"Brat!"
"Put down my granddaughter!"
Dugu Bo pointed furiously at Chu Lan and shouted.
"Are you sure?"
Chu Lan raised an eyebrow slightly, then lowered his head and gave Dugu Yan a wicked smile.
"Your grandfather wants me to put you down."
"What do you think?"
Hearing Chu Lan's question, Dugu Yan bit her lower lip, both embarrassed and indignant.
"Grandpa!!!"
Dugu Yan's shrill cry echoed through the valley.
Chu Lan was the closest, so he felt it most directly.
He even wanted to throw Dugu Yan down at once and cover his ears.
It was simply too piercing!
How could Dugu Bo dare linger any longer? At a time like this, he was the one least suited to remain here.
"Brat, just you wait!"
"You dared take liberties with my granddaughter. I'll make sure you pay for it!"
Dugu Bo transmitted his voice in secret.
His face was ferocious, as though he wanted to swallow Chu Lan alive.
Chu Lan grinned. "That would be great. If I can't finish it, I'll take the rest to go."
Lowering his gaze to Dugu Yan's eyes, he said with a smile, "Little Yan, your grandfather said... he'd make sure I couldn't finish what I ate. He's such a nice man."
Dugu Yan froze, then could not help covering her mouth and laughing softly.
At that moment.
Dugu Bo's face had turned completely black, but he could only suppress his anger and temporarily leave the area.
Leaving Chu Lan and Dugu Yan plenty of space.
"Have you hugged me enough yet?"
Dugu Yan lifted her beautiful eyes, shyly glanced at Chu Lan, then quickly lowered her head again.
Chu Lan gave a wicked smile. "Not yet..."
"Pervert! Put me down already!" Dugu Yan's cheeks were flushed crimson. There was practically no space between her and Chu Lan, their bodies pressed tightly together.
In fact...
Going beyond zero distance was only a matter of a thought.
Chu Lan controlled the Chicken Talisman's power and slowly descended with Dugu Yan.
To show his gentlemanly manners, Chu Lan gave his entire black robe to Dugu Yan.
As for himself...
He was a man. It did not matter!
Chu Lan simply took clothes from the system space and put them on without the slightest hesitation.
Dugu Yan covered her eyes with both hands.
However!
Her eyes, now restored to normal, were peeking through the gaps between her fingers and taking in everything.
Aside from her eye color returning to normal, Dugu Yan's body no longer contained even the slightest trace of poison.
She had been thoroughly tempered from head to toe!
Completely clean!
"I'm almost dressed. Why aren't you getting dressed yet?"
"Do you want me to stand here and watch you dress?"
Chu Lan had seen every one of Dugu Yan's little movements and smiled teasingly.
"Hmph!"
"You're not allowed to peek!"
Dugu Yan took out a screen and blocked off the area tightly.
Only then did she take out her clothes and put them on.
It was a fitted purple qipao, embroidered with a large flower in silver thread.
Dugu Yan was no longer very young, and she was now at the age when she was most radiant and alluring!
She possessed both the charm of a mature woman and the liveliness of a young girl!
"Are you dressed? I'm coming in!"
Having gotten dressed, Chu Lan slowly approached.
He even deliberately made the sound of his footsteps.
"You want to look? Then I'll let you look your fill!"
After putting on her qipao and tidying herself up a little, Dugu Yan pulled open the screen in one motion.
Chu Lan's eyes lit up.
Dugu Yan truly looked far better in her current outfit. That school uniform could not compare at all.
Dugu Yan saw Chu Lan's reaction clearly and felt secretly pleased.
No matter what, she was still very charming!
Dugu Yan slowly walked toward Chu Lan with catlike steps, her seductive, willow-thin waist swaying from side to side.
Chu Lan remained where he was.
He merely watched quietly as Dugu Yan approached.
Suddenly...
Dugu Yan lifted her jade-like arm, and her slender hand lightly brushed beneath Chu Lan's chin.
Chu Lan was still too young. He was not even as tall as Dugu Yan.
That fact made him feel especially frustrated.
"After breaking through to Soul Elder, I should be able to grow a little more."
Increasing Soul Power helped with height growth.
Of course.
Special cases were excluded.
"Little man~"
"Tell me, how should I deal with the fact that you saw my body and even put your hands on me by hugging me?"
"Should I dig out your eyes? Or chop off your hands?"
"You choose for yourself."
Dugu Yan smiled teasingly.
"If I get to decide..."
Chu Lan thought for a moment, then said seriously, "I choose neither. I choose a third path!"
"A third path?" Dugu Yan froze. Her thoughts immediately ran wild, and her posture became coy. "What... is this third path you're talking about?"
"I don't know. I haven't thought of one yet." Chu Lan shrugged.
"You!" Dugu Yan's expression changed from bashful red to icy cold in less than a second.
She had nearly reached a climax!
And what was the result?
Chu Lan said he had only been rubbing against her!
"What happened just now was unavoidable. I do want to take responsibility for you. You're a good girl, but I'm not a good man. You wouldn't be able to handle me."
Chu Lan spoke helplessly.
Although saying such things made him seem unwilling to take responsibility, some matters... were better explained clearly in advance.
So that the other party would not regret it later.
Though...
There was always a chance of regret no matter what. After all, regret was only human nature.
Dugu Yan was stunned upon hearing this.
She had never expected Chu Lan, who was several years younger than her, to be more rational than she was.
Oh no!
She liked him even more now. What was she supposed to do?
"Ahem!"
At that moment, Dugu Bo emerged from the forest.
Chu Lan and Dugu Yan looked over at the same time.
"Grandpa!"
Dugu Yan hurried over to him.
Only now did Dugu Bo have a chance to carefully inspect Dugu Yan's changes.
The most obvious symptom of Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison was a pair of jade-green eyes!
After enough time had passed, even the hair would turn jade-green. If the poisoning became more severe, it would become dark green, just like his was now!
Now.
Dugu Yan's eyes had returned to their normal black color, as had her shoulder-length short hair.
This was because her poisoning had not been severe. After her body had been tempered and detoxified, the abnormalities she had once shown vanished as well.
Dugu Bo shed tears of excitement.
He stretched out a trembling hand, as withered as dead wood, and gently stroked Dugu Yan's hair, which had returned to normal.
"Good... good!"
Seeing this, Dugu Yan smiled gently.
Dugu Bo was her only family, and she understood very clearly how much he wished for her to be safe and well.
She looked back at Chu Lan and asked softly, "Chu Lan, what should my grandfather do now?"
The only herbs capable of detoxifying him had already been eaten by her and Chu Lan.
What was Dugu Bo supposed to consume now?
"The reason I didn't let your grandfather consume the herbs to temper his body and detoxify himself is because... it might cause his cultivation to decline."
"Your situation is completely different from your grandfather's, so he cannot detoxify himself the same way you did."
"But you can rest assured. Our blood also has detoxifying properties. I can make an antidote to temporarily help your grandfather deal with the poison in his body."
"Temporarily?" Dugu Bo frowned deeply.
Chu Lan had no better solution for this either. Using a Soul Bone to store poison treated the symptoms but not the root cause. It was merely a stopgap measure, and it made little difference whether one used an ordinary Soul Bone or an External Soul Bone!
Besides...
Where was Dugu Bo supposed to find an External Soul Bone?
At present, there was only one method before him, and it was also the most practical and convenient one—Dugu Bo's Natal Poison Pill!
