Dugu Bo's Favorability

"What a fragrant roast lamb!"

Luo Fan and Su Yuntao had been busy for so long that they were just about to enjoy their meal when a slightly aged male voice suddenly rang out.

Immediately afterward, an elderly man wearing bright green armor walked out.

"Dugu Bo!?" Luo Fan's heart stirred slightly as he looked at the approaching figure.

With that appearance and outfit, he had to be the Poison Douluo.

Although Luo Fan had long known that Dugu Bo's medicinal garden, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, was in Sunset Forest, he had still been rather envious of it.

But Luo Fan had never expected Dugu Bo to be drawn over by the fragrance of his roast lamb.

"Who are you?" Su Yuntao stood up as he looked at Dugu Bo approaching and blocked Luo Fan from view, watching the other man warily at the same time.

Although he did not recognize the other party, in Su Yuntao's eyes, this approaching fellow had a sinister and vicious air. At a glance, he clearly did not seem like a good person.

"Brother Yuntao, this must be Senior Poison Douluo!" Seeing Su Yuntao standing in front of him, Luo Fan tugged at his sleeve and spoke.

It had not been a waste for him to make a special trip to Sunset Forest to help Su Yuntao hunt a Spirit Ring. At the crucial moment, Su Yuntao had directly stepped in front of him, and Luo Fan was quite touched.

"Ti... Titled Douluo?" Hearing what Luo Fan said, Su Yuntao's expression changed.

"Oh? Little fellow, you recognize me?"

Hearing Luo Fan identify him at once, Dugu Bo looked at him in surprise.

A child who looked only seven or eight years old actually had such insight?

"Senior, I'm classmates with Dugu Yan. She's mentioned you to me several times. I've admired you for a long time, so I was able to recognize you!" Luo Fan said.

That statement was half true and half false!

It was true that he and Dugu Yan were classmates and that he had admired Dugu Bo for a long time.

But the false part was naturally that Dugu Yan had mentioned Dugu Bo to him several times.

"Oh, you're Luo Fan, right?"

After hearing Luo Fan's words, Dugu Bo was clearly delighted that his granddaughter often mentioned him in front of outsiders. He then accurately stated Luo Fan's identity.

There was no need to ask. Luo Fan immediately knew that Dugu Yan had never mentioned her grandfather to him, but she had definitely mentioned him to her grandfather.

"That's right, Senior!" Luo Fan nodded.

"Boy, Yanzi says that despite your young age, you're already a level 24 Soul Grandmaster—and you have two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings?" Dugu Bo examined Luo Fan curiously.

Speaking of geniuses, his granddaughter could be considered one. As a Titled Douluo, he himself had also been famous across the continent as a genius when he was young. But someone like Luo Fan was still something he had heard of for the first time.

Since they had met, he was naturally curious.

Luo Fan did not waste words. Since Dugu Bo had asked, he displayed his Blue Silver Grass and two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings for him to see!

"Tsk, tsk, tsk. They really are two Thousand-Year Spirit Rings!"

He had heard about them long ago, but even after seeing them with his own eyes, Dugu Bo was still astonished.

Then, without making it obvious, he glanced at the roast lamb beside them and the dozens of flatbreads before saying, "As expected, only people with sufficiently strong physiques can absorb Spirit Rings beyond their level!"

The two of them had eaten so much? Only people with good enough physiques could have such large appetites!

"Senior, meeting is fate. Why don't you sit down and have something to eat with us?"

After exchanging simple greetings, and since the other party had been drawn over by the roast lamb, Luo Fan invited him along with the situation.

"Sure!" Dugu Bo nodded when he heard that and sat down directly.

"By the way, who is this?" Dugu Bo looked at Su Yuntao and asked casually.

"Senior Poison Douluo, my name is Su Yuntao. I'm an adjudicator of Spirit Hall!" Su Yuntao answered.

"Hmph, someone from Spirit Hall..." Dugu Bo's expression turned colder.

Back when he had been conferred the title of Poison Douluo, Spirit Hall had tried to recruit him, but he had refused.

Afterward, Bibi Dong had actually sent Chrysanthemum Douluo and Ghost Douluo to join forces in an attempt to ambush and kill him.

From then on, he had formed a grudge with Spirit Hall.

However, this was a conflict between him and Spirit Hall's higher-ups, so he would not make things difficult for a junior.

But hatred for the crow extended to the crows around it. He simply found Su Yuntao extremely unpleasant to look at!

"Luo, how did you end up with someone from Spirit Hall? Didn't I hear that you belonged to His Highness the Second Prince?" Dugu Bo impolitely tore off a large piece of lamb leg, took a bite, and casually asked Luo Fan.

As he spoke, he glanced at the lamb leg in his hand, his eyes shining.

Delicious. The lamb was crisp on the outside and tender within, and with the cumin powder and other seasonings complementing it, the flavor was simply too powerful.

"Senior, Brother Yuntao and I have always been on good terms. He helped me awaken my martial soul before, and he also helped me hunt my first Spirit Ring. So today, when Brother Yuntao needed to hunt his third Spirit Ring, I thought I could help a little, so I came along!" Luo Fan explained.

"You little fellow. You're quite loyal and affectionate!" After hearing Luo Fan's explanation, Dugu Bo praised him.

Soon, the three of them finished the roast lamb and flatbreads. Dugu Bo stood up and said, "I've eaten a meal of roast lamb from you today, boy, so I won't take advantage of you for nothing. Whenever you need my help with something, feel free to come find me!"

After leaving them with that sentence, Dugu Bo waved his hand and headed deeper into Sunset Forest.

Not bad. He had only given up a little food, yet he had obtained a small promise from Dugu Bo.

In Luo Fan's eyes, he had made a huge profit.

Not to mention what this promise might bring him in the future, at the very least, it gave him an opportunity to continue interacting with Dugu Bo.

The reason he had come to Sunset Forest was to help Brother Yuntao hunt a Spirit Ring, so Dugu Bo had been too lazy to ask about it.

If he had come to hunt a Spirit Ring for himself, Dugu Bo might have immediately offered to help him, repaying the favor of this meal, right?

Thus, Luo Fan and Su Yuntao continued searching through the forest for another two hours, but they still did not find a suitable spirit beast.

Estimating that the sky would be dark in another two hours, Luo Fan directly circulated his Soul Power and released the Wood Clone Technique!

The Blue Silver Grass grew wildly, and immediately afterward, twenty or thirty Wood Clones were released!

"Everyone, spread out and search separately!" Luo Fan said to all the Wood Clones.

Hearing this, all the Wood Clones responded in unison before quickly scattering!

"Luo Fan, your spirit skill is incredibly practical..."

Seeing Luo Fan release dozens of Wood Clones to help him search for a target, Su Yuntao spoke with both emotion and amazement.

Sure enough, having dozens of Wood Clones spread out to search was quite effective.

After roughly half an hour, one of the Wood Clones found the target.

It was a Gale Wolf that had lived for roughly two thousand years. Afterward, the Wood Clone dispelled itself.

Almost at the same time, Luo Fan immediately learned the Gale Wolf's location!

"Brother Yuntao, let's go. We found it—a two-thousand-year-old Gale Wolf. It's perfect for you!" Luo Fan said to Su Yuntao.
