Chapter 161: Breaking Through to Titled Douluo, Who Is It?
The next day.
Hu Liena, along with Yan and Xie Yue, were taken by the beaming Chrysanthemum Douluo to hunt souls.
Qian Renxue had the Soft Bone Rabbit perched on her shoulder.
She sat cross-legged on the bed, cultivating, while the 'mature' Blue Silver Emperor was preparing medicine for her.
Concocting the nutrient solution she needed.
……
At the foot of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's mountain gate.
Two young girls walked side by side, descending the steps made of granite.
Strands of purple and blue hair intertwined.
Green dresses enveloped their budding figures, and pale green eyes
fell upon the delicate face beneath the veil beside her.
Her voice was like the sweet song of an oriole leaving the valley.
“Lingling, would you like me to accompany you to Heaven Dou City first?”
Facing Dugu Yan's inquiry.
Ye Lingling slightly raised her clear blue eyes and gently shook her head.
The veil fluttered lightly, revealing a bit of fair skin.
“Yanzi, someone from my family is coming to pick me up, no need for such trouble.”
“Alright then.”
Dugu Yan didn't say much.
After Qian Renxue left, she became Ye Lingling's deskmate.
After spending a month or so together, she had come to understand Ye Lingling's personality.
Difficult to deal with!
But as a slave, she naturally had to diligently complete the task assigned by her master.
Thinking of Qian Renxue.
Dugu Yan's green eyes carried a hint of longing for their next meeting.
Ye Lingling's beautiful eyes, as if speaking,
seemed to scrutinize Dugu Yan, a hint of curiosity beneath her loneliness.
She could be sure.
Dugu Yan was indeed approaching her, but without any malice.
Protecting her everywhere, proactive and sincere.
“Lingling, why are you looking at me like that?”
Dugu Yan snapped back to reality.
Without any pretense, she reached out and grabbed Ye Lingling's soft, delicate hand.
Ye Lingling calmly retracted her gaze.
She said faintly, “Didn't the Third Prince say he wanted to challenge you?”
Dugu Yan raised her head haughtily and let out a soft humph.
“Hmph! Just a little brat, daring to challenge me with only one soul ring.”
“Trying to get close.”
“He just wants to know the secret of my purple soul ring.”
Ye Lingling nodded slightly.
Even she couldn't hide her surprise when she first saw Dugu Yan's soul ring configuration.
“I'm afraid he won't let it go easily.”
“There's nothing to be afraid of, my Dugu family isn't easy to provoke.”
Dugu Yan chuckled, full of confidence.
Even if they could provoke the Dugu family, they couldn't afford to provoke His Highness.
“Yanzi, we're here.”
Ye Lingling stopped and gently pulled her jade-like hand from Dugu Yan's grasp.
They had reached the foot of the mountain.
Dugu Yan looked into the distance, at the green-haired person personally driving the carriage.
Her eyes filled with joy.
She turned her head to ask Ye Lingling, “Lingling, where are the people from your family?”
“Over there…”
Ye Lingling didn't move, but her eyes flickered, looking at the carriage emblazoned with the Nine Heart Sea棠.
Dugu Yan felt relieved and waved goodbye to Ye Lingling.
“Then, Lingling, see you tomorrow.”
“Mm.”
Ye Lingling nodded and parted ways with Dugu Yan, walking in different directions.
“Dad, why did you come in person?!”
Dugu Yan quickly rushed towards the Dugu family's carriage.
Ye Lingling, hearing that voice.
paused slightly, and strolled to the side of the carriage, stepping onto the vehicle.
Dugu Yan nimbly jumped onto the carriage.
“Yan'yan, be careful.”
“Dad, you haven't answered my question yet.”
“Haha…”
Dugu Xin, who looked no different from an ordinary person, was somewhat excited.
“Dad is here to take you to the medicine field.”
“Medicine field?”
Dugu Yan was stunned.
Then she made a guess and said excitedly, “Could it be that His Highness has returned?”
“Haha… something like that.”
Dugu Xin chuckled, tugged on the reins, and drove the carriage.
“Dad, what do you mean, something like that? If you keep this up, Yan'yan will tell Grandpa to discipline you!”
Dugu Yan grabbed Dugu Xin's arm, somewhat anxiously.
Dugu Xin shook his head helplessly and explained, “It's a letter from His Highness, and gifts.”
“A letter from His Highness, and gifts?”
Dugu Yan calmed down slightly, feeling a little disappointed.
“Yan'yan, what's with that expression?”
Dugu Xin looked excited and couldn't help sharing:
“Your grandfather has broken through to Titled Douluo after taking the pills sent by His Highness!”
“What?!”
Dugu Yan exclaimed.
“Grandpa, Grandpa has broken through to Titled Douluo? That's great!”
“Yes! His Highness's gifts… we all have a share.”
“Dad, please drive faster…”
“Okay! Yan'yan, go inside and sit tight, Dad will hurry.”
Dugu Xin was overjoyed at this time.
He also wanted to return to the valley in Sunset Forest as soon as possible.
“……”
Dugu Yan eagerly wanted to see Dugu Bo.
She wanted to know what was in Qian Renxue's letter.
Whether there was anything he wanted to say to her.
What exactly was that gift!
……
Ye Lingling sat upright in the carriage.
Looking through the gap in the window.
Watching the Dugu family's carriage drive away from Heaven Dou City.
Her eyes were filled with some contemplation.
Her mind was filled with bright purple eyes, golden hair, and a tall figure.
She didn't know why.
Ye Lingling always associated Dugu Yan with the young man she had seen that day.
The time interval between the two was too short.
Too coincidental.
But the eccentricity of Dugu Bo, the head of the Dugu family, was also well-known.
Which family's young master was that young man?
That jade pendant on his waist…
“Miss, we are setting off now, I have already sent someone to inform the mistress.”
A servant's voice came from outside the carriage.
“Mm.”
Ye Lingling regained her senses.
The carriage slowly moved, heading towards Heaven Dou City.
Ye Lingling didn't go home every day.
But at the foot of the mountain, there was a carriage belonging to the Ye family waiting every day.
Today.
It was just to cater to Dugu Yan that she went down the mountain.
Perhaps Ye Lingling had really been isolated for too long, and didn't resist Dugu Yan's approach.
Or, it was because she subconsciously felt.
That Dugu Yan was related to the young man with the blood jade, which was why she didn't resist her.
—
Nine Heart Sea棠, Ye Family.
Passing through the bustling city, the carriage slowly stopped in front of the Ye residence.
At the door.
A beautiful woman had been waiting expectantly for a long time.
Wearing a goose-yellow dress, her face without makeup had no wrinkles.
Her appearance was somewhat similar to Ye Lingling.
Her wine-red hair was tied up, her steps were light, and she was very dignified.
Looking at the aloof Ye Lingling.
Ye Qinshui's face always had a gentle and loving smile.
She quickly went up to her daughter and took her arm affectionately, saying softly:
“Lingling, why did you suddenly come back today? Are you still angry with Mom?”
“I'm not angry.”
Ye Lingling shook her head slightly, obediently following her into the mansion.
“Not angry anymore?”
Ye Qinshui's face showed some doubt and curiosity.
“Did he send someone to inform you?”
“Who?”
Ye Lingling immediately stopped, raising her eyes to look at Ye Qinshui's eyes.
“Didn't he? That's quite a coincidence…”
Ye Qinshui smiled, wanting to lift Ye Lingling's veil.
But Ye Lingling dodged it.
Wishing you all a happy life!
