Chapter 122: Dugu Yan's Request
More than a month later, inside the small wooden cabin,
Dai Yao's hands were firmly pressed against Dugu Yan's jade-like back as he used the blue light to eliminate the toxins inside her body.
In fact, the last time they faced the Titan Giant Ape, he had already cleared all the toxins from her body.
But only a month later, the toxins had accumulated so little that Dugu Yan came to him again, asking for treatment.
Although there was no need for treatment, the two of them tacitly pretended as if it was necessary and went through the motions.
"Little brother, the place you live doesn't match your status. If you were to be with me, mansions and countless wealth would all be yours."
Dugu Yan glanced back at him with her seductive eyes, her red lips slightly parted, letting out an irresistibly tempting line.
Especially her smooth jade-like back, which glowed a pearly white under the moonlight, making her even more alluring.
Dai Yao sneered, withdrew the blue light from her body, and slapped her voluptuous hips, causing waves of reactions.
"You're so flirtatious, but refuse when I try. Also, stop calling me 'little brother'!"
Since Dugu Yan had confessed her feelings for him, her actions in front of Dai Yao had become increasingly bold. From time to time, she would tease him, igniting his desire.
She would start a fire and then refuse to put it out, leaving him helpless in the face of this beautiful temptress.
Whenever she called him "little brother," Dai Yao's face would darken.
In his past life, he was an adult, and with the age he had now, it felt uncomfortable being called "little brother" by a girl much younger than him.
"What? You've been deceiving me all this time!"
Dugu Yan rolled her eyes, and thinking about how she had been deceived for three years, a surge of fury rose within her.
Dai Yao, though, just smiled lightly at her accusation:
"Whoever is stronger gets to call the shots."
With a surprised shout, Dugu Yan was pinned beneath him. Her cheeks flushed, and her emerald eyes became full of seductive glances.
"Don't... don't do that..."
The hot breath of a man swept over her, making Dugu Yan tremble, almost melting into a pool of spring water as she looked at Dai Yao's fiery gaze, not daring to meet his eyes.
Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Dai Yao snorted coldly and stood up.
He felt as if an invisible force was watching him, and if he were to go any further, it would have to wait until he was older.
Cradling her enchanting face gently, he smiled and said,
"Actually, you should try growing your hair long."
The blush that had faded from Dugu Yan's face quickly returned. She wondered: Does he prefer long hair?
She shyly stroked her short green hair, turning her head away, her voice trembling:
"Re... really?"
Dai Yao stroked his chin, pretending to think before nodding.
"You're a control-type soul master with a snake-type spirit. Long hair would resemble a snake, and in a soul battle, you could even develop soul skills using your hair."
"Is... is that all?"
Dugu Yan was a bit annoyed, staring blankly.
She had thought Dai Yao liked long hair, but it turned out it was just for soul battles?!
Dai Yao chuckled, pulling her into his arms: "Of course, long hair suits you better!"
Hearing this, Dugu Yan's expression finally brightened, realizing that Dai Yao had been teasing her. She gave him a light punch to the chest, flustered: "You're so naughty~"
Her heart stirred with admiration as she thought: "I really like him!"
"By the way, has anything been happening at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy lately?"
Dai Yao asked.
Dugu Yan pondered for a moment before answering:
"Not much, but recently a group of people tried to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy. At the invitation of that spoiled prince Xue Beng, my grandfather stepped in and drove them away."
"Oh?!"
This sounded familiar to Dai Yao, and his eyes lit up. He asked eagerly:
"What did these people look like?"
Dugu Yan furrowed her brows, uncertain:
"I only noticed their backs when I went to see my grandfather. It seemed like they were the same group we encountered in the Star Dou Forest."
"I heard that Teacher Qin Ming even left with them!"
Although Dugu Yan had already left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, she still had great respect for Qin Ming. After all, he had the potential to become a Title Douluo and was respected wherever he went.
Dai Yao understood immediately.
It seemed the story was progressing to the point where Shrek Academy was being humiliated and would soon join Blue Tyrant Academy. However, he was curious how the battle between Shrek and Imperial Academy was going.
With Tang San no longer having the Eight Spider Lances, and Imperial Academy without Dugu Yan—the team's tactical brain—the battle was bound to be uncertain.
"Yao, why are you asking me about all this?"
Dugu Yan asked with confusion.
Dai Yao pressed his lips together but couldn't explain everything to her. He patted her bottom and said:
"Men's business, don't ask too much!"
"Hmph~"
Dugu Yan turned her head away, not wanting to talk to Dai Yao anymore. But as she saw him deep in thought, her eyes flickered, and she became hesitant about something she wanted to say.
Dai Yao, noticing her hesitation, asked with concern:
"Is something wrong? Just say it."
"I... I—"
Her red lips glowed with temptation, but she still couldn't speak. Dai Yao quietly waited, and after a long pause, Dugu Yan bit her lip and said:
"Yao, since you've helped me treat the toxins in my body, could you also help treat my grandfather?"
She pleaded with him.
Dai Yao's pupils contracted sharply. Thinking back to when Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo, had captured him and tortured him, he felt displeased at the idea of treating the old man.
If it weren't for the timely rescue by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Spirit Hall, he might have already become a withered corpse at the Eye of Ice and Fire.
Seeing that Dai Yao didn't respond, Dugu Yan's expression shifted, and she kneeled, her long legs graceful, tears falling down her face as she begged:
"Yao, I know that it's hard for you to accept me, and I even once said I would kill you. Now, asking you to treat my grandfather is really a difficult request."
"But every time I go home and see my grandfather tortured by the toxins, crying out in pain at night, as his granddaughter, it really hurts me."
"So, even if I risk you hating me, I must ask."
Thinking of the internal struggle between her love for Dai Yao and her loyalty to her family, her emotions overflowed, and she couldn't stop the tears from flowing.
Dai Yao smiled bitterly, but he couldn't resist—he was a man who couldn't stand seeing a woman cry, especially a gentle and understanding woman like Dugu Yan.
He helplessly looked at her kneeling on the ground, lifting her up, and wiped away her tears:
"Fool, since you've chosen to be with me, I won't let you suffer. Find a time, and I'll help your grandfather clear the toxins."
Dugu Yan's face lit up with joy: "Thank you, Yao!"
But Dai Yao's expression remained serious: "I can help treat your grandfather, but it won't be the same as how I treated you just now."
Thinking of their earlier naked confrontation, Dugu Yan's face flushed with embarrassment.
"Then what method will you use to treat him?"
"Your grandfather will just need to take my special medicine for half a year, and that will completely dissolve the toxins in his body."
"When I treated you, you must have felt the dominance of the blue light. Although I trust you, I can't trust your grandfather."
Dai Yao said with a grave expression.
Hearing this, Dugu Yan sighed slightly, resting her head on Dai Yao's broad chest, a smile creeping up her pale face.
She understood his worries, but she was just happy to have his promise to treat her grandfather.
Thinking of how thoughtful Dai Yao was, her lips curved up in a smile.
As for the herbs to treat Dugu Bo, just like in the original story, the cure would involve using the Eight-Star Ice Grass and the Fire Orchid's blood to concoct a special medicine to remove the toxins from his body.
The more intimate content would have to wait until Dai Yao reaches adulthood.
