She turned her head shakily and looked at him intently.
"Tell me the truth, did your parents really agree to that so-called engagement?"
"Yanyan!" Dugu Bo was surprised that she would ask that question, and remained silent for a moment.
He finally spoke, looking directly into Dugu Yan's eyes without flinching, his voice slightly hoarse.
"That's right! You'er and her husband have already agreed to this marriage!"
After saying that, Dugu Bo suddenly felt a heavy weight in his heart.
Dugu Yan stared at him blankly for a long time, her green pupils showing no emotion, revealing neither joy nor sorrow.
"Yan Yan understands!" Finally, Dugu Yan slowly nodded.
After saying that, he started to walk towards the wooden house, but he stumbled and almost fell.
Her legs were almost frozen, but luckily Dugu Bo caught her.
"Yanyan! Are you alright?"
"I'm fine!"
While supporting her, Dugu Bo used his soul power to dispel the cold energy from her body.
They strolled slowly to the edge of the wooden house.
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo seemed to have sensed something, and suddenly looked at Ye Qiu's room, letting out another cold snort.
Dugu Yan followed his gaze and saw that the window of Ye Qiu's room was still shaking, as if it had just been closed.
After staring blankly for a few seconds, she lowered her eyes and continued walking towards her room.
In Ye Qiu's room, he was leaning against the wall by the window.
Clearly, he had been looking outside the whole time.
"Phew~" Ye Qiu breathed a sigh of relief and climbed onto the small bed in the room... Since everything was alright, he should get some rest.
Outside, Dugu Bo had already come out of the room.
They were walking step by step toward the cold spring, and as they got closer, a layer of frost formed on their eyebrows.
Looking at the two motionless figures inside, Dugu Bo felt a pang of sadness.
"You'er! It's all my fault! If it weren't for this poison in my body, you wouldn't be like this!"
Dugu Bo spent his entire life dealing with poison, yet in the end, all that cultivation he possessed almost led to the destruction of his family!
Now that Ye Qiu has appeared before him, he is the hope of his family!
"Yanyan, don't blame Grandpa, it's all for your own good!"
He stood there for a long time, until late at night, before finally returning to the wooden house...
……
Ye Qiu stepped out of the wooden house and stretched his body, tilting his head back.
As the morning sun shone down, the mist in the air became particularly noticeable, refracting a shimmering light.
Adjusting his breathing, Ye Qiu slowly walked over to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in the distance.
Today, he plans to take the Eight-Starred Ice Grass and the Fiery Apricot Delight.
Let's deal with the antidote for Dugu Bo and his grandson first!
Now is a good time to get used to the surrounding environment, so that nothing unexpected might happen when picking herbs.
The Eight-Cornered Ice Grass grows in the center of the bank of the extremely cold Yin Spring. It is a cold and poisonous delicacy, and one can feel a slight chill even from ten meters away.
It is octagonal in shape, with tiny, sparkling stamens in the center, like ice crystals.
Ye Qiu circulated the Mysterious Heaven Technique within his body as he approached it.
A layer of white frost gradually settled on her long blue hair, and her breath instantly condensed into a solid.
Ye Qiu didn't dare to stay any longer. According to Tang San, if he stayed too long, the cold poison would attack his heart and become incurable.
Ye Qiu stopped in his tracks just as he was about to walk away, and slapped his forehead.
"I must have been sleeping too much."
A six-pointed star appeared in his eyes, and his figure became somewhat ethereal.
"Hehe...that solves the problem! Huh?"
Just as they were about to walk halfway along the shore to see the beautiful, fiery apricot blossoms, they saw two ice coffin-like objects floating in the cold spring.
Ye Qiu easily recognized their faces.
'These must be Senior Dugu's son and daughter-in-law...no wonder Dugu Yan is standing here!'
In the distance, the space next to the wooden house rippled, and Dugu Bo, who had gone out, appeared there.
From afar, they spotted Ye Qiu standing dumbly by the spring and couldn't help but urge him on.
"Hey kid! What are you doing standing so close? Get over here right now!"
He's been guarding this place for so many years, but over there, even he doesn't dare to stay long.
Startled by Dugu Bo's shout, Ye Qiu snapped out of his daze, glanced at the wooden shed again, and then headed towards it.
At this moment, the low table had been replaced and was filled with the food that Dugu Bo had brought back.
"Why are you up so early, senior?"
"Hmph!" Dugu Bo's face turned cold, seemingly still harboring resentment about what happened last night.
"I'm too old to sleep!"
Ye Qiu chuckled twice and pointed towards the spring.
"Speaking of which, senior, who are those two...?"
“That’s right, those are Yan Yan’s parents!” Faced with Ye Qiu’s question, Dugu Bo knew that he had seen everything, so there was no point in hiding it.
Seeing Ye Qiu's curious gaze, Dugu Bo continued to explain.
"Both of them had their lives frozen by a contingency plan left by their benefactor as they lay dying, and they are hoping to see the light of day again in the future!"
As he spoke, Dugu Bo kept his eyes fixed on Ye Qiu, his eyes filled with anticipation.
"I see!"
Ye Qiu pinched his chin, wondering what kind of soul skill this was that could freeze life force.
Thinking back to how Dugu Yan was last night, I might help her if I have the chance in the future...
“Uh~!”
Noticing Dugu Bo's intense gaze, Ye Qiu felt immense pressure and a sense of unease.
"Hmph! Alright, stop standing there like an idiot, go call Yan Yan for dinner!"
Dugu Bo withdrew his gaze and didn't say much, simply sending him away.
"Okay, I got it!"
Ye Qiu responded helplessly.
He walked up to Dugu Yan's door, raised his hand, and was about to knock.
Creak! The wooden door opened.
The woman in front of me, Dugu Yan, seemed to have not slept well. She looked somewhat haggard, with red and swollen eyes, and her purplish-green hair was a bit messy.
She managed a weak smile, her voice muffled.
"Miss Dugu! Breakfast is ready!"
"Hmm!" With difficulty, she lifted her eyelids, glanced at Ye Qiu, then looked away and walked out, avoiding him.
Awkwardly touching his nose, Ye Qiu followed behind.
"Yanyan, come sit down quickly, I bought your favorite dishes."
"You caught a chill last night. After dinner, I'll brew some medicine to warm you up!"
"Well, thank you grandpa!"
Dugu Yan nodded slightly and sat down cross-legged at the table.
Seeing that she had no desire to speak, Dugu Bo looked at Ye Qiu, who had just sat down beside him.
"Hey kid! Can you drink? Want to have a drink with this old man?"
"No, no, I don't drink!"
Ye Qiu waved his hand in refusal; he didn't want to black out again.
"Hmph! He can't even drink alcohol..." Dugu Bo said dejectedly, taking a big gulp.
During this time, the group didn't exchange many words.
The atmosphere fell silent.
