Douluo Continent: I've joined forces with Tang San and taken Xiao Wu as my concubine!

Chapter 66, Please Whip Me!

Having made up her mind, Dugu Yan returned to her room. She resolved to avoid Meng Bei for the next two days. As long as the two of them did not meet, nothing unexpected would happen.

Meanwhile, after tricking Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo went directly to Meng Bei.

He questioned:

"Hey kid, what's going on? Why did Yanyan tell me she wants to go back early?"

Meng Bei then told Dugu Bo what he had done to Dugu Yan.

After hearing this, Dugu Bo seemed to be deep in thought, and his gaze toward Meng Bei became somewhat surprised.

"You've got some skills, kid. It hasn't been long, and you've already accomplished this much. Based on my understanding of Yan Yan, she definitely has feelings for you. Otherwise, she would have taken action directly instead of choosing to leave!"

Dugu Bo said this.

Dugu Bo was somewhat surprised that Meng Bei could so quickly win Dugu Yan's heart.

Unfortunately, time was too short. If Meng Bei had been given another ten days or half a month, he might have succeeded. But now time was of the essence, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's next attack was coming at any time. Dugu Bo no longer had time to give this kid a chance to shine.

After thinking for a moment, Dugu Bo said to Meng Bei:

"Kid, there's not much time left. After today, there will only be two days left. Don't think too much in these two days. Just spend more time building up your relationship with Yan Yan and coax her. That way, it will be easier for you two when I make my move."

Meng Bei shook his head upon hearing this.

Although he knew very little about relationships, he understood that trying to please someone was not advisable. Trying to coax Dugu Yan at this time would only provoke her rebellious nature and have a counterproductive effect.

The correct approach should be...

Meng Bei whispered to Dugu Bo several times.

Dugu Bo looked shocked. "This can actually work?"

Meng Bei's expression was firm: "Do as I say!"

Dugu Bo had no choice but to comply.

In fact, he had discussed a similar plan with Dugu Bo a few days ago. At that time, his plan was more comprehensive, but plans can't keep up with changes. Now, time is tight, and there is no time for him to make detailed arrangements.

Therefore, we have no choice but to proceed ahead of schedule.

Dugu Yan was currently cultivating in her room, trying her best to banish distracting thoughts from her mind, especially the taste of that kiss, and then focusing intently on her cultivation.

However, this was too difficult for her. Her kiss with Meng Bei was her first kiss, and the impression Meng Bei left on her was too deep, always imprinted in her mind, and she often couldn't help but think about it.

In order to banish Meng Bei from her mind, Dugu Yan even held a photo of herself and Yu Tianheng at the Tiandou Royal Academy in her hands, looking at it from time to time to dilute her memories of Meng Bei.

Suddenly, a roar came from outside, interrupting Dugu Yan's thoughts.

"Damn it, so it was you who bullied Yanyan! No wonder she suddenly wanted to leave. I'll teach you a lesson you beast!"

Upon hearing this, Dugu Yan's mind immediately became chaotic.

Grandpa didn't hurt Xiao Bei, did he?

Dugu Yan's heart was instantly thrown into turmoil. She got up, threw the photo aside, and immediately wanted to go out to check.

But when she reached the door, she hesitated.

What should she say to Meng Bei when she sees him later?

Is it out of concern, or something else?

If she goes there, will it cause Meng Bei to misunderstand?

Dugu Yan thought to herself, and for a moment she didn't know what to do.

She pressed her ear against the doorway, listening intently to the sounds outside.

Perhaps Grandpa won't be too harsh; he might just give her a slight punishment. If that's the case, then she doesn't need to go out.

Dugu Yan thought to herself.

"Thump, thump, thump..." Several dull sounds, like the sound of a blunt object hitting a person, were particularly noticeable in the silent air.

Immediately afterwards, "crack, crack, crack..." a series of whip cracking sounds came, as if the sound of whips was piercing through the air, and Dugu Yan's ears were sore from the impact.

"Grandpa hit him way too hard!"

Dugu Yan was terrified, and what frightened her even more was that she couldn't hear any other sounds besides those two.

"I hope Xiao Bei wasn't knocked unconscious!"

Dugu Yan could no longer care about anything else and rushed out of the room towards the direction of the sound.

At this moment, Meng Bei was tied to a tree by Dugu Bo and was being tortured, his back was ripped open.

Blood soaked through his clothes, trickling down in sparse streams. Even Dugu Bo felt a pang of pity at the sight and whispered a concerned question:

"Kid, can you handle this? Don't push yourself!"

Dugu Bo was genuinely afraid that Meng Bei would be badly injured.

Although he wanted Meng Bei to try his best to win over Dugu Yan, he also didn't want Meng Bei to suffer such great harm because of it.

We'll be family sooner or later, there's no need for this!

Meng Bei raised his head with difficulty and smiled, saying:

"Don't worry, this little injury is nothing to me!"

As the saying goes, it's a self-inflicted injury scheme; getting hurt is perfectly normal.

Moreover, Meng Bei's physique is quite strong, so this injury is really nothing to him. If he hadn't suppressed his body's healing ability, these seemingly terrifying superficial wounds would have healed in no time.

"Crack!" Another lash struck, blood and bits of flesh flying through the air. Meng Bei remained silent, as if his bloodied back wasn't even his own.

Dugu Yan rushed over from a distance, and even from afar she could smell the blood in the air, which made her expression change drastically. She hurriedly rushed over without regard for anything else.

"Grandpa, what are you doing!"

Dugu Yan cried out, her voice trembling with tears.

Dugu Bo breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Dugu Yan had finally arrived.

If they kept fighting like this, he was afraid he would beat the kid to death.

However, as planned, Dugu Bo's expression remained cold and stern.

He threw down the whip in his hand, walked up to Dugu Yan, and said:

"Yanyan, don't worry, Grandpa has already avenged you!"

After saying that, Dugu Bo left straight away.

Dugu Yan couldn't care less about Dugu Bo at this moment. She stared blankly at Meng Bei, who was beaten until his skin was torn and bleeding, and tears streamed down her face.

"Xiao Bei, Xiao Bei, are you alright!"

Dugu Yan rushed forward and quickly untied the ropes binding Meng Bei.

As soon as the ropes were untied, Meng Bei collapsed to the side.

Dugu Yan quickly caught Meng Bei and held him in her arms.

Meng Bei weakly opened his eyes. His once bright blue eyes were now dull and lifeless, and his face was bloodless, which made Dugu Yan feel extremely distressed.

However, what alarmed Dugu Yan even more was that the first thing Meng Bei showed when he opened his eyes and saw her was fear!

Although that fear flashed by, it was crystal clear in Dugu Yan's eyes.

The two had met countless times during this period, and every time Meng Bei saw Dugu Yan, his eyes were filled with joy.

However, perhaps it was precisely because she had experienced joy so many times that it had become worthless, and Dugu Yan had never paid any attention to it.

Now, joy has suddenly turned into fear, and only after losing it did Dugu Yan realize how precious that joy was.
