Shen Liuyu was stunned.
Shui Ningbing and Shui Bing'er sisters were also severely stunned.
The huge change in Dugu Bo's attitude before and after obviously caught several people off guard.
"That... Senior, do you know my brother?"
Shen Liuyu asked cautiously.
Dugu Bo nodded with a smile, looking at the few people who were still extremely nervous, and said:
"This old man is named Dugu Bo. Perhaps you have no impression of this name, but this old man has another name, Title Douluo Poison Douluo!"
Shui Ningbing's mind turned, and she subconsciously said:
"You are the one known as the world's number one poison expert who dominates the world with poison, His Majesty the Poison Douluo?"
Dugu Bo nodded, without denying it.
Shui Bing'er and her sister, who was full of confusion, exchanged glances, both unable to help being deeply shocked.
In this era where a Title Douluo could dominate one side, being able to meet a living Title Douluo was already a tremendous shock for them, and it could even be said that they could go out and show off about it.
"Senior Poison Douluo, then what business do you have coming to find my brother?"
Seeing that Dugu Bo's attitude was gentle, Shen Liuyu gathered her courage and asked again.
Seeing Shen Liuyu's cautious appearance, Dugu Bo's tone unconsciously became a bit more gentle.
"Little girl, you're called Shen Liuyu, right? No need to be so afraid. This old man and your brother are friends despite the age difference. If you don't mind, you can call this old man Grandpa..."
Shui Ningbing looked in shock at Dugu Bo, who had a kind and benevolent appearance, while Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er were already somewhat dazed and frozen in place.
"Ah?"
"No, no, Dugu... Grandpa Dugu..."
Shen Liuyu's face was slightly red, but she still called out.
Dugu Bo smiled and responded, then touched Shen Liuyu's head.
At this moment, a somewhat irritating voice came from behind:
"Old fart, I didn't expect you to come so quickly."
Shen Hanyu was carrying a thousand-year-level Explosive Bear at the small courtyard entrance, with a strand of Blue Silver Grass still dangling from his mouth.
Dugu Bo's expression stiffened, then he slowly shifted his gaze to Shen Hanyu and coldly snorted:
"Stinky brat, you actually dare to order this old man to travel thousands of miles to find you. Your guts are getting bigger and bigger..."
Shen Hanyu raised an eyebrow. As his strength gradually increased, his courage and mindset had indeed become bolder, and Dugu Bo wasn't wrong about that.
"Listen to how you're saying it. We're close like that, who's ordering whom? Isn't it just that I thought the Far North was more suitable for us to do that thing?"
Shen Hanyu explained with a smile.
He swore he absolutely wasn't trying to slack off and avoid making another trip himself, which was why he called Dugu Bo to come to Element City.
Dugu Bo looked at Shen Hanyu suspiciously, but in the end, he reluctantly believed Shen Hanyu's explanation.
Shen Hanyu dragged the Explosive Bear's corpse into the small courtyard, then tossed the body to the side and said:
"How come? Aunt Shui came along too, and Bing'er, Yue'er, and Ayu..."
Dugu Bo's expression stiffened. He coughed once and said:
"It's nothing much, just happened to meet them on the road, so we came together."
Shen Hanyu let out an "oh," not really minding the matter.
After all, he had just seen Dugu Bo's attitude toward Shen Liuyu, so he wasn't worried that Dugu Bo would harm them.
Shui Ningbing watched the calm and casual way the two conversed, her gaze filled with shock and confusion, but she didn't dare step forward to ask.
Shen Hanyu looked at the few people and said with a smile:
"Perfect, everyone's here. Tonight I'll personally cook. The bear paws of a thousand-year-old Explosive Bear are a rare delicacy. Placed in the outside world, they'd cost at least tens of thousands of gold soul coins..."
Shui Ningbing opened her mouth, but nothing came out. In the end, she just lightly patted Shui Bing'er's shoulder and said softly:
"Bing'er, go help..."
Shui Bing'er: "..."
Help! She really didn't want to get close to this stinky big, dumb bear ahhhhh!
Dugu Bo snorted once, but didn't refuse, just casually found a chair and sat down.
Shui Ningbing and Shui Yue'er went to brew tea, while Shen Liuyu was kept by Dugu Bo to chat.
The sharp blade of the Cold Heaven Spear directly cut off the two fresh bear paws, where the snow-white meat looked extremely delicious, forming a stark contrast with the terrifying and rough exterior.
...
In the kitchen.
Shui Bing'er watched Shen Hanyu studying the seasonings, stepped forward two steps, and softly asked:
"Shen... Hanyu, how did you come to know this Title Douluo senior?"
The question was a bit silly, but it was probably what she was most curious about.
Shen Hanyu tasted the flavor of one seasoning and said:
"It's quite interesting. I made a deal with him, then later found this old man pretty amusing. This old man probably found me pleasing to the eye too, so gradually our relationship got better."
Shui Bing'er let out an incredulous "mm," then, looking at the seasoning Shen Hanyu was about to add, she loudly said:
"Hey! What are you doing... that's not salt! Do you even know how to cook or not!"
Shen Hanyu's hand paused in its motion, and he said:
"Then how about you do it?"
Shui Bing'er looked at the messy pile of seasonings, sighed, pointed toward the door, and said:
"Get out, don't make more trouble..."
Shen Hanyu felt a bit embarrassed, but still obediently walked out.
Don't mention it, in that instant just now, he really felt Shui Bing'er was a bit like the tigress from his previous life, and an enhanced version at that.
...
In the courtyard.
Shen Liuyu and Shui Yue'er were chatting enthusiastically with Dugu Bo. The three's laughter made it impossible to tell how things had been shortly before; it was just like how granddaughters should be with their grandfather, with no sense of incongruity at all.
Shen Hanyu approached and listened; wasn't Shen Liuyu vividly describing parts of his own experiences?
If one were to say who knew the most of Shen Hanyu's secrets here, it would definitely be Shen Liuyu, and she was also the person Shen Hanyu trusted the most.
Dugu Bo leaned back in his chair, while Shui Ningbing stood properly to the side, but the gossip in her eyes couldn't be hidden, no matter what.
Shen Hanyu just glanced roughly, then decisively chose to leave. He really couldn't fit into this kind of topic.
...
After a pleasant dinner, Shen Hanyu's opinion of Shui Bing'er's cooking skills reached a new high.
Braised bear paws as the main dish satisfied everyone's appetite, and the other ingredients were all rare treasures Shen Hanyu had collected over the years. The cheapest ingredient was probably century-level Blue Silver Grass; a single meal like this would probably be enough for an ordinary family to live worry-free for several years.
...
After dinner.
Dugu Bo and Shen Hanyu sat leisurely in the courtyard, sipping tea.
Dugu Bo said with some emotion:
"You kid really knows how to enjoy life. None of the people around you is ordinary. That dean of Tianshui Academy isn't very old, yet her strength is already extremely impressive, and she even has the potential to break through to Title Douluo."
"Those three girls are even more monstrous one after another, especially the one called Shui Bing'er. The intensity of the ice attribute this old man sensed from her is second only to yours. She's not old yet, and already has three rings in cultivation. Your little sister too, clearly a few years younger than Yanyan, yet her cultivation far surpasses Yanyan's..."
