After obtaining the consent of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan, led by the two of them, Lu Chen, along with Xiao Wu and Zhuqing, walked together towards the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well valley.
Along the way, Xiao Wu kept holding onto one of Lu Chen’s arms, unwilling to let go, as if she were asserting her sovereignty in this way.
Dugu Yan naturally wouldn’t admit defeat just like that; she swayed her water-snake-like waist and walked gracefully to Lu Chen’s side, a seductive, intoxicating fragrance wafting over Lu Chen and Xiao Wu’s faces like a spring breeze.
Immediately, Dugu Yan also stretched out her arms to hug Lu Chen’s other arm, causing that arm of his to instantly sink into a mass of soft, full cotton-like softness.
Dugu Yan softened her body, almost leaning her entire weight onto Lu Chen.
With a slightly provocative gaze, she looked at Xiao Wu on Lu Chen’s other side, as if silently saying: ’You featherless little girl, what do you have to fight me with?’
Dugu Yan quickly withdrew her gaze from Xiao Wu and turned her eyes gently towards Lu Chen, as if wrapping him in a pool of spring water. Her tone was soft and coquettish, filled with deep concern, seemingly able to turn even the hardest steel into soft ribbons:
"Lu Chen, in the half a year you’ve been gone, you didn’t know to come back early to see me and Grandpa. It made us worry about you all day, every day, here in the Ice and Fire Valley."
"We were worried about you encountering high-level Spirit Beasts you couldn’t handle, and worried about you being hunted by Spirit Hall or other Sect and Family experts."
"Now that I see you’ve returned safe and sound, I’m truly so happy. Let’s never be apart again, okay!"
Hearing these caring words, Lu Chen felt a warmth in his heart and comforted her with a chuckle:
"I’ve made you worry. Actually, you don’t need to be anxious for me. With my life-saving Spirit Ability, even a Titled Douluo wouldn’t be able to catch me."
"Now that I’m back, as long as you are willing, you can certainly stay by my side from now on."
Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan smiled until her eyes curved into crescents, her bewitching, enchanting face revealing an expression of doting affection:
"Yay, then I’ll definitely hold onto you and never let go from now on!"
Meanwhile, watching the interaction between Lu Chen and Dugu Yan from the side, Xiao Wu was so angry she was about to explode. This seductive, proactive, and gentle bad woman was definitely her formidable rival.
Xiao Wu gritted her teeth until they creaked. Now, Xiao Wu deeply regretted that back when she was at Nuoding Academy, she shouldn’t have stayed in the academy. When Lu Chen went out to hunt Spirit Beasts in his third year, she should have accompanied him.
No matter what Spirit Beast Lu Chen wanted to hunt, she could have had Da Ming and Er Ming come to help. As long as she had stayed by Lu Chen’s side, there definitely wouldn’t have been any opportunity for this bad woman.
It must be that this bad woman, relying on her grandfather being a Titled Douluo, took the chance to hook up with Lu Chen while he was hunting Spirit Beasts.
Although Xiao Wu was angry, she didn’t lose her temper. Losing her temper in front of Lu Chen would certainly leave a bad impression of her having a terrible temper.
To attract Lu Chen’s gaze, she could only be more seductive, more proactive, and more gentle than that bad woman opposite her.
Xiao Wu silently sized up Dugu Yan. Although her appearance wasn’t devastatingly beautiful, that seductive, enchanting temperament, the hot figure with a slim waist and long legs, and the ample bosom that only a mature woman would possess—these were all things she didn’t have!
Xiao Wu looked down at her own flatness, and a stifled anger rose in her heart again. Why was she growing so slowly? Although she didn’t have it, fortunately, her sister did.
Xiao Wu let go of Lu Chen’s arm and turned to wave at Zhuqing:
"Zhuqing, come over quickly."
Although Zhuqing didn’t fight or compete, that didn’t mean she didn’t crave more of Lu Chen’s attention. Hearing Xiao Wu’s call, Zhuqing was stunned for a moment, then she held her head high and stepped forward quickly.
When Zhuqing walked to their side, she was given a forceful push by Xiao Wu, almost pushing her into Lu Chen’s arms. Zhuqing immediately understood the implication and took the opportunity to hug one of Lu Chen’s arms. She pursed her lips slightly, feeling a bit shy, but she also knew to fully utilize her advantages, letting Lu Chen sink into that ultimate softness!
Seeing this, Xiao Wu raised her eyebrows:
’Hey! This girl isn’t stupid! Now there are two of us, and that bad woman only has one. Two against one, the advantage is mine!’
Xiao Wu glared provocatively at Dugu Yan:
"Boss Lu Chen, we grew up together, and from now on, both Zhuqing and I will always stay with you."
Facing Xiao Wu’s provocation, Dugu Yan ignored her, her gaze locked tightly onto Zhuqing. She felt secretly puzzled in her heart:
’How on earth did she grow like that? Although she is also a featherless little girl, why is her development so off the charts!’
’Beneath that youthful face, there is such a pair of lethal weapons. Could it be that Lu Chen likes this kind of contrast? What a formidable rival. It seems I need to be extra vigilant from now on...’
At this moment, Lu Chen certainly discovered that Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing were fighting for favor and competing against each other because of him. But he remained silent throughout, because as a beneficiary, he had absolutely no reason to step out and stop Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing. He was enjoying all their tenderness! How could he possibly step out to stop all of this!
As for Dugu Bo walking in front, hearing his granddaughter Dugu Yan competing with the other two girls for Lu Chen’s affection, his face darkened; he couldn’t bear to watch!
However, the abundant energy fluctuations emitted by the two Spirit Bones in his arms left him with no confidence to reprimand Lu Chen. He could only circulate his spirit power, his figure soaring forward like a giant roc spreading its wings, and in the blink of an eye, he disappeared from sight.
Seeing this situation, Lu Chen finally spoke up:
"Yan Yan, Xiao Wu, Zhuqing, Brother Dugu has already gone far ahead; let’s hurry and catch up."
As his voice fell, Lu Chen took Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing, and sped up as they rushed towards the valley where the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was located.
About a quarter of an hour later, the four of them finally entered the valley, where the abundant ice and fire energy surged in from all directions.
Lu Chen and Dugu Yan were calm, but Xiao Wu and Zhuqing’s pretty faces changed slightly. The scorching fire-attribute energy and the freezing ice-attribute energy alternately poured into their bodies, making them feel exceptionally uncomfortable.
Xiao Wu looked at Lu Chen with some unease:
"Boss Lu Chen, what’s going on in this valley?"
Lu Chen explained upon hearing this:
"In this valley, there is an Ice and Fire Spring. The Ice and Fire Spring continuously releases fire-attribute energy and ice-attribute energy, nourishing numerous Immortal Herbs in its vicinity."
"This ice and fire energy is beneficial for the herbs, but for the human body, it is a bit too violent. However, since you have both refined two Spirit Bones, this ice and fire energy does not pose a fatal threat to you."
"Don’t worry, follow me inside. In a while, I will take you to choose some Immortal Herbs. After consuming the Immortal Herbs, your strength will be able to advance further."
With Lu Chen’s comfort, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing calmed down and were no longer overly worried. They entered the valley together and met up with Dugu Bo, who had arrived in the valley a step ahead of them.
Lu Chen’s gaze swept over Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan:
"Brother Dugu, Yan Yan, leave the next matters to me. You go and refine your Spirit Bones first."
"Brother Dugu, once you absorb the two 20,000-year Spirit Bones, it will certainly allow your strength to advance further. Breaking through from level 95 spirit power to level 96 spirit power is not impossible."
"Yan Yan, once you absorb your three Spirit Bones, both your mental force and spirit power will have a huge improvement."
"If you haven’t become a Spirit Emperor yet, these Spirit Bones will allow you to immediately break through to level 60 spirit power. If you have already become a Spirit Emperor, these Spirit Bones will also allow your spirit power to reach above level 63."
Hearing Lu Chen say this, Dugu Yan’s eyes flashed. She glanced at Xiao Wu and Zhuqing, and said with a bit of smug, tsundere pride:
"You’ve been gone for half a year, but I haven’t been idle. Through my diligent Cultivation, my spirit power has long reached level 60."
"With Grandpa’s help, I hunted a 35,000-year-old Poison Dragon and absorbed its spirit ring as my sixth spirit ring, which brought me a powerful attack Spirit Ability, the Jade Phosphorus Destruction Beam."
"Now, my spirit power has already reached level 62!"
Hearing this, Xiao Wu and Zhuqing felt immense pressure. This seductive, proactive, and gentle bad woman was actually a Spirit Emperor with level 62 spirit power. They had fallen too far behind; now they had to strive to catch up.
Lu Chen said in admiration:
"Yan Yan, I underestimated you. With your level 62 spirit power, and after absorbing the Mental Stabilization Skull, the Mirror Reflection Right Arm Bone, and the external Spirit Bone Eight Spider Lances, it will definitely bring you a huge improvement!"
Upon hearing this, a look of longing appeared on Dugu Yan’s face, and her gaze towards Lu Chen became increasingly gentle, as if it could drip water. After all, the Spirit Bones Lu Chen gave her were all the best of the best—two 50,000-year Spirit Bones, plus one external Spirit Bone. The preciousness of these Spirit Bones was enough to drive a Titled Douluo crazy.
Under Lu Chen’s persuasion, Dugu Bo took two Spirit Bones, and Dugu Yan took three Spirit Bones, each returning to their residence in the valley to start absorbing the Spirit Bones. Remaining on the spot were only Lu Chen, Xiao Wu, and Zhuqing...
