Douluo Continent: Starting in drag, becoming Empress Qian Renxue

Chapter 31 Li Yu's Irresistible Charm: He's at Your Fingertips

"This is truly a rare sight in the world!"

Dugu Bo looked at Li Yu with great emotion.

He has never seen another person with such talent as Li Yu.

"My sister is amazing!"

Dugu Yan's cheeks were flushed, and it was unclear what she was saying.

"It's alright, it's alright."

Li Yu chuckled and readily accepted the praise from the grandfather and grandson.

At this moment, Dugu Yan released Dugu Bo's arm and naturally walked to Li Yu's side, taking his arm instead.

Her soft, warm body seemed to want to cling to Li Yu.

Li Yu suddenly had a sudden realization, but he didn't show it on his face.

Dugu Bo is here, so he can't let his behavior, even though it's under the influence of the 'cross-dressing system' and his actions are actually in line with a female role, slip up and reveal any flaws.

But he remained cautious.

Therefore, he seemed quite natural in relying on Dugu Yan.

"..."

Dugu Bo's lips twitched, and his gaze toward Li Yu was full of resentment.

Yeah!

You vixen, now you're even trying to steal my granddaughter away!

What am I going to do? I really want to have a grandson!

Sigh. What a wonderful place for Tianheng to settle down, it seems like it's going to fall through now.

Dugu Bo had a faint melancholy about him.

He was naturally aware of the relationship between Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng.

He knew Yu Tianheng's background and had secretly investigated his character, and had even secretly warned him not to do anything out of line.

That's why I pretended not to know.

But now.

"I hope I'm just overthinking it," Dugu Bo muttered to himself.

"grandfather!"

"Huh?" Dugu Bo was startled, then glared at him: "What are you doing, a young lady, making such a racket!"

Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue. "Sister Yu is talking to you, what are you daydreaming about!"

"Ah, this... I just had an epiphany."

Dugu Bo was somewhat embarrassed and quickly looked at Li Yu: "What did Miss Li Yu just say?"

Li Yu chuckled and repeated, "I just said that Your Majesty's cultivation is profound, and the poison in your body has been accumulating for too long and too deeply. With my current cultivation, it's probably impossible for me to help you resolve it in a short time."

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Dugu Yan: "When I was detoxifying Yan Yan, I already sensed the difficulty involved. Your cultivation surpasses Yan Yan's by hundreds or thousands of times, so the difficulty is self-evident!"

"Fortunately, I've already dealt with the invading poison in Yan Yan's body!"

"This proves my method is effective. Given the speed at which my cultivation is improving, I should be able to resolve your poisoning in no time!"

"However, you'll need to be patient for a while during this process."

Dugu Bo nodded upon hearing this.

The poison that had been afflicting Dugu Yan's body had been resolved. As a titled Douluo who had long been afflicted by the path of poison, he naturally sensed it as soon as he saw Dugu Yan.

Hearing Li Yu say this, he naturally agreed.

However, he was still slightly disappointed when he heard Li Yu say that the problem couldn't be solved in a short time.

Fortunately, there is hope for the future!

Moreover, Li Yu was right; with his talent, he would be able to grow up in no time!

At that time, all the problems will naturally be solved.

Of course, after the last "detoxification," he also needs time to recuperate.

If Li Yu hadn't caused this commotion, he wouldn't have come out of seclusion.

After this matter is over, he will have to go back to seclusion for a while!

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo said sincerely, "I have endured this kind of pain for countless years, so waiting a little longer is not a big problem."

He paused, then continued, "Furthermore, Miss Li Yu, your ability to detoxify Yanyan is already an immense debt of gratitude to me!"

"Even if you ultimately cannot 'cure' me, you can take anything within the secret realm at will!"

"If you encounter any trouble in the future, just let me know. Although I, Dugu Bo, don't have many friends, I still have some influence!"

Dugu Bo stroked his beard and said his last words with great pride.

Li Yu naturally agreed with this statement.

How could the prestige of a Title Douluo be anything but significant?

As for the immortal herbs inside the Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, he naturally wouldn't let them go either.

However, he has already consumed three of the immortal herbs, and will keep the rest for later use when the time is right!

As for the younger sister, she got there first.

He doesn't have that worry now.

It should be noted that Xiao Sanzi was able to gain Dugu Bo's favor mainly because he saw through Dugu Bo's illness and thus cured him of the poison.

But now, he has resolved the "external manifestations" of Dugu Bo's illness.

Let's not even talk about whether Xiao Sanzi can still see it, or whether he can deduce it through his previous fight with Dugu Yan and his martial soul.

Even if we figure it out, what's the use?

He has already solved this problem for Dugu Yan, and it's only a matter of time before he solves it for Dugu Bo as well.

As a titled Douluo, will Dugu Bo choose a path that can clearly solve the problem, or an unfamiliar path that requires taking a gamble?

Even a fool would choose this option.

Therefore, Li Yu was not worried at all, and even looked forward to his third son meeting Dugu Bo.

Thinking of this, Li Yu smiled and shook his head, not dwelling on it any further.

He looked at Dugu Bo and said, "It would be best if Your Majesty could understand!"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "Now that things are settled here, I'll head back to Tiandou. I haven't seen my husband for many days; I'm sure he's worried!"

"My husband~"

Dugu Yan stuck out her tongue in a sarcastic tone, seemingly quite dissatisfied.

Li Yu glared and reached out to flick Dugu Yan's forehead.

"Hey, what are you doing!"

Dugu Yan winced in pain, her purple eyes glaring at Li Yu.

"Serves you right for being so cheeky!"

Li Yu, however, ignored the fact that Dugu Bo was watching from the sidelines and was determined to take action without any leniency.

"..."

Dugu Bo remained silent.

The more he watched Dugu Yan's behavior, the more suspicious he felt!

Something's definitely not right!

But naturally, he wouldn't make these words clear; he would simply pretend he hadn't seen them.

"Please make yourself at home, Miss Li Yu. My secret place is quite nice; you're welcome to come back anytime!"

Dugu Bo nodded, then frowned slightly and said to Dugu Yan, "Prince Xuexing contacted me before, but I don't know what it was about."

He then shook his head. "This good-for-nothing probably doesn't have anything important to do, unless..."

At this point, Dugu Bo seemed to realize that Li Yu was present, and stopped talking.

He then said very simply, "You will be returning with Miss Li Yu on this trip. If you happen to meet her, tell her I have important business to attend to."

He paused for a moment, then said, "Fine, just make up an excuse yourself!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo smiled at Li Yu again, and then disappeared from the spot.

"..."

Li Yu remained silent.

He hadn't expected Dugu Bo to have this side to him; it seemed he also hated going to work.

Dugu Yan seemed unfazed, as if she had done such things many times before.

"Purple-purple-black!"

Once Dugu Bo left, Dugu Yan could no longer control her temper.

Shaking Li Yu's hand, she said sweetly, "Sister, you're so amazing! How did you do it? Do you have a secret? Teach me!"

"Please, please! I love you the most!"

Li Yu felt overwhelmed and quickly withdrew his soul ring, feigning confusion as he asked, "What? What did you say? Sister, I don't understand!"

"Oh? You want to get back to the academy quickly? Then let's go!"

After saying that, he lifted his foot and walked forward.

Caught off guard, Dugu Yan was pulled forward and almost fell.

Fortunately, he was already a three-ring Soul Master, so his reaction speed was extremely fast.

She steadied herself, staring at Li Yu's retreating figure with a hint of resentment, then chuckled and quickly caught up, taking his arm again.

……

……

Tian Dou City.

Inside a small tavern.

"The Shrek Academy group really came to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy! I heard it was Teacher Qin Ming who introduced them!"

"Is Teacher Qin Ming going to make us Team Two?"

"Damn it, after the battle at the Soto Grand Arena, I heard that Teacher Qin Ming is also a student from Shrek Academy! What does he take us for?"

"They deliberately brought us to Soto City, wasn't it just to give those guys a chance to shine, so they could replace us now!"

"Who says otherwise? He's really got a good plan. Maybe he already told those Shrek students all our information before we even fought last time!"

"..."

The group drank and made a lot of noise, clearly all of them unhappy.

These individuals were well-known throughout the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

They are members of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's seed team.

The three who were just cursing were Graphite, Stone Mill, and Oslo.

Yu Tianheng and Ye Lingling were much calmer, but their expressions were still not good.

The other two members are Vice Captain Dugu Yan and Yu Feng, who possesses the [Wind Chime Bird] martial soul.

However, neither of them were there.

"Stop cursing! Teacher Qin Ming isn't that kind of person!"

Ye Lingling finally couldn't help but interrupt the three of them.

The three of them fell silent for a moment, then pursed their lips.

Qin Ming had been with them for a long time, so they naturally understood what kind of person he was.

However, ever since they lost to the Shrek Seven Devils at the Soto Arena more than two months ago, they have been holding their breath.

Hearing that a group from Shrek Academy had come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, he naturally felt somewhat worried.

Then, fueled by the alcohol, he started rambling on and on.

However, most of these comments were just venting, and no one really believed that the last time they lost to the Shrek Seven Devils, it was because Qin Ming had leaked their information in advance.

Therefore, after Ye Lingling spoke, the three of them gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, Yu Tianheng, the team leader, was somewhat distracted.

"Uncle, is this what you meant by us seeing each other again soon?"

"So, you really want the Shrek Seven Devils—no, you want Tang San—to replace us?"

"I have put aside my pride as you said, but is that right?"

Because of Yu Xiaogang's previous words, Yu Tianheng, who should have been the most resilient and the one to speak up and comfort everyone, was the one most deeply affected.

"team leader!"

Ye Lingling then looked at Yu Tianheng and said, "We might be able to find out some information about Yanzi's identity. Should we send Yanzi?"

As teammates, they knew something about Dugu Yan's identity.

Although Ye Lingling had just reassured Shi Mo and the other two, she was still somewhat worried and wanted to know the specifics of the situation.

The relationship between Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng goes without saying, so she came up with this plan.

Upon hearing this, Yu Tianheng finally turned around. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Yanyan went home because of something. I haven't seen her for several days."

He paused, then frowned slightly: "But based on past experience, she should have been back long ago. This time she's been so long; something must have happened!"

"But it's alright. I've had Yu Feng guard the city gate whenever he has free time these past few days. If Yan Yan returns, Yu Feng will..."

squeak~

Before Yu Tianheng could finish speaking, the door to the private room was suddenly pushed open.

"Captain, the vice-captain is back!"

Yu Feng hurriedly spoke.

Everyone's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and they looked behind Yu Feng.

Then Dugu Yan walked in with a woman wearing a veil.

Everyone was slightly taken aback, and before they could ask any questions, Dugu Yan had already begun to introduce herself.

"Sister Yu, these are members of our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy's seed team!"

"Yu Feng needs no introduction. These two burly men are Shi Mo and Shi Mo, both possessing the [Black Tortoise] Martial Soul, and are level 38 and 37 respectively, defensive-type Battle Soul Masters!"

"This skinny guy is called Oslo, his martial soul is [Ghost Leopard], and he is a level 36 agility-attack type battle soul master."

"This beautiful young lady is named Ye Lingling. Her martial soul is the Nine-Hearted Begonia, a top-tier support-type martial soul, and she's a level 35 weapon spirit master!"

Everyone was stunned as they listened to Dugu Yan's introduction.

Not

Who brings strangers here and introduces us in such detail first?!

Their underwear is almost being pulled off!

However, considering Dugu Yan's identity, they all smiled in agreement, though they were clearly somewhat displeased.

"Yanyan, who is this?"

Yu Tianheng stood up and approached Dugu Yan, while looking at Li Yu, who was being intimately linked arm-in-arm with Dugu Yan, with some confusion.

Although the other party was a woman, he inexplicably felt a sense of crisis.

As Dugu Yan watched Yu Tianheng approach, she instinctively hid behind Li Yu, a feeling of being caught cheating suddenly rising in her heart.

Yu Tianheng witnessed this scene and was immediately consumed by jealousy.

Dugu Yan also realized that her mindset was wrong. Li Yu is her older sister, so what's wrong with us being a little closer?

She immediately straightened her back and introduced herself to Yu Tianheng: "This is my sister Li Yu!"

She paused, seemingly feeling that simply calling her "sister" wasn't enough to define Li Yu's status, and continued, "She's also my grandfather's doctor, and even more so..."

At this point, Dugu Yan stopped again.

She originally meant to say that Li Yu was the Crown Princess of Xue Qinghe, the current Crown Prince of Tiandou.

But when the words reached his lips, he inexplicably didn't want to reveal his identity, so he swallowed them back.

However, her statement "my grandfather's doctor" immediately made everyone serious.

doctor!

Such a powerful Soul Master needs a doctor?

They were puzzled, but they immediately realized the extraordinary identity of the woman whom Dugu Yan called Sister Li Yu.

Then everyone exchanged glances and said in unison, "Hello, Sister Yu!"

Dugu Yanjian smiled with great satisfaction, and even raised an eyebrow at Li Yu, looking quite smug.

Li Yu, however, found it amusing.

What are you doing!

Do kids play house and recognize each other as older brothers?

But naturally he wouldn't say that out loud.

He smiled slightly and said softly, "Hello!"

This was originally just a simple polite remark, but

With the blessing of the "cross-dressing system", the allure is fully revealed, and the simple words seem to be laced with a bewitching potion.

Apart from Dugu Yan, who had spent a lot of time with Li Yu, only Ye Lingling was in relatively good condition. The rest of them were all blushing and staring intently at Li Yu.

It was as if one could see Li Yu's face even through the veil.

Seeing this, Li Yu also realized that things were not going well.

He wore a veil to prevent this situation from happening again.

He understood all too well the a hundredfold increase in charm from the "cross-dressing system"!

Those with higher cultivation levels are alright, but the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's seed team in front of us are all Soul Masters below the fourth ring, how could they possibly resist!

So he offered, "Yanyan, you talk to your teammates first, I'll wait for you outside."

Dugu Yan nodded; she had also noticed that something was off with her team members.

However, her gaze remained fixed on Yu Tianheng, whose eyes followed Li Yu even after he left.

Anger suddenly arose.
