Chapter 163 Leaving Sunset Forest, Ye Lingling's Helplessness
Listening to Dugu Bo's solemn words, Sun Yu took a deep breath and then, with a serious expression, said, "Junior Sun Yu thanks Your Excellency for your support..."
Dugu Bo's expression was quite complex as he watched this scene.
Because once he uttered those words, it meant he had to abandon Prince Xue Xing's faction.
And instead, pledge allegiance to the Crown Prince's faction.
After all, Sun Yu was the Crown Prince's man.
One's position dictates one's thoughts.
As long as Sun Yu remained the Crown Prince's man, and as long as Dugu Bo did not break his promise, then Dugu Bo was destined to remain within the Crown Prince's faction.
Moreover, Dugu Bo knew that once this matter spread, it would cause a huge uproar throughout Heaven Dou City.
However, even so, compared to the deadly poison that constantly threatened him and his granddaughter, enduring some accusations of betrayal now was all worth it.
Besides, with his current strength, Dugu Bo would not fear even facing that old dragon from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.
Therefore, if the rumors truly spread too widely and affected his and Dugu Yan's lives.
Then Dugu Bo wouldn't mind killing a few people to display the wrath of a Titled Douluo, thereby quelling public opinion.
"You... are you really my grandpa?!"
Just as Dugu Bo's thoughts were soaring, he heard his granddaughter's question, filled with nervousness and worry.
Looking at the nervous expression on his granddaughter's face.
Dugu Bo instantly felt his heart almost melt.
He reached out his large hand and gently stroked Dugu Yan's head, chuckling, "Silly girl, if it's not me, then who could it be?! I only returned to my prime because my Spirit evolved..."
Because he had been tormented by poison for many years, Dugu Bo's apparent age was much older than his actual age.
Now, due to the Spirit's evolution, this torment had also disappeared.
Coupled with the energy of the Immortal Herb nourishing Dugu Bo's originally parched body, his physical condition and appearance naturally reverted to their current state...
"But Grandpa, your change is too drastic..."
Dugu Yan felt the warm head pat.
She spoke with a puzzled expression.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's wrinkles had all vanished.
Even his original dark green hair had turned into long, black hair with hints of dark green.
Overall, he looked like a robust middle-aged man.
He was a world apart from the sinister-looking old man he was before.
"A big change is natural. Normally, once a person breaks through to Douluo, their lifespan can increase by a hundred years, and their appearance will change towards their younger self. Therefore, my current appearance is normal. Look at Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; don't they also look very young?"
Listening to Dugu Bo's powerful voice, Dugu Yan nodded slightly, still in a daze.
Afterward, she grabbed her grandfather's arm with a joyful and excited expression, refusing to let go.
Feeling his granddaughter's warmth and dependence, Dugu Bo smiled slightly.
Then he turned to Sun Yu and asked, "Little San, since I've already absorbed the Earth Dragon Gold Gourd and my Spirit has evolved, I should be able to continue absorbing the second Immortal Herb, right?
I'm already eager to see Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan's shocked expression when he sees me consume his Spirit..."
At this moment, the affection Dugu Bo had for Dugu Yan had vanished from his eyes, replaced entirely by a fervent desire to consume Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan's Spirit.
However, upon hearing this, Sun Yu shook his head slightly and said, "No, not yet, Your Excellency Dugu. Although you've evolved your Spirit, there should still be some medicinal power in your body that hasn't been fully absorbed. The same goes for Yanyan Jie. Therefore, I suggest we wait for a period of time until the medicinal power in your bodies is completely assimilated before absorbing new Immortal Herbs. That would be most suitable..."
Listening to Sun Yu's words, Dugu Bo nodded slightly.
"Then how long do we have to wait?!"
"Based on Your Excellency Dugu's strength as a Titled Douluo, a year should be enough. As for Yanyan Jie, it might take two years, as Yanyan Jie's strength isn't as profound as Your Excellency Dugu's!"
Upon hearing this, Dugu Bo sighed, secretly regretting it.
Still have to wait another year...
Hmph, Chrysanthemum Pass, I'll let you be comfortable for one more year. In a year, I'll definitely come to seek revenge and disgust you properly...
"Alright, you understand the characteristics of Immortal Herbs better than I do, so I'll listen to you. In that case, let's leave. Although this valley is quiet, it's not suitable for you two young people to stay long. Let's go, I'll take you back..."
"Grandpa, don't forget to help me get my fourth spirit ring!!"
"Okay, I didn't forget. We'll get your spirit ring and then go back!!"
"....."
Time flew by, and another day passed in the blink of an eye.
In the early morning, at the entrance to Sunset Forest.
Three figures, one large and two small, slowly emerged from the entrance of Sunset Forest.
And these three were Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Sun Yu.
After helping Dugu Yan obtain her spirit ring, they immediately left Sunset Forest without stopping.
And when they reached the path not far from the city's main road, Dugu Yan smiled and said to Sun Yu, "Let's go, Little San, to my house. Let my grandpa and I treat you well..."
"That's right, Little San, you haven't been to my house yet, so let's go take a look on the way. Don't go to the academy today, get a good day's rest, and you two can go to the academy for classes tomorrow morning!"
Sun Yu looked at the grandfather and granddaughter, who were sincerely inviting him.
After nodding slightly, he followed the two to the Dugu Mansion.
Sun Yu went to the Dugu Mansion and was treated to a delicious meal.
At the same time, Dugu Yan personally led Sun Yu on a tour of every corner of the Dugu Mansion.
Of course, the reward was that Dugu Yan would occasionally take liberties with Sun Yu in secluded corners where no one was around.
And Sun Yu had no choice but to endure Dugu Yan's teasing.
There was nothing he could do. He couldn't really grope back, could he? Groping was easy, but if he got aroused, it wouldn't be so easy to relieve it...
Afterward, Sun Yu stayed at the Dugu Mansion for a day, and the next morning.
Only then did he go to Tian Dou Royal Academy with Dugu Yan.
"Hey, Yanyan Jie, this isn't the way to Tian Dou Royal Academy, is it...? You've taken a detour?!"
Sun Yu looked at the scene on the street and asked in confusion.
"Yes, it's a detour. I need to pick up Lingling first. Lingling is a support system without self-protection, so whenever I have time, I'll come to pick Lingling up to go to the academy or go home..."
"Ah, that's so troublesome. I remember the Ye family is quite well-known in Heaven Dou City, aren't they?! Many people owe the Ye family favors. Could it be that Lingling is still in danger here?"
