All Right, I Agree

"This should be the Aromatic Silk Beauty, right? It's so beautiful. As expected of the king of immortal herbs..."

"And this one over here, the black bamboo—is it the Black Jade Divine Bamboo? It feels really nice to the touch."

"This is the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd? The top-tier existence among earth attributes. What a shame, I don't have an earth-attribute martial soul."

"What a pity, what a pity. These immortal herbs haven't become fierce beasts yet. If they had all become fierce beasts, their spirit rings would be extremely compatible with my Senzu Bean Martial Soul..."

Dugu Bo vaguely heard a burst of muttering. The voice was extremely illusory, like the wind; just as he tried to make it out clearly, it slipped away from beside his ear.

Who was talking?

A question flashed through his mind, and then a handsome, striking face suddenly appeared in Dugu Bo's head. Startled, he subconsciously opened his eyes.

"Senior Dugu, you're awake."

A cheerful voice came from beside him.

Dugu Bo turned his head with difficulty and saw Lin Bei holding an Emerald Snake between his fingers, smiling at him.

Dugu Bo's expression looked awful.

He remembered now—

Not long ago, he had lost to this child!

And it was after he had used every trick he had and fought with all his strength that he had lost to this child!

Damn it!

Could you freaking follow some basic rules? You're only twelve and already this strong—how are old men like us supposed to live?

"Since this old man has lost, kill me or cut me up as you please!"

Dugu Bo pulled a long face and snorted.

He was a Titled Douluo, after all. He had his dignity!

Lin Bei set the Emerald Snake down, and the little snake immediately slithered toward Dugu Bo at great speed. It was obvious that it was terrified of Lin Bei.

"When did I ever say I wanted to kill you, Senior? I'm a good person. Please don't slander me recklessly, Senior."

Lin Bei smiled, then suddenly flicked a bean from his hand toward Dugu Bo.

Dugu Bo's injuries were extremely severe. At that moment, his muscles and bones were all broken, and he couldn't move at all. He could only watch helplessly as the bean landed on his lips.

Lin Bei's technique was incredibly precise.

The bean landed squarely between Dugu Bo's two lips.

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Bei, his eyes furious, and was just about to blow the bean away when Lin Bei suddenly said lightly, "If you want to live, or if you want to save your granddaughter, then obediently eat it."

When Dugu Bo heard Lin Bei mention his granddaughter, he grew even angrier, but because he was worried about his granddaughter's life, he still opened his mouth and ate the bean.

After eating the bean, Dugu Bo shouted angrily, "You little bastard, if you dare do anything to my granddaughter... Hm?"

Halfway through, he suddenly felt that something was off.

Wait!

How had all his injuries healed?

Dugu Bo stood up and examined his body in surprise.

He discovered that his body—

Not only had all the injuries he had just received completely healed.

The toxins that had accumulated inside him for many years had all vanished as well.

And the disappearance of the toxins had not caused his cultivation to disappear along with them.

His current body was even better than before he had been beaten up!

What did this kid make me eat?

Dugu Bo looked at Lin Bei in surprise and asked, "Kid, what is the meaning of this?"

"Testing medicine."

Lin Bei shrugged and looked at Dugu Bo with an innocent expression. "I didn't know whether my Senzu Bean would work on your toxins either, but from the look of things, the toxins in your body have already disappeared, Senior."

After a pause, Lin Bei glanced at Dugu Bo and continued, "Senior's granddaughter should be the same as you. Because of the flaw in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, toxins have been accumulating in her body all this time, right?"

Dugu Bo frowned. "How do you know about the flaw in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul?"

"Heh, Senior. Take a look at who I am." Lin Bei pointed at himself and chuckled. "I'm the Holy Son of Spirit Hall."

When it came to research on martial souls, if Spirit Hall claimed to be number one under heaven, no one would dare object.

Even Yu Xiaogang, that master of martial soul theory research, studied martial souls using classics that Spirit Hall had collected and organized.

That knowledge was inside Spirit Hall, and as the Holy Son, Lin Bei had plenty of opportunities to understand and research it.

Of course, the reason he knew about the flaw of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent was because he had read the original novel.

Only then did Dugu Bo remember Lin Bei's identity. He raised an eyebrow. This little bastard was not only a Titled Douluo, he was also the Holy Son of Spirit Hall.

Dugu Bo was not surprised that Spirit Hall had researched the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul.

In that case, Lin Bei could clearly understand the flaw in the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul, and he could make sense of it.

"What exactly are you trying to do, kid?"

Dugu Bo's eyes flickered as he looked at Lin Bei and asked.

"As you can see, Senior, my Immortal Beans can heal the toxins produced by the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."

Lin Bei looked at Dugu Bo with a smile. "Senior, you wouldn't want to see your granddaughter suffer the same pain as you, would you?"

"You like my granddaughter, kid?"

Lin Bei: "..."

Although I know I'm very handsome, became a Titled Douluo at only twelve years old, and am also the Holy Son of Spirit Hall, still—

"She's so pretty even I like her."

"Good. I agree."

"???" Lin Bei's head was full of question marks. "Senior, what are you agreeing to?"

I haven't even stated my condition yet.

What exactly are you agreeing to?

"I agree to marry Yan Er to you," Dugu Bo said with a perfectly serious expression.

Lin Bei: "..."

If I remember correctly, your granddaughter is already twenty-one years old now.

I'm twelve!

You won't even spare a twelve-year-old little shota?

Mm, that's right. Although my body is already shaped like a young man's, my age is still that of a little shota—

Nothing wrong with that.

"Ahem, Senior, that isn't the condition I wanted to raise. I just want this treasure land." Lin Bei covered his mouth and coughed twice before speaking.

When Dugu Bo heard that, his expression turned somewhat disappointed. "That's it?"

He seemed deeply disappointed that he had failed to marry his granddaughter off to Lin Bei.

Seeing Dugu Bo's expression, Lin Bei could not help roasting him inwardly:

Hey, do you want to marry your granddaughter to me that badly?

Although if you really wanted to, I could accept it. After all, I do love older women.

But your granddaughter should already have someone she likes, right?

A melon twisted off the vine isn't sweet.

There are so many beauties in this world. If I really fell in love with every one I saw, I might as well switch to some little website and write the kind of content everyone loves to read!

As for now...

Don't love me. It won't end well.

Bro is only a legend!

Lin Bei looked at Dugu Bo solemnly and said, "That's right. I only want this treasure land. I hope Senior Dugu can part with it."

If you won't part with it, we'll just have another fight.

After beating you for a while, I'm sure you'll be willing.

Receiving Lin Bei's extremely aggressive gaze, as though if he refused, the kid would beat him up again, the corner of Dugu Bo's mouth twitched.

Damn brat, no martial virtue at all.

Got addicted to beating up old people, have you?

This old man will just—

"Fine. From now on, this place is yours."

Dugu Bo said calmly.

This herb garden had originally been used to suppress the toxins in his body, which was why he had been reluctant to give it to Lin Bei. Now that the toxins had been cleared away by Lin Bei's Immortal Beans, Dugu Bo no longer cared about a mere little herb garden.

"In that case, this junior thanks Senior here. This is a token of gratitude."

The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was finally in his hands.

Lin Bei smiled faintly, took a small bottle from his Soul Tool, and handed it to Dugu Bo.

When Dugu Bo saw the ten Immortal Beans inside the bottle, he nodded in satisfaction, then clasped his hands behind his back and asked, "Kid, do you want me to set up the outer Poison Array again for you, to prevent some soul beasts from barging in here?"

The Poison Array he had set up before had already been split open by Lin Bei's axe. At the moment, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well had no protection at all and was exposed before every soul beast.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Senior."

Lin Bei cupped his hands in salute.

Giving away those ten Immortal Beans was not a loss. Not only had he obtained the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, he had also gained Dugu Bo's help.

Without Dugu Bo's Poison Array, Lin Bei really wouldn't have known how to protect the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

Looks like this old man isn't holding that beating I just gave him against me anymore.

Mm. If he is...

Worst comes to worst, I'll just beat him up again.

What, you're saying I don't respect the old or care for the young?

Look at Dugu Bo—now that the poison is gone, his hair has turned black, and he looks like a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties. And you're telling me he's old?

He may be old in years, but his body is still young. It wouldn't be too much to call him a young man, right?

So it's not that I don't respect the old or care for the young—

Of course, that was just a joke.

After the battle just now, Dugu Bo had gained a profound understanding of Lin Bei's strength. As a magnanimous adult, he wouldn't hold a child's offense against him. So what if he'd been beaten up?

It wasn't as if he had never been beaten before.

For soul masters, winning and losing were perfectly normal.

Everyone should just forget that battle completely. Otherwise, be careful when you sleep tonight—this old man might put snakes in your blankets!
