Dugu Grandfather and Granddaughter: Never Have They Seen Anyone So Shameless!

Ye Qing squatted beside the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, with a row of immortal herbs laid out before him, looking just like a vegetable vendor at a market stall.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid, Cockscomb Phoenix Sunflower, Narcissus Jade Muscle Bone, Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew, Nine-Grade Purple Ganoderma, Snowy Swan Kiss, Aromatic Silk Beauty, Ink Jade Divine Bamboo, Earth Dragon Golden Melon...

Ye Qing had found all these Immortal Grades based on the characteristics described in the original novel.

With a lineup like this, Tang San would fall silent upon seeing it, while fans of the original would weep.

"Jackpot, jackpot, jackpot..."

Ye Qing rubbed his hands together, his eyes gleaming like Grandet's at the sight of gold coins.

Not far away, Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, expressionlessly watching his prospective grandson-in-law frantically sweep through his Medicine Garden.

The corner of his mouth twitched slightly, but he ultimately said nothing.

Forget it, forget it. He would just consider it part of Yanyan's dowry.

Even if that dowry made his heart ache.

"Kid, you're not planning to eat all of them, are you?"

Dugu Bo could not help speaking up. "This old man may not know much about these immortal herbs, but I know stacking medicinal effects is no joke."

"Rest assured, Senior. I know what I'm doing."

Ye Qing did not even look up as he continued picking through the herbs.

Dugu Bo: "..."

This brat truly had no respect for him whatsoever.

Ye Qing quickly made his choices.

The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot were naturally must-haves. He had already claimed this ice-and-fire pair.

Of the rest, he picked out another three.

Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum could steadily improve physical constitution and forge an indestructible body.

Full Moon Wearing Autumn Dew was one of the rare immortal herbs capable of increasing spiritual power.

Ink Jade Divine Bamboo improved physical constitution while perfectly matching plant-type Martial Souls, strengthening plant Martial Souls.

"My Nine-Leaf Lotus has evolved, but its foundation is still a plant-type Wild Flower Martial Soul. This Ink Jade Divine Bamboo should suit me well, probably... perhaps... maybe?"

Ye Qing muttered to himself, somewhat uncertain.

As for Tang San's claim that one person could only consume one immortal herb, Ye Qing did not believe it in the slightest.

Tang San himself had eaten three.

Besides, as a transmigrator, if he did not gamble big, he might as well go home and sell sweet potatoes.

"Yanzi, come here for a moment."

Ye Qing beckoned to Dugu Yan.

Dugu Yan was standing nearby with her arms crossed, a trace of anticipation in her jade-green eyes.

Hearing Ye Qing call her, she quickly walked over, though her mouth showed no mercy. "What? Do you need me to make decisions for you too?"

"Not to make decisions for me. To make them for yourself."

Ye Qing stood up and brushed the dirt from his knees, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"Wife, I said I'd help you solve the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison problem. This is the first step in fulfilling that promise."

Dugu Yan froze slightly.

At the mention of detoxification, she did not even notice Ye Qing taking advantage of her with that form of address.

She watched as Ye Qing took out a plant.

"The first step?"

Dugu Bo's voice came from behind them, carrying a hint of scrutiny.

"Kid, didn't you say immortal herbs couldn't be used before? What's this about immortal herbs now?"

"An excellent question, Senior."

Ye Qing turned to face Dugu Bo, neither humble nor overbearing. "Soul Bone Poison Extraction is the final solution, but Yanzi's toxins have accumulated in her body for many years. Her meridians and foundation have both suffered a certain degree of corrosion."

"If we directly guide out the poison, her body will not be able to withstand it. After all, Yanzi is not as powerful as you."

"So I need to use immortal herbs first to strengthen her foundation and restore the meridians corroded by the toxins."

"That way, when it comes time for Soul Bone Poison Extraction, Yanzi will be able to endure the pain of stripping away the poison more easily."

Dugu Bo was silent for a moment before slowly nodding.

This explanation was perfectly reasonable.

Though this brat was full of schemes, he truly cared about Yanyan.

"Then what is the origin of this immortal herb you plan to use for Yanyan?" Dugu Bo asked.

In Ye Qing's hand was an entirely jade-green immortal herb shaped like an orchid, with something resembling a stone on top of it.

Ye Qing first took out that stone-like object.

It was none other than Lovesick Heartbreak Red, the most bizarre king among flowers on Douluo Continent.

After Ye Qing introduced Lovesick Heartbreak Red, Dugu Yan immediately became interested in it.

She then spat out a mouthful of blood essence and tried to make it bloom.

Unfortunately, Lovesick Heartbreak Red did not bloom.

This meant Dugu Yan did not yet love Ye Qing enough to die for him.

Dugu Yan was somewhat disappointed.

Ye Qing could understand that.

After all, only about a week had passed from the time they met to the time they confirmed their relationship.

They had drawn closer entirely through 'love growing with time.' It was perfectly normal for them not to have such a deep emotional foundation yet.

Ye Qing was not discouraged either. At worst, they could spend more time letting love grow.

Fortunately, he had a backup plan.

Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid.

In the original novel, this immortal herb had ultimately gone to Oscar.

Oscar had a food-type Martial Soul, and the foundation-strengthening effect of Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid suited him best.

But its foundation-strengthening effect was still quite useful for Dugu Yan.

"Yanzi, that Lovesick Heartbreak Red is inherently special and bizarre. It doesn't matter if you can't obtain it."

"This immortal herb was also chosen for you. It is called Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid."

Ye Qing carefully held up the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid and offered it to Dugu Yan.

"Its medicinal properties are gentle and long-lasting, making it the most suitable for restoring meridians corroded by toxins."

"Directly increasing Soul Power is secondary. The key is that it can strengthen your foundation and replenish the foundation the poison has worn away over the years."

Dugu Yan looked at the immortal herb before her, which emitted a faint glow, while ripples flickered through her jade-green eyes.

She opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something.

"What is it?" Ye Qing tilted his head at her.

"...Nothing."

Dugu Yan turned her face away, her voice muffled. "I just think that although you're improper with your words, you're actually quite reliable when it comes to doing things."

"Of course. I'm a man who wants to marry you and become your husband. How could I be unreliable?"

"..."

Both Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo had black lines across their foreheads at those words.

How could someone speak so righteously about marrying into his wife's family?

They had never seen anyone so shameless!

Grinning, Ye Qing stuffed the Eight-Petal Immortal Orchid into her hand. "Here, eat it while it's fresh. Just swallow it directly."

Dugu Yan accepted the immortal herb without hesitation and swallowed it according to Ye Qing's instructions.

"Mm!"

Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan, her body trembling slightly.

The feeling of the medicinal effect taking hold was so comfortable that she nearly moaned aloud.

However, with her grandfather present, she held it in.

While Dugu Yan absorbed the medicinal power, Ye Qing rubbed his hands and looked toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo had originally been watching his granddaughter's condition in case anything went wrong.

When Ye Qing stared at him like that, he immediately shot him an annoyed glare.

"Why are you staring at this old man with such a lecherous look, brat? Be careful, or I'll poison your eyes blind!"

"Ahem."

Ye Qing coughed dryly and withdrew his burning gaze. "Senior, I wanted to ask whether there is any way to store these immortal herbs."

"..."

The moment he opened his mouth, Dugu Bo knew what this bastard was hinting at.

"Tch."

With an unhappy flick of his hand, he tossed over a small pouch from his waist.

"Take it. This is a Soul Tool capable of storing living things and keeping medicinal herbs fresh—the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch."

Ye Qing caught the Ruyi Hundred Treasure Pouch Dugu Bo had thrown over, and he was overjoyed.

This was the one Tang San had obtained from Dugu Bo!

"Thank you, Senior!"

"Hmph. If you truly want to thank this old man, don't teach Yanyan all sorts of weird nonsense."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo stared darkly at Ye Qing. "For example, that Eighteen Styles of Handling the Old Man. What do you think?"

"Uh..."

Ye Qing immediately felt as though needles were pricking his back under Dugu Bo's green eyes.

Good grief, Yanzi had already told the old man about the eighteen styles?

No wonder the old man had found him displeasing at every turn.
