Chapter 29: with translation of chapter title

Geez, what are you yelling for early in the morning? Not letting people sleep?

Bai Ran was full of morning grumpiness.

If this were inside the academy, he would surely make the noisy ones know what it means to have an uncle who is a high‑ranking academy official.

Hey, wait, why is Yu Tianheng kneeling on the ground?

Through the window of the small wooden hut,

Bai Ran saw that Du Gu Bo, this Poison Douluo, was reprimanding Yu Tianheng as if he were scolding his own grandson.

Well, given the relationship between Du Gu Yan and Yu Tianheng, Du Gu Bo's reprimand is not wrong.

But capturing the young Sect Leader of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and bringing him here—doesn't Du Gu Bo fear the family's strong ones?

……

Speaking of which, outside Tian Dou City last night, two Title Douluo‑level powerhouses were about to clash.

Upon learning that his grandson had been seized by Du Gu Bo, that old poisonous thing, Yu Yuan Zhen was furious.

As a Title Douluo, disregarding martial ethics and snatching his grandson outright—aren't you slighting the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, one of the Upper Three Sects? Moreover, since Du Gu Bo reached Title Douluo, his soul power has stalled at rank ninety‑one, and among Title Douluo he's been mocked as the weakest.

Yu Yuan Zhen couldn't understand where Du Gu Bo got the audacity to do this.

Yu Yuan Zhen: Rank 95 versus rank 91, the advantage is mine.

Thus, as Du Gu Bo carried the unconscious Yu Tianheng and had just left Tian Dou City,

Upon hearing the news, Yu Yuan Zhen rushed over immediately and intercepted this Poison Douluo.

"Poison Douluo, even if you are an honorary guest of the imperial royal family, I won't let you off easily."

Yu Yuan Zhen declared, yellow‑yellow‑purple‑purple‑black‑black‑black‑black‑black, the standard nine soul rings flared, the overbearing Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul paired with thick rank‑95 soul power—just that aura meant non‑Title Douluo soul masters weren't even worthy to lift their heads to look at him.

"Heh, Thunder Douluo, you looking to have a go?"

If it had been a few days ago, when the Poison Douluo's soul power was only rank 91, Du Gu Bo wouldn't have dared to speak so arrogantly under this pressure.

But now, both being rank‑95 Title Douluo, who's afraid of whom?

"Old poisonous thing, did you take the wrong medicine and mess up your brain?"

Yu Yuan Zhen had heard that this Poison Douluo often studies various poisons and likes to test them on himself; now this behavior clearly shows he took the wrong medicine and messed up his brain.

"Yu Yuan Zhen, is 'Old Poisonous Thing' a name you can call?"

Du Gu Bo declared, yellow‑yellow‑purple‑purple‑black‑black‑black‑black‑black nine soul rings rose from his body—equal to a rank‑95 Title Douluo's strength, and the depth of his soul power seemed somewhat greater than Yu Yuan Zhen's.

"Poison Douluo, you've broken through!"

Yu Yuan Zhen said in disbelief.

Although between Title Douluo it's generally hard to settle a life‑and‑death match,

but a rank‑95 Title Douluo can still, thanks to soul‑power superiority, after sustaining heavy injury, kill a rank‑91 Title Douluo on the spot.

Yu Yuan Zhen had already figured it out before coming: if Du Gu Bo truly meant harm to his grandson,

he would, even at the cost of heavy injury, see to it that this old poisonous thing be subdued and killed on the spot.

However, Du Gu Bo's soul power has now broken through to rank 95.

Once they fight, unless they trade blows, Yu Yuan Zhen can be absolutely certain he cannot kill him.

But if they trade blows, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family currently has only him as a Title Douluo; if Yu Yuan Zhen falls, the family will immediately drop from the Upper Three Sects, and until a new Title Douluo appears they'll only be fit to sit at the table with the Lower Four Sects.

If they don't trade blows, given Du Gu Bo's ability, aside from the Title Douluo, no one in the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family will survive.

Therefore, Yu Yuan Zhen hastily withdrew his soul‑power pressure on Du Gu Bo, and his originally arrogant attitude eased somewhat.

"What's up, old man—does my breakthrough surprise you that much?"

Seeing Yu Yuan Zhen withdraw his soul‑power pressure, Du Gu Bo actually felt a little pleased inside.

Du Gu Bo: "Hmph, old man, I'm quite strong now, right? As the Sect Leader of one of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, you don't dare speak loudly in front of me." Yu Yuan Zhen: "Hey, old brother Du Gu Bo, I don't know what you're doing with my grandson."

Could it be that Tianheng has offended you somewhere?

Tell me, and I'll definitely help you educate him properly.

One can only say that once you have strength, things are different.

If Du Gu Bo were still that weakest rank‑91 Title Douluo, Yu Yuan Zhen would probably have already smacked him with a dragon claw.

"Your grandson hooked up with my granddaughter."

Du Gu Bo said, and glanced again at the unconscious Yu Tianheng.

If it weren't for fear of making Yan Yan sad, he'd probably have already used some means to torture this little blond.

"Ah, old brother Du Gu Bo, look at what you're saying—kids liking each other isn't that great?"

"Besides, back when we were fifteen or sixteen, we were already married and had kids."

"Your grandson slept with my granddaughter."

"Ah..."

Actually, in Yu Yuan Zhen's heart, his precious grandson sleeping with your granddaughter means his grandson thinks highly of your granddaughter.

But now Du Gu Bo's fist is bigger than his, so Yu Yuan Zhen naturally dares not utter such remarks.

"Don't waste my breath, I'm furious—if you don't want me to go to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family and blow up at you, then don't provoke me."

Under the circumstances, Yu Yuan Zhen didn't continue to block Du Gu Bo.

However, out of concern for his grandson's safety,

Yu Yuan Zhen still closely followed behind Du Gu Bo.

"If you keep following me, I'll throw your grandson into the Sunset Forest to feed the soul beasts!"

The Ice and Fire Yin‑Yang Eyes, that kind of treasure land, Du Gu Bo doesn't want Yu Yuan Zhen to know.

Moreover, that little guy Bai Ran is also there; if Yu Yuan Zhen happened to discover that talent, he might take him back to recruit into the family, and Du Gu Bo would have trouble explaining to Prince Xue Xing.

Who let the empire, in the eyes of the Upper Three Sects, be like a soft persimmon that can be pinched anytime, anywhere.

Yu Yuan Zhen really wanted to recruit an imperial talent into the family; does the Tian Dou Empire's royal family have any objections? 'Fine, fine, fine, I'm not following you anymore, Lao Du Wu, but you have to guarantee my grandson's safety.'

There were also a lot of matters to handle within the family, and Yu Yuan Zhen really didn't have time to accompany Du Gu Bo in wandering around the Sunset Forest.

'Don't worry, you won't die.'

Du Gu Bo: 'If I really killed him, Yan Yan would probably hate me for life.'

……

After Du Gu Bo brought Yu Tianheng into the Ice Fire Yin-Yang Eye,

Just as she got up, Du Gu Yan, who was preparing breakfast, saw Yu Tianheng kneeling on the ground after being woken up, and immediately started arguing with her grandfather.

That is, the scene where Bai Ran was woken up by the noise at the beginning appeared.

'Old thing, what exactly are you trying to do?!'

'Last night I was trying to set her up with Bai Ran's little brother, and today I directly brought her Tianheng older brother over.'

'Yan Yan, I'm doing this for your own good.'

'Old thing, this is an arranged marriage, it's feudal trash; nowadays it's the era of rising women's thought, I just want to pursue my own love, what's wrong with that?!'

Du Gu Yan: 'Besides, at Bai Ran's little brother's age, aside from getting me all drooly, what else can he do? Boring.'

(Bai Ran: I feel insulted. Do you believe I will later enter, uh, no, Yan Yan sis, you won't have poison there, right? It's just the literal meaning.) Please collect, please recommend.
