Without asking too many questions,
Ye Qiu felt a sense of solemnity as he followed Dugu Bo downwards.
This World seemed to have undergone some changes he wasn't aware of, and the future seemed to hold more uncertainties.
Should he investigate these matters when the time came?
After all, that guy named Ye Xiu seemed to be intricately linked to him!
Feeling the wind across his face gradually lessen, indicating they were closer to the bottom, Ye Qiu's feet had not yet touched the ground.
He saw a somewhat weak Dugu Yan emerge from a small wooden house located near the spring.
She looked around, seeing no one, then rubbed her eyes again.
Dugu Bo's figure had already appeared before her.
"Grandpa!" she exclaimed, running and throwing herself into Dugu Bo's arms.
"Yan Yan, how are you? Is your body alright now?" Dugu Bo asked with a smile, clearly in a good mood!
Dugu Yan shook her head, "I'm fine, much better now!"
"Grandpa, where's that scoundrel! Did you catch him? I must teach him a good lesson!"
Even after waking up from a nap, her face still pale, recalling that scene made her cheeks burn fiercely.
At that time, she had even bitten and gnawed at him...
That guy, he deserved to die!
Not far behind her, Ye Qiu, who was slowly descending, heard her voice and dared not make a sound.
Although Dugu Yan had gone from wanting to kill him to merely wanting to punish or teach him a lesson,
this indeed made Ye Qiu breathe a sigh of relief.
However, he was in the wrong in this matter, and Ye Qiu still found it difficult to face her.
Guilty!
"Haha... Of course, Grandpa caught him!" Dugu Bo's gaze shifted towards Ye Qiu, with a hint of playfulness.
"Look! Isn't he right behind you?"
"Senior Dugu! You..."
Seeing Dugu Bo pointing at him with a gloating smile,
Ye Qiu's face couldn't help but flush with embarrassment. Was this old man not bothered by watching the drama unfold?
"Ye Qiu! You scoundrel!"
Dugu Yan turned around and immediately charged towards Ye Qiu.
"Miss Dugu, I truly didn't mean to!" Ye Qiu quickly switched to his Mangekyo Sharingan state.
Dugu Bo, meanwhile, leisurely returned to the wooden shed, sat down, and sipped his tea.
He didn't forget to remind Dugu Yan.
"Yan Yan! Don't use your Spirit anymore, be careful of the poison backlashing again."
"Understood, Grandpa!" Dugu Yan replied, already rushing towards Ye Qiu.
The dagger she swung was green and clearly coated with potent poison.
"Miss Dugu! Is this really necessary?"
Ye Qiu looked at the sharp weapon in her hand, speechless. You call this a lesson?
"What do you mean, not necessary! You bastard! That was my first kiss! Ah!"
Dugu Yan furiously attacked Ye Qiu, but she couldn't harm him.
Dugu Yan's anger, however, only accumulated more and more. Her green pupils, even without Spirit possession, became somewhat sharp.
Dugu Bo, meanwhile, sat calmly to the side, contemplating something.
His eyes occasionally looked at Ye Qiu, then at his granddaughter, and then he nodded to himself as if no one else was there.
He muttered something under his breath.
"Ah! Ye Qiu, if you have the guts, don't use your cheating Spirit Ability!"
Dugu Yan was panting heavily, drenched in sweat, her clothes clinging to her delicate body, revealing her curves completely.
She propped herself up with both hands on her knees, revealing a hint of cleavage.
Their figures overlapped, and Dugu Yan was unwilling to move away for even a moment.
"Senior Dugu! You should persuade her, if this continues, she won't be able to handle it!"
"Bah! Grandpa, don't listen to him, help Yan Yan catch him! Otherwise, otherwise, I'll pull out all your beard!"
"Pfft! Cough, cough!"
Dugu Bo, who was sipping tea nearby, choked on his tea and finally ended his contemplation.
"Cough, cough...!" Dugu Bo cleared his throat a few times, seemingly preparing his words.
"Yan Yan! Actually, given your relationship, there's no need to care about such things!"
"Grandpa! What do you mean by that? What do you mean, don't care about such things! That, that was my first time!"
"Cough, cough!" Hearing Dugu Yan's words, Ye Qiu couldn't help but cough. How was this getting more and more out of hand!
He was about to explain, but Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes glared him back.
"Hehe..." Dugu Bo smiled mysteriously, giving Ye Qiu a meaningful look.
"Because you are his fiancée! Actually, I had already arranged a marriage for the two of you with Benefactor!"
"What!?" x2
Ye Qiu looked at Dugu Bo blankly. When did this happen? Why didn't you mention it just now?
Dugu Yan, meanwhile, looked at Ye Qiu in shock. This scoundrel was her fiancé? What a joke!
"Senior Dugu! You shouldn't talk nonsense. At that time, Miss Dugu and I didn't even know where we were! How could such a marriage be arranged!"
Regarding this matter, Ye Qiu naturally expressed strong doubts and objections.
"What? Do you think this old man is lying to you?"
Bang! Dugu Bo slammed the table heavily, his face filled with anger, and said earnestly:
"This was verbally agreed upon by your father and me personally. If there were suitable children in the family, we would be willing to become in-laws with Benefactor! At that time, Benefactor also nodded in agreement!"
"I... I naturally don't believe Senior would lie to me." Feeling Dugu Bo's imposing aura, Ye Qiu didn't dare to speak carelessly.
"Then you mean you're willing?" Dugu Bo's voice softened.
"Grandpa! How can this be? This guy is not a good person at all! I disagree!"
Dugu Yan also reacted, glaring fiercely at Ye Qiu, then ran to Dugu Bo's side, shaking his shoulders vigorously.
"Yan Yan! Don't be unreasonable! Your parents also agreed to this! This can also be considered their last wish!"
Dugu Bo knew he couldn't stand his granddaughter's persistent nagging, so he directly brought out the big gun!
As soon as Dugu Yan's parents were mentioned, Dugu Yan seemed to calm down considerably.
She looked at Dugu Bo in disbelief.
"Grandpa, you're lying to me, aren't you! Why have I never heard you mention this before! How could Dad and Mom agree to such a thing!?"
Dugu Bo dared not look into her eyes, "It's true. Your parents' lives were preserved until now, thanks to the methods left by Benefactor!"
"That Earth Dragon Golden Melon you secretly ate was the betrothal gift from Benefactor!"
At this point, Dugu Bo's voice even became somewhat stern.
Who knew how angry he was when he found out that his granddaughter had secretly eaten the Earth Dragon Golden Melon!
For her, it was a deadly poison!
If Ye Qiu hadn't appeared in time, he might have truly experienced the sorrow of a parent burying their child!
He was simply venting the anger he had felt before!
Dugu Yan, who was rarely yelled at by Dugu Bo, stood frozen in place, her eyes turning red, looking at Dugu Bo stubbornly.
Then she looked at Ye Qiu, tears flashing in her eyes, and her complex gaze even held killing intent.
But in just a moment, it slowly dissipated as if she had accepted her fate, biting her lip and slowly lowering her head.
"Kid! You don't need to worry about Yan Yan, just give me a straight answer, do you acknowledge this engagement or not?"
After dealing with Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo asked Ye Qiu again.
"Uh... I... cough, cough!" Looking at the inconsistent gazes of the grandfather and granddaughter, Ye Qiu felt immense pressure!
His Sharingan disappeared, and he respectfully said to Dugu Bo,
"Please forgive this junior for being unable to comply!"
"Kid! What do you mean? Is my Yan Yan not good enough for you?"
"How could that be! Miss Dugu is naturally beautiful, well-educated... cough, cough!" Ye Qiu had never really praised a girl before, and he stumbled over his words for a moment.
After reorganizing his thoughts, Ye Qiu became serious.
"Miss Dugu is very good, but I already have someone in my heart! And it seems there's more than one!"
"You kid!?"
Dugu Bo nearly slammed the table, not expecting this guy to be such a playboy!
Weighing his options, he glanced at Dugu Yan beside him, and with a thick skin, he spoke again.
"Hmph! What's wrong with having multiple wives and concubines! As long as my Yan Yan is the main one, that's fine!"
