The Great Thief of the Universe, Starting from Douluo

Chapter 24 Flirting
"Little three~"

"What's the solution to the martial spirit's shortcomings that you just mentioned? Sister Yanyan is very curious, Xiaosan, can you tell me~"

Ever since she learned that Zhang San had a way to solve the shortcomings of Jiuxin Haitang's martial soul, Dugu Yan changed her attitude on the rest of the journey, fully letting Zhang San see what flattery meant.

"Is that alright, Your Highness Zhang San~"

Dugu Yan tugged at the corner of Zhang San's clothes, no longer showing any willfulness. She looked pitiful, "You should know this, right? There can only be two Nine-Hearted Begonia spirits in the world. That's why Lingling's grandmother passed away right after she awakened. How pitiful..."

"Sister only has this one good friend, so please help her, Xiao San~"

Dugu Bo grinned and watched the scene happily.

It was the first time he saw his granddaughter acting like a little girl to others.

“A touching friendship…”

Zhang San chuckled and said teasingly, "But Sister Yan, you also said that she's your friend. It's hard for me to resonate with you emotionally. Besides, what good would it do me to help her?"

"this…"

Dugu Yan thought about it, and suddenly her eyes lit up: "Lingling is a great beauty! How about introducing her to you?"

"I'm not ugly."

Zhang San spread his hands and said, "Why do you two like to do this?"

Seeing Zhang San's stubborn defiance, Dugu Yan felt anxious, but then she thought about it and realized that Zhang San seemed to be deliberately bringing up this topic, and the reason was because she had said something bad about him...

But given this guy's personality, he definitely wouldn't set such a big trap for himself just because of a bad word...

Not knowing what she was thinking about, Dugu Yan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she looked at Zhang San a little embarrassedly.

"So...you're not interested in me, are you?"

"You..."

Zhang San looked at her in surprise: "Why are you eating and taking things at the same time?"

“Ahhhh Zhang San!!!”

Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed red, and she pounced on Zhang San with her teeth and claws bared. Zhang San dodged easily with a flash of his body, while Dugu Bo laughed heartily.

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I am indeed interested in the Nine-Hearted Begonia and I have the ability to solve the shortcomings of this martial soul, but a mere Ye Lingling is of little value to me."

Zhang San smiled, grabbed Dugu Yan's slender wrist, released his strength and pulled her aside.

Then he casually touched the Ruyi Treasure Bag and took out a small box.

"Here is a magical herb called Qiluo Tulip, known as the king of magical herbs. It and the eight-petaled magical orchid you took are called mandarin duck magical herbs. They complement each other, just like the eight-petaled magical orchid can help your martial spirit complete its evolution..."

"Have you heard of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tower? It's a gemstone-based auxiliary martial spirit with an amplification effect regardless of level, but its highest innate ability can only be cultivated to level seventy-nine. If you offer this as a gift, I'm confident I can bring one of the top three sects under my wing, adding two more titled-level warriors to my arsenal..."

Zhang San said happily, shaking the box containing the magic grass in his hand.

But as if she wasn't paying attention, the box almost fell into Dugu Yan's arms.

Dugu Yan stared straight at the small box in front of her. Zhang San seemed defenseless at the moment, and the box was very close to her. She could easily snatch it away with just a stretch of her hand.

She also believed that given the relationship between Zhang San and Dugu Bo, he would not embarrass her because of a piece of grass...

Thinking of this, Dugu Yan's heart suddenly started pounding, while Dugu Bo beside her was secretly shocked and exclaimed in his heart, "Oh my god!"
How could he not see that Zhang San was testing Dugu Yan!
If nothing unexpected happens, even if Dugu Yan really snatches it away willfully, Zhang San will probably just laugh it off and not care about it, but the help and training conditions for Dugu Yan in the future will definitely drop by more than one level!
Even if he kept his promise and helped Dugu Yan become a god, I'm afraid he would only be a low-ranking god who was not worthy of being on the stage.

Thinking of this, Dugu Bo wanted to remind her, but he saw Zhang San looking back at him with a half-smile. His old face froze and he could only look at Dugu Yan eagerly, praying in his heart that this silly girl would not do anything stupid. Suddenly, Dugu Yan slowly raised her hand, and Dugu Bo's heart also lifted.

However, the next second, under Dugu Bo's anxious gaze, Dugu Yan gently grasped Zhang San's cloak with her small hands.

"Mistress..."

Dugu Yan gently tugged at her cloak and pleaded softly, "There are people in the Lingling family who don't have titles, but they have strong healing abilities. I can convince them to join the Spirit Hall. If you're willing to help, I'll also work hard to help you find these magical herbs in the future!"

"Besides, you've improved my qualifications now, so I'll definitely be able to get promoted soon and help you, okay..."

"call--"

Hearing Dugu Yan's plea, Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved.

Noticing Dugu Bo's reaction, Zhang San couldn't help but chuckle, "Sister Yan, what are you talking about? This magical herb is indeed very valuable, but since you said so, how could I refuse it?"

Dugu Yan's eyes lit up: "So... you agree?"

"For your sake."

Zhang San said, then changed the subject: "But Sister Yan, you should also understand... There is no free lunch in the world."

"I'll go and tell them!"

Dugu Yan patted his chest and said, "How about guaranteeing that the Ye family joins the Spirit Hall... no, joins the future Holy Son?"

"Okay!"

Zhang San chuckled and handed the box to Dugu Yan: "This way, even if we go to Wuhun City, you will have company, Sister Yan."

"Hurray! Xiaosan, you're the best!"

Dugu Yan cheered, suddenly hugged Zhang San and kissed him on the cheek.

Noticing this scene, Dugu Bo, not Yan, had a pair of old eyes that suddenly flashed with brilliance.

Zhang San was also slightly stunned. He touched his cheek and looked at Dugu Yan with some surprise.

Seeing Zhang San looking at her, Dugu Yan's cheeks flushed slightly, and she winked at Zhang San teasingly: "This is your reward~"

"Are you going to default on your debt?"

"Are you a moron? This is your first reaction after being kissed by a girl?!"

Hearing Zhang San's doubt, Dugu Yan's pretty face darkened. This brat really doesn't understand romance at all!
"Hahaha…"

Dugu Bo laughed heartily: "This brat just doesn't understand romance. Yanyan, you should have just grabbed him!"

"How can that be? I'm not a bandit. Besides, Xiao San has helped me so much. Wouldn't it be ungrateful to do this?"

Dugu Yan wrinkled her nose as she spoke, gently placed her arm on Zhang San's shoulder, chuckled and pinched his cheek: "And didn't we agree before? If you absorb someone's soul bone, you have to protect them, right? You naughty brother!"

The girl's giggle was sweet and her beautiful cheeks looked bright and charming in the mottled sunlight in the forest, which made Zhang San slightly startled.

I have to say that although this girl is quite charming, she also has the spirit of a woman of the world.

What surprised Zhang San the most was that Dugu Yan looked quite seductive at this moment!
