Chapter 51 Feeding my granddaughter whale glue?! I'll fight you to the death!
"I..."
Shui Jing hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
With the example of Dugu Lin's two purple soul rings before his eyes, he couldn't help but believe that Dugu Bo's method could achieve the first and second rings in a thousand years!
The best soul ring configuration, passed down for tens of thousands of years, had been broken, which would inevitably cause a huge uproar!
Shui Jing naturally wanted his Shui clan to be among the first to benefit!
However!
Such an important secret, Shui Jing could easily imagine the stakes involved and the enormous price his family would have to pay!
Were they just going to stand still and watch other families take off?
Or should they go with the flow and follow their in-laws?
By acquiring the secrets, a solid foundation would be laid for the family's descendants, and in the future, the birth of a Douluo within the family would be just around the corner! From then on, the Shui Clan would become a power comparable to the three upper sects!
Shui Jing glanced at Shui Bing'er and saw his granddaughter blinking her adorable eyes, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Phew~"
Shui Jing frowned and pondered for a long time before finally exhaling deeply and saying, "Old Poisoner, what price do you want me to pay? Anything I have, I'll give!"
"Haha~ Just hearing that is enough!"
Dugu Bo didn't want much, just a granddaughter-in-law and a deep connection between the two families!
All that was needed was to get the Shui clan, the Dugu clan, and Qian Renxue on the same side. As for anything else, what was there for Dugu Bo, a level 95 Title Douluo, to scheme for?
Seeing that Dugu Bo agreed and did not make any conditions, Shui Jing was overjoyed!
Immediately, Shui Jing changed his previous sarcastic attitude and cupped his hands, saying, "Poison Douluo, let Bing'er obtain a second soul ring of the millennium first! From now on, our two families will be one family, and the matter of Bing'er and your grandson will be settled!"
Even his title had changed from "Old Monster" to "Poison Douluo".
"Grandpa~~"
Shui Bing'er tugged at her grandfather's sleeve, acting coquettishly, and puffed out her cheeks, looking somewhat unhappy.
"Bing'er, Grandpa is doing this for your own good! Dugu Lin is handsome, exceptionally talented, and has a Title Douluo grandpa. He's a perfect match for you!"
"Grandpa! Humph~ I'm ignoring you!"
Shui Bing'er gave a reproachful snort, then subconsciously glanced at Dugu Lin, thinking to herself, 'How could Grandpa agree to this marriage? I... I don't even know him that well!'
Shui Bing'er was eight and a half years old. Although she was still a child, she had begun to experience the adult world and knew what the second soul ring of the millennium meant! She also knew that her grandfather and Grandpa Dugu had just reached an agreement! She also understood that the betrothal between her and Dugu Lin would not change!
Dugu Lin was her future husband!
Humans are attracted to strength, especially in marital relationships, where their senses are more easily affected.
At this moment, when she looked at Dugu Lin again, her mindset suddenly changed!
Shui Bing'er's initial surprise, resistance, and unhappiness had now left a deep impression on her: a young genius!
And he was a handsome genius!
'So handsome...'
Shui Bing'er had a half-sister of the same age, Shui Yu'er. Shui Yu'er was very mature in matters of the heart and was also a sucker for good looks, constantly telling Shui Bing'er how handsome this person was and how pretty that person was.
At that moment, Shui Bing'er was completely unaware that she herself had suddenly had an epiphany!
She stared intently at Dugu Lin's face for a long while... Suddenly! Shui Bing'er realized that Dugu Lin was also looking at her!
Swish! Shui Bing'er reacted as if electrocuted, instantly averting her gaze, her pretty face flushing slightly! Her little heart pounded—a little flustered.
It is said that the blush on a young girl's cheeks is the most beautiful love confession.
Dugu Lin was thinking that once the two families officially formed an alliance, he would give the immortal herb to Shui Bing'er.
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, his face full of satisfaction, and thought to himself, "It's settled!"
Shui Jing chuckled and shook his head, thinking to himself, "A young genius, not bad matched with Bing'er! That forced marriage back then actually turned out to be a happy union! Life is unpredictable~"
A moment later.
Dugu Bo took out a tent from his storage soul tool and said, "Little Bing'er, you will be refining the medicine I gave you in the tent in a while. The refining process will take a while, and the effects of the medicine will raise your body temperature, but there will be no danger. Just keep refining, understand?"
"Yes, thank you, Grandpa Dugu. Bing'er will remember this."
Shui Bing'er thanked him, but her eyes involuntarily glanced at Dugu Lin.
Dugu Lin asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Shui Bing'er said quickly, her voice weak and her eyes slightly evasive.
Soon, Dugu Bo melted a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue with his powerful soul force, and took out one-third of it to give to Shui Bing'er.
Shui Jing was completely stunned!
He scratched his head, momentarily stunned. When he finally came to his senses, his bloodshot eyes widened, and he roared, "Old Poisoner! You...you...you old bastard! Don't think that just because you're a Title Douluo, I won't fight you to the death!"
When Dugu Bo took out the whale glue, he had anticipated this turn of events.
Three years ago, the year Meng Yiran awakened her martial soul, Dugu Bo had made a deal with the Dragon and Snake family, and they had a similar reaction.
Because no one could stand by and watch their granddaughter be fed whale glue!
Can you really take this damn potent medicine in big gulps?
Even nobles only scrape off a tiny bit of powder each time!
Shui Bing'er blinked her big eyes and asked, "Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Shui Jing's nostrils were steaming, and all eight of his soul rings were released. The Jade Dolphin spirit on his back let out a high-pitched cry, as if he wanted to fight to the death!
"Come on, just be quiet for a bit!"
Dugu Bo shook his head speechlessly, then patiently explained, "Old man Shui, I know what you're thinking, but am I that kind of person? Would I joke like that in front of you? Five years ago, I discovered another value of whale glue! It can greatly improve a Soul Master's physical attributes! My grandson and granddaughter have both eaten it, and they've eaten a lot of it!"
Dugu Lin: "Yes, I've eaten a lot."
Shui Jing's breathing was a little heavy; that was from the anger!
However, after Dugu Bo finished speaking, Shui Jing pondered his words with some skepticism. The more he thought about it, the more reasonable Dugu Bo seemed.
After calming down a bit, Shui Jing put away his martial soul and soul rings, and asked, "Are you really not joking?"
Dugu Bo smiled and said, "Do you still remember the rumors about me in Heaven Dou City five years ago?"
"A rumor from five years ago..."
Five years ago, there were some unpleasant rumors in Heaven Dou City about Dugu Bo wanting to have another son!
Shui Jing paused, then frowned, looking at Dugu Bo with a strange expression, and tentatively asked, "So, this is why you're willing to bear the stigma?"
Dugu Bo shrugged helplessly and said, "Do you know what price a piece of ten-thousand-year-old whale glue can fetch once the news gets out?"
Shui Jing opened his mouth, about to speak, but then shook his head and said, "If it can really improve a Soul Master's physical attributes, then... the price of whale glue will be immeasurable!"
"Five years ago, I went to a coastal city and spent half a year and nearly two million gold soul coins to acquire countless millennia-old and ten-thousand-year-old whale glue! There were even top-quality whale glue!"
At this point, Dugu Bo also became somewhat excited and continued, "Do you know? Once everyone knows about the effects of whale glue, the whale glue in my possession can sell for at least one hundred million gold soul coins!"
