Qian Renxue's Situation
🕑 Added 2021-06-13 15:09:14 +0000 UTC--- Chapter 122 ---
Yunlong casually stared at Dugu Bo with a relaxed expression on his face and sensed he had become more powerful than before.
‘Good..’ Yunlong thought while smiling in his heart.
He nodded his head and keenly gazed at his subordinate. “So, how is my sister's situation?" Yunlong suddenly asked with a solemn expression.
Dugu Bo understood why Yunlong seriously asked this and naturally answered, “She’s okay.”
He looked at the girls behind Yunlong and thought a few things in his head. “Let’s continue this conversation in another place, young master." He suggested
“Well, sure. We also need rest to begin with.” Yunlong responded with a shrug of his shoulder.
The maids were familiar with Dugu Bo because they had seen him in the past, except for Zhu Zhuqing, who saw this man with a clueless expression.
‘Who’s this person?’ Zhu Zhuqing thought while frowning a little.
Yunlong, who sensed Zhu Zhuqing’s wariness, only chuckled a little and patted her head a few times. “Don’t worry, he’s my subordinate, so you don’t have to be wary of him.” He said.
“Is that so..?” Zhu Zhuqing quietly responded with a confused expression because they had never told her about Dugu Bo.
“Hmm?” Dugu Bo realized that Yunlong brought two extra maids than he had brought in the past, which caused him to smile because his young master seemed to have a hobby of collecting maids.
Dugu Bo casually walked forward and said, “Let me introduce myself.”
“My name is Dugu Bo, The Poison Douluo and Young Master Yunlong's subordinate.” He confidently continued, which caught Zhu Zhuqing and Chu Yunxi’s attention.
"He’s a titled douluo..?" Zhu Zhuqing tilted her head while looking at the brown-haired man in front of her, to which Dugu Bo responded with a slight nod.
Chu Yunxi, on the contrary of Zhu Zhuqing, calmly looked at Dugu Bo with an observant gaze because she had already known about this man before, but had never met him in person.
"Chu Yunxi. Nice to meet you, Poison Douluo." Chu Yunxi politely greeted him while bowing her body like a proper maid.
Zhu Zhuqing became slightly panicked because of her and clumsy yet bluntly said, “Zhu Zhuqing, I’m Yunlong's maid, nice to meet you..”
Dugu Bo couldn’t help but chuckled a little and said, "Haha, what an interesting maid you have there, young master."
Yunlong only smiled when hearing Dugu Bo's comments and gently shook his head.
“Let’s go.” He said and they went to a building near Dugu Bo’s garden, which was the training base for them in the past.
The two-story building, which was relatively smaller than what they had in the star luo empire, stood firmly on the ground and surprisingly didn’t look completely abandoned.
"It still looked good, even though no one used it, eh?" Yunlong commented while looking at the building in front of him, which reminded him of the time when he slept together with his sister.
‘What a good time.’ He thought while remembering Qian Renxue’s kiss.
"Well, your sister actually visited this house often." Dugu Bo answered while standing beside him. “Even though I never asked, what is she doing inside?”
"Hmm, I see…" Yunlong lightly nodded his head when hearing Dugu Bo’s words.
He walked forward and took a key from his inventory, which perfectly matched with the front door’s lock.
Click.
A clicking sound echoed and the door was immediately opened, which made some maids curious, but the only thing they could see was only darkness.
‘Just what’s she doing in here..?’ Yunlong thought while looking at the darkness.
Yunlong naturally turned around and looked at his maids. “You all could enter first. I’ll talk with Dugu Bo for a bit.” He said.
They stared at Yunlong for a moment and then nodded their heads, walking into the house with a somewhat curious expression, especially for Zhu Zhuqing and Chu Yunxi, who had never been here before.
“The path is still the same, right?” Yunlong asked Dugu Bo, who nodded his head.
They walked toward the ice and fire well and Yunlong immediately noticed the heavenly herbs’ seeds he planted a few years ago had grown into premature-sized plants.
"You’re really invested in growing these herbs, huh," He commented while viewing every single of the heavenly herbs, which radiated with vitality and their respective attributes.
Dugu Bo only shook his head at Yunlong’s remark and humbly replied, "I only did what you instructed me, young master."
"I’m also quite bored, so treating these herbs really helped me a lot reducing my boredom." He continued with a smile on his face.
Yunlong looked around the area and noticed this place didn’t change that much, the only thing different from before was a white pavilion, which stood near the ice and fire well.
They walked toward the pavilion and had seats in front of each other. Dugu Bo suddenly took out a wine bottle of his spatial tool, which brightened Yunlong’s eyes a little.
"Do you want some wine, young master?" Dugu Bo asked Yunlong, who only nodded his head.
He poured the wine into a small cup and the aromatic scent immediately hit Yunlong’s nose. "You made it from medicinal herbs?" He commented.
"Oh, you know about it, young master?" Dugu Bo reacted with a surprised expression on his face.
"You know, I’m also a winemaker," Yunlong said while smiling at Dugu Bo.
He wholeheartedly chuckled and took a few bottles of wine out of his inventory, stacking them on the table and causing Dugu Bo to stare at him with a dumbfounded expression.
"Hahaha…" Dugu Bo laughed and tried to cover his mouth, but he couldn't because Yunlong really shocked him.
"I see, I see…" He added while looking at Yunlong, "Let’s have a toast, young master."
Yunlong casually poured the wine and exchanged it with Dugu Bo’s wine, so they could taste each other's creations.
"Cheers." Dugu Bo took the wine up and raised it to the air.
"Cheers," Yunlong responded with the same gesture and they fastly drank the wine.
Yunlong is actually not a fan of alcohol, but this level of wine won’t work on him because of the extreme poison immunity, which neutralizes every kind of harmful substance in his body.
Well, to be fair, Jin Eyu sometimes invited him to drink after training and Yunlong usually declined because that old man was literally the first person who became drunk.
‘This is not bad.’ Yunlong thought while putting back the wine cup on the table.
Dugu Bo suddenly released a gasp and his face became entirely red because the wine Yunlong created was really strong.
"Hic, This is a strong wine." Dugu Bo hiccuped for a moment and his head became really light for some reason.
"It was only one gulp and you were already drunk?" Yunlong helplessly shook his head.
Even though Yunlong’s comment seemed to sound rude, Dugu Bo didn't mind it and only laughed it off because he had never tasted such a strong wine in his life.
"Haha, Let’s continue!" Dugu Bo excitedly poured the wine and they started the second shot.
They drank the wine while talking about what happened to them in these four years, Yunlong didn’t talk much about his mission and only told Dugu Bo about his training.
Meanwhile, Dugu Bo straightly tells his experience in these years like how he taught his son and granddaughter about his cultivation path and experience about growing medicinal herbs.
After a few minutes of blabbering, Dugu Bo started telling him about Qian Renxue, which made Yunlong attentively listen to his story.
At first, Dugu Bo told him about how Qian Renxue became the prince’s maid for almost a year to observe his behavior and then quietly assassinated him.
She then replaced his position with an extremely detailed disguise, which combined with the former prince’s behavior, making her a perfect fake prince without anyone knowing the fact that the real prince had died.
Even the head of the seven treasure clan, who is the prince’s teacher, didn’t know that his student had died.
Qian Renxue’s influence as prince also has grown so much and the heaven dou empire is almost in her hands, the only thing that matters now is to kill the current emperor, so she could replace him.
“She’s not completely done yet, huh.” Yunlong sipped the wine and observed the white moon in the night skies.
Yunlong suddenly grinned a little and said, “Big Sister, should I help you?”
