After Dugu Bo finished speaking, Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather in shock.
A myriad of questions filled her mind, wondering why, despite everything, he still insisted on her marrying Ye Qiu and fulfilling that ridiculous engagement!
Then, a sharp glint flashed in her eyes as she looked at Ye Qiu, biting her lip and staring fixedly at him!
"Hehe..." Ye Qiu forced a bitter smile, "Well, this junior's age really isn't suitable... Miss Dugu should already be sixteen or seventeen!"
"Enough!"
Bang! The table in front of Dugu Bo was shattered by his palm strike!
Even Dugu Yan shot him a look of hatred; this scoundrel actually showed such disdain for her! He even came up with such a casual excuse!
"Junior! You should at least find a more decent excuse!"
Dugu Bo was also enraged; this boy truly didn't know what was good for him. Even Yan Yan had been won over by him; all he had to do was nod, and he could gain a beautiful wife and a Titled Douluo as a backer.
Yet, this boy kept refusing!
"Senior! Ye Qiu didn't lie! This junior had a fortuitous encounter before, so his body grew a bit fast, making him look no different from an adult!"
Swish! Dugu Bo flashed, appearing in front of Ye Qiu, grabbing his wrist to examine it.
"Oh? You really weren't lying?"
He looked at Ye Qiu with surprise, his eyes filled with even more satisfaction; such a young Spirit Grandmaster was truly rare!
Dugu Yan also looked at Ye Qiu with some surprise, not expecting him to be able to easily overpower a Level 35 Yu Tianheng at such a young age.
Then she let out another cold snort, her eyes still filled with hatred; even so, it didn't change the fact that he was a lecher!
Moreover, he was a philandering scoundrel!
Dugu Bo released Ye Qiu's hand, seeing his troubled expression, and knew he couldn't push too hard.
With his hands clasped behind his back, he walked past Ye Qiu, sighing.
"Sigh! Fine, fine! Your own matters, you can handle them yourselves. I won't interfere too much."
"Phew~" Ye Qiu also let out a sigh of relief; this was truly too difficult. He still had some doubts now, wondering how his father could have set up such an engagement for him?
At this moment, Dugu Yan also walked in front of Ye Qiu, her expression icy. "Am I making things very difficult for you?"
"Miss Dugu... Ah!"
Just as Ye Qiu opened his mouth, Dugu Yan raised her fist and punched Ye Qiu in the eye.
"Hmph! Lecher!" Looking at Ye Qiu, who was covering his eye and bending over, Dugu Yan barked again!
She then silently ran back to her room.
"Hehe...!" Dugu Bo, who had been observing the two of them out of the corner of his eye, let out a few soft, strange chuckles when he saw his granddaughter's reaction.
His goal had been achieved.
With the existence of this baseless engagement, even if they originally had no such thoughts, it was inevitable that something would arise, and they would surely have various interactions.
He had also told Yan Yan that this was her parents' wish, so Yan Yan would surely pay some attention!
It won't work out? No problem, with him around, there would be no surprises!
Ye Qiu, this potential stock, his Dugu Clan was determined to invest in! Even the Creator God coming wouldn't help, Dugu Bo said so!
He turned his head to look at Ye Qiu, whose left eye socket was somewhat bruised.
"Cough cough!" Dugu Bo coughed a few times, replacing the smugness on his face with a look of disappointment, then turned back to Ye Qiu.
"Junior! Are you alright?"
"No... no problem!" Ye Qiu activated his Right Leg Bone, and the bruising around his eye slowly disappeared.
"Yan Yan's temper is just like that, don't take it to heart!"
Ye Qiu shook his head.
"It was indeed I who first offended Miss Dugu!"
"Since you're fine, let's talk about the detoxification!"
"Mm! Understood!"
Dugu Bo stepped into the shed, only to suddenly realize that the table there had been shattered by him, so he had to lead Ye Qiu into the room.
The two talked for a long time in the room.
Ye Qiu had already explained the solution for the toxins to Dugu Bo!
At the same time, after learning more, Ye Qiu also understood why Dugu Yan's toxin backlash was so severe!
It turned out that after she consumed the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, although her Spirit immediately evolved into a Jade Phosphor Serpent, the medicinal power had not yet been fully absorbed, and her Spirit was still in the process of evolution, transforming from a snake into a flood dragon!
No wonder the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan sent Yu Tianheng to approach her; they must have discovered the signs of her Spirit's evolution!
"Sigh~ I shouldn't have told her about the effects of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon before."
Dugu Bo was also somewhat helpless; in order to let his granddaughter have a happy time, he had never told her the secret of her severe poisoning.
"Senior Dugu, don't worry, I will do my best to cure both you and your granddaughter! However, I need to use some herbs from around the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!"
Ye Qiu readily agreed, and at the same time, he didn't forget his original purpose for coming here.
"Your words reassure me! As for those herbs, they are rightfully yours; do as you see fit!"
Dugu Bo waved his hand, not caring much about those herbs.
After all, besides that big wonder chrysanthemum, he didn't recognize any of the other things.
Moreover, in the future, when Ye Qiu became his grandson-in-law, those things would still belong to his Dugu Clan!
As soon as he thought of this, he couldn't help but let out a cackling laugh.
"Hehe... Junior! But when Yan Yan's toxins are mostly resolved, you'll have to help her get a powerful spirit ring! After all, she is your fiancée!"
Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu with a smile. Although he didn't know much about Ye Qiu's abilities, it was evident from his benefactor.
Because of the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, Dugu Yan had broken through to Level 40 early, but she had always been afraid to acquire a spirit ring, to prevent the toxins from deepening and worsening!
Now it seemed that it was truly a blessing in disguise!
"..." Ye Qiu gave him a speechless look; he increasingly suspected that the so-called engagement was made up by this old man himself!
"Senior Dugu, please don't say such things anymore. As for Miss Dugu's fourth spirit ring, I will definitely help, after all, she still lacks a Spirit Bone to store toxins, doesn't she?"
"Hmph! Junior, what's wrong with my Yan Yan?" Dugu Bo said unhappily.
"Alright, alright!" Seeing Ye Qiu still wanting to argue, Dugu Bo impatiently waved his hand, no longer wanting to say anything more.
"Hmph! You should go and rest well first; that antidote isn't urgent!"
"Mm! Then I'll go rest first!" Ye Qiu bowed and took his leave.
Walking out of the room, Ye Qiu found that moonlight was still falling from above; this barrier was truly wondrous!
He walked towards the room where he had first lain down upon arrival. On the way, Ye Qiu's footsteps suddenly paused.
He saw a graceful figure standing near the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, by the milky white spring, illuminated by the faint glow of exotic flowers and plants.
She was staring blankly at the half-pool of cold spring water.
Ye Qiu was about to lift his foot and walk over, but then he thought of something else, having some reservations, so he stopped and continued walking towards his room.
However, he still couldn't rest easy.
"Miss Dugu, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well emits two extreme forces around it. Standing there for a long time might harm your body. It's better to go back and rest early!"
After speaking, Ye Qiu quietly watched her for a few seconds. Seeing that she didn't move, he frowned, then opened the door and entered his room!
"Bastard! This little brat!"
Dugu Bo, watching from the window, cursed softly, very dissatisfied with Ye Qiu's inaction!
He quickly walked out of the room.
