Sure enough, the moment Yu Tianlong finished his last sentence, both girls lifted their chins, their eyes brimming with pride.
Pride in their grandfathers!
At the same time, their fondness for Yu Tianlong grew even stronger.
After all, who did not enjoy hearing nice things, even praise for their relatives?
In fact, Yu Tianlong had not been wrong. Across the entire continent, Titled Douluo were indeed as rare as phoenix feathers and qilin horns.
Every Titled Douluo was a prodigy of their era!
"Young junior, you've got quite an eye~"
"If Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone knew you thought so highly of them, Brother Long, they'd definitely be delighted!"
Yu Tianlong laughed heartily, then waved a hand.
"I'm only stating a few facts. Even if I didn't say anything, that wouldn't change how formidable the three grandfathers are!"
There was a reason people said the girls in Douluo were easy to fool.
With just a few short sentences, Dugu Yan's fondness for Yu Tianlong had nearly burst through the roof.
In the world Yu Tianlong had lived in during his previous life, playing the victim, manipulative mind games, and the like would never have earned anyone's sympathy. They might even have mocked him instead.
Yu Tianlong naturally understood that going too far was as bad as falling short, so after a few brief remarks, he changed the subject.
"All right, enough about that. Senior, could you take us to study?"
"Ever since I left the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan at six, I haven't had any systematic lessons about Soul Masters and Soul Beasts, so there's a lot I don't know."
Seeing Yu Tianlong's sincere gaze, Dugu Yan felt a sense of responsibility well up inside her.
She patted her chest and answered with a serious expression:
"Just leave this to me. I've studied for so many years, after all. Ask me anything you don't understand!"
When Ning Rongrong saw that Yu Tianlong did not even blink as Dugu Yan patted her chest, her lips immediately puckered into a pout.
She lowered her head to look at her own chest. For some reason, she could not shake the impression that she was a cut below.
Only after reassuring herself a few times that she was still young and would surely grow in the future did she recover.
Naturally, Dugu Yan had noticed both Yu Tianlong's gaze and Ning Rongrong's actions.
She could barely keep the corners of her mouth down.
Especially when she looked at Ning Rongrong. After all, although their earlier argument had failed to settle whose grandfather was the strongest,
she had won this time.
And she had crushed her opponent with an overwhelming advantage!
Ning Rongrong, who had finally managed to comfort herself, lost her composure again when she saw Dugu Yan's expression.
"Aaah! You're just a few years older than me! What's there to be so smug about? Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
Dugu Yan had wanted to argue back, but after a moment's thought, seeing how much Ning Rongrong cared about Yu Tianlong, a sly gleam flashed through her eyes.
Under Ning Rongrong's gaze, Dugu Yan walked straight over to Yu Tianlong, looped her hands around his arm, and pressed her body against it.
Then, her eyes bright with smiles, she slowly said to Yu Tianlong:
"Come on, young junior. Your senior will take you to study!"
At this sight, Ning Rongrong nearly exploded with anger. What gave her the right?
Although she had not spent long with Yu Tianlong, his personality suited her tastes perfectly. Coupled with Ning Fengzhi's instructions, that had led Ning Rongrong to consider Yu Tianlong her only friend.
And now her one and only friend was being clung to by a wicked woman!!!
Of course, that was not even the most important part. The most important part was that Yu Tianlong had not refused!
Ning Rongrong was furious. She immediately threw a little fit, stepped forward, and grabbed Yu Tianlong's other arm.
For some reason, seeing Ning Rongrong like this made Yu Tianlong want to laugh. Since when had the Little Demoness become so pitiful and aggrieved?
Compared with Dugu Yan's side, all he felt on Ning Rongrong's side was an uncomfortable boniness.
It was only because both the girls and he were still too young that he had little interest. Otherwise, Yu Tianlong could have coaxed them into bearing him eight children.
Seeing Ning Rongrong lose her composure, Dugu Yan's smile grew even more pronounced.
With Dugu Yan leading them, Yu Tianlong and Ning Rongrong headed off to study.
Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng was lying in a hospital bed. A healing-type Soul Master stood beside it, examining his injuries with a deep frown.
"Are you sure you want it reattached?"
Hearing this, Qin Ming hurriedly nodded.
"Yes. Whatever it takes, it has to be reattached. He's the grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's clan leader. Please!"
The man felt quite helpless at that.
"I can reattach it. It's an external injury, after all, and you brought him here in time."
"But there's something I need to tell you. This young man has suffered damage to his root, and both his eggs are already mangled, so they can only be cut away. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
Qin Ming was dumbfounded, but he still refused to give up entirely.
"Doctor, sorry for the trouble, but could you explain a little more clearly?"
Helpless, the doctor could only make his explanation clearer.
"I mean that whether this young man has it reattached or not won't make much difference. Even reattached, it'll only be for show. It won't have that function anymore, and it'll actually interfere with his ability to urinate normally."
At that moment, Qin Ming desperately wished he had not understood.
What a terrible tragedy!
After thinking it over, Qin Ming decided to have it reattached for him anyway. It was a symbol of manhood, at least.
It would preserve some shred of dignity for Yu Tianheng. At worst, things would just be a little more troublesome in the future: regularly cleaning his trousers or squatting to pee!
How big a deal could that be?
He believed Yu Tianheng would understand. After all, he had not been the one to do it.
And the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan could hardly pin the blame on him, even if they wanted to.
"Doctor, sorry for the trouble. Please reattach it for him."
"All right!"
In truth, Yu Tianheng had woken up long ago.
But after hearing their conversation, he felt too ashamed to face anyone, so he chose to remain silent.
Learning that he might have to live as a eunuch from now on, he still shed tears of regret.
He hid beneath the covers, quietly sobbing.
Noticing the movement, Qin Ming and the doctor did not expose Yu Tianheng. They merely sighed.
After all, any man could feel some measure of shared pain when something like this happened, so they understood his breakdown very well!
But they could not leave yet, because an injury like this could not be left for too long.
After a few seconds of silence, the doctor thought of how Yu Tianheng was already awake and, out of respect, asked him a question.
"Yu Tianheng, do you want it reattached?"
Yu Tianheng's sobbing paused. Only after a long while did his voice emerge from beneath the covers.
"Reattach it."
"Then bear with it. The process might hurt a little. Your wound has already healed, after all. To reattach it, I'll have to cut away some flesh and reconnect it."
Hearing the doctor's words, Qin Ming felt rather embarrassed. After all, the wound had healed because he had asked Ye Lingling to treat it.
The main thing was that he had not known it would turn out like this either.
