After returning to Dao Academy, Han Yuan went to the hut and heard Han Yue humming in the kitchen. "What are you cooking, Sister?"
"Oh, you're back. Only one night? That's faster than I thought." Han Yue said with a raised eyebrow.
Han Yuan smiled, "Hunting spirit beasts becomes easier when you can find their locations and not rely too much on luck."
"Is that so?" Han Yue tilted her head.
"Yes, what about you? The academy is safe, right?" Han Yuan changed the topic.
Han Yue sighed, "Some people wanted to trespass into the academy's territory last night, and I quickly shifted the poison gases so they couldn't do anything."
"These people never get tired or something."
Han Yuan frowned, "Have you interrogated them?"
"Mm. These people are from Spirit Hall, Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and noble families of Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire."
"No, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?" Han Yuan felt something was weird.
"No, there are no agents from that clan." Han Yue replied casually. "They probably realized our Dao Academy has the backing of the Merchant Union thanks to you."
"Not for long." Han Yuan laughed bitterly, sharing what he had done in the Sunset Forest. He started by offending the Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan by injuring Yu Tianheng and Qin Ming and possibly getting on the bad side of Poison Douluo.
"Girls..." Han Yue mumbled. "Are they beautiful?"
"Pardon?" Han Yuan blinked in confusion.
Han Yue pouted at him, "I'm talking about your new Sister Yan and Sister Lingling. Are they beautiful?"
Cough!
"They are not as beautiful as you." Han Yuan smoothly replied.
"Hmph, you're getting too slick with your words, mister," Han Yue curved her lips into a smile. "But I will take it."
"Go take a bath. Dinner will be ready soon."
"Yes, yes." Han Yuan helplessly walked to the bathroom.
Han Yue stared at Han Yuan's back and sighed inside because her baby brother had grown into a handsome young man so fast. She should have expected many girls to get smitten by his natural charm and talent, but her heart couldn't help but feel possessive.
These dark, twisted, possessive feelings are just too sweet.
She bit her lips, "Xiao Yuan, no one can separate us."
...
...
After dinner, Han Yuan went to his training platform and sat there for five minutes, gazing at the sunset. Then, he spread his spiritual power to the gathering of "white" clouds around Desolate Mountain, using Sky Poison pearl to check the concentration of poison.
These "white" clouds are none other than poison gasses Han Yuan made using Sky Poison Pearl. It combined thousands of toxins from many spirit beasts, refining them into formless and scentless matters.
The ingredients are secret, but among them is the poison of 50,000-year-old Man-Faced Demon Spiders, Death Spider King, and Black Widow Spider Queen.
"Uh, a Title Douluo actually snoops around the academy's territory when I'm out? The concentration of white clouds is below 70%, which means I have to fill it up again." Han Yuan was surprised to find someone was bored enough to do this.
Isn't Title Douluo supposed to be the peak power on the Douluo Continent?
What are you doing in my land, bruh?
Focus on your goddamn cultivation!
After filling up the poison barrier with more toxins, Han Yuan received a call from Liu Erlong as she received a letter from her father, telling her she must give the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan some explanation about what happened in the Sunset Forest.
Liu Erlong is the female tyrannosaurus. So, she beat up the messenger into a crying mess and made him relay her words bar by bar, "What happened in Dao Academy was entirely Yu Tianheng's fault."
"Since Yu Tianheng couldn't even defeat my student, he might as well stop being the young master of Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan because his performance is disappointing."
"Also, if you ever use dirty tricks on my students, my Dao Academy will use its every power to drag Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's name down with us."
"Don't underestimate us!"
"That's what I said!" Liu Erlong said, drinking her tea elegantly.
"..." Han Yuan stared at her blankly.
"You call me here only to say you make the situation worse?"
Liu Erlong waved her hand, "While that's true. My father is still the 2nd head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"I only recently realized that he actually tries to fix our relationship, but I was too mad and dumb to realize it..."
"So, he'd do something to make it right."
"You actually use your father's love like this?" Han Yuan was speechless.
Liu Erlong snorted, "Father's love? You gotta be joking, Xiao Yuan."
"What my father has for me is barely father's love but regret for my late mother. He was never in my life until my mother died..."
"Do you think I accept this kind of father's love?" She didn't say anything about how her father messed up (helped) her wedding, but that is beside the point of the current topic.
Deep down, Liu Erlong knew her father wasn't wrong. She just wanted to blame someone for her ironic wedding day.
"Hmm? A strong man is approaching our academy." Han Yuan said. The Blue Silver Network around Desolate Mountain Range suddenly detected a high level of spirit energy coming to the front door and relayed some images to him.
"It's Title Douluo."
"It can't be the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, right?" Liu Erlong stood up from her seat.
Han Yuan shook his head, "No. This Title Douluo doesn't possess lightning elements."
"According to the Blue Silver Grass's sense, this person has strong dark and space attributes, a rare combination I've ever seen so far."
"If my guess is correct, this Title Douluo is most likely the Bone Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, who brought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Patriarch, Ning Fengzhi, with him."
"They are probably here to draw us into their faction while saving us from the conflict between Heaven Dou Imperial Academy and Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."
"What a foxy intention they had." Han Yuan rubbed his chin and chuckled coldly.
"Senior Erlong, to be safe, keep the "weapon" I made for you in your hand."
Liu Erlong nodded and followed Han Yuan's lead. She acts like a female tyrannosaurus because she is confident in her strength, but Title Douluo is where she draws the line and decides to use her brain more.
She grabbed a weird metal stick from her storage tool and hid it in her sleeve, ready to attack if a conflict happened again.
"Let's go and greet these uninvited visitors, shall we?" Han Yuan extended his right arm to Liu Erlong.
Liu Erlong saw Han Yuan's gesture, and her eyes lit up. After all, this boy had never initiated a physical touch with her, yet he offered his arm like a gentleman now.
So, Liu Erlong excitedly pounced on Han Yuan's arm and held it between her soft mountains.
Then, they walked to the Dao Academy's gate.
Upon reaching the foot of Desolate Mountain, Han Yuan and Liu Erlong saw three distinct people in noble clothing standing before the massive gate. Each carries a different aura. Dark yet cold, intelligent yet cunning, and noble yet hidden.
Liu Erlong smiled politely, "Well, well, well... My Dao Academy didn't expect visitors at this time. What a surprise to find the infamous Seven Treasure Clan Glazed Tile Clan's Patriarch and Guardian, Sir Ning Fenzhi, and Senior Bone Douluo."
"Also, the Crown Prince. On what ground does my academy owe this pleasure to meet you?"
Ning Fenzhi raised his brow slightly because the information they got about Liu Erlong seemed wrong. The report said she was a deranged woman for a short time, so who is this woman who is savvy with her mouth?
Standing next to Ning Fenzhi, Gu Rong (Bone Douluo) similarly gazed at Liu Erlong with a surprised look but for an entirely different reason.
Bone Douluo's martial soul is the Bone Dragon with darkness and spatial attributes, clearly a "rare" noble existence among Dragon-type martial souls.
However, Gu Rong felt a nobler existence existed in Liu Erlong.
Not only was Liu Erlong's dragon martial soul a stronger dragon than Bone Dragon, but also a pure-blooded one as Gu Rong felt bloodline pressure on his martial soul!
Meanwhile, the Crown Prince, Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue), looked at the handsome young man beside Liu Erlong. She didn't know why, but this clear-eyed youth gave her inexplicable charm and feeling.
'What is this feeling?' Xue Qinghe (Qian Renxue)'s eyes flashed with curiosity.
