Granddaughter, Go for it! Grandpa's Rest of His Life Depends on You!

Dugu Bo had built himself a small courtyard some three or four hundred meters away from the spring of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

It had everything from pots and pans to utensils, and even some supplies he had left behind not long ago.

There was not much meat, but there was enough to eat, enough to ensure they would not starve to death.

Sea Dragon Douluo and Sea Maiden Douluo followed close behind, joining Dugu Bo in bustling about the courtyard.

Meanwhile, Huang Long took the opportunity to remove Ah Yin from his storage Soul Tool and plant her near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

"The energy here is very dense. Absorb as much as you can and recover your cultivation."

"Thank you, Dragon God, my lord."

Ah Yin gently swayed her branches, expressing her gratitude.

Xiao Wu crouched beside her and giggled. "Aunt Ah Yin, recover well. Then we'll help you get revenge together!"

"..."

Ah Yin did not know whether to laugh or cry.

The Dragon God, my lord, had only made a guess. Why was this little rabbit in such a hurry?

At that moment, Dugu Yan saw the two of them gathered around a stalk of Blue Silver Grass and curiously came over.

"Huang Long, why are you two crowding around an ordinary stalk of Blue Silver Grass?"

Xiao Wu turned to her speechlessly. "Where exactly do you see Aunt Ah Yin being ordinary?"

Dugu Yan tilted her head slightly, looking even more puzzled.

Putting aside the fact that it was clearly just an ordinary stalk of Blue Silver Grass...

Why had this little girl given a name to a plant, and even called it auntie?

Huang Long said, "This isn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass. It's a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor. It merely suffered an unfortunate incident twelve years ago, which is why it became like this."

"What?! Another Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast?" Dugu Yan was instantly shocked.

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes impatiently and said irritably, "Why are you making such a fuss? Haven't you seen a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast before?"

Dugu Yan choked, her expression complicated as she looked at Xiao Wu.

The way she said it made it sound as though she really had seen one before.

Not only had she never seen a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast, even her grandfather had never seen one in his entire life, alright?

"What are you saying?"

Huang Long helplessly and amusedly tapped Xiao Wu on the forehead, then turned to Dugu Yan. "Don't mind her. This girl just has a skewed perception."

Xiao Wu rubbed the spot he had tapped and pouted aggrievedly.

Dugu Yan gave a dry laugh, then moved closer to Huang Long with a puzzled look on her face.

"So, did you two know each other back on Devil Island?"

"It's Sea God Island."

Huang Long corrected her speechlessly. "Devil Island is merely what people from the mainland call our Sea God Island."

"Alright... Sea God Island." Dugu Yan smiled awkwardly and quickly corrected herself.

Seeing that her attitude was fairly good, Huang Long nodded in satisfaction.

"Ever since I could remember, I've always stayed on Sea God Island, including when my martial soul awakened."

"And Xiao Wu had lived in the Star Dou Great Forest since childhood. We only met recently, after I left Sea God Island."

After he finished speaking, Dugu Yan continued asking, "Then how did you cultivate all these years? How did you become so strong?"

"Perhaps it's just talent." Huang Long laughed.

But that answer did not satisfy Dugu Yan. Instead, she rewarded him with a huge eye roll.

Seeing her roll her eyes, Huang Long laughed even louder. This time, however, he did not dodge the question and directly told Dugu Yan about his cultivation experiences over the years.

Especially when Dugu Yan wanted to know why his soul ring configuration could begin with a thousand-year soul ring, and why his third soul ring could already be ten thousand years old.

He did not hesitate to tell Dugu Yan everything about Whale Rubber.

After all, they would all be on the same side in the future. There was no need to hide such things from her.

And when Dugu Yan learned that Whale Rubber could actually temper the body's strength, her entire worldview completely shattered.

In her impression, Whale Rubber was something nobles used as an aphrodisiac.

How had it become a treasure capable of tempering the body's strength in Huang Long's hands?

Xiao Wu asked curiously, "Dragon God, my lord, if I eat Whale Rubber, can I start with a ten-thousand-year soul ring when I condense my third soul ring later?"

"How could it be that easy?"

Huang Long smiled and rubbed the top of Xiao Wu's head. "Whale Rubber can temper the body's strength, but it has to be done gradually. Excessive tempering can make your body explode."

"Ah!"

After hearing this, Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu's faces instantly turned pale.

Huang Long also took out two portions of Whale Rubber from his storage Soul Tool and placed them before the two girls.

"These are two portions of five-thousand-year Whale Rubber, just enough to reach the limit your bodies can withstand."

"I'll tell you how to take them later."

Xiao Wu picked up her portion of Whale Rubber, immediately delighted. "Thank you, Lord Dragon God!"

"Thank you." Dugu Yan also picked up the other portion of Whale Rubber and softly expressed her thanks.

Looking at Huang Long now, she found him far more pleasing to the eye than before.

Not only was he handsome, but he was also so strong and knew so much theory.

He was vastly better than that Yu Tianheng from the academy who chased after her every day!

Just as her thoughts began to wander.

Dugu Bo's voice suddenly called out from afar, "Holy Son, the meal is ready!"

"Coming." Huang Long immediately got to his feet.

But someone moved even faster than he did—Xiao Wu.

The instant Dugu Bo's voice rang out, she shot off with a whoosh.

"Are there carrots? I want carrots!"

Huang Long and Dugu Yan were both left speechless by that astonishing speed.

"She..."

"Such a little foodie."

Huang Long smiled helplessly, then invited her, "Come on, let's go get something to eat too."

Dugu Yan nodded lightly, then followed Huang Long toward Dugu Bo and the others.

"Grandpa, what delicious food did you make today?" The moment Dugu Yan reached Dugu Bo, she asked impatiently.

"Nothing special, just threw together a few things."

Dugu Bo chuckled, then suddenly grabbed his granddaughter by the arm and dragged her forty or fifty meters away.

Dugu Yan was completely baffled by her grandfather's actions and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, what are you doing?"

"Shh!"

Dugu Bo suddenly raised a finger, then turned to glance at Huang Long. Only after confirming that he was not paying attention did he lean close to Dugu Yan's ear.

"How did your... conversation go just now?"

Dugu Yan still looked utterly confused. "What do you mean, how did it go?"

Dugu Bo rolled his eyes at her and asked, "I mean, what do you think of Huang Long as a person?"

Dugu Yan blinked and answered honestly, "He's pretty good. At the very least, he's quite handsome, and his talent and strength are both impressive."

"More than impressive! He's much stronger than that kid from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!"

The person Dugu Bo meant was Yu Tianheng.

Yu Tianheng was also a genius of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and his martial soul was even the top-tier beast martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon.

But compared to Huang Long, there was simply no comparison!

Dugu Bo smiled. "Yan Yan, you're not that young anymore. You need to work hard!"

"Look at that little girl Xiao Wu. She sticks to his side every single moment."

"And you, Yan Yan—you're no less pretty than her, and you have a better figure too. Why should you lose to her?"

As he spoke, he raised a hand and patted Dugu Yan on the shoulder, speaking earnestly. "Whether Grandpa can enjoy a peaceful retirement in the second half of his life depends entirely on you."

By this point, how could Dugu Yan possibly not understand what her grandfather meant?

Her face instantly flushed red. "Grandpa, what are you talking about?!"
