Ch. 21Gift? Taming Dugu Bo
Bing Jiu forced Dugu Bo to agree to stay out of Spirit Hall’s way and arranged to meet him at the Sunset Mountain Range, where his granddaughter and a treasure-filled pool awaited. She left Xue Qinghe to realize that Dugu Bo had never been promised to him as a gift.
- Bing Jiu woke just before her deadline and had Tuoba Xi shut the palace door as Dugu Bo tried to enter.
- Xue Qinghe and three Titled Douluo surrounded Dugu Bo, but Bing Jiu called them off and invited him to talk.
- Bing Jiu showed Dugu Bo a map of the Sunset Mountain Range and said she wanted its pool of ice and fire and its Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs.
- Dugu Bo refused to pledge loyalty to Spirit Hall, so Bing Jiu demanded that he be loyal to her and warned him not to interfere as Spirit Hall went to war against the two empires.
- Dugu Bo agreed to stay out of Bing Jiu’s way and was told to wait with his granddaughter at the Sunset Mountain Range until she arrived that night.
- Xue Qinghe asked why Dugu Bo was not loyal to him, and Bing Jiu clarified that she had never said the gift was for him.
