What are you smacking your lips for?
Wang Dong'er's eyes widened.
Could it be...
With no way to repay the life-saving grace, she could only offer herself in marriage?
Dugu Yan, truly a comrade.
Without the slightest hesitation, Dugu Yan's kiss landed on Wang Dong'er's face.
The touch was warm, the emotions intense.
Her eyes were as tender as water, and Wang Dong'er felt as if Dugu Yan wanted to entrust herself to her.
And Dugu Bo...
Wang Dong'er looked to her side immediately. He had already vanished.
She had thought Dugu Bo would angrily scold this situation, but she never expected Dugu Bo, who was known for his poison, to actually choose to flee. What a coward.
Was he not afraid of something truly unexpected happening?
Or was it...
Even if Dugu Bo pushed Dugu Yan onto her, he wouldn't want Yu Tianheng to succeed...
The previous second, Dugu Bo had just complained about his dissatisfaction with the Blue Tyrant Dragon Sect, not wanting to see Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng get together.
Now, they had just returned home, and Dugu Yan had pounced on her, throwing herself into her arms.
Wang Dong'er couldn't help but suspect that these two had set a trap for her.
It was truly chilling to think about.
"I'm sorry, I don't know how to thank you, so I can only give you my most precious first kiss. From now on, Dong'er will be my family..."
Dugu Yan said seriously, her face not blushing and her heart not skipping a beat, as if nothing had just happened.
"Your first kiss? That's very valuable."
Wang Dong'er calmly moved away the pair of jade hands that had landed on her waist and were gently pinching.
If Dugu Yan were allowed to continue her antics, her legs would probably go soft.
"It's not valuable. If you want, I can continue."
Dugu Yan said with a serious expression, and was about to continue to kiss and touch Wang Dong'er.
"No, senior sister." Wang Dong'er quickly pulled away and said, "Let's talk about how much you've improved after absorbing the detoxification pill, senior sister. Has your martial soul evolved?"
"My soul power has broken through to rank 45 Soul Elder, an increase of a full eight ranks!"
"However, my martial soul did not evolve."
Dugu Yan said with a tone of disappointment.
"My martial soul is too poor. It's just an ordinary Jade Phosphor Serpent, not a Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor. The Earth Dragon Bloodline in the detoxification pill did not cause my martial soul to transform..."
"What about senior sister Ye Lingling?"
"Lingling's soul power broke through to rank 43 after she hunted her soul ring. She's also very grateful to you," Dugu Yan said, taking out a "cloth bag" from her soul tool.
"This is a thank-you gift from Lingling's grandfather, senior Ye Renxin."
"He said that although these herbs are not as precious as immortal herbs, as long as you need help, senior Ye Renxin will do his best to assist you."
Wang Dong'er took the cloth bag from Dugu Yan's hand. It was a soul tool, similar to Dugu Bo's Wishful Hundred Treasure Pouch, capable of storing living things. The herbs stored within were extremely rare.
After all, they came from the hands of the most powerful healing soul masters on the Douluo Continent. The quality of the herbs was likely no less than those grown in the Yin-Yang Well.
"Since it's senior Ye Renxin's kind gesture, I will accept it."
After breakfast.
Wang Dong'er and Dugu Yan took a carriage to the Royal Academy.
The academy was still empty, with only the training room of the Imperial Fighting Team echoing with the sounds of training.
"Wang Dong'er, Dugu Yan. Where did you two go? Why did you leave for so many days without a word? Do you not take me, your team leader, seriously?"
Upon seeing the two, Qin Ming strode forward and stopped them outside the training room.
His expression was stern, and he was furious about Wang Dong'er and Dugu Yan's unexplained absence these past few days.
Feeling guilty, the two were about to explain when Qin Ming suddenly exclaimed.
"Your aura..."
After all, he was a Soul Emperor, and the changes in the two's auras were keenly captured by him.
"I can understand Wang Dong'er breaking through to Soul Grandmaster, but Dugu Yan, you... how did you break through to Soul Elder in just a few days!?"
Immortal herbs, detoxification.
These two matters absolutely could not be revealed to the outside world.
Faced with Qin Ming's question, Dugu Yan was clearly flustered, not knowing how to answer.
Wang Dong'er pondered for a moment. With her strength having advanced by leaps and bounds, and her own third soul ring being a black ten-thousand-year one, any lie she fabricated in this situation would be feeble.
Just then, the Nether Sky trembled, and a gale swept through the Royal Academy.
A green, ghostly light descended from the sky as Poison Douluo Dugu Bo arrived with the imposing pressure of a Title Douluo.
"Junior Qin Ming pays respects to Poison Douluo."
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Ming's forehead as he immediately bowed respectfully.
Meng Shenji, a member of the academy's education committee, rushed out of his office in a panic.
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo, please forgive this junior, Meng Shenji, for failing to welcome you properly."
Dugu Bo ignored the two of them, merely casting a faint glance their way before turning to lead Wang Dong'er and the other girl toward the dean's office.
In the education committee office.
Dugu Bo went straight to the point.
"Meng Shenji, as a Soul Douluo, you can naturally perceive the changes in these two juniors of mine."
"I can even tell you that the age of Wang Dong'er's third soul ring is extraordinary."
"I am telling you this only to give you some face due to your position on the committee. As for the rest, do not ask, otherwise... hehehe."
Meng Shenji stood respectfully to one side, his back already soaked in cold sweat.
Dugu Bo's tone was indifferent, and he even offered a "friendly" smile, but the pressure emanating from his soul made Meng Shenji feel uncontrollable fear.
When they last met, Wang Dong'er was only a level 29 Great Soul Master, and Dugu Yan was a level 35 Soul Elder.
In just a few short days, Wang Dong'er had reached level 35 and Dugu Yan level 45. Such a rate of advancement was undoubtedly shocking.
Whether they had absorbed some soul bone or used some secret technique to rapidly increase their cultivation, it was impossible to know.
No wonder Dugu Bo had come in person to seal his lips...
As for Wang Dong'er's third soul ring... Dugu Bo hadn't specified, but it must be... beyond reason.
Meng Shenji secretly guessed based on his experience. By the time he regained his senses, Dugu Bo had already vanished, yet he still bowed respectfully to the empty air: "Respectfully sending off Your Excellency Poison Douluo."
He held the bowing posture for a few seconds before turning to look at Wang Dong'er and Dugu Yan.
"Your Excellency Poison Douluo's cultivation has improved once again."
He panted heavily, raising a hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.
"Committee member Meng Shenji, if there is nothing else, the two of us will return to cultivate."
"Dugu Yan, you go back first. By the way, tell team leader Qin Ming to come over," Meng Shenji said. "As for Wang Dong'er, wait a moment. The person in charge of the Royal Academy wishes to see you. Please sit and stay for a while."
After waiting in the office for less than a few minutes, he saw Meng Shenji, who had left in a hurry, return with a golden-haired young man.
The man was dressed in luxurious attire and carried himself with elegance, his presence exuding a noble and refined temperament.
Meng Shenji followed respectfully at the young man's side. Wang Dong'er guessed that this person must be some noble or a member of the royal family.
So the question was, what did a royal noble want with her?
