Chapter 77 Sharing Food
"Xiao Yan, why didn't you have been born a few years earlier? You're just my type. We could even become sworn brothers."
Looking at the young man who had been treated with poison by Dugu Bo, yet still thought of him in every way, Dugu Bo couldn't help but admire him even more.
"Not asking to be born on the same day, month, and year, but asking to die together? Give me a break, old monster, I'll definitely outlive you by a long shot."
"If it were a few years earlier, that Yu family brat wouldn't have had a chance. You would have been my grandson-in-law, hahaha." Poison Douluo's words were getting more and more absurd.
Instead of responding, Xiao Yan punched Agumon. Judging from Agumon's flippant expression, Xiao Yan knew without a doubt that Agumon, after hearing Dugu Bo's words, was thinking, "My Xiao Yan only likes people older than himself; he can't be less than a full twelve years old."
Dugu Bo simply assumed it was due to the deep bond between the host and his own martial soul, and didn't delve into Xiao Yan's playful expression regarding his martial soul.
Xiao Yan ignored him and turned to Dugu Bo, cupping his hands in greeting, saying, "Old monster, don't joke with me. What merit do I have to presume to be worthy of your beautiful granddaughter?"
Xiao Yan's tone was sincere, not like a joke. In fact, he had seen the way Dugu Yan looked at Yu Tianheng during the day, and it was full of admiration. He felt that he had no reason to break up the couple.
Dugu Bo laughed heartily. Although his poison skills were formidable, his insight was even more astute. He could naturally see that this young man was determined and not one to curry favor; what he had said earlier was merely a joke made in a moment of joy.
"Good! You have guts! But it's true, it's a bit of a waste to give my beautiful granddaughter to you, you little monster. Yu Tianheng, that kid, has a bit of a problem with his character, but his family background is top-notch." He patted Xiao Yan's shoulder with considerable force.
Xiao Yan rolled his eyes. Family background, indeed. If that crazy woman Bibi Dong wipes out the sect, they'll have nothing left.
"Alright, you've taken the immortal herb and said your piece, now hurry back to your academy with me. Anyway, I only discovered this place by chance, so feel free to come anytime you need anything in the future."
"Of course I won't stand on ceremony with you." Xiao Yan bowed. Indeed, in his memory, the area of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well had become the Tang family's back garden in the later stages, and Dugu Bo had nothing to do with it.
"Old monster, are you still taking me back?" Xiao Yan recalled the image of himself and Agumon being carried on his shoulders and exposed to the wind, and he still couldn't bear it.
"Otherwise what? There are plenty of ferocious soul beasts in the Sunset Forest area. If something happens to you on the way, it will really be my fault." After Dugu Bo finished speaking, he still held the handle and led the two of them away. His figure quickly left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye area and then disappeared at the edge of the Sunset Forest.
When Xiao Yan pushed open the familiar door to the dormitory of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he was greeted by an anxious scene.
Tang San was pacing back and forth in the room with a furrowed brow, his fingers unconsciously stroking the Blue Silver Grass in his hand, clearly restless.
Xiao Wu, like a real little rabbit, nervously dangled her legs by the bed, her big eyes filled with worry. Xiao Yan vaguely remembered that the male and female dormitories were separate on this day; logically speaking, girls shouldn't be allowed in the male dormitories.
"Brother Xiao Yan! You're finally back!" Xiao Wu rushed over first, grabbing his sleeve. "We've been waiting for so long! We thought you'd only be gone for a few days, so I had Xiao San come to your dorm every day to look for you, but you still didn't come back. If Xiao San hadn't noticed the cold soul energy in your room, we wouldn't even know where you were. Then we heard that during the day, three members of the Education Committee went to fight Dugu Bo. Did that old poisoner give you any trouble? Did he give you poison?"
"Cough cough." Dugu Bo's cough came from outside the door, which startled Xiao Wu, who quickly shrank behind Tang San.
"Little monster, I'm leaving now. I look forward to your performance next year." Dugu Bo's purpose was simply to send Xiao Yan back, so he stood outside the door and didn't notice Xiao Wu inside.
Since there wasn't much to do here anyway, Dugu Bo simply left, though he might try to curry favor with his beloved granddaughter.
Tang San quickly stepped forward and looked at Xiao Yan with concern: "Brother, are you alright? Your breathing seems a little unsteady."
"Don't worry," Xiao Yan smiled, downplaying the dangers he had faced along the way. "Senior Dugu just tested me, gave me a few healing herbs, and gave me some pointers on cultivation. He's actually quite easy to talk to." As he spoke, he took out a few radiant herbs from his Ruyi Treasure Pouch.
The moment those few magical herbs appeared, the entire room seemed to be filled with a refreshing fragrance and a rich vitality.
Xiao Wu's eyes widened instantly as she stared at one of the flowers. It was a strange flower, entirely white with translucent petals and a stamen that seemed to be entwined with threads of love.
For a moment, Xiao Wu held her breath: "This...this fairy herb is so beautiful."
"Xiao Wu, this was originally prepared for you." Xiao Yan smiled faintly. He had gone to great lengths to dig out this Acacia Heartbreak Red, bringing the little white flower out with its roots still attached.
"This plant is called the Love-Sick Heartbreak Red, and there's a story behind it..." Tang San's eyes widened the moment Xiao Yan took out the three immortal herbs, all of which were top-tier immortal herbs in the Xuan Tian Treasure Record.
Not to mention the Acacia Heartbreak Red that his elder brother Xiao Yan gave to Xiao Wu, he actually gave himself two plants, namely the Black Jade Divine Bamboo and the Dew of Hope.
Both cultivating the Purple Demon Eye, these eye drops were naturally left over by Xiao Yan for Tang San.
Tang San's pupils also contracted, his gaze sharpening as he fixed his eyes on the Black Jade Divine Bamboo. The bamboo was entirely dark green, its color appearing even more intense against the extreme black, with distinct joints, exuding an ancient and resilient aura.
"Ink Jade Divine Bamboo... This immortal herb can greatly increase the toughness of a martial soul. Big brother, the immortal herb you brought for me and Xiao Wu is too precious."
"Precious?" Xiao Yan casually handed the three immortal herbs to them, his smile warm and sincere: "They're gifts for you, so why talk about preciousness? Xiao Wu, this Acacia Heartbreak Red is said to relieve the pain of unrequited love, so you should eat it as soon as possible."
Xiao Yan looked at her and Tang San and even made a teasing remark.
Xiao Wu's face flushed red instantly. She snatched the flower back and stubbornly said, "Who...who's lovesick! I don't need to cure lovesickness! This...this is for healing my leg injury. Yes, for healing my leg injury." She hugged the flower tightly to her chest, as if afraid of dropping it.
Then, following Tang San's instructions, he dripped his own blood onto it, and the flower then recognized him as its owner, to which Xiao Yan nodded.
"After next year's selection competition, you will definitely encounter more than just Dugu Bo among the titled Douluo. You must keep this Heartbreak Red safe and eat it immediately. It can also isolate the aura of its master and play a protective role." Xiao Yan did not reveal Xiao Wu's identity, but solemnly instructed her.
Tang San nodded in agreement, clearly believing that the Heartbreak Red was an extremely precious immortal herb, and that it was a good thing that it could recognize Xiao Wu as its master.
"Brother, thank you very much." Tang San thanked him again solemnly.
"We're brothers, no need for thanks." Xiao Yan waved his hand, plopped down on the bed, let out a long sigh, and felt his bones lighten a bit.
