Chương 129: Chapter 127 Dugu Yan Seems Quite Good_1
"Who the hell did this?" Dugu Bo roared in anger, his heart bleeding as he saw all his hard work swept away.
These were all precious and rare treasures. Although he couldn't name many of the herbs, he understood their value.
Moreover, most crucially, he had been planning to use these herbs to experiment and find a way to detoxify himself and Yan Yan.
Dugu Bo's rage was immeasurable.
After all, he was the Poison Douluo, and even the royal household of the Tiandou Empire had to show him some respect. Yet today, he had suffered such an incident. His cherished herb garden had been plundered by someone else; how could he not be furious?
Dugu Yan blinked her eyes as she looked at the plundered herb garden, appearing somewhat stupefied. Yet beyond her anger, she was more curious. She knew the peculiarities of this place; many of the herbs here were something even her grandfather wouldn't dare to touch casually. How had the person who robbed this place managed to do it?
Dugu Yan looked around and soon she saw a scene that absolutely horrified her.
That Strange Pond was a place even her grandfather was extremely wary of.
But now, a very young man was sitting cross-legged in the middle of the pond, with the terrifying energies of Ice and Fire swirling around him, being absorbed into his body at an alarmingly fast rate.
This sight sent Dugu Yan's thoughts into disarray.
She was aware of just how terrifying the pond was. The red water was extremely hot, while the white water was extremely cold.
If she even got a bit closer to such a place, her body wouldn't be able to bear it. Yet this young man dared to sit there, absorbing the heaven earth origin energy. It was too horrifying.
Was this the one who had robbed her grandfather's herb garden?
Dugu Yan fixed her gaze on Xu Ran with unwavering curiosity in her eyes, so much so that she momentarily forgot that this man had stolen so many of her grandfather's herbs.
However, soon, as the power of the Icefire Polarized Eyes was absorbed by Xu Ran and the mist cleared, Xu Ran's perfect body was revealed to Dugu Yan's view.
Seeing Xu Ran's handsome and statuesque body, Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed with redness, not just her cheeks but her neck as well.
Under the terrifying influence of the Icefire Polarized Eyes, Xu Ran's strength protected his body from harm, but his clothes had all been shattered in the process.
Of course, whether Xu Ran had intentionally shattered his clothes was unknown.
"Scoundrel," Dugu Yan blushed and stamped her foot, turning away, not wanting to look at Xu Ran. But in that very moment of turning,
Although Dugu Yan was all grown up, she ended up seeing everything. This made her feel both annoyed and a bit scared.
Dugu Yan was beside herself with panic and her heart raced uncontrollably. She was twisting her hands tightly in an attempt to calm her flustered mind, but the images she had just seen were etched into her brain, refusing to fade away.
At the moment, Xu Ran continued to absorb the energy from the Icefire Polarized Eyes, but his spiritual power was keenly aware of the outside world. He was clearly aware of the arrival of Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan.
"Dugu Yan is indeed not bad at all, even better looking than I imagined," Xu Ran praised.
He had originally thought that Ye Lingling of the Sky Dou Royal Academy was the most beautiful, as per the original story, Ye Lingling was described as the quietly stunning type of beauty. The description of Dugu Yan's appearance in the original story wasn't particularly detailed, so Xu Ran had been mistaken.
At this moment, Dugu Yan wore fitting clothes that outlined her slender and delicate figure. The tight pants were seemingly loose, offering only a faint glimpse of the girl's long and perfect legs. However, even so, her full and rounded buttocks that faced away from Xu Ran were still highlighted. The perfect, ample curve was like that of a freshly-ripened apple, causing Xu Ran to take a few extra glances involuntarily.
At this time, Dugu Yan didn't dare to look at Xu Ran again and faced away from him, but she still stirred something within him.
"Tang San really doesn't know how to appreciate it. He can let go of such top-notch girls. Good heavens, he doesn't even glance at them," Xu Ran couldn't help thinking to himself.
In the original work, the old Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, had even considered betrothing Dugu Yan to Tang San as a wife, but Tang San had refused.
But Xu Ran was different from Tang San; when he met someone suitable, he naturally wanted to add her to his "Harem."
In Soul Land, where the strong are revered and the inheritance of Martial Souls is entirely dependent on bloodline, it is very common to have multiple wives and concubines.
Forget about having three wives and four concubines, even thirty wives and forty concubines, or even a harem of three thousand beauties wouldn't draw criticism. As long as you are strong enough, it's considered honoring your ancestors. Of course, whether you chase after girls or not is inconsequential, what's important is to pass down the immensely powerful Martial Soul, the "Godslayer Sword."
Tang San, a straight-laced man oblivious to romance, caused many good girls to eventually have no choice but to live out their days alone in bitterness.
He seems devoted, but is in fact most unfeeling.
Just be upfront if you don't like someone; nip it in the bud, and they can let go. Instead, you say nothing, letting them hold onto a glimmer of hope, only to spend the rest of their lives in regret.
Xu Ran was different from Tang San. He wanted to taste every flavor—sour, bitter, sweet, and spicy.
How can you know if a meal is delicious without tasting it? How can you truly like a girl just by appearances?
People's aesthetic preferences change as they age; what you dislike today, you might like tomorrow. If you find out you like that type later and regret not pursuing it, it would be too late.
But Xu Ran was always quite open-hearted. With him, there were only distinctions between liking, liking more, and liking very much.
For a girl like Dugu Yan, Xu Ran would naturally not let her slip away.
...
"You? Are you the one who stole my herbs?" Dugu Bo was drawn by Dugu Yan's voice and immediately saw Xu Ran sitting cross-legged and naked, absorbing the fiercely intense ice and fire energy from the Icefire Polarized Eyes.
His eyes were full of amazement and uncertainty—one part stunned by Xu Ran's youth and another by Xu Ran's audacious act of cultivating in this Strange Pond.
Not even he dared to enter this Strange Pond.
The ice and fire energy was far too frightening; he had once touched the extremely hot side of the spring. Immediately, the intense heat coursed through his fingers and swept through his body, making him feel as if he was engulfed in flames.
Ever since then, he kept a respectful distance from that place. Unlike Xu Ran, who had jumped in to cultivate, he dared not do such a thing.
"Quite interesting, but for destroying my herb garden like this, you must pay the price today."
Dugu Bo's expression was dark, and he released nine soul rings from his body, the terrifying presence of a Titled Douluo pressing down towards Xu Ran.
