Dugu Yan: What Do You Mean My Grandpa Turned into a White-Haired Beauty?

After that thought surfaced in his mind, Jiang Xuan immediately had some bold ideas.

But considering that those ideas might affect his public image, he could only suppress them for now before feigning surprise.

"Th-this... what is going on? I remember that the side effect of my pill only made a person's body shrink from large to small. It shouldn't have changed someone's sex..."

The main reason he said this was that he absolutely could not let Chen Xin see that he had known beforehand that the Soul-Gathering Pill had the side effect of turning men into women.

Hearing Jiang Xuan's answer, Dugu Bo was dumbfounded as well.

What did he mean, the pill had been refined by him, but he did not know it had such a side effect?

Did she look like someone who was that easy to fool?

Dugu Bo instinctively wanted to fly into a rage, but when she turned her head, she saw that sword cultivator still watching her coldly.

Forget it. She really was easy to fool.

It was obvious that they had done this on purpose. If she failed to read the situation and stubbornly argued over every little thing, she probably would not end up well.

Just as the helpless Dugu Bo was about to compromise, a clear, youthful voice unique to a young girl suddenly came from outside the valley.

"Grandpa! Why have all the Jade-Scale Seven-Extinction Flowers you planted been burned? Did enemies invade, or did you have some other idea in mind?"

Upon hearing this, everyone present turned toward the valley entrance in unspoken agreement.

It took Dugu Bo two seconds to realize that the voice seemed to belong to her granddaughter, Dugu Yan!

Oh no, how had she forgotten about that?

Because of the flaw in the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, Dugu Bo had to use her powerful Soul Power every so often to help her granddaughter Dugu Yan suppress the snake venom's erosion of her body. Today happened to be the day she was supposed to do so.

She could barely come up with an explanation for why the Jade-Scale Seven-Extinction Flowers had been burned, but how was she supposed to explain her current appearance?

Even if she did explain it, what would her precious granddaughter think of her?

For a moment, Dugu Bo truly wanted to find a crack in the ground and bury herself in it. But on second thought, she could hide and avoid the problem, but what about her granddaughter?

Without her help suppressing it, the backlash of the snake venom would definitely leave Dugu Yan in unbearable agony!

Dugu Bo herself could barely endure such pain, let alone her granddaughter, who was still in the bloom of youth.

Therefore, Dugu Bo could only keep encouraging herself inwardly, trying to face her granddaughter as calmly as possible.

Soon, a figure emerged from a bend in the valley and quickly approached where they stood.

Seeing so many strangers in the valley today, Dugu Yan froze for a moment. Then her gaze swiftly darted around as she searched for her grandfather.

But after scanning the area, Dugu Yan was surprised to find that her grandfather did not seem to be in the valley.

Her mind stalled for a moment at that discovery, then she hurriedly eyed everyone warily.

"Who are you people? Where did my grandpa go? Who gave you permission to enter this valley? Do you know this is my grandpa's territory? Don't tell me you were the ones who burned those Jade-Scale Seven-Extinction Flowers outside too? I advise you not to make any reckless moves and to honestly confess your crimes! Otherwise, when my grandpa gets back, every last one of you will be in trouble!"

Dugu Yan was sixteen this year. As a prominent figure at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she had long grown used to acting arrogantly and domineeringly, relying on Yu Tianheng's affection for her and her grandfather's strength as a Titled Douluo. Thus, whenever something happened, her first reaction was to throw accusations around and use her grandfather to pressure others.

In the past, this tactic had never failed her whenever she encountered trouble. Unfortunately, today she had kicked an iron plate.

And it was not merely an iron plate. The grandfather she regarded as omnipotent was standing right in front of her, but sadly, she could not recognize her...

Hearing Dugu Yan's incomparably arrogant remarks, Dugu Bo's heart sank, and cold sweat immediately broke out.

It would have been one thing for her granddaughter to be a little arrogant in front of others, but acting this arrogant now—if this was mishandled, she might cause a huge disaster!

Fortunately, Jiang Xuan was in a good mood today. Since she had been fairly sensible just now, he decided to give Dugu Bo a chance to handle it herself.

"Old hag, is this your granddaughter?"

His tone was extremely disrespectful, but Dugu Bo did not dare show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"That's right. I've made a fool of myself before you, young friend. She truly is my granddaughter. Please do not take Yan'er's foolish words to heart, young friend and senior. I have spoiled this granddaughter of mine too much in ordinary times. A child's nonsense need not be taken seriously! I will teach her a proper lesson!"

At that, Jiang Xuan turned to look at Chen Xin. Seeing that she had no intention of voicing an opinion, he nodded along.

"Fine. Then I'll give you one chance. Settle this quickly!"

"Yes, yes. Please rest assured, I will settle it as quickly as possible."

After smiling ingratiatingly at Jiang Xuan and Chen Xin, Dugu Bo strode quickly over to Dugu Yan. Yet before she could speak, Dugu Yan questioned her first.

"Who are you? Why are you wearing my grandpa's clothes? Could it be that you're secretly in love with my grandpa and want to become my grandma? I'm warning you! Don't even think about it! As long as I'm here, your scheme will never succeed!"

Hearing this, Dugu Bo froze again. Her granddaughter's train of thought was simply too bizarre; she was old, and for a moment, she could not keep up.

After coming back to her senses, she gave a helpless, bitter smile.

"Yan'er, what are you talking about? How old is Grandpa already? How could I possibly still be thinking of finding a companion? You may find this hard to believe, but it truly is the case... Your grandpa, because of an accident, was inadvertently turned into a woman..."

As soon as those words came out, Dugu Yan was stunned too.

Was that even something a person could say?

What did she mean, her all-powerful grandfather had become a white-haired beauty because of an accident?

Did she take her for some ignorant little child, feeding her such absurd nonsense?

Yet Dugu Yan did not immediately lose her temper.

For some reason, she could inexplicably sense a familiar, intimate aura from this woman.

After weighing her thoughts, she coldly questioned her.

"Since you claim to be my grandpa, how will you prove it?"

The truth could not be faked, and a lie could not become true.

Dugu Bo had countless ways to prove her identity.

But with the situation urgent, she simply chose the most straightforward method.

She revealed her Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul, along with nine immensely intimidating Soul Rings.

In present-day Douluo Continent, the Jade Phosphor Serpent Emperor Martial Soul was inherited only by the Dugu Clan. Combined with the nine Soul Rings that could not possibly be faked, Dugu Yan could not have been clearer about who stood before her.

But even with such irrefutable evidence before her, she was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and she still found it difficult to accept reality.
