The Unreasonable Dugu Bo

Hearing Dugu Bo's voice coming from outside the courtyard made the two people in the room even more flustered, especially Dugu Yan was naked in the bathtub, her body shrouded in steam.

The footsteps outside the courtyard gate grew closer, and Dugu Bo's aged voice was filled with worry. "Yanyan? Grandpa heard some noise inside, are you feeling unwell?"

The two people inside the room froze simultaneously.

Ning Chengyi's expression changed slightly, and he subconsciously took half a step back. His gaze swept over Dugu Yan in the bathtub, and this sight made her even more shy. Her face turned bright red, and she glanced outside out of the corner of her eye before unconsciously lowering her head.

Ning Chengyi looked at Dugu Yan, who was curled up naked in the bathtub, her wet hair disheveled, her cheeks flushed, and even her breathing was weak and trembling.

He couldn't help but feel a little flustered. What he had learned at the Moonlight Pavilion was now impossible to suppress. In fact, Dugu Yan's current state made his breathing become heavier, and his gaze held a questioning look.

Looking at the somewhat flustered boy, Dugu Yan couldn't help but smile and said.

"Grandpa..." Dugu Yan bit her lip, her voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible, "I'm fine, please don't come in."

She had intended to be more forceful, but having just been detoxified, her body was as limp as water, and her voice came out with a touch of softness, which seemed more like a cover-up.

Dugu Bo paused, his brows furrowing even more deeply.

"Are you alright? Then why is your voice trembling?" He had already placed his hand on the door latch. "Grandpa will come in and check on you."

"No!" Dugu Yan hurriedly stopped Dugu Bo the moment he opened his mouth.

Dugu Yan's eyes reddened with anxiety, her fingertips gripping the edge of the bathtub so tightly that her nails turned white.

She looked at Ning Chengyi, her green eyes filled with panic and pleading.

Her eyes were just like those of a young girl caught having an affair—shy, angry, anxious, and with a hint of inexplicable dependence.

Ning Chengyi deep breath and said in a low voice to Dugu Yan, "Don't panic, I'll handle this."

He quickly grabbed the scattered clothes on the table and tossed them toward the bathtub. At the same time, he turned to face the door, his Soul Power surging, ready to stop anyone at any moment.

Outside the door, Dugu Bo's hand was already on the bolt.

"Yanyan, Grandpa really came in."

The bolt made a slight clicking sound.

"This is bad!" Ning Chengyi's expression changed instantly. Gone was the panic from before. Instead, he was calmer than ever before. He took a deep breath and prepared for the worst. His Soul Power was ready. Dugu Yan was suddenly startled.

"Ah!"

This cry, which would normally be harmless, was like a deadly poison at this moment.

Given Dugu Bo's doting affection for his granddaughter, Dugu Yan's call caused him, who was already filled with doubt, to forcefully unleash his power and suddenly burst into the room.

A young man, with a calm expression, looked at Dugu Bo who had barged in, placed one hand on Dugu Yan's head, and gently patted it.

"Mmm..." A soft moan escaped her lips, but upon seeing this, Dugu Bo's eyes turned bloodshot. "Yanyan, don't be afraid. Grandpa will kill this man, and then no one will know anything about you."

Before he could finish speaking, Dugu Bo had already charged towards Ning Chengyi.

The very first move produced a buzzing sound that the air could hardly bear.

Ning Chengyi was already prepared, and the Soul Ring beneath his feet suddenly exploded.

The four Soul Rings shone brightly in the room.

Third Soul Skill: Spirit Rhinoceros Illuminating Reflection!

Fourth Soul Skill: Mysterious Firmament Thunder Qilin Transformation!

He started with two Support -type Soul Skills, and his attributes were enhanced to an unparalleled level, instantly unleashing tremendous power.

Just as Dugu Bo's large hand was about to fall.

Ning Chengyi narrowly avoided the danger.

With a swift movement, he teleported through the broken window into the courtyard.

"You little thief, don't run away!"

"Die!"

At this moment, Dugu Bo was like a madman, unleashing deadly attacks with every move, each strike aimed directly at Ning Chengyi's vital points.

"The First Soul Skill: Mystic Edge, Leveling Mountains!"

Suddenly, a yellow light seemed to appear on Ning Chengyi. Under the effect of his Overlord Body, the Desolation-Suppressing God-Breaking Spear swept across all directions, forming an impenetrable defense.

Dugu Bo, who was rushing towards him, narrowed his eyes slightly. This kid was not even Soul King, but he gave him a sense of threat.

"Young man, you're so young, yet you've already reached such a level. If you're willing to marry into my Dugu Family, I can forgive and forget your past!"

But Ning Chengyi did not answer him.

He directly withstood Dugu Bo's palm strike.

He staggered back several dozen steps before regaining his balance.

"If I hadn't held back, you would be dead."

"Let's give it a try!"

Ning Chengyi knew that Dugu Bo's poisoning had become more severe, so he was not worried at all.

"You're courting death!" Dugu Bo said coldly, seeing that he was stubborn and unyielding.

The next second, a huge Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor was seen hissing and tearing through the air in the courtyard.

Dugu Bo's nine Soul Rings swirled around him, and a purple-black poisonous mist surged and spread from his palms. The foul-smelling toxins corroded the plants and trees that touched them, and the surrounding flowers, grasses and trees were instantly swallowed up by the phosphorescent purple mist.

The oppressive aura of a level 92 Titled Douluo pressed down like a mountain.

Ning Chengyi's four Soul Rings were like a small boat, far too insignificant.

The gap is as wide as an insurmountable chasm.

Dugu Bo smiled faintly, flicked his finger, and a wisp of poison silently pierced through the mist, heading straight for the boy's brow.

At this moment, an ordinary Soul Ancestor would have been confused by the poisonous fog, their senses would be impaired, and they could only passively suffer from the poison's effects.

Just as the poisonous threads were about to touch his skin, a warm, pale purple light suddenly shone between Ning Chengyi's brows.

Spirit Condensation Wisdom Skull 150,000 years, silently embarking on its journey.

An invisible net of spiritual power spread out around him, and no matter how thick the purple mist was, it could not block the spiritual perception derived from the skull.

It was the Soul Bone that Bibi Dong obtained in the Star Dou Great Forest.

At this moment, it played its role.

Everything about Dugu Bo was now clearly projected into the boy's mind.

With the terrifying deductive abilities of the Wisdom Skull, hundreds of calculations were completed in an instant.

What appeared to others as an overwhelming, Jade Phosphorous Soul-Bewildering Poison Array used to confuse the five senses was, in his mental vision, as clear as water.

Not to mention, the Second Martial Soul, the Phantom Butterfly Spirit Tide, is ready to unleash its power at any moment.

The boy took a slanted step, precisely avoiding the poisonous thread that attacked from the shadows. His figure twisted and turned in the surging purple mist, each dodge perfectly timed to coincide with the moment the poison spread, not a second too early, not a second too late.

There's no need to use the Phantom Butterfly at all, because once exposed, he would be 100% used by Dugu Bo for experiments.

"Hmm?" Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow, a look of surprise flashing in his eyes.

His Azure Phosphorescent Purple Mist had a mental confusion effect; even Soul Saint would have their consciousness impaired if caught in it. How could this mere level forty-nine Soul Ancestor be unaffected by the poison?

He no longer held back; the light of his Third Soul Ring surged, and countless Jade Phosphorous Serpent shadows burst forth from the poisonous mist, blocking all of the boy's escape routes from all directions. Their venomous fangs spewed forth, sealing off all avenues of evasion.

"Then let's try!" Ning Chengyi saw that Dugu Bo refused to let go, and the power attached to the Wisdom Skull suddenly locked onto him in the poisonous fog, his mental energy condensed like a sharp blade and pierced straight into his Sea of Consciousness!

This attack lacked powerful physical destructive force, but was purely a mental shock.

The spiritual foundation of a 150,000-year-old Soul Bone is incredibly profound. Even though he only has the cultivation of Soul Ancestor and cannot fully unleash the power of the Soul Bone, this divine light is still enough to briefly disturb the mind of Titled Douluo.

Dugu Bo felt a sudden jolt in his mind, a slight stinging pain in his Sea of Consciousness, and his Martial Soul Avatar, which was about to press down on the boy, hesitated for a moment.

In that brief half-breath pause, Ning Chengyi hand, charged towards him, his Second Soul Skill suddenly exploding.

With the amplification of all attributes, it already possesses power stronger than that of an ordinary Soul King.
