An old man and a young woman stood before the door.
Dugu Bo stood as straight as a pine, even more upright than before, wearing a gray robe and with green eyes.
Most striking was his hair, which had turned black and lustrous.
Having become a Titled Douluo and condensed the Poison Pill, Dugu Bo no longer had to worry about the repercussions of his snake venom.
Beside him stood a graceful young woman, Dugu Yan, with flowing purple hair.
At the golden hairpin age, she was a year older than Hu Liena.
Her appearance was beautiful, and her green eyes were bewitching.
Dugu Yan bowed slightly, looking up at the approaching young man.
Her expression was respectful, and her eyes held joy.
Qian Renxue and her younger brother arrived side by side, followed by Ling Yuan and Hu Liena.
Qian Renjue stopped, noticing Dugu Yan's gaze.
He released Qian Renxue's slender hand.
With a gentle smile, he walked forward, raising his hand to cover her lowered head.
He gently ruffled her hair, his voice soft.
"Yan'er, you've grown taller in the two years since I last saw you."
"Mmm~"
Dugu Yan lowered her eyes, her face flushed.
The warmth from the palm on her head made her feel warm all over.
Her complexion unconsciously turned rosy.
Qian Renxue didn't mind, as she had personally appointed her as a close attendant.
Hu Liena behind her, however, pouted.
This woman in front of her had developed even better than she had.
And she's blushing... a vixen!
She must have impure thoughts about her Senior Brother!
"Haha..."
Qian Renjue chuckled softly.
He looked at Dugu Bo, his face filled with satisfaction, and asked with a smile:
"Senior Dugu, have you made any progress in your cultivation over the past two years?"
"Thanks to Your Highness's favor, this subordinate's talent is dull. In the two years since breaking through to become a Titled Douluo, I am still some distance away from level ninety-two."
Dugu Bo replied respectfully.
His words were filled with shame and a desire to improve.
For the past two years, he had spent most of his time in the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
As Qian Renjue had instructed, he guarded the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
At the same time, he planted some rare and exotic herbs.
The rest of his time was spent cultivating, but he was still some distance from breaking through.
"Senior Dugu is too modest. To be able to become a Titled Douluo, how can you be considered dull?"
Qian Renjue shook his head.
His hand was still gently ruffling Dugu Yan's hair.
He chuckled:
"A Titled Douluo is already the pinnacle of Soul Masters."
"Breaking through naturally becomes much more difficult. I congratulate you in advance on your breakthrough."
"Thank you, Your Highness. This subordinate will do my best."
Dugu Bo bowed to thank him.
He was well aware of his own talent.
If he hadn't encountered the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to suppress the snake venom, he might have died long ago.
How could he have waited to be recruited by Qian Renjue?
Now he could be considered to have turned misfortune into fortune. The Dugu family would no longer suffer the tragedies of the past!
All of this was given by Qian Renjue.
"Alright."
Qian Renxue interrupted at the right moment, her gaze sweeping towards Dugu Xin, who was waiting beside them.
"The luncheon should be ready, right?"
"Miss Xue, it is ready."
"That's good. Jue, let's go. We can eat and chat at the same time."
Qian Renxue stepped forward and took Qian Renjue's arm.
She then looked at the two Title Douluos.
"Spear, you two come along too."
"Yes!"
The Pufferfish and Serpent Spear Douluos responded in unison.
Before Dugu Xin could lead the way, Dugu Yan quickly raised her head.
She stretched out her hands to cover the warmth on her head.
"Your Highness, Yan'nu will lead the way for you."
"Mm."
Qian Renjue nodded slightly.
By now, he no longer felt strange about this form of address.
There were many people in Wuhun City who flattered him.
He had gradually become accustomed to it.
Hearing Dugu Yan's self-designation, Hu Liena's eyes flickered slightly.
She felt somewhat smug.
Dugu Yan joyfully grabbed Qian Renjue's hand, noticing Qian Renxue's gaze...
The joy and excitement on her face subsided somewhat.
When she looked back, she finally saw Hu Liena's unfamiliar face.
Her face seemed to carry some hostility...
Dugu Yan raised her green eyes in confusion, curiously asking: "Your Highness, who is this...?"
"This is my junior sister, Hu Liena."
Before Qian Renjue could finish speaking.
Hu Liena took the initiative to step forward, as if to snatch Qian Renjue's arm from Dugu Yan's grasp...
She said with a sweet smile:
"Hello! I am Hu Liena."
"Eleven years old, Martial Soul is a Demon Fox, a forty-second level Control System Battle Soul Ancestor."
"An eleven-year-old Soul Ancestor?!"
Dugu Bo and Dugu Xin both widened their eyes.
After speaking.
Hu Liena's body quickly emitted a pink light, and the Demon Fox hovered behind her.
Four super-standard Soul Rings unfolded beneath her feet.
Three purple and one black!
"Hiss—!"
Seeing this, Dugu Xin gasped even more.
A look of surprise flashed in Dugu Yan's eyes.
She had originally thought that her talent, with the help of the Holy Son, was already unparalleled among her peers.
She didn't expect that the Holy Son's junior sister was even above her!
And she had come with ill intentions!
Thinking of this...
Dugu Yan's pretty face instantly turned cold, staring straight at Hu Liena.
She was not some delicate woman!
To Qian Renjue, she was willing to be a beautiful snake to be manipulated, played with, and admired.
To others, she was a cold, terrifying, and deadly poisonous snake!
"I am Dugu Yan, Your Highness's personal attendant."
Dugu Yan did not back down at all, her voice cold, emphasizing the word 'personal'.
One yellow and two purple Soul Rings quickly unfolded.
Her waist below turned into a snake tail, slightly touching Qian Renjue's ankle.
Her emotionless green vertical pupils stared at Hu Liena.
"Twelve years old, Martial Soul is a Jade Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, a thirty-sixth level Control System Soul Grandmaster!"
Hmm?
Hu Liena felt a slight surprise.
She didn't expect that the person in front of her was a bit difficult to deal with...
The two women grabbed Qian Renjue's sleeves, staring at each other for a few breaths.
Qian Renxue's phoenix eyes narrowed, flashing with cold light.
She didn't expect that this vixen and attendant, whom she had trained.
Were actually born with rebellious bones!
They completely disregarded her warnings.
They dared to start vying for favor in front of her, as if no one else was around.
Qian Renxue remained calm.
But she had already written it down in her little notebook.
She would find an opportunity to train them severely in the future!
Ling Yuan looked at the two young girls, speechless. Fortunately, her path was different...
Otherwise, she would have been ruined by Miss Xue.
After all, she was already familiar with the scene of A Yin being played with as her precedent.
With her size, she could also change her shape at will.
"Dugu Yan?"
Hu Liena pretended to raise her eyebrows.
She had long known that Qian Renjue had many connections with the woman in front of her.
A smile appeared on her face, and she said playfully:
"Since you are Senior Brother's attendant, shouldn't you also call me Miss Na?"
"Hmm?"
Qian Renxue was stunned.
She was almost angered by Hu Liena, what a wolfish ambition!
Still wanting to be Miss Na?!
Hu Liena didn't know why, but suddenly her spine felt cold.
Qian Renjue frowned, feeling that the atmosphere had become a bit strange...
But he didn't put down the hand he had already raised.
"Ah~!"
Hu Liena suddenly cried out in pain, covering her head, her aura completely gone.
Dugu Yan's red lips did not open.
She glanced at Qian Renjue with some surprise.
"Senior Brother...?"
Hu Liena's eyes were wet, looking at Qian Renjue with some confusion.
"Who told you to show off casually?"
Qian Renjue glared at Hu Liena unhappily.
Wishing everyone a happy life!
