What Do You Mean You Won Dugu Bo Over?

"Grandpa Dugu, don't be in such a hurry. Let me explain."

"The Ice and Fire Alchemical Body is very important to me, and I'm completely confident in it, so don't worry."

When Yun Chen said this, his tone was exceptionally serious. He did not even look at Dugu Bo, keeping his gaze fixed on the two immortal herbs instead.

Dugu Bo fell silent for a moment. He shot Yun Chen a helpless glance before finally speaking.

"Fine, you little monster. Since you've made up your mind, this old man won't stop you."

"But remember, be careful in all things. You must remain cautious."

"Go ahead and do it. This medicinal garden is yours now, and this old man won't interfere. But let me make one thing clear first."

"This old man still plans to retire here often in the future, so don't turn this place into a marketplace."

Dugu Bo haughtily turned his head away, which suited his character perfectly.

"Mm, thank you, Grandpa Dugu."

Yun Chen's attitude was extremely sincere when he said this. He truly was grateful for Dugu Bo's help.

After all, anyone knew the value of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. Even if Dugu Bo had not understood it before, after hearing Yun Chen's explanation, he had still let go so readily. Yun Chen truly admired him for it.

If it were Yun Chen, he really could not have done the same.

Yun Chen understood his own nature very well. He was not a good person, but he longed for a free life and did not want to be bound.

Of course, if he were being bound by Xue'er, that was another matter.

Mm, Qian Renxue had also learned the Turtle Shell Bondage Yun Chen had taught her, though she had never practiced it on Yun Chen.

"Hmph, who needs you to thank me?"

Dugu Bo gave a soft snort, but a trace of pride was clearly visible on his face. This old fellow was indeed very pleased deep down.

"Mm, I do need the Ice and Fire Alchemical Body, but not right now."

"I still need to explain things to His Highness the Crown Prince. I'll have to ask Grandpa Dugu to lend me a hand."

Dugu Bo raised his eyelids to glance at Yun Chen and spoke flatly.

"How do you need me to help?"

At first, Dugu Bo had wanted to ask what a crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire needed Yun Chen to explain to him for. He could simply send a servant to say a few words.

However, seeing the seriousness in Yun Chen's expression, he swallowed those words and instead asked what help Yun Chen needed.

"It's simple, Grandpa Dugu. You only need to help explain it for me."

"Mm... just say..."

Yun Chen had not yet figured out what to say when Dugu Bo grew impatient. He waved a hand and interrupted him.

"Enough, I understand."

"This old man doesn't need you to teach him what to say."

"I'll say that you're a once-in-a-generation genius, that this old man has taken a liking to you and decided to let you follow me in cultivation for a while. How about it?"

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and looked at Yun Chen beside him.

"That works. No problem."

Yun Chen nodded. There was nothing wrong with Dugu Bo's explanation, and it was only for appearances anyway. The main thing was that he needed to give Qian Renxue an explanation when he returned, otherwise she would throw another tantrum.

"Then let's go."

Dugu Bo nodded. Before Yun Chen could react, he grabbed him in one hand.

Holding him in his grasp, Dugu Bo unleashed terrifying Soul Power downward the next second. The recoil propelled Dugu Bo and Yun Chen skyward at tremendous speed.

"Damn it! Slow down!"

"Time is life. Let's go, brat!"

"Ha ha ha!"

Seeing Yun Chen's disgruntled expression, Dugu Bo felt immensely satisfied.

He laughed loudly, while the movement of his hand did not stop. His Soul Power circulated at high speed as the two of them rushed toward Heaven Dou City at breakneck speed, their destination the Crown Prince's Residence.

At that moment, inside the study, Qian Renxue was still sitting in the same posture. Her expression was growing darker and darker, black as the bottom of a pot.

"Damn it! Bastard!"

"Asshole! Asshole! Asshole! Asshole!"

Qian Renxue's fury was about to burn the world to ashes. If this were an animation, flames would already be rising from her head.

"Yun... Chen..."

"Just wait until I get my hands on you!!!"

Generally speaking, if your mother called you by your full name in such an enraged, word-by-word tone, then you were finished.

Although Qian Renxue was not Yun Chen's mother, she was close enough, ahem... after all... Yun Chen had already done pretty much everything he could do.

"Young Mistress, urgent news."

Outside the door, She Long's voice rang out again.

Qian Renxue steadied herself and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air. Only then did she calm down and speak slowly.

"Come in."

She Long pushed the door open and entered. His steps were hurried, and his face carried a hint of panic.

Qian Renxue's heart skipped a beat as a bad feeling rose within her. She abruptly stood up and looked at She Long, her tone urgent and severe.

"What happened? What's going on?"

"Is it Yun Chen? Did something happen to him?"

"Was it Dugu Bo?"

That string of questions instantly left She Long somewhat stunned, unsure of how to answer. Yet this only made Qian Renxue more anxious.

"Speak! What happened?"

"Young Mistress, Young Master Yun Chen is fine."

The moment she heard that, Qian Renxue's anxious heart finally settled. She released a sigh of relief and slowly sat back down.

"It's good that he's fine. Then why are you in such a hurry?"

The corner of She Long's mouth twitched. Looking at Qian Renxue rubbing her brow in her chair, he felt rather helpless.

You say I'm in a hurry, Young Mistress, but weren't you anxious too?

Naturally, he could only think that to himself. She Long absolutely did not dare say it aloud.

"Dugu Bo is bringing Young Master Yun Chen to the Crown Prince's Residence right now. You should resume your disguise as the Crown Prince."

Only then did She Long reveal the crucial matter. Ci Xue, who was keeping watch near Heaven Dou City, had spotted Dugu Bo's trace and hurriedly sent word.

"Alright, I understand. You may leave first."

After hearing news of Yun Chen, Qian Renxue's mood clearly improved. Her expression was much more relaxed as she spoke.

A dark golden skull bone flashed across Qian Renxue's face. The next moment, her appearance underwent a tremendous change, returning to that of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.

Ever since Yun Chen had arrived, and after the matter involving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Xiao Qing, all the officials and guards within the Crown Prince's Residence had been replaced by undercover agents sent by the Worship Hall.

Moreover, because of Yun Chen, Qian Renxue generally showed her true appearance within the Crown Prince's Residence.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince, that is the situation."

"Let Yun Chen cultivate by my side for a while. I am willing to protect his path."

Dugu Bo sat to one side and spoke to Qian Renxue with a smile, every word conveying his satisfaction with Yun Chen.

Naturally, Dugu Bo had made up the part about them hitting it off at first sight.

Meanwhile, Yun Chen merely kept giving Qian Renxue meaningful looks from the side. Qian Renxue understood immediately and followed Dugu Bo's lead, naturally agreeing to let Yun Chen cultivate with Dugu Bo for a while.

However, Qian Renxue's feelings were somewhat complicated. Yun Chen was escaping her grasp again, but at least this time he had informed her beforehand, which made it barely acceptable.

But what do you mean Dugu Bo is going to protect your path? What do you mean you won Dugu Bo over?

Qian Renxue was even more confused. Whenever her eyes met Yun Chen's, a trace of puzzlement appeared in her gaze.
