From any perspective,
Zhuge Lan is indeed an exceptionally good partner.
Of course, this excludes the fact that he has many women.
But that's the only thing Dugu Yan cares about.
Just this one point alone makes her completely unable to accept it.
This is where Dugu Yan's true love-struck nature shines through—
compared to other love-struck individuals.
Dugu Yan isn't actually confused; on the contrary, she has a remarkably clear understanding of herself.
She understands that she can't hold onto Zhuge Lan's heart alone, so she shouldn't even bother with him.
She, Dugu Yan, isn't that bad!
As the most beloved granddaughter of a Title Douluo, possessing extremely high talent and a beautiful face,
Dugu Yan is undoubtedly proud—she cannot accept sharing a man with other women.
—Ning Rongrong: "That's because you haven't spent time with Brother Lan. Otherwise, you'd find that this so-called pride is completely meaningless."
Indeed—
compared to Ning Rongrong, Dugu Yan has nothing to be proud of.
The other woman came from a better family, received more pampering, and was no less beautiful than her—perhaps even more so.
To be able to completely win over someone like
Ning Rongrong shows that Dugu Yan truly underestimated Zhuge Lan's charm.
After all, the two hadn't really had any contact.
It was precisely because of this premise
that Dugu Yan couldn't accept becoming Zhuge Lan's woman—of course, Zhuge Lan himself probably couldn't accept it either, but that's another matter…
As for why she didn't go to the Xuanji Pavilion to create that premise,
the answer is obvious.
It wasn't Yu Tianheng, but the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo!
No one understood her grandfather's personality better than Dugu Yan, her granddaughter—
Dugu Bo truly doted on her.
He always wanted to give his precious granddaughter the best!
But precisely because of this,
once Dugu Bo decided something was better for his granddaughter,
he wouldn't easily give up.
This left Dugu Yan feeling helpless—
if they weren't in the same academy, it would be fine; they wouldn't see each other often, and being far apart, Dugu Bo would be powerless to do what he wanted.
But once they joined the Xuanji Pavilion…
Dugu Yan was genuinely worried—
that one day she might be walking along the street perfectly fine,
and suddenly everything went black, and she found herself in Zhuge Lan's bed. There was no doubt… Dugu Bo was absolutely capable of doing
such a thing ! Therefore, Dugu Yan truly couldn't accept it and directly rejected the Xuanji Pavilion's invitation. —Of course, she couldn't tell outsiders, not even her best friend. So, what Dugu Yan told Ye Lingling was a different version… "So, Grandpa, give up on that idea." Dugu Yan took a deep breath, her attitude incredibly resolute, directly rejecting Dugu Bo's suggestion— "Even if I don't end up with Tianheng," "I absolutely cannot share a man with another woman." "Even if I die here, jump off this cliff," "I absolutely cannot accept such a thing!" "So I'm leaving first, Grandpa, think it over carefully." Dugu Yan left resolutely, speaking with exceptional seriousness as if she had made up her mind. However— whether she would later change her mind remained to be seen. Dugu Bo held Erkang's hand, wanting to say something, but finally sighed deeply— "Sigh, Grandpa is doing this all for your own good." "Why don't you understand?" "That boy may be a bit promiscuous, but I've seen him quite serious with other women." "My granddaughter is so outstanding, how could she possibly suffer if she joins in?" "It's all that Yu Tianheng's fault!" Dugu Bo clearly didn't understand his granddaughter's ulterior motives, thinking the problem lay with Yu Tianheng. He resolved to find an opportunity to teach him a lesson later. He also wanted Dugu Yan to see clearly that this man was not a truly suitable match… —Yu Tianheng: "So?"
Dugu Bo grew increasingly frustrated, staring at the black lines gradually appearing on his hand.
He felt utterly helpless—
he hadn't expected this technique to be so difficult to cultivate.
His own Azure Phosphorous Serpent King Poison had barely reached the entry level.
As for the other rare poisons he'd found,
they couldn't even get past the basics—it was outrageous!
Remembering Zhuge Lan's inexplicable smile, Dugu Bo was seething with anger—
"Looks like that kid already anticipated this."
"He was just waiting for me to fail in my cultivation, then slink to his door begging for help!"
"So that's what he was planning."
"I, I…"
Dugu Bo's anger subsided.
Not to mention that Zhuge Lan had already warned him back then.
He and Zhuge Lan owed each other nothing now.
Although their relationship was good, even brothers had to settle accounts—Dugu Bo understood this principle perfectly.
Of course, most importantly,
facing the current Zhuge Lan, Dugu Bo felt incredibly insecure.
He was genuinely worried that he wasn't a match for that kid.
Failure might not kill him, but it would be incredibly embarrassing…
"That brat."
"Couldn't he have been a little more forceful when he invited me?"
"If he'd said a few more words…"
"Maybe, maybe I would have agreed!"
"Damn it."
[Emotional Points +23333]
Dugu Bo was truly at his wit's end. The Five Poisons Palm technique required poisons that were completely blocking him.
He had considered asking for help,
but Dugu Bo was already a Title Douluo, renowned for his poison skills. He
was the strongest poison user in the world. If
he couldn't do it himself, how could anyone else offer help?
—It was a pity that some nobody hadn't caught his eye back then.
In the end, he could only turn to Zhuge Lan for help.
Although the other party had never used poison before, since he could produce the Five Poisons Palm, such a legendary technique, he
naturally wouldn't lack the prerequisites for cultivation.
But—
Dugu Bo thought about Zhuge Lan's smile back then, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt like punching him.
Going there so pathetically was just too humiliating.
Moreover,
who knows what kind of bizarre conditions that mischievous brat might offer him?
Thinking of Shrek Academy, with its bizarre hairstyles—
some even glowing—Dugu Bo felt a chill run down his spine.
If he ended up like that, his reputation would be ruined…
What a pity.
Dugu Bo had originally wanted to give his granddaughter a chance to be close to Zhuge Lan.
Fortunately, he had come up with a plan.
—Of course, this was also because Dugu Bo had accepted Zhuge Lan.
Otherwise, let alone failing to cultivate the Five Poison Palm,
he wouldn't have pushed his granddaughter into a fire pit, even if it meant death.
"But this isn't a fire pit, it's a treasure!"
Thinking of his granddaughter's attitude,
Dugu Bo's teeth ached with anger—
he was truly at his wit's end.
He cherished his granddaughter so much, and he couldn't bear to beat her.
He didn't dare provoke Zhuge Lan either.
So what could he do…
Suddenly,
Dugu Bo's eyes lit up, and he turned to leave—
others might not dare touch him, but could he not beat up Yu Tianheng?
So what if they're from the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan?
This "Blue" isn't the "Blue" of Zhuge Lan…
Dugu Bo considered himself someone he could still afford to offend—the other party wouldn't go so far as to truly become mortal enemies with him, a Title Douluo, over such a trivial matter.
