Humble, this Dai Mubai was simply too humble!
To reach Rank 50 and become a Soul King at just over sixteen years old was a feat worthy of awe, yet here he was, claiming it was "just luck"!
As the two released their Martial Souls, the glow from their soul rings and the special effects combined with the moonlight to brighten the entire clearing.
"Dai Shao, enough nonsense! Here comes big sister!"
Dugu Yan's gaze sharpened, her pupils turning into vertical slits. Facing a Soul King like Dai Mubai, she dared not be careless.
The moment she stepped forward with her right foot—Dai Mubai's figure vanished!
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened, her mind in turmoil.
She was nearly at the Soul King level herself, yet she couldn't even see Dai Mubai's movements. His speed was terrifying!
In the next instant, Dugu Yan's body tilted backward. When she realized what had happened, her face turned red, and she trembled slightly.
She discovered that she was now in Dai Mubai's embrace!
Fast, too fast!
Looking at the blushing Dugu Yan in his arms, Dai Mubai's expression remained unchanged.
Although Dugu Yan's Martial Soul had evolved, her waist was still as soft as ever. Out of curiosity, while holding her with one hand, Dai Mubai reached out with the other to touch the horn on Dugu Yan's forehead.
The horn looked smooth and delicate—small yet striking.
The moment Dai Mubai's hand touched it—
"Ahh~"
Dugu Yan let out a soft, shy sound.
Dai Mubai realized that the girl in his arms had become even softer, her body almost melting as her blush deepened.
"Hiss, so this really is a steering wheel!"
Dai Mubai took a deep breath in surprise.
If something like this were to happen during more "intimate" moments...
Just the thought made Dai Mubai's expression shift.
"Uh?"
Dugu Yan squirmed slightly and furrowed her brows as she noticed something unusual behind her.
Her face turned even redder, mixed with a hint of awkwardness. Yet, she didn't dare move further, nor did she say anything. Instead, she simply leaned her head against Dai Mubai's chest.
The onlookers: "???"
What was going on? What started as a proper Soul Duel had suddenly turned into... something else?
Yu Tianheng's eyes turned red with anger!
At first, he thought Dugu Yan had been subdued by Dai Mubai and couldn't move.
But as time passed, he realized something wasn't right!
They've been holding each other for five minutes now, haven't they? And they're still at it?!
"Yan! Dai Mubai! What exactly are you doing?!"
Yu Tianheng couldn't hold back anymore and charged forward, shouting angrily.
Yufeng and Oslo exchanged a glance and slowly followed behind Yu Tianheng.
Dai Mubai had noticed Yu Tianheng and the others long ago but didn't pay them any mind.
When Yu Tianheng rushed over, Dai Mubai instinctively loosened his grip, but to his surprise, Dugu Yan remained leaning against him, showing no intention of getting up.
"???"
Seeing this, Dai Mubai instantly understood Dugu Yan's intentions. The hand on her waist tightened slightly.
"We're…"
"Ahh~"
Before she could finish, Dugu Yan let out another soft sound. It was as if she had been hit by some skill like Weakness or Withering, leaving her completely powerless as she nestled further into Dai Mubai's arms.
She had had enough of Yu Tianheng. Despite rejecting his pursuit long ago, he still refused to give up, acting as though she was already his girlfriend.
The more persistent Yu Tianheng was, the more Dugu Yan despised him.
Were it not for his status as the grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's master, Yu Yuanzhen, she would have already severed all ties with him.
While what happened with Dai Mubai today might be considered an "accident," she felt there was no way out. He had figuratively "held her at gunpoint," and now he would have to take responsibility!
Yu Tianheng: "???"
His mind was full of question marks, and his face turned darker than the bottom of a pot!
"You—you—you filthy pair of lovers!"
Yu Tianheng finally couldn't hold back and cursed out loud. The next second, a mouthful of blood spurted from his lips, and his body flew backward like a broken kite.
Dai Mubai, Dugu Yan: "???"
They hadn't even attacked! What was wrong with Yu Tianheng?
The next moment, an elderly figure in emerald green armor with gray-white hair slowly walked out.
"Grandfather?"
"Dugu Bo?!"
Dugu Bo didn't even glance at Dai Mubai and Dugu Yan. Instead, he strode toward Yu Tianheng, who lay on the ground.
A pressure imperceptible to Dai Mubai and Dugu Yan radiated from Dugu Bo's body, rendering Yu Tianheng completely immobile.
"Yu Tianheng, you called them a pair of filthy lovers. Does that not mean you're calling me the same?"
Dugu Bo tilted his head slightly, his eyelids drooping as he cast a glance toward Yu Tianheng.
At this moment, Yu Tianheng couldn't care about his injuries. Trembling all over, he wanted to say something to explain, but under Dugu Bo's soul power pressure, he couldn't make a sound.
This was a Title Douluo!
Offending a Title Douluo—even as Yu Yuanzhen's grandson—could easily spell his death!
"Yu Tianheng, this is your only warning. Stop pursuing Yan and spreading false rumors!"
"If this happens again, I'll kill you!"
As Dugu Bo's words fell, the pressure around him dissipated. He gave Dai Mubai and Dugu Yan a meaningful look, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. Then, in a flash, he disappeared.
Dai Mubai, Dugu Yan: "…"
The two of them were momentarily stunned. What did Dugu Bo mean by this?
After a moment, they realized—Dugu Bo (Grandfather) had just given his approval for the two of them to be together?!
Dai Mubai was dumbfounded. Good heavens, Dugu Bo was an odd one!
This was their first time meeting, and he had already approved of him?
What Dai Mubai didn't know was that Dugu Bo's approval wasn't just because of his strength or looks.
The most crucial factor was Dugu Yan's attitude!
Dugu Yan's affectionate gaze toward Dai Mubai was clear for Dugu Bo to see. How could he possibly stand in her way?
The happiness of his granddaughter came first. As for the other party's strength? Dugu Bo didn't care much—although if they were strong, he would be even more satisfied.
At this moment, Dai Mubai and Dugu Yan were still holding each other. Meanwhile, Ye Lingling, Oslo, and Yufeng were already numb with shock!
Dugu Bo's "advice" to Yu Tianheng had been simple and brutal, but undoubtedly effective!
Yufeng, for his part, was now worried. Would Yu Tianheng kill him to silence him?
Did he know too much? If…
Ye Lingling glanced at Dai Mubai and Dugu Yan, who were still in an embrace. She felt inexplicably uncomfortable—unable to describe the strange emotion gnawing at her heart.
"Yan…"
Ye Lingling's soft voice finally brought Dai Mubai and Dugu Yan back to their senses.
The two quickly separated, the atmosphere turning a little awkward.
After a moment, Dai Mubai broke the silence.
"Yan, would you like to come to our Shrek Academy…"
