Chapter 63: Are You Disliking Us Grandfather and Granddaughter?!
"How... how did you recognize me..."
Qian Renxue's face was full of astonishment. She believed she hadn't shown any flaws, and the Soul Power attributes of Qian Renxue and Xue Qinghe were completely different. Even so, Chu Chen could recognize her?
"We've known each other for so long, of course I can recognize you."
Qian Renxue was stunned, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Eventually, she asked anyway: "Now that you know I'm from Spirit Hall, then... as we said before, will things between us still be the same?"
For some reason, Qian Renxue's expression actually seemed a bit nervous.
"Am I... afraid of losing him?"
Qian Renxue asked herself in her heart, but on the surface, she still looked at Chu Chen with a faint smile.
Chu Chen laughed.
"Why not? What I care about isn't whether you're the Crown Prince or the Young Lord; the one I consider a close friend is the person who exchanges Martial Soul insights with me. If I were someone who only cared about status, I would have asked you to grant me a title long ago."
Qian Renxue also laughed, and her tone seemed to return to that of Xue Qinghe, except it carried a hint of...
The flavor of playful banter exclusive to the opposite sex.
"Haha, I originally thought I should be the one to find an Opportunity to explain everything to you, but I didn't expect you to discover it yourself."
Her expression held a bit of helplessness, but ultimately she was happy. Her gaze inadvertently fell on Ye Lingling, who was absorbing her Soul Ring nearby, and she suddenly asked: "Is she... your partner?"
"Yes."
Chu Chen said without hesitation.
"Chu Chen, I..."
Qian Renxue's words hadn't finished before she swallowed them back with a smile. She turned away: "Forget it, we still have a long time together. I'm afraid we have to say goodbye today."
"See you again in Heaven Dou City."
Qian Renxue walked toward Porcupinefish Douluo and Snake Lance Douluo, and then the three of them rose into the air, turning into afterimages as they left the area.
Chu Chen also returned to Dugu Bo's side.
He noticed that the Soul Power condensing around Ye Lingling's body was becoming increasingly powerful. After she absorbed the fourth Soul Ring, the Soul Power she had accumulated from previously consuming the Immortal Herb was completely released.
It finally stabilized firmly at Rank 44!
"Whoa, how did Lingling's Soul Power suddenly increase so much?"
Such a rapid rate of improvement left Dugu Yan, who was watching from the side, dumbfounded. Even Dugu Bo couldn't help but sigh that the young people nowadays were upgrading faster and faster.
"I'm afraid in another ten years, you kid will be able to become a Titled Douluo." Dugu Bo looked at Chu Chen with a smile.
Chu Chen: "?"
Are you freaking cursing me?
"If I remember correctly, after you guys go back this time, it shouldn't be long until the Continental Spirit Master Tournament, right? Chu Chen, do you really intend to participate in this competition?"
Dugu Bo's tone suddenly became a bit solemn.
"Now that your brilliance is becoming more prominent, I'm only afraid that Spirit Hall will want to stifle you..."
Dugu Bo was considering many things.
But what he said was not without reason. If Chu Chen's talent could not be used by Spirit Hall, he might be dealt with secretly by them. At that time... he would surely face a life-or-death crisis.
"Old Poison, I won't be afraid."
Flames danced in Chu Chen's eyes as he spoke with a firm tone.
He wanted to become stronger until no one could bully him, until he had the ability to change everything!
"Chu Chen, I succeeded!"
Ye Lingling opened her eyes, her Soul Power completely stabilized.
"Great, let's go. We need to leave here as soon as possible."
Knowing that it wasn't wise to stay long, as soon as Ye Lingling finished absorbing the Soul Ring, Chu Chen activated his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone, which had evolved to the Divine Rank, converting extreme vitality into high-speed flight.
Such extreme flight speed was probably enough to rival some pure agility system Soul Masters. Even Dugu Bo almost couldn't keep up.
"Holy crap, are you an agility-attack system Blue Silver Grass?"
It wasn't until they had completely left the Star Dou Great Forest that everyone finally felt relieved. Encountering Bear Lord this time was indeed a life-or-death crisis.
If the Three-Eyed Golden Lion hadn't appeared, it's likely no one would have escaped. With Bear Lord's cultivation of over four hundred thousand years, even if Dugu Bo and Snake Lance teamed up, their chances of winning were almost zero.
"Old Poison, for the remaining time, I want to take Lingling to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well to cultivate."
Chu Chen suggested.
Now that his strength had significantly improved and his Blue Silver Emperor Soul Bone had evolved to the Divine Rank, perhaps he could go even deeper into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Going deeper might yield an even greater Opportunity."
Regarding Chu Chen's suggestion, Dugu Bo naturally wouldn't refuse: "Just as well, this old man also feels that being alone at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is too boring. Let's just go straight to the Sunset Forest then; no need to take a detour to Heaven Dou City."
"You guys go back first. I'm taking Lingling somewhere."
Chu Chen gave a mysterious smile, and even Ye Lingling didn't know where he was going to take her.
Dugu Bo felt extremely speechless at Chu Chen's mysterious behavior. After rolling his eyes at Chu Chen, he scolded: "Does you kid not know the current situation?"
"Don't forget there's still that ticking time bomb Tang Hao. Without me, I'm afraid you kid would be intercepted and killed by Tang Hao halfway. Wherever you want to go, I'll go with you."
Chu Chen couldn't help but feel a warmth in his heart.
Dugu Bo's sentiment was incredibly heavy. Chu Chen knew better than anyone that Dugu Bo already regarded him as a true brother.
"Then I'll have to trouble you. I plan to take a trip to the Ye family."
Ye Lingling was confused: "Huh?"
"To my house?"
The young girl's heart immediately fell into a panic. Was this the meaning of meeting the parents? Why had Chu Chen never mentioned this to her? Such a sudden decision caught even her off guard.
Dugu Bo: "..."
Dugu Yan: "..."
Dugu Bo directly gave Chu Chen a flick on the forehead.
"So it turns out you're disliking us grandfather and granddaughter for being in the way, right? Let me tell you, this old man loves to join in the fun. I'm also somewhat familiar with the Ye family, so I'll just happen to go as a guest too!"
Looking at Dugu Bo's huffy appearance, both Chu Chen and Ye Lingling couldn't help but laugh.
"Chu Chen, why did you suddenly want to go to... my house..."
Ye Lingling asked in a low voice. She felt this might be a bit too fast... suddenly bringing a member of the opposite sex home, she was afraid her family would be startled.
"I promised Uncle Ye before that I would make Lingling more cheerful. I think I've achieved that for now, so of course I should pay a visit. What do you think?"
Chu Chen answered, explaining the content of his previous conversation with Uncle Ye to Ye Lingling in detail.
"Uncle is really..."
Ye Lingling seemed to complain, but her heart felt warm. No matter how much she threw a tantrum, she knew her family loved her, so how could she truly hold a grudge against them?
The current her was no longer that little girl who would recklessly enter the Star Dou Great Forest just because she was upset.
"You probably don't know where my house is yet. I'll lead you there."
