Chapter 48 Dugu Yan Doesn't Want to Be a Loser
"Xiao Mo, do you want a wife?"
Dugu Bo's slightly excited voice rang in Xie Mo's ears. Xie Mo glanced at Dugu Bo in surprise. Why was he in such a hurry to give his granddaughter to him?
"Please tell me more about it."
Thinking of Dugu Yan's supple waist and smooth skin, Xie Mo's face began to flush.
Do you like Lingling?
Xie Mo wondered if he had misheard. He looked at Dugu Bo again to confirm, and the seriousness in his eyes showed that he had not said anything wrong.
No, Master, aren't you Sister Yan's grandfather? How come you're involved with another girl?
"Master, please speak frankly."
Xie Mo had some guesses in his mind, but he wasn't sure yet.
"Actually, I just don't know if you have any immortal items that can solve the problem of the Nine Heart Begonia Martial Soul. The Ye family is quite pitiful. With your genius and the ability to solve the problem of the Martial Soul's defects, Lingling will definitely want to be your wife."
"Of course, the choice is entirely yours. I'm just mentioning it casually, so don't tell Yan'er."
Dugu Bo couldn't help but tell Xie Mo about it. He knew his old friend was embarrassed to ask, but he didn't care about such things.
"You know you shouldn't tell Sister Yan, right? You're Sister Yan's grandfather. What kind of nonsense is it to bring Sister Lingling, Sister Yan's best friend, into this?"
Xie Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. All the other titled Douluos tried their best to maintain a dignified appearance, but only Dugu Bo was disrespectful to his elders and did nothing of importance.
Ye Wuyou's ears twitched slightly in the distance before quickly falling silent again, while Dugu Yan was nearby dealing with the soul beast she had captured for dinner.
"I'm just mentioning it; it's all up to you."
Dugu Bo scratched his messy white hair, turned around, and prepared to wake Ye Wuyou. He had done all he could; the rest was up to his old brother.
Xie Mo had a look of both amusement and exasperation on his face. In the original work, Dugu Bo's image was just cold words, but after getting to know him personally, he found that this guy was actually quite interesting.
As for Ye Lingling becoming his wife, Xie Mo wouldn't refuse. He already had a good impression of Ye Lingling from the original work, and after getting to know her personally, he liked her even more. Her quiet and kind nature was the most endearing.
Moreover, Ye Lingling's healing abilities are also very useful to him. If he eats a magical herb, he might even be noticed by a deity related to life.
What makes him most hesitant is whether it would be considered taking advantage of someone's kindness, somewhat like Zhang Lexuan and Bei Bei ten thousand years later. If it comes to the end, he doesn't know whether what sustains their relationship is affection or gratitude.
Xie Mo felt he was being a bit pretentious, so he happily ran over to help Dugu Yan prepare dinner for the day. There was plenty of time in the future for them to think about it.
"What did Grandpa want to talk to you about?"
Dugu Yan asked casually, seemingly unintentionally, "My grandfather pulled my younger brother away as soon as he came in. Could it be related to that girl from the Spirit Hall?"
She felt that she was almost completely outmatched by him in every way, and her only advantage was that she was relatively close to Xie Mo.
However, in the novels her friends showed her, she always ended up as the loser, while the other person became her childhood sweetheart, someone unattainable, who would eventually appear out of nowhere and make her the loser, while Xie Mo would be happily together with the other person.
The more she thought about it, the more panicked she became, and her eyes grew increasingly deep. Should she go and learn poison skills from her grandfather?
Feeling Dugu Yan's increasingly cold gaze, Xie Mo subconsciously shivered.
"It's about Sister Lingling. You know about the flaw in their family's martial soul, Sister Yan, but I don't have any clue about it for the time being."
Hearing Xie Mo's explanation, Dugu Yan's coldness gradually dissipated, and a smile returned to her face as she cooked dinner with Xie Mo.
After a hearty meal, Dugu Bo decided to send Ye Wuyou back that very night. Ye Wuyou was old after all, and being a support-type Soul Master, his physical condition was not strong. He was old and frail, so he decided not to bother him. Now that he was back, he could get a good night's sleep.
Ye Wuyou did not refuse, but after giving Xie Mo a complicated look, she obediently followed Dugu Bo away.
Only Dugu Yan and Xie Mo remained. The Sunset Forest was rather cold at night, and the howling wind swept through the trees, taking away the remaining warmth from the daytime.
"Sister Yan, shall we go back to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well?"
Xie Mo suggested that since no one knew when Dugu Bo would be able to return, they couldn't just stay here exposed to the wind forever.
"good!"
Dugu Yan readily agreed. The thought of a dark and windy night, a lone man and woman alone in a room, excited Dugu Yan.
Patting her slightly flushed face, Dugu Yan decided to go back and stop reading those novels; they were truly harmful.
The two quickly arrived at the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire. The steep mountain wall did not stop them. The rising heat was faintly visible in the dim light.
Xie Mo didn't care about Dugu Yan's thoughts. His mind was full of those immortal herbs. Power was like his limbs, women were like clothes, only power would never abandon him.
"Sister Yan, do you know?"
"Every immortal herb here can lay the foundation for becoming a Title Douluo. If one has strong talent, it is not impossible to lay the foundation for becoming a god."
Xie Mo surveyed the medicinal garden that belonged to him. Tang San had once used the immortal herbs here and future opportunities to create seven gods, but now, apart from a few plants he wanted to give away, the rest belonged to him.
"Become a god?"
"Is it the legendary Angel God of the Spirit Hall? Isn't that just a legend?"
Dugu Yan heard a rather novel term and asked with some curiosity.
"Who told you the legend is false?"
Xie Mo immediately countered with a question.
Dugu Yan fell into deep thought. In her opinion, the Angel God worshipped by the Spirit Hall was nothing more than a false deity fabricated to consolidate power, which was consistent with the thoughts of the general public. However, since Xie Mo said so, it meant that it must be different from what she thought.
Dugu Yan had inexplicably begun to believe Xie Mo's words and had never doubted them.
"Wait, you said the immortal herb is the foundation for obtaining a title?"
Just as the blind student discovered the key point, Dugu Yan noticed another problem: was the thing she was eating really that valuable?
"That's right, Sister Yan, you've experienced its effects firsthand. Just the evolution of your martial soul, plus the enhancement of your soul power and talent, how could you not have confidence in becoming a Title Douluo?"
Xie Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. The immortal herbs here were among the top treasures in the Douluo Continent. What did a Title Douluo matter?
"My foolish grandfather."
Dugu Yan shook her head unexpectedly, a helpless look on her face.
"You really have to go to school, otherwise you'll really miss out if you don't recognize good things."
Dugu Bo can be considered a rogue cultivator in a sense. He started out to make his way in the world at a young age and never really went to school. All his learning came from practice and books he stole from others.
"Sister Yan, aren't you angry? Master said he was leaving this whole piece of land to me."
Xie Mo couldn't help but ask, "The allure of immortal herbs is extraordinary for Soul Masters; at least no transmigrator has ever been able to resist them."
"Why are you angry? Without you, I might die in a few years."
She gently shook her head, her fair face appearing somewhat radiant in the dim light emanating from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.
"Besides, this is for you."
