第30章 冰冻蘑菇的隐藏效果

As for Liu Erlong, she took the brunt of the attack and naturally ended up frozen solid.

Moreover, she fell out of the air, and her Avatar of Spirit shattered right after.

Climbing up from the ground, Liu Erlong shivered with cold. Ever since awakening her Fire Dragon Spirit, she had never experienced such a chill.

"What on earth are you trying to do?"

"Didn't I already answer this question from the beginning? I wanted to test just how high the flame temperature of your fire dragon really is.

It's just that you're a bit too disappointing. At first, I thought you were a chivalrous heroine who dared to love and hate.

Now it seems you're nothing more than a timid, cowardly, self-pitying resentful woman."

"What did you say!"

"Aren't I speaking the truth? You didn't dare to go look for Yu Xiaogang. Even now, with Yu Xiaogang standing right in front of you, you still don't dare to do anything to him.

Your love is merely passive waiting, followed by sitting there blaming heaven and everyone else.

Or do you really understand what love is? Can you tell the difference between love, desire, and obsession?"

"Forget it, why am I wasting my breath on you? Anyway, my goal has already been achieved.

Right, let me tell you by the way, Yu Xiaogang has already come. If you can forcefully take him down, then I might just change my opinion of you."

After saying this, Lan Yu left Lanba Academy. After Lan Yu's departure, Liu Erlong stayed in place for a long time without moving.

Lan Yu truly couldn't help muttering a couple of extra complaints to himself. In his view, between Bibi Dong, Liu Erlong, and Yu Xiaogang, what kind of love was there? All that existed were their own desires and the obsession of unrequited longing.

Flender had a hard time breaking free from the frozen state, and still had to channel spirit power to Yu Xiaogang to help him recover.

Even so, after recovering just a little, Yu Xiaogang was still shivering violently from the cold.

Flender didn't have time to worry about Yu Xiaogang; he dragged him along to find Liu Erlong.

Seeing that Liu Erlong was unhurt, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Erlong, my dear, are you alright? What on earth happened? Who did you fight with?"

"Old Flender, and Xiaogang!"

Originally she should have been extremely excited upon seeing Yu Xiaogang, but right now she couldn't get excited at all.

Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, averted his gaze, not daring to look at Liu Erlong at all.

"Xiaogang, I haven't gone to look for you in twenty years, and you haven't come to see me in twenty years either. Is there still love between us? Or did you truly ever love me?"

Flender was a bit dazed; this certainly didn't sound like a question Liu Erlong would ask.

"Erlong, my dear, isn't now the time to be talking about this?"

"No! I must figure this out. Was my twenty years of waiting really worth it?"

"Erlong, say no more. You should understand that we are impossible."

"As expected, it's still this answer, huh? I understand, cousin!"

This address of cousin completely defined the relationship between the two of them.

Lan Yu had no idea that his words would actually have an effect on Liu Erlong.

In fact, it wasn't just what Lan Yu said that took effect; more importantly, it was that Ice-shroom.

Lan Yu himself wasn't clear that besides its freezing effect, the Ice-shroom also came with a forced calmness effect.

This effect was extremely potent for the world of love on the mainland, acting as a natural nemesis to lovestruck fools.

Aside from the Ice-shroom spirit skill, Lan Yu's sixth spirit ring also possessed another spirit skill: Sealing Spore (Sealing Spirit Power).

At the same time, his final torso spirit bone had also been collected.

The two spirit bone skills of the torso spirit bone were Fungus Beast Berserk and Soul Seize (temporarily seizing the opponent's right to use their spirit).

The spirit skills were all very strong, especially Soul Seize. For now it could only seize spirits, but in the future perhaps he could seize divine artifacts to use.

After leaving Lanba Academy, Lan Yu returned to Dugu Bo's estate.

As a result, he saw Dugu Yan still confronting Dugu Bo, even blaming Dugu Bo for hurting Yu Tianheng.

"Dugu Bo, it looks like you still can't bring yourself to be strict in disciplining this granddaughter of yours."

Hearing Lan Yu's voice, Dugu Yan immediately aimed her hostility at him.

"It's all because of you, everything turned out like this because of you. What on earth did you do to my grandfather?"

"Yanzi! Stop this instant! Apologize!"

"I won't! What reason do I have to apologize to him?"

Lan Yu looked at Dugu Bo. "Are you going to let her have her way, or harden your heart—or should I help you?"

Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and said, "Lord Sage, I leave her to you."

"What! Grandfather, you're actually handing me over to him? Just as I thought! You definitely manipulated Grandfather."

"Dugu Yan, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

Lan Yu suddenly manipulated mycelium to appear, binding Dugu Yan's legs while the threads seeped into her body.

Immediately afterward, Dugu Yan let out a miserable scream. She clutched her chest as cold sweat poured down; pain, numbness, and all sorts of discomfort rushed over her at once.

"Ah... What did you... do to me?"

"I didn't do anything at all, just let you experience the torment your grandfather feels.

This is what it feels like when the spirit poison of your Dugu clan acts up. The flare-up of your grandfather's spirit poison is a hundred times more agonizing than what you're feeling now.

Do you know why he indulges you so much? It's because he doesn't even know how much longer he has to live.

Nor does he want to watch you get tortured to death by the spirit poison the way your father was.

And what have you been doing? Falling in love? Trusting an outsider rather than believing your grandfather wants what's good for you?

In my eyes, you aren't even fit to be a human being. You're just an ungrateful ingrate, lower than an animal!"

Dugu Bo found it a bit too harsh to listen to.

"Lord Sage, these words are a bit too heavy, there's no need..."

"Fine! Dugu Yan, I am sealing your spirit power. Reflect on yourself properly, and only come back to me when you've figured things out."

Lan Yu glanced at Dugu Bo again. "There is only so much I can do. If this still doesn't work, then you should give up.

Right now you can still be considered vigorous in your old age, and you're a Title Douluo; descendants can always be had."

"Cough cough... Lord Sage, you'd better not make fun of me. I'll talk with Yanzi again."

One can always have descendants.

With that, Lan Yu left, leaving the space to the grandfather and granddaughter.

Dugu Bo stepped forward to help Dugu Yan alleviate the pain of her spirit poison flare-up.

After recovering a little, Dugu Yan threw herself into Dugu Bo's arms and began to cry.

"Sob..."

Dugu Bo patted Dugu Yan's back, saying nothing at all.

After a long while, Dugu Yan stopped sobbing.

"Grandfather, I'm sorry!"

"Sigh! As long as you know you were wrong, that's enough. The spirit poison is the root of our family's disaster, and Grandfather must find a way to eradicate it.

Grandfather originally didn't intend to meddle in your romantic matters, but Yu Tianheng is not a good match for you.

You must not only consider yourself, but also our family. Could you bear to watch my Dugu lineage's heritage cut off?"

"Grandfather, I..."

"Don't rush to answer me. Grandfather hopes you can think it over carefully."

Meanwhile, Lan Yu was strolling around Heaven Dou City when he quickly noticed someone following him from behind, and the one tailing him was a Title Douluo at that.

Aside from Dugu Bo, the only Title Douluo in Heaven Dou City were precisely those people.
