Outside.

Dugu Yan leaned against the wall, her arms crossed, her profile appearing particularly cold in the shadows.

She didn't even look at Yu Tianheng standing opposite her; she simply lowered her eyes slightly, her gaze fixed on the floor in front of her shoes.

"Yu Tianheng, I think I've made myself clear enough about that matter."

"It's not that I'm unwilling, it's that my grandfather doesn't approve of our marriage."

"So, that's it for now. If you want my grandfather to agree, then work hard to prove yourself."

"What do you mean by 'Let it be for now'?!"

Yu Tianheng flew into a rage, took a step forward, and his figure almost completely enveloped Dugu Yan in a suffocating shadow.

"Are you trying to break up with me?"

"That's not what I meant." Dugu Yan shook her head. "I just wanted to say that between us..."

"Haven't I tried hard enough?!" Yu Tianheng abruptly interrupted her, his chest heaving violently. "Dugu Yan, I really can't understand just how high your grandfather's standards are?"

"Among the entire younger generation of Heaven Dou City, whose talent, family background, and strength can surpass mine?"

"The direct grandson of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, is he really so insignificant in your grandfather's eyes? Not even worthy of his attention?!"

"I even doubt if you care about me at all. When your grandfather was making things difficult for me, you didn't say a word in my defense, you just stood by and watched!"

Dugu Yan's suppressed anger was finally ignited by these last few words.

"Yu Tianheng, that's enough!"

She suddenly looked up, her emerald green snake eyes narrowing sharply in the dim light, like a truly enraged venomous snake raising its pupils.

"First of all, my grandfather is my only remaining close relative in this world. It's not your place to say whether he 'looks at me' or not."

"Secondly, after all these years together, you still question my feelings for you..."

Dugu Yan took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress her surging emotions. "Yu Tianheng, you have disappointed me greatly!"

"Third, you say I didn't fight for you? Three days ago, when I took you to see my grandfather, have you really forgotten what happened?"

"You just stood there, letting Grandpa's barbed words harass you, head bowed like a log, not daring to utter a single word!"

"Yu Tianheng, you don't even have the courage to look him in the eye. How can I speak up for you?"

"You don't even dare to give a decent guarantee, you can't even say the words 'I will do it'."

After saying so much, Dugu Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart and felt terrible. When she spoke again, her voice was hoarse and tears rolled down her cheeks.

"Yu Tianheng..."

"If I were your grandfather, I wouldn't even want you."

"All you do is yell at me and take out your anger on me. When you're with my grandfather, you can't even straighten your back, like someone who's caught doing something wrong."

……

The suppressed sounds of arguing could be heard intermittently, and even through a wooden door, Little Fairy Doctor and her companion could hear them clearly.

The argument between Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng was very simple.

It's just that Dugu Bo doesn't think much of his grandson-in-law, Yu Tianheng.

Xiao Yixian was well-versed in the original work and knew very well why Dugu Bo looked down on Yu Tianheng.

Because Yu Tianheng approached Dugu Yan with ulterior motives, the feelings between the two were not pure.

Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex wanted to recruit Dugu Bo, a retired titled expert, into its sect, but Dugu Bo refused.

So the sect's higher-ups came up with a terrible idea: to have Yu Tianheng take down Dugu Bo's beloved granddaughter, Dugu Yan, in order to forcibly bind Dugu Bo to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect.

Unexpectedly, Yu Tianheng... after being boyfriend and girlfriend with Dugu Yan for so long, he still hasn't taken that crucial step to completely win her over. Instead, this has made Dugu Bo's attitude towards the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan even worse.

Yu Tianheng must have been instructed by his sect elders to go see Dugu Bo to discuss the marriage, but he was met with a cold rejection from Dugu Bo.

In conclusion, Little Fairy Doctor felt that Yu Tianheng was not a real man.

He remained silent when facing Dugu Bo, waiting for Dugu Yan to help him out of his predicament, and couldn't even utter a decent promise.

Now, he's turning around and questioning Dugu Yan, his emotions still unstable. He's venting all the anger he received from Dugu Bo and the sect elders on Dugu Yan.

Tsk... Little Fairy Doctor can't understand why Dugu Yan would still be so devoted to Yu Tianheng later on.

Perhaps, the continent of love has a magnetic field that lowers women's IQ.

……

The sounds of arguing outside the door disappeared, replaced by faint sobs.

After a while, the sobbing gradually stopped.

When Dugu Yan returned to the room, her once rosy face was now deathly pale, with clear tear tracks on her cheeks and red eyes as if they had shed blood and tears.

Seeing the usually carefree Dugu Yan in such a disheveled state, Little Fairy Doctor felt a surge of anger, even though she and Dugu Yan had only just met...

"Yanyan, are you alright?"

Ye Lingling anxiously approached Dugu Yan's side.

"I'm fine." Dugu Yan shook her head, a bitter smile appearing on her lips. Seeing that the food on the table hadn't been touched, she continued.

"By the way, Miss Ji, Lingling, why haven't you eaten anything? Didn't I tell you not to wait for me?"

"Is it because it doesn't suit your taste?"

"Then I'll go downstairs and buy some more."

Little Fairy Doctor clenched her fists at her sides.

She became even angrier.

Before she could say anything, Dugu Yan let out a muffled groan and slumped forward.

"Yan Yan!"

Ye Lingling rushed forward and caught her before she landed.

The person in her arms continued to slide downwards uncontrollably, without any strength to support her.

"I...I'm fine..." Dugu Yan managed to say, her voice even more hoarse, "It's just that my old problem...has flared up again..."

If Dugu Bo were here, he would probably have already made Yu Tianheng pay the price no matter what.

"Don't speak." Ye Lingling gently stopped her, her tone gentle but leaving no room for argument, her eyes filled with tenderness.

With the combined efforts of Xiao Yixian, the two successfully carried Dugu Yan to the bed.

On the wooden bed, Dugu Yan was in extreme pain, constantly groaning in agony, but she was afraid that Ye Lingling would worry and so she kept enduring it.

The excruciating pain caused her to break out in a cold sweat, and in no time, the entire bed was soaked with her sweat.

The venom of the Azure Serpent backfires...

The Fairy Doctor's expression was complicated; she hadn't expected that she would actually find an opportunity tonight.

Without further hesitation, she immediately sat down beside the bed and placed her fingers under Dugu Yan's wrist to take his pulse.

"It's no use." Ye Lingling shook her head. "Even my grandfather, Grandpa Dugu, is at a loss with Yan Yan's old problem. Miss Ji, there's no need for you to do this."

Little Fairy Doctor didn't say anything, she just smiled, and she knew that Ye Lingling didn't mean to mock her.
