"I think you two are simply looking for trouble, right? Do you even see what kind of place this is?"
A short store clerk was provoked by Dugu Yan's words and retorted fiercely.
"You two students, always shouting about fighting and killing! Do you think we grew up being scared?!
Let me tell you, our boss is a Hun Sheng-level powerhouse. In the store, there are also seven or eight Hun Di and Hun Wang-level bodyguards!
If you really want to cause trouble, even if your elders come here, they would have no return!"
Another tall clerk wanted to call for help, planning to properly teach Lin Yun and Dugu Yan a lesson.
Seeing the two clerks furious, Lin Yun only found it amusing.
A mere Hun Sheng and Hun Di level, daring to flex in front of Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng?
His eyes turned, lips lifting with a meaningful smile, and he spoke to them:
"Go call your manager and all your bodyguards. This matter isn't something you two clerks can handle.
Her grandfather is named Dugu Bo. Maybe you don't know who that is, but he has a very loud title — Du Douluo. You must have heard of him, right?"
The two clerks shivered on the spot and subconsciously knelt before Dugu Yan, trembling.
Dugu Yan's grandfather, Du Douluo — even they knew his thunderous name.
Especially since he excelled at poison — even on battlefields of hundreds of thousands, he could easily poison-kill anyone below Hun Douluo level…
They never expected this little girl's grandfather to be such a well-known existence throughout the Heaven Dou Empire.
Facing such a level, even a hundred Hun Sheng bosses would surely die.
Dugu Yan shot them a cold glance, scaring the two so much they didn't dare even breathe loudly.
Lin Yun pointed at the taller clerk and urged:
"Go call your boss. This matter needs a proper explanation, right?
Or do you want Du Douluo to personally come for you?"
The two clerks looked at each other, completely lost in panic.
They knew this matter wouldn't be easy to resolve.
If they didn't handle it properly, next year today might be their death anniversary.
The taller clerk quickly got up and ran to call the boss and other staff.
Lin Yun slowly walked to the shorter clerk, wanting to help him up.
But that clerk refused to stand no matter what.
Clearly the name Du Douluo frightened him more than his personal dignity; compared to his life, pride meant nothing.
Lin Yun grabbed his arm and pulled him up.
"Brother, ever heard these two sayings? A man's knees hold gold! Rather die standing than live kneeling!
If you kneel like this, not only will no one forgive you, you'll only be looked down upon.
A man does not kneel to the heavens above nor the earth below — only to the parents who gave him life. Understand?"
Lin Yun's words made the clerk fall silent, and Dugu Yan's eyes shone with amazement beside him.
But she was still furious over her lost pet.
Feeling some guilt, Lin Yun gently hugged Dugu Yan and softly comforted her:
"Yan'er, don't worry. That little guy is clever, lively, and adorable.
Even if we can't find it now, we'll meet again sooner or later.
Maybe it missed home and returned to the forest, or maybe it went back to its original owner."
After Lin Yun's comfort, the coldness in Dugu Yan's eyes faded. She said to the clerk:
"Kneeling for what? I just asked you to give me an explanation. Do I look like an unreasonable person?"
After a few minutes, the store owner and all employees arrived in front of Dugu Yan.
The boss was filled with anger and started cursing the two staff members.
They actually lost a customer's pet entrusted to the store — an absolute taboo.
What's worse, this customer was the granddaughter of a Titled Douluo.
A Douluo is a Douluo — none can be underestimated.
Even the weakest Titled Douluo could crush them like ants.
After discussion, everyone went into the warehouse to search carefully.
But they couldn't even find a single mink hair, let alone the Tianxue Diao.
Lin Yun of course knew they would never find it — after all, Tianxue Diao was one of his forms.
If these guys could find him, that would truly be supernatural.
After tormenting themselves the entire afternoon, in the end — through Lin Yun's persuasion and negotiation with the store owner —
Dugu Yan gave up continuing the search for Tianxue Diao.
As compensation, the three couples outfits she and Lin Yun tried on earlier were given to them, and each of them received ten thousand jin hunbi.
Of course, Dugu Yan didn't care about jin hunbi, she never lacked money.
But after Lin Yun's persistent persuasion, she finally agreed through gritted teeth.
However, she now had a headache — she didn't know how to explain this to her grandfather.
After leaving the store, it was already dark. Lin Yun called a carriage to send Dugu Yan home first.
Of course, his current human identity was Yu Tianheng. He couldn't just leave Dugu Yan alone in the carriage.
He planned to personally accompany her to the Luori Forest.
After sending her back, he would return to the Crown Prince's residence to avoid making Qian Renxue anxious.
However, at the Crown Prince's mansion, Qian Renxue noticed her pet hadn't returned and grew extremely anxious.
Unable to sit still, she sent her people to investigate nearby streets.
At last, Heaven rewarded effort — they found that a snow-white mink-type soul beast had been wandering earlier.
It was blocked by Xue Beng's carriage, and more than ten strong men captured it and gave it to Du Douluo.
When this news reached Qian Renxue, she became furious.
Earlier at court, Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng had tried to push blame on her — she endured that.
But now even her only gift from her mother was taken and given away by Xue Beng!
Murderous intent filled Qian Renxue's eyes. This, she absolutely could not tolerate! Too much bullying!
"Good. Very good! Royal brother, you actually dared capture my pet and give it away.
Don't blame me for being impolite! Someone! Prepare the carriage! This crown prince will personally go find Xue Beng and Du Douluo!"
