"As long as it's edible, there's no need for such a fuss. Let's just go to your place and have Yan Yan cook. Wouldn't gathering at home be more comfortable than going to a restaurant?" Mo Yun said with a smile.
"But Yan Yan's cooking…" Dugu Bo hesitated.
"It's fine. As for cooking, I also know a little bit. I'll give her some pointers then, and I guarantee she'll cook food more delicious than Fuding Lou. Just wait to enjoy the feast!"
Hearing this, Dugu Bo no longer hesitated and nodded, saying, "Alright, then let's go straight to my house. After so many years, that girl Yan Yan must really want to see you."
"Then what are you still standing around for? Hurry up!"
"You brat, why are you in such a hurry?" Dugu Bo was startled.
"It's nothing, nothing, just really hungry!" Mo Yun smiled innocently.
Mo Yun and Dugu Bo were walking back.
The streets, without Xue Beng, were exceptionally lively.
Soon, darkness fell, and the air became heavy, seemingly a sign of heavy rain approaching.
Pedestrians on the road hurried, their steps quickening slightly.
Even so, it didn't affect their chattering.
Next to Mo Yun and Dugu Bo, two young men, one thin and one stout, began to converse.
"Hey, haven't seen you in a few days, you finally returned to the city. Was this Spirit Beast hunt smooth?" The tall and thin young man struck up a conversation.
"Of course it was smooth! I hunted a Spirit Beast that suited me and have successfully obtained my third spirit ring!" The young man, built like a small mountain, said proudly.
"How old was the Spirit Beast?" The tall and thin young man asked curiously.
"233 years…" The tall and stout young man's voice weakened a bit.
"Uh… don't be discouraged, hunt a better one next time!"
"Mhm! I'll keep working hard!"
"By the way, a few nights ago, there was a strange phenomenon in the sky, and the Martial Soul Ranking was announced. Did you know?" The tall and thin young man asked.
"Nonsense! How could I not know about such a big commotion?"
"If only I had made it onto the ranking then, not only would there be Spirit Pill rewards, but also powerful Spirit Abilities given as gifts, making one's strength soar!"
"Haha, you're dreaming. With our crappy Spirit, even if its quality increased ten times, a hundred times, a thousand times, it might not even make it onto the ranking!"
"Sigh, you're right. I have a scythe Spirit, and it's even rusty. I'm a natural waste. When I was little, people even mocked me for being a grass cutter. I'd be happy just to break through to level thirty in this life."
Mo Yun listened to their conversation and couldn't help but complain in his heart.
"A rusty scythe Spirit? Sounds quite formidable."
"No matter the power, at least it sounds like it can restrain Blue Silver Grass, hahaha."
"Hmm, next time I beat up Tang San, should I try transforming my Asura Sword into a rusty scythe?"
"Hahaha, that sounds interesting, let's do it!"
Mo Yun couldn't help but laugh.
"You brat, what mischievous ideas are you cooking up now?" Dugu Bo noticed the sudden mischievous smile on Mo Yun's face and asked curiously.
"What mischievous ideas could I be cooking up? I was thinking, since we haven't seen each other in so long, should I buy Yan Yan a gift to bring over?"
Dugu Bo shook his head, took out a jade pendant from his embrace, and handed it to Mo Yun, saying, "No need to bother. Just give this jade pendant to Yan Yan."
"Huh?" Mo Yun was confused.
"I found this jade pendant a few days ago. It has a faint healing spirit power, and when spirit power is infused, it can also generate heat. It will be beneficial for Yan Yan to wear it, as it can alleviate her pain."
"If you give it to Yan Yan in your name, she might be even happier."
As he spoke, a trace of loneliness flashed in Dugu Bo's eyes.
Seeing this, Mo Yun was stunned for a moment, then handed the jade pendant back to Dugu Bo.
"What's wrong?" Dugu was surprised.
"You keep this. Yan Yan won't need it anymore," Mo Yun said.
"Hmm?" Dugu Bo was startled.
"I said back then that just because I couldn't completely remove the toxins from Yan Yan's body at that time didn't mean I never could."
Mo Yun revealed a brilliant smile and continued, "Now, I've found a way. Don't worry, I'll help her detoxify this time."
"R-really?" Dugu Bo trembled all over, his face filled with disbelief.
"Nonsense, could it be false? When have I ever tricked you?"
"That's great, that's just too great! You brat are truly my lucky star!"
"As long as you can remove the toxins from Yan Yan, I will serve you like an ox or a horse for the rest of my life!"
Dugu Bo was so happy he almost jumped up, trembling with excitement.
"Alright, alright, stop saying all this. Let's go quickly, it's going to rain," Mo Yun shook his head.
"Right, right, I need to hurry back and tell Yan Yan this good news." Dugu Bo quickened his pace.
Mo Yun smiled and followed suit.
Because of Mo Yun.
The will of the Douluo Continent's Great Dao would be influenced to some extent, and the fate lines of some characters would occasionally deviate slightly.
Dugu Yan's fate line had deviated.
Dugu Bo's poison had been cured by Mo Yun.
However, when Mo Yun examined Dugu Yan's body, he found that the poison in her body had mutated.
Although the poisoning wasn't deep, Mo Yun managed to suppress it in time.
But at that time, Mo Yun had no way to completely eradicate it.
After all, Mo Yun hadn't accumulated many medical skill points back then, and his techniques weren't proficient enough to temporarily clear the toxins.
Of course, since the toxins were suppressed by Mo Yun in time and didn't spread, even if they weren't cleared, they wouldn't pose a life threat to Dugu Yan.
But no matter what, it would still affect Dugu Yan to some extent, making her more painful when she had her period each month, sometimes even causing her to roll on the ground in agony.
But it didn't matter.
Years passed, and Mo Yun's medical skills had become god-like, making it simple to clear the mutated toxins.
Rumble!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared in the sky; a downpour seemed imminent.
The thin and stout duo, who had fallen a few paces behind, also quickened their steps and once again walked alongside Mo Yun.
Their conversation resumed.
"Big Fatty, did you know, I heard that all the major powers are searching for the strong individuals on the ranking list, wanting to recruit them!"
"Nonsense, of course I know. Besides recruiting, some people even want to directly assassinate those unaligned experts on the ranking to seize their Spirit Pills!"
At this, Big Fatty sighed with emotion and continued.
"I was even stopped and checked for a long time when I was hunting Spirit Beasts."
"They said my Spirit was very similar to the 165th ranked Dark Blood Scythe Spirit on the Heaven Ranking!"
"Damn it! If only I weren't so useless! With only two white spirit rings! Those beasts would have really taken me for a Heaven Ranking expert!"
Big Fatty's companion, Thinny, wiped away a cold sweat, unsure what to say.
Big Fatty shook his head and said to himself.
"Sigh, His Majesty has also dispatched a large number of people to search for the experts on the ranking list. I heard that anyone who joins the Heaven Dou Imperial Family will receive generous rewards!"
"Indeed, some unaligned Heaven Ranking experts have already joined the Heaven Dou Imperial Family and have all received considerable rewards!"
Hearing this, Fatty sighed with emotion.
"It's reasonable for these unaligned experts to do this, after all, only by relying on major powers can they obtain more resources."
"With more and better resources, they can improve their strength as quickly as possible, making it more likely for them to secure a place on the upcoming rankings and receive better Heaven Ranking rewards!"
"Sigh, it's a pity my strength is too poor. I'm destined to be unrelated to any ranking, otherwise, I would also fight for it!"
Big Fatty looked at the darkening sky with a bitter face, wanting to cry.
"If only my broken scythe could be as cool as the Asura Sword, sigh!"
"Now the whole World is looking for the number one Asura Sword on the ranking. When will I be as outstanding as him…?"
"Don't be discouraged, you have a chance," Thinny encouraged Big Fatty.
"What chance do I have?" Big Fatty was startled.
"In my opinion, if there were a weight ranking, you might be able to rank first!" Thinny said seriously.
"You…!" Big Fatty wanted to hit him.
… … … …
Rumble!
Splash!
Rain poured down.
One second before the rain started, Dugu Bo brought Mo Yun back to the mansion.
Hearing the noise, Dugu Yan quickly ran out.
"Grandpa, you're back!"
However, very quickly, she saw Mo Yun, and her body couldn't help but tremble. The cup she was holding clattered to the ground, shattering.
"Mo… Mo Yun?"
At the same time, Mo Yun also saw Dugu Yan.
"Yan Yan, after a few years, you've really grown a lot, wow."
As he spoke, Mo Yun glanced at Dugu Yan's chest.
Goodness, that must be at least a D, right?
"Mo Yun, what are you looking at…"
Dugu Yan's face was flushed all the way to her neck, shy beyond measure.
This guy was too much, staring at her as soon as he arrived.
But at the same time, Dugu Yan also felt a little secretly pleased.
No matter what, she had developed quite well these past few years.
Men, don't they all like big ones?
Mo Yun liked them too, right…?
Seeing that Dugu Yan recognized him immediately, Mo Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.
His current aura and appearance were completely different from before, how did this girl recognize him?
Seemingly sensing Mo Yun's confusion, the blushing Dugu Yan looked up and secretly glanced at Mo Yun, whispering.
"Although your appearance has changed a lot, I remember your aura…"
Hearing this, Mo Yun was stunned, and only then did he remember that the effect of his previous aura adjustment had not yet disappeared.
