Wang Qiu'er Gets Violent! Ice Empress's Candied Hawthorn Gets a Little Ambiguous! Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
Dugu Yan, standing nearby, was filled with astonishment when she saw how courteous Dugu Bo was toward Xue Tianmo.
She knew full well that her grandfather had an eccentric temperament—neither wholly righteous nor wholly evil—and had always done things according to his own whims.
He never showed anyone a pleasant face!
Yet now, upon seeing Xue Tianmo, he was being so warm that Dugu Yan almost failed to recognize her own grandfather.
"What's going on?"
"Is Grandpa really this nice to Tianmo?"
Dugu Yan hesitated inwardly.
After giving it some thought, she understood.
It must have been because she had just told him that Xue Tianmo had helped suppress her poison and could even cure it completely.
That was why Dugu Bo had such a good attitude toward Xue Tianmo.
Thinking of this, Dugu Yan felt deeply moved.
At that moment, Dugu Bo stared directly at Xue Tianmo and asked, "Little friend Tianmo, Yan Yan just told me that you can help her completely remove the poison. Is that true?"
Xue Tianmo smiled faintly and nodded. "Senior Dugu, I've already come here. Would I dare deceive you?"
"I already told Yan Yan about two ways to detoxify her."
As he spoke, Xue Tianmo glanced at Dugu Yan.
Catching his look, Dugu Yan hurriedly nodded. "Grandpa, Tianmo is right. I forgot to tell you earlier—he gave me two methods to cure my poison!"
She did not hide anything and briefly described the two methods to Dugu Bo.
After hearing her out, Dugu Bo nodded, thinking that both methods Xue Tianmo had proposed were feasible.
Moreover, there was a Super Douluo behind Xue Tianmo, which made Dugu Bo feel that Xue Tianmo must truly be capable.
After some thought, he looked at Xue Tianmo. "Forget the method involving soul bones. It treats the symptoms, not the root cause!"
"Don't you need a place rich in spiritual energy? I'll take you there!"
Hearing this, Xue Tianmo smiled and nodded.
Just as he was about to say something, Dugu Yan happily ran over and skillfully linked her arm through his.
"Tianmo! Grandpa agreed!"
Xue Tianmo gave a soft hum. Naturally, he knew that Dugu Bo intended to take him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Seeing how intimately Dugu Yan behaved toward Xue Tianmo, Dugu Bo sighed inwardly. Sigh! My granddaughter...
A grown daughter can't be kept at home.
After thinking it over, he did not pay it much mind and led the two of them outside.
They planned to head for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well in Sunset Forest.
Before long, Xue Tianmo and the others entered the imperial city. They needed to cross the city and leave through the western gate.
As they walked, a shout suddenly rang out from the street.
"Tianmo!!"
Hearing it, all three of them turned toward the voice.
They saw a young woman holding a skewer of candied hawthorn, rushing toward Xue Tianmo with delight written all over her face.
She wore a jade-green dress, had a pretty face, and faint green light flowed around her body.
Who else could it be but the Ice Empress?
In less than a few breaths, the Ice Empress had arrived before Xue Tianmo.
Before Xue Tianmo could speak, she suddenly threw herself into his arms.
"Tianmo, candied hawthorn, eat!"
The Ice Empress spoke as if acting coquettishly, holding the skewer of candied hawthorn to Xue Tianmo's mouth.
Xue Tianmo gave a helpless smile. Without standing on ceremony, he bit off a candied hawthorn and began eating it.
"Is it sweet?"
the Ice Empress asked.
Xue Tianmo nodded and gave a soft hum. "Sweet. Very sweet!"
This sudden scene left Dugu Yan beside them completely at a loss.
She had never expected that while they were walking peacefully down the street, someone would suddenly throw herself into Xue Tianmo's arms.
And she was even feeding him candied hawthorn in public. That was far too showy, wasn't it?
After only a moment's thought, Dugu Yan felt upset, and a faint surge of jealousy rose within her.
"It's her!!"
The moment Dugu Bo saw the Ice Empress, he was greatly shocked.
He naturally recognized that this woman was the Super Douluo backing Xue Tianmo.
While the two were still stunned, the Ice Empress had already pulled away from Xue Tianmo's embrace.
She looked at Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, then turned to Xue Tianmo. "Tianmo, where are you going? I want to come with you!"
Though she said so aloud, the Ice Empress had already recognized Dugu Bo as a Titled Douluo.
She was meticulous by nature, and seeing such a person accompanying Xue Tianmo made her uneasy.
"This?"
Xue Tianmo was slightly startled. He then looked at Dugu Bo and asked, "Senior Dugu, Aunt Bing wants to come with us too. Is that alright?"
"Aunt Bing?"
Hearing Xue Tianmo's form of address for the Ice Empress, both Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan were startled.
Dugu Yan especially had thought that the Ice Empress was Xue Tianmo's lover.
Who would have thought that Xue Tianmo called her Aunt Bing?
Though she was greatly surprised, Dugu Yan felt a little secretly pleased.
Dugu Bo paused for a moment, looking thoughtful.
After thinking it over, he finally nodded. "Fine. Let's go together!"
The four of them did not linger and set off together for the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Before long, they left the imperial city through the western gate, crossed Heaven Dou Plain, and arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well within Sunset Forest.
The so-called Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was, in truth, a volcano beside an ice mountain.
The mountain's outskirts were guarded by Jade Scale Seven Absolute Flowers, as well as the poison formation set up by Dugu Bo.
Ordinary Soul Masters would not dare come here at all.
One careless step, and they would be poisoned to death.
At this time, Snow Empress was leading Ye Lingling north toward Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Wang Qiu'er was also traveling with them under Xiong Jun's escort.
Gu Yuena and Snow Empress had previously reached an agreement to have Wang Qiu'er compete against Xue Tianmo.
If Wang Qiu'er won, Snow Empress would help cultivate her and have her join the soul beast faction.
But if Xue Tianmo won, Gu Yuena would give him an enormous opportunity.
When they reached a small town, the sounds of fighting came from ahead.
"Hmm?"
Hearing it, Snow Empress and the others all looked toward the source.
They saw a group of Soul Masters in the town forcibly abducting women from the common folk.
Every one of them was arrogant and smug, acting without the slightest restraint.
"We're lofty Soul Masters. You'll do whatever we tell you to do, and you dare resist?"
"You commoners, surrender yourselves obediently!"
"Whoever dares resist, I'll send her to see Yama immediately!"
The Soul Masters had seized many women, while the onlookers around them dared to be angry but did not dare speak.
They could only watch helplessly as those women were stuffed into sacks.
Just as these Soul Masters were preparing to leave with the women they had seized, a graceful figure flashed over.
She was tall and slender, breathtakingly beautiful, dressed in fitted white clothes, with a particularly ample chest.
Who else could it be but Wang Qiu'er?
"Release them right now!"
After stepping forward, Wang Qiu'er raised her chin and spoke coldly.
She could not stand the actions of these Soul Masters. Since she had encountered them, she naturally had to stand up for justice.
