"You brat, I'll spank you until your butt's rotten!"
Dugu Yan pounced on Ye Lingling, pinning her beneath her. Ye Lingling was instantly overwhelmed.
Although she had absorbed several soul bones, she was still incredibly weak compared to Dugu Yan, a Soul Emperor, and was easily suppressed.
"Pei Qing, save me!"
Ye Lingling pleaded pitifully with Pei Qing, seeking help.
"Sister Lingling, don't be afraid, let's just bite him."
Would Pei Qing help? Of course not. She loved watching girls fight, and now that she finally had a chance to watch, why would she help?
Impossible, absolutely impossible!!!
"Lingling, let's go together!"
Dugu Yan glared at Pei Qing and immediately jumped off Ye Lingling, lunging at Pei Qing. Ye Lingling, not holding back either, angrily threw her small, white fist at Pei Qing. Pei
Qing watched the two of them rush towards him, a smile flashing in his eyes. He
then reached out and grabbed both of their fists, casually tossing them onto the bed.
"Alright, stop fooling around. I came back this time for something. This matter concerning Yan Yan is of great significance to you. Hurry up and get dressed; let's go see Senior Dugu."
Given Dugu Yan's current lazy cultivation habits, there was virtually no hope of repairing and inheriting the Plague God's authority. Therefore, Pei Qing needed to let Dugu Bo witness his abilities.
Dugu Bo's strength had already reached the Super Douluo level; supervising Dugu Yan's cultivation would be a piece of cake.
Don't even mention Dugu Bo spoiling Dugu Yan and letting her neglect her cultivation; that's impossible. His granddaughter has the potential to become a god, and as her grandfather, Dugu Bo will only constantly urge her on, possibly even making her meditate 24/7.
"What's so important to me?"
Seeing Pei Qing's serious expression, Dugu Yan also became serious.
"You'd better get up quickly. Your pajamas are showing; are you trying to seduce me, you little vixen?"
Pei Qing sneered, immediately making Dugu Yan want to pounce on him again and see who was stronger.
"Yan Yan, stop fooling around. You'll really expose yourself."
"We absolutely mustn't let this guy get away with this."
Ye Lingling grabbed Dugu Yan, stopping her from continuing her antics, and spoke seriously.
"Oh, you're right."
Dugu Yan snorted and clenched her little fists at Pei Qing, looking very angry.
Pei Qing said nothing, his figure vanishing instantly.
He reappeared in Dugu Bo's room.
The moment he appeared, an extremely dense green poisonous mist swept towards him.
Seeing the approaching mist, golden flames flickered in Pei Qing's eyes.
Instantly, his Solar True Fire blazed fiercely, and in just a moment, Dugu Bo's level 95 poisonous mist was completely incinerated.
"Senior Dugu, it's only been a little over a year, you don't have to treat me like this!"
Pei Qing smiled at Dugu Bo, his voice full of teasing.
"Pei Qing, it's actually you, kid! I thought you were an enemy!"
Dugu Bo only then noticed that the person in front of him was Pei Qing, and his face immediately lit up with a smile.
He had watched Pei Qing grow up and even considered him his grandson-in-law in his heart. Seeing Pei Qing now, he was naturally very happy.
"Grandpa Dugu seems to have improved a lot this year. That poison mist attack just now was really fast and accurate. If I hadn't been prepared, I probably would have been caught off guard."
Pei Qing was very impressed with Dugu Bo's move. His strength had improved by leaps and bounds in the past year, and the fact that Dugu Bo was able to launch a counterattack when he appeared was enough to show his progress.
"You little rascal, you're just teasing this old man. What improvement have I made? You could probably kill me easily now!"
"Alright, tell me, you brat, what brings you to this old man? Did you just come to see my strength?"
Dugu Bo smiled as he looked at Pei Qing, who had suddenly appeared.
He then went to the table and poured a cup of tea for each of them.
"There is indeed something I need to discuss, but it concerns Yan Yan."
"Grandpa Dugu, I'm afraid you'll have to work hard for the next few years."
Pei Qing's face turned serious as he earnestly addressed Dugu Bo.
"What is it that you can't do yourself and need my help?" "
Could it be the Spirit Hall? No, although I don't know your relationship with the Spirit Hall, they would never attack you."
Dugu Bo looked at Pei Qing with some confusion. He had no idea what Pei Qing needed his help with, and he knew very well that his strength was insufficient to help Pei Qing.
However, since Pei Qing needed his help, he wouldn't refuse.
If it could really help, he would gladly give his life.
"It's not about the Spirit Hall; this is very important, it concerns Sister Yan Yan's future."
Hearing Pei Qing's words, Dugu Bo's face immediately became even more serious.
Soon, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, dressed neatly, appeared in Dugu Bo's room.
After their arrival, Pei Qing finally produced the Plague God's Authority.
"What is this?"
Seeing Pei Qing produce a broken green crystal out of thin air, the three of them showed puzzled expressions. Could this be something important?
It looked completely ordinary, without any special fluctuations.
"You've all heard of gods, right? This shattered crystal is the legacy of a god."
"I found this by chance in an ancient ruin, called the Plague God's Authority. It's a pity it's broken, but its spiritual essence isn't greatly damaged, so it might be repairable."
"Sister Yan Yan, I want you to repair this. Your attributes are the best choice. What do you think?"
Pei Qing looked at the green, shattered crystal still sealed by the Heavenly Lock on the table, and spoke to Dugu Yan with great seriousness.
Dugu Yan's talent wasn't actually that strong; at over twenty years old, she was only a Soul Emperor. Even with my help, she'd probably only reach the second-level god level. So, I might as well take a gamble; maybe things will turn out differently!
