"Big brother would never do that, right, big brother~?"
Qian Renxue shook Lin Feng's arm, speaking in a coquettish tone.
Lin Feng shivered at her words, while the Chrysanthemum Douluo beside him also looked a bit strange.
"No, no, of course big brother wouldn't."
Dugu Bo smirked:
"Little girl, if you want your big brother to still dote on you even after he gets a wife, you better help him pick a good one.
Look over there, my granddaughter Yan Yan is a great choice. She's around your age, so you two would get along.
If she became your big brother's girlfriend, she'd definitely treat you well."
Qian Renxue glanced at Dugu Bo, her eyes narrowing slightly as she smiled:
"Is that so? Big brother~?"
Lin Feng rubbed his forehead:
"Grandpa Dugu, let's stop joking around and take us there."
Dugu Bo shrugged and tossed out a jade bottle.
"There are ten antidote pills inside, enough for you to use. Go on your own. I still need to spend time with Yan Yan."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo was surprised. "Old Poison, you trust us that much?"
Dugu Bo scoffed:
"What, you think I'm like you?
Holding a grudge over a single insult for over a decade?
If Xiao Feng were the type to steal, then I must be blind."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo coughed awkwardly. Maybe he was being a bit unreasonable?
Lin Feng clasped his fists and bowed:
"Thank you, Grandpa Dugu."
"Enough, enough. It's our family who should be thanking you. If it weren't for you, who knows when we would have solved the issue with our martial souls."
Dugu Bo sighed, then suddenly asked:
"Kid, have you really not considered marrying Yan Yan when she grows up?
I remember the Grand Worship isn't that old-fashioned, right? If not as a main wife, she could be a concubine."
Lin Feng retorted:
"What kind of grandfather are you, pushing your granddaughter to be someone's concubine?"
"Haha, even if it's called a concubine, it's still a wife. As long as you don't play favorites and treat her sincerely, Yan Yan won't lose out."
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, smiling broadly.
"Stop, stop. Let's just go, alright?"
"Alright, go ahead. If you change your mind later, let me know."
On the way to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, Qian Renxue pinched Lin Feng:
"You really have a way with people, don't you? You want both the older and the younger ones?"
"What are you talking about... Dugu Bo is the one pushing it. He's the one insisting."
"And you just go along with it?"
Lin Feng's face darkened:
"What did I agree to? I firmly refused, but he just keeps bringing it up."
Qian Renxue smiled with interest:
"Big brother~ Should I find you another girlfriend?"
Hearing her familiar tone, Lin Feng felt a bit strange, thinking to himself that she had already found him one.
"No need, I'll find one myself."
"Hmph."
The three arrived at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well under Lin Feng's guidance. The Chrysanthemum Douluo's eyes widened in amazement.
"The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! Such a treasure trove really exists. It truly lives up to its reputation.
Top-grade, mid-grade, top-grade, top-grade, top-grade..."
He stared dumbfounded at the surrounding herbs. The feeling of seeing such treasures but not being able to take them was unbearable.
The scene before him and the emotions in his heart were driving him crazy.
"Young master!"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo turned around, his eyes blazing:
"Please make sure the Grand Worship treats Dugu Bo well and secures this place as soon as possible!
The quality of these herbs could easily produce dozens of high-level Soul Sages or above!"
Qian Renxue was shocked and looked around. "That exaggerated?"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo nodded deeply:
"Indeed. Even though most of these are poisonous, the remaining herbs are of top-grade quality.
The medicinal power of these herbs is enough to improve the potential of ordinary soul masters.
In my opinion, the total number of top-grade herbs in the entire Douluo Continent probably doesn't even come close to what's here!"
Lin Feng, however, was thinking about the place where the Silver Dragon King resided. It seemed comparable to this.
That enormous piece of Life Gold—Lin Feng had been eyeing it for a long time.
Qian Renxue suppressed her astonishment and nudged Lin Feng's shoulder:
"Such a big deal, why didn't you mention it earlier?"
"...It's the same. Dugu Bo is already on our ship. There's no way he can escape now.
If he really tries to leave the Spirit Hall in three years, he'll probably have to beg us not to let him go."
Qian Renxue chuckled. "You're so mean."
"Not really, not really."
Lin Feng grinned.
The Chrysanthemum Douluo looked at the two of them. His instincts told him they were both scheming, but something felt off.
"Xiao Feng, where are the two immortal-grade herbs we need to take?"
Lin Feng pointed to the center of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"They're right there."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo followed his gaze and was shocked once again:
"Of course, of course. With the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well here, it's natural that these companion immortal-grade herbs would exist.
Young master, congratulations on obtaining these. From now on, you'll be immune to fire and water, and no evil will touch you."
Qian Renxue smiled brightly.
"It's all thanks to Xiao Feng. I love you so much."
"Mwah."
The Chrysanthemum Douluo looked up at a 45-degree angle, pretending not to see anything. After all, the Grand Worship wasn't here to witness it, so why should he be so diligent?
As long as no lives were at risk—or rather, as long as no lives were being risked—he could turn a blind eye.
Lin Feng ruffled Qian Renxue's hair and walked toward the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. A massive, specially designed black tent was set up around it, with a small opening at the top to release the mist.
Qian Renxue asked curiously:
"Xiao Feng, what are you doing?"
The Chrysanthemum Douluo pondered:
"Legend has it that the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well contains the extreme forces of yin and yang, ice and fire. Under such power, clothing likely won't survive.
You two carry on. I'll go outside and keep watch for any soul beasts."
In the next moment, the Chrysanthemum Douluo chuckled and disappeared.
"Huh?..."
Qian Renxue's face turned visibly red, her beautiful eyes filled with playful anger.
"Xiao Feng, you've really become naughty."
"Not at all. This is unavoidable when absorbing these two immortal-grade herbs. Didn't I prepare the tent for you?
Don't worry, once you enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, I'll go outside. I won't peek."
Seeing how serious he was, Qian Renxue felt an unexpected pang of disappointment.
"Alright then, but don't go too far."
"Of course."
The two gradually entered the range of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. When they felt the energy surging, Qian Renxue quickly activated her soul power, gritted her teeth, and stepped forward.
Following Lin Feng's instructions, she plucked the two immortal-grade herbs, consumed them simultaneously, and then resolutely jumped into the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Lin Feng couldn't tell if it was his imagination, but he felt like Qian Renxue's gaze as she jumped in was a bit strange, almost as if it carried a hint of anticipation?
He grinned and sat down nearby to meditate.
"Ah—"
Qian Renxue let out a pained cry as her clothes were instantly disintegrated by the terrifying energy of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
Her stunning figure was now exposed in the spring water.
Lin Feng suppressed his anxiety and, upon hearing Qian Renxue's groans of pain gradually subside, felt relieved.
He quietly waited for Qian Renxue to complete the refinement of her golden body.
