The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 19 Revenge
"My dear, my Yanyan is so beautiful. If someone else chases her, don't regret it!"

Dugu Bo was a little annoyed. In his opinion, Zhang San was an excellent candidate for his grandson-in-law, but his age of six years was really something he was helpless about.

"How can you force something like love?"

Zhang San shook his head. Dugu Yan was indeed beautiful, and he did like beautiful people, but it was not enough to just be beautiful.

If I have to say, in his eyes, feelings are more important than appearance, and he is a bit of an sapiosexual.

Rather than a beautiful wife with fair skin, long legs, and a caring and clingy little wife, he pursues a relationship with equal strength and the ability to share weal and woe.

They can resonate with each other's thoughts and have a tacit understanding of actions. They don't have to stick together all the time, but they can understand each other's intentions even if they are far apart.

To put it more bluntly - he is looking for a partner, not a vassal.

It is Zhao Min who battles wits and courage with Zhang Wuji and shouts, "I'm waiting for you in Dadu." It is Mu Guiying who can put on armor and lead a army, capture her husband on the battlefield, and bring him home to marry.

Independent, intelligent, strong, and although infatuated, she is not blind.

Such a woman is hard to come by in eight hundred years, let alone in a place like the Love Brain Continent.

Even if we can just make do, at least we have something in common, right?
So Zhang San is not in a hurry about this. As I said before, he is only six years old...

An old man and a young boy were waiting in the yard. After a long time, Dugu Yan walked out of the house with a red face.

At this time, her original purple hair had turned back to black, her pupils were also black and shiny, and her rosy face was full of vitality, more lively than before.

"grandfather!"

Dugu Yan called out softly and ran to Dugu Bo's side. Her newly changed white skirt fluttered in the wind, bringing with it a faint scent of shower gel.

"Hey, good Yanyan!"

Dugu Bo happily touched Dugu Yan's black hair, his eyes full of joy.

"How are you feeling? Have there been any changes?"

“I feel a lot more relaxed.”

Dugu Yan held her grandfather's arm, resting her little head on Dugu Bo's elbow, her face flushed, and she didn't dare to look at Zhang San.

Seeing his granddaughter acting like a little girl, Dugu Bo narrowed his green eyes slightly and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Suddenly, he seemed to sense something was wrong and turned to look at Zhang San: "Why did Yanyan lose so much soul power?"

"Building the foundation and rebuilding..."

Zhang San shook his head. The Beiming Divine Art sucked away not only the soul power, but also the cultivation level, which was equivalent to sucking away the upper limit of the blue bar.

If you want to recover, unless Zhang San himself gives you an initiation, you can only rebuild it bit by bit, and you can't recover by just meditating.

Therefore, during the absorption process, the soul ring will disappear along with the cultivation level.

"I'm going to improve the quality of my martial soul in a couple of days, so I'm going to change my spirit rings as well. Weren't you curious about my spirit ring combination before?"

"So, Yanyan can also reach the second ring of the thousand years?" Dugu Bo's face lit up with joy.

"After all, her cultivation level is close to that of a great soul master, and her physical strength is definitely sufficient." Zhang San nodded.

"it is good!"

Dugu Bo laughed again. "If that's the case, then I should fulfill my previous promise. How about I give you a good treatment in Tiandou City today?"

"Then...I want to eat roasted whole lamb."

Zhang San nodded happily. He didn't have much good food to eat in the welfare home in the past. After awakening, he had been busy improving his cultivation. In the past two days, his appetite had been a bit dull and he felt a bit craving for barbecue.

"Hey - what the heck is a roasted whole lamb?"

Dugu Bo burst into laughter, holding Zhang San with his left hand and Dugu Yan with his right hand, and strode out.

"Dragon liver, phoenix marrow, leopard fetus, and unicorn jerky, all you need to eat is to your heart's content!"

"Leopard fetus and scales?"

Zhang San was startled. Meng Ji, who was standing at his feet, quickly jumped into Zhang San's arms and looked at Dugu Bo with horror.

"Metaphor, metaphor..."

Dugu Bo's mouth twitched. He almost forgot that this kid's martial soul was a leopard.

Although it is not an ordinary leopard, its shape is similar. If it were an ordinary martial spirit, it would be nothing, but this little thing is an independent individual and a living creature.

Dugu Bo did not break his promise. He really booked the most luxurious restaurant in Tiandou City and really got the best food for Zhang San.

Of course, the dragon is a sub-dragon, and the phoenix is ​​just a bird soul beast with the blood of the phoenix.

But Zhang San was not picky. It was his first time eating these things. To be honest, the taste was indeed incomparable to that of ordinary livestock, but it was not amazing. It was just that the nutritional content far exceeded that of ordinary ingredients.

After eating it, you can clearly feel the energy filling up, your whole body becomes warm, and the fluctuations of your soul power become more active. Apart from that, there is nothing special.

In the huge private room, Zhang San was eating heartily. In comparison, Dugu Bo and his grandson ate more reservedly.

Dugu Bo had no desire for food, while Dugu Yan had just suffered a social failure in front of Zhang San and now had no appetite. He just ate cakes in small bites and glanced at Zhang San from time to time.

At first, he looked a little guilty, but after looking for a long time, he didn't see Zhang San looking at him, so he stuffed the food into his mouth, feeling a little ashamed and angry.

The brat didn't even look at me, which made me look like I was making a big deal out of nothing and overreacting...

Dugu Yan was furious and wanted to throw a tantrum, but she thought that Zhang San was trying to detoxify her after all, and he was her savior after all. He was only six years old, so it was normal for him to not understand girls' minds.

But she still felt a little embarrassed to have made such a fool of herself in front of a boy.

Then she recalled how Zhang San reminded her to take a shower without any disgust before leaving the bathroom, and then waited for her in the yard attentively, and she felt touched again.

Actually, this guy is quite considerate...

No, doesn't that mean he's deliberately not looking at me? Is he being considerate of my appearance?

That’s not right, I don’t really need him to pay attention to me…

But if that’s the case, why should I be angry?
"Humph!"

Dugu Yan suddenly snorted, causing Zhang San and Dugu Bo to pause and look at Dugu Yan at the same time.

Noticing the look in Zhang San's eyes, Dugu Yan immediately recalled her previous embarrassment and her face turned red.

"You little brat! What are you looking at me for? Eat yours!"

"Forehead…"

Zhang San was stunned for a few seconds, his mind racing, secretly guessing what this girl meant.

Think about it, the two of them were chatting happily last night, but now their attitudes have suddenly changed. The only turning point during this period was the detoxification just now.

So you got angry with me because you felt embarrassed?

To be honest, although Zhang San has some research on psychology and emotions, compared with Li Si who is proficient in this field, he has a fatal flaw - he has never been in love.

In other words, apart from the psychology of interpersonal communication, Zhang San's understanding of emotions is entirely based on theoretical theory and logical thinking, and has never been put into practice.

As for a girl of Duguyan's age, her mind was so chaotic that even Cthulhu would call her weird, let alone Zhang San...

Unable to guess the other person's changing mood at that moment, Zhang San thought about it again and again and could only apologize first.

He had heard from others that if a girl is angry, don't ask why, just apologize first.

If you are not wrong, a reasonable girl will naturally apologize after realizing what she has done. Just give her a way out. As for the unreasonable one, you can at least ease the relationship. At most, you can just keep your distance and have less contact with her. There is no need for him to get upset with Dugu Bo over a little girl.

After thinking for a moment, Zhang San nodded slightly: "I'm sorry, I was not considerate enough about the marrow cleansing and hair removal. I embarrassed you."

"I…"

"you…"

When Dugu Yan heard Zhang San mention what had just happened, she felt embarrassed and angry again.

She wanted to explain that she was not angry, but she opened her mouth but didn't know what to say. Her pretty face turned red with anxiety, and in the end she just turned her head away and snorted softly.

“Who is angry with you…”

I'm really angry...

Zhang San was speechless for a while. After thinking for a while, he didn't know what to say, so he had to continue eating.

Dugu Bo, on the other hand, was sharp-eyed and noticed the red tips of Dugu Yan's ears. The corners of his mouth twitched and he laughed.

He didn't think Dugu Yan would have any feelings for Zhang San at his age. After all, Zhang San was still too young.

According to Dugu Bo's thoughts, he was not afraid of the two children quarreling, but he was afraid that because of the age difference, the two would have no interest in each other, or that over time they would become siblings or superiors and subordinates, which was not what he wanted to see.

Now it seems that, regardless of this kid Zhang San, judging from the reaction of his granddaughter, at least she didn't really regard Zhang San as an ignorant child.

As long as they can keep this momentum going, when Zhang San is older and knows more about matters between men and women, the two of them will probably be able to get together naturally.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo smiled even more happily.

During the meal, Dugu Yan was in a state of confusion while Dugu Bo was very satisfied with his meal and Zhang San was eating with great relish.

Although it was unclear what Dugu Yan was angry about, it seemed that it was just a girl's worry. After all, she was quite obedient when the poison was removed before, and she was also very cautious about Bei Ming's soul power, which showed that this girl could still distinguish the important things in her heart.

Zhang San is not afraid of girls throwing tantrums, but he is afraid of them throwing tantrums regardless of the occasion, which would be very troublesome.

"Hey, I'm full!"

Patting his belly, Zhang San said happily.

The meal was a great pleasure for both the host and the guests, and nothing unexpected happened during the meal.

Dugu Bo's title of Titled Douluo is still very useful in Tiandou City. At least few people dare to cause trouble when he has booked the entire place.

When the three of them left, Dugu Yan turned around and looked at the mess on the table that Zhang San had swept, seeming to be thinking about something.

"It seems that you enjoyed your meal very much. Is there anything else you want to do?" Dugu Bo said happily.

"No more, go back and practice."

Zhang San stretched lazily. He had visited Tiandou City two days ago. Even the entertainment projects for the nobles were just some song and dance theaters, auction venues, brothels and teahouses. He was not very interested in them.

The three of them returned all the way to Dugu Bo's courtyard. During the trip, Zhang San's presence attracted the secret attention of many people.

Dugu Bo's name and characteristics are too conspicuous, and with a little child suddenly appearing around him, he naturally attracted attention.

For example, Salas quickly learned the news, and Xue Qinghe, who had been inquiring about Zhang San's movements, also got the news.

But considering the relationship between Dugu Bo and Prince Xuexing, Xue Qinghe did not act rashly, but just sent people to keep an eye on it.

After returning to the courtyard, Zhang San said hello to Dugu Bo and went back to the house to practice.

Dugu Yan glanced at Zhang San's back, called the maid, whispered a few instructions, and then went straight into the kitchen.

Soon, the afternoon passed in a flash.

In the room, Zhang San was sitting cross-legged and practicing Qigong, constantly purifying the soul power in his body.

When he gave Dugu Yan the initiation earlier, he absorbed nineteen levels of soul power from her, and then returned ten levels of soul power.

Logically, he should have gained a net ninth level of soul power, but in reality, due to the difference in soul power quality between the two, he actually lost two levels...

Considering that he would have to give Dugu Yan another shot in half a month, he had to raise his soul power to level 30 before then.

"call--"

Taking a long breath, Zhang San slowly opened his eyes.

Sure enough, even with Meng Ji's double cultivation plug-in, the speed of self-cultivation is still too slow compared to devouring other people's soul power.

I'd better go out and walk around tomorrow and catch some unlucky guy...

Knock knock knock…

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Zhang San stood up and opened the door. A slim maid holding a tray appeared outside and nodded politely.

"Excuse me, Master."

The maid was holding a tray, her tone was gentle, and her eyes held some unspeakable meaning.

"Is it dinner?"

Zhang San was short and couldn't see the food on the tray, but he figured it was time for dinner, so he made way for the other person to come in. "Don't you want to eat together tonight? Senior, is he practicing?"

"this…"

The maid placed the tray on the table, seeming to be hesitant to speak. Zhang San also saw what was on the tray.

A large bowl of coke, a plate of coal, and a small bowl of... porridge?

"This is dinner prepared by the young lady herself."

The maid pursed her lips, looking like she wanted to laugh but didn't dare.

Zhang San fell into deep thought after hearing this.

So this is... uh... revenge?
Was it because of the detoxification? Or was it because she was embarrassed by my apology at noon?

Wait, is it possible that...they aren't actually angry, they just want to cook a meal to express their gratitude?
Looking at the indescribable object on the tray, Zhang San shook his head slowly and firmly.

No! This is revenge!
There are maids in the house. If there was someone who could cook watching, it would not have turned out like this!

Judging from the quality, this pile of stuff is just for feeding pigs, and even pigs have to think about it...

So is this a mockery of my appetite? Or my poor table manners?
Just as Zhang San's CPU was running frantically, Dugu Yan was leaning over the corner of the corridor, quietly observing the movements in Zhang San's room, her heart filled with nervousness.

What Zhang San didn't know was that the facts were completely opposite to what he thought!
Dugu Yan did want to express her gratitude. Seeing that Zhang San was a big eater, she made this dinner. She wanted to express her gratitude and explain that she was not angry.

Girls are shy, and Dugu Yan had always been successful in the past. She was too embarrassed to say this out loud, so she had no choice but to take action.

However, what neither of them expected was that due to her spoiled character, the servants in the house were in awe of Dugu Yan, and no one dared to come forward and give her instructions when she was cooking, which resulted in such a pile of carbonized matter.

People who cook for the first time often have a kind of mysterious confidence...

Therefore, Dugu Yan didn't even taste it and directly asked the maid to bring it to Zhang San.

"Oh, there's one more thing the lady wants me to convey..."

The maid said gently: "Thank you so much."

Zhang San: "..."
