Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 56, The Son-in-Law

The old man chuckled and approached Meng Bei step by step. Xiao Wu was so frightened that she hid in Meng Bei's arms.

Meng Bei himself dared not be careless at this moment. The other party could see Xiao Wu's identity at a glance, and thus concluded that she was most likely a Title Douluo.

He noticed that the old man's pupils were green, and that his hair was green hidden under his gray robe, and Meng Bei already had a slight guess in his mind.

At that moment, Tang Hao was hiding in the shadows, ready to deliver a fatal blow. As soon as the old man got a little closer, Meng Bei gave the order, and Tang Hao would unleash a powerful attack with the Great Sumeru Hammer, ensuring that the old man would never return.

The old man, completely unaware of the approaching danger, continued to move closer to Meng Bei. Meng Bei had one hand behind his back, about to make a gesture to attack, when suddenly, the old man's hoarse voice spoke:

"Excellent, excellent! Consider this Soft-Boned Rabbit your betrothal gift for marrying into my Dugu family!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei abruptly stopped in his tracks.

Meng Bei calmed himself down and abandoned his plan. He looked at Dugu Bo and asked, knowing the answer already:

"Could this senior be the Poison Douluo, the Venerable Dugu?"

Dugu Bo laughed:

"That is indeed me, but from now on you will have to call me Grandfather-in-law!"

With that, Dugu Bo grabbed Meng Bei and Xiao Wu by the collar and flew away with them.

Meng Bei frowned, but did not resist. At the same time, he gestured for Tang Hao behind him to follow.

Dugu Bo probably didn't know that if he hadn't said "married into the family...father-in-law..." quickly, he would have been smashed to pieces by the Great Sumeru Hammer, and his soul bone "Medusa's Gaze" would have fallen out.

And so, with the Title Douluo flying at top speed, it wasn't long before the four of them flew from Heaven Dou City to Sunset Forest.

Dugu Bo flew directly to the center of Sunset Forest, plunging into the two mountains and passing through the surrounding mist, soon arriving at a brand new villa.

Looking down at the two mountain peaks on either side, one is scorching hot like fire, and the other is cold and aloof like ice. Only the place where Mengbei is located is between the two mountains, where the climate is balanced, which is why a separate courtyard can be built.

Not far away, there was a deep valley. Meng Bei estimated that it was most likely the legendary Yin-Yang Well of Ice and Fire, and the immortal herbs contained there would be the foundation for the rise of the Shrek Seven Devils in the future.

Looking at the Shrek Seven Devils now, apart from Tang San's twin martial souls, the talents of the others are not particularly strong. They may be slightly stronger than ordinary geniuses, but definitely not by much.

Taking Ma Hongjun as an example, before consuming the immortal herb, Meng Bei bet that Ma Hongjun's talent was 100% inferior to that of the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation.

It can be said that it was the Immortal Herb that made Ma Hongjun and the Shrek Seven Devils what they are today.

Now, it seems that the plot has changed because of his own actions. Tang San did not come to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, but he himself did. Will the Shrek Seven Devils still achieve the same success as in the original story?

Just then, Dugu Bo landed from the sky and put Meng Bei down.

"Will you walk by yourself, or should I lead you?"

Dugu Bo asked with a hint of threat.

Seeing this, Meng Bei did not resist and cooperated, saying:

"Senior Poison Douluo, I'll go by myself."

Dugu Bo nodded in satisfaction and strode forward.

Meng Bei also followed, leading the trembling Xiao Wu.

As they walked, Dugu Bo repeatedly instructed Meng Bei:

"When you see Yanyan later, don't tell her what I said before. She's too stubborn and probably won't accept my arrangements easily."

Upon hearing this, Meng Bei voiced his doubts.

"If that's the case, why insist on doing this so stubbornly, senior? You should know that I am also engaged, and it's with..."

Dugu Bo interrupted:

"Hmph, it's with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, isn't it?"

As he spoke, Dugu Bo turned around, looking at Meng Bei with a cold smile:

"Accept your fate, kid. I've already investigated you thoroughly. Why do you think I went to all that trouble to trick you into coming out?"

"Now that you're on my territory, even if Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo come together, I have ways to deal with them. So give up on that idea!"

Having said that, Poison Douluo turned around and continued forward, warning:

"Remember what I just said. If you cooperate obediently, I'll allow you to temporarily raise this Soft Bone Rabbit until you or Yan Yan reach level 90 before killing it. Otherwise, I'll kill it and take its bones right now!"

Having said that, Poison Douluo, unafraid that Meng Bei would escape, walked forward alone.

Dugu Bo was extremely confident. This valley was full of deadly traps, so where could Meng Bei escape to?

Seeing this, Meng Bei obediently followed behind with Xiao Wu.

In the shadows, Tang Hao followed closely behind.

Soon, Meng Bei followed Dugu Bo into the villa in the valley. It was like a small manor. Although it did not cover a large area, it had all the necessary facilities and buildings, and was no different from a noble manor outside.

Inside the manor, a purple-haired girl was punching and kicking a dummy, seemingly training her close-combat skills.

The girl quickly spotted Dugu Bo and his group, and happily ran over.

"grandfather!"

Dugu Yan ran happily to Dugu Bo.

"Yan Yan!"

Dugu Bo gently patted Dugu Yan's head.

Dugu Yan pushed Dugu Bo's hand away with some resistance, pouting, "Alright, Grandpa, I'm an adult now, stop treating me like a child!"

As they were talking, suddenly, Dugu Yan saw Meng Bei and Xiao Wu following behind Dugu Bo.

Having interacted with the two before, Dugu Yan knew them well, especially Meng Bei, and was pleasantly surprised to see them again.

"Oh, Meng Bei, and Xiao Wu, what brings you here?"

"Hey, what's wrong with Xiao Wu? She seems a bit off."

Dugu Yan asked in confusion.

Xiao Wu huddled in Meng Bei's arms, looking extremely timid.

Meng Bei held Xiao Wu tightly, not letting go, and answered with ease:

"Sister Yanzi, I was invited here by Senior Poison Douluo. Xiaowu is still a little unaccustomed to the environment here, but she should be fine in a little while."

"I see."

Dugu Yan nodded.

Then, with a hint of reproach, she looked at Dugu Bo and said in a sarcastic tone:

"It's all Grandpa's fault. He could stay in the city, but he insisted on living in this weird place. Not only is it inconvenient and troublesome for people, but now it's affecting our guests. Sigh, there's just no way to deal with you."
