Heaven Dou Empire,
Outside the Sunset Forest.
A young looking man with greenish silver white hair with his face 7 points similar to the Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, is seen waiting outside the Sunset Forest.
'I wonder when the Young Master will arrive. I have been waiting here since morning. If Young Master doesn't come soon, my silly little girl will complain about not accompanying her.' The young man thought.
Just as he was lost in his thoughts, a carriage arrived and stopped near him.
People started descending the carriage one by one from old to young. He gulped audibly as he felt their Aura, especially the young girl, from whom he felt the bloodline suppression.
But the moment the young man saw the teenage looking boy in front of him, his eyes lit up with fanaticism.
"Young Master, you are here." He spoke up to the young boy with respect and reverence in his tone.
The boy looked at him in confusion at first and then seeing the hair colour and his face resembling the Poison Douluo he asked in surprise. "You are Old Poison's son?"
"What is your name?" He asked curiously.
The young man nodded like chicken pecking at rice and replied.
"This lowly servant's name is Dugu Xin, Young Master."
"Drop the Young Master, and call me Prince Tianlong or Prince Tian instead." Hanrui said, feeling exasperated.
'I don't want to get the "Young Master Syndrome". So please don't call me that.' He pleaded in his mind.
Dugu Xin nodded his head and sought permission to lead the way.
Hanrui nodded his head and said "lead the way."
Dugu Xin turned around and walked ahead as Hanrui and the gang followed him.
After a short journey along the winding pathways they reached a cave entrance covered with poisonous miasma.
Dugu Xin was just about to share the antidote when he noticed the miasma shift and made a pathway for people to enter.
Confused, he looked back and saw the warrior Princess using her soul power to control the wind and felt stunned.
He shook his head helplessly and invited them inside.
Though the surroundings seemed unremarkable as that went inside, especially with the walls covered in grass.
There is a mansion hidden in the cave, surprising Hanrui's group.
"Master Hanrui, you are here." A voice said before the person appeared.
Dugu Bo bowed in respect to Hanrui as he invited them inside.
"Welcome to my humble adobe, Master.
Would you like to rest or go directly to the herb garden?" He asked.
"Not bad, Old Poison. You successfully leveled up. Congratulations on reaching level 96." He complimented him, showing no hurry to choose.
Dugu Bo beamed, hearing the compliment and tried to stay humble though his face says otherwise. "It's Thanks to the help of the Master, giving the Void Stone. Or I would still be cultivating slowly. He said.
Hanrui looked at him with a smirk but didn't expose him, instead ordered him to take them to the herb garden.
"We can rest later, let's finish the business first. Take us to the herb garden, Old Poison." He said.
Dugu Bo nodded his head and took them to the herb garden while Dugu Xin went back home to accompany his daughter.
…
Dugu bo led Hanrui and others into a clearing and took out a token with a dragon pattern similar to the Hanrui's Martial Soul XiaoLong and struck it on a stone pillar.
Instantly the invisible barrier covering the area is lifted and revealed a lush and spirited garden. Which is filled with Heavenly Treasures.
While others looked on in surprise Hanrui looked at the scene a little puzzled, feeling something off.
'Were there this many Immortal Herbs in the Original? I can practically sense some of their cultivation which reached the 100, 000 year mark and just short of lightning trail.
Even the air feels different, like it is filled with life. Had my future self done some renovations perhaps?' He thought.
Just as he was thinking, two light spheres, one red and one blue-white appeared from the distance and hovered around Gu Yuena, completely ignoring others at the scene.
"Lord Silver Dragon King, we pay our respects." Two voices said simultaneously from the light spheres.
"Fire Dragon King, Ice Dragon King, glad to see your souls are intact even after all these years." Gu Yuena said with a faint tenderness in her voice as she spoke to her subjects.
"This…" they hesitated for a split second but in the end bit the bullet and continued "Master, it was actually because of a human who made a deal with us.
He not only restored a part of our souls, he even preserved us so we don't dissipate."
'Did we make the right choice? Confessing to the Master? Will she blame us?' They thought, feeling scared and confused, seeing her silent.
