The roots of the Dragon Soul Immortal Algae were gathered by dense green leaves resembling dragon scales, like a jade plate resting on the ground like green algae. In the center was a slender golden stem, from which nine green leaves drooped like green flowers. The flower's heart was shrouded in golden mist, with small dragons swirling within. The entire immortal herb emitted a faint golden glow.
"That's wonderful, thank you, Xiao Qiu!"
Dugu Yan's beautiful face was filled with joy as she carefully accepted the immortal herb, as if holding the most precious treasure in the world. She gently kissed Ye Qiu's warm, red lips.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly.
"Sister Yan Yan, there's no need for that. This was originally an immortal herb from your Dugu family."
Dugu Yan's delicate body nestled tightly against Ye Qiu's strong shoulder, her smile blooming like a flower.
"What do you mean 'our family'? Now even I'm yours, so what's mine is yours."
Dugu Yan was immersed in joy and sweetness, completely ignoring the darkening face of Dugu Bo beside her.
"Hmph! Why do these immortal herbs always grow so strangely?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly, looking at the immortal herb.
He guarded this treasure land full of immortal herbs, yet he didn't know their effects or uses, which truly annoyed him.
Dugu Bo just raised his hand,
wanting to poke the mist in the flower's heart, but the mist seemed to have a spirit, suddenly drifting away from him.
"Grandpa, don't ruin this immortal herb."
Dugu Yan held the immortal herb tightly in both hands, her face full of affection. She slightly raised her eyes and gave Dugu Bo a reproachful look.
"Yan Yan, Grandpa hasn't even touched it yet."
Dugu Bo felt his heart aching seeing his granddaughter so anxious about the immortal herb.
Turning his head to look at the nine-sectioned jade on his shoulder, who was also staring longingly at the immortal herb, he became even angrier.
I haven't even touched it yet, what are you looking at? It's infuriating.
Dugu Bo slapped the nine-sectioned jade a few times in a bad mood. The jade shrieked continuously from the slaps, its voice filled with grievance and protest.
"If I hit it a couple more times, this nine-section jade might devour its owner.
" "Haha, just to be safe!"
Dugu Yan smiled sheepishly at her grandfather, a hint of playfulness in her smile. Then, she turned to Ye Qiu, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Husband, how should I consume this immortal herb?"
"Just gently absorb the mist into your body, then slowly circulate your soul power, allowing the medicinal effects to flow through your limbs and bones,"
Ye Qiu replied with a light laugh, his voice filled with expectation.
"Sister Yan, hurry up and take it!"
"Yes!"
Dugu Yan nodded emphatically.
She ran to the side with light steps, found a quiet place, and sat down cross-legged. Following Ye Qiu's instructions, she slowly inhaled the golden mist.
As the mist entered Dugu Yan's body,
the Dragon Soul Immortal Algae seemed to instantly lose all its essence.
It withered and decayed rapidly, almost imperceptibly, finally turning into dust and dissipating.
Dugu Yan immediately closed her eyes to cultivate, her expression focused and serene.
*Hiss—!
* The Azure Phosphorous Serpent Martial Soul appeared behind her.
They were both bathed in a misty golden fog.
"Kid, will anything go wrong?"
Dugu Bo composed himself, looking at his granddaughter with some worry.
Dugu Yan was the closest person to him in this world.
Ye Qiu smiled and reassured him, "Senior Dugu, don't worry. Sister Yan has an external soul bone now, so there's no need to worry about her cultivation level skyrocketing and causing a poison rampage." As soon
as he finished speaking,
Ye Qiu pulled out a small potato from somewhere, placed it on the table, and gently pushed it towards Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, I've also prepared a celestial herb for you. This is the Earth Dragon Golden Melon, which also possesses dragon-like qualities..."
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Dugu Bo's strange laughter.
"Heh heh, you little rascal, you do have some conscience after all."
Before Ye Qiu could finish speaking, Dugu Bo disdainfully tossed the little potato back at him.
"Huh?"
Ye Qiu looked at him, his eyes full of confusion.
He didn't understand why Dugu Bo would refuse this immortal herb, when the Earth Dragon Golden Melon was clearly very beneficial to him.
Dugu Bo looked up at the sky, his voice filled with sighs and helplessness. "I'm old. From now on, I'll have to rely on you young people."
"Senior," Ye Qiu tilted his head, chuckling awkwardly, "Can't you speak like a human being?"
"..."
Dugu Bo's face darkened.
The Nine-Section Jade on his shoulder, having nowhere to vent its anger, seemed to have found an outlet and was about to leap onto Ye Qiu.
*Slap!*
Ye Qiu quickly activated his Martial Soul, slapping it away.
His Thousand Devouring Fangs already contained the Nine-Section Jade's toxins; if pushed too far, he would bite back.
An eye for an eye.
——————
After Dugu Yan finished absorbing the Dragon Soul Immortal Algae,
her cultivation level, originally level 42, increased to level 45.
Furthermore, her martial soul had evolved.
Building upon her status as the Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor, she not only took a step towards dragon transformation but also perfectly resolved the problem of poison backlash.
The quality of her martial soul was no less than, and no less than, that of Dugu Bo's. Her
external soul bone, the Azure Blood Serpent Scales, also perfectly integrated with her, making it impossible for anyone to steal it.
Ye Qiu originally intended to give the Earth Dragon Golden Melon to Dugu Bo,
but Dugu Bo refused.
In his words, he was already old and needed to look to the future.
The Dugu family was dwindling; rather than letting him prolong his life for a few more years, it was better to leave it to his future great-grandchildren. Otherwise, if their awakened martial soul was still an Azure Phosphorous Serpent or an ordinary Azure Phosphorous Serpent Emperor like his own, then there would be no cure.
He had suffered for so many years; he didn't want his descendants to experience the same torment.
He was already satisfied with the relief he had received.
Dugu Yan tried to persuade him for a long time without success.
Ye Qiu didn't press the matter further; he would find a way to resolve Dugu Bo's poison sooner or later.
With Dugu Bo's current physique, holding on until then
would be no problem at all.
——————————
Time slowly passed.
The setting sun was like blood.
Dugu Bo was once again driven out by Ye Qiu and the others, like a homeless and lonely old man, wandering outside. However, Dugu Bo himself was happy with this.
Because he wanted to hold his great-grandson.
Inside the room, in the bathroom, Ye Qiu was tightly coiled by a beautiful emerald green snake.
The tail was tightly wrapped around Ye Qiu's waist, Dugu Yan hugged Ye Qiu's neck, their foreheads touching, the dark green scales between their brows giving Ye Qiu a cool feeling.
"Husband~"
The beautiful snake flicked its tongue, constantly touching Ye Qiu's cheek, her face flushed.
Ye Qiu's hand was constantly moving over the fine scales, cool and slightly slippery.
"Uh,"
Dugu Yan groaned.
Between the tightening and loosening of the snake's tail wrapped around its prey, some heat was drawn into the scales, the long snake tail constantly wriggling, the cool snake tail becoming warm.
Wishing you all a pleasant life!
