Chapter 25 Heading to the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire
"Senior Dugu, Sister Yanyan is exceptionally beautiful, and I truly admire her. I also cannot bear to see her suffer from this deadly poison. However, just two years ago, my grandfather arranged a marriage for me with her." Yu Tianyun said weakly, his face full of helplessness and distress.
"Engaged? Then break it off. Does she think she's more noble than my granddaughter?" Dugu Bo frowned, his face full of displeasure.
"But the other party is the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School." Yu Tianyun kept his head down, his voice growing softer and softer.
He decided it was best to be honest now; this kind of thing couldn't be hidden forever. Besides, Ning Rongrong and Xiaoyue were different. Ning Rongrong was, after all, the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, and a formal title was necessary. Xiaoyue and the others, on the other hand, didn't care about titles; they were content as long as they could stay by Yu Tianyun's side. However, Dugu Yan's identity was equally extraordinary, with a Title Douluo behind her. To avoid leaving any future misunderstandings, it was best to be honest now.
Dugu Bo was speechless. He was no match for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. His gaze toward Yu Tianyun turned hostile, and he clenched his right fist, causing the surrounding air to ripple.
Dugu Yan remained silent. She had been overjoyed to hear that Yu Tianyun had come specifically to cure her poison, but now that she learned that Yu Tianyun already had a fiancée, she felt a pang of bitterness. She bit her lower lip lightly, her eyes dimmed, and her delicate body appeared somewhat frail in the wind.
After a moment, Dugu Yan raised her head and said with a sour tone, "Tianyun is exceptionally talented, so naturally he should find someone of equal social standing. Only a powerful and wealthy family like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is worthy of him. Unlike my grandfather and me, who have nothing."
Hearing these words brimming with jealousy, Yu Tianyun was extremely embarrassed, but he still feigned helplessness and said with a wry smile, "Sister Yan Yan, I really have no choice. This is Grandpa's decision. Grandpa has spent a great deal of the sect's resources to cultivate me, so I really have no reason to refuse him!"
"Grandpa, I'm only doing this to provide the sect with a powerful weapon, so I have no choice but to let you play the villain!" Yu Tianyun shifted all the blame onto Yu Yuanzhen.
"Tianyun, I understand. You come from a prominent family and have no say in your marriage. Perhaps this is what they mean by being destined to meet but not to be together!" Dugu Yan suppressed the bitterness in her heart, turned her head slightly, and her hair danced in the wind.
"Sister Yan Yan, I am content that you understand me. I will definitely help you completely remove the poison from your body." Yu Tianyun looked at Dugu Yan with a firm expression and sincere eyes, his clothes fluttering in the wind.
"Sigh!" Dugu Bo sighed deeply. He had originally thought he had found a perfect grandson-in-law who was mutually attracted to his granddaughter and whose talent, background, and strength were all impeccable. He would have been delighted, but unfortunately, someone else had beaten him to it. If he had known this would happen, he should have proposed to Yu Yuanzhen when they first met. He shook his head helplessly, his face filled with disappointment, and even slowed his flight slightly.
Dugu Bo said in a heavy voice, "Yu Tianyun, you have done me and my granddaughter a favor. If you can completely cure the poison in our bodies, I, Dugu Bo, will owe you a huge debt of gratitude. I can promise to do three things for you, anything as long as it doesn't violate morality. But if you still dare to have designs on my granddaughter, I will definitely go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect to demand an explanation!" As he spoke, his soul power shone brightly, and his gaze became sharp.
Yu Tianyun sighed softly, his expression seemingly extremely dejected, and then said in a somewhat forlorn voice, "Senior Dugu, rest assured, as long as Sister Yanyan recovers, I will never bother you again." After saying that, he lowered his head dejectedly.
Dugu Bo finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was truly worried that Yu Tianyun would pester him relentlessly, taking advantage of his kindness, and trick his precious granddaughter away. Even if he, Dugu Bo, were poisoned to death, died outside, or jumped off the sky, he would never allow his precious granddaughter to share a husband with another man!
Unbeknownst to him, on the other side, Dugu Yan bit her red lips, her eyes reddening. Looking at the desolation and loneliness between Yu Tianyun's brows, she felt a pang of pain in her heart. Her hands unconsciously went to her chest, revealing her feminine sensuality, and her body trembled slightly in the wind.
Dugu Bo continued flying with Yu Tianyun and Dugu Yan. The atmosphere grew increasingly heavy and oppressive. However, he was surprised to find that Dugu Yan's gaze kept drifting towards Yu Tianyun. Dugu Bo inwardly sneered; he would never allow his granddaughter to fall for a married man!
In Dugu Bo's eyes, Yu Tianyun was like a blond-haired man riding a ghost fire, trying to woo his beloved granddaughter whom he had carefully nurtured for over a decade. Although this blond-haired man was handsome, highly talented, kind-hearted, and had a powerful background, he seemed to be so outstanding that it was impossible to dislike him. Thinking of this, Dugu Bo couldn't help but feel a little helpless. Yu Tianyun was just too perfect, and it was hard to find a reason for anyone to refuse him.
A moment later, seeing that Sunset Forest was almost within reach, Dugu Bo said in a deep voice, "Yu Tianyun, you must remember what I'm about to say. My herb garden contains extremely violent ice and fire energy, making the spiritual energy of heaven and earth extremely terrifying. If humans or animals live in it, they will soon be blown apart and die. My cultivation is high, so I can withstand it, but you cannot. That's why I haven't brought Yanyan here. Once you go in, if you feel unwell, come out immediately. Don't try to tough it out, or no one can save you. Also, next to the spring in the center of the valley, there are many flowers and plants that I don't even recognize. They may contain deadly poisons that I dare not touch. Once you go in, it's best not to touch anything, or you will be in mortal danger."
Yu Tianyun nodded. He had already learned about immortal herbs, so those flowers and plants were not a danger to him, but a treasure trove. This was one of the greatest opportunities on this planet.
At this moment, after a moment's thought, he confidently said, "Senior, rest assured. Tianyun once learned how to identify medicinal herbs from Clan Chief Yang of the Po Clan. Even legendary celestial herbs can be recognized by me. Based on your description, I suspected that your herb garden might be growing celestial herbs, which is why I am confident in removing the toxins from your body."
"What is the Immortal Herb?" Dugu Bo looked at Yu Tianyun with a puzzled expression.
"There are many kinds of immortal herbs, each with different effects. If you find one that suits you, it can greatly improve your physical attributes and even evolve your martial spirit. Some immortal herbs can even bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. Of course, the legends may be slightly exaggerated, but they all illustrate the extraordinary power of immortal herbs. Of course, immortal herbs cannot be used indiscriminately. They must be picked and consumed in the correct way, and they must be compatible with your own attributes. If your attributes are not suitable, consuming immortal herbs will not only fail to improve you, but may even be as bad as taking poison!" Yu Tianyun pondered briefly before giving a simple description of the powerful effects of immortal herbs.
Anyway, he wasn't going to be as greedy as Tang San, taking every last penny. Sharing the knowledge about the immortal herbs with Dugu Bo might win him over and make him stop opposing him and Dugu Yan.
"The effects of this immortal herb are terrifyingly powerful! No wonder I sensed immense energy within those flowers and herbs!" Upon learning of the immense value of the herbs in his herb garden, Dugu Bo gasped, his eyes filled with shock and delight. At the same time, he felt a lingering fear. He had once consumed an extremely potent herb, but its properties seemed off, leaving him nearly dead. Since then, he had never dared to touch unfamiliar herbs. Now, recalling it, he realized that the powerful herb he had consumed before must have been the immortal herb Yu Tianyun had spoken of.
At this moment, Dugu Bo's gaze towards Yu Tianyun became kinder. Yu Tianyun had actually told him such important information instead of keeping it to himself, which clearly showed that he was not after Dugu Bo's benefits. He then turned to look at Dugu Yan, who was looking at Yu Tianyun with flirtatious eyes. Suddenly, he felt that it wasn't so hard to accept that Yu Tianyun had a fiancée. After all, it's normal for men to have multiple wives and concubines.
Unbeknownst to him, Dugu Bo, just as Yu Tianyun had predicted, began his own self-conquest.
As the three ventured deeper, a thick fog appeared before them. Suddenly, Dugu Bo stopped, raised his hand, and tossed out two pills, which landed in the hands of Yu Tianyun and Dugu Yan respectively.
"The poison array I set up ahead will surely kill any Soul Master below level 70 who dares to enter. You two should keep these pills in your mouths and not swallow them to avoid being affected by the poison array."
The two nodded in agreement, put the pills in their mouths, and followed Dugu Bo into the poison array. At this moment, Yu Tianyun was extremely excited; he was about to see the renowned Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye!
