Return to Heaven Dou

"Ah, you're back!"

The moment she stepped through the gates of Heaven Dou City, a bustling and lively atmosphere rushed towards her, and familiar street scenes came into view. Dugu Yan couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation, and a bright smile instantly spread across her eyes.

Ye Lingling was also beaming with excitement, gazing at the bustling streets on both sides, her voice soft and filled with anticipation. "I see the streets of Heaven Dou City again, I want to go eat something delicious."

After two days of travel, traversing mountains and valleys, enduring wind and rain, we finally returned safely to this vast capital city.

The two girls could not contain their joy as soon as they crossed the city gate.

They moved with light steps, like two little rabbits breaking free from their restraints and eager to run into the grass. Their bodies leaned slightly forward, just one step away from darting into the bustling crowd and disappearing in the next moment.

Seeing their excited expressions, Lu Xuan did not say anything to stop them.

After such a long and arduous journey, how could they not be allowed to relax and unwind?

As for danger?

This was not something Lu Xuan had to worry about.

Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling are now both Soul King. With such cultivation, they can easily ignore most of the ignorant nobles and Soul Master in Heaven Dou City.

They can easily resolve ordinary troubles.

Moreover, Lu Xuan's spiritual perception is like an invisible net, covering this entire city. As long as the two are within his perception range, he can instantly reach their side should anything happen.

With Lu Xuan backing them up, what is there to worry about in case of an accident?

Besides, the two girls would never deliberately cause trouble. They simply strolled through the bustling streets, browsed the dazzling array of shops, picked out some items they liked, and bought some trinkets they spotted along the way.

Lu Xuan did not disturb the two who were engrossed in their conversation. Instead, he used the [Azure Jade Spatial Escape] technique and instantly fled towards the Dugu, which was closer to them.

At this moment, Dugu Bo is in seclusion at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but Dugu Xin and his wife, as well as their two newborn children, are staying at the mansion.

A faint blue light swirled around him, and Lu Xuan appeared out of thin air in the courtyard. He chuckled and said, "Uncle Dugu, you seem to be living a comfortable life."

"Xiao Xuan?"

Upon seeing Lu Xuan suddenly appear, Dugu Xin jumped to his feet, his eyes filled with surprise and joy. He then hurriedly looked around, asking, "You're back? Where's Yanyan?"

He kept thinking about his daughter, his gaze sweeping back and forth behind Lu Xuan, but he never saw Dugu Yan's figure.

"Yanyan and Lingling went shopping," Lu Xuan said with a smile. "They haven't been back to Heaven Dou City in a long time, and they've been craving the food and trinkets on the street. They're having a blast right now."

Lu Xuan's gaze shifted to the two infants swaddled beside him, his expression softening slightly. "These must be Uncle Dugu's children, right? Which one is the older sister, and which one is the younger brother?"

"The brother was born a few minutes earlier than the sister," Dugu Xin replied softly. "The boy's name is Dugu Lin, and the girl's name is Dugu Ling. Uncle Ye has already examined them; neither of them has any innate poison within them, and there's a high probability they won't awaken the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul."

The core strength of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul lies in its potent venom. If one is born without venom, there is a considerable chance of inheriting Dugu Xin's Jade Phosphorous Dark Python.

This Jade Phosphorous Dark Python is already stronger than the Jade Phosphorous Serpent. If this Martial Soul can be steadily passed down, it will be a rare stroke of good fortune for the entire Dugu.

"That will only get better." Lu Xuan smiled. "When they're close to Martial Soul Awakening, I'll prepare the necessary medicines, and I guarantee they'll be able to cultivate at least two with Innate Full Soul Power."

"Hehe, with you taking care of things, how could we possibly worry?" Dugu Xin looked down at his two infant children in their swaddling clothes, chuckling and teasing them. "Quick, thank your brother-in-law."

"Brother-in-law?"

"Thank you... brother-in-law."

The two little ones were still confused, their speech was unclear, and their soft, childish voices were full of babyishness. They didn't understand what the words meant at all, but just followed the adults' guidance and mumbled out in a daze.

Lu Xuan didn't mind at all; he just thought the two little ones were quiet and exceptionally well-behaved.

"Good boy." He gently stroked the soft hair of the two infants with his fingertips, then took out a pair of lustrous longevity locks from his Storage Soul Tool and hung them around their necks.

"Yanyan and Lingling are still strolling around the streets, so I won't stay any longer." Lu Xuan straightened up, smiled, and said goodbye, "I need to go check on them and keep an eye on them."

"Alright," Dugu Xin replied. "Now that you're all back, you'll probably be going to the clinic tonight. I'll bring the whole family along later."

"No problem." Before he finished speaking, Lu Xuan's figure vanished silently into the air.

Dugu Xin was already used to Lu Xuan's elusive methods, and his expression remained calm. He looked down at his two infant children and chuckled softly, "You two must work hard and try to keep up with your brother-in-law in the future."

Hearing this, Chao Lingxian shook her head helplessly and smiled, "Still trying to keep up with your brother-in-law? You should be secretly happy if they don't fall too far behind Yanyan in the future."

"You should always have dreams," Dugu Xin chuckled, "What if they come true?"

When Lu Xuan found the two of them, they were sitting in a private room of a restaurant, with a plate of steaming hot spicy rabbit heads in front of them.

Dugu Yan caught sight of him entering, her eyes lit up, and she greeted him with a smile, "Lu Xuan, come on, come and have a taste!"

"This is a spicy rabbit head made from a century-old Soft Bone Rabbit; it tastes absolutely delicious." Ye Lingling, still chewing on meat, freed one hand to pick out the plumpest one and hand it to Lu Xuan.

Lu Xuan didn't stand on ceremony with them, took a seat, and slowly began to eat the rabbit head.

Spicy rabbit head is a well-known specialty of Heaven Dou City. There are over Qian Family food stalls of all sizes throughout the city that serve this dish!

Each family has its own unique seasoning recipe, resulting in distinct flavors.

Lu Xuan gnawed on the rabbit head cooked with a century-old Soft Bone Rabbit. The fragrant, spicy, and mellow flavor spread on his tongue, with a lingering numbing sensation that became more and more delicious with each chew.

He nodded and praised, "The taste is good. I just wonder if the owner can make other dishes just as well."

Dugu Yan picked up a handkerchief and gently wiped the red oil from her fingertips. A hint of interest flickered in her eyes as she spoke, "I've heard that the owner of this restaurant is a food-type Soul King. Interestingly, his Martial Soul isn't any kind of ingredient, but a heavy, black iron cauldron. Rumor has it that he has two Soul Skill specifically designed to enhance flavor and aroma; once activated, the food he makes far surpasses that of ordinary cooks."

Ye Lingling took a sip of water and then chimed in, "No wonder this rabbit head smells better than others; it turns out it was made by Soul Master."

"This combination of Martial Soul Skill is quite interesting."
