Douluo Continent: Protect Our Spirit Hall

Chapter 301 A Masterpiece, a Finished Deed

Chapter 301 My Signature Move—Cooking Rice

Seeing the shocked look on his granddaughter Dugu Yan's face.

Dugu Bo immediately realized that she seemed to have misunderstood something. He flicked her forehead with his finger and said in an annoyed tone:

"What nonsense are you thinking?"

"Although your grandmother and I are both from the Dugu clan, we are not related by blood at all."

"Our Dugu clan is not large, but it has had its glory days. Moreover, we do not have those strict and outdated rules, and we do not restrict clan members from intermarrying with other clans, so there are also some collateral branches."

"Your grandfather is from the main branch of the family. Your grandmother, on the other hand, comes from a remote branch. If we're talking about blood relations, we have to trace back almost ten generations to our ancestors."

"So we are not engaged in consanguineous marriage."

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan suddenly realized what had happened and felt somewhat embarrassed for misunderstanding her grandparents.

Dugu Bo did not blame her.

After explaining, he thought for a moment and then shared some knowledge and experiences about Soul Masters with her:

"Yanyan, you must know that Soul Masters should never marry close relatives."

"If close relatives marry, there is a very high probability that the offspring's martial soul will undergo a reverse mutation, which is considered taboo among soul masters."

"However, there are also some clans that, in order to maintain the purity of their clan's bloodline, disregard ethics and take risks, occasionally giving birth to some useless people whose martial souls have mutated in reverse."

"For example, that damn Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan that Yu Tianheng belongs to."

"That's why Grandpa told you to stay away from that kid."

"Huh? There's such a thing?"

Dugu Yan's eyes widened, her gaze filled with shock once again, and she froze completely.

At the same time, she felt a wave of fear and secretly rejoiced that she had listened to her grandfather and hadn't paid much attention to Yu Tianheng's pursuit.

Otherwise, it will be too late to regret it.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore."

Dugu Bo waved his hand and glanced at the lush, dense forest below. They had now reached the outer edge of the Sunset Forest.

There are still nearly a thousand kilometers to go before reaching our destination, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

Turning his gaze away from the forest below, Dugu Bo looked at his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and said to her:

"Yanyan, the place Grandpa is taking you to this time is Grandpa's herb garden."

"We have now reached the outskirts of Sunset Forest, but the herb garden is located deep within Sunset Forest. We still have a long way to go."

"Grandpa's herb garden was in a place called the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye."

Then, meeting his granddaughter Dugu Yan's curious gaze, Dugu Bo gave her a detailed explanation of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

After introducing the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, Dugu Bo thought of Ye Qifeng and added a few more words:

"Yanyan, the husband I found for you is right now at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well. When the time comes, you must remember to seize the opportunity and take the initiative, understand?"

"Oh dear, Grandpa, why are you bringing him up again? You've mentioned him so many times on the way here."

Dugu Yan blushed and said coquettishly:

"I know that he provided our Dugu clan with a powerful poison technique manual, which helped you and me get rid of the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Serpent venom. He saved our lives."

"But I have to make that clear first."

"Although I am very grateful to him, I will not think too highly of him because of this."

"After all, Grandpa, you just said that he traded that poison technique manual to you because of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and the various herbs inside. He's already not at a loss."

"In short, without knowing him well enough, I'm not going to shamelessly throw myself at him like you suggested, Grandpa."

"Unless he's truly a wonderful person, someone who can make my heart flutter, then forget it! Hmph~~"

After saying that, Dugu Yan gave a haughty snort.

"Okay then."

Dugu Boyu paused for a moment; he was indeed a bit too impatient.

We still can't rush things.

My granddaughter is fifteen years old now, which is the age when she is going through a rebellious phase. It would be bad if I aroused her rebellious mentality.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

After her granddaughter met the Holy Son Ye Qifeng, she gained a better understanding of him.

He believed that his granddaughter would definitely like the Holy Son.

After all, no woman would dislike a prodigy like the Holy Son, whose talent, character, appearance, and temperament are all exceptional.

Dugu Bo asked himself honestly, if he were a woman, he would definitely be unable to resist falling for her and becoming fascinated by her.

Also.

Dugu Bo believed he knew his granddaughter Dugu Yan's requirements and preferences for a partner quite well.

First, one must have excellent talent and ability, at least comparable to hers.

In the Douluo Continent, strength reigns supreme; only those with powerful talent and strength can have a better future.

Secondly, one's appearance cannot be too bad; ideally, one should be handsome enough.

After all, everyone has a love for beauty.

The granddaughter, of course, was no exception.

Finally, there is the matter of mind and character, which is the most important requirement.

Character is related to ability; only those with a good character can go further.

Character is the foundation of being a person, concerning how one conducts oneself and how one treats others.

Only those with good character can earn respect and love.

If someone's character is too wicked and terrible, they will only become a criminal, and the granddaughter would not look favorably upon such a person.

Dugu Bo saw it very clearly.

In the eyes of her granddaughter Dugu Yan, a potential partner must have a good character and temperament; otherwise, it's out of the question.

That's exactly right.

For Saint Ye Qifeng, his granddaughter's requirements for her other half were nothing.

Not only did it meet all the requirements, but it also far exceeded expectations.

Dugu Bo firmly believed that after meeting the Holy Son Ye Qifeng, there was a high probability that his granddaughter would fall in love with him.

Therefore, he doesn't need to worry about his granddaughter.

What we should be considering now is Saint Ziye Qifeng's side.

What if the Holy Son doesn't fancy his granddaughter, while his granddaughter is hopelessly infatuated with him?

That would be troublesome.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little worried.

But upon closer reflection, it doesn't seem like a big deal.

Anyway, let's bring my granddaughter over and let her meet the Holy Son Ye Qifeng first.

As for what to do next, we can figure it out slowly.

Ultimately, success depends on human effort.

If all else fails, then he'll have to resort to his ultimate trick: secretly drugging his granddaughter Dugu Yan and the Holy Son Ye Qifeng, forcing them into a fait accompli.

With this thought, Dugu Bo instantly felt clear-headed and at ease.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat, turned to look at his granddaughter, Dugu Yan, and a smile bloomed on his sunken face:

"Ahem, well, Yan Yan, the husband Grandpa introduced to you is truly a wonderful person. Grandpa guarantees you'll like him."

"Grandpa, you're here again."

Dugu Yan stomped her foot in embarrassment and annoyance, causing ripples to spread across the emerald green transparent soul power shield that was protecting her.

Seeing his granddaughter Dugu Yan's little mouth about to pout again, Dugu Bo smiled sheepishly and added one last thing:

"Uh, okay, Grandpa won't say anymore. You'll see for yourself when you meet him."

Then he stopped talking.

The grandfather and grandson finally quieted down.

Dugu Bo maintained his soul power output, carrying his granddaughter Dugu Yan, and flew swiftly over the dense Sunset Forest.

After feeling secretly shy for a while, Dugu Yan focused her attention on herself.

Continue practicing according to the circulation route of the poison technique.

He refined and purified the venom of the Azure Phosphorus Serpent within his body, condensing it into a poison pill and transforming it into poison-based martial arts power.

Time passed quickly, second by second.

In the blink of an eye, more than four hours had passed.

The entire Sunset Forest was already shrouded in night.

Within the realm of ice and fire.

Ghost and Raven were sitting around a campfire, enjoying their dinner: roasted rabbit.

This is no ordinary rabbit.

Instead, the low-level soul beasts that can be seen everywhere in the outer area of ​​Sunset Forest, the Soft Bone Rabbit, are specifically captured by the ghosts.

As instructed by Ye Qifeng.

During the day, Ghost took Raven out for a while.

The two returned to the outer and central areas of Sunset Forest and searched for and captured a spirit beast for Raven to use as her second spirit ring.

Of course, Raven's second spirit ring was absorbed at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well under the care of Ye Qifeng.

This is for safety reasons.

After all, Raven's second spirit ring has an age limit of 1,800 years.

This lifespan exceeds the theoretical limit of 1,760 years for a normal Soul Master's third Soul Ring, and it is also close to the lifespan limit that Raven's current physique can withstand.

However, with Ye Qifeng's help, Raven successfully absorbed her second soul ring, officially breaking through to the Great Soul Master realm, and her soul power level also increased to level twenty-three.

In addition, it is worth mentioning that...

The second spirit ring granted Raven a spirit skill that combines both attack and control.

It's called the Wrath of the Soul!

When the Soul's Fury skill is activated.

Riven's spirit sword will unleash a powerful runic energy, stunning surrounding enemies and dealing damage and stunning them.

Furthermore, the skill's range and stun duration are also scalable, increasing as the user's soul power level grows.

It can be said that Soul Suppressing Wrath is an extremely powerful offensive soul skill with both attack and crowd control capabilities.

When Dugu Bo arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well with his granddaughter Dugu Yan, who was filled with amazement.

Night had fallen for more than an hour.

The ghost sitting by the campfire sensed Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's arrival as they approached the valley above the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire.

However, the ghost made no announcement and took no action.

Not long ago.

From the Seven Winds of the Night.

Ghostly Demon already knew that while he was consuming the celestial herbs and absorbing their medicinal power, Dugu Bo had already submitted to the Holy Son and acknowledged the Holy Son as his master.

When the ghost heard this news, it shocked him quite a bit.

At first, he couldn't help but doubt Dugu Bo's motives, suspecting that Dugu Bo had ulterior motives for doing this.

But upon closer reflection, I realized...

With His Highness's miraculous methods and unparalleled charm, it's perfectly simple and normal for him to make a mere Dugu Bo willingly submit.

So the ghost quickly accepted this fact.

Dugu Bo, carrying his granddaughter Dugu Yan, landed lightly beside the campfire.

They saw Dugu Bo arrive.

The ghostly figure, shrouded entirely in a black robe, merely nodded slightly to Dugu Bo, then glanced at Dugu Yan before offering no further comment.

The sensible Raven politely stood up, waved her little hand at Dugu Bo, and greeted him:

"Senior Dugu Bo, you're back."

Dugu Bo nodded slightly in response to the ghostly figure.

Then he looked at Raven, forced a gentle smile, waved to her, laughed, and replied:

"Haha, hello there, little Raven."

Dugu Bo was still very tolerant and fond of the polite and talented Raven.

"Huh? Level 23 soul power?"

Suddenly, Dugu Bo stopped waving. He seemed to have discovered something and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

He immediately released his spiritual power, attaching it to Raven's body and carefully sensing it. He finally confirmed that Raven's soul power level had indeed reached level twenty-three.

An eight-year-old Great Soul Master with level 23 Soul Power!

Wow, no wonder he's a genius with innate full soul power, truly extraordinary.

However, the presence of high-quality medicinal herbs should also play a role in this.

Otherwise, she probably wouldn't have been able to absorb two spirit rings in a row and leap from a spirit warrior to a great spirit master in one go.

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue in amazement.

"Who is this pretty lady?"

At this moment, Raven pointed her little finger at Dugu Yan, who was constantly scanning her surroundings as if searching for something, and asked in a clear voice.

"This is my granddaughter, Dugu Yan, who is fifteen years old. You can call her Sister Yan Yan."

Dugu Bo introduced his granddaughter to Ruiwen.

Of course, it was also meant to be introduced to ghosts and spirits.

After all, it seems that Ghost has already figured out why he brought his granddaughter here.

"So you're your granddaughter, senior."

Raven looked up at her older sister's spirited face and greeted her in a clear voice:

"Hello, Sister Yan Yan."

"Ah, hello."

Dugu Yan snapped out of her daze, looked at Raven with her beautiful lotus-shaped hair, and smiled as she replied.

Then he turned his head and looked around.

It was easy to see that she seemed somewhat distracted.

Seeing his granddaughter like this, Dugu Bo reached out and patted her shoulder, drawing her attention back to her.

"Yanyan, be serious, don't be impolite."

"The little girl in front of you is named Raven. She is a genius with innate full soul power."

"Huh? Innate full soul power?"

Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized what was happening.

Then I was shocked.

She quickly abandoned her search for that figure, snapped back to reality, knelt down so her eyes were level with Raven's, and apologized, saying:

"Sorry, I was just spacing out. Your name is Raven, right? Hello."

"It's okay."

Raven waved her hand dismissively and asked with a smile:

"Is Sister Yanyan looking for Brother Ye?"

She noticed that ever since this spirited and beautiful woman arrived in the valley, apart from initially showing some interest and surprise at the surrounding environment, her gaze had been constantly wandering around, as if searching for someone, which is why she seemed somewhat indifferent.

She guessed that Sister Yan Yan was probably looking for Brother Ye.

That's why I asked that question.

"Brother Ye?"

Upon hearing the question, Dugu Yan was stunned.

"It's the boy Grandpa told you about, his name is Ye Qifeng."

Dugu Bo leaned close to her ear and whispered an explanation.

"It's him?"

Dugu Yan immediately understood, and then asked:

Where is he?

Raven pointed to the magical spring at the bottom of the valley, its waters a mixture of milky white and crimson:

"Brother Ye is cultivating under the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire."
