Douluo: Phoenix God Descends, Emperor Flame Burns the Sky

Chapter 22 Duguyan: My Grandfather is Kind and Loving

Riding on the afterglow of the sunset.

After school, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling went home together.

Hearing the servants report that His Majesty Poison Douluo has returned, Dugu Yan was pleasantly surprised, but Ye Lingling showed a worried look and asked cautiously:

"Yanyan, your grandfather won't do anything to Lin Xiao, right?"

Dugu Yan was startled.

"That shouldn't be the case. It's not like I haven't seen Lin Xiao before."

"Grandpa must know that he is my friend."

Ye Lingling didn't say anything, but just looked at Dugu Yan silently.

Dugu Yan: "..."

Well, she wasn't sure.

Although my grandfather is very kind to me, he seems to be very domineering towards outsiders and is not good at socializing. The first impression he gives people is often cold and aloof.

Lin Xiao...you won’t be scared, right?
Ye Lingling whispered:

"Come in and take a look, Yanyan. Call Lin Xiao first to see if he's still alive."

Although Ye Lingling is good friends with Dugu Yan, she is very afraid of Dugu Bo. Even though Dugu Bo always shows kindness to her, she is still a little scared.

Half of it was because of the outside world’s opinion of Dugu Bo; and half of it was because Dugu Bo really looked a bit fierce.

To the extent that Ye Lingling now spoke in a low voice, for fear that her bad words would be heard by Dugu Bo, otherwise she would dream of a poisonous snake crawling into her bed at night.

No kidding, it's really scary.

Duguyan was a little annoyed:
"Lingling, my grandpa just looks difficult to get along with, but he is very kind!"

Ye Lingling did not reply, but urged Dugu Yan:
"Yanyan, call out twice and see if Lin Xiao can still make any sound."

Dugu Yan was very hurt.

My grandfather is obviously a very good person, he just has a somewhat cold temperament, but that's because he doesn't have many friends and he likes to play with small snakes, centipedes, scorpions and the like.

But isn't keeping pets a sign of love? Grandpa is very friendly and fond of these pets, so how could he be a bad person?

Unable to resist Ye Lingling's urging, Dugu Yan called out to Dugu Bo, but no one responded.

"Lin Xiao? Lin Xiao!"

Dugu Yan called out to Lin Xiao twice in the backyard.

"Hey!"

"Sister Yanyan, you are back?"

The courtyard door was pushed open.

A handsome young man with long red maple hair came out, looked at Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, his eyes bright and a smile on his face, and said:
"You guys are finally back?"

"Senior Dugu and I were having a lively conversation."

Well, it’s more than just enthusiastic.

That's pretty hot~
Ye Lingling rushed forward, looked Lin Xiao left and right, touched his face, pinched his stomach, and even lifted Lin Xiao's eyelids.

All that’s left is to give Lin Xiao a full physical examination!
"what are you doing?!"

Lin Xiao took a step back suddenly and looked at Ye Lingling warily.

What evil intentions does this girl have?
Ye Lingling patted his chest, which had begun to take shape, with some relief, and said with emotion:
"Lin Xiao, it's great that you're still alive."

Lin Xiao: “…”

Dugu Yan: "..."

Duguyan could no longer bear it and said angrily:
"Lingling, I told you a long time ago that my grandfather is kind and loving, a very kind old man. Why don't you believe it?"

"Besides, my grandfather is so smart, he will definitely guess that Lin Xiao is my friend!"

Ye Lingling nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Nor did he refute.

Yes, yes, Yanyan, you are right. "Lin Xiao, you said you had a lively conversation with my grandfather?"

"Why doesn't my grandpa answer me when he's home?"

Lin Xiao was stunned for a moment, his expression looking a little strange.

Why didn't Dugu Bo reply? Of course, it was because he didn't dare to come out to greet Dugu Yan, and was busy cleaning up the green phosphorus snake venom in the yard!

This old guy only dared to be mean to Lin Xiao when Dugu Yan was not around. As soon as Dugu Yan returned home, his attitude towards Lin Xiao immediately took a 180-degree turn.

He also asked Lin Xiao to help him hide it.

A combination of soft and hard tactics, threats and sweet words.

"Well, because Poison Douluo wants to give you, Sister Yanyan, a surprise!"

As soon as Lin Xiao finished speaking, Dugu Bo appeared at the gate of the courtyard without anyone noticing, playing with the things in his sleeves, and said to Dugu Yan cheerfully:
"That's right! Yanyan, look what grandpa brought back for you?"

"Ah! What a beautiful little snake!"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up, and she ran forward happily. She took the little green snake that crawled out of Dugu Bo's sleeve into her hand and began to play with it skillfully.

That little green snake was also a highly poisonous snake. No one knew what species it was, but its body was as white as emerald, crystal clear. Even Lin Xiao, who was not interested in snakes, thought it was beautiful.

Every time Dugu Bo went out, he would lie to Dugu Yan and say that he was going to look for some poison or to do something very important, and when he came back he would bring gifts for Dugu Yan.

He only has this one granddaughter, so he dotes on her!
Dugu Bo took advantage of this opportunity and said:

"I was wondering why there was a boy at home. After asking, I found out that he was your friend Yanyan. Although he is still young, he is very brave."

"Yanyan, you're a good friend."

As Dugu Bo spoke, he secretly winked at Lin Xiao, meaning that I have said good things for you, so you'd better be sensible.

Lin Xiao had no choice but to praise each other with Dugu Bo.

"Rumors outside say that Senior Dugu is difficult to get along with, but I don't know if it's because of you, Sister Yanyan, but Senior Dugu is very good to me. It's a shame that we met too late!"

Dugu Bo laughed out loud.

"Haha, this kid is right!"

"He and I do get along well. If we continue chatting, I'd even like to become close friends regardless of age difference!"

Dugu Yan was completely relieved at this time.

He turned around and glared at Ye Lingling.

"Lingling, did you see that? My grandpa is very kind!"

This made Ye Lingling start to doubt herself.

Could it be that she was feeling wrong?

After a few people went in, they sat down and chatted together.

Speaking of martial soul defects.

Dugu Bo said that he and Lin Xiao had already discussed a solution, which made Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling so excited that they even ignored the following sentence "but we may not be completely sure", and were extremely happy.

"By the way, Lin Xiao, when are you going to leave?"

Dugu Bo asked Lin Xiao.

For him, the Sunset Forest was not very far away, so of course the sooner he got there the better, otherwise he would be tormented waiting every day.

Lin Xiao thought for a while and replied:
"I want to wait a little longer."

"What are you waiting for?"

"Wait for my evil fire to erupt again. I have a vague feeling that the evil fire has now reached a critical point. The third time the evil fire erupts, a transformation will occur!"

If the evil fire undergoes a transformation, perhaps it will be able to retain its domineering characteristics after swallowing the magic grass.

Lin Xiao didn't want the evil fire to disappear.

He possesses the "Ice Heart Sutra" and the "Five Animal Exercises". After discovering the Nine-Hearted Begonia's ability to change fate, the Evil Fire has become a golden finger that can defy fate.

Lin Xiao is still reluctant to give up!
