Six-Year-Old Dugu Yan Makes a Startling Statement
The sun shone faintly through the dense leaves of the Sunset Forest, casting golden patches of light on the soft forest floor.
Yuan Longxuan, standing among the vibrant foliage, pulled a fist-sized golden melon from his system space.
He carefully placed it in front of the little girl, Dugu Yan, who looked at it suspiciously.
"Eat it," Yuan Longxuan said calmly.
"No!" Dugu Yan shouted, stamping her small feet. Her black eyes sparkled with defiance. Her grandfather, Dugu Bo, had always warned her that many herbs in this area were poisonous and dangerous.
Even if it looked like a sweet melon, it could very well be deadly.
Yuan Longxuan narrowed his eyes. "I'll count to three. If you don't eat it, I'll take drastic measures."
The little girl crossed her arms stubbornly. "I won't eat it!"
"One," Yuan Longxuan started, his tone steady and serious.
"Two! I still won't!" Dugu Yan's voice rang like a bell through the quiet forest.
"Three," Yuan Longxuan continued.
"No, no, no!" Dugu Yan shouted desperately, but before she could protest further, Yuan Longxuan used his soul power to crush the golden melon into fine powder. He carefully fed it to her.
At first, Dugu Yan's face scrunched up in disgust, but almost immediately, the effects of the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato took hold. ..
Her body felt as if it were surrounded by an intense, almost overwhelming heat, like standing beside a furnace.
From Yuan Longxuan's perspective, something extraordinary happened.
An illusory golden dragon appeared between Dugu Yan's brows.
Her Jade Scaled Snake martial spirit began transforming before his eyes.
Though she had just awakened and had yet to acquire her first spirit ring, the magical herb had accelerated the evolution of her martial spirit, pushing it toward a higher form.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo returned from capturing a four-hundred-year-old black-scaled python.
Entering the herb shop, he immediately noticed something was wrong. Half of his precious herbs had vanished.
"Yanyan! What have you done?!" he shouted in panic, rushing to the center of the herb garden.
Before he could even react further, Yuan Longxuan struck.
A powerful punch sent Dugu Bo flying backward.
The shockwave was so intense that even the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire trembled violently.
The nearby ground cracked, and clouds of dust and smoke filled the air.
"Be quiet! I won't hold back next time!" Yuan Longxuan said calmly, ignoring Dugu Bo's flailing limbs.
Fortunately, he had already cast a protective barrier around Dugu Yan, ensuring that the young girl's absorption of the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was uninterrupted.
If she had been disturbed, the herb's effects would have been greatly weakened.
Dugu Yan's martial spirit, the Jade Scaled Snake, was evolving.
The Golden Dragon Sweet Potato, though a plant-based magical herb, contained pure dragon energy.
It carried the essence of true dragon blood, making it perfect for boosting her abilities.
While it wasn't enough to transform her spirit directly into a full dragon, it was more than sufficient to elevate it into a top-level sub-dragon martial spirit.
The young girl's power now rivaled even the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex martial soul in strength.
Dugu Bo, watching helplessly, could only feel pride mixed with fear for his granddaughter.
"Who are you? What have you done to my granddaughter?!"
Dugu Bo roared, trying to resist, but Yuan Longxuan was far stronger.
"I'll give you thirty seconds to calm down and speak properly, or next time I won't hold back," Yuan Longxuan warned.
Dugu Bo's mind raced. The aura emanating from his granddaughter was overwhelming, yet she was only a six-year-old child.
Even so, her arrogance, her fearlessness in confronting someone like Yuan Longxuan, made him hesitate.
Finally, the Golden Dragon Sweet Potato was fully absorbed. Dugu Yan's eyes gleamed with power.
She opened them wide and spotted her grandfather, who was still lying helplessly beside Yuan Longxuan.
The young girl's tiny fists clenched.
"You bad guy! Let Grandpa go!" she shouted, her voice filled with righteous fury.
Yuan Longxuan simply smiled, watching the little girl struggle with adorable determination.
Six-year-old children were easily frightened, yet her courage was impressive.
"Okay, scream nicely, and I might let your grandfather go if you make me happy," Yuan Longxuan teased, his tone playful but firm.
Dugu Bo, pinned under Yuan Longxuan's control, could only grimace.
He was helpless, yet he understood the situation: the young girl had no chance of overpowering this formidable man.
Dugu Yan looked at her grandfather, trapped and humiliated, and then at Yuan Longxuan, who had forced her to eat the magical herb. She took a deep breath and made a decision.
"Husband! I will go with you and be your little wife! Let Grandpa go now!" she declared boldly.
The statement stunned both Yuan Longxuan and Dugu Bo. A six-year-old girl saying such words—it was completely unexpected. Silence filled the forest, as everyone froze in shock.
Yuan Longxuan finally pulled Dugu Bo out from under him, brushing the dirt from the old man's face.
"What have you been teaching this little girl? Is this really appropriate for her age?" he asked, half amused, half scolding.
Dugu Bo's face turned red with embarrassment.
He could only shake his head, speechless, as Dugu Yan added another bold sentence.
"Hey! I call you husband, and I'm willing to be your little wife. So why do you hit my grandfather?!"
