Moving House

In the end, Yu Yuan did not refuse the plan Xiao Kong had offered.

After all, it did sound pretty good. He could just use the turtle shell for experiments first; whether it worked was another matter.

Once Xiao Kong had finally finished calculating all the data, Yu Yuan went outside and used his largest storage soul tool to put away the turtle shell.

Then he discovered that Dugu Bo was wiping everyone's memories.

Just kidding.

He was merely making them keep Yu Yuan's combat strength a secret.

And with the Poison Douluo speaking up, things naturally went very smoothly.

Looking at Liu Erlong, who was still unconscious, Yu Yuan could not help thinking of Yu Xiaogang.

The Golden Sacred Dragon bloodline within him was far weaker than the Dragon King's.

Thinking of his blood-refining method, Yu Yuan contacted Xiao Kong in his mind.

"Xiao Kong, do you think that if you fatten up a pig, you can slaughter it a second time?"

The group soon returned to Heaven Dou City, said their goodbyes, and went their separate ways.

Meanwhile, a farce was unfolding at Dugu Estate.

"No, no, you can't, Yan Yan. Can you really bear to leave Grandpa here alone and helpless?"

Dugu Bo blocked the front gate, stopping Dugu Yan as she carried her luggage.

Why?

Hadn't you all become capable of ignoring me?

Why were you still moving out?

"Mm, probably because Grandpa is too troublesome."

Dugu Yan bluntly said something incredibly hurtful.

She truly felt that her grandfather greatly interfered with her performance.

Not to mention anything else, sometimes she did not even dare to moan too loudly.

"Waaah."

Dugu Bo was defeated.

He could not accept this!

Just as Yu Yuan, who had been watching from the side, was about to comfort him, he noticed Dugu Yan repeatedly signaling at him with her eyes.

He understood.

The foot he had stepped forward with withdrew again.

Sorry, I can't help you.

"Grandpa, stop pretending already, okay?"

Dugu Yan would not let him stand in the way of her path toward happiness.

Besides, if she did not move in with him...

What if someone stole her home one day? What would she do then?

She was a woman who wanted every opponent to help push.

The first one!

"Cough, cough. I'm just reluctant to let you go. Besides, once you all leave, this old man will be very lonely."

He had clearly gained a grandson-in-law, so why was he instead becoming a lonely old man?

Dugu Bo was deeply confused.

"And Yu Yuan's house might not even be big enough."

Wouldn't that be perfect?

If the house were smaller, wouldn't she have an excuse to sleep with Yu Yuan?

Grandpa really did not understand at all.

"Alright, Grandpa, stop talking. I'm definitely going. At worst, I'll just come back to visit you more often, okay?"

Dugu Yan could no longer wait.

Heaven Dou Academy was about to start school, and only a few days remained of her break.

If she did not take advantage of these days to indulge herself properly with Yu Yuan, she would not have nearly as much time once school began.

Maybe I should drop out after I trick Ling Ling into bed. Yu Yuan can teach me anyway if I stay with him.

I heard that studying while doing that kind of thing can improve learning efficiency.

Otherwise, why would anyone study foreign languages in bed?

Thus, Dugu Yan dragged Yu Yuan away.

In the end, only one lonely old man remained in the estate.

But Dugu Bo suddenly curled his lips into a smile.

The plan had worked!

As long as Yan Yan lived together with Yu Yuan, no one else would have the chance to join them.

He would also get to hold a great-grandson sooner.

Don't blame me.

Poor Yu Yuan had barely returned home before Dugu Yan dragged him into a round of exercise.

Unfortunately, her stamina was not strong enough, and she was the one who collapsed in the end.

Looking at Dugu Yan sprawled limply across the bed, Yu Yuan decided to prepare dinner for her.

Yet she somehow gathered herself and followed him into the kitchen, intending to make another move.

Yu Yuan suppressed her on the spot.

After spending a very pleasant week together, Dugu Yan had no choice but to return to the academy.

Naturally, Yu Yuan did not come with her.

Upon arriving at the academy, Dugu Yan immediately found Ye Lingling, who wore a veil.

After a week of torment, she had once again confirmed how necessary outside support was.

Tonight, I'll trick Ling Ling into coming back with me.

"Yan Zi, what's wrong with you?"

Ye Lingling looked curiously at her close friend with her cool, clear eyes.

How should she put it?

They had only been apart for one break.

Yet her close friend seemed to have matured.

An indescribable charm lingered between her brows and in her eyes.

If she had to describe it, she was like a beautiful snake that sucked away people's vital essence.

"Mm? Nothing's wrong."

Dugu Yan hooked her arm around Ye Lingling's, preventing her from running away.

"I just found myself a partner."

Oh, so she found a man.

Wait!

After realizing what she meant, Ye Lingling stared at her close friend in disbelief.

Not sisters.

Weren't you still alone before the break?

You stuck to me every day. I was practically starting to think you had that kind of orientation.

And now you were telling me that you had transformed over a single vacation?

An enormous, incomprehensible gulf had appeared between us.

Ye Lingling suddenly felt sad.

No way, Yan Zi found someone so quickly?

What about me?

Her martial soul had a flaw: only two Nine-Heart Begonia soul masters could exist at the same time, so she would probably have a hard time finding a suitable partner.

Dugu Yan had originally been there for them to rely on each other, yet she had unexpectedly abandoned her.

"Who is it?"

Ye Lingling did not notice that her tone had become a little stiff. After all, she truly cared about her friend's love life.

"Ling Ling, you don't know him. He's a younger boy I only met during the break."

Dugu Yan pretended not to hear the tone in her voice. She had to find a way to make Ling Ling jump into the trap herself first.

"You met him during the break!"

That meant they had known each other for at most two months?

Wasn't that way too fast?

And he was actually younger? Dugu Yan, how old were you again?

You actually went through with it!

Just how desperate were you?!

Ye Lingling's pupils shook as she began imagining what he looked like.

Could Yan Zi be into that sort of thing?

Ye Lingling was filled with guilt.

No, no, I'm overthinking it. Yan Zi shouldn't be that bad.

Otherwise, that would be too terrifying.

"Um, how old is he?"

"Mm? Maybe only eight?"

You beast!

Ye Lingling, who had barely managed to remain calm, began struggling violently.

She was going to draw a clear line between herself and the woman beside her!

"Don't panic."

After her martial soul evolved, Dugu Yan could easily restrain Ye Lingling, who was from the healing line.

"I was just joking. He's about the same age as me."

After all, the best growth period on Douluo Continent lasted until the age of twenty, so Yu Yuan would rapidly grow into adulthood before his aging slowed down.

Perhaps after another year, Yu Yuan's bone age would be older than Dugu Yan's.

"Don't make jokes like that."

Ye Lingling had been frightened badly. She had thought her friend really had...

"Is it really okay? You've only known each other for such a short time, after all."

Ye Lingling still cared deeply about her friend.

"Hehe, then why don't you come meet him with me tonight, Ling Ling?"

"At night?"

"That's right. I moved out."

"You're beyond saving."

"That's why I need my good sister to help me check him over."

"...Fine."

The plan had worked!
