After a while.
"Lin Family Head Lin Ye pays his respects to Senior Dugu."
Lin Ye arrived and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his hands in greeting when he saw Dugu Bo.
"Hahahaha!"
"Isn't this Feng'er's father?"
"We're all family, so there's no need for such formalities."
"You've raised a fine child in Lin Feng."
Dugu Bo said with a delighted smile as he looked at Lin Ye.
"Hm? Thank you, Senior Dugu!"
"My son has troubled you, Senior."
Lin Ye slowly straightened up, astonishment filling his heart.
When had Lin Feng earned the Poison Douluo's approval? The last few times Dugu Bo had seen him, he had been fuming.
Still, this was a good thing. With the Poison Douluo's help, their chances of obtaining the Flame Crystal had increased by several degrees.
A smile appeared on Lin Ye's face as he looked at Dugu Yan.
"Yan'er, it's been a long time."
"My Little Feng often mentions you. He says he likes you very much."
"Really, Uncle Lin?"
"Does Lin Feng really say he likes me at home?"
Dugu Yan was overjoyed inside when she heard Lin Ye's words.
"It's true, Yan'er."
"My Feng'er even said he wanted me to pick a time and ask your grandfather to arrange a childhood betrothal."
With a kindly expression, Lin Ye smiled and nodded in confirmation.
"Hahahaha!"
"That brat has thought things through quite thoroughly."
Dugu Bo burst into laughter as he looked at the clever little Lin Feng behind him.
"Hahahaha!"
"Senior, then I simply have to praise Feng'er in front of you."
"Feng'er has been bright and clever, obedient and sensible since childhood."
"He could run at one, climb trees at three, and had already read through the family's collection of books by five."
"But at home, he never interacted with any other girls."
"Who would've thought that after he started school at six and met Yan'er, he would fall for her at first sight?"
"Every time he came home, he told me that in this life, he would marry no one but Yan'er."
"Hahahaha, tell me, where did such a little child learn all that?"
Lin Ye laughed along with Dugu Bo, going on and on about Lin Feng's childhood.
"So ridiculous!"
Lin Feng rolled his eyes and muttered under his breath.
Where did you even come up with all that? Is that really me? I'm embarrassed just listening to it.
When did I ever massage your back? You were away from home all year round.
Marry no one but Yan'er? Slander! Pure slander.
I never said that.
"Cough, cough!"
"Uh, Father?"
Lin Feng hurriedly coughed twice and blinked his bright eyes to make his presence known.
He feared that if he did not speak up now, Lin Ye might even reveal the story of him wetting his pants as a child.
"Feng? Feng'er?"
"Why are you here?"
"Ha! Ha! Hahaha!"
Lin Ye laughed awkwardly, his eyes carrying a hint of curiosity as he continued confirming whether this was really Lin Feng.
When had this son of his gotten here?
"Oh, Father."
"Stop looking. It's me."
"I've been here all along."
Lin Feng looked at Lin Ye with utter speechlessness.
"Uh, haha... uh."
"You? Umm... have you eaten?"
Lin Ye put away his awkward smile and began making idle conversation.
"Lin Feng, I never knew you loved me so much."
Dugu Yan ignored whatever was going on between the two of them.
She rushed in front of Lin Feng and planted several hard kisses on him.
"Alright, alright."
"You little brats."
"Let's get down to business."
Lin Ye suddenly turned serious.
"Senior Dugu, I never expected the Flame Beast King, which hasn't appeared for decades, to emerge now."
"I already saw people from the royal family when I arrived."
"This fight over the Flame Crystal will probably be difficult."
"The Baroque Kingdom's Grand General is also a fire-element Soul Douluo, and there's Fire Dragon from Blazing Fire Academy."
"The Star Luo Empire likely won't send anyone, but I'm afraid Spirit Hall will interfere."
Lin Ye sighed repeatedly and spoke to Dugu Bo with a troubled expression.
"Yes."
Dugu Bo merely nodded. His expression then turned contemplative, and he did not continue speaking.
He knew Lin Ye was right. He was not very confident about this battle for the Flame Crystal either.
At this moment.
Several bursts of laughter suddenly came from afar.
"Hahaha."
"Who did I think had arrived before me?"
"So it was Senior Dugu and Brother Lin?"
"Hahaha."
Fire Dragon's laughter was rough and bold.
The pressure of an eight-ring Soul Douluo burst forth in an instant.
It seemed to be a warning to the other teams not to get involved any further, or else—death.
Everyone else was instantly suppressed by that intimidation, shuddering coldly in their hearts.
"A-A Soul Douluo?"
"Brothers, let's retreat."
"Whoever wants this thing can have it."
A mercenary captain spoke first, hurriedly leading the rest away.
"Hm?"
"Didn't I tell you?"
"Don't try to play your little tricks in front of me."
From the corner of his eye, Fire Dragon instantly spotted Mo Fan attempting to hide behind a rock and unleashed a mental shockwave at him.
Chapter 43: Old Chrysanthemum! The Offense and Defense Have Switched, Hahaha!
The moment Mo Fan felt that mental shockwave, the urge to retreat rose in his heart.
Looks like I won't be scavenging any leftovers. Damn it...
This mental shockwave wasn't too strong, but next time, whether I keep my life or not will be hard to say.
Forget it. Staying alive is what matters most.
Mo Fan tiptoed away, but when he turned around, he slammed into a hard chest.
"You blind, kid? How dare you bump into your grandpa?"
"Are you asking for trouble?"
A deep voice rang out, filled with sternness.
Mo Fan focused his gaze and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
Several people with red hair stood there, wearing matching clothes emblazoned with the words Fire Leopard Sect.
The leader, Fire Leopard Sect Master Huo Yanbao, was berating him nonstop.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"I wasn't watching where I was going and got in your way."
"I'll leave right now."
Mo Fan hurriedly bent over and apologized in panic.
He had not expected the Fire Leopard Sect to send people as well.
Both sides had Soul Douluos. Would they end up fighting?
Then wouldn't I be able to scavenge leftovers again?
Looking more closely, he saw no fewer than six Purple Attributes among them.
Besides four Outstanding Talent attributes, there were two others.
Sect Destroyer Douluo (Purple): After your sect is destroyed, you will embark on the path to becoming stronger and ultimately become a Titled Douluo.
This could not help but remind Lin Feng of a previous attribute he had seen: Hundred-Year Douluo.
Pure Yin Body (Purple): You will obtain the Pure Yin Body of a female soul master. Anyone who has intercourse with you can greatly increase their cultivation speed.
Lin Feng nodded. This attribute was good, indeed.
Unfortunately, Dugu Yan had never refreshed an attribute like this.
Just then, Fire Dragon heard the commotion in the distance and turned around, also shocked beyond belief.
