Wuhun Skeleton, in Douluo Skeleton Susanoo

 Chapter 76: A Fait accompli

After putting all the immortal herbs and treasures into the Ruyi Treasure Bag, Xia Liang glanced at Dugu Bo.

The moon is bright at this time.

The surface of the Yin-Yang Eye Spring of Ice and Fire is reflecting the light of the stars and the moon.

Dugu Bo stood by the spring, wondering what he was thinking about.

Now that he has eliminated the doubts of the person who stole the herbs, the only question he can think about is related to his granddaughter, right?

"Senior. I have picked all the herbs I know. There are about seven in total. Thank you for seeing me off." Xia Liang walked to Dugu Bo and said.

"You taught my granddaughter how to fuse the rings and mix poisons outside the body, and taught her a lot of knowledge. Now you are trying every way to help her solve the problem of snake venom. I have seen all your efforts for my granddaughter. It is only right that I give you these herbs."

At this point, the deepness in Dugu Bo's eyes disappeared, and he looked at Xia Liang and smiled, "Boy, it's late. You can stay in my mansion tonight."

Hearing this, Xia Liang was unable to react for a moment. He remembered Dugu Yan saying that the Dugu Mansion did not hire any servants and usually only the grandfather and granddaughter lived there.

If Dugu Yan is not here, then it would be a bit scary to live with Dugu Bo tonight.

Seeing Xia Liang's reluctant look, Dugu Bo's smile suddenly disappeared, and he said unhappily, "My Dugu Bo's mansion has never had outsiders enter. Boy, do you know that Prince Xuexing once proposed to visit my mansion, but I declined. Now I take the initiative to invite you to stay for one night, do you also want to decline me?"

Looking back at Dugu Bo's deep gaze, Xia Liang dared not say anything and could only bow and say, "Thank you for the invitation, senior. I will stay at your mansion tonight."

Dugu Bo snorted disdainfully, "Do you think that I invited you to stay here for a night because I want to do something bad to the treasure hidden in your body? Tomorrow is a day off in the academy, and Yanyan will be back early tonight."

Xia Liang suddenly realized, "Senior, what do you mean?"

"Didn't I say before that it's useless to ask you about your relationship with Yanyan? That's perfect. I'll ask you two about it tonight."

Dugu Bo said seriously, "No matter what you think of each other, the gossip and scandal in this academy will be clarified sooner or later. I don't want my granddaughter to lose her innocence and end up being unwanted. Let's go to my house first."

night.

Tiandou City, Dugu Mansion.

As soon as she walked into the house, Dugu Yan discovered that there was a commotion in the kitchen, and her grandfather was sitting at the dining table in the hall.

There were several plates of delicious food on the table. The color of the soup and vegetables alone was enough to make one's mouth water, not to mention the aroma emanating from each dish.

Seeing his granddaughter coming home, Dugu Bo's usually gloomy face softened a little, and he waved, "Yanyan, come here quickly."

As she walked towards the dining table, Dugu Yan was also paying attention to the movements in the kitchen. Her grandfather was the only one living at home. If her grandfather was sitting at the dining table, who was cooking in the kitchen?

Just as Dugu Yan came to the dining table and sat opposite Dugu Bo, Xia Liang, who was cooking in the kitchen, came out after hearing the noise. He looked at the dining table and teased like last time, "Yan Yan, you are a rare guest. How come you have time to come here tonight?"

Hearing this greeting, Dugu Yan was stunned for a moment, staring blankly at Xia Liang. At this moment, he was wearing a floral apron and wiping his hands with a green handkerchief.

The kitchen is filled with aromas and food is still being cooked.

"This is my home!" Duguyan frowned, "Xia Liang, I should be the one asking you this question. Why are you in my home? My grandfather is still..."

"Senior Du invited me here and told me to sleep here for one night."

Hearing this answer, Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo with disbelief, and Dugu Bo smiled and nodded.

"You grandpa and granddaughter can chat first. We can have dinner after I finish cooking this dish."

After saying that, Xia Liang walked back to the kitchen, threw the blue handkerchief into the sink and continued cooking.

Duguyan glanced towards the kitchen, her face full of curiosity, "Grandpa, when did you become so close to Master Xia? Didn't you want to bully him before?"

"Yanyan, stop pretending." Dugu Bo said unhappily. "Do you think that grandpa is old and confused and his ears don't work well just now? Xia Liang is Xia Liang, but you have to call him Master Xia in front of others, making you two seem like strangers. I saw that when you were practicing in the cave, you called each other by your nicknames, which was very intimate, right?"

Duguyan blushed, "Grandpa, do you know all the gossip about the academy?"

"The whole academy is going crazy about it. How could Grandpa not know about it?"

Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan and said accusingly, "I heard from that boy that he confessed his love to you ten times, but you rejected him every time. But you didn't come out to clarify, and let the gossip in the academy spread more and more. Are you going to keep that boy hanging?"

"Do you know how much time and energy Xia Liang spent researching various foods and supplements to solve your snake venom problem? I don't think it's an honor for you to keep someone who cares so much about you hanging around like this!"

Dugu Yan felt extremely aggrieved and glared towards the kitchen angrily, "Grandpa, don't listen to his nonsense. When did he confess to me? And I rejected him ten times? Oh, I hinted to him so many times, but he just brushed it off. It's obvious that he was teasing me! Last time, I invited him to our restaurant."

At this point, Duguyan's voice suddenly stopped. She almost let out a grudge. If her grandfather knew that this was not the first time Xia Liang came to visit their home, there might be some conflict.

"Why did you bring him back tonight?" Dugu Yan asked after adjusting her mood.

"It's all for you." Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan's eyes seriously. "Do you really think that Grandpa doesn't know what you're thinking? Yanyan, with your hot temper, if there was a scandal with someone else, you would have come out to clarify it long ago. You might even beat the other person up. But not only did you not do that, you let the scandal develop. Isn't it obvious what you feel for that person?"

After hearing this, Dugu Yan's resolute manner immediately subsided. She glanced towards the kitchen and said truthfully after a moment of silence, "Xia Liang and I haven't reached that stage yet. We have only held hands before, and it was unintentional, not initiated by either party. Grandpa, you brought him back suddenly. You don't want me to do it tonight, do you?"

Dugu Bo laughed strangely, "If you don't act quickly, Grandpa will take action!"

Dugu Yan looked at Dugu Bo in shock, "Grandpa, you..."

"Grandpa means that if you keep dragging it out like this, I will help you. No matter what means I use, I will make it a done deal between you and that kid."

As he spoke, Dugu Bo took out a medicine bottle from the Qingnang Soul Guide. What was inside was not an anti-poison pill, but a tonic made from thousand-year-old whale glue and other medicines, in other words, a special aphrodisiac for sexual enhancement.

Seeing the medicine bottle on the table, Dugu Yan turned red all over.

Dugu Bo winked at the food on the table, signaling her to put the medicine in quickly.

Dugu Yan shook his head violently.

It was not until Xia Liang came out of the kitchen carrying the last dish that she quickly grabbed the medicine bottle on the table and hurriedly took back her ring soul guide.

"What are you talking about?"

Xia Liang put the dish in his hand on the table, looked at Dugu Bo and then at Dugu Yan with curiosity.
