Douluo's Demon Blade Thousand Blades and the Original Martial Soul

Chapter 18 Catching Up with Dugu Yan

After the Soul Hunting incident, Lin Yizhang intensified his pursuit of Ye Lingling and Dugu Yan.

Although Ye Lingling agreed to become his girlfriend, Dugu Yan has not yet made a clear statement, which can be considered as a tacit agreement.

Lin Yizhang's method of pursuing them was not to shower them with money and treasures, because they were not the kind of people who lacked gold and soul coins.

Of course, it's not that Lin Yizhang didn't spend money on them, but rather that he used indirect methods to win their smiles.

I send each of them a bouquet of flowers every day, and the flowers I send to each of them are not the same variety.

This detail makes them feel that they are not just giving flowers perfunctorily, but sincerely expressing their love.

He alternates between having dinner alone with Ye Lingling, going shopping alone with Dugu Yan, and taking walks with both of them every day.

At the same time, I also give them private space and keep them at a distance, and when I go shopping with any of them, I take them to buy beautiful clothes.

Lin Yizhang specifically researched what women in Douluo Continent wanted most, and then gave them gifts accordingly.

For example, Ye Lingling's cool and aloof temperament is suitable for wearing jewelry such as hairpins and crystal necklaces.

Dugu Yan is more suited to giving novel and unique gifts.

There are lighthearted moments of intimacy when interacting with them, but I will never challenge their sensitive boundaries.

Enjoy the emotional exchange between partners, but don't try to please them...

In short, in the process of pursuing the two, Lin Yizhang applied most of his theoretical knowledge to practice.

Lin Yizhang also truly experienced the sweet taste of being in love.

At the same time, I felt a sense of awe, realizing that this was the life I longed for.

After three months of persistent efforts, Lin Yizhang finally received a direct confirmation from Dugu Yan that she was his boyfriend.

"Yizhang, I've broken through to level 30!" Dugu Yan found Lin Yizhang, who was having breakfast in the cafeteria early in the morning, and said happily.

Lin Yizhang put down his breakfast, stood up, and spun her around several times.

While turning around, he congratulated her, saying, "Congratulations, Yan Yan! You'll soon become a Soul Master. You're amazing!"

After putting Dugu Yan down, Dugu Yan said, "Thank you, Yizhang."

"Why are you thanking me? Did I help you in any way?" Lin Yizhang asked, puzzled.

"I'm very happy that you are more talented than me but are still willing to sincerely congratulate and praise me," Dugu Yan said with a smile.

"Since I've made you so happy, Yan Yan, can you reward me?" Lin Yizhang said.

"So what kind of reward do you want?" Dugu Yan asked with a smile.

"Yan Yan, you definitely know what kind of reward I want. So, Yan Yan, are you willing to give me a reward?" Lin Yizhang said, looking directly into Dugu Yan's eyes.

Dugu Yan lowered her head shyly and whispered, "You'll be my boyfriend from now on."

Hearing the words he had always wanted to hear, Lin Yizhang happily carried Dugu Yan away from the cafeteria, ignoring the envious glances from the other students.

Arriving at a secluded pavilion, Lin Yizhang sat down on a chair and let Dugu Yan sit on his lap.

Lin Yizhang, unable to resist any longer, kissed Dugu Yan's alluring red lips.

After a long while, a "pop" sound was heard as their lips and tongues separated, and both of them were panting heavily.

After their heated exchange, both of them had released their emotions and calmed down.

Lin Yizhang asked, "Yanyan, when are you planning to go soul hunting?"

Dugu Yan replied, "Tomorrow. My grandfather happens to be in Tiandou City today. I'll go back to him later and ask him to accompany me to hunt in Sunset Forest tomorrow."

"Okay, I'll go back with you to see Grandpa later. Anyway, your grandpa has already agreed to our relationship," Lin Yizhang said.

Dugu Yan asked curiously, "Yi Zhang, what did you say to my grandfather before?"

Why did he approve of you? I remember Grandpa wasn't such an easy person to talk to.

"Hehe, Yan Yan, how dare you speak ill of Grandpa? Believe me or not, I'll tell him when I see him later," Lin Yizhang joked.

Dugu Yan playfully punched Lin Yizhang a few times before he said, "I'll tell you when we get to your house. It's not convenient to say it here at the academy."

After agreeing to go back to Dugu Yan's house at noon, the two parted ways.

Lin Yizhang went to Ye Lingling to explain the situation, telling her that he was going to hunt souls with Yan Yan and wouldn't be at the academy.

After cultivating for a whole morning, the appointed time soon arrived, and Lin Yizhang stopped cultivating.

Lin Yizhang's soul power level has now reached level 26.

He cultivated his improved "Cultivation Method 1.0," and at the Great Soul Master stage, he could basically advance one level in about three months.

Dugu Yan and Dugu Bo returned to her home. At that time, Dugu Bo was sleeping on the recliner in the living room, or rather, resting with his eyes closed.

"Yanyan, Xiaozhang, you're back. Come on, let's have lunch." He said, and then sat down at the dining table.

The housekeeper quickly brought out the food.

The meal was very plentiful, consisting entirely of dishes made from the meat of spirit beasts, which greatly whetted the appetites of Lin Yizhang and Dugu Yan.

The three of them quickly finished their meal. After the butler took the bowls and chopsticks away, Dugu Yan happily said to Dugu Bo, "Grandpa, I broke through level 30 today."

"Yanyan, you've already broken through to level 30 so quickly? Not bad, it seems you've been cultivating very hard lately," Dugu Bo said.

In fact, Dugu Bo already knew that Dugu Yan had made a breakthrough when she returned home.

Because Dugu Yan, who had just broken through, could not yet fully contain her soul power.

"Actually, the reason I was able to break through level 30 so quickly is because of the 'Cultivation Method 1.0' that Yi Zhang taught me, which made my cultivation speed faster than before," Dugu Yan said.

Dugu Bo nodded and said, "How about Grandpa takes you to Sunset Forest tomorrow to hunt for your third spirit ring?"

"Yes, Grandpa, that's what I'm planning to do too," Dugu Yan nodded and said.

At this moment, Lin Yizhang, seeing that only the three of them were present, looked at Dugu Bo and said with a serious expression, "Grandpa, won't you and Yanyan suffer from the backlash of your martial spirits?"

"How could that be, Yizhang? Look, Grandpa and I are perfectly fine," Dugu Yan said immediately.

Lin Yizhang simply looked at Dugu Bo without saying a word.

"Why would you ask that?" Dugu Bo asked, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

"Grandpa, I've been with Yan Yan for more than half a year now. Although I don't know anything about medicine, after Yan Yan releases her martial soul, her body emits a faint fishy smell."

Grandpa, even without releasing your martial spirit, you are surrounded by a bloody aura, which is obviously abnormal!

So I guess you must have suffered a backlash from your martial spirit.

The foul odor is caused by the accumulation of toxins from the martial spirit within the soul master's body.

"That's true. Do you regret dating Yanyan now?" Dugu Bo said calmly.

Upon hearing Dugu Bo's admission, Dugu Yan's face immediately turned deathly pale.

She now understands that the reason her friends were poisoned before was because their bodies were poisoned, and that her grandfather didn't say so at the time because he was afraid she wouldn't be able to accept the fact.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I won't be prejudiced against Yanyan because of this."

"Actually, I had some suspicions before, but I still made a martial soul oath in front of you, so please believe me, Grandpa," Lin Yizhang quickly explained.

"Yes, I believe you." Looking into Lin Yizhang's sincere eyes, Dugu Bo believed that he was not lying.
