Melee archer with maxed-out Douluo luck

Chapter 78 I never expected that you, Dugu Yan, are actually a fan of Bibi Dong.

It wasn't until evening that Han Li finally came to his senses and stopped cultivating.

Well, I was just hungry. That's the downside of Douluo Continent. Take Guang Ling, for example. Even though he's already a titled figure, he still has to eat on time every day, and his appetite is quite enormous.

Patting his empty stomach, Han Li headed towards the top of the platform.

As soon as he went up, he smelled the fragrance; Guangling and Dugu Yan were already there.

"Where is the senior?" Han Li asked casually.

"Grandpa said there's a kind of soul beast nearby whose meat is very delicious. He went to catch it and prepare it. He should be back soon," Dugu Yan replied without looking up.

No sooner had she finished speaking than Dugu Bo's voice rang out from mid-air: "I'm back. Didn't you wait long?"

"Your return is just in time, senior. I had just finished my cultivation," Han Li replied with a smile.

"Perfect timing! How about trying this venison? I just caught a small one today, so you can see my cooking skills."

Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow at the master and apprentice, indicating that he would do it himself.

During the casual conversation, dinner became quite lively.

Yes, Han Li confirms that Dugu Bo's cooking skills are indeed quite good; it can be described as delicious.

After dinner, the four of them did not leave. Instead, they moved four deck chairs, lay down, and leisurely enjoyed the evening breeze and admired the starry night sky.

"Senior, Master has brought the secret medicine today. I'll prepare to take it for Sister Yan tomorrow," Han Li said, turning to Dugu Bo on his left.

"Is there anything I can do for you? Please let me know," Dugu Bo replied, straightening up slightly.

"No, there's no risk involved. At most, it might just taste a little off."

"Well, you should prepare in advance. After taking the secret medicine, Sister Yan will probably need to take a bath immediately, so you'd better prepare plenty of bathwater," Han Li said with a smile, as if he had just thought of something.

"Okay, no problem," Dugu Bo said, indicating it was a trivial matter.

"By the way, senior, once Sister Yan's martial soul evolves, my master and I will probably be preparing to leave. My third spirit ring has also been secured, and I'll most likely be going to the Star Dou Great Forest. I wonder what your plans are?"

Han Li asked casually, as if they were having a casual chat.

Upon hearing his words, Dugu Bo and his grandson were stunned for a moment, then exchanged a glance. They had been so excited lately that they had forgotten to consider this issue.

"Are you going straight back to Wuhun City after this?" Dugu Bo sat up.

"That's right. We've been out for quite a while this time, it's time to go back."

Guangling lazily interjected, making her stance clear.

"Yes, I think the same as my master. Tian Dou is good, but it's not a place for us to stay for long," Han Li echoed.

Dugu Bo did not answer immediately, but glanced at his granddaughter, then at Han Li, and fell into deep thought.

After a long pause, Dugu Bo finally spoke again.

"Xiao Li, logically speaking, since I've decided to follow you, I should go to Wuhun City with you. I don't really have any attachment to the Heaven Dou Empire. It's just some property here, and it's not that important."

"But I still owe a considerable favor here that I need to repay. How about this, let Yanyan come with you first, for a year at most, no, six months. I'll find a way to pay off the favor, and then she can come over. What do you think?"

Dugu Bo spoke tentatively.

"You can decide that yourself, senior. We agreed before that you are only responsible for protecting me, and there's no need to mention the matter of followers. I won't restrict your personal freedom. Besides, when I return to Wuhun City, what danger will there be? No rush, you can take your time with your business."

"As for Sister Yan..."

Han Li leaned back, meeting Dugu Yan's gaze as she looked at him after hearing his words. He smiled and asked, "Sister Yan, what are your thoughts? Are you coming back to Wuhun City with me, or will you go with the senior?"

"I'll go with you. I'll join the Spirit Hall then."

Dugu Yan's concise answer surprised Han Li.

Seemingly noticing his surprise, Dugu Yan continued, "Actually, I've wanted to visit Spirit City for a long time. I heard that the current Pope is a woman, and I want to see her in person. I was even planning to join the Spirit Hall Academy; the people in the Heaven Dou Empire are just too weak. But my grandfather told me that he has a mortal enemy in the Spirit Hall, which stopped me."

After saying that, she glanced at Dugu Bo, who was smiling sheepishly, but Dugu Bo did not object to her decision.

Huh? I didn't expect you, Dugu Yan, to be a fan of Bibi Dong.

However, Han Li quickly realized what was going on and chuckled. It was actually quite reasonable. There were relatively few powerful female soul masters on the continent, and Bibi Dong was one of the top experts in the world, as well as the Pope of the Spirit Hall. It was not surprising that Dugu Yan had this idea.

Unfortunately, I'm sorry to disappoint you, but once you choose to stand by my side, Bibi Dong won't give you a friendly look.

"Okay, then Sister Yan, come with us to Wuhun City. If you want to go to the academy, I'll have someone send you there when I get back," Han Li readily replied.

"Huh? Aren't you coming to the academy with me?" Dugu Yan looked at him in surprise.

"Academy? Come to think of it, I've only visited it, never attended, and have no desire to."

Han Li shifted to a more comfortable position and said contentedly.

"So how do you usually cultivate? Do you always do it at home?" Dugu Yan asked curiously.

"Yes, Master has specially created a simulated environment for my cultivation, and there are also dedicated personnel responsible for learning various kinds of knowledge. At my current learning pace, as long as my cultivation level increases, I can graduate from the academy at any time. In terms of actual combat, I also have Master and senior uncles to spar with."

"I have everything the academy has, and I also have things the academy doesn't have, so what's the point of going to the academy?"

"Oh, right, I also have an older sister who I grew up with. When we get to Wuhun City, I'll introduce you to her. If you're going to the academy, you can try to persuade her to come along, so she won't just bury herself in cultivation all day."

Han Li squinted slightly, feeling the wind blowing across his face, and casually answered her question.

"Your cultivation conditions are so good, no wonder you don't want to go to the academy."

Dugu Yan said with some envy that her family originally had a simulated cultivation place, but after her father passed away, Dugu Bo ordered it to be sealed off.

In addition, although Dugu Bo was not poor, he was certainly not rich either, since his methods were not very suitable for making money, and he refused to submit to any faction.

Supporting her cultivation is no problem, but creating a separate simulated environment for her is unrealistic.

That's why, despite having a grandfather with a title, she chose to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, mainly to utilize its simulated environment for cultivation.

"Well, when Sister Yan arrives in Wuhun City, she can share these resources with me. I can't possibly use them all by myself anyway. If it's not suitable, I can always spend money to have a new simulated environment built for you," Han Li said generously.

Are the Spirit Hall really that rich? They even give you a simulated environment just for joining?

Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan both showed surprised expressions, looking at the master and disciple in the same posture on the recliner as if they were looking at gold soul coins.

Guangling noticed their gazes, opened her eyes, and said in an annoyed tone:

"What are you thinking? Xiao Li means he can spend his own money to create a simulated environment for you."
