You Did Me?

Just as the banquet settled into a peaceful atmosphere, the guards who had dragged Yu Xiaogang away returned looking dispirited, drawing everyone's attention.

"Your Majesty, we failed to carry out your orders."

The Imperial Guards knelt on the floor and spoke awkwardly.

"What? Did you let him escape?" Xue Ye looked incredulous. He remembered that even the weakest of his Imperial Guards was a Soul Ancestor. How could they let a Soul Grandmaster slip away right under their noses? If that was really the case, he would have to consider replacing his Imperial Guards wholesale.

"No, Your Highness. That Yu Xiaogang... is a eunuch."

Crack.

Before Xue Ye could do anything else, an elder of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan lost control of his emotions and snapped his chopsticks. Lightning crackled around him, but he still suppressed it. Everyone present was someone of standing; losing his composure over a mere Yu Xiaogang would only-

Yu Xiaogang had truly made them lose face spectacularly.

"Well, Xue Ye, I suddenly remembered some urgent clan business. We'll be taking our leave."

The members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan cupped their hands toward Xue Ye and left one after another.

The other factions at the banquet all let out mocking laughs.

"To think Yu Yuanzhen, a distinguished Titled Douluo, actually has a eunuch for a son."

Only after watching the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's elders walk far away did everyone feel free to discuss it.

"I also heard that Yu Xiaogang wanted to marry his own cousin a few years ago."

"Ah, what a family misfortune for the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Xue Ye felt somewhat helpless, but also relieved. At least his Imperial Guards were not incapable of handling a mere Soul Grandmaster.

"Then beat him up and throw him out."

"Yes!" The guards rubbed their hands and flexed their fists. This was their specialty. They guaranteed they would beat Yu Xiaogang so badly that even Liu Erlong would not recognize him.

"What are you doing?! Stay away from me!"

Yu Xiaogang looked terrified. These men had just tried to take off his pants, and now they were approaching him again with ill intent.

"Wow, a fist-sized sandbag. How did you train that?"

Before Yu Xiaogang could react, the sandbag slammed hard into his face. Then the others closed in with deterrent rods. Yu Xiaogang was just about to shout to the heavens for help when he took a blow to the mouth. He struggled to his feet, only to take another hit to the leg.

After the little interlude with Yu Xiaogang, the banquet continued as usual. That night, Su Ling bid farewell to Xue Ye.

His Soul Power had now reached rank twenty-six. In just a few months, he would be able to break through to Soul Elder and obtain his third Soul Ring.

The next day, Su Ling was walking down the street when he suddenly felt someone following him. A figure behind him kept skulking around. Su Ling led the person into a dead end, then leaped up and vanished from the spot.

Dugu Yan stood there at a loss. She had thought she was hiding well, but she had still been discovered. Sensing someone behind her, she was just about to turn around.

Suddenly, she found it hard to breathe, as though someone had seized her by the throat of fate. Her vision went black, and she passed out.

By the time she woke again, it was already dusk. Dugu Yan's mouth was parched, and her whole body ached.

Looking at Su Ling sitting beside the bed, Dugu Yan dreamed up a memory that had never happened.

"You... you slept with me?"

Su Ling, who was drinking tea nearby, spat it all out.

"That's blatant slander! I certainly didn't take off your clothes and secretly do anything naughty under the pretext of examining your body."

Su Ling hurriedly waved his hands, indicating that he had nothing to do with it.

Only then did Dugu Yan realize that all her clothes had vanished. She frantically wrapped the blanket tightly around herself.

"And you still deny it! Boo-hoo, I'm no longer pure."

Su Ling wanted to explain, but he had no words.

Just as the atmosphere grew exceedingly awkward, Snow Ji walked in carrying Dugu Yan's clothes.

"I asked the hotel staff to wash your clothes."

Only then did Dugu Yan come to her senses. Had she wrongly accused Su Ling?

"Then why does my whole body ache?" Dugu Yan had read widely. This was clearly something that only happened after being screwed.

"Could it possibly be because of the serpent poison in your body?"

Somewhat speechless, Snow Ji rolled her eyes at Dugu Yan. Her Martial Soul was not big, but she certainly piled on the drama. Su Ling was only six right now. How could Dugu Yan invent even more scenes than she did?

But she herself was not inventing scenes. Ultimate Charm could break through age restrictions. One could say that, for the next few years, she alone would enjoy all that seminal experience.

Only then did Dugu Yan remember her actual business. After her grandfather was brutally beaten by Snow Ji, his poison had gone out of control, and he had gone into seclusion to suppress it. Yesterday had happened to be the day when her own poison needed suppressing.

That had left no one to help her suppress her Martial Soul's poison. Her whole body ached unbearably, so she had come out to seek Su Ling's help.

No longer caring whether she was wearing anything, Dugu Yan lunged forward and clung tightly to Su Ling's thigh.

"Please, save my grandfather!" Dugu Yan clutched Su Ling's clothes in a death grip. Even with Snow Ji frantically tugging at her, she could not pull the two apart.

"At least put your clothes on first." Su Ling braced one hand against Dugu Yan's head to keep her from advancing any farther, while pretending to be reserved and covering his eyes with the other. In reality, he secretly left a gap to peek through.

Double-slit interference!

"No, no! I won't let go unless you agree!"

Smack, smack! Snow Ji slapped Dugu Yan's little pert bottom twice. The damage was slight, but the humiliation was immense.

"I never said I wouldn't help you." Only then did Dugu Yan release Su Ling and retreat under the covers.

Although Dugu Bo was lacking in strength and not particularly bright, he was an exceptionally loyal man.

Presumably, his brain had not worked well to begin with, and the corrosion of the Jade Phosphorous Serpent Poison had left him completely incapable of thinking. Otherwise, he would hardly have handed the greatest opportunity on the entire Douluo Continent to someone else on a platter, then let himself be dragged out and used as a weapon.

Dugu Yan got dressed and came over to Su Ling.

"I'll take you to my grandfather."

Led by Dugu Yan, Su Ling and Snow Ji arrived at the edge of Sunset Forest. Dugu Yan was somewhat afraid of the dark, let alone the eerie Sunset Forest.

"How about we wait until tomorrow to go in?" Dugu Yan stood before the two and suggested.

"Huh? Aren't you afraid your grandfather won't make it through tonight?" This wonderfully filial granddaughter left even Su Ling speechless.

Dugu Yan felt a little guilty, but he felt that his grandfather should be able to endure one more night without anything going wrong. In any case, the serpent poison problem was about to be solved. If he did not experience what it felt like now, he would never have another chance.

Seeing that it was already late, the three unanimously decided to go in the next day. Su Ling pitched the tent he carried with him. It was just the right size for the three of them to sleep inside.

That night, the three lay in their hastily pitched tent and fell sound asleep in one another's arms. Snow Ji had Su Ling on her left and Dugu Yan on her right. Her left hand had something nice to feel, and her right hand had a nice handful. The left leaned toward a joystick, while the right leaned toward buttons.

Snow Ji recalled those days of playing Apex with a controller again-no, those days in Star Dou Great Forest, with Bi Ji on her left and Zi JI on her right.
