"Creak~"
Ye Han stood up and pushed the door open to welcome his guests.
Ling Yuan and Xiao Wu followed closely behind him.
As soon as the courtyard gate opened, two familiar figures came into view.
They were none other than the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo, and his beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
Over the past two years, both of them had made significant progress.
The former, after recovering from the toxins in his body, had advanced from level 91 to level 92.
The latter, with the help of consuming immortal herbs, had risen from level 30 to level 36.
In truth, this wasn't particularly fast. One of those levels had been gained through absorbing a spirit ring.
"Little Han, congratulations on officially becoming the Holy Son~"
As soon as Dugu Yan saw Ye Han, her face lit up with a smile as she greeted him.
She also politely greeted Elder Ling Yuan, but when her eyes fell on Xiao Wu...
"Hmph!"
She let out a light snort, then stepped forward and wrapped her arm around Ye Han's, raising her chin in a show of dominance.
This stinky, flirtatious snake is trying to steal my master again!
Xiao Wu, not to be outdone, grabbed Ye Han's other arm, and the two began vying for his attention.
Ye Han felt utterly speechless. What's with these two acting like this in the middle of the night?!
"Haha."
Dugu Bo chuckled at the scene, then respectfully said:
"Congratulations on your official coronation as the Holy Son today, Your Highness. Your future is undoubtedly boundless."
"But may I ask why you specifically asked my granddaughter to bring me here today? What do you need?"
Ye Han didn't beat around the bush and replied seriously:
"Senior Dugu, you're too kind. The reason I asked you here today is that I wish to visit the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
"I want to go to the bottom of the well to retrieve something. I wanted to ask for your permission first. Would that be alright?"
Since Dugu Bo was the nominal owner of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, it was only polite to ask for his consent.
"Go to the bottom of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well?!"
A flash of surprise crossed Dugu Bo's eyes.
But when he thought about Ye Han's terrifying abilities, he quickly nodded in understanding:
"I see. Your Highness, there's no need to stand on ceremony. You're welcome to go anytime."
Dugu Yan and Xiao Wu didn't react much to Ye Han's words.
They were both confident that for Ye Han, this would be a trivial matter, nothing to worry about.
Ling Yuan also showed no surprise, as Ye Han had already discussed this with her beforehand.
"Good."
Ye Han nodded in satisfaction and continued:
"Then I'll trouble Senior Dugu to take your granddaughter out of the city and wait for me for a moment."
"I need to first inform the Grand Elder, then I'll leave the city to meet up with you, and we'll head to the Sunset Forest together."
Dugu Bo laughed heartily:
"Of course, of course. Yan'er, let's go. There will be plenty of opportunities later."
Dugu Yan reluctantly let go of Ye Han's arm.
Before leaving, she couldn't resist giving Ye Han a flirtatious glance, saying in a sweet voice:
"Little Han, I'll be waiting for you~"
Stinky flirtatious snake!
Before Ye Han could react, Xiao Wu cursed her in her heart.
"..."
Ye Han shook his head helplessly.
Then he shook off Xiao Wu and threw himself into Ling Yuan's arms, acting coquettishly:
"Ling Yuan, you'll come with me, right? Let's go find the Grand Elder now."
Ling Yuan giggled, patting Ye Han's head:
"Of course! Even if you didn't want me to go, I wouldn't let you go alone~"
Ye Han grinned, then took her hand and prepared to leave.
"Master, w-wait!"
Xiao Wu suddenly called out, her voice urgent:
"Master, I want to go too! Please take me with you!"
Ye Han frowned, not particularly interested in indulging her:
"You? What do you need to go for? Stay home and watch the house!"
Xiao Wu panicked, clinging to Ye Han and pleading pitifully:
"Master, please! I promise I won't cause any trouble, okay? Please take me with you~"
Ye Han didn't feel like dealing with her, so he shifted the responsibility:
"Don't ask me. Ask Ling Yuan."
Xiao Wu immediately turned her pitiful gaze to Ling Yuan.
Her rabbit ears drooped nervously, as if afraid Ling Yuan would get angry.
Ling Yuan's eyes flickered for a moment, then she nodded:
"Fine, you can come. But behave yourself on the way, or else... I'll whip you!"
After two years of living together, she had noticed that although Xiao Wu could be mischievous, she was quite obedient around Ye Han.
She had often seen the rabbit staying up late at night, whispering her love for Ye Han to the Lovesick Heartbroken Red.
From this, Ling Yuan concluded that the rabbit had fallen for Ye Han and posed no immediate threat to him.
Bringing her along wouldn't cause any issues, and it would save them from her throwing a tantrum and crying at home.
Xiao Wu shivered at the mention of being whipped.
But her joy at being allowed to come outweighed her fear, and her rabbit ears perked up excitedly.
Ye Han was slightly surprised that Ling Yuan had agreed, but he didn't dwell on it.
And so, the three of them set off to find the Grand Elder, Qian Daoliu.
After some discussion, Qian Daoliu ultimately agreed to let Ye Han and Ling Yuan leave.
The three then left the city to meet up with Dugu Bo and embarked on their journey to the Sunset Forest.
At the same time, Ye Han secretly vowed to settle the score with that madwoman, Bibi Dong, when he returned.
How could he let her off after she had humiliated him today? She would face his wrath soon enough.
...
Not long after they left.
Inside the Pope's chambers, Bibi Dong received a report from her informants.
Sitting in her luxurious room, Bibi Dong's beautiful eyes were filled with complex emotions.
She had thought that Ye Han would come to confront her tonight, demanding an explanation for today's events.
But to her utter surprise, Ye Han had chosen to leave the city instead?
"What is he doing?!"
"Could there be something more important than me?!"
Bibi Dong muttered to herself, feeling an inexplicable sense of irritation.
With this in mind, she immediately called out to the maid waiting outside:
"Someone! Summon Elder Ghost to see me!"
At the same time, elsewhere.
A stunning figure with golden-orange hair, holding a bouquet of flowers, appeared outside Ye Han and Ling Yuan's residence.
It was Hu Liena. Her tender, alluring lips murmured softly to herself:
"Giving flowers as a congratulatory gift for Ye Han's coronation as Holy Son shouldn't be too cliché, right? Heehee."
With that, she knocked on the courtyard gate, but there was no response. She guessed that Ye Han wasn't home.
Disappointed, she turned and headed for the Pope's chambers, planning to ask her teacher where Ye Han had gone.
...
After a long journey, with a night's rest along the way, the group finally arrived at their destination by sunset the next day.
After a brief rest, Ye Han approached the edge of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Gazing at the swirling, radiant waters, a sense of anticipation welled up in his heart.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well was created from the remains of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. The opportunities hidden beneath its surface were undoubtedly immense.
Moreover, this was the content of the Dragon God's fourth trial—to delve deep into the well and seize its treasures!
"Hubby, are you going down now?"
Ling Yuan walked over, inexplicably feeling a bit worried.
"Yes, I'll be back soon!"
Ye Han patted Ling Yuan's hand, nodding with confidence.
Then, without hesitation, he leaped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
The moment he entered, the intense contrast between the icy and fiery temperatures surged over him like a tidal wave.
Having consumed two immortal herbs and possessing a saintly body, Ye Han was unaffected and continued diving toward the bottom.
But after a short while, Ye Han reached the deepest part of the well and found that there was nothing unusual there.
According to the original records, the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings were buried ten thousand zhang beneath the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
But now, after diving only a hundred zhang, he had already reached the bottom. Would he have to dig further down?
"Buzz—!"
Just as Ye Han was pondering this, the center of the well's bottom suddenly flashed with a strange blue-red light.
Immediately after, Ye Han felt an invisible force pulling at something within his body.
Realizing what was happening, Ye Han understood that the Dragon God's three treasures were resonating with the well's energy.
This well was likely a special seal, and once the Dragon God's treasures reached a certain level of compatibility, it would open.
"Whoosh—!"
Before Ye Han could figure out how to open the seal, his body was suddenly pulled in uncontrollably.
The surroundings shifted rapidly, and he found himself in a strange space constructed of ice and fire.
