"hiss!"
Yue Guan Gui Mei and She Long gasped, exchanged a glance, and then headed toward Du Gu Yan and Ye Leng Leng.
Before confirming Gu Xuan's identity, they did not want to antagonize him, since those qualified to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring were either exceptionally talented or incredibly powerful.
The primary approach they take to attract such talent is through recruitment and manipulation.
Besides, there's no conflict between the two sides right now. They'd be crazy to interrupt Gu Xuan's absorption of the soul ring.
Moreover, based on their understanding, it would take at least two or three days for a Title Douluo to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring.
They could have used this time to determine Gu Xuan's identity and then decided whether or not to intervene.
"Miss Dugu, Miss Lingling, hello! We've finally found you."
Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng were both watching Gu Xuan absorb the soul ring with complete concentration when Yue Guan's sarcastic voice suddenly rang in their ears, almost scaring the two girls out of their wits.
If they hadn't covered their mouths in time to avoid disturbing Gu Xuan who was absorbing a spirit ring, their screams would probably have pierced the sky.
Even so, the two of them couldn't help but jump forward a short distance.
Alan remained expressionless and motionless, holding the Blue Silver Emperor like a vegetable without making any movement.
Dugu Yan reacted instantly, and her martial spirit activated, putting her into battle mode.
However, his pupils shrank instantly when he turned around and saw Yue Guan and Gui Mei.
Ye Lengleng also turned around, her delicate body trembling with shock.
Both of them held a certain status, and they certainly remembered the portraits of the powerful figures active on the continent. They were just afraid of encountering these people who were pretending to be weak while actually being strong.
"Your Excellency Chrysanthemum Douluo, Your Excellency Ghost Douluo, may I ask what brings you here?"
Dugu Yan stepped forward and shielded Ye Lingleng behind her.
She was unaware of the conflict between Yue Guan and her grandfather, but from Dugu Bo's words and actions, she knew that the two probably didn't get along.
But now is the crucial moment for their young master to absorb the soul ring.
She was also aware of how fast Gu Xuan absorbed the soul rings, so they only needed to stall him for a while to be safe.
She believed that with Gu Xuan's strength, even though Chrysanthemum Demon Douluo was famous throughout the continent, he would definitely not be a match for the young master.
With this confidence, Dugu Yan spoke with much more force.
"Heh, don't be so nervous. We don't mean any harm. We just came here specifically to invite you to the Spirit Hall."
Oh, by the way, you guys—
Just as Yue Guan was about to ask about Gu Xuan's whereabouts, a faint fragrance wafted into Yue Guan's nose from the two women.
Yue Guan's mind went blank for a moment, and she even forgot what she wanted to ask.
If his eyes could move like a slot machine, then right now there would definitely be images of countless magical herbs spinning around.
Finally, the images of the two immortal herbs appeared in Yue Guan's blank mind.
"Ahhhhh, the fragrant tulip, a divine delicacy!"
"You...you ate these two magical herbs?!"
Yue Guan screamed instantly, almost jumping up in excitement.
"Shut up, you idiot!"
Seeing this, Dugu Yan disregarded her fear and rushed forward to cover Yue Guan's mouth.
Her young master is currently absorbing a 100,000-year soul ring. What if he gets disturbed?
"Are you crazy? Don't you know you shouldn't disturb someone when they're absorbing a spirit ring?!"
Dugu Yan glared fiercely at the bewildered Yue Guan and hissed.
Gui Mei and She Long's eyes twitched. Who's the rascal here?
You, a mere Soul Master, dare to cover the mouth of a Title Douluo and even threaten him? Are you more arrogant than him?
Just as the two were preparing to watch the show, the scene of Yue Guan's anger that they had imagined did not happen.
As a refined Title Douluo, Yue Guan has a few minor germaphobias and dislikes being touched by others.
However, the situation they had anticipated did not occur.
Instead of getting angry, Yue Guan took a deep breath and then looked completely absorbed in the moment.
This bizarre scene made Dugu Yan instinctively shudder and jump off Yue Guan, creating a considerable distance between them.
Seeing Yue Guan's intoxicated expression, Dugu Yan felt a chill run down her spine. She never expected that the dignified Yue Guan Ju Douluo would be such a pervert!
"Sorry, I got a little excited and startled you."
Yue Guan was lost in thought for a while before he came back to his senses. Looking at the wary Dugu Yan and Ye Leng Leng, a loving smile appeared on his face.
At this point, how could he possibly care about Bibi Dong's mission?
He now wanted to know where the fragrance of the immortal herbs on Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng came from, and whether they still had any.
The ghost looked at Yue Guan as if he had seen a ghost. Although Yue Guan usually seemed easy to talk to, that was all just a facade. The ghost was certain that Yue Guan was genuinely showing goodwill from the bottom of his heart.
What kind of international joke is this?
And Yu Long, who came along, didn't want to ask questions?
But he didn't have a chance. He was only level 91, while Yue Guan and Gui Mei were already level 94.
Faced with overwhelming power, he didn't even have a chance to speak.
Moreover, since the three of them are together, he will know whatever Yue Guan and the others ask, so it doesn't really matter whether he asks or not.
Looking at Yue Guan's seductive and affected manner, Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng felt goosebumps.
Is this Chrysanthemum Douluo a man? Why is he so effeminate?
"Alright, you still haven't answered my question. Where did the fairy grass you eat come from? Can you tell me?"
O
Yue Guan has now definitively confirmed that Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng definitely consumed the immortal herbs, and not just any immortal herbs, but the finest ones: the Qiluo Tulip and the Youxiang Qiluo Immortal Herb, both of which are exceptionally luxurious and elegant.
This is a perfect match for his Qirong Tongtianju (奇茸通天菊).
Yue Guan looked expectantly at the two women, who were practically jumping up and down in their anxiety.
"Sorry, we can't say that."
Although it's unclear how Yue Guan could tell at a glance that they had taken the immortal herb, this is obviously not something that can be told to Yue Guan.
"this----"
Seeing Dugu Yan's resolute expression, not only Yue Guan, but even Gui Mei and She Long were slightly surprised.
You have to understand that the three of them are titled Douluo. Does Dugu Yan have some kind of backing that makes her dare to speak to them like that?
"Well, never mind, I doubt you can make that decision either. I'll just have to talk to the old poison master later."
Yue Guan thought about it and felt that Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng were too young to get any information out of them even if she asked.
It feels like a waste. If he had gotten his hands on those two top-grade immortal herbs, he probably wouldn't have needed to worry about the bottleneck before level 99.
No longer dwelling on the matter of the immortal herb, Yue Guan naturally turned her attention to Gu Xuan.
However, Gu Xuan, whose appearance had changed drastically, was not recognized by them, and they did not think that a child who had awakened his martial soul less than a year ago could have the ability to absorb a 100,000-year soul ring.
Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lengleng felt a pang of guilt upon witnessing this scene.
