, and someone who will become a Title Douluo before long."
In the sky, Dugu Bo watched Dugu Yan cry with some heartache and immediately tried to comfort her.
That damned little bastard Yu Tianheng actually made my Yanyan this sad, made her cry. One day, I'll have Little Monster beat the hell out of him!
Dugu Bo thought viciously. As an elder, it was inappropriate for him to act personally. Besides, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan behind Yu Tianheng also had a Title Douluo, and Yu Tianheng was closely related to that Title Douluo by blood.
If he stepped in to teach Yu Tianheng a lesson, that person would definitely show up as well.
Then the matter would become difficult to resolve.
If it was merely a fight between youngsters and neither side's elders intervened, then it would be easy enough to settle.
If one's junior was inferior in skill, there was no one else to blame.
A loss was a loss.
If that old dragon dared to come looking for trouble, he would naturally step forward then.
"Wuwuwu... Grandpa, I know you're only trying to comfort me. How could there possibly be such a perfect person in this world? Even if there were, he definitely wouldn't be interested in me."
"There's no shortage of girls in the world. There are plenty prettier than me, and plenty more outstanding than me."
Dugu Yan wept, sincerely believing that her grandfather was only saying those things to console her. Even she herself felt that it sounded terribly fake.
"..."
"Yanyan, have confidence in yourself. Grandpa isn't lying to you. It's true."
"He's in Grandpa's Back Garden. Grandpa will take you to meet him right now."
Dugu Bo said with a mixture of amusement and helplessness.
His flying speed abruptly surged, and before long, he entered Sunset Forest and arrived at his Back Garden.
Inside the cave dwelling, Li Fei sensed someone entering and awoke from meditation. His spiritual power was now extremely strong, and he had already discovered who had come outside.
The old man had brought a girl with him.
For some reason, I'm a little nervous. This feels like a blind date.
Li Fei had also been single in his previous life and had never gone on a blind date, so it was only natural that he felt somewhat nervous.
He withdrew his spiritual power and looked at the Pills around him, all of which had already been refined.
With a wave of his hand, he activated the Growth Force and began duplicating them one by one.
Once he was finished, he stored them in his Soul Tool storage ring.
"I already have some ideas about how to remove Soul Rings, but there are still a few things I haven't figured out."
"Looks like this won't be a simple project. But compared to removing Soul Rings, perhaps directly increasing their age would be better?"
"Forget it. I'll look into it later."
Li Fei scratched his head in frustration. The hardest step in the world was going from nothing to something, from zero to one.
Once that hurdle had been crossed smoothly, things would become easier afterward.
After returning, he planned to find some people and carefully study their bodies, along with those of Soul Beasts. Perhaps that would give him better inspiration.
"Speaking of which, the ancestors of Clear Sky Sect were quite something. They actually managed to invent so many secret manuals. Did they create them themselves, or excavate them from some ancient ruins, make a few changes, and pass them off as their sect's inherited secret arts? Just like that bastard Yu Xiaogang, who used the books and knowledge collected by Spirit Hall, compiled them, made a few slight alterations, and turned them into his own Ten Core Competitive Theories?"
"Looks like they're all shameless scoundrels."
Li Fei thought to himself. Before he knew it, he had left the room and arrived in the living room.
Dugu Bo had already brought Dugu Yan inside from outdoors, just in time to see Li Fei walk out of the room.
Dugu Yan's gaze settled on him.
If no one had told her his age, she would never have known that the man before her was only six. In her eyes, Li Fei looked around fifteen or sixteen.
After all, he was so tall and powerfully built.
So he's the person Grandpa was talking about?
Tall, handsome, strong, and destined to become a Title Douluo before long?
I never expected Grandpa to rate someone so highly. This person must really be extraordinary.
Dugu Yan did not even blink as she carefully examined Li Fei. The more she looked, the more captivated she became.
Compared to him, Yu Tianheng was practically a pile of crap.
So Grandpa really wasn't lying to me! she thought with secret delight.
"Little Monster, let me introduce you. This is the granddaughter I told you about, Dugu Yan."
"Yanyan, this is the person Grandpa just told you about. His name is Li Fei."
"You two can get to know each other first. Start as friends."
Dugu Bo smiled and took the initiative to introduce them. At that moment, he was playing the role of matchmaker.
"Hello." Li Fei had been single in both lives and kept himself clean, never touching another woman. Meeting a beauty for the first time truly made him somewhat shy, embarrassed, and reserved, but he still pretended to remain calm.
"Hello." Dugu Yan was much the same. Although she had developed some feelings for Yu Tianheng, she was still at an innocent and inexperienced stage.
Moreover, after learning the truth this time, she wanted even more to find someone to rely on emotionally and spiritually.
Judging from her first impression, the boy her grandfather had introduced to her did not feel bad at all. He was countless times better than Yu Tianheng.
For no apparent reason, she found herself favorably inclined toward him.
"Ahem, this old man has something to do outside. You two chat by yourselves." Dugu Bo gave a dry cough, used it as an excuse, and left, giving the two of them space.
The private space was very quiet. They could not only hear each other breathing, but even the sound of their heartbeats.
At first, both of them were rather shy.
But as time passed and their conversation deepened, they gradually relaxed and grew bolder.
After becoming bolder, Li Fei cleverly tried out various flirting methods taught by online veterans from his previous life. To his surprise, the results were quite good, and he gradually took the initiative.
Ah, I hope this works out.
Outside, Dugu Bo looked at the empty Medicine Garden and thought silently to himself.
He also hoped that his granddaughter and Li Fei would become a couple.
It would be a good thing for both of them.
After he died someday, at least his granddaughter would have a Title Douluo husband and would not be bullied by others.
As time passed, the two emerged holding hands.
That progress was indeed a little fast.
It felt unreal, but it was true.
However, when the worried Dugu Bo saw this, he was overjoyed inside, and the burden in his heart finally eased.
As long as it worked out, that's all that matters.
"Old Poison, I didn't let you down. From now on, we're truly family."
Li Fei spoke first, no longer displaying his earlier shyness.
He had overcome his awkwardness, embarrassment, and bashfulness, becoming bolder and taking the initiative to approach her. He discovered that picking up girls truly was not as difficult as he had imagined.
Besides, he had height, looks, muscles, and strength, which made it even easier.
Then he gave a heartbroken girl some poisonous emotional chicken soup, and Dugu Yan was directly won over. She was utterly enchanted by his charm.
The main reason was that girls in this world were all rather conservative. If he were dealing with the open-minded girls from his previous life, this move might not have worked.
After all, those girls had experienced too much and were already immune to it.
