Heaven and Earth Made It-Since When Did It Belong to You, Dugu Bo? (Please Bookmark and Keep Reading)
Sunset Forest was the second-largest Soul Beast forest on the continent.
It held a treasure trove every bit as remarkable as the Lake of Life in the Star Dou Great Forest.
Lu Ming searched for it with his eyes wide open.
Dugu Bo surrounded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well with poisonous miasma. I just need to find where the poison gathers most densely.
Then I'll find the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Lu Ming rubbed his chin.
"Xiao Xiao, fly toward the area with fewer Soul Beasts."
"Okay!"
Dugu Bo's miasma was so potent that ordinary Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts dared not approach it, much less make their homes nearby.
That narrowed the search area further.
"Huh?"
Xiao Xiao pointed southeast, puzzled.
"Little Lu, I sense a strong concentration of poison over there. That must be the place you're looking for!"
Delighted, Lu Ming took her hand.
"Xiao Xiao, let's go as fast as we can!"
"You got it!"
Xiao Xiao channeled her Soul Power. A journey that would normally take half an hour took them less than ten minutes.
They landed on the ground.
Lu Ming confirmed that the miasma contained Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor Poison and broke into a grin.
"Xiao Xiao, this is it!"
"If I'm right, this miasma was laid by Dugu Bo, the weakest Titled Douluo. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is inside."
Xiao Xiao's eyes glimmered. She reached out and gathered Lu Ming into her arms. He had grown remarkably fast.
He was already around five feet tall and looked nothing like a boy whose Martial Soul had awakened only half a year ago.
Xiao Xiao could no longer hold him the way she used to, so she carried him like a princess instead!
She could manage that even if Lu Ming grew to be over six and a half feet tall.
Holding Little Lu like this... isn't bad at all!
Xiao Xiao kept the thought to herself.
Feeling her soft, warm body and catching her delicate fragrance, Lu Ming could not resist taking a little sniff.
His face flushed. Xiao Xiao was watching him with a smile. A woman like her had no business looking so alluring.
But right then... Lu Ming felt decidedly hot.
He buried his face between her breasts, hoping it would help him calm down.
Her familiar milky scent made him suddenly drowsy.
Feeling his warmth against her chest, Xiao Xiao blushed too!
"Hold on tight to me, Little Lu~!"
"Mm!"
Lu Ming's voice was faint.
A violet glow rose in Xiao Xiao's eyes, and everything within her field of vision came into sharp focus.
She soon found an entrance through the dark-green miasma.
She raised the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Xiao.
Nine Soul Rings gradually appeared beneath her feet!
Black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red!
Yes, this Xiao Xiao of the Multiverse had four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Rings on her second Martial Soul. That meant she also had four Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bones!
Lu Ming's jaw dropped. For a moment, he could not speak.
"Xiao Xiao, I had no idea your Soul Rings were this outrageous!"
Lu Ming clicked his tongue. If he did not have the Golden Dragon King's bloodline, he would have been green with envy.
And here I was thinking of giving her those Soul Bones.
Xiao Xiao smiled awkwardly. "You never asked, Little Lu. I thought you weren't curious."
"Of course I'm curious! When we get back, you have to tell me everything, Xiao Xiao. No holding back!"
Lu Ming shifted slightly in her arms. His cheeks puffed out like he had stuffed two big apples in his mouth, and they had turned a little red.
Mwah!
Lu Ming froze. For a long moment, he could not collect himself.
"X-Xiao Xiao, you..."
His pupils contracted as he stared into her eyes, searching for some hint of a deeper feeling.
"What? Did you enjoy my kiss?"
He did not answer.
"Did one kiss leave you speechless?"
Only then did Lu Ming say quietly, "Xiao Xiao, that was the first time anyone's kissed me!"
Lu Ming had been close to graduating from university without ever dating anyone. He had not even held a girl's hand.
Yet here on the Douluo Continent, all that had changed.
All Lu Ming wanted to do was shout, "System, you're incredible!"
In his previous life, he would not have dared dream of a girl as gentle and resilient as Xiao Xiao.
"But... it was my first time too~!"
Xiao Xiao seems to have changed. She's becoming... more and more irresistible.
"Azure Phoenix Pierces the Sun!"
Xiao Xiao blew softly into the Nine-Phoenix Ceremonial Xiao. An azure phoenix flew forth and let out a clear cry toward the sky.
It spread its wings, plunged straight into the miasma, and carved a path through it by sheer force.
Xiao Xiao carried Lu Ming slowly inside. An invisible barrier seemed to surround them, keeping the miasma at bay.
At that moment, Xiao Xiao looked magnificent!
Her dark-green hair stirred in the breeze, and her emerald eyes shone like natural gems. One glance was enough to hold anyone's gaze.
Once they were through the miasma, Lu Ming reluctantly left her arms.
"Old man inside, this place is ours now."
Xiao Xiao's cold declaration rang out at the cave entrance.
A moment later, a dark-green figure appeared, followed by a young girl.
"Friend, you may be powerful, but if this old man had resorted to a few tricks just now, you would not have made it through so easily."
The newcomer was Dugu Bo, and the girl behind him was his granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
"You were afraid. Otherwise, you would have attacked already."
"But I found this place first and have lived here for years. Aren't you taking this too far?"
Dugu Bo gritted his teeth and clenched his fists.
How had they found such a remote place? Had they discovered what made it special?
"Big sister, you're so pretty. Why do you have to be so pushy?"
Dugu Yan spoke sweetly.
Xiao Xiao trembled. She knew she was being overbearing, but she could not let Little Lu be bullied again. She had to use the Immortal Herbs to improve her aptitude and break through to Peerless Douluo in one stroke.
"This place was nurtured by heaven and earth. Naturally, it belongs to whoever has the strength to claim it."
"Without strength, what can you protect?"
Xiao Xiao wasted no more words. She raised her great cauldron in warning. She would have this place, and no one would stop her from growing stronger so she could protect Little Lu.
"Wait."
Lu Ming stepped between the two of them.
"You must be Poison Douluo, sir."
Dugu Bo frowned slightly and studied the child before him.
He looks about the same age as Yan Yan, yet he's already level sixteen.
He carries himself calmly, and his gaze is sharp. There's something unusual about this boy.
"Poison Douluo, there's another small valley beside this one. Give us this place, and I'll offer you two Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones."
Lu Ming signaled to Xiao Xiao with his eyes. After a moment's thought, she gave a slight nod.
She took out the Ten Thousand Year Soul Bones they had previously obtained from Bibi Dong.
Dugu Bo smiled. "My resources may be modest, but I'm not so desperate that I'd surrender a treasure trove for two Soul Bones."
Xiao Xiao stamped her foot. Nine Soul Rings—black, black, black, black, black, red, red, red, red—spun beneath her.
The pressure she unleashed nearly made Dugu Bo grind his molars to pieces.
"You don't know when to back down! I've already offered you compensation. Are you going to make me take this place by force?"
Xiao Xiao was furious. She had given him a way out—what more did he want?
