"Xiao Gang, when are you planning to hold our wedding?"
In the little grove, after Yu Xiaogang had fed her a string of grand promises, Liu Erlong gave up on the idea of forcing herself on him and instead began fantasizing about the lavish wedding he had promised her.
Yu Xiaogang tightened his arm around Liu Erlong, who was leaning against his shoulder. If not for his concern for his dignity, after Liu Erlong's little display just now, they would have already finished the deed.
"Erlong, I plan to hold our wedding after I raise Xiao San into a Title Douluo. By then, Xiao San will officiate our wedding."
"I believe a wedding officiated by a Title Douluo will surely surpass ninety-nine percent of the weddings on the continent!"
A blissful smile appeared on Liu Erlong's face.
Leaning against her beloved's shoulder and breathing in that scholarly aura from him... it was truly intoxicating!
"Alright. Oh, right, Xiao Gang, I opened an academy in Heaven Dou City. Why don't you and Xiao San come with me? Xiao San can obtain more resources there."
"And you can fulfill your wish and become famous across the continent sooner."
How could her beloved Xiao Gang suffer in such a backwater place? Naturally, he had to go back with her and enjoy a good life!
At the thought that she would no longer need to go to the academy's back mountain to find that dummy plastered with a portrait of her beloved Xiao Gang...
Liu Erlong's face overflowed with a smile called happiness.
Upon hearing Liu Erlong's words, Yu Xiaogang was unwilling ten thousand times over!
If he went with Liu Erlong, they would be together every day. What if something happened one day? Though he could not fire the gun now, Liu Erlong could!
But naturally, he could not reject her outright. He still needed to keep Liu Erlong steady.
"I think that would be fine, but we can't go now. I plan to let Xiao San properly temper his character here."
Yu Xiaogang had already made up his mind. Once he had the chance, he would take Tang San to seek refuge with his good brother, Flender.
His good brother had opened an academy that only accepted those with exceptional talent, those known as Monsters.
That was where a man of his peerless wisdom, the Number One Theoretical Master of the Continent, belonged!
At his words, Liu Erlong's gaze dimmed slightly, but it soon returned to normal.
If Yu Xiaogang would not go to her, then she could simply come to him!
Meanwhile, Lu Li had already arrived at Tang San's hometown, Holy Soul Village.
"I remember Tang Hao seemed to have placed Ah Yin inside a cave."
Lu Li looked around, and his gaze finally settled on a large mountain behind Holy Soul Village.
"There is only this one mountain. Looks like Ah Yin is inside."
Lu Li flew on his sword toward that solitary mountain, while the villagers below in Holy Soul Village watched him with respectful expressions.
Upon reaching the mountainside, Lu Li swept the area with his spiritual power. After spotting a cave entrance on the left, he flew straight inside.
The moment he entered, a damp chill enveloped his body. Water droplets clung to the surrounding walls, and the cave was dim everywhere.
The cave was not large. The instant Lu Li entered, he saw Ah Yin's true form planted atop a small mound of dirt, her aura so weak that she could barely maintain her basic vital signs.
"With this environment, forget grass. Even a person would develop problems after staying here too long."
As everyone knew, plants required ample sunlight to grow, yet this cave Tang Hao had specifically chosen for Ah Yin...
Only a tiny opening above Ah Yin's head allowed a little sunlight in, and only briefly—perhaps an hour or two around noon.
Had Tang Hao only planted her here because he had not noticed Ah Yin was practically dying?
Lu Li crouched before Ah Yin's true form and flicked her branches and leaves with his fingers.
Ah Yin had not even regained consciousness yet. Faced with Lu Li's teasing, she instinctively swayed her leaves.
"I wonder whether this Ancestral Dragon Ring can hold living things."
After thinking it over, Lu Li figured that since it had been given by the system, it probably could.
"Forget it. If it can store her, she lives. If it can't, Ah Yin can log off early."
To make sure he would not somehow end up with two mothers, Lu Li intended to send Ah Yin offline ahead of schedule.
He took out a box he had prepared in advance from the Ancestral Dragon Ring and transplanted Ah Yin into it.
Just as Lu Li finished and was about to leave, he suddenly felt that leaving like this would be a bit of a loss.
He could not take the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone. Once Tang San obtained it, he would be able to get a Soul Bone with an even higher age anyway.
Lu Li looked around, and his gaze eventually landed on a pebble.
"Got it!"
Lu Li's eyes lit up. He walked over, picked up the pebble from the ground, then went to the nearby wall.
"Second Brother, Big Brother has transplanted Third Sister to our Clear Sky Sect first. Don't wonder how Big Brother knew your location. In any case, return to the sect as soon as possible!"
"Done!"
Lu Li looked at his handiwork with satisfaction.
"Now I can go get the Recording Stone."
Lu Li summoned Little Yellow again and had Little Yellow carry him back to Notting City.
In the blink of an eye, Lu Li arrived at the little grove behind Notting Academy.
Lu Li went to where the Recording Stone was located. It was still flickering with a faint blue glow.
It contained all the exciting scenes between Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong from just now!
"With Liu Erlong looking that seductive, Yu Xiaogang was probably holding himself in until it hurt."
Leaving everything else aside, Liu Erlong's allure was definitely maxed out. She had a fiery figure, and she was not some little girl either—she was a mature woman.
As the saying went, when young, you don't know the charm of mature women, and mistake young girls for treasures.
"Yu Xiaogang, Yu Xiaogang... if this thing gets released, what will your father and your second uncle think?"
In his mind, Yu Yuanzhen and Yu Luomian sat on stools, watching the scene in the Recording Stone of their son battling their illegitimate daughter.
Hiss! Better not imagine it, better not imagine it!
The brothers had become in-laws!
"Back to the city, back to the city. Time to keep enjoying myself."
"Next, I should just wait until six years later, when Tang San gets his Third Spirit Ring and Eight Spider Lances, then come find him again!"
Making trip after trip was not worth it at all. Better to save things up and take them all at once.
"The Eight Spider Lances... the future Sea God's Eight Wings. I wonder what kind of Soul Bone it will become after Double Replication."
Lu Li was still very much looking forward to External Soul Bones.
"Oh, right. By then, I can also give the Immortal Herbs to Tang San ahead of time, so I won't have to wait a while before getting them."
"I just wonder whether Dugu Bo will let me take them!"
If he gave the Immortal Herbs to Tang San early, he could obtain the doubly replicated Immortal Herbs early as well. Then he could snatch the original Immortal Herbs from Tang San afterward. After one round of that, he would not lose out no matter what.
But the only problem now was whether Dugu Bo would let him take those Immortal Herbs.
"Forget it. We'll deal with it then. If Dugu Bo refuses, I'll force him first and return them to him later."
Once those Immortal Herbs were doubly replicated, Lu Li would not really think much of Dugu Bo's Immortal Herbs anymore.
Far away in Heaven Dou City, Dugu Bo suddenly sneezed several times for no reason at all.
"Strange. With my cultivation, I shouldn't be able to catch a cold. Who is talking about me?"
Dugu Bo scratched his head and rubbed his nose in confusion.
"By my calculations, Yan Yan should have completely absorbed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon by now."
Dugu Bo glanced toward where his granddaughter was in seclusion.
The Earth Dragon Golden Melon's energy was too immense. Dugu Yan simply could not finish absorbing it in a short time and could only absorb it bit by bit until all of its energy had been exhausted.
