" Yanyan, there's no need to talk about those things. What would I, an old man with one foot in the grave, need such fine things for?"
"Besides, this is a betrothal gift that kid specially prepared for you. What would it look like if I took it?"
As Dugu Bo spoke, he smiled and looked at Dugu Yan.
The implication is quite clear.
bride price?!
Dugu Bo's words stunned both of them for a moment.
"What dowry? Grandpa, you're talking nonsense again!"
Dugu Yan blushed slightly, looking incredibly charming.
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, looking completely at ease.
"This dowry is certainly sufficient to marry my granddaughter."
I, Dugu Bo, have never wanted to owe anyone a favor in my life, but to be honest, this favor... I can't repay it.
As Dugu Bo spoke, he turned to look at Wang Xiaoming.
"I can tell that Yanyan and you two are both interested in each other, but you're both being so hesitant. Why don't you just talk things out today?"
"No... I didn't! Grandpa, how could you say such things!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan began to stammer incoherently, her face flushed with embarrassment.
She hadn't originally planned to bring this up now, after all... Lingling, who came first, hadn't made any substantial progress with Wang Xiaoming yet.
If she agreed first, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to control herself.
How will she face Ye Lingling then?
Dugu Bo has figured it out now.
A major reason why the two haven't made any progress is probably because of their granddaughter.
Since that's the case...
Dugu Yan's thoughts were no longer important.
She will naturally accept it as long as Wang Xiaoming expresses his opinion.
"I can't repay this favor, so I can only give you my most beloved treasure. Young man, are you willing to accept it?"
If he marries Dugu Yan, it means that all of Titled Douluo Dugu Bo, will belong to Wang Xiaoming in the future.
This naturally includes the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
This prize is one of the most valuable in the Douluo Continent.
This demonstrates Dugu Bo's sincerity.
If you treat him well, he will reciprocate with his whole heart.
Upon hearing this, Wang Xiaoming also looked at Dugu Yan. Their eyes met, and Wang Xiaoming saw a glimmer of hope in Dugu Yan's eyes.
She also wanted to know the answer.
If it weren't for Ye Lingling and the others... Dugu Yan would have boldly confessed her love long ago.
It wouldn't be like this now, weakly waiting for the other party's wishes.
A smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face.
" Yanyan, I want to accept Senior Dugu's treasure, what do you think?"
"I... I think it's fine. You can't have more than that... you idiot."
Dugu Yan bit her lip, her face as red as a peach blossom.
If Dugu Bo hadn't been there, she would have pounced on him long ago.
Seeing that Dugu Yan had made her stance clear, Wang Xiaoming stopped talking and directly pulled Dugu Yan into his arms.
At first, Dugu Yan was a little reserved, but leaning against the person she liked, she quickly succumbed and wrapped her arms around Wang Xiaoming's waist.
Upon seeing this, Dugu Bo also smiled.
The thing he worried about most in his life has finally been resolved.
Unfortunately, Xin'er couldn't see this scene...
Dugu Bo felt a lump in his throat and turned around to speak.
"Young Wang, you help Protector Yanyan absorb the Immortal Herb. I also need to find a quiet place to detoxify. If there's nothing else, don't look for me."
After saying this, Dugu Bo turned around and flew into the sky, disappearing into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
That old geezer of his is here, hindering his granddaughter's performance.
Watching Dugu Bo's figure disappear, Dugu Yan nestled in Wang Xiaoming's arms, feeling a little shy.
Now, only the two of them are left here.
While Dugu Yan was still thinking about what to do next, Wang Xiaoming released her, turned around, took the Immortal Herb, and handed it to Dugu Yan.
" Yanyan, let's go inside. This stuff might take an hour to absorb, so it's better to find a comfortable place to absorb it," Wang Xiaoming said earnestly.
Dugu Yan opened her mouth, but did not refute.
Indeed, disinfection is the most important thing right now.
We can't let Wang Xiaoming be frightened by his own poison...
"Okay, let's go."
Dugu Yan led Wang Xiaoming back to the house.
However, they didn't notice that the moment they entered the house, it was suddenly and silently sealed off by a surge of Soul Power.
It was Dugu Bo secretly did this good deed.
Wang Xiaoming helped Dugu Yan sit on the bed, then broke off the red crystal from the Earth Mother and placed it on the stove beside her, also throwing the tree root into the stove.
This stuff only needs to be heated and melted using the special flames ignited by the tree roots until it shrinks to the size of a thumb, then it can be consumed directly.
While Wang Xiaoming was doing his work, Dugu Yan quietly watched him from the side.
Now... she can look at her man openly and honestly.
After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Wang Xiaoming had finished refining the substance.
Wang Xiaoming held the melted Dragon Blood Crystal to Dugu Yan's lips.
"Come on, Yanyan, it's time for you to be reborn."
Dugu Yan hummed in agreement, opened her mouth and ate the thing, then teased Wang Xiaoming by rubbing her tongue against his finger.
"Remember to wait for me..."
"Don't worry, I'll always protect you."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Dugu Yan smiled.
The dragon blood she consumed instantly melted and began to transform Dugu Yan's body.
"Hmm..."
Dugu Yan grunted and quickly sat down to meditate, focusing on converting and absorbing the substance.
The tearing sensation emanating from her limbs and bones forced her to concentrate on dealing with it.
Wang Xiaoming stood guard nearby, observing Dugu Yan's evolutionary process closely.
An hour later, many thin films appeared on Dugu Yan's skin, as if she were peeling off layer by layer.
The newborn skin is even more delicate and tender than a baby's, radiating a luster like white jade.
Most importantly, an unprecedented Charm suddenly appeared on Dugu Yan's face, making her look even more seductive.
Not long after, Dugu Yan woke up and stretched with a relaxed expression.
With the toxins gone, she felt much lighter.
The faint fishy smell on his body also disappeared.
Thinking of this, she looked at Wang Xiaoming excitedly and pounced on him.
" Xiaoming, I did it!! The poison in my body is gone, and... I'm level 40 now!!"
Wang Xiaoming caught the excited Dugu Yan.
Feeling the softness wriggling in my arms, I could tell just how happy she was.
"Congratulations, Yanyan, you won't have to worry about snake venom anymore."
