Chapter 100 Dark Attribute
Staring at the key in his hand, Xia Liang stood there in a daze. In fact, Dugu Yan had given him a key to the Dugu Mansion last time.
This grandfather and granddaughter have a common problem, which is that once they trust someone, they will trust him/her to the end without any precautions.
Being able to get the key from Dugu Bo means that I have completely gained his trust.
Tiandou City, Dugu Mansion.
Just as she was about to go back to the academy, Dugu Yan suddenly saw Dugu Bo and Xia Liang walking in from the door of the mansion together.
After looking at Dugu Yan, Dugu Bo suddenly realized that today was a day off, and he should have stayed at home with his granddaughter to practice poison, but he was delayed because of absorbing the medicinal power of the earth dragon golden melon.
"Yanyan, you're back?" Dugu Bo said with a guilty conscience.
Dugu Yan didn't say anything and pounced towards Dugu Bo.
Dugu Bo was just about to open his arms and hug his granddaughter as usual, but unexpectedly, the person his granddaughter threw herself at was Xia Liang who was standing beside him.
It all happened so suddenly.
Xia Liang almost subconsciously reached out and hugged Dugu Yan into his arms, and then he reacted, "Yanyan, what are you doing?"
Inside Dugu Mansion.
In the hall, in front of the dining table.
After figuring out the whole story, Xia Liang realized that it was Dugu Yan who was moved by the scene and hugged him because they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so he couldn't help laughing.
"What's so funny?" Dugu Yan said unhappily, "You didn't even tell me that you were going out for training. If my grandfather hadn't known your whereabouts, I would have suspected that you had done something bad and left without a trace."
"Why should I tell you that I'm going out to gain experience?" Xia Liang asked with a smile.
"Because." Dugu Yan hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Because we didn't come forward to clarify the gossip in the academy, and people thought we had tacitly accepted that we were in that kind of relationship. If that's the case, then shouldn't you report to me before you go anywhere?"
"When did we tacitly acknowledge our relationship?" Xia Liang looked at Dugu Yan and said, "Didn't you reject me that night? It was you who didn't want to make things a done deal with me."
When talking about what happened that night, Dugu Yan glared at Dugu Bo who was sitting next to her with a reproachful look. At that time, she could never have imagined that her grandfather was even more anxious than she was.
Now I don't know how to end this.
Dugu Bo sighed, "If I were to tell you, the two of you should stop testing each other. Can't you see what each other is thinking? Do you have to wait for one of you to confess? Yanyan, grandpa told you a few months ago that if you don't take the initiative when this kid comes back, don't regret it if someone snatches you away."
As he spoke, Dugu Bo glared at Xia Liang and asked, "Also, boy, how long are you going to keep my granddaughter hanging?"
"Now, both of you should explain yourself in front of me. Are you friends, lovers, or enemies? Make it clear so that you don't get into trouble in the future!"
After hearing Wan's words, Xia Liang and Dugu Yan looked at each other, and both of them remained silent tacitly.
After a moment, Xia Liangcai smiled at Dugu Bo and said, "Senior, you see Yanyan and I are having a conflict here. Does it look like a couple quarreling?"
Dugu Bo understood and agreed, "Yes. Yanyan, what do you think?"
Dugu Yan looked at Xia Liang, smiled and nodded, "I think so too."
Seeing that both of them had expressed their opinions, Dugu Bo patted Xia Liang on the shoulder as if his evil plan had succeeded, with a satisfied smile on his face, "Boy, that's right. Confirm your relationship with Yanyan as soon as possible, so that I can recognize a grandson-in-law as soon as possible. You have been calling me senior before, but now it's time to change your words, right? Come on, call me grandpa and let me hear it."
Xia Liang realized it belatedly. "Senior, you forced Yanyan and I to express our opinions. Isn't it just for this purpose?"
"What else?" Dugu Bo said confidently, "When I put mental pressure on you before and you withstood it, I wanted to take you in as my apprentice, but later I found out that you and Yanyan had a special relationship. Seeing your talent and potential, I changed my mind and thought that instead of being your master, I might as well be your grandfather. How can a master be as intimate as a grandfather?"
After hearing this story, Xia Liang sighed in his heart. He had been with Dugu Bo for such a long time. Although he addressed him as a senior, he regarded Dugu Bo as a brother in his heart.
Now it was a bit awkward to call a brother grandpa. This was also the reason why he had been keeping Dugu Yan hanging without making any statement.
The next day, morning.
After coming out of Dugu Mansion, Xia Liang rushed towards the Tiandou Royal Academy outside Tiandou City. He wanted to go to the academy to ask for leave for Dugu Yan.
Dugu Yan has already taken the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng and Evergreen Oil Rattan, and is now concentrating on absorbing the medicinal properties of these two magical herbs under the care of Dugu Bo.
When Dugu Yan completely integrates the power of the two magical herbs, she will not gain new attributes like Dugu Bo, but the original poison of her Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul will be qualitatively improved.
The five-clawed dragon blood contained in the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is based on the Eastern Dragon, and it is naturally endowed with the ability to soar above the sky.
If the Green Phosphorus Snake Martial Soul successfully awakens the dragon bloodline, then Dugu Yan should be able to obtain the Eastern Dragon's soaring power in the future, and the Green Phosphorus Snake's venom mist that it spews out will turn into the breath of a poisonous dragon.
In the original novel, there is a strange species of dragon called the Evil-Breaking Dragon. It is not subject to the control of the Dragon God. It is born and raised by nature, and is formed by the righteousness of heaven and earth.
There is no poisonous dragon king among the nine dragon kings.
The evolution route of the Green Phosphorus Snake martial soul that Xia Liang gave to Dugu Yan was to use the Evil-Breaking Dragon as the prototype, and develop in the direction of the Poison Dragon King, becoming an alien poisonous dragon snake that was born and raised by nature and was not subject to the control of the Dragon God.
Back at Tiandou Royal Academy, Xia Liang walked into the Education Committee. He was about to explain to the three members of the Education Committee that Dugu Yan was kept at home by Dugu Bo for a while, but he found that the three members of the Education Committee had been summoned to the Dean's office by Prince Xue Qinghe.
After arriving at the Dean's Building and showing the gold medal given by Xue Qinghe, Xia Liang was qualified to enter the Dean's Building.
He sat on the sofa in the lobby on the first floor, waiting for the meeting between the three education committee members and Xue Qinghe to end.
It was not until noon when the school bell rang that the three education committee members, Prince Xuexing, and Xue Qinghe came down from the second floor, talking and laughing.
When he walked to the lobby on the first floor, Xue Qinghe suddenly felt a strong resonance in his body. He subconsciously looked towards the sofa and found that the person sitting there was Xia Liang, who had gone out for training a few months ago.
Xia Liang smiled politely at Xue Qinghe, then stood up and walked to the three education committee members to explain Dugu Yan's situation.
Upon learning that Dugu Yan had asked for leave, the three members of the Education Committee did not object. After speaking to Xue Qinghe for a few words, they left with Prince Xue Xing.
Xia Liang and Xue Qinghe were the only two people left in the hall.
"Brother Xia, when did you come back? You didn't even tell me in advance." Xue Qinghe looked at Xia Liang and asked tentatively, "You seem to have grown a lot during this experience. Why do you seem to have something extra?"
"Your Highness has good eyesight. My Skeleton Martial Soul is the same as the Ghost Elder of the Spirit Hall. It was originally a dark-type Martial Soul. I previously absorbed the 5,000-year-old Bone Dragon Soul Ring, which enhanced the Skeleton Martial Soul with a lot of dark elements."
At this point, Xia Liang concealed something and said, "A month ago, when I passed through the Xingdou Great Forest, under the pressure brought by the dark soul beast, my skeleton martial soul finally awakened the dark attribute by chance. The strangeness you felt in me should be the dark aura, right?"
After hearing this explanation, Xue Qinghe suddenly understood, "No wonder. Brother Xia, I want to congratulate you. The dark attribute of the dark spirit awakens, which means that the potential of the spirit will be improved. You are a genius who grew up by absorbing spirit rings of higher levels. Now with the help of the dark attribute, you will definitely have a bright future. However, I want to remind you that the dark attribute is a double-edged sword, so you have to be careful when practicing."
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Highness." Xia Liang cupped his hands.
Xue Qinghe smiled and shook his head, "Have you forgotten what I said to you so quickly? Forget about the prince. Brother Xia, just call me Brother Xue. There is no need for us to be bound by rules and regulations. If you are free, let's go to the office and talk. How do you think?"
"Okay." Xia Liang followed Xue Qinghe to the dean's office.
