Little Golden Fur: "Bibi Han's old flame? I'll break three of his legs!"

"Dugu Yan? How much has your Soul Power increased?"

Hearing Lan Yu's question, the shyness that had just appeared on Dugu Yan's face instantly vanished. She raised her eyebrows, her tone full of excitement and pride, "Level thirty-eight, amazing, right!"

A level thirty-eight Soul Elder at sixteen years old?

Dugu Yan watched Lan Yu stroke his chin, lost in thought, and curiously pressed him.

"What's wrong? Although I can't compare to you, a monster, I'm still far beyond people my age~"

Far beyond people my age? No, Dai Mubai, who indulged in drinking, whoring, and gambling.

"Mhm," Lan Yu nodded slightly, a faint smile on his lips. "It's alright."

Beside them, Dugu Bo stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the two figures with complex emotions. "Fate plays tricks on people! The curse that has plagued my Dugu family for generations is finally broken..."

He suddenly changed the subject and looked at Lan Yu. "By the way, Little Monster, that little girl has also broken through to Soul Elder, right?"

He patted his chest heartily. "If you need to hunt for a Soul Beast, just ask this old man."

"Then I'll trouble you, Old Poison." Lan Yu didn't refuse.

Love-Hate Yin-Yang Well, two days later.

"This old man has returned!"

The three people who were cultivating in a cross-legged position suddenly heard a loud shout from above and opened their eyes, looking up at the sky.

Dugu Bo descended from the sky, carrying a colossal beast thirteen meters long in one hand. He casually tossed it to the ground, shaking it with its impact.

It was a dragon-type Soul Beast covered in dark, corrosive patterns. Its claws were half a foot long, and its breathing was heavy. It was a six-thousand-five-hundred-year-old Devouring Earth-Claw Dragon.

"Little Monster, what do you think of this Soul Beast?"

Dugu Bo kicked the dying Soul Beast, then frowned slightly. "Around six thousand five hundred years old, can that little girl handle it?"

Lan Yu didn't answer directly. He turned his head and rubbed the hair of the girl beside him. "Xiao Shan, what do you think?"

"Brother, let me try. I've eaten ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber," Tang Shan stood on tiptoe, leaning against Lan Yu, her head raised as she whispered into his ear.

The girl's face was flushed, and her body trembled slightly, as if recalling something.

"Don't force yourself," Lan Yu extended his index finger and tapped her nose.

Dugu Yan, standing beside them, watched their intimate display as if no one else were present. Her eyebrows furrowed tighter and tighter, and she finally couldn't help but speak, "Lan Yu, are you really letting your sister take such a big risk?"

In the eyes of a local Douluo like Dugu Yan, the best age for a third Soul Ring was just over a thousand years.

Lan Yu's own three thousand-year Soul Rings were already astonishing exceptions, not something that could be replicated.

Even after consuming a miracle-like immortal herb, her fundamental understanding remained the same.

Lan Yu glanced at her indifferently, chuckled, and shook his head, as if to placate her. "I believe in her."

He was too lazy to explain too much to the people of Douluo.

With two top-tier immortal herbs as a foundation, plus the tempering of ten-thousand-year Whale Rubber, if she couldn't even absorb the Soul Ring of a Soul Beast less than six thousand years old, he would have to properly train little Tang Shan!

Tang Shan, who had walked to the Devouring Earth-Claw Dragon, suddenly shivered. A thought immediately arose in her mind: if she successfully absorbed this Soul Beast's Soul Ring, she would regret it.

Suppressing the thought, Tang Shan acted decisively.

Tiandou City, Crown Prince's Mansion.

Qian Renxue, unusually, did not maintain her Xue Qinghe disguise today. Dressed in a plain white dress, she stood by the window, her golden hair fluttering in the wind.

Two dark figures appeared silently behind her. Snake Lance and Pufferfish knelt on one knee, a hint of fear in their voices. "Young Master."

"Have you found them?"

Qian Renxue did not turn around, her voice betraying no emotion.

"Replying to Young Master, after investigation, Lan Yu and Tang Shan returned to Lanya Pavilion after parting ways with you, and only left for Heaven Dou Academy in the evening. On the way..."

"What happened on the way?" Qian Renxue's hand, gripping the window frame, tightened slightly. She asked coldly.

"They disappeared." Snake Lance and Pufferfish both lowered their heads.

"Disappeared?"

Qian Renxue finally turned around, her beautiful eyes filled with coldness. "You two Title Douluo, after searching for a whole day, all you have for me is the word 'disappeared'?"

This...

Snake Lance and Pufferfish exchanged a quick glance as they lowered their heads and said in unison, "Young Master, please calm your anger."

"Calm my anger?"

Qian Renxue slammed her palm onto the window frame, which cracked instantly. "No sight of them, no body found, how can you ask me to calm my anger!"

She had finally encountered a man whose talent surpassed hers, and Qian Renxue couldn't help but feel a trace of admiration for strength and a desire for control.

The two looked at each other, not daring to breathe.

Damn it, even Title Douluo had to act like grandchildren to her, boohoo~

Seeing the atmosphere gradually stiffen, Pufferfish racked his brains until he suddenly looked up, as if recalling something, and hurriedly replied, "Young Mistress! On the path Lan Yu took to return, I vaguely sensed the residual Soul Power of a poison-attribute Title Douluo.

Furthermore, Dugu Bo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan, has not attended Heaven Dou Academy for two consecutive days."

Qian Renxue's delicate brows furrowed slightly as she said in a deep voice, "You mean... they were taken away by Dugu Bo?"

She turned and sat back down in her chair, her jade fingers pressing lightly against her temple. "The motive?"

Pufferfish hurriedly nudged Snake Lance, who was standing beside him, with his elbow.

Snake Lance understood immediately; he looked up, cupped his fists, and spoke in a tone that sounded quite serious.

"Young Mistress, after Lan Yu enrolled, he once had a conflict with Yu Tianheng over the position of captain of the Heaven Dou Team. Your subordinate believes the issue lies with Yu Tianheng."

"Who won?" Qian Renxue suddenly asked.

"Lan Yu fought six alone and won completely!"

"As expected of the man I have my eye on." Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes shimmered, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly.

"Yu Tianheng?"

Qian Renxue repeated the name, then suddenly let out a scoff. "That grandson of Yu Yuanzhen?"

Thirty-three levels of Soul Power at sixteen—what kind of trash talent is that?

"However, what does Yu Tianheng's business have to do with Dugu Bo?" Qian Renxue asked, puzzled.

"Young Mistress, you may not know."

Pufferfish hurriedly added, "The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is currently suffering from a lack of successors and relies entirely on Yu Yuanzhen, a single Title Douluo, to hold them up. They have long wanted to recruit the unaffiliated Dugu Bo.

Since Yu Tianheng is Yu Yuanzhen's direct grandson and has been intentionally courting Dugu Yan, it is likely he holds a grudge against Lan Yu and specifically begged Dugu Bo to take revenge."

The two of them were unaware of the flaws in the Jade Phosphor Snake martial soul, so they simply traded words, rounding out the story until it sounded quite plausible.

"How arrogant!"

"A mere Jade Phosphor Snake, why seek your own destruction!"

Qian Renxue slammed the table and stood up, cold light flashing in her beautiful eyes. "Snake Lance, Pufferfish!"

"Your subordinate is here!"

"Depart immediately and capture Dugu Bo for me!"

Huh?! The two of us are going to take on Dugu Bo?

The momentum the two had just built up instantly withered, and they stood frozen in place, looking at each other.

"What, is there a problem? Isn't Dugu Bo the weakest Title Douluo?"

Qian Renxue questioned.

"Reporting to Young Mistress... Dugu Bo is elusive, and the two of us truly do not know his whereabouts."

Snake Lance replied, biting the bullet.

He is the weakest, but he is capable of slaughtering a sect until only the strongest remains.

Qian Renxue's delicate brows furrowed, and the disappointment in her eyes was undisguised.

Seeing this, Snake Lance hurriedly spoke up, "However, Young Mistress, if we cannot find Dugu Bo, we can start by taking it out on the people from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

"Who from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is in Tiandou City?"

Qian Renxue picked up the teacup on the table, her fingers idly tracing the rim.

"Yu Yuanzhen's younger brother, Yu Luomian."

"Yu Luomian's illegitimate daughter, Liu Erlong."

"Yu Yuanzhen's son, Yu Xiaogang."

"Yu Xiaogang?! That person Bibi Han is always muttering about?!"

Qian Renxue's beautiful eyes suddenly narrowed as she stared at Snake Lance, questioning him word for word.

Snake Lance did not know how to answer, so he simply lowered his head imperceptibly.

"Heh... break both of Yu Luomian's legs!"

Qian Renxue's tone was flat, and after she finished speaking, she revealed a sinister smile. "Break all three of Yu Xiaogang's legs!"
