Chapter 40

Li Fei brought Dugu Bo into the rear garden, interrupting Flandre and Liu Erlong who were showing off their love, and proactively introduced Dugu Bo to the two.

Upon hearing that Dugu Bo would become Li Fei's guardian, the two were both shocked and delighted.

They also admired Li Fei's methods, wondering how he could make a Title Douluo willingly become a guardian.

Li Fei didn't say, Dugu Bo didn't say, and the two of them also lacked the courage to ask.

With a Title Douluo added to their side, their lineup would also become even stronger.

Having a Title Douluo, the Li family's businesses could later be a bit bolder, more quickly win over people's hearts, and establish a vast relationship network and underground empire belonging to the Li family.

The Li family's principle is: if they can stay out of the spotlight, they will stay out of the spotlight, leaving everything to external spokespersons to handle.

Only then can the Li family be safer.

After all, the waters of this world are still quite deep.

Spokespersons are what are colloquially called fall guys.

In the future, the Li family will use their vast network and funds to support a puppet regime to rise, seize control of the Tian Dou Empire, and even the Star Luo Empire and the Spirit Hall.

Of course, this is for later; one must eat bite by bite, cannot rush.

Otherwise, misplacing a single piece will cause the whole board to lose!

In the original work, Qian Renxue's failure is the best lesson and example.

Li Fei absolutely will not allow the Li family to take that path.

The Spirit Hall is vast, with many Title Douluo, a strong foundation; losing is losing, not a big problem.

But the Li family cannot.

Even a single Title Douluo cannot overturn the heavens.

Everything needs to be done discreetly.

After returning this time, he plans to have the Li family operate behind the scenes, stay low-key, and minimize the Li family's external reputation.

To become completely the helmsman in the darkness.

"Next, I will take the little monster to Sunset Forest to hunt for the fourth soul ring; you don't need to follow, just stay here properly." Dugu Bo said slowly.

Nowadays everyone is on the same front, so he is not so cold toward the two.

"I didn't expect to reach rank forty so quickly; truly a monster!"

"With Your Excellency this Title Douluo here, we indeed don't need to follow along." Flandre and Liu Erlong were first shocked, then agreed.

Before leaving, Li Fei told the two about Tyrone and Taino, warning them to be careful of Titan's retaliation.

Upon hearing that Li Fei, with forty soul power, defeated an old Soul Ancestor of rank forty-nine, and after learning of Li Fei's talent, they were not overly surprised.

After all, Li Fei had given them too many surprises.

Liu Erlong snorted coldly and said, "Rest assured, Titan that old coot is already this old; he probably won't shamelessly show up. If he really comes, we don't need to fear him either, this is Tian Dou City, and if we really provoke him, he won't come out well either."

"Hmm, if he really comes, you just report my name."

"If she won't listen to advice, when I return I'll also visit their clan first thing."

Dugu Bo heard this, and a flash of cold light passed through his eyes.

"Thank you, Your Excellency!"

Liu Erlong immediately accepted this favor.

After all, this is a Title Douluo.

Subsequently, Dugu Bo and Li Fei set off, flying toward Sunset Forest.

"Old Poisonous One, what is your cultivation now?" Li Fei asked curiously.

"Last night I completed a breakthrough, reaching rank ninety-three." "Moreover, I sensed that after my martial soul transformed into a flood dragon, my cultivation aptitude also increased."

Dugu Bo laughed heartily.

Li Fei thought it over and secretly nodded.

In the original work, Dugu Bo had long been stuck at rank ninety-three, unable to advance an inch; now with his help, his cultivation also saw rapid improvement.

He was pondering whether to give Dugu Bo a drop of heart's blood.

Let his martial soul transform into a dragon; then breaking through to rank ninety-five in the future would be easy.

The stronger Dugu Bo is, the better it is for the Li family.

"If that's the case, then I should start planning to win over Du Gu Yan; to obtain my heart's blood, one must be a member of my Li family." Li Fei thought inwardly.

Such a person of the Li family is naturally not like joining Shrek Academy.

But rather truly to establish a bloodline connection with the Li family.

"Old Poisonous One, I suddenly became interested in your granddaughter; when can you introduce us to meet? To deepen our feelings?" Li Fei suddenly said, catching Dugu Bo off guard.

"You brat, changed your mind? Didn't you say you weren't interested in women?" Dugu Bo said somewhat unexpectedly.

The opponent is such a monster, a six-year-old rank forty Soul Ancestor; becoming a Title Douluo in the future is already a certainty. If he could bond with his granddaughter, thoroughly tying them together, he would also be very willing to see that.

Moreover, he is very satisfied with every aspect of Li Fei.

He is the most suitable choice! "Now that I'm interested, wealth shouldn't flow to outsiders' fields, right?" Li Fei chuckled lightly.

"Haha, good, after I finish gathering in, I'll take you to see my precious granddaughter; you need to act quickly, while Yan Yan hasn't yet become too close with her current partner, to seize her."

"That person is Yu Tianheng, backed by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect, and his status is not low; aren't you afraid?"

Dugu Bo was very pleased to see this scene.

"Not afraid, just snatching his woman; at worst we fight one battle, he definitely isn't my opponent—could the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect really throw away face and come out to kill me?" Li Fei shook his head.

"However, Old Poisonous One, is your granddaughter still pure? You should know we place great importance on that." Li Fei said.

Dugu Bo's face darkened: "Rest assured, I personally felt her bones last night; she's very clean, very pure! So you brat need to act quickly; best to directly turn raw rice into cooked rice—after all, nobody would think you're six given your build; they'd only think you're over ten."

"I don't recall, I'm still young; let's talk about it when I'm grown." Li Fei felt somewhat speechless.

"Good fellow, you old poisonous one just handed over your precious granddaughter to me like that?" "Perhaps perhaps, I was too hasty; for now, let you two cultivate your feelings first; if you really become a couple, I'll go to the Tian Dou Royal Academy to handle Yan Yan's withdrawal from school, so she can cultivate with you and deepen your feelings." Dugu Bo said.

"All right." Li Fei nodded in agreement.

While chatting, time passed, and without realizing it, the two had already entered the Sunset Forest located within Heavenly Fight City.

"Although the Sunset Forest isn't as large as the Star Dou Great Forest, its area ranks third, and while its species aren't as rich as those of the Star Dou Great Forest, there are still many."

"How many years' worth are you planning to absorb for your fourth spirit ring?"

Dugu Bo asked curiously.

"A dragon-type spirit beast of sixty to seventy thousand years, or one with dragon bloodline." Li Fei said.

Dugu Bo came to a sudden halt after hearing that.

"What!!"

"You want to absorb something that high-level?"

"At this level, even a Title Douluo can absorb it, and a Spirit Douluo can absorb the most!"

Dugu Bo clicked his tongue.

This guy really isn't afraid of dying from overexertion! He's really bold!
